A flooded marsh at Bear Lake National Wildlife Refuge in Idaho reflects the clouds when the wind stops for a few minutes.
L'ancienne ferme d'alpage est aménagée en refuge mais n'a pas beaucoup changé depuis l'enfance du propriétaire qui y venait l'été aider ses grands-parents à s'occuper des vaches...
Psalm 142:4 “Look to the right and see: no one stands up for me; there is no refuge for me; no one cares about me.”
Castle Tirol - Schloss Tirol, Meraner Land, Südtirol
Ehem. Residenzburg der Grafen von Tirol, die erste Anlage wurde im 11. Jahrhundert errichtet. Die Burg beheimatet heute das Südtiroler Landesmuseum für Kultur- und Landesgeschichte. Im Norden abwärts gelegen ist die Stadt Meran.
The former residency of the counts of Tirol, the first buildings have been erected in the 11. century. It houses nowadays the museum of history and culture of South Tirol. The city of Meran is located north of it downhill.
This egret was hunting in the shallow water. From my vantage point, it looked like it was in a field next to the water. Yet it would stab down, then come back with a fish periodically. At Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge.
Was quite the moody morning I had there in the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge with the clouds and then rain that moved in. The colors at sunrise were nice pastel shades.
Composed this with the neat fencing that can be found that I assume is placed there to control the marsh grasses and growth / movement. Possible to keep out fisherman when the tide is in. But there are there in various locations across the area.
They made for some interesting compositions I think.
Happy Fence Friday :)
This chickadee came at the tree from below, perching in this seemingly awkward position. Didn't seem to bother it, though! At the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge.
Double-crested Cormorants are fast flyers and I'm usually lousy at capturing fast flyers. However, I had a bit of luck with this one as it flew by in Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, Utah.
But even with 1/1250 shutter speed, there's still a bit of wing motion blur. Yep, that's a fast flyer.
Another installment from our recent three-state journey.
The permanent way hut at Ribblehead has recently had its door torn from its hinges revealing the items stored within, rock salt, grease and cable to name but a few. I wonder how many have taken refuge in here over the years? Aside from this 40145 has just run off the famous viaduct with 1Z44 Appleby to Skipton with the sunshine and shadows rushing across Blea Moor in the background.
A storm settles in above Alaska's Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge.
One of the benefits of my trip to Alaska in the summer was to have a much longer autumn season, regarding foliage. This was taken on August 29th and the colors were already turning beautifully. A month earlier then when the fall foliage begins in WA. Nice!
"Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge is part of the world’s largest contiguous conservation unit, sharing a border with Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve and Kluane National Park in Canada. The Alaska Highway borders the refuge, providing unique opportunities to access the area.
Lying near the Canadian border, Tetlin is one of only two refuges in Alaska that are road accessible. It harbors a varied landscape, from rugged snowcapped peaks and glacially fed rivers to tundra, forest, and wetlands. The Refuge was established to conserve waterfowl, raptors and other migratory birds, furbearers, moose, and caribou—which lie in abundance within its borders.
Enjoy a wonderful Sunday!
I took refuge standing on a bigger boulder for this shot, was trying to get closer to the 3 rocks in the centre of the image, but every time i got a chance to venture out the waves came crashing back in and I got soaked up to my knees and 2 full wellies, still like this one though
Dangerous love
You're no good for me, darling
Yeah, you turn me away
Like I'm begging for a dollar
Danger, oh, how you hold me
I get a chill inside
And nothing frightens me, baby
Oh
Is it love when so easily said goodbye?
Is it love when we've given up before we tried?
Is it love when you stole my peace of mind?
Is it love when you cry, and cry, and cry?
So when you walk out that door
Don't you come back no more
My heart has had enough of the give and take
And as much as I want you to stay
You're a dangerous love
Baby, you're no good for me, darling
'Cause if you're gonna love me and leave me hanging here
Then I'd rather you leave me lonely
Even though it hurts
You're a dangerous love
Quick snap with the wife as we come up on our anniversary.
I love you as wildly as the storms we're both children of. ♥
