Looking down into the valley from the oak tree on the Iron Age ramparts, Ham Hill Country Park, Somerset. A frosty morning in March.
Returning from a walk across the fields in Ham Hill Country Park, the light across this field caught my eye and I took this photograph to capture a moment of beauty.
The last of the mist through the trees at the bottom of Witcombe Valley as the sun breaks through on a February morning.
The Rebirth in the garden has started!! This variety of adorable tiny Crocus always appear first in the garden every Spring , together with the golden ones! Yesterday it was a sunny day , and I could not resist searching for Spring models, although I still feel very weak...
***Wishing you a lovely new week!!
One biggest water facilities made by man on the balkans. Three villages were barried under it with the houses. When the water level is low there is a church that could be seen on one end. During winter its place for some birds that are trying to survive.
Early spring in Bow Pass. Wet snow had fallen overnight, and flurries were still drifting down, when this young Grizzly Bear materialized as if by magic in a grassy, flowery meadow.
"Young"... on its own, and from its size I would guess 3-4 years old. Although size was difficult to measure. It looked huge at first. Then I realized I've seen much larger grizzlies. Then it walked past my car at close range - I could have reached out and touched it but instead I rolled my window up - and it was HUGE. But everything is relative. Another factor, of course, is that early in the season all bears are relatively slim. Relativity. It's so easy to understand, if you're Einstein.
Anyway, this hungry griz was having a wonderful time enjoying the salad greens and digging up tasty roots, on a cool morning in June with almost no traffic on the road. It kept an eye on me, but I didn't get out of the car - no need to. The light was perfect. And I had already been out, crawling in the wet, wet snow, trying to photograph avalanche lilies, not knowing that a great wildlife encounter lay just ahead. One more reason to get up early!

Winnebago River - Leland
The river reflection and time of day created very deep blues towards the north. A little trace of snow from the night before, but melting away quite quickly!
The calendar says spring, the weatherman claims spring . . . now we need Mother Nature to agree!

An Ash Tree on the Iron Age Ramparts, Ham Hill Country Park, Somerset. I took several pictures on a windy March, when the clouds were moving rapidly across the evening sky.
Yet another daylight long exposure landscape shoot - I am quickly becoming addicted to daylight long exposure! Manual mode same as last to get more experience. I chose f/16 to allow for the exposure time I wanted (15-20 secs)
Thanks again to Adam and his Landscape Masterclass at First Man Photography - without that I really wouldn't have considered going manual and not even gotten the shot because going through that masterclass has made me rethink how I shoot landscapes. I am still learning; I still struggle when looking for interesting subjects and also the composition. Also, ISO, aperture and shutterspeed is something I still need to incorporate into my workflow for each shot because I tend to forget checking and setting them. Heh.
