The Ross of Mull is the south-western peninsula of the Isle of Mull, the third largest island of the Hebrides of Scotland. It is an area of outstanding beauty, approximately 20 miles long, an area of fascinating geology and a haven for nature.
This swath of wilderness in the northeastern U.S. assumes the look of rainforest on a steamy, rainy summer day. Velvia 50, Zeiss Milvus 50mm, Nikon N8008. processed from the digital file.

Whilst in lockdown in early May we could only walk or stay in the garden. We are blessed to have had such a lovely spot within walking distance - then the colours had really started to pop but now at the end of May it has been so hot and dry that brownish grass is taking over. I though I would post this as a lovely reminder of earlier times.......
My life has been incredibly busy lately and seems like it will for the next while, so I'm sorry I haven't been able to keep up with your images. I will try to comment at your latest images today.
In case you're wondering, I used ICM (intentional camera movement) here. Taken at Van Dusen Gardens in Vancouver.
Nature is pleased with simplicity. And nature is no dummy.

Though summer was exceedingly hot in the Pacific Northwest, there were times and places to cool off such as this falls in the Columbia River Gorge.
Another from Chinnor HIll. I've been so busy of late that I'm a mile behind with processing and also with commenting on other images on flickr. Apologies!
Another from a spectacular night on the shore at Lyfjord in the Norwegian Arctic Circle.
This was my first real display of the Aurora Borealis on my recent trip to Norway. We were extremely lucky to see them on three of the next four nights. This display was strong but the colour was mainly green. The following nights displays were more strong and had more reds and blues in the sky. They were also much more visible with the naked eye.
However, as this was my first real experience it stood out as a much more memorable event. The dancing lights lasted for over 2 hours and I filled a memory card with images and whilst was extremely cold I didn't notice as I was captivated!
There has been a lot of rain in the Pacific Northwest this April and into May, yielding wonderful greens. And while the clouds have limited photography, hopefully that means a modest fire season in the region this summer.
Those verdant greens . . . 'neath that royal sky . . . is enough for me . . . to feel so high...

In early September the verdant growth around the pond almost hides the water from view. The soft pink of the hemp agrimony flowers harmonises well with the misty atmosphere around the pond in Witcombe Valley, giving a dream-like impression.
