After spending the last 6 days shooting nightscapes with Wayne Pinkston we managed to get to Mono Lake to shoot a few panoramas. We had to find a location far away from the south tufas because being a new moon and on a saturday night the main area was a zoo, kids running around with flashlights photographers stumbling around in every direction. It was kinda like drunk disneyland, Hehe.

Spending time at the beach is so rewarding not only photographically speaking but spiritual in some ways as well. I noticed this coin operated telescope on Newport Pier, It costs a quarter and is the same telescope my dad held me up to look through when I was a little kid. It was nice to recall a memory buried behind all the other photoshop stuff giving my brain a wedgie. :)

Made by The Sea Coast Corporation, it was purchased by the city of newport beach to encourage activity on the pier.

Spending a few hours watching the antics of these Burrowing Owlets in Cape Coral was most definitely one of the highlights of our recent trip to Florida. Here two of them seem to be forming an orderly queue waiting for Mum (or is it Dad?) to serve breakfast!

As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.

The yellow billed cuckoos are a fascinating little bird and they love spen ding time together sitting close together on a branch. It brought a smile to my face and I could not help but think they are certainly conserving space. They could not be closer !! Fun to see as they fly about the farms in the Campos !

Wishing you a lovely and blessed evening !

Spending time in the Gods' Garden.

After spending a few hours on Mormon Row to catch sunrise, I drove a bit farther back along Antelope Flats Road and hiked out onto the prairie to capture this image of a bison leading his gang (that's really what they're called) across the flat, and away from the areas where tourists usually inhabit during the day.

The gang was moving pretty fast, not stopping much to forage, so I wasn't able to make an image of them directly in front of the iconic Cathedral Group. After seeing this movement, I walked back to my Jeep and noticed two isolated bison across the road. In probably my riskiest move of the entire trip, I hiked to within about 75 yards of those two, but was unable to catch a clean image, as they kept in pretty tall brush, and repeatedly laid down. There was no iconic background from my vantage, as the mountains were at my back. Figuring I had a pretty good day, I decided not to press my luck further and returned to the Jeep in search of more landscape images.

**** “I wish you joy. To spend life's fleeting days mid joy that never meets an evil hour is to be blessed beyond compare.”

― Euripides, Electra

I have no belief in any sort of extra terrestrial paradise so will happily take my moments of perfection on this earth while I am here. This was a perfect day In Ravenna the morning looking at masterpieces of European and Byzantine art . The afternoon sharing good food and chilled wine with Mary under a canopy in this most beautiful Piazza . We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary .The sky was a deep blue that brought out he colours and shapes of the Piazza del Popolo buildings . It will not last for eternity but it is the transience of the moment that creates memories for life .

THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH.

ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED

Yayyy!!! Good morning!!!

Let's spend it with a smile happily this week ( *´꒳`*)੭⁾⁾💝

We spend our lives waiting for something to happen and the only thing that happens is life.

Contraluz en la playa del Palo- Málaga.

Spending a vacation week with the "kids" and grandkids, my schedule shifted and I found myself up before sunrise every morning. The skies and clouds at Lanikai Beach were often so dramatic with the sunrise, sunset, rain and rainbows.

After spending hour at dam for nice sunset, the things did not work out, so finally left, as i was driving away, my eyes caught the glimpse of bright blue light in sky, so pulled over and took this shot. I think the wait and persistence paid off!

With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

I didn't spend much time in the city but I did want to try a pano from Pier 14 and Pier 7. It was a very rainy day. The rain finally subsided for about an hour and then started right after I got this. It was a very wet, windy and cold walk back to my hotel. This is the new boundary wrap pano feature in LRCC. If the weather had been better I am sure a lot more people would have been on the pier so maybe it was just as well that the weather wasn't that great.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

After spending some time scouting The Queen's Garden Loop Trail on my 2nd day, I returned later that evening and ran across this unique looking tree and it reminded me of the photos i've seen of the old gnarled tree in Schulman Grove in the Bristlecone Forest, which still sits on my bucket list. This one turned out a bit grainy even though I used some light panels and ISO 1600 to minimize the noise but I thought it still looked interesting. I still have a lot to learn and this is part of the road to MW nirvana which still eludes me. I suspect it's the fact that I have a crop sensor camera when I really should be using a Full Frame for this kind of photography, or it could be operator malfunction and inexperience. I probably won't know until I upgrade, I'm holding out for the 6D Mrk II which should be out spring 2016. :)

Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my photos and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great week ahead everyone :)

Music

Just look at my face

Oh, I've come a long way

From that bitter sound

When you know what you know

When you feel what you feel

Gives me chills through my heart

Oh, I feel so good inside

Oh, I feel so free

With you by my side

Beautiful (man), oh babe

Spend some time with me

Help me breathe

Spending time at the Lost Dutchman (The Superstitions Mountains)

I always love it when I get a new car by C.H.C (Cindy Henusaki Custom Cars). This one is called Samantha and it is totally my style. I hope I can fit all my packages in there.

After spending quite a few wonderful minutes in this dramatic landscape getting beautiful sunrise shots, I couldn't resist walking down the slopes to catch the sunlight through the holes in the pinnacles.

Can you please crawl out your window is a. Bob Dylan song sung by Wilko Johnson and Roger Daltrey on my playlist. I think the generally wild and windy week had made these special moments just dazzle.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜 💕💕💕

NECR 610 spends the weekend without a crew in Willimantic at the crew office with a pair of blue and golds up front.

Sea otters spend the majority of their day taking it easy, resting by floating on their backs. Groups or "rafts" of sea otters congregate in calm, quiet waters. The highest number of sea otters recorded in such a raft totaled over two thousand animals - that would have been quite a sight to see!

This one would float peacefully, stretch a bit and preen, then resume the "position." Sounds like a great way to spend a lazy, Friday afternoon!

Have a blessed weekend! Thank you so much for your views and comments! They are greatly appreciated!

Yesterday I spend many hours on the beach. The sunset had been spectacular for many days now, and finally I was able to be there. There will be several pictures from this session in the days to come. This was one of the first pictures and the chopper and the ship made a great collection. Rescue at sea. , lighthouses and chopper... You get the picture:-)

I have to ask my Flickr Friends what sense does it make in spending this vast amount of money on politics when we need it for life globally and here in the USA whether it be food, drink, health, climate change and war amongst other things? Are all the dollars really worth it? Can democracy really be bought? How much difference do the dollars actually make?

HSS 😊😊😍

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️

Still spending most of my shooting time focused on Barred Owls, and most of my weekend was spent observing this individual who I found on Friday. It seems to spend most of the time hunting a small field, and is more tolerable to humans than most of the other birds I've encountered recently. Watching it hunt on Saturday during the snow was a dream experience for me, and was very lucky to capture this one sharp frame in this sequence.

After spending time investigating Roberts Creek, I drove along the coastal road and found the Roberts Creek Provincial Park. This entire area attracts a good deal of tourism in the summer so this time of year finds those same places somewhat empty of people. Except for one other person, this place was mine to play in.

After many angles, and numerous shots, this is the image that was in my mind. The sweeping stone stairs on a hill had drawn my attention, with the carpet of Autumn leaves laying undisturbed. Their vivid colors were in stark contrast to the grey stairs, while the fence and green foliage would support them in the background. I wanted to exaggerate the stairs and how they swept across the view so getting close with a wide angle lens was necessary. It was a fun afternoon with the time needed to find what lay behind the camera.

After spending some time doing long exposures on our one and only morning at the Grundlsee it was already pretty bright and I thought about going back to our room, but luckily I did not. I still walked around and took a few snapshots and as I packed my gear the sun all of a sudden peaked above the mountains. I quickly took my camera out of my bag and decided to take some images without the tripod since setting up the tripod would have taken too long. In hindsight, it would have been nice to take a panorama, but since I didn't expect this to happen I just had a single image which I cropped to 2:1. Anyway, I really like the colors, the sunstar and the cute little duck :) Hope you like it too!

Spending lots of time with the hummers in my yard as I recover from surgery, They have gotten used to me now and don't seem to mind the camera.

Spending a few nights at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, Michigan, in the middle of Lake Huron was on our bucket list. Just before breakfast one morning I found myself alone on the front porch and the Mackinac Bridge lighted by the rising sun. The bridge, about 5 miles in length, is about five miles from the porch and lighted by the morning sun.

Grand Hotel’s front porch – the longest porch in the world at 660 feet – bestows upon its guests all the elements of a relaxing vacation – a lovely setting to sit and enjoy the passing of the day and the perfect meeting spot to gather with family and friends.

Perched on the western bluff of Mackinac Island, high above the Straits of Mackinac, the porch – a three-story veranda that extends the length of the hotel – is a majestic platform for guests to view the splendors of Mackinac Island – from the colorful, well-kept gardens below to the Mighty Mackinac Bridge in the distance.

In the early 1890s Grand Hotel’s Front Porch became the principal meeting place for all of Mackinac Island, as well as a promenade for the elderly and a “flirtation walk” for island romantics. During the early 1900s people would choose to gather on the porch and in the hotel Parlor to pass time and discuss current events.

Grand Hotel front porch is lined with red geraniums in 238 wooden flower boxes hand-crafted by master craftsman Don “Duck” Andress.

I am still learning the proper processing of milky way, I consider this as a work in progress.

Linus spends a lot of time outdoors and hides somewhere under the plants. His camouflage isn't as good as Fynn's or Sethi's but sometimes it's still not easy to find him. Today I had a vet appointment for Fynn and wanted to take Linus with me because he has some ugly fur mats which I wanted the vet to remove (Linus hates any contact with a brush or comb). It didn't work out as planned, though, because Linus was nowhere to be found, Fynn and I left the house alone. When we returned home, Linus sat on the terrace, all innocent but slightly too pleased with himself for my taste.

Sorry for not being very present on Flick at the moment. I have a pinched nerve in my neck and can hardly move. It won't be possible for me to catch up with all of your photos because the pinched nerve causes a terrible headache and I can't look at a computer screen for long.

Spend an hour in peace here and the world will seem a better place.

Spending time at home means digging into the closet and pulling out all of those old classics like Sorry, Trouble, Kerplunk, and of course Lite-Brite!
