"The grandeur of the scene was but softened by the haze that hung over the valley-light as gossamer -and by the clouds that partially dimmed the highest lifts and mountains. This obscurity of vision but increased the awe with which I beheld it, and as I looked, a peculiar exalted sensation seemed to fill my whole being, and I found my eyes in tears with emotion"
Words of Lafayette Houghton Bunnell, after he discovered the beauty of Yosemite Park in March 1851.
Panorama made of five vertical 24mm images, from my trip to Yosemite at the beginning of this year.
I always wanted to capture the beauty and grandeur of this magnificent place covered by a white blanket of snow. For two consecutive years I traveled in the wintertime trying to capture this scene and unfortunately was never able to find snow in the park. With the flurry of crazy weather over the holidays of last year, I thought "this is my chance!" I decided to venture yet again in hopes of this picture and welcomed in the New Year at the Park.
As always, thanks for stopping by and looking, I appreciate your comments and visits.
Thank you for your visit and taking time to comment, fave or invite my photo to your group. Your encouragement is really appreciated.
All photos and textures used are my own, with a final touch of a Topaz filter to soften the whole image.

Thank-you for all the wonderful comments and invites.
We sometimes need to be reminded to soften our responses, attitudes and judgments. An image of a soft flower can help to be such a reminder.

clouds blanket the hills

whether quietly or aloud, I'm grateful for the company here!!
Thank you 💛
Hiding in the shadows in the grass at Hollis Gardens in Lakeland, Florida, were these beautiful little flowers, about the size of a thumb nail. I have softened this image compared to the original upload. [OE]

I thank God for allowing me to be there to admire and capture the beauty of this amazing place. The 31st was a long day of travel flying from Miami, and then driving multiple hours to Yosemite, but I think this enchanted corner made the sacrifice worth it. I hope this panorama can make justice of this wonderful place by the Merced River.
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend ahead, and all the best for this 2016! Thanks for your friendship and support though the years.

A cloud of eiderdown
Draws around me
Softening a sound
Sleepy time, and I lie
With my love by my side
And she's breathing low
And the candle dies
When night comes down
You lock the door
The book falls to the floor
As darkness falls
The waves roll by
The seasons change
The wind is wry
Now wakes the owl
Now sleeps the swan
Behold the dream
The dream is gone
Green fields are calling
It's falling, in a golden door
And deep beneath the ground
The early morning sounds
And I go down
Sleepy time, and I lie
With my love by my side
And she's breathing low
And I rise, like a bird
In the haze, when the first rays
Touch the sky
And the night wings die
-Music: A Pillow of Winds by Pink Floyd
This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Softened. Looking at Redbud through a diffuser filter gives it a softened glow. HMMM!

A softened image showing a woman actually looking before going out into the road - you often see folk walk into the road and then look around my way. Taken in Hertfordshire.
SOOC, softened a little and a bit of a frame...
Thank you so very much for all your kind comments, invitations and faves and appreciate you stopping by!!
(To soften the very hard black tones (see picture in the first comment), I tried something new: I placed the macro of a white linen fabric in PS over the picture and reduced the opacity so that only a raster remained. I partially removed some areas in the layer mask.)
Am Fluss
(Um die sehr harten Schwarztöne (s. Bild im erstern Kommentar) abzumildern, habe ich etwas Neues ausprobiert: das Makro eines weißen Leinenstoffs in PS über das Bild gelegt und die Deckkraft reduziert, so, dass nur noch ein Raster übrigblieb. Partiell habe ich in der Ebenenmaske einige Stellen wieder herausgenommen.)

Another look at this cormorant with his breakfast. He spent quite a while softening up this spiny little sculpin. You can't be too careful!

From my morning walk yesterday in Shubie Park. I just realized I could used picassa2 to try an Orton effect...softened the image and then sharpened it and used "collage" to layer them together...I like it best large: View On Black

My shadow's Shedding skin and I've been picking scabs again. I'm down digging through my old muscles for a clue. I've been crawling on my belly clearing out what could've been. I've been wallowing in my own confused and insecure delusions for a piece to cross me over or a word to guide me in. I wanna feel the changes coming down. I wanna know what I've been hiding in my shadow. Change is coming through my shadow. My shadow's shedding skin I've been picking my scabs again. I've been crawling on my belly clearing out what could've been I've been wallowing in my own chaotic and insecure delusions. I wanna feel the change consume me, feel the outside turning in. I wanna feel the metamorphosis and cleansing I've endured within my shadow. Change is coming. Now is my time. Listen to my muscle memory. Contemplate what I've been clinging to. Forty-six and two ahead of me. I choose to live and to grow, take and give and to move, learn and love and to cry, kill and die and to be paranoid and to lie, hate and fear and to do what it takes to move through. I choose to live and to lie, kill and give and to die, learn and love and to do what it takes to step through. See my shadow changing, stretching up and over me soften this old armor. hoping I can clear the way by stepping through my shadow, coming out the other side. Step into the shadow. Forty six and two are just ahead of me.
Softened a little, a bit of a frame and again, SOOC.

Holly berries are somewhat toxic to humans, though their poisonous properties are overstated and fatalities almost unknown.
They are extremely important food for numerous species of birds and are also eaten by other wild animals.
In the fall and early winter the berries are hard and apparently unpalatable.
After being frozen or frosted several times, the berries soften, and become milder in taste.
During winter storms, birds often take refuge in hollies, which provide shelter, protection from predators (by the spiny leaves) and food.
Most festive!!
I wish you all the very best, and thank you for all your kind words, time, comments, invites, faves and Awards. Very much appreciated. M, (*_*)

In Davos, Switzerland.
In 1907 a flower garden was laid out for the recreation of the patients of the tuberculosis clinic Sanatorium Schatzalp, described in detail in Thomas Mann's novel "Der Zauberberg" (The Magic Mountain). In the meantime it has been extended up the valley to become a botanical garden of international significence.
