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.

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.

NO TRIPOD USED, HANDHELD ONLY AND THEY CAME OUT PERFECTLY ALIGNED. I TOOK ONLY THREE PICTURES TO MAKE THIS PANORAMIC.
Liu Fang Yuan, the Garden of Flowing Fragrance, is one of the largest Chinese gardens
outside China. Designed to create, preserve, and promote the rich and complex traditions of Chinese
culture, this authentic garden is a special place for visitors to feel inspired by the elegant harmony
of nature and poetry. Thanks to visionary landscape architects and artisans from China and the
United States, inspired historians, expert gardeners, and generous benefactors, Liu Fang Yuan
reflects today an exceptional combination of learning and beauty.
A Chinese garden is often compared to a work of art: It is like a scroll painting composed of carefully arranged scenes. As you stroll through the pathways and pavilions of Liu Fang Yuan, new vistas are revealed as if a scroll were being slowly unrolled. In the garden, as in a painting, several key elements play an important part in creating balance, meaning, and beauty in the composition.

In this evening the north coast of El Hierro revealed its unspoilt and rough beauty. The waves were big and the light was golden in this magical moment. El Hierro 2016.
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.
A rather turbulent looking and somewhat elongated cloud, skirts the surface of the ocean and touches the crest of Pender Island. Above and behind, the swift moving higher clouds also reveal a warm light. Just another pleasant day in Sechelt with some new discoveries including a lone duck.
It was just a very ordinary walk in the same Helsinki suburb surroundings, still with patches of ice here and there, but sun already was shining warmer and friendlier than a couple of weeks ago. And then behind a turn of the path opened a view over a little bay, and sunlight fell on the tops of last year dropworts in so marvelous angle that all the scene was flooded with light... I deliberately let the flare come into the photo, because it reveals the feeling from that moment like fairies would be dancing in the branches and chasing the winter away. :-)
A low tide at Meadfoot beach reveals the rocks below as the day begins over Torbay, South Devon, UK.
Another chance at this opportunity with better conditions. The glorious 8247 working NS’s Lombard terminal.
A murder of veils spread a splay watch
a casting eye, for none but he were blind to
Yet, the lull revealed a glimpse,
a torrid affair lost and a journey to find anew
Only the resolved measure of footfalls,
desperately grasped at and clung onto
Carried by each craggy, dank sigh,
would be borne of the legend and sung true.

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.
This bright pink ferry shelter is situated by the river at Warsash.
The ferry itself is based at Hamble on the opposite side of the river and operates between Warsash and Hamble The pilot also keeps an eye out and when he sees passengers near the pink shelter, comes to ferry them across the river.
The shelter is photogenic but not too practical, a look inside revealed a dark interior with nowhere to sit and heaps of pebbles washed in by high tide.
It's not certain when the ferry began plying its trade but local research has dated it back to at least 1493.
The ferry has always carried a maximum of 12 passengers who were originally taken across the river by a ferryman in a small rowing boat (sometimes with their horse swimming along behind!)
Today a one-way trip costs £2.50 per adult.
Same spot handheld waiting for the clouds to roll over the Argus Range from 15 miles away. The light was rapidly changing.
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).
The Great-horned Owl revealed the intensity of its hunt as it left its perch and zeroed in on a prey burrowing under the snow. I shot this frame at about 4.40pm, in early March.
The hunt was not successful. The owl had come out empty-handed. No vole. Just another photo op.

Thank you very much for the visit and comment.
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.
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
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.

These beautiful blue shades on the wings of Heliconius sara are purely iridescence, or structural coloration. The wings need to be at just the right angle to fully reveal these stunning colors.
