Where dreams begin...

As the sun begins to set on the West Coast, the last strong rays touch on the inselbergs and taller Joshua trees of the high Mojave Desert in Joshua Tree National Park.
Captured near the parking lot for the Barker Dam Nature Trail, I like the way the light is caught only by the tallest inselberg, the spines of the Joshua Trees, and the few clouds in the sky.

After the sunrise lightshow in the sky, the early morning light revealed a number of elements that made an interesting composition on the water. With all these pictures in this sunrise shoot, the key was to work quickly in the fast changing light.
Just outside Cunningham Falls State Park, in Frederick County, Maryland, I found this old hay barn and pickup alongside the road. The field was neatly manicured and perfectly fenced, the barn and hay sheds were rotting and the truck had not been run in years...but the scene, under thick clouds and a beautiful sun, captured my eye.
You pull my chair out and help me in
And you don't know how nice that is
But I do
Okay, 2022 is dead. Someone stick it with a fork and pound it on the forehead with a hammer.
I'm ready for a new start. Interested parties should apply within.

Many thanks to the kind CSR at Legacy named Alli who helped me figure out my neck issues. It turned out not to be a Legacy problem, but she went above and beyond helping me fix it.

A 350 mile journey begins with one step.
Saturday night William McIntosh and I made some plans to head up to Julia Pfeiffer State Beach to photograph Keyhole Arch during the winter solstice. During the winter solstice the sun lines up through the arch and has produced some magical captures and is a popular destination for many photographers. The following morning Bill called at 7:30am and said that the weather had turned up north and we decided to head the other direction towards the southwest, After spending a half hour looking at the radar and Skyfire we decided to head to a spot 6 hours away just past Phoenix Arizona to the Salt River Bend.
As we traveled, the weather started clearing more and more and by the time we got on location the clouds almost cleared out of the sky completely but luckily as the sun dipped to the horizon we did catch some last minute color in the sky.
This is an 8 image panorama stitched together in Lightroom and in an effort of full disclosure, was unhappy with the size of the moon when shooting at 11mm so I had the presence of mind to grab the longest lens in my bag at the time, a 24-105mm and snapped a second shot of the moon and replaced the tiny moon in the original composition with the one shot with the longer lens. I know some people object to this but I'm trying to sell prints here people. LOL :)

The Sealink car ferry can be seen plying its way to north Wales , UK with the Wicklow mountains where I live, and the County Wexford coastline 70 miles away being clearly visible, stretching away into the distance. Zooming in will show some great detail.

Im trying to compile a list of groups that dont use their own award system and dont have silly rules. If anyone can suggest some of these groups, it would be great. I have discovered about 45 so far which I use.
Hope your weekend is super!

An immature male broad-tailed hummingbird pauses, trying to decide where to begin feeding on this bee balm flower. He proceeded (as they always do) to hit each tiny "floweret" to get every little bit of nectar.
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

Where it all started, or where you can find out how it started.
There are stories that should not be forgotten... Well, perhaps we should never forget. From memories, from the past and from our history we learn. Today I begin to record the result of my investigations. A task that has taken me a year, a long year of wandering between the shelves of the Carnelian Archive, where all the Fairlands chronicles are kept. The dust, the smell of leather, paper and history have been my faithful companions in this search, which is now over. It was something personal, yes. It has already been lost in time and in the silence of my relatives over the years, but I needed to know the truth. And the truth, like a polished diamond with countless faces, is not as simple as they imagined. There is no good or bad, but a mixture of the two whose balance maintains the Universe. Anyway, this is not the time to ramble. I think I should pick up the scattered fragments, hinted at in these flickr posts, and tell the whole story, though maybe not the whole truth, who knows....
I knew her on flicker... She is taking pics with passion...
