Symphyotrichum laeve (Smooth blue aster)
Symphyotrichum laeve (formerly Aster laevis) is a flowering plant native to Canada and the United States.
The flower heads are arranged in clusters (panicles). Each flower head has 13 to 23 ray florets with pale to dark blue or purple petals (laminae), and 19 to 33 disc florets that start out yellow and eventually turn purplish-red. The whole flowerhead measures 13 to 25 millimeters (1⁄2 to 1 in) across.
Created on my phone, slow shutter and edited on Photoshop - sometimes you need to nod your head towards the tech wizards who make the photography experience so much easier.
Lake Wanaka, South Island, New Zealand, 2019
It is a moment in time, a fraction of our lives, that we should stand still and reflect. I should train myself to do that more often...
75 second exposure at the Shut-Ins. Funny how that water smooths out, but those stubborn rocks just don't budge . . . . . . . .
It looked as if 4km (2.5 miles) long arm of LIGO Hanford Observatory melds into the distant cliff along the Columbia River.

More rocks, bridges, and fog. Taken on what turned out to be a beautiful day in southern New England. Added split tone via a Lightroom profile, and a touch of grain to help hide subtle but annoying Flickr banding.

The evening I took my trip to Dunluce the Atlantic was very rough, I had to keep a close eye on the waves from this rock I was standing on. I like how the long exposure completely changes this scene.

European tree frogs are small; males range from 32–43 mm (1.3–1.7 in) in length, and females range from 40–50 mm (1.6–2.0 in) in length. They are slender, with long legs. Their dorsal skin is smooth, while their ventral skin is granular. Their dorsal skin can be green, gray, or tan depending on the temperature, humidity, or their mood. Their ventral skin is a whitish color, and the dorsal and ventral skin is separated by a dark brown lateral stripe from the eyes to the groin. Females have white throats, while males have golden brown throats with large (folded) vocal sacs. The head of H. arborea is rounded, the lip drops strongly, the pupil has the shape of a horizontal ellipse, and the tympanum is clearly recognizable. The discs on the frog's toes, which it uses to climb trees and hedges, is a characteristic feature of H. arborea . Like other frogs, their hind legs are much larger and stronger than the fore legs, enabling the frogs to jump rapidly.

Psalm 55:21 “His talk is smooth as butter, yet war is in his heart; his words are more soothing than oil, yet they are drawn swords.”
In order to rile up the troops after purchasing the Delaware & Hudson, Canadian Pacific reached out to the employees and their families by running "picnic trains". This one being the first of such running sported two freshly painted MLW C242's ran between Binghamton, NY and Oneaonta to the "railroad park" is witnessed through Bainbridge, NY. At Oneonta they met a picnic train from Albany that sported D&H painted geeps. A gathering of friends and co-workers that normally would see each other when just passing on the rails. This was a fine gesture by the new owners.
