Delightful glades scatter the park, from the fresh start of dawn when the dew doth glitter, to the stretched out shadows of early dusk.
Sunlight,dappled by leaves and boughs innocently grown in the light, play a game with the sun, the game of where light will be made, shifting murals of the pretty glade.
Ponder and stay awhile in these natural pools, they are like oases to refresh your spirit.
Photograph from an album for Quex House, Park, gardens and museum at the south-east of Birchington-on-Sea, East Kent England. The early 19th-century Regency house contains oriental and English period furniture. At the same time Quex Park was established by the landscaped amalgamation of two farms, and includes a retail and craft area with farm shop and restaurant, an adventure playground, and a garden with a Victorian walled garden. The Powell-Cotton Museum, conjoined to the house, is an accredited museum housing nine galleries three of which display stuffed animals, of more than 500 African and Asian animals set against dioramas of natural habitats. The other galleries exhibit African artefacts, European firearms, European and Asian cutting weapons, European and Chinese porcelain, archaeological finds from Thanet and East Kent, and photographic records. The total number of artefacts has not been counted, although the ethnography items alone total approximately 18,000. The Powell-Cotton Museum has won awards including the "UK's most inspiring museum in 2014" in the Museum and Heritage Awards. __________________________________________________

... as I sat beside the lake. I found the perfect place for contemplation, to gather my thoughts and dreams ♥
This is number two, continuing from yesterday on the beautiful Pinery, a Carolinian Forest in southern Ontario. This park is on the shores of Lake Huron, and is open all year. A river runs through it, and there is deep forest, huge sand dunes, and a pristine lake shore. Some of the most exquisite sunsets are seen here over the Lake.
Deer are plentiful, as are many birds.

The snowdrops really have broken through now, shortly followed by the crocuses and the daffodils. Spring really does seem to be coming early in this part of the world.
I was mesmerized by the dancing shadows and light where the sunshine penetrated through the trees on the edges of the woodland, There was a strong wind and Loxley woods was sparkling
:-)
The autumn colours have been especially vibrant this year. I wanted to capture those in my local woods before they finished and waited for an appropriately sunny day. Woodland photography can be difficult but nothing grows around this beech tree, making it easier to get a shot where it stands out against the background.

The mottled shade and specular highlights and shadows across the autumn leaves were far better than I could capture on the walk.
WABI SABI.Wabi-sabi (侘寂?) represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, asperity (roughness or irregularity.In one sense wabi-sabi is a training whereby the student of wabi-sabi learns to find the most basic, natural objects interesting, fascinating and beautiful. Fading autumn leaves would be an example. Wabi-sabi can change our perception of the world to the extent that a chip or crack in a vase makes it more interesting and gives the object greater meditative value. Similarly materials that age such as bare wood, paper and fabric become more interesting as they exhibit changes that can be observed over time.[citation needed] Thanks WIKI,!
Beautiful sunny, crisp and cold morning on my way into work today. I've photographed these big yellow things (whatever they may be - something to do with the Crossrail development at Moorgate is all I know) before, but how could I resist the beautiful dappled light on the side of these buildings. I also like the various layers in this image. The work going on at the right and bottom of the photo is all part of the Moorgate Exchange building project.
In other news, I've been like a kid waiting for the much-promised snow...!
The Regional Parks Botanic Garden is located in Tilden Regional Park in the hills above Berkeley, California. The garden features native California plants from around the state. At one point on my walk through the park, I stopped for awhile to study a line of ants walking up and down a manzanita tree.
The View is big, the view is large, the Derwent flows, the rocks are looming and the trees cascade, its the sound, of nature.
I've started doing my usual rounds, visiting favourite spots for the first time this season and watching for signs of life. No odos to report yet, although a Large Red has already been spotted in Hampshire. Butterflies today. Seen all hibernating species over the course of an hour on Friday up country and since down here. Now it's time for those early spring emergences.
No looking for needles in haystacks though. It was precisely that which caused me to bring to a close last season. I'd rather have reasonable numbers to keep me occupied.
In the meantime here's a Chaffinch from Sunday, which has turned out to be one of my favourite shots of this delightful species
