From this vantage near the terminus of the Little Horse Trail, the famous Red Rocks of Sedona tower over Chicken point and this broader valley in Coconino National Forest.
On a bright but cloudy day the contrasts of Sedona, the red rocks and the green Ponderosa Pines, the blue skies and billowy white clouds, create a picturesque scene. Why share the image in monochrome then? Because, even without the colors, the richness of the textures tells a story of its own, from the jagged, but rigidly horizontal lines on the carved towers of rock, to the millions of rough edges on the trees and plants, to the stretched thin cotton of the clouds above.
Sedona is a place that defies explanation, it is a cacophony of sensory pleasures that share space and time to evoke wondrous emotion in all those who encounter it first-hand.

She didn't like my being close but it was 2 for 1 at the bar (Happy Hour), so she said, "As long as you're paying, I'm staying"-gee, what a deal!

These are growing like this, in a four inch pot. I bought them because of this cuddle they have had going since birth :)
Still seems to be the only green one in my garden. Seen again today sharing space with the few remaining Hummingbirds.
The New Chambers (Neue Kammern), one of the palaces in Sanssouci Palace Park, with a grand display of clouds in the sky and midday sunshine. The palace and sky seem to be sharing space here and angling into each other more or less equally. [SNY01509_lr_2000]
Thank you all for the clicks, comments & faves.
"We who watch birds today embrace a holistic outlook on the world around us. We share spaces, simultaneously natural and artificial, with wildlife. Our human lives are governed by ecological principles. We have blurred the old distinction between subject and object, between the observer and the thing observed.
The birds we watch are possessed of mind and heart, and perhaps even soul and spirit in ways we'd never appreciated.
The bird lover of today proclaims the great truth that we're all in this thing together."

I've often thought that everyone, especially those who may be confined to remaining inside, should have a window with a view of birds nearby. This image is the type I imagine, wishing for all both good health and enjoyment brought by watching avian antics.
This photo was taken quite awhile after sunset. Consequently it was quite noisy and what you might call "soft." Traditional bird photography emphasize sharpness and clarity.
However, the composition is seldom complex or very interesting. In the case of warblers on flowering branches at least the flowers are a secondary point of interest. I think it is the lack of compositional interest that limits the general appreciation of bird photography. People who don't have a particular interest in birds are not big fans.
The same can't be said of fine art bird paintings. There is one painting by a UK painter of a Peregrine Falcon hitting a duck in the sky from a perspective above the scene. There is the duck falling(a splay of feathers), the other ducks, the falcon and the scenery below. Now that is interesting to study.
This photograph communicates a number of things. One is the simple contrast of form and color to be found among the wading species of the marsh. Another is that some species search the same shallows for different prey. They are non-competitive. Also the movement in opposite directions conveys the sense of dynamic nature and the choreography of marsh life.
Any way this is a rationale for taking the time to process a less than high resolution photo. I did narrow the aperture to get the 3 birds generally in focus.
One of my first shots from Podere Belvedere taken the end of April 2019. Such a magical place in the morning. That is, when the other photographers you're sharing space with have their cameras set to silent mode. ;)
So you were thinking of climbing onto my favourite lookout spot think again...stay off of my cloud dude !
These Great Blue Herons do not like to share space too closely !
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.
Have a safe and fabulous day dearest Flickr friends !
On Halloween, the membranes between life, death and the many alternate worlds and planes of existence we share space with are at their thinnest and the horrors of the in-between, as well as many other nasties, are freer to move about and enter our reality.... Be careful out there!
I used to leave the doors unlocked and leave the lights on
I used to stay awake, just counting hours all night long
I had so many empty rooms inside this chateau
Yeah, oh yeah
I'm done with sharing space with people that I don't know
Trading pieces of my heart til I feel shallow
I had so many empty rooms inside this chateau, oh
But ever since I met ya
No vacancy because of you
There's no vacancy, no empty rooms
Got no vacancy ever since I met ya
No vacancy 'cause of you
Used to be that I felt so damn empty
Ever since I met you, no vacancy
Used to be that I felt so damn empty
Ever since I met you, no vacancy
No vacancy, no vacancy
Used to be that I felt so damn empty
Ever since I met you, no vacancy
Used to be that I felt so damn empty
Ever since I met you, no vacancy
No vacancy, no vacancy
I used to be the type to never take a chance, oh
Had so many walls, you'd think I was a castle
I spent so many empty nights with faces I don't know
No matter how large or how small a given space may be there’s always room for colors to share that space. A tree has so much space to share with lots of vivid colors. Look at the colors or shades that Autumn provides us at its peak. A Maple tree is a good example. On a smaller scale look at the most colorful fish in an aquarium. One fish can house several colors within its body. Though many flowers appear to represent basically one color such as a Red Rose, a Yellow Rose etc., this rose caught my attention in that there are no less than two beautiful “Colors Sharing Space” Nature continues to amaze and impress us with miracles (plants, animals and people) that come in many colors yet sharing small spaces. Thanks for viewing my work.
“I think sometimes we need to take a step back and just remember we have no greater right to be here than any other animal.” - David Attenborough
Over the years I have worked hard to build up an urban backyard that can be shared with other animals. We have trees, bushes and flowers that attract lots of birds. The Chicakdees are such a delightful and cheery visitor. Here is one sitting in our Lilac tree which is budding nicely. Not only do I enjoy watching the birds but I enjoy the scents in my garden with Hyacinths in bloom now, Lilacs coming soon and then there will be the Lavender. The rabbit hangs around but stays to himself. My chipmunk is allowing me to pet him when I feed him treats. I am trying to be tolerant of the squirrels who have left my tulip bulbs alone this year! In these times of stay at home orders, there is no place like home in the spring!

This species has expanded its range significantly since it has a preference for suburban areas and man continues to oblige by clearing land and building and helping them to continue to build on their reputation for being an agricultural pest. It is well known for its bullying tactics around backyard feeders, how they proudly strut while feeding on the ground and how they form immense flocks in winter and during migration numbering over 1 million.
For a bird that is a lousy singer they sure perch proudly while they are trying.
They will commonly share space with Red-winged Blackbirds and Brown-headed Cowbirds in open areas and marshy habitats.
This adult bird has descended to the waters edge in early morning for a drink. I believe it may be a male since their iridescent plumage is usually a little brighter than the females.
Black coffee spilled over the chessboard, turning white fields
dark. The game lost it's duality, it's footing, it's rules.
A bunch of black and white strangers, at a loss where they are. And why. Pointless moves change the game into a free for all.
But there is no escaping the chessboard.

From the Washington Trails Association:
Hikers flock to Mount Storm King for that signature shot, standing on a rocky outcropping above Lake Crescent. But it's a grind to get there, and the climb to the summit can be dangerous in bad weather. Luckily, there are several outcroppings about halfway to the top offering similar views. It's still a steep hike to get to them, but at least it's shorter.
Start at the Storm King Ranger Station, on the southeast side of Lake Crescent. Hop on the wide trail that passes in front of the ranger station, and soon pass under Highway 101. Signed for Marymere Falls, the flat trail may lull you into a false sense of security. Make no mistake, your climb will come.
After just a few minutes of hiking (it'll clock in at about a half mile), arrive at huge boulder and a sign propped against it, pointing the way uphill via a 180-degree turn. This is your turnoff for Storm King. You might want to take a few layers off.
Shift it into low gear and begin your climb. Passing first through damp forest, the trail switchbacks steeply before flattening out moderately at a half mile from the turnoff. The forest opens, and becomes drier as you traverse through giant pines. Keep climbing, and you'll notice the forest around you changing. Pines give way (or at least share space) with madronas and manzanitas; hardy, twisted trees and shrubs with reddish bark that add color to the surrounding trunks of massive cedars and hemlocks.
Begin looking for views when the madronas appear. There are several viewpoints, offering peek-a-boo views of both the Barnes Creek valley and the deep blue waters of Lake Crescent. At 1.3 miles, arrive at a shoulder where you have a through-the-trees view of Lake Crescent and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. This is the end of the maintained trail. If you want to continue, the trail does so, but it becomes gradually fainter and rougher, culminating in a climber's trail.
Hikers are aided by ropes just below the end of the climber's trail, but it's quite exposed, and the tread is nearly non-existent up there. Consider carefully if you become uncomfortable on your way up, and don't climb up anything you don't want to climb down.
Extending your trip: Back at the junction with Marymere Falls, turn left and go see the falls before heading back to the trailhead. It's a short hike, and the sweet little loop takes you past not only a gorgeous waterfall, but also wide, quietly burbling Barnes Creek. It's a nice cool down after the beating you got on Storm King.
A wasp moth and a cricket share space. Spotted on a hike from Mui Wo to Pui O, Lantau Island, Hong Kong
So word got around that I was photographing the wood chunks and overnight this motley crew assembled on my studio table requesting that they have their picture taken. It's pretty amazing because while some of the objects share space on the living room shelf, others had to climb down from the top drawer of my dresser and roll their way to the table. In case you're wondering, the objects with holes in them are...well I'll let you guess, the answer is in the tabs. Also, I identified the woods with notes.

"Aphidophagous" Lady Bird Sharing Space with Black Ants, Chaparral Near Rocky Mountain Front Range, Colorado
going to keep it short and sweet. yeah, you laughed.
i’ll say this and all i want back is your smile. nothing more.
because that smile...your laugh...
has been enough this whole time we’ve shared space.
people talk about “safe spaces”.
me? i just needed my space respected.
and you’ve given me that, and so much more.
so when i speak of tomorrows,
i mean ours.
because i just can’t wait until i catch that smirk you try to hide.
-mood-
I take a step forward to sincerely and firmly thank all the people who, in some way, connected with the intention behind
ꜱʜᴇ’ꜱ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏᴍᴇɴᴛ.
This project was not born from pretension. It was born from a genuine search to create a space where we could ᴇᴍʙʀᴀᴄᴇ ᴏɴᴇ ᴀɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀ, ᴇxᴘʀᴇꜱꜱ ᴏᴜʀꜱᴇʟᴠᴇꜱ ꜰʀᴇᴇʟʏ, ᴀɴᴅ ʀᴇᴄᴏɢɴɪᴢᴇ ᴏᴜʀ
ᴠᴜʟɴᴇʀᴀʙɪʟɪᴛʏ.
A search that led me to experiment and learn, with the intention of building something meaningful from both the personal and the collective.
In parallel to this process, I have been part of a training that I am about to complete in my real life.
Without going into those details, I can say that I offered myself as my own experiment: I took the leap, exposed myself, and tried a way of doing things that ᴅᴏᴇꜱ ɴᴏᴛ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ɴᴀᴛᴜʀᴀʟʟʏ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴇ.
I did so knowing that there were aspects I did not fully master. I acted more from ɪɴᴛᴜɪᴛɪᴏɴ ᴛʜᴀɴ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ᴄᴇʀᴛᴀɪɴᴛʏ.
And that intersection—between creative impulse, deep intention, and a shared space—was, above all, ꜱᴛɪᴍᴜʟᴀᴛɪɴɢ, ʙᴜᴛ ᴀʟꜱᴏ ʀᴇᴠᴇᴀʟɪɴɢ ɪɴ ʙᴏᴛʜ ᴅɪʀᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴꜱ.
I am learning to manage communication through these media and to channel it toward an objective or proposal—something connected to my training.
Keeping the essence alive was an exercise in balancing the idea, what I felt, and what I managed to express.
A true breeding ground, a challenge.
If some people felt that the approach blurred their own creative codes, it was never my intention;
I understand it may have been perceived that way, and from a place of honesty, I offer an apology—not for what I did, but for how it may have been interpreted.
Taking risks ᴀʟꜱᴏ ᴍᴇᴀɴꜱ ɴᴏᴛ ᴀʟᴡᴀʏꜱ ʙᴇɪɴɢ ᴜɴᴅᴇʀꜱᴛᴏᴏᴅ ᴀꜱ ᴇxᴘᴇᴄᴛᴇᴅ, especially when diverse perspectives come together and one is in a personal learning process.
ʙᴜᴛ ɪᴛ ʜᴀꜱ ʙᴇᴇɴ ᴡᴏʀᴛʜ ɪᴛ—ᴀɴᴅ ɪᴛ ᴡɪʟʟ ᴄᴏɴᴛɪɴᴜᴇ ᴛᴏ ʙᴇ, ɪ ᴀꜱꜱᴜʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜ, ʟᴀᴅɪᴇꜱ.
I close this cycle with the certainty that growth involves facing discomforts, even our own.
Thanks again to everyone for being part of it, for pausing, observing what I said and did, engaging with the idea, and thus allowing me—and us—to move forward, mistakes and failures included.
A journey that led me to meet ᴀ ᴋɴᴏᴡɴ ᴠᴜʟɴᴇʀᴀʙɪʟɪᴛʏ, ᴡʜɪᴄʜ ᴅᴇᴄɪᴅᴇᴅ ᴡɪᴛʜᴏᴜᴛ ᴀꜱᴋɪɴɢ ᴘᴇʀᴍɪꜱꜱɪᴏɴ ᴛᴏ ʙᴇᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘʀᴏᴛᴀɢᴏɴɪꜱᴛ, ʙᴜᴛ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴀ ᴄʟᴇᴀʀ ᴘᴜʀᴘᴏꜱᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ᴜɴᴇxᴘᴇᴄᴛᴇᴅ ꜱᴛʀᴇɴɢᴛʜ: ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴏᴜʀᴀɢᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴅᴀʀᴇ ᴛᴏ ʟᴇᴀʀɴ, ᴇᴠᴇɴ ᴡʜᴇɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘᴀᴛʜ ɪꜱ ᴄʀᴏꜱꜱᴇᴅ ᴡɪᴛʜᴏᴜᴛ ʜᴀᴠɪɴɢ ᴀ ᴘᴀᴛʜ.
ꜱʜᴇ’ꜱ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏᴍᴇɴᴛ behind ꜱʜᴇ’ꜱ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏᴍᴇɴᴛ. has been nothing other than a ʀᴇᴀʟ ᴀɴᴅ ᴘʀᴏꜰᴏᴜɴᴅ ᴄʜᴀʟʟᴇɴɢᴇ.

A pretty spot into the late afternoon sun along the Gunpowder Falls river in Maryland. Always fun and a challenge to expose these highly dynamic lighting long exposures. Especially when trying to keep my balance on a rock out in the river, sharing space with the tripod and camera ... sometimes not all that much room when kneeling or stooping.
But it is worth it to get the slow flowing river and reflection without any other rocks in the frame.
