Continuing a theme

Denver Botanic Gardens

I have taken this photo this afternoon (11/23/2021) from our dining area window in our apartment.

Captured this as this little guy finally reached the top !!!!!I\

Wil be away for the next week so will not be on the computer but wish you all a great weekend and I will try to catch up with you all when I get back…

Thanks everyone for your continued support !!!

Continuing on my clean up of the most recent images, still shooting and still staying safe.

Thank you for visiting and for all the very kind words, very much appreciated.

Continuing my Rome series:)

*********************************The so-called Tempietto (Italian: 'small temple') is a small commemorative tomb (martyrium) built by Donato Bramante, possibly as early as 1502, in the courtyard of San Pietro in Montorio. Also commissioned by Ferdinand and Isabella, the Tempietto is considered a masterpiece of High Renaissance Italian architecture.[4](WIKI)

Continuing down the county road in Texas Hill Country. First it was the cow going the opposite way, now I just stopped the car and watched as the donkey just kept walking closer and closer to me while I watched with amusement. Good think I wasn't in a hurry, lol. All in a day driving the back roads and looking for the spring wildflowers.

Continuing my homage to Maine...

…continues at the Pool, Central Park, New York

I continue to be in awe of the beauty I saw at Ox Bow Bend in Grand Teton National Park. Here is another look at this spectacular place. This image has a wider angle and less zoom than the one I posted several weeks ago. Any way you dice it, this is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Talk about a stress reliever.

Autumn Continues, although when I finally got out yesterday, I saw that the trees weren't nearly as full as they were last week

Back from the cottage gentrification project ready for the season and our isolation oasis I hope that you enjoy the continuation of my re-edit visit to the Netherlands from fall 2017 to continue on unabated until arriving in Amsterdam for my final post in the series.

Thanks for all the supportive comments on this Dutch Masters process development and those that just like to have something trying to be a little distracting in their feed other than today’s current events,

my goal is to hopefully trigger a memory or the want of a memory of someplace you would like to be.

As mentioned before my short break, Delft is where we will pick up my reverse chronological order Dutch revisit, captured here is what I thought to be Vermeer’s corner but now upon some reflection realize it is not his view but it is a view of Delft just the same and not a bad one.

Delft is an easy day trip from almost any location in the Netherlands making it an excellent day trip, the core is easily walkable, chock full of historic treasures, wonderful shops, warm cafes and beautiful views and should not be missed.

I took this on Sept 17th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 58mm 1/40s, f/16 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO

Disclaimer: My style is a study of romantic realism as well as a work in progress

Continuing on with my positive flags of the project of the nation.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜 💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️

I went back to visit the wasps nest five days later to see how the larvae were progressing. They became very protective this time. I made two photos and left them alone. The larvae have progressed tremendously.

* To continue our globetrotting we now arrive in the Lofoten Islands in Norway.

The drive through the Lofoten Islands from Solvar to Reine was full of interest. Lots of beautiful places to stop off at though time as ever was limited. I thought the little settlement of Hamnoy looked particularly attractive I could have done with more time to explore it properly. This is a view of the harbour of the village .

I must say that while Highland Scotland was stunning I still think the Lofoten Islands in Arctic Norway are the most beautiful place I have visited in Europe . Scotland does have one or two advantages though, its a lot closer and much cheaper to have a holiday in

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.

I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO

WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT

....the deconstructed birthday bouquet.

lumen color was adjusted using the scanning software.

Continuing on the theme of one sparrow a day this week, here is a beautiful Chipping Sparrow spotted near Nutter's Battery, Central Park, New York. They are now coming in increasing numbers...

Continuing my Woodland creatures series ... 😜

continues...

While many other places in the northern hemisphere are showing signs of warming weather, we continue to demonstrate why it is not the weather that drew us here. No, ironically we came for the jobs.

Continuing the White-tailed kite story, I missed the "food transfer" part of the story on this day. I saw the male go off to hunt, he immediately went into kiting mode (the hover) and I thought I had enough time to get more lined up for the prey transfer to his mate. Wrong. Missed it, he was fast and efficient. She flew to a nearby tree with it, then decided to dine closer to their nest. At least I was ready by then...

Framed in my last picture, this shows the trail continuing, hugging the lakeshore. If you look closely you can see a man and his dog.

We had some visitors last night - mom and dad western tanager and a couple of their youngsters. I had the feeling last year that one of the many western tanagers we saw during the spring had nested nearby. This year I am convinced that is the case. I was unable to get a shot of one of the adults feeding the "teenagers" (one shown here) so that will be my goal over the next week or so.

Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

Meanwhile, winter winds slammed Florida, driving wind surfers to don half wet suits.

sometimes the conditions determine our way...but not change!..

Continuing with the C-O-L-D theme...

This image was captured within minutes of yesterday violet-hued picture featuring the 'icebergs'. You can see the same-colored sky here.

At -10 below zero, the water near the shore has frozen and that is the blue and white ice here in the foreground. The darker blue on the horizon are the large waves rolling in the open water.

Fortunately the temperatures have moderated in the last few days and we feel warm at 25 f. :)

Enjoy the cold with me here!

c'est la vie...

The windmills are the quintessential features of Mykonos landscape. There are plenty of them that have become a part and parcel of Mykonos. Visitors to Mykonos can see the windmills irrespective of the locale. From a distance, one can easily figure out the windmills, courtesy of their silhouette. They are primarily concentrated in the neighborhood of Chora and some are also located in and around Alevkantra. These innovative wheels were primarily used for crushing agricultural yields. In all, there were 16 such windmills in operation.

They are conspicuous by their snow-white color, spherical shape with the customary pointed roof made of the finest variety of wood. In the good old days, they were wind operated as Mykonos is renowned for their gusty wind, which continues to blow even today. The Windmills of Chora and the ones at Ano Mera were a great boon to the people of those localities and they were primarily used for grinding the agricultural products that were meant to be transported to places outside Mykonos.

As of now, with the advent of modernity, the windmills are no longer operational. But they continue to be a symbol of Mykonos rich virile past. Being hundreds of years old, most of the windmills have been thoroughly renovated and some have even been converted into museums, the most famous being the Bonis Windmill.

Mykonos windmills are a living testimony of the island's use of innovation when it came to tapping the enormous power of the wind to grind Mykonos agricultural produces.

Continuing with the theme of fog, this Arbutus tree stands over the Salish Sea, and atop a small hill. It is slightly bent from the prevailing winds, and its red trunk shines brilliantly in the morning sunlight. However, with a palette of deep blue in the sky, and wondering fog, it looks somewhat stately.

We have been experiencing some unusual weather lately. But unlike so many places with fridgid temperatures, and knee deep snow, we have had a great deal of fog. While it is dangerous as a driver, it is a fun weather phenomena as a photographer.

After a brief stop for lunch, we meet up with the SB CWR again at Spence where they duck under a wooden bridge. This is one of the last wooden bridges within a couple hundred kilometers of Toronto. CP 6080 & 6045 continue their trek down the Mactier sub.

Continuing the Cityscape of Dubai is the final approach into our docking position, past the section of buildings that show the 'Twisted' Masterpiece in more of its glory.

Continuing a hot summer tradition.....posting a series of refreshing cold snowy images for a week or so. Sweaters recommended while viewing....

Banff's Lake Louise with a snowy border. No swimmers this day.

Thanks for taking a look! Always appreciated.

I didn't know about Willigis Jäger until recently when I started practicing with a local meditation group; they've become friends while I went through a rather difficult time and the regular Sunday evening practice became something to cherish and look forward to. Too little I know about Willigis Jäger, but I feel he would agree with Rupert Spira who a few days ago recorded this small but profound message:

youtu.be/WoYrKxoTsiU

the prayer I mean is not an asking for something, it is rather a withdrawing into one's inner silence, where the influence of senses and thoughts, through practice, become weaker and weaker ...

here is some more, for those inclined:

Apple Blossom time is here.

Let's continue with the trains from my brief but productive morning along the legendary former Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad. I've already shared a shot from Neabsco and trains 1, 2 and 8 that I shot here crossing Powells Creek at MP 84.7 on modern day CSXT's exceptionally busy RF&P sub.

Here is the third train we lensed here, and probably my favorite shot of the nine. This is CSXT train I032 a high priority intermodal running from Jacksonville, FL to North Bergen, NJ. The 1x1 DPU configured train is solid single stacks and TOFC due to the clearance restriction in Baltimore's Howard Street tunnel.

Ich möchte mich nochmals ganz herzlich an euch alle bedanken für die Unterstützung

Ansichten Favoriten und Kommentare, Bleibt alle gesund. ✌

This summer was very hot, long and harsh. I was worried whether we would see beautiful autumn leaves. However, the beautiful and long autumn leaves continued even at the end of December. The timing of autumn leaves may be changing due to climate change.

Thank you so much for "on Explore".

I made my "on Explore" album.

We continue to pray for those who are in Florida as this very dangerous storm moves across the state. My SL wife, Suzzie and one of our dear friends, MIssy, live along the east coast of Florida and are still in the path of this storm!

The Minster was undergoing significant works during our visit. Thankfully, this side entrance which protrudes out from the main building was not only pristine but also strongly lit. Very thoughtful of them.

Continuing where I left off at the last photo, this is the walking path along the beach from the parking lot to North Light. You can just discern the lighthouse in the distance. The atmosphere after sunset was unbelievable.

Works best when viewed in large.

Have a great Friday!
