Where the morning meets the meadow
On the first morning of the Arizona Highways Photoscape Workshop, we assembled at 0330 to drive to the Boneyard Creek Trailhead. We then hiked to Boneyard Creek to catch the sunrise.

Morning sunburst glows,
Meadow whispers, stream glistens,
Flowers wake with light.

Or where my lunch is?
These tame and beautiful birds come to my balcony every day and always get corn for lunch. In the following picture you can see a pair of these beautiful birds eating.
Be well and safe.
Thank you for taking the time to look.

This is a Scottish lifer for me - I have actually seen the species before - in India - where they look totally different with chestnut bellies.
It's early evening and these two (of three) cheetah cubs are anxiously looking for their mother after getting separated from her. She had given up on a hunt and the opportunistic youngsters had gone after the wildebeest.
It was magic to spend time with them as they called for her from right next to our vehicle. What was amazing was that the cubs had stayed together and had supported each other while they waited for her to return their calls. There were four vehicles at the sighting and all occupants breathed a sigh of relief when mom finally answered and the cubs rushed off in search of her. Though they had not eaten, they would be safe that night.
The camera does not give a proper impression of the size of these youngsters, or any cheetah for that matter. The females, especially, are actually very small. Females typically reach 67cm (26 in) at the shoulder, and adult females weigh approximately 21kg (46 lb). Their heads are small and round, much smaller than that of a male. In this image the difference is already apparent, the cheetah cub at the back is a male.
We had the opportunity to see this mother and her cubs up close on a number of days during our visit, and have a deep appreciation for the hard work and dedication that go into raising a cub to adulthood. In Kgalagadi cubs disperse when they are around 19 months. With a litter of three, this mom - at 11 years of age (she was born in March 2011) she is one of the oldest females in the park - has to kill daily to feed her cubs. Easy when there are lots of springbokkies in the riverbed, but they were few and far between during our visit.
The morning after this image was taken we followed mom and cubs for 16km before they found springbuck and she succeeded in making a kill.

One of the twin whitetail fawns waiting for the rest of the family to join him. Wildwood Park, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
By no means is the quality of this image great. It lacks sharpness and detail, amongst other things. However, I couldn't resist sharing it as I feel it's a once in a lifetime shot. A tiny jumper positioned so perfectly, resting itself between my arm hair. Comparing it to the follicles of hair, you see just how small this spider is. This picture was taken with my phone + a DIY lens.
As well as being the diminutive form of the name Walter or Wallace, the term wally is also another word for fool. Can you spot him in this photo? :-)
shot by KHWD. It actually of emu feet walking across the land, so love it!

Aboriginal art in the Northern Territory of Australia is rich and diverse, reflecting the deep cultural heritage and storytelling traditions of Indigenous Australians. Here are some highlights:
Kakadu National Park: Home to ancient rock art, including the famous rock art at Ubirr. These paintings date back thousands of years and depict various aspects of Aboriginal culture and mythology2.
Arnhem Land: Known for its traditional bark paintings, which often feature intricate designs and X-ray style depictions of animals.
Alice Springs: A thriving art scene with numerous galleries showcasing contemporary Aboriginal art. You can meet artists and see them at work1.
Darwin: The capital city boasts several galleries, such as the Paul Johnstone Gallery and the Mbantua Gallery, where you can view and purchase authentic Aboriginal art.
Remote Communities: Arts centers in remote communities, such as Durrmu Arts Aboriginal Corporation and Jilamara Arts and Crafts Association, offer a glimpse into the vibrant local art scene.

Alas, Winter won out the next day, when we had another big snowstorm in NYC, but the temperature was above freezing, so the snow was all gone by the end of the day. Central Park, at The Pond in the southeast corner, off Fifth Avenue & 60th Street. NYC -- April 1, 2018

Blue Hour Love Locks - Lake Chiemsee, Bavaria
Love Locks
The exact origin of the custom is unclear. The starting point in Europe is very likely Italy (Italian lucchetti dell’amore). It is believed that graduates of the San Giorgio Sanitary Academy in Florence are the originators of this custom. At the end of their apprenticeship, they fastened the padlocks on their lockers to a gate on the Ponte Vecchio. This was probably taken over by the lovers of Rome at the Milvian Bridge. Through the bestselling novel Drei Meter über dem Himmel (2005; Original: Tre metri sopra il cielo, 1992) and the sequel I stand on you (2007; Italian Ho voglia di te, 2006) by Federico Moccia as well as its film adaptation was the Popular topic. In this story, the two protagonists swear "eternal love", attach the lock to the central bridge lantern and throw the key into the Tiber.
The locks often contain inscriptions or engravings of the first names or initials of the lovers, sometimes with the date. After fastening the lock, the key is usually thrown into the bridged flowing water. At the Milvian Bridge this is done with the saying per semper ("forever").
And somehow this sight reminds me of the movie Titanic - you don't think so :-)

Blaue Stunde Liebesschlösser - Chiemsee, Bayern
Liebesschlösser
Die genaue Herkunft des Brauchs ist unklar. Ausgangspunkt in Europa ist sehr wahrscheinlich Italien (italienisch lucchetti dell’amore). Es wird vermutet, dass Absolventen der Sanitätsakademie San Giorgio in Florenz die Urheber dieser Sitte sind. Mit dem Ende ihrer Ausbildungszeit befestigten sie die Vorhängeschlösser ihrer Spinde an einem Gitter des Ponte Vecchio. Dies wurde wohl von den Verliebten Roms an der Milvischen Brücke übernommen. Durch den Bestseller-Roman Drei Meter über dem Himmel (2005; Original: Tre metri sopra il cielo, 1992) und die Fortsetzung Ich steh auf dich (2007; ital. Ho voglia di te, 2006) von Federico Moccia sowie deren Verfilmung wurde die Thematik populär. In dieser Geschichte schwören sich die beiden Protagonisten „ewige Liebe“, befestigen das Schloss an der zentralen Brückenlaterne und werfen den Schlüssel in den Tiber.
Die Schlösser enthalten oft eine Beschriftung oder Gravur der Vornamen oder Initialen der Verliebten, teilweise mit Datum. Nach dem Befestigen des Schlosses wird üblicherweise der Schlüssel in das überbrückte fließende Gewässer geworfen. An der Milvischen Brücke erfolgt dies mit dem Ausspruch per sempre („für immer“).
Und irgendwie erinnert mich dieser Anblick an den Kinofilm Titanic - findet Ihr nicht auch :-)

Eilean Donan Castle—a true Highland icon and one of the most photographed castles in Scotland. Perched on a tiny tidal island where three sea lochs meet—Loch Duich, Loch Long, and Loch Alsh—it’s near the village of Dornie and serves as a dramatic gateway to the Isle of Skye.
A Glimpse into the Past
The site’s history stretches back to the 6th century when Bishop Donan is believed to have established a monastic cell there. The first fortified castle was built in the 13th century by Alexander II to defend against Viking incursions. Over the centuries, it expanded and contracted mysteriously, until it was destroyed in 1719 during a Jacobite uprising. British naval forces bombarded it, and after discovering barrels of gunpowder inside, they blew it to ruins.
A Romantic Revival
For nearly 200 years, the castle lay in ruins until Lt. Col. John MacRae-Gilstrap lovingly restored it between 1912 and 1932. The iconic arched bridge that now connects the island to the mainland was added during this restoration, completing the postcard-perfect image we know today.
Ah, you mean Eilean Donan Castle—a true Highland icon and one of the most photographed castles in Scotland. Perched on a tiny tidal island where three sea lochs meet—Loch Duich, Loch Long, and Loch Alsh—it’s near the village of Dornie and serves as a dramatic gateway to the Isle of Skye.

Today’s Experience
Eilean Donan is now operated by the Conchra Charitable Trust and welcomes visitors with a modern visitor centre, gift shop, and café. Inside the castle, you’ll find period-furnished rooms, Jacobite artifacts, and sweeping views of the surrounding lochs and mountains. It’s also a popular filming location—fans of Highlander or The World Is Not Enough might recognize it.
If you’re planning a visit, the official website has all the practical details. Or if you’re just dreaming from afar, it’s a castle that practically begs to be painted, photographed, or written into a story.
