SHADES OF AUTUMN Challenge (2021 Art)
OCTOBER FEST - THE AWARD TREE Challenge #208
While everyone was fascinated by some peacocks that came by close, I looked up and saw this interested fellow. He was looking down on the tourists beneath him. Deep in my devilish mind I hoped for a little funny accident - if you know what I mean.
Shot on the wonderful Castelo de São Jorge in Lisbon Portugal.
While we were in Chiang Mai we took the opportunity to look around some of the craft villages that the city is famous for. The best place that we went to look at was this place where they still make traditional unmbrellas both for shade and rain.
While in Yellowstone, I captured this herd of bison during a rainstorm. Every so often they would shake their massive heads violently to get the rain off. Their eyes would roll back, and water would go flying in every direction.
Yellowstone National Park, WY
While taking sunsets at the harbor the other day right behind me the bad Moon was rising,
This was taken with a 200 mm without tripod,
My favorite Moon shot from my garden, click on the link please,

While at an overlook to Sunwapta Falls with a view looking upstream and to the northeast. This is located along the Icefields Parkway in Jasper National Park. With this image I wanted to capture a wide-angle view as the waters raged on by to the nearby waterfall. I liked how the river flowed around that island with the evergreen tree and decided to center that in the image. The waters would flow on by helping to almost channelized the view. I also like how the nearby mountainside and more distant ridges and peaks added a backdrop for this setting in the Canadian Rockies.
While waiting for something to land on this old hollow tree stump this little guy popped up from in side.
While sat on the bank of a small fishing pooL, trying to photograph dragons, I noticed this reed bunting regularly landing on the path to collect grubs.
While in a trip into Romanian Carpathian mountains, I discovered a view over the foggy edges, with mysterious details as the smoke coming out someone's wood stove.
While in South Carolina, I managed to get a shot of a Anhinga, also known as the American Darter, or snakebird. It is unusual in that it swims with only its head and neck above water. With the ambient light and the reflections I liked how the bird glided thru the shadows.
While the family were over we got out and about a fair bit. This photo was taken from Onchan Head across the other side of the bay from the lighthouse. It was automated in 1986 and it is now possible to rent one of the Lightkeepers cottages. info about the lighthouse en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Head_Lighthouse
While I did add a strong vignette, that ghostly light from the gazebo is just as the camera saw it. Seen on the grounds of Ashford Castle, Co. Mayo Ireland.
* While it might still be winter officially, both the garden and the countryside are showing clear signs that Spring is here.. We found this nice group of wild aconites and snowdrops in the Rifle Butts quarry near Goodmanham on February 3rd
I went there again today lots of snowdrops but the aconites had finished just two weeks
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT
This has been an incredible year for Barred Owls in New England, I've been seeing them everywhere at the edges of fields in my travels. With the snow yesterday, I went out locally looking for them and ended up with 6, including this one that was at the very tip of this cottonwood just off the road. I've never seen a Barred teed up on such a small perch like this. Had to shoot while standing in the bed of my truck to get the distant treeline in the background.
While in the Smokie Mountains we stopped multiple times to photograph the scenery. I was happy to take photos of my lovely daughter too. This photo is called “Jamie By The Stream.” Thanks for viewing my work. Stay safe and be kind.
While visiting my sister in Victoria, Texas April 2021 we did some touring of wineries that were close by. Along the way we stopped on the roadside when we saw a potential photo shoot. The wineries of course had their own scenic landscapes with the grape vines and the river close by.

While being in a bird watching hut and looking out for interesting birds, this little barn swallow had a visit to us. It was watching us curiously and had this cute expression - isn't it lovely?
With an impressive GP60, SD40-2, SD40E set on the point, NS P94 rumbles upgrade through Lexington in gorgeous afternoon light on the final approach to Linwood. Fast forward 5 years and change and the Dixie plant has been demolished, P94 no longer operates, the yard at Linwood closed, and solid sets of old EMDs moving heavy tonnage on the mainline are next to impossible to find.
while I was working at office , i sensed strange color reflected in the building outside. then I went to the opposite side of the building and face with this amazing view
While trying to spot a weird sounding warbler, I heard this bird singing up the road a tiny bit from where I was. Knowing that it was a very good bird, I immediately left the unknown warbler and tracked this guy down. I got some great shots, but this one was my favorite. It looks so cute in it! Within about 20 minutes of getting the word out, 10 birder had shown up to try and find it. Took a while, but just as I was leaving it was refound at the same general spot where I had it.
while clearing out a deceased artist's house found a book of Morandi etchings so inspiration revived!

While walking the Osha Trail in Lincoln National Forest with a view looking to the west. I decided to use the hiking trail leading into the forest as a leading line into the image. The view of this captured image is a turned around one from where I had just hiked along the mountainside in this part of the national forest.
About a year ago, I told someone I knew that I really like good cover versions of songs, so they gifted me with a list of their favourite twenty cover versions of songs. Anyway, long story short, last September I glanced at the list again, and suddenly thought about how much fun it might be to make a photo inspired by each of those songs.
This picture was inspired by song number 5 in the playlist, Dreams, originally done by Fleetwood Mac, but the version on my list is performed by The Electric Peanut Butter Company.
I'll admit, I struggled with this one a bit, and thus ended going for a fairly literal translation of a few key parts of the song, particularly focusing on the words: loneliness, heartbeat, rain, and crystal visions (literally, I am toying with a crystal heart in the rain, cold and alone).
Fun fact: While I was doing this particular photo shoot, I did get a bit distracted by a guy hitting on me while he stood nearby gawping at me. It was a nice enough chat, but it went nowhere in the end. It turns out, the romcoms might be rather overplaying the romantic side of two people being together in the rain.
While not as scenic as Wahclella Falls, Munra Falls gives you the opportunity to literally "reach out and touch" as you cross the footbridge while heading upstream of Tanner Creek.
Unfortunately this scenic beauty was hit by the 2017 Eagle Creek Fire and it will most likely be years before the area is returned to something close to the condition captured here during one of my 2015 photo adventures.
Located outside of Portland, Oregon in the Columbia River Gorge.
Constructive criticism always appreciated.
....Take the love out and it means nothing. There's an aspect of photography that has nothing to do with whether a photo is shot with digital or conventional techniques, and the photographer must consider it :-)

While in self quarantine for a few days, I grabbed some of my old SD cards and edited a few images. This image from 2014 is making it's way into my "Digital Canvas" series. Big snow is coming so I'm hoping to feel better and photograph some awesome wintery images. To all of my followers and friends that view my images, thank you very much. Your eyes gazing down my stream all always appreciated.
EDIT; so sorry for putting this image in my Pentax groups, posting my images are so automatic! This image was captured with a Canon PowerShot 135.
while we were in NY, the neighborhood deer had their way with our frontyard bush - they definitely gave it a haircut! HBW!
A little while ago my dear friend Syd Specter gave me a sneak peek at a new, as yet unreleased pack of skies. It's called 'Warm Sun', I've been playing with them all week and I just have to say I am so, so impressed with the level of detail in them. The clouds are so beautifully rendered, they offer layers of depth I'm not sure I could have achieved previously without blending numerous skies together. As an artist she really does just keep getting better and better. I am a very lucky bork to have such a talented friend.

While I was happy with my previous shot here, I must say the better weather conditions this time are a marked improvement. This empty grain pretty much follows the course of the Yakima River, seen here rolling through a double horseshoe curve as they approach Thorpe. This would be the only train I would see n this line but it was well worth my time.
While many trees are still surprisingly green here after an extremely dry summer, the American sweetgum (Latin: Liquidamber styraciflua, German: Amerikanischer Amberbaum) shows off its gorgeous fall foliage.
The sweetgum has a Nahuatl (Aztec) name - Ocotzocuahuitl, which translates to tree that gives pine resin from ocotl (pine), tzotl (resin), cuahuitl (tree), which refers to the use of the tree's resin.
Der Lebensraum des Amerikanischen Amberbaums erstreckt sich von New York bis Nicaragua. Bei Verwundung tritt am Baum ein Saft aus, der früher in den USA zur Kaugummiherstellung genutzt wurde – daher stammt die gängige Bezeichnung „American Sweetgum“.
Alternative shot of a previously uploaded photo taken from the western slope of Shiranesan volcano.
The bamboo grasslands would be a result of Siranesan's volcanic activities as the area is lower than the forest limit of 2,500 m.
The snow-capped mountain range in the distance is Kita Alps that forms the western boundary of the Nagano prefecture, while the shooting site is near its eastern boundary. Direct distance from Shiranesan to Kita Alps is some 70 km.
The peaks in the upper right are the volcanoes of Iizuna, Takatsuma (Togakushi), Kurohime and Myoukou. There are too many volcanoes in this part of Japan.

On the afternoon of Saint Patrick's Day 2022, the Internets said that Norfolk Southern 1069, the Virginian heritage unit, was a trailing unit on a train heading east BNSF's Mendota Sub and that had stopped in Sandwich, IL. Since I pass this spot on my way home, I made it a point to stop if the train was still there when I left work a few hours later. Sure enough, it was still there. I rolled up with a setting sun making for a colorful sunset. This is a panoramic image showing the whole train, with NS 1069 front and center. To give a sense of scale, my car can be seen as a tiny speck on the far right of the image. While there's no featured green in this image, seeing my first heritage unit since before the Covid pandemic was like the pot of gold. And between the golden sunset and the Virginian's golden yellow, it's more than representative of the Leprechaun's gold.
