*[Funny Story: I found out many cruises ago, when you go to bed, wrap your camera gear in towels and put it in a closet or drawer (in an 'airconditioned' cabin), otherwise, when you leave and encounter that very humid sea air...YOUR LENSES FOG UP!! I forgot to do that on this morning and was devastated when I couldn't clear them no matter what I did!! (Didn't want to miss this!!) Finally, I was able to salvage a few shots...but you can see they're still a touch foggy.]

The sun kisses the lighthouse at Cape Spear every morning before awakening the rest of North America.
This is the first time I was able to capture one of these. One of the things I learned from watching them is that the beak is shaped that way to help them drink. It is sort of a reverse laddel thing.
As the sun's first light touched his perch, this Double-crested cormorant (Nannopterum auritum) took flight to join his roost mates diving for early morning fish. He flew straight into the sun to join them, and I was able to capture his approach and landing.
His action did not break, but rather added to the quiet calm at the Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge. The cool morning was a welcome change to the weeks of high north Texas temperatures that finally gave way to a taste of autumn earlier this week.

This one did take several attempts to get what i was after. After a couple of failed sunset versions, i took the adventure wagon through the tiny, and i mean that, roads across the moor well before sunrise to allow time to trek up the hillside for the shot. It was magical to wait and watch for the first rays to catch the distant fellside and then gradually floodlight the valley. (f/9, 67 mm, 1/30th second at ISO 125. Timer and manual exposure)
The first rays of dawn on the beach at Southern Shores. Rather chilly this morning. This is a time exposure which makes the Atlantic look a bit calmer than it usually is. Ya'll have a large weekend and thank you for the visit.
Our first peek of color in the yard, one of the Jack Frost Brunnera perennials that show well with the little blooms all through Spring, April, 2026. I just learned that this plant is native to Siberia.
The first of the seven remaining Apostles,that sit along the coast at Port Campbell in south west Victoria.
Australian Emerald Dragonfly (Hemicordulia australiae) female
I often see the Tau Emerald Dragonflies around the garden but this is the first time I have had an Australian Emerald visit. Another that is usually found around waterways.
My first autumn in Norway was a really wonderful one. Since then I've been in Norway 3 times more during autumn. It is so special those wonderful autumn colors🍁
First Day
O Immaculate Heart of Mary Mother of Jesus, Our Lady of Fatima, inspire me to grieve sincerely for the sins that weigh heavily upon the souls of men. Sorrowfully I recall the bitter and harsh punishments heaped upon thy Divine Son, when He was cruelly scourged at the pillar, unmercifully crowned with with thorns. I recall His sad journey to Calvary, His crucifixion, and ignominious death on the cross. Yet, they were but the instruments of pain. It was my sins that really caused His precious blood to be shed. His excessive love willed that He should suffer my salvation. Thus, I will give my little love to make amends and atone for a thoughtless and unappreciative world.
Oh Immaculate Heart of Mary, you who suffered, and shared with Him each pain caused and inflicted by our sins, intercede for us that we may be privileged o unite our hearts with yours in an effort to make reparation for our sins, and the sins of ungrateful mankind. Amen.
Our Lady of Fatima, inflame our hearts with the love of reparation.
Isn't s/he adorable???
First time in my yard this winter - mama with one fawn.
Hopefully they will be back.

I got some wonderful sunrises whilst staying in Funchal Madeira. Going in late October guaranteed comfortable sunrise times and this was a shot I took just before going for a sumptuous breakfast at the Hotel.
That seems such a long time ago now as I stare out of the window at sleet and snow sweeping across the garden here.
First light in Iqaluit is a threshold — a spectrum of beginnings refracted across horizon and memory. Each dawn bends possibility into choice, reminding us that resilience is not singular but renewed daily, a ritual of orientation at the edge of the Arctic.
I took this "promo" shot for Canibeat's first event they are holding.
Layered a few shots, the sky is legit, it was right before a pretty heavy storm.
here's a link to the post where you can find information about this event:
