I was hit by a terrible no good splitting headache midday today and had to fight it off with a copious amount of Advil, so needless to say I was not very motivated to shoot today.
Even looking through the viewfinder was causing sharp stabbing pains, so I opted for a very quick shot of this morning glory past it's prime.
Anyway, hope everyone has had a good day.

Contemplating the glittering sapphire colored lake Ibon Tebarray … This was mentally the most challenging day of our Pyrenees trek as it required the crossing of a notoriously difficult pass Col de Tebarray. We hiked up the rocky slopes from Refugio Bachimania past gorgeous blue lakes (Ibon Azul Inferior and Superior) flanked by the golden slopes of numerous peaks that rose in profusion all around. The trail was rocky and sometimes hard to find. This photo is from a smaller pass Cuello de Infierno, with the lovely Ibon Tebarray surrounded by the Picos de Infierno to the left and Pico de Tebarray straight ahead. The strong gusty winds made it almost impossible to hold the (iPhone) camera steady, but we also managed to have some lunch sheltering behind a large rock. This was but a prelude to the most challenging pass crossing. You can see the trail snaking onto the boulder strewn scree slopes on the right, and then it ends abruptly below the pass (a whitish gash below a notch on the right of the triangular peak). The crossing of Col de Tebarray involved climbing / scrambling up a steep, almost vertical rocky channel to reach the windy heights of the narrow Col and then a ridiculously steep downhill on a “nasty” gully 20-30m deep. It was difficult but did not feel too unsafe. The trail on the other side was a steep descent through scree before finally reaching firmer ground and greener valleys and then a long way to the welcome shelter of refugio Respomuso.
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

It was one of those, 'just-walking along-and-the-bird-flew-towards-me-and-stopped-right-in-front' moments. :)
This small and beautiful beach is near Bermagui in New South Wales. The rock formation (if you zoom in) does look like a camel sitting down. It was identified and named by Bass and Flinders during the first mapping of the coastline of the colony of New South Wales. You can see why they call this the Sapphire Coast.
I ventured out on our first morning on St. Thomas to Sapphire beach to enjoy the sunrise. There were so many clouds I wasn't sure I'd see much of anything. As it turned out, this ended up being a rather nice sunrise, perhaps the nicest of the entire week!
Sapphire Pool is a feast of color. This is another thermal feature in Biscuit Basin and is known for its amazing deep blue color. I found the gold and orange rim just as interesting. The pool is over 200 F degrees and seems peaceful now, but in 1959 an earthquake turned the pool into a huge geyser that obliterated the biscuit-like rock formations that gave the basin its name. By 1968 all eruptions had ceased and the pool returned to its quiet beauty.

Sea fishing in the UK during spring and more specifically during early spring can produce little yield due to the fact that a huge variety of winter species will have moved into offshore waters and will not return until summer.
During the intervening period it presents boat owners the opportunity to bring their vessels onto the beach where they can undertake vital maintenance repairs and to ensure that their vessels are seaworthy for the upcoming season which will most likely take them into the fishing fields of the North Sea.
One such vessel Sapphire DR161 is on the beach at Walmer, Deal where she is undergoing her scheduled maintenance program.

Milkyway over Alvord Desert and the Steen Mountains the wind was howling so hard the poles on the right side of the tent were permanently bent none the less I really wanted this shot fabulous place to spend the weekend
Infinity focus at last and what an effort. Shot about twenty frames and this was the only keeper; cropped to improve composition but at least it's sharp. The other shots looked OK in the viewfinder and focus peaking was doing its thing, but there was very little time between first view on the laptop and being transferred to the bin. Just my ineptitude in fine tuning the lens position; more practice to follow.

Whenever I dress cool,
My parents put up a fight
And if I’m a hotshot,
Mom will cut hair at night
In the morning I’m sure of my identity
I scream Mom and Dad
Why can't I be who I wanna be?
I just wanna be myself,
And I want you to love me for who I am
I just wanna be myself,
And I want you to know, I am my Hair
I’ve had enough
This is my prayer
That I’ll die living just as free as my hair
I’ve had enough
I’m not a freak
I must keep fighting to stay cool on the streets
I’ve had enough, enough, enough
And this is my prayer, I swear
I’m as free as my hair
Sometimes I want to rock on some highlights
Just because
I want my friend to think that I am dynamite
And on party, roxy, high school dance
I got my bangs too hard
That I don't stand a chance
A chance
I just wanna be myself,
And I want you to love me for who I am
I just wanna be myself,
And I want you to know, I am my Hair

Thank you for looking!
I decided to try using that liquify tool in PS today, since two friends now have told me it's a good tool to use for these things...I think I did it better this round, lol. Either way, I REALLY like the end result of this. YAY! \o/
Star Sapphire is damn impossible to make as a purist fig. Trust me, I tried for like five hours. This is the best thing that came out of it and . . . eehhhh I'm not quite sold.
How about you guys? Thoughts?

Duranta plants are a favorite of butterflies and bees. This one is growing in a tree form with beautiful cascading branches filled with blooms. Here a gulf fritillary is getting nectar and they love posing for the camera.
