This is a shot taken on the 3rd night in Bisti Badlands. Wayne, Sandra Herber and Chris Wray and I ran into fellow photographers Willa Wei and creator of the Phone app "Plan It!! for photographers" Ying Wen(Wenjie Qiao). It was so exciting running into people that I follow on Flickr while out in Bisti and even better when in such a desolate place making it even more incredulous. It took a while to find the formation we where looking for, the "Alien Throne" which we did find surrounded by some seriously focused fellows and I snapped this shot while waiting for our turn at the throne.

Bridalveil Falls pours into the snow covered valley as seen from the Tunnel View Overlook.
Easily one of the most beautiful places on Earth and I wish I had some fun or exciting story for you but the fact is, this view may only last for 4-5 more years and then it will all be brown. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. :( My suggestion, see it now!!!!

A beautiful and exciting day at Ponta da Piedade is coming to its end and the last sunrays are bringing the rocks in front of me to shine. There are so many photos left, I could still post but at some point it is time to move on. And so I will end that series tomorrow.
I don't exclude that I'm going to show one of the remaining shots from time to time. And if it's only to refresh my memories.
Ein wunderschöner und aufregender Tag am Ponta da Piedade geht zu Ende und die letzten Sonnenstrahlen bringen die Felsen vor mir zum Leuchten. Ich hätte noch so viel mehr Bilder von hier posten können, doch irgendwann ist es Zeit weiter zu ziehen. Und so werde ich diese Serie morgen beenden.
Ich schließe nicht aus, dass ich von Zeit zu Zeit nochmal eine der verbliebene Aufnahmen hervorhole. Und wenn auch nur, um meine Erinnerungen wieder aufzufrischen.

This weekend was pretty exciting. We had so much stuff done and finally I had a moment to take some new pictures on a meadow nearby. It's amazing how many different insects you can spot there. There are more to come as this week starts! Have a great new week ahead flickr friends!
It was exciting to capture the first marbled white of the year near home last night - such an elegant butterfly and my favourite after the common blue I think.
Still madly report writing and preparing for the end of term here...short walks out with the camera have been keeping me sane, so please excuse my posting and running this week :(

It's inspiring to see so much creativity in world and exciting when it all comes together so well, which is the case with two very cool events that opened recently.
The first event is The Mens Department (TMD) which always brings the style, from shoes to clothes to decor. Here you'll find distinguished designers who always surprise with their exceptional work. This month I picked up my incredible Baseball Mitt. It's created by the very talented Pewpew!. Stop by and pick one up and join the team!
The second event is 6 Republic (6R), which always astounds with top notch creations by the best designers on the grid. It's a thematic event often pulling together two cultures, with this round featuring inspiration from Amsterdam and Australia! The buildings you see here were all picked up at 6R and were created by both Black Jack, with their Amsterdam Buildings, and DRD, with their The Joint Coffee Shop building. Do stop by as it is only open for a limited time.
Thank you everyone out there for your support. When we work together we create wonders and light. And I'd like to think that the "H" on my team jacket is a reminder that we're all on the same team - the "H"uman team!
Additional inspiration came from the following:
Vale Koer's Primefiber Trainers, available at their mainstore!
Apple Fall's Cranfield Fence, available at their mainstore!
Little Branch's Wild Grass, available at their mainstore!
Keep swinging for the fences, my friends!
The most exciting thing is always at the border. Be it the boundary between light and dark or between cold and warm or between fog and sunshine.

Not very exciting I know but a first for me! Waited a while hoping it would move around a bit, but it seemed happy just where it was!
I thought I would jump on the Year in Review bandwagon and select 9 of my favorite landscapes to post commemorating the past year. I have also created a Year In Review "Nightscapes" that I will be posting this evening. Hope you like them!!! :-)
This year has been an exciting and nerve racking year for me. Despite being unemployed for the first 3 months of the year and my medical issues with my kidney stone, my photography opportunities were plentiful. I have been lucky enough to have found a new “Bro-Tog” buddy Bill McIntosh and we have been shooting together at every available opportunity throughout the year. Then I met up with Wayne Pinkston and Quanah Parker for my annual Dark Sky trip through the southwest during the summertime Milky Way season and managed to grab a few good sunrises and sunsets.(BottomLeftCorner andTopLeftCorner). Then later in the fall I was fortunate to have a great time shooting fall color(CenterBottom) and had an incredible trip up to Oregon to shoot the eclipse with Ralf Rohner.(CenterPhoto) For my winter trip I spent that with David Swindler of Action Photo Tours scouting the more remote locations found in the southwest(CenterRowRightandLeft). Then to top off the year Bill and I experienced an incredible sunset last night in Death Valley. The sky lit up gloriously as we said Good-Bye to 2017. I'll be posting that one later.
Thank you all for being so supportive over the past year. I deeply appreciate your encouragement and am truly grateful for that. If you like my photos then please share them with your friends or add it to your gallery, and as always your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!!
I wish you all the best in 2018!!

Also known as “Killer Whales”, orcas are actually the largest species of dolphin and not technically “whales”!
Orcas (Orcinus orca) are marine mammals who belong to the dolphin family (Delphinidae). They are the largest species of dolphins and are easily recognizable by their black-and-white coloration and white patches near each of their eyes. Orcas can weigh between 5,500 and 10,000 kg and reach lengths of 32-feet!
You can read more about Orcas here:

It's always exciting to see a broad-billed hummingbird in our backyard.

The False Creek area of Vancouver is so often filled with the vitality of life. People walking, people watching, people living, there is much to see and much to do. On this occasion, the inlet also had an enormous ocean going sailboat. I hazard to guess it's size, but it was a real beauty. I spent hours in the area watching as the sun went down and how its rays effected the area, especially this sailboat.
I watched as the owners returned and how their very large and loud dog greeted them as they boarded. Much later and long after the sun had set, the blue hour began. It was then the lights came on in and around the city. More photos were had of the area and as the sky dimmed, the city lights became more dominant. As well, the blue lights on the sailboat did the same. Now the warm and the cool were playing together, just before the sky turned black. I found the experience to be exciting so it is a good thing my camera sits on a tripod.
If you are a Sean Connery fan, you will recognize the title from his movie, The Hunt for Red October.
Not the most exciting subject but for some reason I liked the results. When I took the photo I hadn't planned on posting it.
I took this with the Meyer-Optik Goerlitz Trioplan f2.8/100 lens with the lens wide open at f2.8.
Fog is something rare in my hometown Waltrop, but on New Year we had some really dense fog. Already the drive to a local forest was exciting with a viewing distance under 30m ...
and exciting their jealousies and apprehensions, to throw affairs into confusion, and bring on civil commotion :-)

.... if the most exciting event is a nap on a shoe.
It has been raining almost all day which means that Cleo is comatose, Fynn is out all day and enjoys getting wet and Linus is bored. When I took some photos of shoes he joined me and eventually fell asleep on my props. There is another capture of the shoes in the comments. They belong to my niece Natalie who temporarily lives in Cleo's hibernation room in the basement. I love Natalie but what really drives me nuts is that she leaves her stuff everywhere, especially her shoes. As the weather was too bad for taking photos outdoors I thought I could just as well use the shoes for some photos, mainly in order to test different types of lighting. For the photo in the comments I used an external flash plus the softbox. It was really very dark and I think the lighting worked pretty well although I still needed the tripod. For the Linus photo I only used the softbox and a reflector, the flash was off.

This is SO exciting. I was just lamenting to JP how my yard has not attracted any green bees since my gaura died off, one by one, over several years. Last fall, I began replacing them, hoping the green sweat bees would find them again. Rather, here's my first, on a giant sunflower. Gave me 5 seconds and it was off. I'm thrilled I got an image at all, in focus. Frankly, I prefer my bees in profile, but the entire summer lies ahead.
A note about the sunflower. It's wild in my yard. Usually, I pull up plants I didn't plant, unless of course it's a California Poppy. This year, I gave the sunflowers some leeway. Turns out they're of course near the couple of birdie feeders, and when they were just sprouting up I noticed the Lesser Goldfinches love to perch on them before they dive for the feeder or seeds that have fallen. I really had no idea what these plants were till I started to see the buds. So there you have it.
Check it large. The flowering flower is pretty remarkable.

How exciting to be able to see this Bobolink, a life bird and rare bird to the area. This beauty seemed to like Elliot and perched several times right in front of him! It was up most of the time perching and preening then dropped down to the ground to hunt seeds.
I missed this bird three years ago in San Leandro at Oyster Bay. So happy to add this one to my list!!
Always exciting to see birds I’ve never seen before.
I would like to express my thanks and gratitude to all of you for your views, likes and comments. I read them all! It is always very much appreciated.
My wife took the sunset shot because I was driving, but when I took the photos of the paragliding, one of them landed on this same highway with traffic (in the morning though) - no injuries.
Exciting art gallery, Cisternerne, in a dark underground world, the former water reservoirs for Copenhagen.
For "Multiple realities" the artist Chiharu Shiota presents a dreamlike scenery, presence by absence, in empty rotating dresses and maze-like yarn structures.
The most exciting event at our new home this past year (other than the King Cobra in the yard) was the hoopoe nest in the roof of our house. It was a delight to watch these beautiful birds as mom and dad would constantly be foraging for the nestlings. The main course seemed to be spiders. After the nestlings fledged they would sit on our front porch just inches away from the windows.
Wikipedia: The Eurasian hoopoe (Upupa epops) is the most widespread species of the genus Upupa. It is a distinctive cinnamon colored bird with black and white wings, a tall erectile crest, a broad white band across a black tail, and a long narrow downcurved bill. Its call is a soft "oop-oop-oop". It is native to Europe, Asia and the northern half of Africa.

I have some exciting news! I've been accepted to blog for OMY Poses❤️. They have such a diverse range of poses, that will be so fun to play with in my pics. In this pic, Sak is using one of the poses from the OMY Presley Fatpack. So cute!
Also, featured in this pic we have the new Subtle hair from Truth which I adore. The clothes are all Mellow Elie which are always the highest quality. The Grimrose Sweater is on high rotation for me this season because I just love the detailed rose embroidery so much.
Last but not least, Sak is wearing the Sue skin from DeeTaleZ. This skin will always be a go-to for me when I want a chic look...the lips are so glossy and delicious.
❤️❤️❤️

Some times the details in the photo are as exciting as the entire image. Nikkormat FTN / Nikkor 50 mm lens Kodak Plus X Pan film ( Kodak safety film 5062) circa 1980
Always exciting to see these rare late Summer clubtails since we don't see any some years. He was one of 4 including a mating pair the other day - it's looking like a good year for them. Now watching for Laura's clubtails too - an even rarer Stylurus but we get them! @ the wetlands, N Georgia this week
Happy Dragonfly Friday!
On this day in 2016, never a dull moment. For those who may be interested, an extract from my Journal:
The flight over the Falls was exciting, we flew on both the Zimbabwean and Zambian sides of the Zambezi River, this shot taken from inside Zambia. Our helicopter flew a series of figure 8 flights before taking us back to the helipad. From the helipad we needed to get back into Victoria Falls to rejoin Darryl and the non-flyers. The problem was, we hadn't the faintest idea where we were to meet Darryl.
An enterprising man at the helipad said he knew where to find Darryl, so like trusting sheep off to the abattoir, we climbed into his people mover. We drove up, down and around the shabby streets of Victoria Falls for what seemed like an eternity, with never a sign of Darryl or his bus.
I had visions of us all being robbed, or far worse, in the dusty back blocks of this godforsaken African dump. Then, without warning we stopped at the rear of some shanty. We were offloaded and the driver ushered us through a gate to a small yard where food was laid out on a table; what a relief to see Darryl in the backyard gathering.
We were invited to drink and eat, but roasted Mopane caterpillars snuffed out my interest in food. Dishes of traditional African food were on a table attended by far too many flies and far too few waving hands. A bucket of traditional African beer, with mugs for dipping, sat beside cans of beer and Coca Cola. I wasn't hungry, nor all that thirsty as it happened, and I hadn't eaten since breakfast.
I received some exciting news !!! the Royal Alberta Museum ask me if they can use this picture to illustrate the badlands in Alberta.
I ended up in this exciting room with lights on the wall…. I wonder if this is an enlarged version of that thing Iron Man has on his chest..

Always exciting when the cafe au lait bloom. Yes, it's another flower shot for my 100 Lensbaby images. I'm having to make life easy for myself and these dahlias are just asking to be photographed. There may (will) be more to come...sorry, not sorry.

Always exciting to find the first hamamelis in bloom with its strange configuration in the flowers and its beautiful haunting scent.
I usually find them in Hilliers Gardens but now we have this one of our own, in a pot on the deck.
A little research for the origins of the name of this shrub gave me different answers but my favourite explanation is this:
.....the flexible forked twigs of witch hazel are preferred as divining rods. Regardless, modern witches do consider witch hazel a magical plant, to ward off evil and to help heal a broken heart. 'Hazel' because the plant's leaves resemble those of a hazelnut tree.
