When people talk about fall color in the western US, they're referring to the changing Aspen leaves.
Here, in Aspendell, a suburb of Bishop, California, I found a stand of Aspen that was peaking, as you can see the full range of color in this one section of trees. A couple hundred feet of elevation higher and the leaves were nearly gone, a couple of hundred feet lower and there was no color shift. So, for this location, at least, it was perfect timing.
No real story here, it just made me laugh. I do try to take my photography seriously, I do. I just could not resist. If I told you he was at Machu Picchu you would all say ts ok. He was on San Juan Island if that makes it any more valid to post. Enjoy.
What would a trip to Arizona be without a Bobcat. We were fortunate to find this first year kitten roaming around. She was hunting on her own and stopped to pose for this classic photo.

Timing? Or just good luck?
I was actually trying to get a shot of one of the Native Bees that was on the Dandelion, the bee left a microsecond before I clicked. When I looked at the image I saw I had the Skipper in flight and with tongue out as it approached the Dandelion. I'll take it - I have never captured a Skipper in flight before.

The Martini bell tower was destroyed by the Germans in WWII, just one day before the liberation. The tower fell into the church.
Due to the lack of financial resources the church and tower were restored in 1965.
This shot was taken at National Remembrance Day, what a metaphor.

Getting the timing right for a shot like this is all down to luck.

As always I extend my sincere appreciation to all those who take the time to stop by and comment on my photos.

It all depends upon the timing. I should know, I am a drummer. There were so many times I would be stopped at the beginning of a song and told it's too fast or it is too slow.
Then upon some study I found out that almost, or the majority of songs were in the same speed. Very little differences.
Happy Whatever day it is.
The sun rises inside the arch of Bow Fiddle Rock in Portknockie. Some pre planning and luck with the weather helped when photographing this sunrise.
Timing is everything and in this case I waited quite a while for this Brown Creeper to open his mouth, then I photographed him doing so.
It's been hot a few days here (okay, not really hot, but for Portland area, hot), then it cooled. During the hot times, I hung around the yard shooting, but went back to Greenway, and found this Virginia Rail hanging out there. Only the third sighting of one of these birds for me, and the first this year!
The Indiana Eastern got a late start out of Cottage Grove this day but that meant that by time they got down to their largest bridge on the line the sun had come around enough for this shot of them southbound over Buck Run just north of Okeana, OH. 4/5/2021

Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!
This stallion ( on the left) was trying to cozy up to some of the females who had young foals. The females seemed annoyed with him haha.
Timing is everything, and everything came together this evening as three trains converged at Dock 6 while the distinctive laker John D. Leitch loaded ore. Great light and color with the shadows holding off long enough to get all three trains unobstructed. Credit Air Missabe One and skillful piloting by Gus.
A timing effort I probably couldn’t pull of again no matter how hard I tried. Guinness hopped out of the car and had some fun running around in the fields while Mattbro and I lensed up the passing KBS train headed for Lafayette on the “diagonal” portion of the railroad near Otterbein. I knew he passed in front of me while I was laying in the field bursting away, but it wasn’t until looking through them later that I realized that in one particular image, his back legs more-or-less framed up the lead unit, and one of his front legs nicely covered up an ugly high-tension power pole blocking the train.
I thought the resulting image was pretty enjoyable to look at and made a great memory.

I didn't know this guy was going to do this, I was just shooting this boat, the High 5, as it pulled up to the fueling dock.
Sometimes I just get the timing right. Pillar Point Harbor, just north of Half Moon Bay, California.
Yeah, I know they're 'just' Mute Swans, but I couldn't not take this shot as the pair drifted through water rendered black by the reflection of the black barge behind them.
How I got this shot, I don't know, but I was extremely lucky to get the bird entering the water before making a splash
I think my timing was a little off this last fall to catch all the excitement of the rut. In terms of the duel, this was about as good as it got for me. Seriously, doesn't this sort of look like a gentlemanly exchange before the action takes off? And actually, it seemed a little whimsical - I have no idea what the poor guy on the left thought he was going to do with half his spikes broken off. (Check it large.) Maybe he's getting more instruction from big brother. And big brother seemed to be gentle and thoughtful - like, "ok, we'll take it slower this time." They did finally tangle a little, very politely, with just a touch of push and shove... Tule Elk, Pt. Reyes National Seashore.
