Meadowland Ancaster Ontario

Don't you love that feeling you get, when you see the first snow hitting the distant mountains?! This was taken in September. My photo travel buddy chris.ph and I were giddy with excitement, imagining the scenes to come.

My first ever lightning shot, from a relatively weak storm here in Berlin last night.

 

Thanks to those following me so far, means a lot and thanks for all the comments :)

 

Hope you all are having a great weekend!

Murano

is a series of islands linked by bridges in the Venetian Lagoon, northern Italy.

Murano’s reputation as a center for glassmaking was born when the Venetian Republic, fearing fire and the destruction of the city’s mostly wooden buildings, ordered glassmakers to move their foundries to Murano in 1291.

Murano glass is still associated with Venetian glass

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.

 

Same drop.....same angle...just little different light perspective.

 

Just squeaked in the back door of Explore......#498....August 1, 2008.

A Peter VC charter.

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.

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🍁

…this is a tidal river than runs along the Pemaquid Peninsula. Our first morning at 32F, 0C!

First cold day and a wonderful morning sun

Der erste kalte Tag mit aufgehender Sonne

The first of the seven remaining Apostles,that sit along the coast at Port Campbell in south west Victoria.

Landscape near the Albula Pass, Grisons, after a snowy autumn night. Scan from an old slide.

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.

After two days of continuous stormy weather, the storm broke last night. The the sun FINALLY broke through this morning. This was at sunrise, just as the first sliver of sun started poking up over the horizon.

 

The weather forecast was OFF by a bit. A few days ago, they were saying snow flurries, on and off, for the next for three days. By early yesterday morning, they were saying 1-3 inches of snow, ending by 10:00 AM.

 

Apparently, what happened was... Several different small storms came and ran into a big high pressure system, so they just stopped here. The smaller storms merged into one big storm, and the "On and off flurries" turned into 12-22 inches of snow all around Bryce Canyon.

Isn't s/he adorable???

First time in my yard this winter - mama with one fawn.

Hopefully they will be back.

First storm of 2019 in Rosendahl-Darfeld, Germany

I don't live in an area that gets a lot of thunderstorms, and I've never really had a chance to try and photograph a lightning bolt.

 

Coming down the mountains in eastern Oregon on a birding trip, I hear some thunder in the distance, stop at the nearest pull-off and 1000-or-so shots later...

 

Got me a picture of lightning!
