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.

The lovely Evie took Dren and me to this amazing Winter place where we did enjoy the first snow this year, thank you for that Evie! With Christmas upcoming, and the decorations for it done in each world, this is just what i needed.

First signs of light coming over the hills of Fife onto Dundee.

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.

…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

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

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.

First storm of 2019 in Rosendahl-Darfeld, Germany

Made for the Award Tree challenge ~ Black & White ~

 

I was so lucky to see the last two baby birds leaving the nesting box. The rest had already gone.

It happened very fast and it wasn't easy to capture this!

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!
