There's nothing else I want to do
Standing next to you
From the start until the end
This springtime sentiment
yes, i climbed a tree to take pictures.
284/365.
Tough on the California wildflowers this year - no rain, lots of dry winds, then inches of rain followed by unseasonably warm temps with some nice dry wind again ... but with some help from my garden hose, some have made it big time. You gotta look at this large to see all the spilled pollen and this bee just rolling in it.
With the warm temperatures that we currently have, and some birds starting to sing again, I remembered this year‘s spring, when I found this Eurasian Tree Sparrow on a still leafless scrub in front of the first green of spring. This year, tree sparrows are struggling significantly in Germany, with a collapse of populations in many areas in the Northwest. The reason is not yet understood, but several adult birds have been found dead sitting on their eggs, so it definitely is more than the usual decline due to habitat loss. I hope you all enjoy this picture and find it as motivation to help tree sparrows and other small birds by letting meadows grow longer, allowing flowering plants to grow and produce seeds and by not using herbicides and pesticides in your garden and around your house.
Het spaarbekken van het Eiland van Dordrecht. Ook een ideale plek voor de kleine watersport.
Helaas wil het trieste verhaal van de Pfoa en Gen-X hier hun boodschap ook verspreiden.
Het spaarbekken waar de hele omgeving zijn drinkwater uit krijgt ligt aan de overzijde van de straat. Recht tegenover DuPont/ Chemours.
De foto is idyllisch maar de ramp is hier compleet!
totally gave up on the 52 weeks project but thats okay, I hate commitment. Anyways its finally springtime here and that makes me so happy, it means flowers and flip-flops and warm weather and I can actually be excited about taking pictures
There was a sea of these plants all over the grass down by the lakeshore. You can see the blue color of Lake Michigan in the background.
I was lying on my belly to get this perspective, of course.
I used my 200-500mm telephoto at full zoom to blur out the background, which despite the f/5.6 aperture, mirrors the look of a much bigger aperture, say an f/1.8!
The vines are now starting to show themselves and the trees are coming into leaf very quickly. We're in the middle of a mini-heatwave with temperatures today about 25/26c and expected to peak on Sunday at 30c. I hope it's equally as gorgeous wherever you are and I wish you all a great weekend!
The title isn't really apt. So nice to be outside at the Denver Botanic Gardens. This and the last two pictures I've posted are evidence that spring is here.
Six images, focus stacked.
The cherry blossoms, pink and white,
Drift gently down, a fleeting delight,
Their beauty is a poignant reminder,
Of life's ephemeral, yet eternal, design.

© Copyright A Pendleton 2010 Dont worry my next few shots wont contain water droplets lol :) but could not resist this one, went out on a shoot today as the weather was wonderful and have some fresh images so will be posting those in a day or two. This shot was of water droplets on the petals of a Daffodil..
I wanted to show ice in a different way - specifically spring ice, which is different from the river ice I've been photographing all winter. This is pond ice, maybe even ditch ice. During the melt-freeze cycle of early spring, large crystal structures form every night, and melt in the next day's warmth. (Currently, at 7 a.m., the temperature sits at -6 Celsius; it should hit +10C by noon.)
I also wanted to process these images slightly differently, and was thinking about this while shooting. Back home, I more or less followed the plan: crop square, convert to monochrome, convert back to RGB, add a blue filter, adjust levels/curves. I was aiming for a metallic look, almost a gunmetal blue. Unlike my reflective river ice shots, there was very little colour in the originals here, so converting to black and white didn't lose anything essential. Instead, the images are all about lines, shapes, textures, and the allocation of space within the frame.
One more to come, tomorrow.
