And eagle perches near Welcome, Washington.
There is an interesting Riddle that explains how Welcome Washington got its name. The US Post Office opened an office there in 1889. John Welcome Riddle was the very first Post Master. Evidence of a community is sparse today. Evidence of salmon and eagles is plenty.

The terraces were dug following the natural curves of the landscape. The thickness of the walls stores heat during the day and diffuses it at night. Thanks to this method it has been possible to obtain a different microclimate as one goes down and gets closer to the centre. An average temperature difference of 5°C was observed, whereas the difference is only 0.5°C over comparable height differences at the same location. Due to its sheltered position, each of the terraces represents approximately one thousand metres of altitude under normal growing conditions.
I happened to come by Marvin the other day and thought we could have some fun.
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday
As I already explained in my previous image of similar title, this is what is going on in this Northern Paradise. We passed by watching in horror and pushing the accelerator to the very bottom to get away from this madness as fast as possible. ... Call me selfish, call me a friggin individualist, but I will NEVER stand in a line experiencing such places in a melee ;)
Needless probably to add that their two minibuses were almost blocking a very narrow road while about 500 metres further there was a parking lot! Gosh I hate this new photographic vandalism!
He looks slightly sceptical here but in fact he seems to like snow and wasn't pleased when I urged him to return indoors. :)

My favored birding guide describes the Green Heron as a short and compact bird that usually appears neckless. That could explain why the baitfish are always so surprised to find themselves struck by an unnoticed predator from more than a foot above.
At this sight, the title of the book about the famous painter Giovanni Segantini, who lived here in the Engadin for many years, immediately came to mind. In this area at 1800 metres above sea level, the air is purer, the light is different, more intense, it's hard to explain. But I always experience an incredible feeling of happiness here...
This picture was taken on 3 February 2024, at the end of the day at Lake Sils. I had photographed on the frozen lake until I had practically no light left. A tripod would have been helpful... As I walked back to the village, I turned round one last time - and saw this view. Despite the darkness, I took a picture because it was the most beautiful I saw.

Das Schönste, was ich sah...
Bei diesem Anblick kam mir sofort der Titel des Buches über den berühmten Maler Giovanni Segantini in den Sinn, der hier im Engadin viele Jahre gelebt hatte. In dieser Gegend auf 1800 m ist die Luft reiner, das Licht ist anders, intensiver, es ist schwer zu erklären. Aber ich erlebe hier jedesmal ein unglaubliches Glücksgefühl...
Dieses Bild entstand am 3. Februar 2024, am Ende des Tages am Silsersee. Ich hatte am gefrorenen See fotografiert, bis ich praktisch kein Licht mehr hatte. Ein Stativ wäre hilfreich gewesen... Als ich zum Dorf zurück spazierte, habe ich mich ein letztes Mal umgedreht - und diese Sicht erblickt. Trotz Dunkelheit habe ich ein Bild gemacht, denn es war das Schönste, was ich sah.

Some things you can work out just by looking at them - some you can't. (Usually until someone explains it; and sometimes not even then).

Scientists are baffled to explain how the remains of an Automosaurus Toyotus (although the exact species is difficult to determine because of deterioration due to sea water) long thought to be extinct washed up on a beach along the Oregon coast. A typical Automosaurus is thought to have weighted from 4.000 lbs (about 1800 kg) to 9,000 pounds (about 3600kg), voraciously consumed more than 50 gallons (190 liters) of petroleum in seven days, and emitted on average about 4.6 metric tons of CO 2 per year.
This writer shudders to think how close we came to the end of not just humankind, but all life on Earth had it not been for sudden growth of feral bicycles, which hunted and drove the automosaurus to extinction. Or so we thought.
Scientists now wonder if the creatures have gathered beneath the seas where they have evolved into something perhaps even more deadly.

Drakaea is a genus of 10 species in the orchid family commonly known as hammer orchids. All ten species occur only in the south-west of Western Australia. Hammer orchids are characterised by an insectoid labellum that is attached to a narrow, hinged stem, which holds it aloft. The stem can hinge only backwards, where the broadly winged column carries the pollen and stigma. Each species of hammer orchid is pollinated by a specific species of thynnid wasp. There are at least 2000 species of thynnid wasps in Australia, although only around 600 have been named so far. Thynnid wasps are unusual in that the female is flightless and mating occurs when the male carries a female away to a source of food. The labellum of the orchid resembles a female thynnid wasp in shape, colour and scent. Insect pollination involving sexual attraction is common in orchids but the interaction between the male thynnid wasp and the hammer orchid is unique in that it involves the insect trying to fly away with a part of the flower. Watch a video of the action here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yLnKfhmUzg The anatomy of hammer orchids is explained here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drakaea#/media/File:Drakaea_labelle...
We spoke to a ranger about this hike--from the Dempster Highway to Grizzly Lake, over Glissade Pass to Divide Lake, on to Talus Lake, and then back--before we started. He described the route over Glissade Pass, explaining, "You'll look down and say, 'that can't be possible,' but you just keep going." And that's exactly what we did say, and do, glissading down snowfields and scree. On the way back up the pass, by this point good and tired, we found ourselves sinking deep into the snow and scree, and experiencing the demoralization of actually sliding backwards after great effort. Since this photo is six years old, I won't try to build the suspense; after a lot of effort, we made it back to the tent:) Mrs. Orca making the arduous way from Divide to Grizzly lake over Glissade Pass, Tombstone Territorial Park, Yukon Territory, Canada.
: the Blue Tit. Like all our garden birds, Blue Tits need to put down fat reserves to make it through the longer winter nights (when they obviously can’t feed). However, unlike a larger garden bird such as a Collared Dove, the Blue Tit is probably only able to put down enough fat in a day to make it through one single long and very cold night. This immediately explains why Blue Tits are so active on short and very cold winter days, as a) they have less hours to collect food – perhaps less than 7 hours in the depths of winter in the far north of the UK
I came across this impromptu street garden in the historic center of Forcalquier where most of the old stone houses are packed so closely together there is no room for a more traditional garden.
The photo was taken on 19th December, which might explain the presence of the Christmas decorations.
How can I explain when there are few words I can choose
How can I explain when words get broken
Do you remember there was a time, ahaha
When people on the street
We're walking hand in hand in hand
They used to talk about the weather
Making plans together
Days would last forever

I know I know, we're all busy........it's hard to explain but I don't stop thinking about using my camera.....It just happens to be a while since I have.
Anyway, this was a rare night out down at the good old favourite Apostles. It was a classic night really. I got there early as usual and watched. I watched the sunset with the throng...it was pretty nice, I watched the throng watch the sunset...I kinda like that too...bit of a people watcher...I watched the penguins arrive, check out the beach and return to the safety of the water to wait a little longer to charge the beach later on with the safety of numbers, I watched the throng watch the sunset again and miss the penguins completely. I watched the sea mist roll in. I watched the sun disappear, and for a while thereafter the throng too...if not a little tooo slowly. Then I watched the Moon rise right on cue.
Finally alone.....or so I thought.
First came the Crickets. I actually felt them before I saw them. I felt them smack me in the head, arms legs....everywhere. It was a classic warm late summer night so a hatch is not unusual but I can't remember seeing this many crickets there before.
I took four shots this night, this was the third, but it was while waiting for the first one to do its business, I think it was about a 15-20 minute exposure I realised it wasn't just me n the crickets. At first I thought it was a Bandicoot as I've seen one before in just the same spot too but no it was a Fox. It was so close to me that I actually got a bit of a fright.....it didn't. It strolled passed me within arms length with not much more than a glance, along the board walk and up the small stair case to where the night lights were illuminating the path back to the carpark. Of course the light was attracting the crickets in huge numbers and the Fox proceeded to feast.
I followed it up and took a seat on a small stone wall and watched again. It was pretty fucken awesome. Its coat was perfect, its tail bushy. At one stage it nearly stepped on my shoe as it skitted back and forth crunching down the crickets.
I couldn't help but think how menacingly cool it looked but at the same time how effective, adaptable and destructive it was and how it didn't really belong there in that beautiful place.
Bit like me I guess.

I cannot. A double-exposure, the first thing one would jump to, is out. How could the second exposure on the same frame just selectively put in the three rectangular images without all the surrounding details? Very weird. I cannot possibly explain it but maybe one of you can. This was not taken through a window. I was standing out on our balcony in the open air.

Normally, Jongmyo Shrine is only open for guided tours on most days. However, I was able to get in without a guided tour because it was on a Saturday which was the only day not needing a guided tour. Still, I got a glimpse on how much importance South Koreans put on cultural education to their kids.
Right over here in this photo was a guide in hanbok explaining to the kids what was Jongmyo Shrine used in the past. A really interesting thing to note is that despite fast changes and foreign influence over the decades, Korea has still managed to keep many of its traditions.

The only time I've ever been to Mt. St. Helens was when I was a kid and the entire area was consumed by fog. I never was able to see the peak. I knew I was missing something, I just didn't know exactly what.
Fast forward 15 years later, my friend and I find ourselves arriving at the same exact conditions I was plagued with years back. I was sure that we weren't going to see the mountain that morning, but when it finally revealed itself, I felt like a kid in a candy store. Everything around us was breathtaking.
There is something about Mt. St. Helens that can't be explained. Ok, so the missing chunk can be scientifically explained, but there is an intangible feeling that sets this mountain apart for me and I can finally fully appreciate it.
Its 2 am I just came home not too long ago I was planning on getting help today on choosing my photos and my first option to ask help from is no longer as of yesterday and the second option which is my ex I didn’t feel comfortable with but had no choice I couldn’t do it on my own I had to build a theme and its very hard. My ex is a very successful photographer and he also teaches photography so he has a good eye . I really like what we did and what he chose and we decided what will go on the walls together with what and everything. It was so good to be busy with that and not think about yesterday for an hour or so…
Ive been very sad today I tried to sleep most of the day through actually. Im not that devastated simply because I am very very strong and its true what I said a while ago about my heart being the most put together organ in my body cause its not even cracked or anything. Why would it be..? I love and am loved its just … ughhhh
I swing between completely understanding him to thinking he's psycho! For loving me so much and letting me go. I think gd is "playing" with me ever since that voice I heard when I was 13 I've been very close to all my higher guidance and I talk to them constantly and I was begging to meet my man already I was missing someone I didn’t even know and I was going crazy I think maybe they said .." ok you want to meet him and see who it is thats fine ! but he's not ready !!" the first time we went out I felt something. We went up to his place after a few drinks at a near bar and the chemistry was amazing … he went to pee or get water I don’t remember I looked out the window and said " its him isn’t it !!" I really cant explain it and maybe im the one that’s psycho! I don’t know… thank gd I have the exhibition to keep me busy right now. my cousin is having a b day tomorrow and I don’t feel like drinking again but going out will be good for me. I guess…
I also think I talked the talk so now I have to walk the walk. I said I was gonna open my heart and be vulnerable without being afraid. I did it… now I have to live it and not close up! That’s the test I think and I'm not closing up not at all its funny but I'm so open ! and I do have so much to give. finally I have so much to give without being drained and emptied like i was in the past.
