"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!

I totally staged this shot, lining up snails I found on a rainy day along the Cliffwalk in Newport, RI. But then they did their thing, checking out their new surroundings, and their heads lined up just perfectly :)

Every morning, monks go on their alms round, old and young in an almost perfect line.... Until a photographer shows up and (slightly) disrupts the proceedings!

Snæfellsnes, Iceland
This is one of the more photographed spots of Iceland. On this chilly winter afternoon, we were the only ones there.
We were hoping that the clouds would catch more of the sunset colors, but unfortunately the sun hid behind some clouds behind us.
This was 5 vertical shots stitched.
Here's another angle of Mt. Kirkjufell taken earlier that day.
Captured a red-legged grasshopper in my yard, Spokane, WA.

My 4 year old cat Emma presents me with the rare chance to photograph her. It's pretty hard to get her to stay still, let alone look at the camera, but here she is gazing between the vintage table legs of the family dining room table.
With the weather lousy, I've spent an inordinate amount of time pretending to be an artist and fiddling w/flowers after the fashion of O'Keeffe. In large part, it has become an exercise in frustration as each image yields the potential of 4-5 different perspectives from the same shot...and I cannot decide which I prefer, continuing to fiddle and becoming even more confused while cropping my brain away.
This, by the way, is not one of those images. While it is "big" and shows the variation possibilities, it does not convey the conceptual "brush strokes" I am hoping to suggest. That series to follow...at some point...maybe...;-)
Sunrise at the Wharf Street peer in Maroochydore. These are 2 shots blended one for the peer and the moon and a other one for the stars.
Tupini is an astronomer from the ice region of Okoto. Being the last and most skilled astronomer on the island, Ekimu awarded her a golden Mask of Ice, which she uses in conjunction with her much cherished telescope to peer into the heavens. She has seen and catalogued many fascinating things up above in her time, including some things she’d rather keep secret…
Not sure about this one. Not my usual. But am completely inspired by the amazing photos at Shutter Sisters, so thought I'd try something with a different feel.
Rotterdam, Capelsebrug, 20 December 2024.
At the start of the concession Qbuzz didn't have enough serviceable buses, therefore a wide variety of buses were drafted in from various other smaller operators.
3 Shot HDR with 2 Step Bracketing.Still On The Mirror Kick =) When I was taking this I didn't intend for the triangles in the rocks and in the sky to line up so well. (Even Tho I'd Love To Say I Planned It =)
