(Re-edit of my favorite shot from the Grand Teton NP in Sept 2020)
The day before we had checked the weather and there was a 100% chance of rain with a possibility of snow in higher elevations. After a good night’s sleep from travelling down from Yellowstone NP the day before, I walked outside to find a snow covered car that I had to scrape off before hitting the highway down the road to Mormon Row. To say I was excited would be an understatement.
The Mormon Row road was covered in heavy packed snow that reached the bottom of my Toyota Corolla. I had come to far to not get to this famous structure photographed, so it was onward with a short prayer that I get there without ruining the car.
We had researched the two Moulton Barns on just about every channel but like most people know, you don’t know how it feels to experience anything without being there in person. The sights, the sounds, the smells. There are two Moulton barns a short distance from each other but I thought this one was more iconic. The Mormon settlers were sent out to establish new communites from Salt Lake City to support their growing population.
I had packed winter coats and stocking caps for the off chance that we might need them. We did. There was about 2-4 inches on the ground and the mountains the day before had very little snow on them at all. I got there around 6:40am and first light was to be just shortly before 7am. There were about 10 photographers out there with me waiting for the sun to peak over the mountains behind us. Right on time, the sun began to illuminate the Grand Tetons behind the John Moulton barn. I shot from different perspectives but this was my favorite of the set. Still dark enough to feel the sense of cold (19 degress F) with just enough ample light. I started with my 16-35L but ended up using 24-105L to fill the frame more tightly. I’ve seen plenty of photographs where the barn is higher than the mountain range and that was something I didn’t want. The fence around this barn vs. the other gives it more of a western feel and just compliments the entire area.
As always thanks for viewing my photographs and if you feel so inclined please like and comment your feelings on this capture. Have you ever been?

HMM- since the wooden shoes didn't pass muster, i am going with this one for my back-up for my choice for today, 8/31, for the macro mondays' group pool for the theme of sound. this was designed (with the semicircular cutouts) to make a sound to let the owner of the tea kettle know when the water is heated to an optimum temperature. most of my pictures were in the homemade musical instruments category ~grin~

This is a picture I told myself I would, one day, get around to working on. I guess that day happened because here is the shot.
Up on Grizzly Peak Boulevard, which meanders across the Berkeley Hills for a spell, near the top, you can see for many miles to the west and that means many photographic possibilities, like the ever-popular tight tele-photo shots of San Francisco. But that's not the only thing you will see. There are always ample car and motorcycle groups and then there are people trying to drive the road as fast as they can, too.
In any case, they all make light trails.
Thanks for your time and support!

One of the inner hobbies extending from photography is getting lost somewhere, this moment was no exception. When one can observe, record and appreciate the environment and all the while not really know where you are, that is the hallmark of exploration and it’s a beautiful experience.
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you 😊
Okay, to be honest, I didn't wait very long, but I was intrigued by the possibility of a locomotive headlight piercing through that fog. But was I going to forfeit other possibilities down the road for something that probably would not happen?
So, I pressed on. Well sure enough, about 10 minutes after I left, I heard that whistle blowin'.... Maybe another morning?
My last image for 2019 and many more possibilities in 2020... Happy New Year & Best Wishes to ALL.....:)
HMM- for the theme for 4/8 "look up". this is a possibility
btb, did you know that the spaces inside the Os created the silhouettes of a to-go cup and a coffee cup? there you have your new learning of the day.
btb2, set-up shot in the first comment box, to prove it was looking up ~grin~
HSS- did a bit of defining

Overview of Bayon from the south. It was constructed by Jayavarman VII along with the fortified citadel of Angkor Thom that houses Bayon. They are considered the culmination of a series of his religious and architectural projects. It is supposed to have been constructed from the late 12th century until the early 13th century after the construction of Preah Khan.
Two photos were merged to get this image.
It is exceptional as a Khmer architecture compared to authentic Angkor Wat due to its hybridisation of Hinduism and Buddhism. A scholar of archaeology referred to the temple as the baroque of Khmer architecture.
To my eye, it looks like a Hindu temple rather than Buddhist as it is built as a temple mountain with the central prang (tower) to mimic Mt. Sumeru.
Since Khmer Empire reverted to Hinduism after the death of Jayavarman VII, there is a possibility of having modified the temple for Hinduism.
the macromonday theme for 11/26 was dots and/or stripes. i liked this wide crop one a lot but it was over the 3 inch parameter
...for something to happen on such a gorgeous day!
Sugar has new eyechips! Thanks once again to Lynne!! Hugs, Lynne!
Sugar's darling dress from dolly molly...thanks sooo much! Love this dress...and this very cool collar!
This is a montage of the recent full moon and a clear night.
Dreams are free and come with limitless possibilities. HMMM
Think of the inventions and art that might not exist in the world if people hadn't taken the time to dwell in possibility. I worry that we have so many distractions nowdays that perhaps there is going to be a drought of innovation from minds too busy playing video games or worrying about their smart phones. Do people still tinker list they used to?
HMM-- the macromondays' theme for today is silver and/or gold :).. of the four possibilities, this one might be closest to my heart since almost all my macros are done with this dear little point&shoot.
(yes, i have two of them so that's how this was created.)
the diameter of this camera portion is an inch and 7/8ths

The cage was never locked, but she had forgotten how to push the door. Years of silence had curled around her like vines, holding her in place. One morning, she saw it—a crack of light spilling through the bars, a taste of air that didn’t feel stolen.
She stepped outside, her first breath sharp and alive, filling her lungs with sky. Above her, clouds drifted like promises she could almost touch. A bird soared past, wings slicing the wind, and she felt something stir in her chest—a memory, a yearning.
The sea called her next, its rhythm a heartbeat older than time. She walked to the shore, her footprints new on the sand. The waves kissed her ankles, cool and insistent, as if saying, “Come further.”
She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply, the salt and sun tangling inside her. It felt like birth—like the first breath she’d ever taken. In that moment, hope unfolded within her, soft and unbroken.
The cages were behind her now, forgotten. Ahead was only sky, sea, and the endless possibility of flight.

HMM-- the theme for today, 8/17 is push/pull. found this theme particularly tricky since several of mine were trying to show the push or pull action, which is not easy when simultaneously trying to push the buttons on an iphone ~grin~, so i opted for no action. this may be the best macro of the four and it surprised me to discover that floss was more ribbon-y than thread-y.
"macro mondays" pushpull possibility
Wishing all my Flickr friends, a happy and healthy new year and as one of my friends always says , "Never lose your sparkle" 😉
Schrodinger's cat is a famous theoretical thought experiment in quantum physics
If even remotely interested......
There's something called The Copenhagen Interpretation that posits that "things" at the subatomic level don't have any determined properties, only possibilities. A particle can be in two places at the same time, the atom can be in both an excited and unexcited state at the same time, and a photon can be both a particle and a wave.
What determines what we see is our measurement and observation,
Then all the probabilities collapse into one, the one being observed.
Schrodinger wasn't a fan of that theory, so he devised a thought experiment to show how absurd it would be to apply to the gross world of stuff.
He said imagine we put a cat in a box. Also in the box is a radioactive particle which might, or might not begin to decay and emit radiation. If it does, there's a gieger counter which will trigger the release of a noxious gas that will kill the cat.
Then we put a lid on the box.
But until someone opens the box, the cat is both alive and dead.
That's hugely oversimplified, but it's the layman's gist.
This little cat was sitting under a curb on a recessed sewer grate.
So,, is it coming or going or both?
I'm happy to say it was alive. ;-))
"The Daisy follows soft the Sun --
And when his golden walk is done --
Sits shyly at his feet --
He -- waking -- finds the flower there --
Wherefore -- Marauder -- art thou here?
Because, Sir, love is sweet!
We are the Flower -- Thou the Sun!
Forgive us, if as days decline --
We nearer steal to Thee!
Enamored of the parting West --
The peace -- the flight -- the Amethyst --
Night's possibility!"
- Emily Dickinson
