On my way back to the valley. Although it is the same scenery as on my way up, the light keeps changing as the sun moves along its course. Here, looking east at the Ober Gabelhorn with a mid-afternoon sun firmly moving west, yielding a striking blue sky as a result. Zermatt is on the other side of the Ober Gabelhorn.

L’Italia senza la Sicilia, non lascia nello spirito immagine alcuna. È in Sicilia che si trova la chiave di tutto. La purezza dei contorni, la morbidezza di ogni cosa, la cedevole scambievolezza delle tinte, l’unità armonica del cielo col mare e del mare con la terra… chi li ha visti una sola volta, li possederà per tutta la vita.

Italy without Sicily, leaves no image in the spirit. The key to everything is in Sicily. The purity of the contours, the softness of everything, the yielding exchange of colors, the harmonious unity of the sky with the sea and the sea with the earth ... those who have seen them only once, will possess them for life.

[Eng. / Esp.] Aínsa (L'Ainsa) is a beautiful medieval place likely founded in the XIth Century. It belongs to the region of Sobrarbe (Huesca, Aragón, Spain) and encompasses a castle, a defensive church and the village. This picture shows a typical framing of the site, captured from one of the ramparts of the castle; I guess most of my homies have a similar one. I pushed my lighter travel tripod to its limits instead of using my biggest one, and the D810 + 70-200 2.8 complained quite a lot yielding this image which is fine for a small display but not for a serious one or for quality copies.
Aínsa (L'Ainsa) es un bello emplazamiento medieval probablemente fundado en el s XI. Pertenece a la región del Sobrarbe (Huesca) y comprende un castillo, una iglesia- fortaleza y el pueblo. Esta es una imagen típica que a buen seguro muchos de mis paisanos y paisanas tienen. Apuré mi trípode más ligero de viaje en lugar de utilizar el más grande, y la D810 con el 70-200 2.8 se quejó bastante ofreciendo esta imagen que está bien para pantallas pequeñas pero no para buenos tamaños o copias de calidad.
What survived in the recent storm and gave me hope and consolation. I hope the hostas will bloom this summer. Restoration work in the backyard is slowly yielding results.

Here's another shot from my recent Navajo tour of Monument Valley. Quanah Parker, with Wayne Pinkston and I in tow, took the Majestic Monument Valley Tours route to White Mesa Arch to spend a couple of hours at this great location. After shooting the arch for a while I had remembered that one can do a four corner pano to achieve a really hi-rez file for large prints or the ability to crop if needed. I shot four frames one at each corner and manually combined them in photoshop yielding an 70 megapixel file. Of course, I sampled it down using the TK actions panel, it does a really good job at resharpening a resampled image, give it a try and you'll agree.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!!
Have a great day my friends!! :)

Technical note: Again and again, I'm amazed about architectural compositions using lenses offering a 12 or even 10mm hyper-wide field of view. For my camera, there is no such option. ("my" 7mm ~ 14mm full frame).
As a workaround, I have experimented with taking a pano instead. This one has 5 individual captures in portrait format, stitched to an image yielding a field of view of 141°, which corresponds to ~6mm focal length 😉
An interesting viewpoint yielding interesting conversation, national parks such as Jasper and Banff are pinnacles of accessibility with spectacular views laying on the roadsides.

The Forest Glade
~by Charles Tennyson Turner~
As one dark morn I trod a forest glade,
A sunbeam enter'd at the further end,
And ran to meet me thro' the yielding shade—
As one, who in the distance sees a friend,
And, smiling, hurries to him; but mine eyes,
Bewilder'd by the change from dark to bright,
Received the greeting with a quick surprise
At first, and then with tears of pure delight;
For sad my thoughts had been—the tempest's wrath
Had gloom'd the night, and made the morrow gray;
That heavenly guidance humble sorrow hath,
Had turn'd my feet into that forest-way,
Just when His morning light came down the path.
Among the lonely woods at early day.

At Hirosaki Park, Hirosaki, Japan Since Hirosaki is located in Northern Japan, the timing of cherry blossoms is late compared to that in Central Japan. However, cherry blossoms there are regarded to be one of the best, or the best in Japan. It is because the trees in Hirosaki are very well treated, yielding plenty of flowers. Furthermore, Hirosaki Park contains many moats, classical bridges and a castle. In this photo, a traditional sightseeing boat headed to a bridge.

Grutterij-Korenmolen (1850), “De Hoop”
Molen De Hoop is een stellingmolen. Dit is een hoge windmolen met halverwege een omloop, de stelling. Zo’n omloop wordt ook wel zwichtstelling, galerij, gaanderij of balie genoemd. Vanaf deze stelling, die rondom de molen loopt, wordt de molen bediend. Denk hierbij aan het kruien (naar de wind zetten) van de molen en het voorleggen van de zeilen aan de wieken.
Een stellingmolen staat meestal in bebouwd gebied en moet daarom hoog zijn om voldoende wind te kunnen vangen, de vrije windvang. De wieken en de staart reiken niet tot aan de grond, maar tot aan de stelling. Hierdoor beschikken stellingmolens over een grote benedenruimte, waar je bovendien met een bevoorradingswagen naar binnen kunt rijden zonder geraakt te worden door de draaiende wieken. De voet van een stellingmolen is meestal van steen, vanaf de stelling omhoog is het soms een houten constructie, maar in ons geval is de molen rietgedekt. Stellingmolens zijn meestal korenmolens, oliemolens of pelmolens. Grutterij betekent ‘plaats waar gerst gepeld wordt’. Onze molen is dus van oorsprong een korenmolen en pelmolen.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Molen De Hoop is a tower mill. This is a high windmill with a circulation halfway, the scaffolding. Such a circulation is also referred to as a yielding position, gallery, gallery or counter. The mill is operated from this position, which runs around the mill. Think of the wheeling (turning to the wind) of the mill and putting the sails on the blades.
A tower mill is usually located in built-up areas and must therefore be high to catch enough wind, the free windage. The blades and the tail do not reach to the ground, but to the scaffolding. As a result, scaffolding mills have a large downstairs space, where you can also drive in with a supply car without being hit by the rotating blades. The foot of a tower mill is usually made of stone, from the tower upwards it is sometimes a wooden construction, but in our case the mill is thatched. Stelling mills are usually flour mills, oil mills or hulling mills. Grutterij means 'place where barley is hulled'. Our mill is therefore originally a corn mill and peeling mill.
I was watching an egret and a great blue heron scan an area near each other. The egret clearly was yielding to the heron. At one point, the heron made a move toward the egret's location, after which the egret took off and landed in this tree, and called out in frustration.
We had a slightly wintry landscape this morning, but it stayed above freezing even as it snowed, yielding a slushy, slippery mess by late afternoon. Not quite ideal winter conditions, especially with the dark clouds all day long. This is the wide water (much like a pond) leading from the Regnitz River to the creek in Erba Park. [DSC02533_lr_2000]

Lyndhurst is a prosperous district in Canterbury, New Zealand. The surrounding land is particularly fertile, yielding good returns of wheat, oats, and other crops. While Lyndhurst is good sheep country, it's also pretty as a postcard, with wonderful landscape views that go on for mile after mile.
"You will yet perish of your many small virtues, of your many small abstentions, of your many small resignations. Too considerate, too yielding is your soil. But that a tree may become great, it must strike hard roots around hard rocks.
What you abstain from too weaves at the web of all human future; your nothing too is a spider web and a spider, which lives on the blood of the future. And when you receive it is like stealing, you small men of virtue; but even among rogues, honor says, "One should steal only where one cannot rob."
"It will give eventually"- that is another teaching of resignation. But I tell you who are comfortable: it will take and will take more and more from you! Oh, that you would reject all halfhearted willing and would become resolute in sloth and deed!
[...] "Do whatever you will, but first be such as are able to will."
O blessed hour of lightning! O secret before noon! I yet hope to turn them into galloping fires and heralds with fiery tongues- they shall yet proclaim with fiery tongues: It is coming, it is near- the great noon! Thus spoke Zarathustra!"
The fickle nature of a colt. Soft and yielding one moment: testing and combative the next. Full of energy vs short rests. They are fun and challenging to interact with, but usually a joy.
This is a moody capture of Tesouro during one of his quiet moments.
The owner is having quite a time with him. She says she has never had a colt that is so 'studdy.' He somehow damaged his shoulder; probably when his mom gave him a reprimand, and it has delayed his introduction to the field where he could expend some of his pent up energy.
I must get back to the barn and see if the vet has OKed some turnout time!

The painted bunting (Passerina ciris) is a species of bird in the cardinal family, Cardinalidae, that is native to North America. The bright plumage of the male only comes in the second year of life; in the first year they can only be distinguished from the female by close inspection.
The male painted bunting is often described as the most beautiful bird in North America and as such has been nicknamed nonpareil, or "without equal". Its colors, dark blue head, green back, red rump, and underparts, make it extremely easy to identify, but it can still be difficult to spot since it often skulks in foliage even when it is singing. The plumage of female and juvenile painted buntings is green and yellow-green, serving as camouflage. Once seen, the adult female is still distinctive, since it is a brighter, truer green than other similar songbirds.
The juveniles have two inserted moults in their first autumn, each yielding plumage like an adult females. The first starts a few days after fledging replacing the juvenile plumage with an auxiliary formative plumage; the second a month or so later giving the formative plumage.
I found this Female or Juvenile Male (almost sure it is a female) in my backyard where they have been all Winter.
They left a few days ago headed North somewhere. Hope they have a safe trip and come back to see me next year.

Once seen, the adult female is still distinctive, since it is a brighter, truer green than other similar songbirds. Adult painted buntings can measure 12–14 cm (4.7–5.5 in) in length, span 21–23 cm (8.3–9.1 in) across the wings and weigh 13–19 g (0.46–0.67 oz).
The juveniles have two inserted molts in their first autumn, each yielding plumage like an adult female. The first starts a few days after fledging, replacing the juvenile plumage with an auxiliary formative plumage; and the second a month or so later giving the formative plumage.
Painted buntings often feed by hopping along the ground, cautiously stopping every few moments to look around. The painted bunting regularly eats a large quantity of grass seeds, including; Panicum, Amaranthus, Oxalis, Euphorbia and Carex. Seeds are eaten almost exclusively during winter. While breeding, painted bunting and nestlings mainly eat small invertebrates, including; spiders, snails, grasshoppers, caterpillars and other insects. They have been known to regularly visit spider webs to pick off small insects caught in them.

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.

“Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.”

A photo from my archives that brought back memories of my walks in the forest, something that I miss a lot. (Sorry for the long story and thank you if you have the time.) (HSS)
The trail felt like a serene thought winding through the forest, the damp, soft earth yielding beneath each step. It was mid-afternoon, but the clouds had already stolen some of the light, tinting everything a muted gray. The storm would come, but not yet; there was still a little light left in the sky. To think that just an hour earlier the day had been sunny.
I carried my walking stick/tripod, which I had made several years ago (see photo below) and to which now I had attached a tracker because of the number of times I had lost it. I listened to the soft sound of my shoes on the earth, the occasional crunch of a twig. A squirrel scurried across the path, disappearing into the shadows, and somewhere deeper in the forest, a woodpecker tapped out its solitary code on a tree.
For now, only this existed: the peaceful company of the trees and walking without purpose or reason.
On/Off - Thank you very much for your visit and taking the time to comment or fave! Much appreciated!

It was a bright day and after a bit of a wander outside in the Hortus I went into the Butterfly House. There I saw this colorful Tropical Milkweed. The shrub had flowers but it was also developing seed. I didn't see any Butterflies on it; they were congregating on Light-Blue Snakeweed and Lantana. Pretty flower, but don't break its stem; it will exude a poisonous, milky sap of which you'd better stay clear. It won't affect your skin, but might be transferred to your eyes to cause irritation there.
The door closed shut with a deep thunderous boom, the ground yielding to the concussive force.
No way back , only forward.
The light dwindling as though it was purposefully obscuring the path that lay ahead.
Stagnant air displaced by a creeping odourous grasping mist of ............................wait!............ what was that?.......surely not now ...............eyes widened, almost child like..................here? now? ....no...wait!
Just off the Icefields Parkway below the Columbia glacier, before Lake Louise. Take an inhaler, because this will take your breath away. The incredible color is not enhanced as it is a result of the breakdown of the glacier rock yielding a "flour" and the resultant green reflection.
An extremely opulent window display that I just had to shoot. Pano-Sabotage being what it is, a largely improvisational, and therefore, not easily determinable method yielding un-repeatable results, this and one more shot were the only ones out of about 8 that were worth keeping. That's actually not a bad ratio, considering.
The exuberance and joy of Spring, bursting forth in a Surrealistic display. The mannequins were surrounded, in front, behind, above, below and all around by hanging blossoms. As a straight shot it was pretty amazing, but of course, pano-sabotage turned it into something else.

" Firth is a cognate of fjord, a Norse word meaning a narrow inlet. Forth stems from the name of the river; this is *Vo-rit-ia (slow running) in Proto-Celtic, yielding Foirthe in Old Gaelic and Gweryd in Welsh. It was known as Bodotria in Roman times."
“Nothing in the world is more flexible and yielding than water. Yet when it attacks the firm and the strong, none can withstand it, because they have no way to change it. So the flexible overcome the adamant, the yielding overcome the forceful. Everyone knows this, but no one can do it.” - Lao Tzu
Our minds are designed to see patterns and arrangements and to have quick perceptions of interrelationships. This sometimes gets carried too far by people with a disorder known as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Here the mind becomes obsessed with arranging things instead of allowing them to become arranged naturally. This can often be seen in Nature photography where the photographer cannot resist the temptation to rearrange the natural order by placing colorful leaves on a log or upon rocks in a stream. The subconscious mind of the viewer instantly recognizes the unnatural state of such an arrangement while the deluded photographer thinks he has somehow improved upon nature. Even in humanly created landscapes there is a natural order that comes about as people do things without giving a lot of planning or thought to it. The Chinese philosopher Lao Tsu wrote much upon this theme. The sensitive photographer picks up on these natural arrangements and perceives the incredible interrelationships involved. Some become very adept at it. Think Stephen Shore. Without a single person in the picture, the image somehow reeks of human involvement. I love this kind of work. Some have called it Social Landscape photography. It appears simple on the surface but Lao Tsu would have you know that adeptness does not come from striving. It can only come from yielding to the nature of things. Let go and let your photographic intuition take over. I love this kind of stuff. There is much more going on than meets the eye.
We awoke at 4:45 AM in our hotel, drove to the Canyon View Overlook trailhead and hiked approximately a mile in the darkness, on sometimes wet, sometimes icy slickrock and sand to reach the overlook. We had such great hopes that the clear skies from the previous evening would carry forward at least into the morning, but the clouds had moved in overnight, yielding an uneven sunrise, at best. Between first light and the 2-minute period when the sun peaked above the horizon and below the cloud layer to illuminate the Towers of the Virgin - the geographic highlight of the overlook, I looked for other interesting scenes.
Back along the trail that lead us to the overlook point, I could see the murky sky catching fire as the sun worked desperately to break through the clouds, the red rock of the Colorado Plateau contrasting with the deep greens of the juniper and pinion pines, the image is brooding...not unlike a photographer who woke his wife well before sunrise on New Year’s Day to hike in temperatures hovering around freezing, in an attempt to capture greatness only to find ok.
A little more than two months later, I would be happy to have this opportunity. The uncertainty of world events, a wife deployed to viral hotspots, and a stay-at-home order have made me appreciate the somewhat less exhilarating moments of our travels as great opportunities to enjoy the wonderment of the world in which we live.
During the 18th dynasty the Egyptians switched from limestone to sandstone. At this time the quarries at Gebelein were not yielding as much limestone as before. Gebel el-Silsila became a source of sandstone. The use of this stone allowed for the use of larger architraves.
Many of the talatats used by Akhenaten were quarried from here, and used in buildings at Luxor and Amarna. A stela from the early part of Akhenaten's reign shows the king offering to Amun beneath the winged sun-disk. The inscription records that stone was cut for the great Benben of Harakhty in Thebes.Akhenaten's sculptor Bek oversaw the opening of a stone quarry here.

This PBD appeared quite proud of it’s classic pear-shaped body as it posed happily for a photograph.
PBDs are probably our most common ducks, often rather plain to see - yet in my experience they capable of yielding the most surprising images!
Harvested sugar cane yields freshly plucked from the fields of south central Florida bordering the bottom banks of Lake Okeechobee have found their way into the customized cane cars of the South Central Florida Express and are heading for processing into the granulated sweet stuff at US Sugar's mill facility at the railroad's base of operations in Clewiston. A few moments prior, the operator (perhaps a roaming conductor?) had swung the swing span of this bridge across Caloosahatchee Canal back for rail movement after yielding the right-of-way to a swift moving yacht, a move unique but also rather common to this railroad due to its conflicts with numerous active waterways. Providing the pulling power is GP11 #308, a Paducah-rebuilt veteran more synonymous with hauling Midwestern crops through the Heartland during its tenure with the Illinois Central, though still looking sharp in dazzling yellow and grey dress well into its "retirement" down in the Sunshine State.

A beautiful opening Rosebud.
A Rose, named Just Joey, in our garden.
It was, like all flowers: imperfect…
I have yet, after thousands of flowers find a 'perfect' one.... just like people? LOLOLOL
Still, it is slowly unfolding and yielding us its beauty and fragrance in the evening...

A barn in the fields near Sutton Bridge, viewed from the West Bank. This was a super walk, really rich soil here and lots of high-yielding fruit trees just growing wild in the hedge. A wonderful mix of order and chaos, also in this scene and hopefully a little bit in the composition as well with the branches just overlapping the barn.

In this piece, the last traces of daylight slip across the Mesquite Dunes before yielding to the deep, enveloping hush that darkness brings. I’m drawn to these moments when the world grows still, and the dunes seem to breathe in silence. This photograph is part of my ongoing series Contours of Light and Silence, exploring the quiet transitions where form and shadow shape the desert’s emotional landscape.
And God said, Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so.
The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

One of the stops in Iceland was at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon where ice was calving off of glaciers coming down from the largest ice field in Iceland. The resulting icebergs would accumulate near the small river flowing out to the ocean as that was the only connection to the sea. I visited there two separate days and it was not only different each day, but the ice was actively moving, yielding different looks by the hour.

"De Weyert" , te Makkinga
Windmill De Weyert is an octagonal scaffolding mill in Makkinga from 1868. The mill has the function of a flour mill.
This mill was originally built in Gorredijk and was used as a sawmill. In 1912 the mill was moved to the hamlet of Twijtel. The mill was bought for 400 guilders in 1912 by Wijert Zeephat because the previous mill was burned down. This mill, a belt mill, was purchased in 1905 and was previously a polder mill in a polder near Oosterwolde. This mill burned down in 1912 due to a lightning strike. In 1925 the mill was relocated to Makkinga. This location was much more favorable, because the mill was therefore on a canal, which has since been drained, and on a tram line. A restoration took place in 1984, just like in 2006. The blades of the grinding mill are equipped with a self-yielding system (valves instead of sails).
The mill is managed by the De Weyert corn mill foundation. The municipality is Ooststellingwerf.

Messier 101, also known as the Pinwheel galaxy, is located in the constellation Ursa Major. It is best observed in the Northern hemisphere during the spring time. Those in the Southern hemisphere may be lucky to observe it close to the horizon during the fall season.
This was a challenging object to photograph, in particular because I was imaging in from my backyard in Toronto (a Bortle 8 location). Severe light gradients took a lot of processing in Pixinsight and Photoshop to remove.
Overall I am happy with the image: blue star-forming regions are clearly observed, along with discrete dust lanes and the arms of the galaxy.
Technical info: three nights of imaging were required to capture 120 luminance images (1 min per image), 24 red (4 min), 7 green (2 min), and 25 blue (3 min), yielding a total integration time of 665 min's (over 11 hours)! Camera was an SBIG STF-8300M using Baader LRGB filters. The imaging telescope was a Celestron EdgeHD8 with a 0.65x reducer (focal length of ~ 1400mm). The mount was a Celestron CGX, and imaging control was done using N.I.N.A. Images were processed in Pixinsight, Photoshop, and Topaz Labs DeNoise AI.
Ritratto street - L'uomo in frack --- Solo va un uomo in frack, ha il cilindro per cappello due diamanti per gemelli, un bastone di cristallo,la gardena nell'occhiello e sul candido gilet un papillon, un papillon di seta blu. S'avvicina lentamente con il cedere elegante ha l'aspetto trasognato malinconico ed assente e non si sa da dove vien ne dove va, chi mai sarà quell'uomo in frack. --- Canzone di Domenico Modugno considerata da molti la più bella del suo repertorio. Una ballata struggente che racconta le ultime ore di un personaggio misterioso. - Rosignano M.mo - Livorno, Italia.
Street portrait - "Solo goes a man in frack, his hat cylinder has two diamonds for twins, a crystal stick, the gardena in his eyelet and on the white vest a bow tie, a blue silk bow tie . Approaching slowly with the elegant yielding has the dreamy look melancholy and absent and no one knows where it comes from where it goes, who will ever be that man in frack". --- Song of Domenico Modugno, The man in frack, considered by many the most beautiful of his repertoire. A poignant ballad that tells the last hours of a mysterious character. -

I have a favorite cycling route that takes me from my house through small rural roads and back home in about 8 miles. There are so many treasures on that short loop!
