While looking for Moose at Sandy Stream Pond we were graced by a few White Tail Deer within 20 yards...
I just liked the way this stretch of stream had so many colours. Fall seems to be a great time of year to shoot water.
The light came through the window,
Straight from the sun above,
And so inside my little room
There plunged the rays of love.
In streams of light I clearly saw
The dust you seldom see,
Out of which the nameless makes
A name for one like me.
All busy in the sunlight
The flecks did float and dance,
And I was tumbled up with them
In formless circumstance.
From Love Itself by Leonard Cohen
An archive capture from 2017 when we headed over the border into Scotland .
The shot does not do the scene justice , I have cropped the top as there was some chromatic aberration due to the bright sky . This is very much steeper and higher than it appears which at the time only added to the atmosphere of being in Glencoe .
Glencoe or Glencoe Village (Gaelic: A’ Chàrnaich) is the main settlement in Glen Coe in the Lochaber area of the Scottish Highlands. It lies at the north-west end of the glen, on the southern bank of the River Coe where it enters Loch Leven (a salt-water loch off Loch Linnhe).
The village falls within the Ross, Skye and Lochaber part of the Highland council area for local government purposes. It is part of the registration county of Argyll and the lieutenancy area of Inverness for ceremonial functions.
The use of the term 'Glencoe Village' is a modern one, to differentiate the settlement from the glen itself.
The village is on the site of the Massacre of Glencoe in 1692, in which 38 members of the Clan MacDonald of Glencoe were killed by forces acting on behalf of the government of King William III following the Glorious Revolution. Treachery was involved, since the Clan had fed the soldiers and given them shelter for nearly two weeks before they turned on their hosts. The glen is sometimes poetically referred to as "The Weeping Glen", in reference to this incident, although the Glencoe name was already in place well before the time of the massacre, as the Gaelic Gleann Comhann, the Comhann element of which may predate the Gaelic language, its meaning being uncertain.
The village occupies an area of the glen known as Carnoch. Native Gaelic speakers who belong to the area always refer to the village itself as A' Chàrnaich, meaning "the place of cairns". Even today there is Upper Carnoch and Lower Carnoch. There was formerly a small hospital at the southern end of the village just over an arched stone bridge. This has since been converted into an upmarket guest house, and the nearest hospital is now the Belford in Fort William, some 26 kilometres (16 mi) away.
Within Carnoch there is a small village shop, a Scottish Episcopal Church, Glencoe Folk Museum, Post Office, Glencoe Mountain Rescue Team centre, an outdoor centre, a number of bed and breakfast establishments, and a small primary school. The small Museum was started after a resident discovered "a cache of 200-year-old swords and pistols hidden there from the British Redcoats after the disastrous battle of Culloden".
Several eating establishments are around including the Glencoe Hotel, Glencoe Cafe and The Clachaig Inn. Glencoe is also a popular location for self-catering holidays; with many chalets, cottages and lodges available for weekly and short break rental. Also located in the village, but along the A82, is the Glencoe Visitor Centre, run by the National Trust for Scotland. This modern (constructed in 2002) visitor centre houses a coffee shop, store, and information centre. Nearby memorials sites are the Celtic cross at the Massacre of Glencoe Memorial, and plaque at Henderson Stone (Clach Eanruig).
The village is surrounded by spectacular mountain scenery and is popular with serious hill-walkers, rock and ice climbers. Travel writer Rick Steves describes the area as exhibiting "the wild, powerful and stark beauty of the Highlands ... dramatic valley, where the cliffsides seem to weep with running streams when it rains". The area has been seen in numerous films, including Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban as the home of Hagrid, and the 2012 James Bond film Skyfall.
In Ian Fleming's original novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service James Bond tells Sir Hilary Bray, a genealogist with the Royal College of Arms, his father was from the Highlands, near Glencoe and in Fleming's other novel You Only Live Twice M's obituary for Bond also mentions his father, Andrew Bond, was from Glencoe.
Well known residents include Hamish MacInnes, mountaineer and inventor of the MacInnes Stretcher.
A female of one of the many Bluet damselfy species. They are notoriously hard to ID even with a microscope, but a few experts have agreed that a Stream is probably what I have here. Either way she's lovely.
Trying long exposures for the first time with filters ❤️
A short trek, with the path taking us through the midst of cardamom and coffee plants and this scenic stream awaits us at the end 😍

Weren't we just talking spring greening the valley? Generally, greening will happen. Well here is another quick break excursion to Golden Ponds Trails where I looked into the deep and greening river banks as a break from barn wood shots. There are always relief shots to be found at Golden if you can dodge Don Corona. Regreening the land is always a great topic to discuss instead of discussing burnt orange and Mantan makeup... Especially as dessert nations no longer wait for American leadership; when was it last that our leadership lead forward instead of into endless wars.
I'll throw in this recent shot of the wilds of Longmont's Golden Ponds Park where the water streams through and Upkeep is up to nature. Denver cleaned up their geese problem and provided food for the poor. The Golden Ponds in Logmont are well fertilized by the goose poo and grows vast amounts of greenery. Yesterday the unmasked fertilized the park with their favorite pollutant, Trumpandemic-19 - not his lies. At least the geese fertilize the land and water until lands and ponds can be paved and sterilized toward the goal of burnt orange global warming.
The wealth of new life around this place shows that a new generation of water fowl (fouling) has fertilized Golden Ponds Park at Largemont, Colorado. The river level was coming down as the serious summer heating and resident high pressure settled in and moved very slowly because we ruined the jet stream. Oh well, we can all hide in air conditioning so long as we can throw the electric power away and burn more fossils.
I suppose that these ponds' water plants will thrive around the shores throughout summer. The weather quit bouncing back and forth in the valley with a coming final UP-turn in weather. Mid-westers and Eastern Trump Grumpers poopoo global warming but here we are.
If you love London Night Photography and capturing light streams, Oxford Street is a perfect place for you to be with your camera.
The best time to be in Oxford Street is during rush hour as there is a constant flow of double-decker buses, one after another, that pass by. Set up your camera in the middle of Oxford Street where there are proper pedestrian crossings. The crossing will also be the place where the traffic lights are and there is a slightly elevated concrete platform if you will. Stay on this small platform and you will be safe.
Once you are set up, photograph away! I do recommend a tripod or some means to steady your camera when you are on Oxford Street. When I am here, it is one of the few times I have a tripod with me.
Two words of caution. As buses rush by, expect a strong movement of air that could sway your camera. Hold on to your camera! And, even if you use a tripod, you might want to put your camera strap around your neck or secure it to your arm.
Also, do not be surprised (or alarmed) if a grumpy bus driver yells at you out their window. It happened to me. "You're distracting the bus drivers don't you know?" I simply smiled and waved. That may have upset her more. The incident did not deter me from taking another hundred photos.
Oxford Street has never been one of my destinations. In fact, during the day I avoid it at all costs because it is like Main Street on steroids. If you are visiting London for the first time, give Oxford Street a go but don't expect much except for crowds unless your destination is Selfridge's. Seriously, unless you must, don't add Oxford Street to your list of things to do in London.

My connection has been restored, and I have a lot of catching up to do!!! It may take me a while, but I'll get there in the end.
This shot was taken in a local stream, The Beidog, more photos from this stream can be seen in my Beidog set :)
Liverworks grow very well deep in the cut "canyon" of McCormicks Creek State Park. In deep shade and near the stream, the humidity is high, just what liverworts like best!

Today was a good day. Not only because it was the end of a 3 day week but I became an official brand ambassador for www.lightpaintingbrushes.com
I'm looking forward to working with Jason and seeing where this opportunity takes me.
