Another autumn fog rolled in off Lake Ontario and over lower downtown Toronto today. Processed for effect in PS with warming filter.

This large swallow has a brick-red rump and underparts and dark blue upperparts. It is told from other swallows by the metallic-blue patches on the side of the head that cover the ears and eyes. It is resident near the equator and is a wet season breeding visitor in the north and south of its range. The Rufous-chested Swallow flies strongly, with frequent swoops and changes of course, over sparse woodland, grassland, wetland edges, and other open habitats. In flight it differs from similar swallows by the color of the forward part of the underwing: buffy in Rufous-chested Swallow and white in Mosque Swallow, which also has a pale throat.

A little break from all the wabi-sabi, I shot this white amaryllis back in December at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, a little west of Philly, with it's nearly five acres of botanicals inside under glass, which is where I took this picture; you may have seen the five out of focus images of tree lights I took from the outside. A spectacular specimen discovered at a spectacular place.

Each year is different, so the date of maximum colour is never the same

Mind you, the birds have beaten you to it - so take a cloth

Cold weather causing smoke along the St. Lawrence river in Ville LaSalle.

still prefer natural light, but I do love the ability to include backgrounds I otherwise couldn't without the extra light. we've been coming here together for the 12+ years we've been together. I have bw film shots of her in the same place from when I was just getting back into photography.

One fine Autumn day at a time when we could wander free

Photo taken on April 16th, 2016. A 4-5 hour hike.

(Some parts of the route were tricky and quite dangerous. All the group had great fun!).

 

Today's outing with the Environmental Cultural Club of Attica www.peripolo.gr, was to Mount Hymettos.

The day started cold with snow - further snow showers fed through, clearing to another cool night

A decent fall of snow at last although no sun despite some blue sky now and then

It was peaceful and beautiful to be out there

It is a few years since I've been - I can feel a trip coming on this year - hopefully

Quite quiet for the time of year

Sublime light and Spring colours - lucky me

After the grey and wet of yesterday, I took advantage of today's sun

Still finding shots from the last Scotland trip

Not many tourists about - two cars came past but stopped to ask if they would like me to wait whilst I took my photos - Told them I had a clone tool for that sort of thing

Popped into Wensleydale again tonight and manged just a few minutes of light before the clouds rolled in

You have to be tough to live here

LIMNI - ΛΙΜΝΗ

Limni, on the island of Evia, is a small port, beach and tourist resort, which is beautiful the whole year round. It is located 80 km NW of Chalkida and about 150 km from Athens.

 

The island of Evia lies along the Eastern coast of Central Greece, and is accessible to the mainland via two bridges, an old wooden bridge and a contemporary suspension bridge. There are also frequent ferries to several parts of the island. It is 175 km long and is the second largest island in Greece, and the third largest in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Had a walk in Wensleydale - more akin to Autumn!

I had to do someone a favour - the nightmare drive to Leeds Airport - a carefully blended mix of Whacky Races and the usual Panal Traffic Jam. Rather than come back home back through that, I went to the Chevin, then via Otley to Almscliff Crag

Fields are sown and/or growing, trees are changing colour. Still pleasant out there but this is the preparation phase for Winter

A visit on a grey day at high tide

A scene I've enjoyed many times over the years
