Dappled light on an old oak in Daley Ranch, San Marcos, California.
I am drawn to the vignette of the branches and leaves on the left side of the main trunk, but I don't feel like the image is balanced. The uncropped image was worse, so at least this is an improvement, but i'm still thinking about this one...

One of many peaches ripening on our big fruit tree. It's the best year ever for this tree. I'm hoping the squirrels and yellow jackets don't destroy them as they've done in the past.

Although Finnish Citizens the Skolt Sámi lived in the border areas between Evangelical Lutheranism and Russian Orthodoxy. They used the Roman alphabet but followed more ethnically Russain customs than any other Sámi groups in Lapland.
During the Second World War the Soviet Union invaded Finland capturing Finnish territory in northern Lapland where the Skolt Sámi lived. The Finnish government evacuated them to central Finland during the fighting and after the war resettled them in the area along the Russain border as close as possible to their old territory which was now inside the Soviet Union. These Sámi are the most ethnically and linguistically marginalised of all the Sámi groups in Finland. There are only about 400 speakers left of Skolt Sámi in Finland and about 30 - 40 left in their old Russian territories.
Captured at the Vallarta Botanical Gardens outside Puerto Vallarta, this moment of sunlight filtering through the jungle canopy brings a spotlight to a single graceful palm. The delicate lighting reveals the quiet elegance and layered textures of the tropical forest understory.
Summertime in the Sierra Mountains. Cold, windy, and unpredictable weather in late June. Next week it will be in the 90's. I've worked nearly every day for a month straight and most of those days are 13-14 hours. When I finally had a day off I needed to get into these mountains.

Title borrowed from an episode of "Tales of the Unexpected", a TV show aired in the UK between 1979-1988. The series began as adaptions of short stories written by the author Roald Dahl, probably better known for his children's novels.
The sun was out today so I ventured into the garden for this shot ... I personally don't like the light in this ... all uneven but the sun was beautiful.
The Wild Swans At Coole
THE trees are in their autumn beauty,
The woodland paths are dry,
Under the October twilight the water
Mirrors a still sky;
Upon the brimming water among the stones
Are nine-and-fifty Swans.
The nineteenth autumn has come upon me
Since I first made my count;
I saw, before I had well finished,
All suddenly mount
And scatter wheeling in great broken rings
Upon their clamorous wings.
I have looked upon those brilliant creatures,
And now my heart is sore.
All's changed since I, hearing at twilight,
The first time on this shore,
The bell-beat of their wings above my head,
Trod with a lighter tread.
Unwearied still, lover by lover,
They paddle in the cold
Companionable streams or climb the air;
Their hearts have not grown old;
Passion or conquest, wander where they will,
Attend upon them still.
But now they drift on the still water,
Mysterious, beautiful;
Among what rushes will they build,
By what lake's edge or pool
Delight men's eyes when I awake some day
To find they have flown away?
William Butler Yeats
Nothing original about this one - tighter framed shot of the main 'falls @ Aira Force taken handheld with the 70-200 whilst trying to arrange the family for a shot. Quite like the dappled light
Pentax Q -Som Berthiot 12.5 mm D mount f1.8/Reeds growing in my little pond for the pobblebonk. Bokehlicious.
Ok, so here's something a little stronger and more in keeping with my usual fare. I keep forgetting to post this, but I do quite like it actually. Once of my better recent shots!
