Shinku is reaching out with in Nature to find little Calista has ran off too and stop the child before she loses another Child to the darkness.
But what Shinku dose not know is the little tag along that is following close behind her in secret!

Have you ever had the experience of suddenly noticing something startlingly different on a familiar walk? Something that was always there, blindingly obvious, and yet you missed it until just now? For me, this was it. Just a block off of the Main Drag in Morro Bay, I've walked innumerous times, evidently I'v always had my head down looking at other things (which are plenty). This time I happened to look up and had to stop and take a step back. These Cacti were huge and had plainly been there for quite awhile! And I gotta say, really impressive! Glad my Fairy Godmother finally yanked my nose up!
The clouds parted for just long enough..
Having not used my camera while ill, and learning to use the MPC ONE (music gear), im a bit out of practice... but happy with this for a handheld shot. (gate assisted!)

Two branches emerge from the melting ice
As if they might take part in the renewal
Reaching toward Spring
On a pristine February day, with snow still piled high, I decided to bundle up, and brave a trip to the arboretum only to find that the entire west side was closed. I was able to park close by there though, and walk in. Only a few others were there. Some small streams were poking their way through the deep drifts. I found a Red-Tailed Hawk on the ground having a lunch of squirrel tartare on ice. Lake Marmo had frozen solid, and there were footprints going all the way across it - mostly animal tracks, and despite the signs warning to stay off the ice, some human footprints too.
As I made my way uptoward Sterling Pond, I was looking at the patterns of sun and shade on the melting ice of the connecting stream, and found these two, downed branches poking up through the barely melted ice, creating some beautiful shapes, and fascinating ice boundaries. I moved around for some different perspectives, and realized the two appeared to be intertwining. I moved closer, stepping into the knee deep snow drifts next to tall stream bank - being very careful since I could not see exactly where the steep edge was. I got as close as I dared, and then leaned out to get this interplay between the two branches, the melting ice, animal tracks, the reflected woods and sky. A nice moment.
I later shaped this image - bringing out the colors, emphasizing the halo of light, the reflections, the edges of the ice. To add to the ethereal quality, I used custom texturizing brushes to bend the edges of the image toward that look, although I ended up using only a tiny bit of that in this work.
I hope Spring, and a new awakening is starting to appear where ever you are!
Given the unfinished state of the new brand Forth Road bridge there was no way I was going pass an opportunity up to shoot this as once it's finished you cannot repeat this shot, another bout of rainstorms had appeared and one can be seen on the far shoreline at Dalmeny touching down, a break on the North Queensferry side allowed for this to be taken before it poured down yet again for the umpteenth time so I was really lucky to be able to get this in a tiny window of opportunity between the storms.
The work that is going into this is huge and it's very impressive stood below watching from the shoreline.
One of my favourite images from a fantastic morning on the shores of Ullswater. Conditions were perfect with soft sunlight, mist and still water. What more could you ask for?
Currie St, Adelaide.
Architecture around Adelaide. I never tire of finding new wonders or reaquainting with old ones.
Hot liquid magma reaching out from underneath the crust. There is a new volcano now in Spain.
Wish I could go, but too busy with work. Search Youtube for "Spain Volcano Live" and you'll see it is another great show.

Reaching up into the celestial skies
Seems always the answer to all hows and whys
My needs are petty when I give in and release
One with the trees and the clouds and at peace
These wind turbines turn in unison reaching skyward as the the morning sun also glows it's magnificence !
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.
Have a safe and magnificent day dear flickr friends !
The Amaryllis that we had planted before Christmas is growing rapidly as it reaches for every bit of sunlight.

My 4th night playing with drips, and I LOVE it! I tell you what though....it requires an incredible amount of patience. I decided to tweek my settings this afternoon and try to take a slightly different approach.
4 hours later and I got my set-up back to how I wanted it! D'oh!!

The outside wall of the amphitheatre in Verona would have reached much higher. Now the arena, although intact, is a much smaller version of its original self
Chairs are handy for reaching high places.

Great people and great music, go check out their website!
You can't get anywhere in your life if you don't reach out for it!
You got to reach for it and grab it with both hands!
I wish you all a wonderful and joyful December! It's such a Magical time of the year! :)
I love the way the flowers are all reaching for the sun - the same but differently. We all have to take our own path to find our sun. Hope you have a fantastic Friday!
The clouds were a bit too thick to allow the colours of sunrise to break-through. Fortunately there was a clear patch of sky which was used to good effect during this long exposure.
