One last image from my trip to Noosa earlier this year, the weather has blown in again here & may put a damper on me getting to the coast this weekend:(
This was the first sight of colour in the sky on this morning & what a treat I was in for!

Happy thursday!!
Grand Canyon, Arizona
The skeletal remains of a dead pinyon pine stand out in sharp relief against a misty background created by a thermal inversion within the canyon.
I took this one a couple of weeks ago at Sussex Prairie Garden. I thought it was hot then. It's hotter now! I'm hoping it will cool down again soon, so I can get back to my indoor photography and remain (relatively) sane. :)
This Coral colored 1964 Ford Thunderbird was a standout in my opinion. Was in excellent condition and the first time the owners had taken it to a car show/
A splash of color to start of the weekend! I really enjoy my Nikon 300mm F;/4 (especially with the 1,7 tc) it gives me a a new way of getting the shot I want and a new perspective at looking at things, as well as framing them. Not to mention the fact that 500mm (effectively if used with the 1,7tc) opens a new world of opportunities quite literally. Thanks for looking/favoring and commenting on my photographs and have a nice -photogenic- weekend.
This little tree's golden foliage has been quite a standout this fall, especially on a dreary day like today.
ODT - The Giving Tree
Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!
Shiprock was such an imposing sight that I still cannot get it out of my mind.
I submit this photo for your inspection.
This photo was taken by a Hasselblad 500C medium format film camera with a Carl Zeiss Distagon 1:4 f=50mm lens and Zenza Bronica 67mm SO56•2C(YA3) filter using Rollei RPX 25 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
With autumn just around the corner, here is a shot from the archives or a white mum nestled in amongst a group of deep red ones.
Thanks for viewing and have a great weekend ahead :)
Grape hyacinth... One of the earliest and one of the prettiest flowers of spring. I never tire of these little flowers.

Two standouts in the first crop of Sunflowers. Mid July. These were very tall. Some six feet or so. Shot with a polarizer late in the afternoon on a 100 degree + day. Have a Great Evening and thanks for the look.
Returning from our walk along the edge of the Manawatu River estuary recently, this small corrugated-iron hut didn't look to be much of a building - especially when compared to the big home behind it... However, the very colourful three-dimensional art work never-the-less made it a stand-out little building in its own right - and was certainly far more colourful than the rather drab-looking "mansion" behind it...!
(The roofline that appears to be hanging over the hut was (I think from memory) a part of the extensive 'patio' attached to the house behind!).
The building materials used for the hut might not have been the flashiest, but the artwork that adorned it can only be described as standout work...!
New Zealand moves to Daylight Saving Time at 2am tomorrow morning - which means, of course, that we lose out on an hour's sleep...! (Groan!).
Thanks for taking the time and the trouble to leave a Comment beneath this photo Folks! It's always nice to hear from you, and your comments are always very much appreciated...!
Pretty Valley, Falls Creek, Victoria AUS
Rising out from beneath the deep fog that had engulfed Pretty Valley where I'd been shooting earlier this particular morning lay this surprise.
I'd not been expecting to clear the fog at all, but scored & got really lucky - even more so that I managed to time it just right and had the sun crest over the hills to the left, bathing this shot in glorious warmth. Just enough fog lingered to give some interesting atmospheric effects and a feel of warm vs. cold too - got to love the high country!
This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope reveals a glistening and ancient globular cluster named NGC 3201 — a gathering of hundreds of thousands of stars bound together by gravity. NGC 3201 was discovered in 1826 by the Scottish astronomer James Dunlop, who described it as a “pretty large, pretty bright” object that becomes “rather irregular” towards its center.
Globular clusters are found around all large galaxies, but their origin and role in galaxy formation remain tantalizingly unclear. Astronomers recently discovered a black hole lurking at the heart of NGC 3201 — its position was revealed by the strange movements of a star being quickly flung around a massive, invisible counterpart. This sparkling group of stars also has some strange properties that make it unique amongst the more than 150 globular clusters belonging to the Milky Way. NGC 3201 has an extremely fast velocity with respect to the Sun, and its orbit is retrograde, meaning that it moves speedily in the opposite direction to the galactic center.
The unusual behavior of this cluster suggests that it may have extragalactic origins but at some point was captured by the Milky Way’s gravity. However, the chemical makeup of this intriguing cluster tells a different story — the stars within NGC 3201 are chemically very similar to those of other galactic globular clusters, implying that they formed at a similar location and time to their neighbors.
