The one chance we may ever have to shoot a lunar eclipse during blue hour and over city lights and it was cloudy here! Earlier in the evening, a lady came up to me and asked me where the eclipse was. I said, 'It's in this direction and behind the clouds.' She asked me, 'Do you know when are they going to make the clouds go away?' I said, 'I'll ask.' The Moon finally did make an appearance...
This is a composite of three shots taken last night from the same spot.

Photographed at the Lakeside STA
Yes that is the same fence from which the wet web bung in the prior photo - a two-fer.
From Cornell:
The sweet, lazy whistles of Eastern Meadowlarks waft over summer grasslands and farms in eastern North America. The birds themselves sing from fenceposts and telephone lines or stalk through the grasses, probing the ground for insects with their long, sharp bills. On the ground, their brown-and-black dappled upperparts camouflage the birds among dirt clods and dry grasses. But up on perches, they reveal bright-yellow underparts and a striking black chevron across the chest.
Lakeside Ranch Stormwater Treatment Area (STA)
Located in western Martin County, the Lakeside Ranch Stormwater Treatment Area plays a crucial role in the restoration of the Lake Okeechobee watershed by improving the quality of water flowing into the lake. The wetlands treats stormwater runoff from the Taylor Creek and Nubbin Slough basins to the north before that runoff enters Lake Okeechobee.
Approximately 2,700 acres of Lakeside Ranch is open to the public to enjoy hiking, bicycling, wildlife viewing or simply relaxing. The recreation area is surrounded by levees that are accessible to visitors on foot or on bicycle.
I was leaving Fernhill, and heard a yellowthroat calling in the brush. Decided to pish it out, and it cooperatively showed itself, then went back into hiding. Got a few shots in that revealed position.

Spring in Wyoming reveals lush green grass for the bison to graze on.
The bison of Yellowstone are the last free-ranging bison of a once staggering population of tens of millions of these large animals. Today, the total bison in Yellowstone numbers around 5500.
On this overcast day, punctuated by periodic showers, it was a nice respite for me to find this small gathering of about twenty total bison grazing in a field along the Yellowstone River, just south of the Yellowstone Falls area. As is the norm during the summer months, cars were parked all along the Grand Loop Road as people tried to get an up close view of these magnificent creatures.
Congrats on Explore!

The early morning mist had started to burn away and reveal a couple of small islets. We had stayed the night at the wonderfully remote youth hostel on the shores of Loch Ossain and would have a very long day ahead so an early start was made and with it we caught the low in alls its splendour.

Million rays of light sliced by the tallest firs during a rift in the middle of the day.
I have been desperate to shoot in fog for ages. This was actually one of my first shots. I took zillions, but I think this came out best.
Same spot handheld waiting for the clouds to roll over the Argus Range from 15 miles away. The light was rapidly changing.
Southern Outer Banks. A look to the right in the photo reveals the breaks in the barrier dunes because of Hurricane Florence which caused a lot of damage here. Thanks for your visit and support. Have a relaxing Sunday.
Moments of solace are often found at different points within the world. Overcoming challenges like solitude have created some ecstatic hair standing moments in my life. For me spiritual experiences and ultimately serenity is easier to locate when confronted by the raw power of the natural world. I've found that part of the medicine for my being is to create, confront, and overcome hardships, which allow me greater understanding of the human condition. Through the process of constant challenge, and overcome, I've found that I'm often able to manifest or create my desire. For me, personally, this picture is testament that with a goal in mind and the will to make it happen the desired outcome will surely come to pass.
To all the people that I met on my latest journey, thank you for helping create an overall positive experience and making room to connect.
Liked this view looking down river over the rocks and potholes revealed ... looking towards the warmer sunrise light as the blue hour was leaving.
View along the pretty Gunpowder River in Maryland.
Captured here with my new 14mm f2.8 lens, captured at f/22. The prime manual lens is pretty sharp ... well worth the cost I think, that was not too bad for the Rokinon lens.
Lotus flowers don't last long - this is later in the 2nd day of flowering and much is revealed regarding the life cycle of the lotus.
A short tele-photo photo reveals the innards of a lotus flower.
As you can see, there are many petals, this variety is white (they are often pink or some combination of the two).
In the center of the flowers, there are many yellow stamens with white tips and an obconical receptacle with many holes, each containing an ovary. The receptacle develops into a large, obconical, spongy structure, flat on top, and maturing some 20–30 nuts generally - this one is smaller. The nuts are ellipsoidal or obovoidal, deep brown in color with hard shells, and about 2 cm long.
The history of the lotus can be traced back to the diluvia epoch, the formation of which, in central Japan, contains the fossil rhizomes and fruits of lotus. Records show that it was grown in ancient Egypt and that a white-flowered variety was grown in India as early as 500 bc (this is likely a descendent).
Splitting bark on birch.
The main reason that birches split or shed their bark is that the tree is growing. As the bark can't stretch or expand, it splits making way for the next layer underneath. The patterns created can be fantastic and the contrasts between old and new are lovely too.
Thorp Perrow Arboretum, North Yorkshire.
A secret barn of sorts - not visible during the summer with all the trees and shrubbery hiding its ruby facade. But with the leaves gone, and the shrubs died back from winter freeze, her rugged and weathered beauty is displayed.
Saw this mixed bouquet, spotted a few of these beauties amongst other Spring flowers.
Tulips, of the frayed/frazzled variety. Because of the warmth of the lights, they opened and revealed all.
Ruffled skirts, ready to Rumba?
I don't talk to flowers, they talk to me and I gladly listen!
Yes, in full communication again.
Hope this makes you smile again, have a great day and thanx for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)

Still not sure on this image, taken just before new year, the sunrise never quite lit up so opted for a long exposure of the rocks as the tide receeeded
Now been cleared of all the brambles and gorse and wild
weeds to reveal a double wooden door now visible that was totally hidden before.
Soakaways and other drainage systems once well inland from the cliff edge are now lying broken and exposed on the seashore.

I've always liked the colors of our photinia in autumn.
This photo was part of a spontaneous session I shot a couple of years ago. I vividly recall driving past this place and thinking I had entered some sort of portal that allowed time travel. It wasn't simply the wonderful Victorian house, but everything that surrounded it. It felt for all the world like I had moved back in time. But more than that, it felt like a movie set with everything carefully crafted to give the impression of a small town street in a much simpler time. All the touches were there, the stone column flanking a wrought iron fence; bare tree, crooked street sign, and that wonderful front porch. This is not one of those century villages full of preserved historic architecture. The house is situated on a city street, surrounded by ample evidence of the modern era. Yet somehow this corner of Highland Avenue has escaped the visual clutter and is locked into a decades-old visual appearance. As it happened, my completely random discovery of this place coincided with absolutely perfect sky and cloud conditions. The low sun angle provide deep shadows and greatly enhanced the mood. And the fallen leaves added to the atmosphere. It just wouldn't have been the same had the leaves been raked away to reveal a bare tree lawn and pavement. All part of that timeless quality and autumnal ambiance. I post a photo of this place every autumn; it's sort of like putting up a seasonal decoration. I just love the way the scene makes me feel.
Barns normally deteriorate from top down as moisture creeps in broken shingles and leaky cupolas and starts an ongoing process. Often farmers years ago sought life extension for barns by using tin sheets over both the roof and siding. As tin sheets get loosened over time the underbelly of red painted wood gets revealed as it does on this barn.
