The nights are drawing in so it means not being up so late to shoot the sunset. Alas the weather is closing in too and making it less and less likely that the sunset will be clear of cloud.
In this particular shot the sky had been clear just moments before as I watched and waited for the sun to descend to the horizon when out of nowhere these ominous looking black giants appeared and swallowed up the light. The air changed, as if oppressed by their presence, and cold breath rushed in to push away all the warmth. The smell of the world moved from the sweet aroma of a summer meadow to the sharp bitters tones of damp leaves and pine and with a deep breath and a sigh I acknowledged to myself that the season was well and truly over...
This image was taken in February of this year right after the Swallow-tailed Kites returned from their wintering grounds in South America! It is hard to believe that most have finished nesting and are now teaching the young Kites how to hunt as they begin preparations for the return trip to South American in another month!! They are one of my favorite birds!! Hope you like the image! Thank you as always for all of the favorites and comments!!

We zoom past so many seconds, minutes, hours, killing them with the frantic way we live that it's important we take at least this one collective sigh and stop, take stock, and acknowledge our place in time before diving back into the melee.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

The Tamaracks are acknowledging the season in glorious colour now, our forests are dripping with gold. They have turned a bit later than usual - all the other trees have already dropped their leaves on the ground save for a stubborn few.
This particular Tamarack is in our backyard ... we transplanted it about 10 years ago and it is thriving in its new location. My American friends may know the tree by another name - the Eastern or Black Larch.

Local boats during blue hour, moored at the small marina located at the end of the Pitt River before it opens up into the wonderworld of Pitt Lake.
Communities of rustic to luxury cabins are nestled in clusters along the lake's shores.
A whole new world opens up to a pristine tidal lake that is only accessible by boat.
Pitt Lake according to Wikipedia:
Pitt Lake is the second-largest lake in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. About 53.5 square kilometres in area, it is about 25 km long and about 4.5 km wide at its widest. It is one of the world's relatively few tidal lakes, and among the largest. In Pitt Lake, there is on average a three foot tide range; thus Pitt Lake is separated from sea level and tidal waters during most hours of each day during the 15 foot tide cycle of the Pitt River and Strait of Georgia estuary immediately downstream.

Yellow-rumped warbler... looking pretty smart and trim in his new breeding plumage. I must have seen at least thirty of these guys during the weekend at my aunt’s house (along with seven other warbler species) and it was really fun to watch them. They’re variable foragers, and can switch from hawking insects in the canopy to hopping around on the ground in an instant. This versatility makes them a little unpredictable, though, so it took me a while to get close to one before it shot back up into the canopy. Glad this male decided to acknowledge my efforts.
Marpissa muscosa is a species of jumping spider.
Marpissa muscosa, female.
On average, females have body length ranging from 7.5–14mm, whereas males have a body length ranging from 6–8.1mm. Both sexes are coloured grey to brown. The whole spider has a furry appearance and is flattened in shape.
The species builds a kind of nest under the bark of dead trees. Up to 100 of these nests can occur side by side. As other species of Marpissa spiders, it demonstrates a social hierarchy: weaker animals will acknowledge their inferiority by strutting their front legs and slowly retreating from the scene. Early environmental conditions shape personality types in the developing spiders.

IU-Hi spring Bye
www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLDH-rcYd8c
Your name that was once painful
Doesn't make me regretful anymore
I live as if I have forgotten
You're a coincidence that I want to face again
A low wind blows
In this faint hint of a season
It's not unfamiliar to me at all
My heart reaches out just in case
Spring, you must have been spring to me
Like the voice that used to call my name warmly
Maybe you're doing well
I guess this is a friendly regard
You're still pretty
Hi, hi
On the street we used to walk side by side
There is a flower that blooms out of nowhere
I was in a hurry, pretending not to notice it
But I'm suddenly thinking of it
Spring, you must have been spring to me
Like a comfortable smile shining with full cheeks glistening
Maybe you're doing well
I guess this is a friendly regard
You're still pretty
Hi, hi
So that we can meet on a different road everyday
I walk diligently
I'll be waiting like this
It feels like you're hugging me again
It's what you used to do in the past, without saying a word
In order to get along better
I guess this is a friendly goodbye
I won't not know you
I'll acknowledge you first, like this
Bye
Remnants of an old pier, the only visual remains of a once booming, Salmon canning industry.
Dating back to the turn of the century.
Washington (State)--Point Roberts
Well over a hundred years ago, this would have been a busy fishing port.
Today, we can only imagine the sights of the heavily loaded fishing vessels tied up alongside this pier, and the hardworking employees bustling the catch of the day, up and down the pier.
On the horizon you will have left USA waters and entered Canadian waters, BC Canada
On a closer look you may see the perched Seagulls

Taken just prior to the Canadian/USA borders closing. We have family with a cottage in this location
Point Roberts is a pene-exclave of the United States on the southernmost tip of the Tsawwassen Peninsula, south of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The area, which had a population of 1,314 at the 2010 census, is reached by land by traveling 25 mi (40 km) through Canada. It is a census-designated place (CDP) in Whatcom County, Washington with a post office, and a ZIP Code of 98281. Direct sea and air connections with the U.S. are available across Boundary Bay.
Point Roberts was created when the United Kingdom and the United States settled the Pacific Northwest American-Canadian border dispute in the mid-19th century with the Oregon Treaty. Both parties agreed the 49th parallel would delineate both countries' territories, but they overlooked the small area that incorporates Point Roberts (south of the 49th parallel). Questions about ceding the territory to the United Kingdom and later to Canada have been raised since its creation but its status has remained unchanged.

Interior of the Isa Khan Tomb in Delhi. The tomb was built in 1547-48 and is quite well preserved. It is a part of the UNESCO Heritage Site centered on the Humayun's Tomb, which contains a number of opulent toms from the Mughal and Suri periods. Isa Khan Niazi was a noble at the court of Sher Shah Suri.
Explored 7/18/2023 at #17. Thanks for the overwhelming feedback, it will unfortunately take me some time to acknowledge everyone.

The great thing about living on the side of a cliff is the unobstructed views that it provides like the one I captured here a few steps from the parking area while staying at our B&B in Terranova di Pollino. To wake up every morning to this view while having your morning coffee is dream beyond most people’s grasp but invariably for every great view like this there are probably people tired of staring at it, as they say “familiarity breeds contempt” or in this case antipathy.
Being inside a National Park has its charms, problems and privileges but you can be sure that any new development will be closely monitored as well as existing development will not change very much without the proper overseeing of any changes. There are very few villages in the Basilicata region that can put a traveler in the middle of a mountain within such short hiking distance of natural surroundings, teeming with wildlife and surrounded by unparalleled beauty but this one lives up to that promise.
We originally came to Terranova to experience a wonderful meal at Luna Rossa, a restaurant I had read about and through many well acknowledged reviews wanted to order everything on their menu it sounded so delicious and our B&B was literally across the street. Instead we experienced local culture at its finest while waiting at Bar Caffetteria da Pietro playing scopa and drinking prosecco from late afternoon until it turned into late evening missing our meal but gaining a great experience and many interesting conversations along they way.
I took this on Oct 2nd, 2018 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f3.5-5.6 Lens at 70mm 1/25s f`16 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , and DXO

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Previously unpublished archive shot from February 2019.
The blown out background sometimes impossible to avoid in a city grid at higher latitudes and perhaps why this shot was left in the archive so long. Enjoy.
The city was formed along the Thure river, in the midst of peat swamps. This river was a branch of the river Dubbel and ran approximately near the current Bagijnhof. In 1049 the first reference to Dordrecht was made. Count Dirk IV was murdered that year near "Thuredrech".
Dordrecht was granted city rights by William I, Count of Holland, in 1220, making it the oldest city in Holland.
In 1253 a Latin school was founded in Dordrecht. It still exists today as the Johan de Witt Gymnasium and is the oldest gymnasium in the Netherlands. From 1600 to 1615 Gerhard Johann Vossius was rector at this school.
On 17th April 1421, the Saint Elisabeth's flood drowned large parts of southern Holland, causing Dordrecht to become an island. Over 100,000 people died in the flood.
Because of its strategic location the city developed into an important market city. It traded primarily in wine, wood, and cereals.
In 1572, representatives of all Dutch cities gathered in Dordrecht to declare their independence from Spain and acknowledge William of Orange as the leader of the fledgling Dutch state, marking the beginning of the Eighty Years War.
In 1618/1619, an important church meeting took place, called the Synod of Dordrecht, settling a theological dispute between the orthodox Calvinists and the liberal Arminians that had brought the country on the brink of civil war. The Arminians were defeated, resulting in the formulation of the Dordrecht Confession of Faith.
From 1780 to 1787, Dordrecht was home to the Patriots faction which intended to remove the hereditary Stadtholder position held by the House of Orange-Nassau. The Netherlands was after all a republic de jure. Soon after, more cities followed and William V fled from Holland. But his brother-in-law, King Frederick William II of Prussia, came to the aid of William V and on 18 September 1787, Dordrecht capitulated to Prussian troops. The Patriots were defeated and Willem V was restored in his position as Stadtholder.
In the 18th century, the importance of Dordrecht began to wane, and Rotterdam became the main city in the region.
