Encore une fois, au risque de me répéter, excusez mon silence... Mais sachez que je me délecte toujours à regarder vos images... Merci!
De bien merveilleuses rencontres...
À mon arrivée il n'y avait que deux personnes qui avaient osé s'aventurer tout doucement les deux pieds et le trépied dans l'eau à proximité du galet central, là où un bon nombre de bécasseaux de plusieurs espèces fouillaient le sol, tantôt submergé par un filet d'eau, tantôt recouvert d'une fine couche d'algues en voie de s'assécher... Leur toute respectueuse présence, quant à moi, sonnait le go pour qu'à mon tour j'ose m'y présenter. Il en fut de même, par la suite, pour la dizaine d'autres photographes qui se contentaient jusqu'alors à capter les quelques Chevaliers fidèles qui scrutaient, quant à eux, le sol des galets situés aux abords du rivage...
Tout au long des deux heures qui ont suivis, d'autres photographes se sont joins à nous, et à part quelques déplacements temporaires, jamais les limicoles ont montré des signes de dérangements, pouvant perturber leur quête à la recherche de leur toute précieuse nourriture. Au contraire, ils se sont approchés de nous à plusieurs reprises de telle sorte que bon nombre d'appareils, au gros gabarit, se sont tus, incapable de procéder à la mise au point du sujet si rapproché... Au final, seul un faucon pèlerin, survolant en rase motte pendant une minute le secteur, aura chassé que quelques minutes seulement, la totalité des oiseaux se trouvant sur le galet...
J'aurai donc, dans ces quelques heures d'un après-midi de fin d'été parfait pour la photo, croisé un grand nombre de mes contacts et bon amis Flickr, de biens belles et chaleureuses rencontres. Parmi ces gens se trouvait un couple, dont j'attendais depuis bien longtemps l'occasion de les saluer, Rose-Ange et Jean... Enfin nos routes se sont croisées. Heureux moment...
Cette première série, de cette merveilleuse session, est davantage orientée sur la composition, ce qui m'aura permis de sublimer ce décor qui baignait dans une lumière parfaite plutôt que de mettre l'emphase sur ma recherche habituelle de la présentation d'un oiseau capté tout en proximité au plumage bien détaillé...

The Norwegian Natur & Foto Magazine organized for the 7th time the largest, likely most prestigious, Nordic nature and wildlife photography competition.
With its fantastic nature, unique light, magnificent wildlife and plant life, Nordic nature is in a class of its own and the magazine wants to promote that via the Nordic Nature Photo Contest, which is international and open to everyone. All images must be shot in one of the Nordic countries, Norway including Svalbard, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, the Faeroe Islands and/or Greenland.
One of the images I sent was a high key image of an Apollo (Parnassius apollo). In Finland, the beautiful, elusive, though vulnerable Apollo butterfly was one of the first species of insects declared endangered in the country and is thus very hard to find. I have tried to photograph it throughout the last few summers, though not always with success.
However, there is always a chance to get lucky... and I did... back in July 2016. Went to an area in the South of Finland where the Apollo flies in limited numbers. I searched, stayed patient and got 'awarded'. The Apollo visible, in this now awarded image, was either not warmed up properly, or simply lacking energy, as it was extremely calm for some 20 minutes providing me however with enough photographic opportunities. I converted this particular image into a high key B&W using Silver Efex Pro, but kept the 'eyes', though partially hidden as the wings were closed, red.
As you all know, I am on the never ending pursuit of that next ‘cracking shot’ … and long may it still continue. Happy days! For further information on the competition, please visit www.nnpc.no/en/

Your comments and favs are appreciated more than you know.
I woke up this morning early.. 4am and was out the door pretty early. This image was made around 6:30 am. When I woke I was in a great deal of pain. I got out of bed and made it had a coffee and off I went in pain. I wont sit around doing nothing and be in pain.
In the book of Mark Jesus used a Parable about a strong man. My body has that Strong man in it. My heart is where Jesus resides. No matter what the Devil throws my way he will never be able to take what is inside. He will never be able to tie that man up!

Hush, just stop
There's nothing you can do or say, baby
I've had enough
I'm not your property as from today, baby
You might think that I won't make it on my own
But now I'm
Stronger than yesterday
Now it's nothing but my way
My loneliness ain't killing me no more
I, I'm stronger...

“Courage is not having the strength to go on; it is going on when you don't have the strength.” - Theodore Roosevelt.
Its been a challenging week so far. Last week, while shooting seascapes, I slipped & fell on my shoulder, dislocating it. The pain has been unreal, & emotionally discouraging. But time will heal the sore spots, & build the strength to move on.

A dusting of snow graces the Grand Teton at sunrise. The symbol of strength portrayed by great mountains is always an inspiration to me.

Stronger than an auto rack filled with new GM products!
With the demise of the telegraph pole along railroads, this scene today would have played out much worse. The well planted pole and taught wire have kept the auto rack from rolling over on it's side and spilling it's cargo of GM's finest. This wreck occurred in February 1978 just south of the 6th Street crossing in Findlay, Ohio on Conrails Toledo Branch. Photo by Dale A. DeVene Jr.

Beginning Today...
I will no longer worry about yesterday.
It is in the past and the past will never change.
Only I can change by choosing to do so.
I will no longer worry about tomorrow.
Tomorrow will always be there,
waiting for me to make the most of it.
But I cannot make the most of tomorrow without first making the most of today.
I will look in the mirror and
I will see a person worthy of my respect and admiration.
This capable person looking back at me
is someone I enjoy spending time with
and someone I would like to get to know better.
I will cherish each moment of my life.
I value this gift bestowed upon me in this world
and I will unselfishly share this gift with others.
I will use this gift to enhance the lives of others.
I will take a moment to step off the beaten path
and to revel in the mysteries I encounter.
I will face challenges with courage and determination.
I will overcome what barriers there may be which
hinder my quest for growth and self-improvement.
I will take life one day at a time,
one step at a time.
Discouragement will not be allowed to taint my positive self-image,
my desire to succeed or my capacity to love.
I walk with renewed faith in human kindness.
Regardless of what has gone before,
I believe there is hope for a brighter and better future.
I will open my mind and my heart.
I will welcome new experiences.
I will meet new people.
I will not expect perfection from myself nor anyone else:
perfection does not exist in an imperfect world.
But I will applaud the attempt to overcome human foibles.
I am responsible for my own happiness
and I will do things that make me happy. . .
admire the beautiful wonders of nature,
listen to my favorite music,
pet a kitten or a puppy,
soak in a bubble bath . . .
pleasure can be found in the most simple of gestures.
I will learn something new;
I will try something different;
I will savor all the various flavors life has to offer.
I will change what I can and the rest I will let go.
I will strive to become the best me I can possibly be.
..... and every day.
