It may seem like forever
But all hope's not gone
And when your melody stops playing
I hope you sing this song
I'd rather paint the world bright
Than see in black and white
It's never too late to look up
There's a place beyond the furthest cloud
There's a message in the wind
And when you dream that big
And you're not afraid to live
There's a place where all the stories begin
Begin with you and me
It is finely the beginning of waterfall season here in Minnesota which is always a very exciting time to me. I am reminded of how Christ makes everything new and breathes life into our dead lungs. For all things are made for Him and through Him which is stated in Colossians chapter 1. I am thankful for springtime and for warmer temperatures that are on the way. Have a blessed week everybody!
“It is better to spend one day contemplating the birth and death of all things than a hundred years never contemplating beginnings and endings.”

Stunning sunrise - Alberta Canada.
My camera has been in its case and I, for the most part, in a chair - just waiting for spring. The bears in Alberta and I definitely in hibernation mode this winter.
A difficult month with record breaking temperatures e.g. -35c -
Wishing you all....a HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING. Hope we all have good weather and lots of buds (beginnings).

“There's so much to write. Where should I start?
I texted my old Jiko this question, and she wrote me back this:

I'm sure most of you will have noticed by now that I'm shooting different subjects/styles. I love LE seascape work and the peace and tranquility that comes with being near water, but I'm feeling the urge to rebel and try my hand at other subjects (hence my deliberate move to explore other avenues of photographic expression). The tilt-shift/focus work I've been trying lately is really starting to resonate with me and I'm curious where this path will take me.
All comments, critiques and feedback both positive and negative welcome.
Patient Trust
Above all, trust in the slow work of God.
We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay.
We should like to skip the intermediate stages.
We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new.
And yet it is the law of all progress
that it is made by passing through some stages of instability—
and that it may take a very long time.
And so I think it is with you;
your ideas mature gradually—let them grow,
let them shape themselves, without undue haste.
Don’t try to force them on,
as though you could be today what time
(that is to say, grace and circumstances acting on your own good will)
will make of you tomorrow.
Only God could say what this new spirit
gradually forming within you will be.
Give Our Lord the benefit of believing
that his hand is leading you,
and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself
in suspense and incomplete.

New Beginning - I hadn't photographed Bald Eagles at all in 2022, so it was a nice surprise to see this one cruising by the hills while I was photographing waterbirds. I've always wanted to capture a photo of a Bald Eagle against the green/chaparral hillside, so it was nice to check that off during a gap in the rains.
This particular male's mate has gone missing. I hope he is able to find a female and nest successfully in the near future.
Species: Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)
Location: Santa Clara County, CA, USA
Date Taken: January 2023
Equipment: Canon EOS R5 + EF 100-400mm IS II + EF 1.4x Extender III
Settings: 1/2000s, ISO: 320, f/8 @560mm, Handheld, Electronic Shutter
An entire new beginning at our new place.

The buildings were both started in 1885 with the Jail opening in 1886 and the Court House in 1887. Originally, the Council had decided to open the buildings on the date of Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee which was June 22, 1887. It was suggested to allow $500.00 to pay for the festivities. However, the money was returned to a general fund as it was never spent because the buildings were opened instead on May 9, at the beginning of the spring assizes
George F. Durand was born in 1850 to Scottish parents. His artistic ability encouraged his father to enroll him in Peel’s Art School, London, where after two years of study, specializing in marble sculpturing, Durand began his studies in architecture in apprenticeship with London architect, William Robinson. After completing his apprenticeship, Durand moved to the United States, where he helped with the designs of the New York State Capital Building for a short time.

How cool it was to be together with friends shooting at locations personally never seen before. Well, honestly this spot here in the image is very iconic and so many times showed in so many different social media platforms. But I never was here at his area and therefore, despite all the images around the world from this place, I present this one here! It’s my humble image and my own vision from this place. The weather forecast predicted a lot of rain for this day and so it was! We were standing in front of this magical tree and the morning was only gray but with some breaks in the clouds to let pass a bit of light and converting the atmosphere into a magical drama. I decided to make a long exposure for this rainy and gray spot. I combined a polarizer with an ND-Filter (normally I never do that as I think more than one glass on the top of the lens is decreasing the quality of the image, but this is only my opinion). And this here is the result as you can see and I hope you like it.

I really do feel like the lines are beginning to blur. Wearing these N95 masks probably doesn't help with that. HMM!!
