I got up early and was hoping the sun would peep through a slot in the clouds! The water was perfectly still on Dubh Lochan, so for once I was ready, but it never really developed. The overriding colour was blue, which summed up the morning, I still like it though! The title is a beautiful track by Tom Waits, about a bird who falls in love with a fish, and the only way they can be together is through a reflection in the water!!
I was returning home after a mostly uneventful drive through the countryside looking for photo worthy scenes when I noticed this in the rearview mirror. (The "ground fog" in the lower valley is really gravel dust kicked up by my truck coming up the hill.)
Tenno (Trentino-Alto Adige)

Although there's very little ice on the water and absolutely no snow on the ground, the sky definitely says it's late fall in the Upper Mississippi River Valley. Taken in Goose Island Park, La Crosse County, Wisconsin.
This old one-room country school still sits along a country road. I took this a little over a month ago as the sun was setting and the nearly full moon was rising.
It has finally become obvious to me that if I am going to post any wintry photos, they will have to come from the archives. It definately feels like winter today (-5°F, -20°C), but very little snow this winter. Good for travel-bad for photo ops.
Busy day chasing storms in the Oklahoma panhandle! :) this was taken just east of Goodwell, Oklahoma
It seems like you only get these kinds of evenings in the Fall. On and off chilly rain during the day but as the cold front passes, the clouds break apart with magical light right at sunset. Taken in Goose Island Park, La Crosse County, Wisconsin.
Recently, and I apologize for not remembering who mentioned this, but I was asked if I'd seen trucks with the fangs grill, like the one in one of the horror movies. I do see them once in awhile and think they're stupid and create a bad public image. Aggresive driving is stupid, and doubly so by truckers. Imagine being involved in an accident with a fang grill cover on your truck. Not a good look in court.
I took this picture from my truck while I was parked at our Pacific WA drop yard behind the Freightliner dealership.
Still crazy busy with work. Picked up this morning at 2:30 AM in SoCal and will deliver Sunday at 1 AM in Boise Idaho. No rest for the wicked, but more good news pay wise. Getting a little more than 10 percent per mile pay increase beginning July 1st. With historic low unemployment trucking companies are doing all they can to keep their drivers. Oh, also beginning in July getting hourly paid for all time spent getting loaded and unloaded. Right now we don't get paid the first hour, and some companies don't pay until after the second hour. (Local drivers usually get paid hourly, but long haul drivers have traditionally been paid only for miles driven.)
Oh, and here's a link to my truck. Some have asked to see a picture of it.
A bit late but I did not manage to post it on the day! After the midday lunch on New Year's day we went for a walk along the bastions around Valletta. I couldn't help but take a photo of the setting sun.

My dad would have been 100 last week had he lived on past 59. A strange thought as I never got to see him as and old man. So much of my life he never got to share, including my children and my love of photography which he also loved. Boy would he have loved the digital age. Much more forgiving of all the mistakes that are laid bare in our old Polaroid and slide images!
As I have gotten older, I can see so much of his mother in me. Those Eastern European genes seem to have expressed themselves later in life.
I like to think he lives on in every sunrise and sunset.
This is the only sunset I attempted while in Far North Queensland. Exhaustion sets in early so that my Pjs and me have an early date every night ;-)
There were several other horses on the far side of the hill, but I'm glad this pretty white and black Appaloosa chose to be by itself up on the ridge. HFF
We have been hosting one of Miss Lily's friends she met at Uni in the UK. The timing hasn't been great as Miss had a thesis due and exams. On Sunday, he had to put up with the old farts while she studied and we took him to the place close to my heart to show him our Victorian Coast line- Phillip Island. It was safe to say he was impressed.
This was taken at Kilcunda, just upon sunset and I leached the last bit of light by sitting the camera on the steps railing to get a longer exposure. It was a stormy day but we were lucky with the weather.
There is alot of talk on social media about the role of the vagus nerve and it's use in helping with mood and anxiety. The vagus nerve acts as a communication pathway between the brain and the body, influencing mood, stress responses, and even the immune system.
I think if I could go for a walk along the beach everyday, I would be able to resent my vegus nerve to something more approaching calm.
A shot walking back from Temple Bay, with the cliffs, and storm clouds beyond, reflected in the wet sand.
The mighty Cul Mor taken from the cottage with my telephoto. This is a magnificent mountain that often gets overlooked because of the spectacular shapes of Stac Pollaidh and Suilven, but it is often more photogenic as it seems to attract amazing clouds! This was no exception, I called it Dracula, a favourite reggae track by the mighty Upsetters, because to me , I can see a winged bat flying off to the left of picture!!!!! or was it madness?
