Amazing what you find deep in the wild wild woods! Some friends & I enjoyed a fabulous day at Wells House & Gardens annual Food Festival. Lots of delicious food on offer, so a gentle stroll around the woods was the order of the day afterwards.

We drove 10+ hours north-east to Weiser, Idaho to see the totality of the solar eclipse. What an experience!
We scouted around for a good place and decided to camp at the river bed of the Snake River a few miles downstream from Weiser. We could see the moon slip in front of the sun at 10:10am. The surrounding terrain became an eerie place ten minutes before the totality. The temperature dropped. Then at 11:25am it got dark within seconds, quite dark. The totality had begun. Now it was safe to look into the sun without a protective film, and to take off the sun filter from the camera lens. I was super exited, and at the same time very much focused on taking many shots with the new 600 mm long lens.
The sun is 400 times further away than the moon, and by pure luck the moon is 400 times smaller than the sun. Which, at totality means that the two object appear to have the same size. Actually, the moon is 2.7% larger, which allowed us to enjoy the totality for 2 minutes. It also means that the corona around the sun was clearly visible.
These are three photos merged into one. One shortly before the totality, and two during the totality.
The totality is a mystical experience, hard to describe. All I can say is that I recommend to put this on your bucket list if you have not experienced one in person. The totality is totally worth a trip.
I processed soft and balanced HDR photos from three separate RAW exposures, then resized, rotated and merged them.

For today's theme of Earth, Water, Air and Fire my choice was water.
I floated a small smiley face on the surface, and named this image "Happy Water"
HMM everyone.
Love & Peace 😻
Many thanks to everyone who took the time to look, comment, or fav my image this week! "Cheers"
Appreciated!
...I just love this vintage throwback from a different era, one where going to the drive-in was a fun experience...we saw this black 1953 Ford F100, complete with a food tray and drive-in speakers at the Wurstfest car show, and I couldn't resist...I'm still learning about my new toy...lololol.

...woohooooooo...I am on track break...for those of you that don't know, I work at a year-round school...instead of having a three-month break during the summer, I get track breaks throughout the year and work through the summer...I don't go back until November. I hope you're having a fantastic week...I want to thank you for your continued support, my friends, and especially for your friendship, even while I haven’t been around…thank you so very much. :~}

and ANSH scavenger3 festive food……
I promise I won’t eat the jewels
A 2 shot composite... the awning in front of the Ferris wheel obstructs the view from here. I took a shot while the smile was upside down, flipped it vertically and pasted it to the other... erasing the awning to produce this image. Notice the cars on the bottom are upside down...
Love to watch the gondoliers go about their routines.

Where I work we have a patient who comes in weekly for surgery rechecks. He always brings his 7 year old daughter who has become a good friend of mine. :) She tells me a lot of things….and asks me a lot of things….She often brings things to show me, and this week she brought heart-shaped smiley face stickers. There were five colors, but after assessing my outfit, she determined that pink was definitely the best for me! I always have my camera so I took a shot of the two of us so I can give it to her next time she comes in. Then she asked if she could take a picture of me….. and this is the result…. :)
Her heart made my day!

Nadja has lived in this house 12 years the cat door has been there the entire time; not once did she attempt to use it. She could fit always has but she was too scared of tight spaces until senility robbed her of the fear... and us of our sanity. She gets into things like a toddler; worse than a puppy. She could not get enough traction to pull herself fully through the door. The only good thing here is we could pull her out and the bitey end is on the opposite side of the door. Good thing she is cute!

It really was my birthday on 1st April..
Imagine the slagging I got as a nipper!
My therapist, funnily enough, is always asking me the same question ;-)
Good wishes and photo FAVES greatly appreciated....hehehehe.......
(Just because I'd like to get Explored on my birthday ;-))
Sorry guys for not having a close up shot. I took this around 6.30 PM yesterday. Bcoz of not having a tripod was not able to try a sharp and close-up shot.
Nothin' like a smiley face to brighten your day.
As you can see, Astrid, while I might have seen the light in my last upload, I'm already back to my low-life ways today.
