A rather turbulent looking and somewhat elongated cloud, skirts the surface of the ocean and touches the crest of Pender Island. Above and behind, the swift moving higher clouds also reveal a warm light. Just another pleasant day in Sechelt with some new discoveries including a lone duck.
Ce que j'apprécie par-dessus tout, c'est ce genre de découverte: on ne touche à rien, hormis à son obturateur, puis on laisse errer ses pensées - ses pensées nomades en l'occurrence.
Mais ici je ne peux m'empêcher de penser à toutes ces âmes meurtries laissées pour compte. Et encore une fois, le temps, comme la marée-haute, effacera ces âmes perdues à jamais.
What I appreciate above all is this kind of discovery: you don't touch anything, except your shutter, and then let your thoughts wander - your nomadic thoughts in this case.
But here I can't help but think of all those bruised souls left behind. And once again, time, like high tide, will erase those lost souls forever.
Of all the walks you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt - John Muir.
A weekend stroll through the woods of the Parkville Nature Sanctuary. It was getting a bit late in the evening. The heat and humidity has been brutal around these parts forcing me to wait even longer to venture out. The great thing about photography is that you can walk the same path countless times, but by changing your focus you can see it a new light. Discovery.

X The sculpture is in the Belem district of Lisbon it’s called in English “ Monument to the discoveries” it was constructed in the 1960s to mark the 500th anniversary of the death of Henry the Navigator a Portuguese seafarer. The bridge in the background is the suspension bridge over the Tagus River.

The new V&A Museum of Design takes shape next to the Discovery historic ship. Unfortunately only my mobile phone with me at the time.
Understanding my roll.
When our first grandchild was born, my son’s family was stationed at NAS Pax River Maryland. We made the drive from Indiana to Maryland as often as possible and they the reverse. August was a beautiful baby boy who looked and acted like every other baby…like a little humanoid who had lots of intake and the smelliest of outgo. When it comes to babies…until they are old enough and can be responsible for their own head and neck, well let’s just say that holding one makes me as nervous as being wrapped up like a mummy utilizing live Boa constrictors! Scratch that as it is an exaggeration…I would prefer the boa’s!
I do not remember his exact age but I would guess it was around a year and a half old and they were in town for a visit. It was a beautiful spring/summer day and August and I were walking around the front yard, just exploring and enjoying time together. As we walked hand in hand, we came upon a bush. I have no idea what type of bush it was, even though it was part of our landscaping. It was both yellow and green, the type that looked a bit sharp but wasn’t.
We stopped and were looking at the bush when August without a word spoken looked up into my eyes. Instantly I knew his question and I said “You can touch it.” He gently reached out and started feeling the texture of a single branch, and smiled. It was at that exact moment, as if hit by lightning, that I felt like a grandfather for the first time…accepting responsibility for one of my roles in his life, to assist with discovery.
Fast forward seven years and I am at Custer SP photographing bison when I notice this little one. Its nose was inches from the ground and a few feet away from a lone blue flower. It moved from side to side, eyed fixed on the flower as if it was wondering what it was…a bit curious, a bit hesitant. A few seconds passed before it worked up the courage to approach the flower. When it bowed down to ascertain its fragrance, I took this photo.
Watching this bison reminded me of the thrill, the absolute blessing of discovery…making this shot a personal favorite from this trip!

Mother Nature can be so beautfiul. But sometimes it can be very dangerous to be ouside at the wrong place to the wrong time. First i didn´t belived what i saw.

#Week 27: Discovery
Seaside rock pools host a variety of smaller animals and plants just waiting to be discovered during coastal rambles. These Zebra Snails are making their own discoveries as they wander around a pool at Merewether, Newcastle.
Baby Brian is being a highly uncooperative specimen!
For Macro Mondays theme 'Gift'. The gift here is not the snail, but my precious microscope. It was given to me by my grandparents when I was a young child - they had had a veterinary student lodger renting a small flat above their garage who suddenly vacated the flat when the rent was due, leaving behind a number of possessions that presumably were too difficult to carry easily. One of things left behind was this microscope, clearly a quality and valuable instrument so it is curious that it would be left behind. Recognising my interest in the natural sciences, my grandparents gave me his microscope, that came with slides and eyepieces - it was a excellent source of discovery that lasted all through my school days until I went off to university. I still have the microscope, but it doesn't get taken out of its case very often any more - although I did have fun photographing it for a photography course, see the first comment box. The 4X is the magnification power of one of the objective lenses, it is 1.8cm in diameter.
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
I generally don't post travel shots but I had the opportunity to visit the Smithsonian air museum outside of Washington DC recently as part of my brother's 40th. The highlight of the trip (although there were many) was by far seeing this amazing piece of engineering and history in person. I don't tend to take museum shots, but I simply couldn't resist this one. Standing beside this feat makes all of my problems seem so small when you think about the fact that we are lucky to be floating on a rock in the unlimited cosmos.
This is a panorama - of 8 Full Frame A7rIII shots - talk about making my computer sweat when merging. That is why there are few angles that aren't "perfect" with this image, but I still love how it came out.
