Happy Valentine's Day for you!
I don't need red roses (from Africa), I like almost all spring bloomers, as well as this perennially blooming cliff maid :-)

Sandstone Cliffs, Autumn. Capitol Reef National Park, Utah. October 20, 2014. © Copyright 2014 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Evening light on the autumn sandstone landscape of Capitol Reef National Park, Utah
I began this fall season visit to Utah in the far southwest corner of the state, making Kanab my base for the first few days. There I explored various valleys and canyons, mostly improvising an itinerary as the mood struck me. I returned there to a few places I had visited in the past and also visited a few new places. After a few days here I took a back-route up to Capitol Reef where I would meet up with my friend and fellow photographer David Hoffman.
I arrived at Capitol Reef in the afternoon, found Dave's campsite (he had arrived earlier) and set up my tent. As I recall, we were unable to resist the lure of the nearby place selling home-made pies, and it wasn't until late in the day that we decided to make a quick run for some sunset light. We found it quickly — the location of our campground is just out of sight to the right around the bend in the road running up this valley. Because the landscape tilts up to the west here, the sunset seems to come a bit earlier than I would expect, and we were barely in time of catch this light before the valley fell into shadow.

Somehow, no visit to Bridgnorth is complete without a trip to the Cliff Railway - opened in 1892 and still going strong today.
I see there's a vacancy for a relief operator in the window - heck, I'd almost work there for nothing!

These two formations look like they could join together and close the path ahead.

South Stack, Anglesey, Wales
South Stack is an island situated just off #HolyIsland on the northwest coast of #Anglesey. It is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular #SouthStackLighthouse. The cliffs are 130m high on average. Standing here you can see sea traffic in the Irish sea between Belfast and Liverpool and Cardiff. The jagged rocks and monoliths at the base offer a spectacular view with shallow, emerald waters - and are as deadly should you trip and fall.
These #Precambrian cliffs are one of my favourite in the whole of UK, and are home to some of the most important sea bird colonies in #Wales. During June and July the sea cliffs here are packed with sea birds - mainly auks including puffin, razorbill and guillemot.
From the cliff tops here you can look down and watch the birds swimming, as they fly underwater in search of fish and sand eels.
During the breeding season up to 3,000 Guillemots and 700 Razorbills will nest here, precariously balancing their eggs on the narrow ledges.
You'll also find a small Puffin colony here and predatory Great Blacked-backed Gulls swooping down to grab chicks from any unattended nests.
Aside from the bird life, #SouthStack is also famed for its plant life and one plant in particular, can only be found here in the whole of Britain.
The plant in question is known as the Spathulate Fleawort and is a rather plain yellow flower, not dissimilar to a tall daisy with yellow petals. You'll find it growing along the edges of the sea cliffs, so tread carefully.
Langdon Cliffs.
There have been a lot of corn buntings around this last week. The one under the farm gate was very confiding. The shot in the dried grasses was a bit of an experiment to see whether I could focus through all the grass stems.
I have always thought that sign would make more sense if it was in braille. I mean, if you can see the sign, you should also be able to see the cliff. Right?

Mesa Verde's (and North America's) largest cliff dwelling. Mesa Verde was the first stop on my summer road trip through southwest Colorado. I was lucky enough to catch a break between tours for this shot. The only way to get up close to these dwellings is to go on a ranger-led tour, during which they discuss some really interesting information about the Ancestral Pueblo people that used to live here. It was discovered in the late 1800s and since then has undergone fairly significant reconstruction. If you go back to look at some photos from the late 1800s and early 1900s you can really see how much they've cleaned it up.

Friends,
Today was my birthday so I felt compelled to get out and get a couple of shots in especially with some cloud cover in santa cruz. It looked promising but once arriving to my destination, I was a little disappointed with the outcome. Nevertheless, it was time to explore different vantage points. I am well aware that I broke a big rule of composition here by leaving the horizon in the middle. I wanted to include as much as the sky as possible and also include the rock on the bottom left which helps lead the eye. I guess rules are made to be broken once in a while. Have a great weekend everyone!!
