Sea of clouds as seen from Tateyama.
雲海の下は富山の街並みと湾です。
夕日に雲が黄金色に輝きました。
Under the sea of clouds is the Toyama city and the bay.
Clouds shone golden in the setting sun.
As I sat in my garden enjoying a nice cup of tea I liked how the late afternoon light was illuminating the grass.
Thanks for all the lovely comments and favs on yesterday's busy bee :)
As we aproached the lake, I heard some fellow hikers exclaim "It looks like they use food colouring here!" I thought: photo-op. I don't use any of the 'magical' settings on my camera, but this time I didn't have my glasses on. When I got back home and looked at the pic on my computer I thought "What the heck!" I must have inadvertantly moved the dial. Even though I almost deleted it, after a while this funky image kind of grew on me. Next time though, I will have my glasses on.

As always, many thanks for taking the time to view, fave and comment. That's very much appreciated

As the seasons change, some low-lying clouds remind me that stormy days are ahead. But for now, I enjoy the September colors at the end of the day.

As you drive through small towns, you might see a neglected, abandoned old home like this one. Maybe you wonder who once lived there and what became of them. How many children played in the yard and did they return to visit “the folks”? Is there a favorite dog buried under the tree? Then you get back on the highway and the old place is forgotten. Again.
As the light of the setting sun turned the grass around the heathland pool golden, the toads continued to make their amorous calls - which I'm certain would have continued well into the night. Spawning only just under-way, they had much to occupy their time ... ;-)
As you can see, this multi-tenant birdhouse appears to need a bit of renovation work. I can understand how the wood could deteriorate due to age, but I am wondering how the metal railings could have gotten bent this way. The house is mounted at the top of a pole in a local park and is probably 12-15 feet off the ground.

The Pitstone Windmill as dusk falls with the mysterious and ancient Ivinghoe Beacon. This is where the historic Ridgeway Path, starts its journey.
The windmill has stood here since 1627 and it closed in 1894 after it was badly damaged in a storm. It was restored by a group of enthusiast`s and is now full operational and open to the public.
The Ridgeway path follows the high ground across the Chilterns for 87miles and ends at Avebury [ famous for its standing stones ] in Wiltshire. The path has been in use since the Neolithic period by early man as it was safer to travel across the hills than down in the valleys because of the impenetrable forests and danger of attack by wild animals. It has been used from medieval times right up to the 50s by travelling tradesmen [ journeymen ] and travelling sales men [peddlers] carrying their goods to the various markets in the many villages that it passes through. Its a haven for wildlife including butterflies as well as the flowers that grow on the rich chalk grassland and it was originally part of a deep lagoon off the coast of west Africa before the tutonic plates shifted millions of years ago.
There are many megalithic features on the Ridgeway including Bronze age Long Barrows { Graves } Iron age Hill Forts and Standing Stones.
An amazing place, I have walked sections of it. I hope to walk it in its entirety next year as long as my legs, and me can hold out that long!!!
Do hope you will like my pic and give us a quick Fave if you do! Its what your index fingers for....... mostly!!!!
Have a good week ahead!
Pat.

As the weather turns warmer, the troop decided to do a seafood grill out on the water. Perhaps not surprising, I decided to tease Adi with my freshly caught lobsters. Andie, on the other hand, was well impressed by Pengu's wet slippery thing in his hands.
Pengy decided here to be the chef o'day - watching over the paella on the grill.

Yeah, and a Happy Fucking Valentine's Day to you, too.
I want you to hold out the palm of your hand
Why don't we leave it at that?
Panorama of Kirkjufell and surrounding mountains on Snaefellsnes peninsula during the late Spring eveing hours.
As the Vulture flew off folks so do the Hawk, but as I watched him go, all he did was feel safe enough to make a small circle and return to the same perch, just lucky I did not move and hung in there.
Thank you all.

Taken @ Lost Lagoon
As the August evenings and nights darken, the Northern Lights are visible again. I stood by the lake waiting for them. And they came, not dancing like in winter, but in a calm, beautiful arch, staying in place for over an hour. An orange crescent moon also rose into the sky. All the colors of the sky were reflected on the surface of the calm lake. Otherwise it was very quiet. I will keep this memory in my heart.

Minimalist photography
is a form of photography that is distinguished by extreme, austere simplicity. It emphasizes spareness and focuses solely on the smallest number of objects in the composition process. Minimalist photographers usually focus solely on one particular subject, rather than an abundance of color, patterns and information. ( wikipedia )
I love learning new stuff in photography, and some techniques requires allot of time to learn and understand..... witch I have a hard time to do . This is minimal as can be ( I think)

As it used to look before it collapsed in March 2017, it was my favourite place in the world to take photos and I still miss it.

💟Description Image Ethereal Dreams:
This is a small tribute to the transition of what we often forget from our childhood, the warmth of those moments that we often forget, the details, the time that remains suspended in our thoughts, and how everything around us is changing and that without realizing it, we should also remember again what we have forgotten under those clouds.

Also known as a Grizzly. This healthy boar was seen and admired in the Tetons with good friends Debbie Tubridy, Jen Hall and Rodney Lange.
"Meriwether Lewis and William Clark first described it as grisley, which could be interpreted as either "grizzly" (i.e., "grizzled"—that is, with golden and grey tips of the hair) or "grisly" ("fear-inspiring", now usually "gruesome"). The modern spelling supposes the former meaning; even so, naturalist George Ord formally classified it in 1815 as U. horribilis, not for its hair, but for its character.
Occasionally a huge male grizzly has been recorded, whose size greatly exceeds ordinary, with weights reported up to 680 kg (1,500 lb). A large coastal male of this size may stand up to 3 metres (9.8 ft) tall on its hind legs and be up to 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) at the shoulder.
A grizzly bear can also be identified by its rump, which is lower than its shoulders; a black bear's rump is higher than its shoulders. A grizzly bear's front claws measure about 2–4 inches in length; a black bear's claws measure about 1–2 inches in length." Wikipedia
Was a treat to safely enjoy the scavenging, digging and hunting for more food before his time to hibernate.
Have a wonderful weekend!

As a national monument and as the heart of the protected village view, the Oude Kerk is part of Borne's identity. This Stephen of the Old Church of Borne was founded about the year 1000 by the Dominican monks of the monastery in Ruinen. In a deed of 1206, the church in Burgundy of Borne is mentioned for the first time. This document records a major transaction between the bishop of Utrecht and the monastery, whereby the church in Borne becomes the property of the bishop.
