One of my huge peony buds covered in water drops after a morning shower. You can see the refraction of the hanger from a hanging flower basket in the big droplet...it kind of looks like a hook ;-) Please view large.
Have a great Saturday and awesome weekend, my friends!
The stretch of Route 1 through the rugged Big Sur Coast is, probably, the most beautiful road I've had the pleasure of driving along. The views are fascinating, and every turn (and there are many) opens up a new perspective. It is a very slow road, and not just because of twists and turns, but also because I feel compelled to stop every few minutes and take pictures or just enjoy the scenery.
Bixby Creek Bridge, seen at the right of the image, is essentially the Northern entrance to the fascinating Big Sur Coast area. Before the opening of the bridge in 1932, residents of the Big Sur area were virtually cut off during winter due to blockages on the often impassable Old Coast Road, which led 11 miles (18 km) inland. The bridge, at 360 feet (110 m), was the longest concrete arch span on the California State Highway System. It is one of the tallest single-span concrete bridges in the world. [Wikipedia] The whole road through Big Sur is an amazing feat of engineering.
I liked the way the foliage framed this upper portion of Rainier's Narada Falls. This is perhaps half of the fall's 168 foot (51 m) tumble. Taken in mid-September when flow was lower. Really roars come spring.
This is the largest waterfall on the Paradise river. A great example of a horsetail waterfall.
"The name Narada was proposed by Arthur F. Knight and adopted in 1893 for the Narada branch of the Theosophical Society of Tacoma. Narada is a Hindu word meaning 'uncontaminated' or 'pure'. Early variants on the spelling include Neradah, and the common mistake of Nevada Falls.
Curiously an 1897 map produced by Henry Sarvant and G.F. Evans marks a "Big Paradise Falls" along the Paradise River which is assumed to represent Narada Falls." worldwaterfalldatabase.com
Just one of the many impressive waterfalls at Rainier National Park.
Big Eyes are watching us......... alien?......or in disguise?.......
For the Macro Mondays theme: “Speckled”.
Covered the the lens with a kind a textured glassine paper and got this result. You could get the same textured result by using an artificial texture in PS or Lightroom or an other program, but this is an easier way to do ;-))
Happy Macro Monday everyone!
This one week old Black Skimmer chick just did the impossible. It swallowed a Needle Fish almost as long as him. I have the sequence of the entire ordeal, but this is the end.
Mother Nature never stops amazing me.

We were driving on Highway 2 towards Spokane and passed the sunflowers-turned around to take pictures. It was only then that we saw the abandoned farmstead in the distance.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES

Big brother to Yan and sister Smudge.
So friendly that all the neighbours know him. Some of them have had him follow them into their house and sleep on their beds!
Great meerkat impersonator, standing on his hind legs in greeting.
Formidable hunter. Soon to celebrate his 8th Birthday and still has random kitten like moments chasing his own tail and falling off the stairs
