Big old tree of Japanese Clethra looks gnarled & fantastic.
Botanical name: Clethra Anatolia; English name: Japanese Clethra. This tree grows slowly at this barren land.
リョウブは成長すると樹皮が剝げ落ちて, 木肌がツルツルになります。地上根は逞しい反面, 地下根は浅く短く, 幹は傾きがちです。特に土壌層が薄くて直ぐ溶岩層となる天城では, こんな格好に成ります。リョウブは成長速度が遅いので, この古木の樹齢は全く見当が付きません。

Back to reality!!! My brain is still foggy and resisting the idea of going back to work. I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays.
Found baby sea turtles last Christmas. I like the message of hope and strength they represent. Last year was certainly challenging but pushing through this year with a mindset of perseverance against adversity 😊

I came across this flower, looking tattered and torn. The petals seemed to have had a rough go off it, but the center landing pad was still calling out to all the pollinators.

“By perseverance the snail reached the ark.”
We were out in the garden filling up Randie's little watering can
to water the flowers. We must have filled it up 3 times before I noticed
this little guy trying to escape sudden death trapped in the can filled with
water. A moment later another little fella followed :)
Good thing my mother in law was not around.. she would have stomped
on them!! Happy Sunday Everyone!!

Sunshine in the past week; it felt like Spring and sometimes even like Summer!
Rain and nothing but rain last weekend...it felt like Autumn...
And lots of snow and again since yesterday: Winter, so we have it all within one week! :-)
If you think you have a hard life... Think again!

It is very likely to have clouds in Alberta for any celestial event of significance, no surprise if we are overcast for this episode of Moon and Mars conjunction. Here I have an image from last occurrence, You can see Mars at 11 O' Clock of moon.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
I have always seen images from this location. It is called secret beach, a funny name given that it is not so secret. It did take a while to find the location though. Its quite a trek from my house, a good 5 hours. Once I found the location, I was determined to get this image.
I packed the family in the truck, put the trailer on the back, and headed out. We got to Bandon and it was foggy, very foggy. Ah, it will blow off, right? I mean, you can really only shoot the Milky Way during a new moon, so the weather was going know that I needed this image and it would blow off, right? Nope. Fog city all weekend. Well, I did get a chance to go to the beach and scout out where I would shoot from, some day. So I guess it was not a total waste.
I set up another trip, on another new moon date but this time I watched the weather a little more closely. The weekend came up, and fog again. This time I did not even go to the beach.
But then the stars aligned, a new moon, and the whether said it would be a clear night. I made the trip with the family again, but this time tried to make it more fun (and faster) by making it a tent, trip. That worked well, it had been years since we camped in a tent. Everyone liked it and had a great time. Even the two big dogs. So I set out on Friday night to the beach. Guess what. Fog. Totally fogged out. I waited for hours and hours hoping it would clear up. Chatted with a few other photographers who laughed at me sitting there in the fog waiting. Good thing I brought a camp chair. There would be no image this night. I was not about to give up, this place was not close, and a pain to get the forces all in my favor.
I went back out the second night. This time I won, sort of. I like to use a star tracker to shoot stars, but I did not realize that because of the forest, you could not see the North Star from here, so the star tracker could not be aligned. So I shot this one old-school, long shutter, higher ISO. Glad photoshop can address the noise better now.
Anyway, got the image. Let me know what you think.
