Winter impression.
This is one the first photos I took at the start of the winter here medium december. The icy rain causes the texture.
Spring is definitely here now, it will be 16 degrees tomorrow ;-))
Ice-abstract.
I got a late start today, but I needed to get out. I went to my favorite butterfly field which has had an explosion of wild flowers in the last two weeks with all the rain we've had. There is nothing better than being in a field awash with waist high flowers at 1:00 PM in the afternoon when the temperature is 91 degrees F and the heat index is 100 degrees F, but this is when the butterflies are the most active. It is hard but I really do love it. There were dozens of long tail skippers, dusk wing skippers, gulf fritillary, clouded sulfur and tiger swallowtail.
Coffee break at the park in the middle of Manhattan ( 90 degrees ) nice and shady
Thank you for your friendly and kind comments on my works!.
Same night, same location as yesterday's image (turned around 180 degrees) - sometimes you need to spin the camara around.

Ring Necked Parakeets (Psittaclua kramen) are the new mob in town... six of them have taken over the woods where I live. The only thing is I live on the banks of the River Tyne in North East England which has a Latitude of 55 degrees north. New York is 40.7, Toronto is 43.7 and Montreal is 45.5, so they are lost.
They thought they could bully there way into the North East, unfortunately we have Ocean going Sea Gulls the size of Turkeys and the newcomers have to hide in the trees.
Rio Grande GP40-2s No. 3102 and 3125 pull the eastbound Railblazer up a 2% grade on the Soldier Creek fill at Gilluly, Utah the evening of July 2, 1987. Trailer shipments include Nashville & Ashland City Railway and Southern Pacific "Golden Pig Service", among others. In the background, US Highway 6 takes a short cut to Soldier Summit on a steeper 4% grade, a right of way used by the D&RGW until 1913, when a line change cut the grade in half.
I found these icicles on Cypress Mountain at around -10 degrees Celcius. 我在山頂找到這些冰凍的瀑布，晚間的氣溫應該在零下10度左右。感到寒意了嗎？
Frost's bolete is a widely distributed mushroom in the eastern and southwestern US. Boletes are classified as a groupd of mushrooms that produce their spores in tubular structures under the cap, rather than gills. Found growing in association with hardwood trees, especially oak. The network pattern of the stipe (the stalk) and the amber droplets produced along the cap in young fruiting bodies.

Ciudad Encantada, Cuenca, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
La Ciudad Encantada es un paraje natural español de formaciones rocosas calcáreas o calizas formadas a lo largo de miles de años. Se localiza cerca de Valdecabras, en el término municipal de Cuenca (España), en una amplia zona de pinares de la parte meridional de la serranía conquense y a una altitud de 1500 metros.
Fue declarada Sitio Natural de Interés Nacional el 11 de junio de 1929. La acción del agua, el viento y el hielo ha hecho posible este fenómeno kárstico. La heterogeneidad de las rocas en cuanto a su morfología, composición química y grado de dureza es lo que ha permitido el desgaste desigual de las mismas por los elementos atmosféricos, dando como resultado una muestra sorprendente de arte pintoresco proveniente de la misma naturaleza. A las caprichosas y espectaculares formaciones existentes hay que sumar lapiaces, torcas y sumideros.
Comparte estas características especialmente con "Los Callejones", paraje ubicado en el término municipal de Las Majadas. Ambos lugares forman parte del parque natural Serranía de Cuenca, creado mediante la Ley de la Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla-La Mancha 5/2007.
The Enchanted City is a Spanish natural area of calcareous or limestone rock formations formed over thousands of years. It is located near Valdecabras, in the municipality of Cuenca (Spain), in a wide area of pine forests in the southern part of the Cuenca mountains and at an altitude of 1,500 meters.
It was declared a Natural Site of National Interest on June 11, 1929. The action of water, wind and ice has made this karstic phenomenon possible. The heterogeneity of the rocks in terms of their morphology, chemical composition and degree of hardness is what has allowed their uneven wear by atmospheric elements, resulting in a surprising sample of picturesque art from nature itself. To the whimsical and spectacular existing formations we must add lapiaces, torques and sinkholes.
It shares these characteristics especially with "Los Callejones", a place located in the municipality of Las Majadas. Both places are part of the Serranía de Cuenca Natural Park, created by the Law of the Autonomous Community of Castilla-La Mancha 5/2007.
Forty-five degrees - melting snow - and a dry highway as Doc and I drove into Glennallen this morning. It feels and looks more like spring than winter - but we are truly grateful for the break. Next week the temperatures will drop down to single digits, and snow is predicted - until then we are enjoying our "spring break".
I took this photo of little Moose Creek this morning - notice that it is still open and running - that is quite unusual for this time of year. This is the same little creek that managed to flood everything in its path all the way to Glennallen during spring break up this year.
(Moose Creek heads in Twin Lakes and flows southeast through Glennallen, to Tazlina River, Copper River Basin (USGS).
As I share this it was over 60 degrees and rain here in New England, nearly a record for this date and decidedly unholiday like. So let's go back a few years and share another pic from my last week as a resident of the 49th State.
On the third week of December 2017 the ARRC dispatched a pair of geeps with Spreader 9 to work north winging out sidings over the course of several days. Frank Keller and I got an early start out of Anchorage and headed north on the desolate Parks Highway to meet up with the train just south of Broad Pass. We'd spend the entire day shooting the train working in subzero temps along only a dozen mile stretch of railroad. Although, in fairness on the day after winter solstice a 'full day' only amounts to just over 4 1/2 hrs between sunrise and sunset here at about 63 degreees north latitude!
The 'fleet' is seen here blasting north in a swirl of powder south of Broad Pass siding somewhere around MP 302. In just another 10 miles or so at aptly named Summit they will crest the highest point on the entire Alaska Railroad at the Northern Continental Divide (the watershed between the Arctic and Pacific Oceans). Considering that this wide valley (hence the name) is where the railroad crosses the Alaska Range, home of 20,310 ft Denali only 60 miles distant, it is utterly remarkable that the crest is only 2363 ft above sea level!

Pure Serendipity,
This is one of those lucky shots. I was taking a photograph 90 degrees to the right, when the sun came out of the clouds... but it was still raining, and I thought, "I wonder if there's a rainbow"? Sure enough, there it was! Turned the camera 90 degrees (180 from the sun) and this is what I got! I felt so lucky I almost cried.
My first rainbow shot.
Spring: 70 degrees and beautiful. The next day a foot of snow and it was still snowing when I took this.. Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
It really surprised me how cold it was in Lamar Valley. I'm no newbie to Yellowstone in the winter either.
I have so many things that bring me happiness, (pets, family...etc). but this morning all my other ideas took back seat. It was 61 in VT yesterday and freezing rain and snow (still snowing) today...9 degrees. I was without power until early this morning. When it came back on...I checked the freezer to see how my food was doing. There was Ben! :) I have 2 spoons...I can share. Happy Sos.
The six degree curve at the east end of Echo, Utah is the sharpest bend on the Union Pacific main line west of Omaha, Nebraska. Even when Harriman built a second main track through Echo in 1923, there was no practical way to reduce the curvature. The same sharpness applies to the parallel Lincoln Highway, and even Interstates 80/84. Slow down, people.
More than a century later, Union Pacific's hot Denver - Salt Lake City premium intermodal train navigates the restrictive, 35 mph curve through Echo on August 28, 2025. It won't be long before the ZDVSC 28 is back up to 70 mph.
The train had four clean winged GE locomotives. I have witnesses.
Winnebago River - Leland
This is our current north Iowa landscape along the Winnebago River. The low sun gives it a warm ambience, but with frozen ice and snow on the river surface.
The afternoon temperatures with sunlight reached about 30 degrees, but the very strong northwest wind of 25 to 35 mph gave it a very chilly feeling to say the least!

All light & rays are natural. On the 30th of April we had perfect conditions (about 3 degrees celsius, sun & fog), so i decided to take an early walk with my dogs on this Sunday. Now we have to wait here until fall to see this again.

For our american fellow : Yes, it is 9° of temperature. But, here in France, and almost everywhere outside the United States, we do use the Celsuis scale. 9°C is eq. to 48.2°F.
And I'm glad of it. :-)) 9°F would be eq. to -12,78°C.
I live in the french Normandy. That's right. We can have this kind of coldness, sometimes.
But not this year... :-))
En attendant, et pour nos amis francophones, le fait est qu'à 9°C, le temps est plutôt clément et la météo se prête à un bel exercice de lignes tout en diffusion de la lumière grâce au fameux ciel bas de ma contrée.... :-))
NNRy #40 and train just a few minutes after sunrise at Steptoe Creek. A sight to warm your heart if not the body on a frigid morning. Photos were worth the wait in the cold.
