Danish West Coast, Jylland, Denmark

We planted lots of tulip bulbs in late Autumn last year and they're currently showing off their red (and yellow) beauty. The yellows in the background of the photo are dandelions (or something similar to them, possibly 'Cats Ears'?). Whatever they are they're providing a carpet of yellow which is so pleasing to the eye. I didn't 'up the ante' with the red of the tulip in pp. That's exactly how deep and rich the red is in real life. Of course, I love it to bits. 😊 ❤️🌷

"On Stage" -

Blinded by the light.

Fearful of the light.

Swept up among the light.

Humbled by the light.

Fearful no more.

Every day is a new day.

Everything to be invented,

everything to live,

all to enjoy.

The dawn puts him on the stage of your life,

and leaves.

The new day is yours, it belongs to you,

No one can take it away from you.

You can do whatever you want with it.

You can make it a masterpiece or a fiasco.

Because you are the subjectist...

Because you're the director...

Because you are the protagonist

For whatever reason this cavernous underground space seemed like it should be the stage for an epic rock opera. Lower Randolph and Columbus, Chicago, Illinois.

Mono Lake, Eastern Sierra, California

A seagull swimming in Mono Lake, a saline lake on the eastern side of California. The formations on the left are tufa towers, calcium carbonate deposits created by up-welling springs. The towers were revealed after the lake's water levels dropped when the city of Los Angeles started drawing more water than could be replaced. A growing public uproar and lawsuits in the 1980s resulted in the stablization of the lake's water level.

As for the sea gull, I had had other plans that morning, but since the bird was not going anywhere, I made it part of the composition. Sometimes I do that with people as well.

Here are some wide open apple blossoms, and some partially opened blossoms.

Thanks for all the comments for my previous upload!
