On Yavapai Point I made another attempt at star photography. This is a challenge to get right. I tried various ISO settings and illuminated the dead tree with a little Lumen light covered with several thicknesses of handkerchief. Not sure what is causing the light on the rim in lower left middle. Might be the lights of Page, Arizona. It's quiet after the sun goes down and all the tourists leave. The canyon is beautiful too, although you can barely see it. Will keep trying. Unfortunately, this is not the time of year to get the Milky Way. But it is still fun to shoot the stars.

We got up before dawn on our last day at Moab, to go back to Arches. The weather did not look too good as we ate a great breakfast at the Moab Diner (Highly Recommended). It started to lighten up though and we went into the park in the poor visibility of the low hanging cloud. When we got into the Windows area of the park, we were greeted by an other-worldly and astonishingly beautiful scene. I will post a few photos and hope I can convey some of he magic. Margaret and I will never forget this morning.
Weir Lake, on the eastern slope of Table Mountain in the Eastern Sierra range of California is really a small pool along the South Fork of Bishop Creek flowing from South Lake.
At roughly 9500' of elevation, this location is often snow covered by mid-Autumn, though at this time, there was little snow, and plenty of cover. It was nice to experience some colors of fall, having grown up on the East Coast where Autumn is much more vibrant and varied in its hues.
Congrats on Explore!

This Nature trail area (photo taken in Dec.2024) of Lake St. Clair Metropark once was fairly densely forested, adjacent to a wetland. All of the trees in this picture may end up in the canal with their neighbors that already left the stand. All of the trees with white trunks in the background are devoid of bark and are certainly dead.
Three years ago, a park ranger told me that they are Sycamore trees that shed their bark. (They are certainly not Sycamore trees, or any other tree that sheds bark. Most are maples, oak and poplars.). Another explanation for the die-off was that heavy rainfall of previous seasons flooded the forests and that the trees did not survive.
It looks like a piercing stare, but it was really just a glance in my direction from about 100 feet away.

Ho sempre ammirato gli alberi pionieri in montagna, sono figli del vento che li ha portati lassù, e poi hanno imparato a lottare contro le avversità climatiche vivendo anche a lungo.
Una volta arrivati alla fine stanchi ed esausti, hanno il privilegio di sopravvivere alla morte mostrandosi ancora in tutta la loro selvaggia bellezza.
Questo abita a 1100 metri di altezza ai margini di un passo appenninico.
Heroic and proud
I have always admired the pioneer trees in the mountains, they are children of the wind that sowed them up there, and then they learned to fight against climatic adversities even living for a long time.
Once they arrive at the end tired and exhausted, they have the privilege of surviving death by still showing themselves in all their wild beauty.
I met this at an altitude of 1100 meters on the edge of an mountain pass.

When hiking up this hillside I came across this old dead tree. It is somehow simultaneously in keeping with the aesthetic of the landscape, and yet contrasts so much as something dead in a landscape that is so very alive.
I took this photograph with a very shallow depth of field to attempt to draw the eye to the tree as it's subject, while also contrasting the smooth soft focus with the sharp twigs and branches on the tree.
This small dead tree was a perfect staging spot for several species of birds feeding their recently fledged young. Among them were these Cedar Waxwings.

……… No problem - good to see some trees being left for nature to ‘tidy up’ as part of the ecosystem allowing the myriad fauna & flora to thrive - well done N/T. Taken at Attingham Park (N/Trust) a few days ago. Alan:-)…….

La noirceur des acacias morts est dû au fait qu'ils ont été brûlés par le soleil
The blackness of dead acacias is due to the fact that they have been scorched by the sun
I've been looking at this dead Oak tree at Croome Park for a while, convinced there was a photo in it. On a misty evening with some decent colour in the sky and the Malvern Hills in the distance, this opportunity presented itself. Hope you like it.
A painterly version of a photo posted earlier, this digitally enhanced image done for Sliders Sunday shows a Red-bellied Woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus) just after he had found a treat in a dead tree stump. While the original image showed a winter scene, I decided to warm things up just a bit with the background in this one. :-)
The original image is in the first comment.
