I suspect the crazily mild graduation into winter that we had here meant that the tree that usually goes brilliant red only went yellow and orange this year but I am loving the magenta leaf stalks!
Not the horror film ! Autumn leaves I shot the other day over a canal bridge near home. The turning of the leaves is here at last, autumn has been slow to start in our warmer than average temperatures.
On The Turning Away - Pink Floyd Live in Venice 1989
I love this music and the words express so much.

"As long as the world is turning and spinning, we're gonna be dizzy and we're gonna make mistakes." (Mel Brooks) :-)
again, Babič's Mill on the River Mura in Slovenia but here I thought I'd have a go at long exposure to get motion blur in the spinning wheels; although the structure appeared to be firmly anchored, I would soon find out that the ship mill was in fact constantly swinging with the flow of water, however imperceptibly; this is the only shot (out of 5 tries) that turned out to be relatively presentable (with the help of editing)
It was cold and windy on the hill, but sunset turned out to be pretty good. The Cotswold Way at the end of May. Lansdown Hill, near Bath. BANES, England, UK.
Don't we all have some in our lives? A decision we took, a choice we made, or even one we are about to make. All can be turning points in our lives. And some will just change our focus, or our direction, while others will change our lives forever and ultimately they will define us...
Can be frightening, right? But as intimidating this might sound, keep one thing in mind. Just one thing that makes all the difference in the world.
We are the ones holding that steering wheel. No...?
Turning Torso is a neo-futurist residential skyscraper built in Malmö, Sweden in 2005. It was the tallest building in the Nordic region until September 2022, when it was surpassed by Karlatornet in Gothenburg, which is still under construction. Located on the Swedish side of the Öresund strait, it was built and is owned by Swedish cooperative housing association HSB. It is regarded as the second twisted skyscraper in the world to receive the title after Telekom Tower in Malaysia.
It was designed by Spanish architect, structural engineer, sculptor and painter Santiago Calatrava and officially opened on 27 August 2005. It reaches a height of 190 m (620 ft) with 54 stories and 147 apartments. Turning Torso won the 2005 Gold Emporis Skyscraper Award; and in 2015, the 10 Year Award from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat
Noun - The smallest circle in which a vehicle or vessel can turn with out reversing.
This is the last of the three photos taken in the short let up in the UK's two weeks of constant rain. The Circle is made by the Beach Tractor cleaning the beach as it turns to head in the opposite direction.
I can't decide which of the 3 last uploads ('Turning Circle', 'Shepherds Delight' or 'Pier shadows') to use in an up and coming Club competition - I would very much welcome anyones suggestions as to which picture to use. Thanks, Simon.
.... the geraniums that I keep in pots in the porch begin to open as white petals, but then they turn a gentle pink, and finally a deep pink. These few flowers are at various stages of opening out. There's a link to the porch full of geraniums in the first comment field
For the "Looking close... on Friday!" challenge "Pretty in Pink"
Hoping that you have a happy and relaxing weekend

Acers of the Westonbirt. The range of colours displayed by the famous acer collection in the Westonbirt Arboretum is spectacular in autumn and attracts tens of thousands of people every year with October being the busies month. Old Arboretum, Westonbirt, Gloucestershire, England.
Japanese Anemone.
There is a huge squadron of Japanese Anemones in the garden at the moment, basking in the April sun. They love Autumn in Sydney.

While beautiful, this dying leaf evokes a sense of poignancy in me as it is a vivid reminder of the turning seasons and that time ruthlessly marches on.
Few things get my photo mojo kicked into high gear more than the autumn season here in Ontario: a pearl-grey morning sky, the smell of rain in the air, and leaves turning from green to crimson and orange to gold.

Inaugurated in 1998, the Hemisfèric was the first building in the City of Arts and Sciences to open its doors to the public.
Designed by Santiago Calatrava, it features an ovoid shell over 100 meters in diameter, housing a large spherical projection room.
It represents a large human eye, the eye of wisdom. This element symbolizes the gaze and observation of the world, which visitors discover through surprising audiovisual projections.

Like the Magpie, this Red Wattle bird will come into my house if the food dish is empty. Sometimes it accompanies the Magpie, it knows that I will give food which he catches in his beak. When I step out into my yard each morning, he is among the first birds to greet me. Unlike some other birds, he does not demand to be fed, instead he makes repeated discreet visits when there are fewer birds around, and will come within arms reach of me, and take food from my hand.
River, that is. An oxbow in BC's Toad River caught my eye. Nice stormy drama as well.
If you want to get away I recommend northern British Columbia. A few more pics from this remote area along the Al Can Highway in comments.
Your views, faves and suggestions are always appreciated!
Have a wonderful Father's Day weekend!
We were thrilled when we got to see the semiplumbeous hawk. They are not seen often but this one was sitting actually fairly low in the tree and stayed for a few minutes before flying off which gave us time to get a few images. Such a beautiful Hawk and this was taken on one of our trips to Costa Rica with Nature's Tapestry Photo Adventure Tours '
Wishing each of you safe and blessed day !!

She was rock turning at 6 am searching for crab, rock eels pretty much anything edible. If the mood strikes her barnacles and mussels can be part of breakfast menu. She has two tiny cubs which were tucked away in a safe place they joined her a bit later. Lots of fur-baby photos to post soon. I have been away for the better part of two months searching for wildlife on the northern tip of Vancouver Island. Lucky for me the island is one health region as British Columbia is still under COVID travel restrictions till mid June.
