Fall River in Rocky Mountain NP, Colorado is a beautiful place to visit in Spring.
Of course, Spring at this elevation comes a bit later than the vernal equinox. If one were to visit in March, it's unlikely you would be able to get anywhere near this part of the river, just downstream from Chasm Falls, as the snow would still be pretty deep, and the road impassable.
It's spectacular, with ideal hiking weather in early June!
Flower of Marmelo...Portuguese name for quince. The large yellow fruit is made into marmelado, a thick jelly.
This weekend my hiking trip took me a few kilometers up River Weser than my home area in and around the pittoreske town of Rinteln. Similar to the previous two weeks the weather was mild, nature was green and no sign of Winter. Rinteln, Lower Saxony, Germany
Taking a little spring break from my city shots to post everything blooming right now...I just couldn't resist!! :))
A Spring flower in our garden this afternoon, met another shot of Winter. The old man isn't letting go easy this year!
A quick grab shot as I walked home from the grocery store and the sky just suddenly opened up with a downpour while the harsh sun light was still out.
HERRÖSKATAN NATURSKYDDSOMRÅDE
På området finns promenadvägar, rastplatser med bord och bänkar, fågeltorn samt intressanta ruiner efter befästningar från de två världskrigen. Floran och faunan är artrik. Möjlighet till bad både på uddens östra och västra sida.
Being the Spring equinox (well here in the Southern Hemisphere anyway) I thought some florally pastely whimsy might be appropriate. Hit 30C today, yay! Time to start swimming on the beaches instead of just photographing them.
Fun fact about the equinox. As you know it marks the tipping point from days being shorter than nights, to days becoming longer than nights. BUT .., days and nights are equal in length (each 12 h) for the southern hemisphere two or three days before the technical spring equinox and most of Australia sees about 12 h 8 min. of daylight on the spring equinox itself. This is because our atmosphere refracts sunlight so that we can see the Sun just before it's risen in line with the horizon and just after it's passed below the level of the horizon at sunset. Seeing the sun before it rises! Science amazes , and confuses me!
Happy equinox wherever you are in this fascinating world of ours :)
It is always nice to see a little color during the "dog days" of summer ... right. :-)
I certainly hope all of you enjoy what is left of our summer. I know I am trying to. :-)
I go slow. Some things are happening right now, my upload freq went low, but it never stops. Truly I'm looking forward to go around some trees soon again. And to get time (and mood) to post them. I rised the resolution of my new uploaded photos, why not...
When in Banff I recommend a visit and tour of this iconic "Castle of the Rockies." Amazing inside and out. With the Bow River flowing below and the river's falls just to the right in this frame and Mt. Rundle rising majestically across the valley there is much to admire around it as well.
"The hotel opened in 1888 by the Canadian Pacific Railway, as one of the earliest of Canada's grand railway hotels. The original wooden structure burnt down in 1926, the replacement structure was made up of a steel frame, clad in Rundle limestone.
The Banff Springs Hotel includes 757 guest rooms and suites spread throughout the hotel property plus 12 restaurants."

A large open area in the cypress swamp is spring fed which gives movement to what should be stagnant standing water. It's a peaceful place to ponder life or fantasy while gazing at the reflections in the water.
The spring is almost gone now, the new fresh green and moist atmosphere is unevitably replaced by humid warm, sick drying green and tons of insects. Yep, the summer is coming. Not a good season for the forest photography. But it is neccesary for life as every other season. And the walkies are still superb!
