This was taken at Deception Pass in Washington. I've always enjoyed B&W photos with some thing high lighted and never really knew how to do it until now. This is really the first one that I did right, from Poulsbo Marina which was just playing with colors. I hope all of you enjoy and I'm sure I'll change this picture a few times to correct items I see. Thanks!!

I found this going through some old pictures and I found it was bracketed which at that time I had no idea I could make an HDR photo out of that.

a view of Mount Haynes from the shores of the Madison River in Yellowstone National Park.

As always, thanks so much for stopping by.

It was lovely to visit Wilk's Water at Odiham today and catch up with the cygnets I photographed when they were tiny. The scene with the weeping willows and dark reflections was lovely to admire while keeping out of the sun.

The Netherlands is well known for its windmills. Most of these iconic structures situated along the edge of polders are actually windpumps, designed to drain the land. These are particularly important as much of the country lies below sea level.

Der Antornosee ist ein idyllischer See auf 1866 m ü. M., eingebettet zwischen grünen, jahrhundertealten Wälder und erhabenen Bergen. Den See, der zu einem wichtigen Naturgebiet gehört, erreicht man über die Straße, die von Misurina zu den Drei Zinnen führt.

Camino de agua y hojas

se vuelve en el otoño

tu cauce y tu correr.

Recorrer esta vereda

satisface a quien se toma

su tiempo para descansar

la mirada entre colores

prestos a desvanecer y volar.

El sol que todo lo anima

sabe sentirse feliz

entre hojas y entre agua

jugando con luz y reflejos

ante ese tu lento fluir.

Anímate, da un paseo,

y toma el otoño en tus ojos,

lentamente y sin prisas,

como el agua cuando pasa

entre hojas que se van.

Fausto Papetti - Hojas muertas.

Isla del Sol is the biggest island in Lake Titicaca on the Bolivian side. As we walked up the hill on the south side of the island in the village Yumani, we saw this man soaking up the sun just before sunset.

In my neighborhood....the days are still balmy, and this sugar maple is at its most beautiful...

I'm spending as much time outside as possible; biking, walking, hiking....it feels good to feel good after a summer of knee/broken toe problems...slows one down...but no more!

I think I need a motorcycle to make up for lost time...;)

We're going photo shooting this weekend, southeastern Minnesota, a day trip..

Thanks for stopping by...hoping all is well with you; enjoy your week...Pat...xo

There is almost no snow in Austria now. This image shows how it should be and how it used to be.

Merry Christmas and most importantly peace to all of you!

A view of Whistler BC's Lost Lake. Actually it wasn't too hard for Karen and I to find it. Sure was peaceful and idyllic as we walked around this lovely lake.

2016 has been an interesting, and challenging year. For many reasons I haven't been able to get out image hunting. Finally, today I'm heading out. First for a long overdue visit with family in Idaho than some shooting in a favorite place, the Sawtooths and along Lolo Pass as I return home. For some reason I can't quit grinning.....

Have a wonderful couple weeks. I sure plan to.

Thanks for taking a look and for any comments, faves or suggestions.

So horrified to hear the terrible news coming from Belgium. My thoughts are with the people of Brussels. Very hard to make sense of all this insanity!
