400D + Nikkor-S Auto 50 1.4 at F2, with an af confirm Nikkor F to EOS adapter. Very generously cropped.

I know this seems a little crazy, but this tree is the reason for this past weekends hike. It is known as the 'Wally' Waldron Tree. It is a Limber Pine and it is estimated to be over 1500 years old. The Limber Pines supposedly only live at altitudes over 9,000 ft., so their habitat is rather limited. Where this one lives is at the top of Mount Baden-Powell in the San Gabriel Mountains in Southern CA. The hike to get to this one is about 4 miles one way. On a beautiful day, that would be no problem, but on this day, the weather at the summit was rather inhospitable. However, I wanted it to that way for this photograph. I really think it adds to the overall magnificants to this ultimate survivor of the elements. after spending about 30 minutes exploring the summit, the howling wind had numbed my fingers to the point of being painfully useless. That was my que to depart this gloriously, frozen, mountain top to the warmth of lower elevations.

Perched on a cliff on the central California coast, 50 miles south of San Francisco, the 115-foot Pigeon Point Lighthouse, one of the tallest lighthouses in America, has been guiding mariners since 1872.

She's got a smile that it seems to me

Reminds me of childhood memories

Where everything

Was as fresh as the bright blue sky

Now and then when I see her face

She takes me away to that special place

And if I'd stare too long

I'd probably break down and cry

  

Sweet child o' mine

Sweet love of mine

  

She's got eyes of the bluest skies

As if they thought of rain

I hate to look into those eyes

And see an ounce of pain

Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place

Where as a child I'd hide

And pray for the thunder

And the rain

To quietly pass me by

  

Sweet child o' mine

Sweet love of mine

  

Where do we go

Where do we go now

Where do we go

Sweet child o' mine

I've had this in my computer for a year, and I just found it and was like... I love this :D

 

It's not an amazing capture, but it is my favorite thing in all of Disney World. (that means a lot coming from me)

Chataîgnes ; un beau symbole de l'automne avec le plaisir des yeux et des papilles en plus!

Chestnuts : a beautiful symbol of autumn with pleasure for eyes and tastebuds and more! !

Fricassée de champignons façon Trencavel al cantou ... merci Peire

Amazing tree, fed, I guess, by the nearby Little Jimmy Spring.

The architecture in this abandoned hospital is amazing. Captured in Nocton near Lincoln City in Lincolnshire, England.

Perfect picture!!!!!!!

This is a really cool flog!!!!!!!

Congrats

C U

because I can't help myself and its such a gorgeous little stream with lots to poke and prod under.

 

Besides I think we all know that I am TOTALLY mad and I will do what I want to do anyway.

 

I think everyone should find their own little stream to paddle in!!!

 

Jenny and Don, the owners of Mast Gully Gardens have seen the photos I have posted and loved them and said I can come and go as I please, whoooo hoooooo.

 

They have a gorgeous Mastiff called Ruby who I sat with for ages the other day, scratching her ear and having the most sensible conversation. Probably more sensible than I have had with the husband in the past 27 years!!!!

 

Good job he doesn't Flickr!!!

 

GORGEOUS SEEN LARGER

Quel souvenir de plongée !!!

Bien calé devant la vitre, mon souci était d'éviter les reflets sur le verre ... Ah confort des grands aquariums ! :-))

As I was walking back home from the campus this afternoon, I spotted this lone gorgeous rose in our next door neighbors front yard. Last summer, there were many such roses blooming on the plant, but at the moment, there was only the one. It was overcast and made it easier to capture without over-saturation, but I'm also shooting only RAW now. I was intrigued with the blend of colors and the moisture on the petals (it has been raining a lot here this past week). A wide aperture for a narrow depth of field and the rest is history...

My most interesting photos on Flickriver

The big 12 and the Seattle Great Wheel in green looking from a cruise boat the night before the Super Bowl.

I love this shot. It isn't perfect, but it is mine (grin). The swans are awesome, and this is a hand held shot of them flying right above me. I am seldom able to get this close. Total weight for these 8 swans is about 500 pounds. These Arctic Tundra Swans are not the garden variety pantywaist swans that swim around a local pond. These swans migrate over 2,000 miles each way from the Arctic to Oregon, and they do it every year. I can hardly even imagine how difficult that would be.

Every region of the Land of Enchantment - a.k.a. New Mexico - has memorable geological features. Tent Rocks certainly qualifies.
