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.
Looking forward to seeing some iconic locations again soon. Some are always busy, but it's still a pleasure to be there.
Derwent Water is always busy, as I found back in 2019 for this image - finding a perfect view can be tricky sometimes...
This is a handheld shot with incredible still water - A small snow squall had just passed and the weather changed in an instant. 15 minutes earlier this scene had choppy water. As my goal on this shoot was sunset, I had time to double back and re-shoot spots.
GPS is for Stansbury Island and not the exact spot of the photo.

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.
Green Grass Dart / Skipper (Ocybadistes walkeri)
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.

It got really windy here. Like, hold onto your hat windy! I laid down on the dock to get this male Bufflehead Duck bobbing up and down. One tough duck to shoot anyhow. You need perfect light to get all those beautiful colors on the head. Shark River NJ.
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.
Set up my camera for macro shot of the flowers and this moth/butterfly landed and made a great macro photo bomb.

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.
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!
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.

With clouds building, there were still occasional breaks that allowed for some filtered sun. One such hole opened up in a timely fashion as CSX L302 came into Howell, MI. through WE Howell.
Early morning shot of a Great Egret that flew just right for me in front of the Super Moon. Central Bucks PA.
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.
Earlier this year CP ran a CWR train along the Galt Sub dropping rail in various locations before continuing south down the Hamilton Sub. While working their way east, the consist was left tied down on the Killean Storage Track on Galt's east side one evening giving local photographers the opportunity for night shots of the London-built SD40-2.
With the time change 'springing ahead' during the night, I was afforded an extra hour of darkness in the morning, with just enough time to grab a few shots after work before the sun came up.

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.
