After the temperatures dipped below freezing, even the strand of a spider's web was coated in ice. I especially liked how this seed from a Linden tree was caught in the thin filaments of web.
Unseasonably warm temperatures made for spring skiing conditions, but avalanche risk was posted as "moderate" and so there were fewer skiers than there otherwise might have been, and they were choosing less exposed lines.
On the right side of the frame, three skiers can be seen working their way upslope.
It was a magnificent day. The sun and warm temperature were greatly appreciated, after a cold, cloudy January.
Thank you for visiting!
Took advantage of a sunny bank holiday Monday for a visit to Achill Island. The weather was perfect and it made the views that bit more enjoyable. Sorry for reuploading this photo-I felt the colour temperature was wrong on the other version. #WildAtlanticWay
Very cold temperature, fog at night and no wind are the perfect conditions to let these fragile flowers grow.
This is one beautiful place. The calm river flowing, birds chirping around and the bells from wonderful churches around ! Great architecture. Did'nt get much time to dig around.
I used a different method for processing this time. Took 2 exposures and tuned them in lightroom - 1 for lower temperature to get the sky right and the second for the light on the buildings - warmer temp. Tuned a couple more exposures for the bridge and clouds. Brought them into CS3 and Vertorama'ed /Layer masked them together.
The temperature eventually got above zero! Following a week in the freezer the thaw descended and the sun melted the frost where it could touch. Another from the Beacon woods.
Color change along the lower Hudson Valley has always been a bit later than the rest of the area. Warmer temperatures near the water keeps the leaves attached a couple of weeks longer. The evidence is plainly seen here as Conrail TVLA makes its ritual morning northward run at Tompkins Cove, NY rolling along some rather nice peak foliage with the past peak setting in a couple of hundred feet above the water level.
This is a conservative or low Amish topless buggy clipping along in-2F temperatures. In this area there are two Amish settlements competing for souls and money. Conservative Amish don't allow tops on buggies which limits travel and marks a line of difference with the liberal Amish with their fancy warm buggies.... The conservative group is of southern Germany heritage and language. They have allowed fewer capitalist innovations involving technology and ways of making a living. The other group, after a schism, has embraced global capital flows of value and technology by relying on one of the big three Agricultural corporation to develop a vast system of feeder cattle factory farms. Large semi-open structures have been built to confine a large number of head in a small area (called a CAFO). (there are images of these structures in the Amish folder/album. These "liberal Amish" contract with the outside English people to house their cattle and to work for the Amish. Us "English" provide transportation and ability to use certain technologies that make these huge operations possible. Their wealth has swelled and they have put the money toward the building of large fancy homes that look like suburban houses. The low Amish require people to work on less capital intensive farms. They are not allowed to work in factories. They get by with labor intensive small scale agricultural practices and more humble or low in their consumption. Their homes are rag tag cobbled together structures that are "messy". The high Amish tear down old early 20th and late 19th Century homes to build fancy "McMansions". This leads to another plane of competition to "be in this world but not of this world" Being not of this world means being humble or plain. The liberal Amish think that the less technologically up to date Amish are being prideful and vain or showing off in trying to be "more Amish". The liberal or high churches wear brighter colorful clothes of pink or purple while the conservative churches wear black, dark blue or black. This visual boundary maintains a marriage and social barrier requiring endogamy. Flows of women and capital remain within each group ensuring wealth and social bonds remain within each group. There is a hot cold war between the two groups. The farm in the background is a large English family/corporate farm
The most recent winter storm arriving at Palo Duro Canyon last Friday evening. That's one of the fancy homes on the rim of the canyon, just outside of the state park boundaries. The day had been sunny, clear, and warm, but as evening approached, the cold front and its stormy skies moved in. I was out on a sunset hike, taking in the awesome, dramatic clouds. The following day was quite snowy, and I didn't get out much.

Lens: Tamron 18-300 mm
Settings: ISO 125, f/6.3, 1/640s, 203 mm
Shot handheld.
As shown in this picture the weather in the Grand Canyon varies according to the elevation it falls on, snow in Arizona usually occurs at 6000 feet or higher with rain taking over below this elevation.
The South rim of the park can get up to 60 inches of snow annually while the northern rim can get upwards of 144 inches of snow, below the rims and along the river you would be lucky to get 8 inches of rain a year with snow being unheard of normally.
The Canyon is its own micro climate temperatures can vary from 100+ degrees in summers to -20 in winter but summer is the most deadly to tourists, they are unprepared for the heat so many cases of dehydration/sunstroke are common.

The temperature has dropped considerably since last week to the point that Tofu hides under his blanket again and Cleo has started to think of hibernation !
Dedicated Photographer stands precariously perched upon the cliffs of Whyte Islet, approx 50-60 ft above water level. (Height is a guess)
Temperatures were almost freezing and the forecast was calling for snow.
Whyte Islet is a very small island on the shore of Howe Sound. People hike across the rocks to climb upon this hidden West Vancouver gem. Being aware of the changing tide is very important....the rocky path leading from the beach can quickly disappear when the tide comes in. Many people have been left stranded high and dry on this cute little island. The waterline indicates the water depth reached.

Whytecliff Park is located near West Vancouver's Horseshoe Bay Neighbourhood, the original name of which was White Cliff City, which opened in 1909. In 1914, Colonel Albert Whyte pressed for the spelling change from White Cliff City to Whytecliff. The Whytecliff area is now distinct from Horseshoe Bay. The park, originally Rockcliffe Park, was developed by W.W. Boultbee in 1926, and a private access road was cut from the Marine Drive highway at Batchelor Bay.
The fifty acre Boultbee estate was purchased by the Union Steamship Company in 1939 and the company operated a Bowen Island Ferry from Whytecliff during 1939-41 and 1946-1952
The park is currently home to more than 200 marine animal species and is the first Marine Protected Area in Canada. Sea lions can be seen sunbathing on the beach during summer.

Mood ♫ Luke James - Make Love To Me ♫
A long ass work day, for the both of them, yet despite how she felt and what she had going on, she made his heart sing and his soul melt with the ways she made him laugh all day long, and the smile she insisted stay on his lips, no matter how defeated he felt.
It was never her focus, but he was never sure if she quite understood what she did to him, since day one. Because you see, she had this way... This growl-inducing, grin-bearing, chuckle-generating way of making him absolutely ravenous for her. It made him crazy! He wanted it all at once. To laugh with her, to listen to her day, to touch her and admire her while they filled in the holes that the day left each of them with, only satiated with the other.
But there is a moment... Where he can't take the frustrating struggle of his inability to do and give everything he feels for her at once. Eventually, one lust begins to supersede the others he has welling up inside. His soul begins to singe and his mind floods with images and sounds in fast-forward of the rest of their evening. But right now, he wants to pretend he has complete control over his desires. He'll play it cool as fuck, for now.

Recent clear weather and sharply dropping temperatures at night have created temperature inversions around us, with a cold layer of air trapped under a (relatively) warmer layer aloft as the sun rises.
This has given us inversion mirages in all directions, the light in the cold areas against the ground is bent, as if the ground rises to meet us. The effect is that we 'appear' to be living in a bowl.
In fact, this road does not rise upward ahead, it is completely flat as it disappears around yon corner a few miles up the road.
As soon as the sun also warms the cold layer of air trapped against the ground, this mirage and all others like it disappear,
It's been a while for me to get out taking pictures of Pittsburgh again. Today the temperature was a bit above the freezing mark and the ice in the river started to melt.
The temperature is quickly dropping and the winter sky is growing dark as the Wheeling's 618 crew shoves a cut of cars down the Matt Branch toward Monessen at a measly 5mph. Coke business hasn't quite recovered to where it was before the pandemic, meaning that what once used to move as unit trains has now added work to the 618's day as they ply the rails of the old P&WV between Rook Yard and the CSX interchange in Connellsville.
The remainder of the train is tied down on the siding along the main and power is split so as to circumvent a hazardous and lengthy ride for the conductor over the elevated structure which passes underneath the spectacular Speers bridge and follows the Monongahela River to the plant which is situated on its banks a few miles downriver. These ancient bridge structures have undoubtedly moved tens of millions of tons of coke during their service life and have stood the test of time as a reminder of Pittsburgh's once booming steel industry.

The Galapagos marine iguana is an ugly reptile with amazing abilities. Charles Darwin on visiting the islands classified the animals as revolting. I found them to be very fascinating.
The marine iguana (Amblyrhynchus cristatus) is an iguana found only on the Galápagos Islands that has the ability, unique among modern lizards, to forage in the sea, making it a marine reptile. They can dive down up to 30 feet into the water to find food. They have a natural ability to swim and to move around with speed.
Since much of the Galapagos Marine Iguana’s time is spent in the water there is still a great deal that we don’t know about them. It is known that they must come to land to help with regulating their temperature. The water is too cold for them to remain in it all the time.
When the body temperature drops too much, they have a hard time moving and that makes them vulnerable to predators such as frigate birds and the Galapagos hawk. They will become more aggressive too when they are cooler. They tend to spend time on rocks by the water with their head upwards to soak up as much sunlight as they can at once. - Wikipedia
I am happy to report the photo shoot yesterday was successful. I learned a lot and know that I need to work more with people to improve but all in all it wasn't what I had worked up in my head. I will say though that I really like only editing my one image a day vs. culling images from a large group. Ready to work and move forward, just baby steps!
Late post but had to work on real life pursuits first.
ODC - what are you waiting for? Rain and a break in the hot temperatures.
I walked I tried in the hot temperature to captured all of them and yes! the resulted in the sunlight was cool:)

Today, this scene is now one of snow, ice and deep sub-zero temperatures.

You know you wait for ages to see a temperature inversion and then see three in a matter of weeks.
This was taken in the Ogwen Valley in Snowdonia. I left the car at 05.05 and got to the top of the Devil's Kitchen at 05.45 which is some going. I then spent over 90 minutes looking for my phone which I realised I had dropped while somewhere between the Glyder Fawr scree and Llyn y Cwn - I didn't find it.
Anyway, misery turned to joy when I got to witness this sight.
l y a 10 000 ans, la baie d'Hudson était recouverte d'une couche de glace lors de la dernière période glaciaire de la planète.
En hiver, la température oscillait entre -40 et -60 degrés Celsius, tandis qu’en été, elle atteignait 10 à 15 degrés Celsius.
Lors d’une récente expédition, nous avons toutefois été frappés par une vague de chaleur étouffante, où les températures ont dépassé les 30 degrés Celsius” !!!

Just 10,000 years ago, Hudson Bay was under a sheet of ice during the planet’s last ice age.
The temperature changes over the last few decades have been drastic,” he explains. “In the winter, the temperature would be -40 to -60 degrees Celsius, whereas in the summer it would be 10-15 degrees Celsius.
On a recent expedition, however, we were hit with a sweltering heat wave where the temperatures exceeded 30 degrees Celsius” !!!

How about something spectacular for a Wednesday, something that can hold you through a few days of what may be boring in comparison. This is a group of barrel cactus, each with two or more blossoms and it seems, every one a different color of shade. While I love it, this group drove me crazy!
It was overcast on the morning I got this shot. The forecast was that this would be the last of the hot days for a while, and that has bearing on any photos of cacti because cacti blooms when it's hot, not necessarily when it's sunny.
With dappled sunlight on patches of flowers, every time I moved a couple of feet, the colors would change. And composition which included these colors meant that I was going to have to include some blossoms that I ordinarily would leave out. That didn't matter: there was no way to exclude any flowers. Look at the difference in the shading of the petals of the center flowers compared with the waxy look of the outside blooms.
Today, May 12, the third day in a row with temperatures only in the low 80s, not one of these flowers were open, and many had dropped.
This was going to be the oxymoronic 20 minute snapshot! That's what it took. Perhaps I could just say, you had to be there...
Definitely not as frosty as yesterday's Finch, but I think the pose tells the story here with it's puffed up look, and how it's head appears to be sunken into the feathers of it's chest. I am sure it is doing what it can to conserve it's body heat.
The warm weather has arrived here. Last night the temperature soared about 12 degrees in an hour or two. It was like a switch was turned on. Along with that warming we got just a bit of freezing rain which I am not thrilled about, but it is nice to see the temperature moderate as it as.
I think the next time I see this dove it will have a completely different pose for me.
After the cloudy and cold winter photos of the last few days, today I'm treating myself (unfortunately only in my thoughts) to a little trip to warm Budapest in Hungary.
And so I'm standing here on the banks of the Danube in a 20 degree Celsius temperature wearing a T-shirt and watching as the daylight fades and the lights from the castle on top of the hills and the impressive Chain Bridge come on directly in front of me.
It is a very nice place to end a day.
And tomorrow we'll go back to reality.
The reason for the somewhat unusual title comes from the fact that for a long time Budapest consisted of two communities (Buda and Pest), which were separated from each other by the Danube.
It was not until November 1873 that they were united into one city.
Based on the title, you can now see which of the two places we are currently in.
Nach den trüben und kalten Winterfotos der letzten Tage gönne ich mir heute einmal (leider nur in Gedanken) einen kleinen Ausflug ins warme Budapest in Ungarn.
Und so stehe ich hier bei reichlich 20 Grad Celsius mit T-Shirt am Ufer der Donau und beobachte, wie das Tageslicht schwindet und dafür die Beleuchtung vom Schloß oben auf den Hügeln und der beeindruckenden Kettenbrücke direkt vor mir aufflammen.
Es ist ein sehr schöner Ort, um einen Tag ausklingen zu lassen.
Und Morgen gehts dann wieder zurück in die Realität.
Der Grund für den etwas ungewöhnlichen Bildtitel kommt übrigend daher, das Budapest für eine lange Zeit aus zwei Gemeinden (Buda und Pest) bestand, die durch die Donau von einander getrennt waren.
Erst im November 1873 wurden sie zu einer Stadt vereinigt.
Auf Grund des Titels könnt Ihr jetzt auch erkennen, in welchem der beiden Orte wir uns hier gerade befinden.

Temperatures were relatively cool just before sunset last week at Chicago's Millennium Park. But that didn't deter this little guy, who got himself thoroughly soaked while playing in a Crown Fountain water spout.
Designed by artist Jaume Plensa, the Crown Fountain consists of two 50-foot-tall glass brick towers, one of which is shown here, with a black granite reflecting pool in between. Light-emitting diodes on the inward side of the towers display videos of the faces of local residents. Water not only cascades down the sides of the towers, but also periodically appears to shoot out from the puckered lips of the video subjects.

Phalacrocorax carbo, the great cormorant, is a large dark waterbird from the family Phalacrocoracidae. It lives along coasts, in estuaries and on big inland lakes and rivers across Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. Its plumage is only partly waterproof, so after diving it often sits with its wings spread to dry them and to regulate its body temperature. The great cormorant hunts mainly fish, which it chases under water with strong webbed feet and catches with its hooked bill. It usually breeds in dense colonies in trees, reed beds or on rocky islands, where pairs build bulky nests that they may use again in later years. In many regions numbers once fell because of hunting and habitat loss, but protection and cleaner waters have helped the species recover in several areas and this can sometimes cause conflicts with fisheries.
Thingvellir, Iceland - March 2, 2015: View of people walking down icy walkway through towering volcanic cliffs to Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is the site of Iceland's first national parliament established in 930 A. D. The walkway divides the North American Tectonic Plate and the Eurasion Tectonic Plate.
We didn't quite set another high temperature record for the date here in Winneshiek County today, but it was still 70F/21C. This unseasonably warm weather brought some bugs out of their winter resting sites for a brief appearance even after they've endured temperatures down to 10F/-12C already this fall. This false milkweed bug has a pretty cool way to protect itself. These crafty bugs don't associate with milkweed plants at all but they have the same orange and black color pattern on their bodies as milkweed bugs so they confuse predators into thinking they eat milkweed. Consequently, they are left alone by almost all predators since milkweed bugs taste so terrible thanks to milkweed sap. False milkweed beetle nymphs feed on smooth oxeye/false sunflower plant sap here on the nearby prairie at Neste Valley. Now in the fall, adults add antifreeze to their circulation systems and overwinter under the leaf litter. This one just crawled out from beneath some sheltering oak leaves.
A complete U-Turn on the forecast saw the best sunshine around Fort William itself today. With the accompanying drop in the temperature giving effect to longer exhaust trails, Black 5 No. 44871 crosses Lochy Viaduct with 'The Jacobite'.
Was another chance at a pretty sunset this cold evening so headed down to my sister's house along Middle River. With temperatures below freezing, by the time I finished taking photos for around 15 minutes, my hands were quite cold ... but it was worth it.
While this sunset was not as 'epic' as the sunset on December 7th, it was still very pretty. This capture was taken as the sunset ended, I took this before heading back inside to visit with my sister for a few minutes. Had to warm my frozen hands up petting her dogs who were very excited to see me there as well ;)
A fresh Happy Bench Monday captured this evening.
Strange old weather we've been having here this week. Saturday, the day before this picture was taken, we had a pleasant -17c as a night time temperature. Sunday morning when I ventured out to a lake to get this shot I stood in -10c conditions waiting for the sunrise to appear. Sadly this was the best it got. Monday we had an almighty snow storm come through only for it to turn +4c and rain. Lots of rain. Today we're back at -6c.
Anyway I was glad it was cold enough for the lake to freeze over so that someone could toss a rock out when the ice was a little thinner and then freeze over into this pattern. Not often I get to walk on water, I didn't go too far out - probably 10 meters from the edge but still - I walked on water!
Temperature inversion covering Eyam and Calver area of the Derbyshire Peak District. Viewed from the Barrel Inn above the mineral processing plant at Foolow.
Temperature up 7 to 14 the next tree days that will destroy the ice and snow.
Spring now - March to May. This is when snow begins to melt and it gets warmer.
Often birds on ice, and I took a picture of a couple here, view below….

Freezing temperatures and water offer up so many interesting forms. As long as one has sure footing, it's an adventure to headout on the ice.
Portrait of a bedouin brave guide from 'Jabaliya' tribe with his dromedary. Jabaliya means in Arabic "From the Mountain" as it is in the mountains of the southern third of Sinai peninsula around Saint Catherine where this tribe lives.
Not an easy land there, mountains are arid, temperatures are extreme and resources are minimal. Despite all difficulties, they learned how to optimize the few resources available and greatly revered nature.
On the Saturday I flew from Reykjavik up to Akureyri for a few hours, up in Iceland's frozen north, just below the arctic circle. The temperature here was -14C (6F), and sunset at this time of year is at 14.40hrs. As you can see the seawater in the fjord has almost fully frozen over.
UP's Marsh Job picks up an empty boxcar at National Warehouse Corp in Milwaukee's Harbor View area. The crew is shoving all the way to the end of the short spur in order to make the hitch as a dip in the spur created difficulties coupling. The car was spotted Monday of that week, having been only the second load in about two months. High water levels and well below freezing temperatures had kept the KK River swing bridge frozen in the open position the previous week, resulting in two switches for the customer this week. The crew would replace the empty with another load of bagged salt/aggregate before returning to Jones Island. Milwaukee, WI
