The moon kept rising over Sargeant Bay Provincial Park. And as it did so the Beach became a treasure of foreground elements. A log that had washed up long ago retained a branch that was defying the odds and refused to lay done. That would be the element needed to finish the shot.
Although Haywood Oaks in Sherwood Forest is mainly a pine plantation, there are scattered veteran and ancient oaks persisting in the shadows. Haywood Oaks, Nottinghamshire, UK.
The defiance of the shoreline against the eternal pounding of the ocean, early on a warm summer morning. Strange to think that water beats rock, but given time...
The other day I was thinking that I needed some new shots as I was dormant while being sick for a month. So I went trail blazing down a favourite country road. I shot this one and I thought at first when looking on the camera that it was shit. I just viewed it on the computer and sort of like that it was a bit bleached. I gave it a small bit of Lightroom love and here you have it.
Happy Fence Friday
There was some new fencing out this way and think something is going to change. More aggregate or another subdivision.

Day #24 Defiance
In Defiance,
ferociously attacking every crevice,
searching for substance,
gripping the edge of the ridge
withstanding the wind, storms, snow, and heat
thrown against her
a tree stands alone, struggling each and every day to survive
while mankind battles both
inner and external turmoil
our tenuous transient existence forever in peril

A hoverfly (Eristalis arbustorum maybe? ID help always appreciated!) visiting the gorgeous dahlias in the Point Defiance Dahlia Trial Garden in Tacoma, Washington.
I had a blast shooting photos of this animal - she had such a frisky demeanor and was taunting the other horses in the pasture, running all around and even came over to see what I was doing. She was gentle too, gave my daughter a nudge and allowed her to stroke its nose. I love this shot with its ears back and tail in motion. Looked best in this effect too!
Continuing my never-ending queue of Point Defiance shots! A faded rose from the Point Defiance Rose Garden in Tacoma.
This, too, is from the archives, taken from my favorite rose garden, Point Defiance Park, located in Tacoma, Washington. I love how bright the yellow is, and the tinge of pink on the edges really adds something too! Hope you all enjoy!

I don’t normally post photos taken on my camera phone but here’s one.
It’s a solitary tree, almost stripped of its leaves, in front of Powerscourt Waterfall. It was taken earlier today when the waterfall was in full flow after several weeks of rain.

To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place. I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them." -- Elliott Erwitt
In the face of chilly conditions some colour still remained, defying the onset of winter.

Wonderfully contrasting colors on a dahlia at the Point Defiance Dahlia Trial Garden in Tacoma, Washington.
Another of my never-ending backlog of beautiful dahlias from the Point Defiance Dahlia Trial Garden in Tacoma, Washington.
I was in Potsdam, Berlin a few days ago, specifically in the business park that houses the Babelsberg Studio, and if you know your movie history you’ll know it’s relevance. The surrounding environment, much like Köpenick, is a treasure trove for Minimalist and industrial architecture. It was a perfect day for it, well-formed individualistic clouds, blue skies, bright and sunny, dry and warm. I snapped off quite a few until I got caught by security.
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! 😊
