Soaproot is a California native plant used by various indigenous tribes for soap, food, medicine, brushes, and a toxin to stun fish, enabling an easy catch. It blooms at the end of the day, and the bees also enjoy its nectar. These soaproot plants, seen in Bidwell Park in Chico, grew tall and thick because of all the rain this year. They reminded me of fireflies as the light of day faded in the forest.
Last of the sunset light creeping up the hillsides (of the Pap, and Sgorr nam Fiannaidh) behind Ballachulish and Glencoe village in Scotland. This would be a glorious view when the loch is calm enough for a mirror reflection!

Reedy flat really is the most beautiful place in the evening. Skylarks singing, lapwings ooeeing, snipe drumming and ducks and shorebirds preparing for either migration or roosting. These blackwits were roosting.

Last evening at Elk Island we were treated with a wonderful sunset. It was so peaceful and quiet there that we were quite reluctant to leave when the show was over. There was a flock (? - how do you call a gathering of wild geese?) of wild Canada geese, preparing, no doubt, to fly away south in a few weeks. They were taking a "stroll" on the Astotin Lake and after they were done and got closer to the shore decided to take an evening bath, cleaning their feathers and submerging in water washing the daily dust of their bodies. Already, even before the sun set, the mists have risen from the water and were hugging the shores. Quite a magical hour, I must say. So very lucky to have this so close to home!!!!
Late sunlight through the cherry blossom. This version of the new film can tend to blow out in the highlights a bit, but that just makes the blossom look like a cloud...

I occassionally get asked by friends whether there is actually any colour in Wales (and people)! Well I can't answer both of those questions with this photo but hopefully I can dispel the myth that I live in a monchrome world.
This photo is really a reminder for me that you just have to keep trying your best to get out, even if at times it doesn't seem like it'll be worth it. I had my best pout on yesterday evening as the rain came down around 7pm and looked set to scupper my plans to get out. Eventually it cleared though and I convinced my (lovely!) wife to ferry me around. I didn't really know what to shoot and the first place I stopped really didn't offer anything. So I figured I'd head back to the breakwater and see if there was much on offer near this new landing point. I thought it was going to be another fruitless evening as the bright sunshine was lovely to stand in but it's angle made it difficult for me to get any kind of composition. However just as it started to set the opportunity to take this shot made itself available.
I think this is a real success for my new filters. Without the grad NDs, I'm not sure I'd have managed to get the balance right. I'm really enjoying using them and they're less of a fiddle than I expected.

We had a gorgeous double rainbow today. Here's one of the two! No color changes in post besides brightness and black levels.
A nice chance to switch back to my 18-55mm kit lens, which is a strong performer. As the light was falling and the rainbow was hardly moving, I grabbed it instead of my 28-75mm f/2.8 Tamron. I'll take the stops of improvement from VR in this kind of situation handily.
These heels make me feel so sexy...! What is it about heels that makes us so crazy? Do GGs get the same kick - the same sense of power, yet vaunrability?

This was a stop the car and jump out moment - this gorgeous evening light was too beautiful to just pass by on the way home
