Exploring the sand dunes along the shores of Lake Michigan in Michigan City, Indiana. The sunset was a bust, but a day at the beach still beats a day pretty much anywhere else.
Sand Martin - Riparia riparia
The sand martin (Riparia riparia) or European sand martin, bank swallow in the Americas, and collared sand martin in the Indian Subcontinent, is a migratory passerine bird in the swallow family. It has a wide range in summer, embracing practically the whole of Europe and the Mediterranean countries, part of northern Asia and also North America. It winters in eastern and southern Africa, South America and the Indian Subcontinent.
The sand martin is sociable in its nesting habits; from a dozen to many hundred pairs will nest close together, according to available space. The nests are at the end of tunnels of from a few inches to three or four feet in length, bored in sand or gravel. The actual nest is a litter of straw and feathers in a chamber at the end of the burrow; it soon becomes a hotbed of parasites. Four or five white eggs are laid about mid-late May, and a second brood is usual in all but the most northernly breeding sites.

I passed a strange day on Wirral peninsula with weather going through basically three stations: rain, storm, sunshine, biting cold, everything. Here an instance of the sunny period :)
Happy late Textural Tuesday! (been out at the shore all day long)
On a recent photo journey to the Four Corners area we were fortunate to see many Southwestern wonders. Monument Valley was one of the first areas my photo friend and I stopped. We took a couple of tours and learn about the history of the Navajo, as well as seeing the most exquisite scenery.
This was a sunset shot. I have always been reminded to look behind you, this is proof that it's a good practice.
Thanks for looking, and sorry I don't get around as much as I should. Susan

I took this sunrise photograph at Great Sand Dunes National Park - Colorado
It rained at night and in the morning everything was frozen and the dunes were also covered partially with ice. And when the sun came out it was amazing to see how the sun melted the ice.
Dieses Foto habe ich im Great Sand Dunes National Park, in Colorado, gemacht.
Nachts regnete es und morgens war alles mit Eis überzogen - auch die Dünen auf einer Seite. Und als die Sonne rauskam, schmolz sie das Eis langsam auf...ein wunderbares Schauspiel.
Late afternoon hike along the West Beach Trail. On the other side of the sand dune are some smaller dunes, the beach and Lake Michigan.
Started reviewing the unprocessed images from our 2019 Utah trip and will begin to post some of them. These ancient colorful sand dunes are 190 million years old and consist of high-angled cross-bedded sandstone. It's a great place to climb and explore on foot.
I got caught in a bit of a Snow storm half way along Sandboten beach, I took shelter behind some rocks and managed to grab this image of the sand dunes while I waited for the storm to pass. The mountain, Volandstinden is in the background.
