Every night is different. The vista from my back porch. Sonoran Desert, Arizona, USA. Dedicated macro lens. No crop.
Every year in Spring the Common Cranes arrive in Sweden from Spain and Germany. They have arrived to perform their mating dance. It is a spectacle I have looked forward to for years and it did not disappoint. The first two days the weather was really bad, torrential rain and low visibility and -6deg C
Cranes are monogamous and most arrive with their partners among the thousands of other birds, whooper swans, coots, grebes and geese. The call and noise of these birds is deafening but a sight to behold. Day 3 finally the weather forecast showed good weather but -15C. It was a wonderful red, orange sky, aflame with thousands of birds arriving.
They flew across the flaming sky and danced, pirouetting, bowing which helps in establishing life long bonds with existing and new partners.
When nesting, Common cranes "paint" their bodies with mud or decaying vegetation, apparently in order to blend into their nesting environment. The nest is either in or very near shallow water, often with dense shore vegetation nearby, and may be used over several years.
Mythology has it that the crane, if treated with due respect, will bring luck, success and a long life. Farmers in western Sweden have a long tradition of paying homage to the bird by mimicking its leggy gait in a ritual dance around the farmhouse.
An amazing experience despite the freezing temperatures and one that I will always remember.
according to circumstances; but, on the first of January let every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take interest in the things that are and are to be, and not in the things that were and are past :-)

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.”

Foliage found in the Valley of Fire.
....was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity,
and I may say innocence, with Nature herself.

June 2021, I have no time for social activity at the moment. In my department it is Me, Myself and I that are running the business. It is the busiest time of year but my colleagues are either ill, on holiday or abroad to look after ill family members. Took this shot from my bathroom and it reminded me that better times will be there some day :-)
Hope you enjoy this photo!

Every detail of the gondola has its own symbolism. The iron prow-head of the gondola, called "fero da prorà" or "dolfin", is needed to balance the weight of the gondolier at the stern and has an "Ƨ" shape symbolic of the twists in the Canal Grande. Under the main blade there is a kind of comb with six teeth or prongs ("rebbi") pointing forward standing for the six districts or "sestieri" of Venice.
Above on the left of the image is the L’Orco, the most well known sculpture from Parco dei Mostri. The inscription around the mouth reads “ogni pensiero vola” meaning “every thought flies.” This is because when you speak inside–even in a whisper–it is amplified and everyone outside can hear you.

When your life seems black
With only darkness in your sight,
When the world seems silent
Void of melodies and sounds,
And the moon stays hidden
While the stars refuse to shine,
Don't despair or give up
For dawn will surely come
In the meantime..
Lit up your lanterns, let it float in the sky
Let it brightly shine and bask in it's light
Sit back, relax, clear your mind
Allow every worries to drop
with every twinkle of your eyes..
Breathe my dear...you will be fine..
- Miu
Every time I get back to Ricketts Glen I count myself lucky, and also make sure to try all sorts of compositions I have not done before. With all the flow there, I was able to get some interesting compositions well below the secondary drops below Oneida Falls. This one here is even further back, and one that I considered before but did not try as you really need to step off another ledge in the stream that is all under water, and hence deeper that most areas. I tested it with the tripod, and was several feet deep ... so too the chance. I ended up getting the bottoms of my shorts wet as I stood there in the all the flow ... but made a great low view point here with the wide angle lens ending up just above the flow.
Got my feet and then the tripod stable in all that flow against some rocks and then composed the capture.
If you have seen many of my other compositions here, you can see the flow I end up usually standing in as that area is all there in the foreground underwater. At this location though, the water was another 18 inches deeper ... and moving quite quick with the next drop in the stream occurring just under the frame of reference here, and below the tripod.
Every day me and the owls played hide and seek, only the garden birds betrayed the owls location. Privileged to have these in my backyard !

Colour re-edit of a shot taken in February 2018. Does anyone else think she looks a bit like Jennifer Coolidge? I hope that you are all having a great but safe weekend of photography - enjoy!
Every autumn, red-backed shrikes regularly turn up along the east coast, mostly youngsters on their first migratory journey heading south from Scandinavia to winter in Africa.

Every time I go digging around in my archives... I always seem to find something interesting that I missed the first time around. Funny thing is... the further back I dig... the more I seem to find!
I shot the images for this Vertorama, just after sunrise, more than two years ago!! :)
Sony Alpha 100, Sigma 10-20mm at 11mm, aperture of f13, with a 1/80th second exposure.

Every year the Marys River deposits a few glass bottles onto one of the riverbanks here on the farm. The two larger ones in this photo are new this year, and in fact, the one on the far right was found yesterday, half buried in the sandy river bottom.
I'm fascinated by the fact that there is a second river inside the first one: a flow of discarded glassware moving at a fraction of the speed of the river, but following the same course - just much more slowly. Most of the bottles found are from the 1930's through the 1960s. I wonder how far some of these have traveled?

Every autumn a melancholy sweeps over me as it seems autumn is a reminder to us of the shortness of life. (also how beautiful life can be at it's end stages) Each beautiful leaf has but one season before it takes it's final beautiful swirl down to the ground. Maybe, too, it has something to do with both of my parents being laid to rest in the month of October and some how knowing one day I will be too. :)
...every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.

Every time I see your face
There's a cloud hangin' over you
In such a beautiful way
There's a poetry to your solitude

Every day I drink my coffee. But not every day do I read the story left behind in the grounds.
Today, I saw a little girl with a crown, a mysterious old woman with her cat, and a child who seems both young and old, accompanied by a faithful dog.
Perhaps the grounds are not telling the future. Perhaps they are simply reminding us that we all carry a child, an old soul, and a few faithful companions within us.
