The clocks of the Musée d'Orsay's exterior facing the Seine are very cool to see, and a great reminder of the Museum's former role as a train station. They offer a direct view of the Louvre and the Jardin des Tuileries.
A shot of the storm that swirled about some distant peaks, viewed from the slopes of Emerald Peak. I liked how the clouds formed a gap, allowing me to view the blue shades of the storm in the valley beyond. Thanks for looking!

"Peering Through:" The many rows of aspens in northern Arizona allowed me to use some closer trunks as framing for the deeper forest beyond. Here you can also see that the foliage transition was occurring in layers, as some of the leaves in the lower levels were still green, giving way to golden hues higher up. By now, most likely all the trees are bare or close to it. It's amazing how quickly some of these changes happen, yet right before our very eyes.
The bearded tit is an unmistakable cinnamon-coloured bird of reedbeds in the south, east and north-west of England. Males actually sport a black 'moustache', rather than a beard!
