There 's nothing like cool temperatures and fresh air to raise the spirits. during my forays to the Alabama Hills the temperature can get up into the 100's and when they do, this is where I seek refuge. At around 9000 ft in elevation the difference in temperature is about 15 degrees and there nothing better the a fine mist that floats away from the falls right onto your weary soul.

in the eyes of a cat I read a dumb question: why did you come?.in the wasteland the only stone that has heated up during the day and on it sits a nice cat..I am often asked why I like cats? A cat is a symbol of freedom and independence. They rarely show aggression. They are our doctors. They are just very, very cute:)
We do not always see what is before our face -
sometimes we see what we hope to see,
or fear we will see.

The question is what do you see ;-))
Thank you, everyone, for the comments and faves to my posting last week of Salthenge. There were many questions from that shot, so I wanted to take time and answer for everyone.
Today's view of Salthenge includes two folding chairs to give it scale.
If you want to leave comments, please add to the other one here flic.kr/p/2kTxRt1
Q: Who created it?
A; Still unknown. I am betting on aliens, and its a secret signal
Q: Where are the footprints?
A: Further proof of aliens......this section of salt is rock hard and not like beach sand. Many areas of the lake has loose / soft salt that is fragile, but this area is sunbaked hard, like concrete.
A bigger problem is tracking dirt/sand on the salt and leaving those dirt footprints (I was extra careful)
Q: Where did the rocks come from?
A: Aliens or an area of rocks about 66 meters / 216 feet away
Q: How large is this?
A: Did my photo today help give it scale? Maybe I should let you know those folding chairs are 12.7cm /5 inches tall :-) No drone involved, just the mini chairs and my Sony a7iii :-)
Q: How long will it last?
A: Humans create things, and just as fast, they destroy things. It becomes much harder to take apart if it lasts a few months as the salt will act like concrete holding them in place.
Q: How big are the rocks?
A: The largest one is maybe 6 inches / 15cm. The entire circle is about 2 meters / 6.5 feet
Q: Roy wants to know why comments are always off
A: Roy, they are only off for you :-) No one else has this problem.
The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.

The tree, or not the tree, that is the question ...
Ёлка или не ёлка, вот в чём вопрос.
Поздравляю со Старым Новым Годом!
Caught this girl in a moment of what looked like quiet reflection, and it got me wondering if such creatures actually think, they say for every idea conceived somewhere else it exists. It also took me back to the rhetorical question from the movie the Fly (1986) when Brundle asks, "Have you ever heard of insect politics?! Neither have I." As later explained insects do not have politics but therein lies just how much worse the human thinking is, we have politics and still are brutal, but have a conceited and externalising sociopolitical excuse to pardon ourselves or blame others whilst remaining so appalled at the way natural predators behave. Is it little wonder that so many people prefer the company of animals and not other people?!
Here's to a great weekend ahead, I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)
do you see the cracks in the sky
the lies
their satanic ways
question is...
can you see - ?
will you rise ...
What's my purpose?
Oh, what's my future? I don't know
These are the questions I address before I go to sleep
I wish my mind would turn off with the lights
And my TV screen, but here in the dark, everything off
I start to think
It gets hard to breathe
I, I, I, I, I'm in over my
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my— I'm in over my head
All these thoughts are an ocean I'm drowning in
I'm in over my— I'm in over my head
I'm in over my— I'm in over my head
I'm in over my— I'm in over my head
There are times when I question my own sanity – this photo is a good example. I waited two hours to get just the right light at this silly little water fall.
When I arrived half the Hayes Creek Falls water was in bright sun and the other half in shadow. I loved the way the water flows on this and couldn’t walk away without a good shot. So I waited and waited and waited…..
Nous sommes nos choix et alors !
Suis-je mort sans avoir vécu ma vie ?
Quelquefois, je me pose la question…
La seule chose que je sais vraiment.
C’est que même si nous sommes nos choix.
La vérité est bien plus complexe…
Même quand Sartre écrit cette phrase.
C’est vrai nos choix nous définissent.
Mais à certains moments de notre vie,
Avons-nous eu d’autres ressources ?
De faire, d’accepter un mauvais choix.
Je me méfie des donneurs de leçons…
Personne ne détient la vérité
C’est gens-là sont la farce de leur moi.
Juste une vison de leur nombril.
On n’a pas toujours le choix de nos vies !
A méditer pour le plus grand nombre.
Michaël Overberg

"The question is, are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see an elephant except in a picture book?"
David Attenborough
Let's hope not.
That was the question I was asked because I was using my long lens on a popular trail. If I am using such a big piece of equipment, surely I see something interesting off in the distance. They didn't know how to react to my response - "A mountain bluebird in that dead tree".
People generally don't go to Yellowstone for the birds and they certainly don't do so when walking to the lookout for the Grand Prismatic Spring. But being from the east, I couldn't pass on the opportunity to catch an image of these lovely birds, especially if I got lucky to get one to land in the pine tree with orange-red needles.

New blog: I was looking for an affordable action camera and this is it. This camera is everything I would expect it to be.
REVIEW: Sunplus SP5K Series

Leandro Erlich, "Port of Reflexions", 2014, structure métallique, bois, bateaux en fibre de verre, moquette noire, miroir, éclairage et système de mouvement.
" La première installation, une entrée en matière poétique, nous plonge dans une semi-obscurité. Le visiteur zigzague sur une rampe qui débouche sur un embarcadère. Il domine alors un petit port où six barques sont amarrées et tanguent doucement. On entend le clapotis de l'eau. C'est paisible et tout à fait charmant. Mais à y regarder de plus près... il y a un truc qui cloche. On réalise peu à peu qu'il n'y a pas d'eau sous les bateaux et que les reflets qu'on était certain d'avoir vus sont des mirages. On s'amuse alors à essayer de comprendre. Comment a-t-il fait pour nous berner ?
Un seul bateau a ses rames dans l'eau. Leur reflet est en réalité une sculpture en bois. Les six barques que l'on aurait juré avoir comptées ne sont que trois. Un système mécanique les fait osciller. Parce qu'elles ressemblent à des bateaux, bougent comme des bateaux et parce que nous savons que les bateaux flottent sur l'eau, notre cerveau a imaginé le reste.
L'œuvre révèle combien nous voyons les choses à travers le prisme de nos préjugés. Elle invite à se questionner sur le rapport entre l'image et la réalité, d'où son titre : Port of Reflexions. Faut-il douter de tout ? Comment démêler le faux du vrai ? "

Similar to the Eastern Comma, the Question Mark butterfly is a common summer sight in Southern Ontario.

I wish I knew what these were, they appear vary alien like to me, because I am not here very often (ever). What is the purpose of all the thorns? Its a very odd looking plant.
I am proud to say, you can also find this image on iStock. www.istockphoto.com/portfolio/ChristopherShaw
I always thought he was so handsome—movie star handsome! I don’t know the story behind this old photo, and anyone who could tell it to me is now gone. Why don’t we ask more questions when we’re young? I love this dog—I don’t even know if it was his—but it makes me think of the dog who was pictured with the old gramophone.
So it all seemed worthy of the HandHeld Art “Nostalgia” contest.

the yellow-billed spoonbill (Platalea flavipes)
The question is:
How does the spoonbill make a little fish jump into its open mouth?
A biologist's answer is:
The answer lies in its extraordinary spoon.
The spoonbill's answer is:
How? The good Lord knows. I just do it.

The theme for Looking Close…on Friday is Clothes Pegs. These are clothes clips that can hook over a railing, fence, or nail, so a clothesline is unnecessary. 💙❓❓
C'est celui de derrière bien sûr qui est l'objet de la question: il semble être un gros cumulonimbus
Les nuages de devant semblent être des cumulus "classiques" quoique fort développés. Tout cela annonce un bel orage derrière la Montagne de Couspeau....
It seems that the hail clouds are anvil-shaped.... Would that be one?

The derelict Myrtle B Fonteno Building in Houston, formerly used by the Mental Health Mental Retardation Authority of Harris County. You can learn as much as I know about the place by overriding your spell checker and searching for it. Now home to a lot of interesting graffiti, as we will see in due course. Many questions; e.g. Shouldn't the county manage this asset? How did the many contributing street artists allocate space?
I'll flip back to Waxahachie for more Renaissance portraits, but wanted to mix up the subjects and aspect ratios on my photo stream a little.
This is a three-shot merge, my first such attempt. Turns out to be trickier than I thought, but the result is not too bad.
