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

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.
The sun kisses the lighthouse at Cape Spear every morning before awakening the rest of North America.
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🍁
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.

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.
Early morning winter light hitting the Nantle Ridge, Mynydd Mawr and the mountains further down in the Llyn Peninsular.

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!
This is what an inch and a half of snow looks like when it turns out to be almost five inches.
