Lisbon’s Avenida da Liberdade (Freedom Avenue or Independence Avenue) must surely be one of Europe’s finest boulevards. It was created in 1879-82 in the style of the Champs-Elysees in Paris, and its tall elegant trees provide welcome shade for walkers, cyclists and people relaxing at café tables or by fountains. Many of the buildings along the way are in the Art Nouveau style (such as this one), which adds an extra delight for the visitor.
The statue here is of Oliveira Martins (1845-94), a politician and social scientist who worked for Portugal’s leading literary, scientific, political and socialist journals. He was considered to be one of the key figures in the contemporary history of Portugal, and his work influenced generations of writers, including today’s.
This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy.

A creek flows through Glacier Peak Wilderness in Washington. A little ways off trail we found this great section devoid of excess debris just as the morning sunlight found it's way through the forest canopy. There was little time to take this before the nice highlights would become large hot spots. This was early in our day to hitting the 3k+ foot hike up the pass in hot weather. I was glad we took this photo break before heading into the heat.
Typically I look for more simplicity in my compositions as this has a somewhat "busy" feel yet this morning I preferred a more visually complex scene. To me the warm light on the forest is a nice compliment to the cool water and rocks.
Here, you can better see the colour palette in the area for all of the buttes, which from the top down, is orange, pale yellow and blue-grey. With the cloudy day, we could get the wonderful dappled light on the peak of the butte but the window was short. Seconds later, the butte was shrouded in clouds and it had all gone dark.
Another little guest at Harrison's Christening. So many sweet children.
(Wow - I'm really on an Explore roll here. LOL. Little Abby reached #113 on July 23rd.)
Flew the drone over our neighborhood for a Midday flight. Captured video and a few photos.

This is not a particularly unique bird, but I like this because it had an almost ominous feel to it!
Broad-leaved Helleborine / epipactis helleborine. Cromford, Derbyshire. 19/07/18.
'WAITING IN THE SHADOWS ... THE BEST YET TO COME.'
The unmistakable form of a newly emerging Broad-leaved Helleborine in an image I made last summer. Several of it's buds were just visible and the hairy 'fuzziness' of the drooping raceme was highlighted where the light struck it.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
Here is a pic i took of Trev whilst on one of our woodland dog walks. In hand is his camera .... as always!
Redwall Limestone is the red-orange cliff just below center. It's vertical in most parts of the Grand Canyon, and often includes huge amphitheatres like that at the right. It's hard to fathom from this view, but the Redwall is roughly 500 feet high!
Taken from Nankoweap Creek, on our way back to camp, the one layover day on our trip. Nice not to have to break down and set up camp for once! The Colorado River, an olive green here, is barely visible at the bottom center. This view shows all the layers above Redwall that are also familiar in the center of the park. The yellowish formations at left and right are on the flanks of Nankoweak Creek, and are an unusually steep section of Bright Angel Shale, which is a broad, rolling platform at the park center. The Redwall is naturally a greenish-gray, but is stained red by iron oxides washing down from the Supai formation above. The true color can be seen in the light-colored places where runoff from above can no longer stain it, but the rock still erodes.
... discovered that one of our pine trees has taken on the (slightly startled) appearance of a LOTR ent!
Spotted Flycatcher / muscicapa striata. 07/06/18.
'LOOKING SKYWARDS'.
On a wild and very blustery autumnal day, it's nice to look back at this image of calmer times! BEST VIEWED LARGE.
The Spotted Flycatcher sat on one of its favoured perches looking skywards. There were no shortage of flying insects for it to take.
The dramatic light continued for the rest of the day and I was largely focused on scouting out locations rather than doing much photography.
This, I couldn't pass up however. The light was really working it's magic on Grindslow Knoll, I got my foreground exposures taken (I always focus stack) and took a dozen or so shots of the background as the shape of the dappled highlights was in constant motion. I picked this one as my favourite. On another note, it really is that insanely green out on the Peak at the moment!

For today's image I thought I'd post one from last Autumn showing the dappled light through twisted oak trees on Dartmoor. I thought the warm dappled light harmonized with the orange and rust coloured leaf fall, and the cool rushing water complimented these tones.
Cave Dale Hike Pt.4:
Having admired Mam Tor from below, I set to climbing the steep route up the southern edge of the collapsed section of the hill. This route provided an amazing up-close view of the geology of the hill and a stunning vista across Windy Knoll and towards Eldon Hill.
The weather had turned overcast and for the preceding hour it looked like the light was going to remain flat, the cloud eventually broke in dramatic fashion spilling dappled golden hour light across the land below. A hectic set-up ensued and I was lucky enough to pretty much have a ready-made composition in front of me; with nice lines coming in from the right and a few layers within the landscape to add some depth.
