There's an old saying that when cows lay down it's going to rain. Fortunately, those lying down got it wrong today - HFF!

I could see patches of orange from the side of the road far in the distance and so I pulled over. I discovered a trailhead grabbed my and started descending downward along the winding steep trail. Further and further I kept going wondering what was around the corner...

Can you feel it, Now that Spring has come?
That it's time to live in the scattered sun.

It’s the end of the season. It used to be full of flowers, but now, this is what remains from the water lily pond – discolored leaves and needles from the nearby pine trees.
We avoided all the rain showers on our drive up Trail Ridge Road, but we could see them.
Happy Monochrome Wednesday! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

Just after dawn at Llandudno Pier, this has been on my list to do for seemingly forever but it never seems to fall right for me either with weather or tide times, or a combination of both on a day when I'm free.
As it happens this day I had been shooting the sunrise at Talacre (see last but one image) and instead of heading inland as planned I decided to visit here totally ad hoc as the tidal conditions looked promising although it was raining on and off.
Upon arrival the rain had stopped and the tide was heading out but still plenty of time to get down onto the beach, get set up low and get the sea surrounding the barnacle covered rocks with the cloud cover preventing any harsh light, giving this very tranquil looking scene with the old Victorian Pier stretching out through it. I managed 2 shots I really liked here this morning so well worth the diversion, there is a myriad of compositions to be had here I'll definitely be coming back here again.

Continuing to photograph flowers from my Mother's Day bouquet. These caught my eye as they'd fallen off and were scattered all over my photography table so I re-arranged them a bit to make a better composition.
Stay safe and well everyone.
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
Beautiful red, orange and yellow autumn maples covering the ground. Many trees have already lost most of their leaves but there are still some areas with lots of color still.
A wide view of the previous shot. It's hard to stop clicking when presented with such a wonderful landscape. I wonder if they'd let me live in a shed on top of that hill. I'd be no trouble.
CRETE
KNOSSOSKnossos (alternative spellings Knossus, Cnossus, Greek Κνωσός, pronounced [knoˈsos]) is the largest Bronze Age archaeological site on Crete and considered as Europe's oldest city.
The name Knossos survives from ancient Greek references to the major city of Crete. The identification of Knossos with the Bronze Age site is supported by tradition and by the Roman coins that were scattered over the fields surrounding the pre-excavation site, then a large mound named Kephala Hill, elevation 85 m (279 ft) from current sea level. Many of them were inscribed with Knosion or Knos on the obverse and an image of a Minotaur or Labyrinth on the reverse, both symbols deriving from the myth of King Minos, supposed to have reigned from Knossos.[5] The coins came from the Roman settlement of Colonia Julia Nobilis Cnossus, a Roman colony placed just to the north of, and politically including, Kephala. The Romans believed they had colonized Knossos.[6] After excavation, the discovery of the Linear B tablets, and the decipherment of Linear B by Michael Ventris, the identification was confirmed by the reference to an administrative center, ko-no-so, Mycenaean Greek Knosos, undoubtedly the palace complex. The palace was built over a Neolithic town. During the Bronze Age, the town surrounded the hill on which the palace was built.
The palace was excavated and partially restored under the direction of Arthur Evans in the earliest years of the 20th century. Its size far exceeded his original expectations, as did the discovery of two ancient scripts, which he termed Linear A and Linear B, to distinguish their writing from the pictographs also present. From the layering of the palace Evans developed de novo an archaeological concept of the civilization that used it, which he called Minoan, following the pre-existing custom of labelling all objects from the location Minoan.
The site of Knossos was discovered in 1878 by Minos Kalokairinos. The excavations in Knossos began in 1900 by the English archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans (1851–1941) and his team, and continued for 35 years. Its size far exceeded his original expectations, as did the discovery of two ancient scripts, which he termed Linear A and Linear B, to distinguish their writing from the pictographs also present. From the layering of the palace Evans developed an archaeological concept of the civilization that used it, which he called Minoan, following the pre-existing custom of labelling all objects from the location Minoan.
Since their discovery, the ruins have undergone a history of their own, from excavation by renowned archaeologists, education and tourism, to occupation as a headquarters by governments warring over the control of the eastern Mediterranean in two world wars. This site history is to be distinguished from the ancient.
