Looking up at the under side of a Chinese Dogwood (Cornus kousa) flower. The light was very gentle, and the green tones in the surrounding area felt cool and comfortable. (These are actually not flowers, they are leaf brackets; the flowers themselves are barely visible. Nonetheless, they are thought of as flowers by most.)

Enormous, colorful and definitely one of the most powerful and inspiring landscapes on earth. The Grand Canyon is rightly considered a natural wonder and offers countless opportunities to spend some unforgettable days in life.

Rectangle, square, panoramic? How do you crop an image? Of course, the choice is entirely up to you, the photographer...and quite rightly so. Like most of us bird and wildlife photographers, we always aim to get as close as possible to our beloved subject(s) when out and about in the environment. At times (quite a lot of times actually) our subject(s) are mainly very small in the frame which leads us to crop in on the image for a better finished composition to the piece. However, have you given any thought of maybe cropping your full frames to a 16:9 ratio? I personally really enjoy using this crop as it adds more of the environment for the viewer which is not a bad thing come to think of it?
Gaura is one of my favorite flowers. It is small, delicate and filigran and always moves with the slightest breeze (and disappears from the viewfinder/display). Sometimes it is also called a "floating butterfly flower", and rightly so.
Die Gaura gehört zu meinen Lieblingsblüten. Sie ist klein, zart und filigran und beim kleinesten Windhauch immer in Bewegung (Und verschwindet damit auch aus dem Sucher/Display) Manchmal wird sie auch als "schwebende Schmetterlingsblume bezeichnet, mit Recht.
Another bounty from my trip across the bridge: there were two Swamp Harriers working the area I happended to be in. This one rightly assesed the lighting conditions and gave me that smirk, knowing that it wasn't to be a terribly good shot.

Kauai, known as "The Garden Island" is rightly named. It is so lush and full of a variety of shades of vivid green. Princeville, where this photo was taken, receives 85" of rain per year. However Mount Wai'ale'ale, also on Kauai, receives 450" (more than 38') of rain annually. The record for that spot is 683" (almost 60') .
View of the iconic cool residential apartment block. Bølgen (Danish "The Wave") is located by the waterfront in Vejle, Denmark. It is inspired by the Sydney Opera House by another Danish architect Jørn Utzon and the hilly landscape around Vejle. Each tile-clad wave rises to a height of nine stories and includes 20 individual apartments. It has, rightly I think, been named as a ground-breaking architecture piece in modern times and a significant landmark. Good to see some creative bold courageous architecture. Very impressive.

"Se i migliori mobili volete comprare, da Franco Cozzo dovete andare!" (Literally: If you want to buy the best furniture, you must go to Franco Cozzo's!)
A pic taken this morning of the former shop/warehouse in "Footisgray"of famous Italo Australian furniture retailer Franco Cozzo who specialised in imported Baroque style furniture from Italy. It was very popular with an earlier generation of Italian migrants in Melbourne but due to Cozzo's flamboyant personality reflected in his commercials in Italian, Greek and English on local TV it (and he) also gained something of a cult status beyond the local Italian community.
There is no doubt that Cozzo is rightly considered a highly prominent part of the history of post war migration in Australia and, indeed, of multicultural Melbourne itself.
The mural of Franco Cozzo on the eastern wall of the building in Footscray has sadly been defaced since the shop was closed. It was done by mural and silo artist Heesco (some of you may recall a photo I posted in 2018 of the wonderful silo painting he did in Weethalle in the NSW Riverina).
This brief photoshoot was prompted by watching a quite poignant documentary, Palazzo di Cozzo, on ABCTV the other evening. For Australian viewers, it can be found on ABC iView. For everyone, some background to Franco Cozzo can be found on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco_Cozzo
This seat with its stunning view is on the Pateley Bridge to Wath Road in Nidderdale, North Yorkshire.
It is a place I linger far to long drinking in the view and continually finding new things
Rightly proud of its place within the Dales, Nidderdale is for many the favourite Dale. It truly deserves its status as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with its stunning moorland scenery and tapestry of lush green meadows

It is rightly said that there is nothing perfect in this world but it doesn't mean that we should stop striving for perfection. In fact, if we make a move for perfection we would be able to reach close to it even if not perfect and this would be a great achievement rather than settling for good.
Also, people rejects things & look down at people who lack some expected qualities but every rejected thing is beneficial in another way and each person has unique quality which can be useful in another way. Looking at things and people with positive thoughts will make this world a better place.
The missing diamond in this ring has created a room to add another stone like ruby or emerald or sapphire; it doesn't make it imperfect. With this angle it looks beautiful.

... Our eyes are blind. Only our heart can see rightly..
“The winds and seas, the powers of water and earth and light, all that these do, and all that the beasts and green things do, is well done, and rightly done. All these act within the Equilibrium. From the hurricane and the great whale's sounding to the fall of a dry leaf and the gnat's flight, all they do is done within the balance of the whole. But we, insofar as we have power over the world and over one another, we must learn to do what the leaf and the whale and the wind do of their own nature. We must learn to keep the balance. Having intelligence, we must not act in ignorance. Having choice, we must not act without responsibility.”

" And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye."
- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry -
First he heaved a heavy sigh, which grief wrung To a groan, and then began: “Brother, The world is blind and indeed you come from it. “You who are still alive assign each cause only to the heavens, as though they drew all things along upon their necessary paths. “If that were so, free choice would be denied you, and there would be no justice when one feels joy for doing good or misery for evil. “Yes, the heavens give motion to your inclinations. I don’t say all of them, but, even if I did, You still possess a light to winnow good from evil, “and you have free will. Should it bear the strain in its first struggles with the heavens, then, rightly nurtured, it will conquer all. “To a greater power and a better nature you, free, are subject, and these create the mind in you that the heavens have not in their charge. “Therefore, if the world around you goes astray, in you is the cause and in you let it be sought.”

And when the hour of his departure drew near--
"Ah," said the fox, "I shall cry."
"It is your own fault," said the little prince. "I never wished you any sort of harm; but you wanted me to tame you . . ."
"Yes, that is so," said the fox.
"But now you are going to cry!" said the little prince.
"Yes, that is so," said the fox.
"Then it has done you no good at all!"
"It has done me good," said the fox, "because of the color of the wheat fields." And then he added:
"Go and look again at the roses. You will understand now that yours is unique in all the world. Then come back to say goodbye to me, and I will make you a present of a secret."
The little prince went away, to look again at the roses.
....
And he went back to meet the fox.
"Goodbye," he said.
"Goodbye," said the fox. "And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
"What is essential is invisible to the eye," the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember.
"It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important."
"It is the time I have wasted for my rose--" said the little prince, so that he would be sure to remember.
"Men have forgotten this truth," said the fox. "But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose . . ."
"I am responsible for my rose," the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember.

Tomorrow marks the 100th anniversary of the beginning of one of the most infamous battles in world history....by the end of this battle on the 18th November, over 1 million men had been killed.
This war didn't end all wars...
The red poppy rightly commemorates the losses...the white poppy also does...but asks for Peace.
Iseltwald ist das einzige Dorf am linken Ufer des Brienzersee und wird zurecht als die Perle am Brienzersee bezeichnet. Mit rund 420 Einwohnern gehört das schmucke Fischerdorf zu den kleinen Gemeinden des Kantons Bern. Auf über 23 km2 erstreckt sich aber eine Vielfalt die ihresgleichen sucht: von der idyllischen Fischerbucht bis zu höchsten Berggipfeln mit atemberaubender Aussicht finden sie alles. Die Lebensqualität ist hoch, auch dank der guten Infrastruktur.
Iseltwald est le seul village sur le côté gauche du lac de Brienz et est considéré à juste titre comme la perle du lac.
Avec ses 420 habitants, ce joli petit village de pêcheur est l’une des plus petites communes du canton de Berne. Ses 23km carrés offrent une diversité incomparable : de la baie idyllique aux plus hauts sommets avec des vue à couper le souffle, vous trouverez de merveilleux points de vue. La qualité de vie est élevée grâce à sa bonne infrastructure.
Iseltwald is the only village on the left bank of Lake Brienz and is rightly described as the pearl of Lake Brienz. With around 420 inhabitants, the pretty fishing village is one of the small communities in the canton of Bern. At over 23 km2, however, there is a diversity that is second to none: from the idyllic fishing bay to the highest mountain peaks with breathtaking views, you will find everything. The quality of life is high, also thanks to the good infrastructure.
This was a solitary individual near the pond, if I remember rightly a male. However, I later saw mixed groups of up to a dozen males and females feeding on Betony along several of the woodland rides.
Thanks for viewing and for your faves and comments.
water lily plants to be the pearls of the pool. Hardy water lilies (Nymphaea) are rightly prized for the beauty of their blooms and their heart shaped floating leaves.
The flowers come in a wide range of colours from pale pink through to the darkest of reds, white, yellow and orange. The colour of some alter becoming deeper as they age. All varieties of water lily bloom throughout the summer months. Starting in June the flowers appear in succession through to September.
Water lilies to suit the tiniest of pools up to the largest lake. The smallest dwarf lily can grow in as little as four inches depth of water with a spread of as little as one foot. While the largest can grow in five feet of water and reach five feet across.
Apart from their beauty and lovely scent, water lilies provide much needed shade for fish and their spawn. They help to reduce solar light levels in the pond thus leading to a reduction in the growth of algae

WATCH my three minute YouTube video of footage I captured in New Zealand September 2018
www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GivMMKV4S8
WOW, WOW, WOW, what a place this is. I arrived here with a friend of mine Ed a couple of hours before sunset and a short fifteen minute walk from the car park had us standing on the shoreline of this utterly remarkable iceberg mountain lake.
Oh my word, this is where New Zealand seriously impresses you. As the sun slowly sunk down the mountains behind us and the last throws of light that lit up the peaks of these incredible mountains finally disappeared to be replaced by a billion stars that shone like precious and priceless diamonds, all that remains is you standing there feeling a little emotional and so thankful to be alive witnessing this quite incredible view.
New Zealand for those of you who have yet to visit and experience the breathtaking views for yourself, is quite rightly at the top of the list of countries to visit with a camera. I have had the very good fortune to have visited the country three times now and I honestly cannot wait to return at the start of May 2019 to run a ten day workshop.
All I will say is that if you have ever had a strong desire to fly to the other side of the world and be transported to fairy tale locations, go and DO IT!!! Either with me on a workshop or by yourself. The most important thing is that you experience it. Wait no longer, book the flight and be amazed by what you will see and experience.

At the New Year
We hope for the new season,
Bringing new blossoms
And manifold new joys.
Who suffers on account of Love
Can now live happily,
For She will not escape him!
In Her richness and Her power
Always new and always gentle,
Always gracious in Her ways,
Love sweetens with a recompense
Each new pain as it comes.
How new to my eyes
Is he who serves new
Love With renewed fidelity,
As a novice should rightly do
As soon as Love reveals Herself to him.
Even if he had few friends
That would matter very little
As long as he clings to Love.
For Love offers new gifts:
An entirely new spirit
That renews itself in all,
And Her new touch.
At every moment Love is new
And is renewed each day,
Those who are renewed,
She causes to be reborn
To a goodness which is ever new.
Alas, how can one remain old,
Renouncing Love’s presence,
Old in sadness
And without gain?
For such a one has strayed from the new path
And the newness escapes him,
That newness of a new Love
In the essential love of new lovers.
-Hadewijch I:
Stanzaic Poem VII
The Eastern Screech Owl (Megascops asio) is one of our smaller owls. Cute, is a word you'll hear used to describe it...and rightly so. Combined, eastern and western screech owls can be found over most of the U.S., and the species differ in a few subtle morphological areas. The species were originally identified as separate from one another in the 1980s. Eastern's beaks are typically slightly darker. Their chest banding is usually more vertically oriented. But their calls are perhaps the best way to distinguish them, and it's most certainly the way they identify one another in areas where their ranges overlap!
This mom stood guard in her roost with three owlets in trees nearby!

The beautiful little traditional fishing village of Polperro is rightly considered as one of Cornwall's gems. It is situated on the south-east coast about four miles west of Looe where ancient cottages cling to steep hillsides either side of the small harbour. The village still retains a small fishing industry, but several of the boats now provide trips for visitors during the summer holiday season. The village has galleries featuring work by local artists as well as a number of pubs, restaurants and takeaways. The only downside is the long walk up the hill to the car park plus the cost of parking - £5 for three hours.

Harris is rightly famous for its sandy beaches and dune systems. I found the sand dunes much harder to photograph than I expected. I was told by a friend who knows the islands well that they are quite degraded compared to how they used to be 20 years ago. And, of course, you come across footprints (sometimes your own - be careful where you walk!) everywhere you look. But even when I found a clean section of dunes, I found it very challenging to make pleasing compositions among the random shapes and patterns. This, then, is one of only a few photographs featuring sand dunes that worked for me during my time on the islands. Obviously, I need to come back and have another go!

I know cheery title right?! Well this image I took last Summer by a Canal in Berlin with this miscellaneous piece of rope or thick string hanging over cut branches, which in turn belonged to an already felled tree, but you know what? It really had an effect on me, this melancholy of image of what was left of what was once a life, in whatever format it originally arose. Strangely, I get annoyed when I see trees being chopped down, or natural terrain ripped up for human endeavour.
Still, I am not here to make bold statements or politicise my profile, this is about photography but just now and again, as I am sure you'll all identify, you create an image and it hits you somewhere, it has that effect as I think that every photo as in every art piece in whatever context this may arise, should rightly do.
I hope you like it; I also hope everyone had a great Christmas and looking forward to the weekend before New Years, love to everyone and as always, thank you! :)
I wish this tree was standing on a field and I had better light conditions. Unfortunately, neither was possible.
Nevertheless, I have an urgent need to introduce you to this wonder of nature. This tree, called Swedish oak, is in Bad Elster in Vogtland. It was planted around 1700. It is hard for me to imagine what the tree has already seen. At a height of 1 meter it has a circumference of a grandiose 5 meters and is over 20 meters high. This oak tree is rightly gilded as a natural monument.
I very much hope that it will remain as healthy and vital as it is today for a long time to come. In extreme cases they could become as old as 2000 years (again something I can hardly imagine). So she is still quite young for an oak.
Ich hätte mir gewünscht, dieser Baum würde auf einem Feld stehen und ich hätte bessere Lichtbedingungen gehabt. Beides war leider nicht möglich.
Trotzdem ist es mir ein dringendes Bedürfnis, Euch dieses Wunder der Natur vorzustellen. Dieser Baum, genannt Schwedeneiche, steht in Bad Elster im Vogtland. Er wurde ca. 1700 angepflanzt. Es ist für mich kaum vorstellbar, was der Baum schon alles gesehen hat. Er hat in 1 Meter Höhe einen Umfang von grandiosen 5 Metern und ist über 20 Meter hoch. Völlig zurecht gilt diese Eiche als Naturdenkmal.
Ich hoffe sehr, sie bleibt noch lange so gesund und vital, wie sie heute ist. Im Extremfall könnte sie bis zu 2000 Jahre als werden (wieder etwas, was ich mir kaum vorstellen kann). Für eine Eiche ist sie also immernoch recht jung.

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour ...
Man was made for Joy & Woe
And when this we rightly know
Thro the World we safely go
Joy & Woe are woven fine
A Clothing for the soul divine
Under every grief & pine
Runs a joy with silken twine ...

In these lockdown days, campervans and visitors are rightly discouraged on Skye.

For Macro Mondays "Bottle" theme. This is a redo. My earlier post was rightly removed for not following the rules. Too many beans mucking up the bottle.
The twin cities of Ibla and Ragusa are rightly listed within the UNESCO list. This view was taken from low down below Ragusa and looks across towards Ibla.
This view of the wonderful Nidderdale is taken from the Pateley Bridge to Wath road. In the distance between the trees you can just see Gouthwaite Reservoir.
Rightly proud of its place within the Dales, Nidderdale is for many the favourite Dale. It truly deserves its status as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with its stunning moorland scenery and tapestry of lush green meadows
