The season's first snow settles to the surface of the highest peaks surrounding Yudanaka as evening light brings color to the storm clouds, Nagano Prefecture, Japan.

 

The small series of towns near Jigokudani Monkey Park are nestled in a spectacular valley that is rich with apple orchards, small gardens, persimmon trees, and other agricultural enterprises. There is also a very high density of utility poles and other visual detritus that makes the skyline and the way it intersects with the surrounding landscape somewhat less than picturesque. To make this image more presentable, I spent a bit of time cloning out some of the more distracting elements.

The sun's first kiss appears at the top of the mountains and is reflected in Crater Lake.

First snowdrops in Botanical garden bloom close to the birch.

'Griming' a strange old North Riding term for a sprinkling of snow. Guisborough Forest and Walkway.

My photos have been all over the place recently -- or really all the time I guess XD I just kinda like experimenting with where my mood takes me so… its just a buncha randomness. For this, I thought i’d do a little storytelling here :>

 

Wanted to take a shot over at Oyasumi @ Shijima to congratulate Kenzo on his store coming back to SL. Really glad to have you back in SL and all that jazz.

 

The open air parking lot is a really adorable place to take pictures in, so I hope you guys pay it a visit :3

Been in the Kalahari for a week now and this is the first time I have managed to get the internet to work, it's really pretty bad. Been really busy training but managed to take my camera out a few times. Hopefully I can upload some more and maybe even get a blog post sometime soon.

A New Year's Day hike along the Georgian Bay Trail brought us to a snowless Indian Head Cove.

Found this lovely large female out basking in a new spot today, although she may just be making her way to the main breeding ground. She was fully out then saw me and retreated to the bracken where she immediately returned to the edge of to get a better look at me. Her rear end was very crusty with the scent discharge so the males will be all over her soon I suspect. Fabulous snake.

I know the shot is lit broad, but we were all FREEZING! I'll admit, the lighting really bothers me on this one; sometimes you just gotta get that shot and go home!

Out on a sunny walk yesterday. The temperatures were below freezing, but no snow. The wind made it feel colder than it actually was.

So a new story begins, it's up to you to create the sequel...

The morning sun peaks over the horizon to bring in a new day. Taken in Nags Head NC a few weeks ago.

Back in Fontainebleau after years away and delighted to see our favourite patisseries are still doing fine and still absolutely delicious. I'm going to gain 50kg on this trip...

I'm a people person. As long as they play nice, I won't have to shoot anyone.

First ice on Turawa middle lake (Jezioro Turawskie Średnie), Poland.

December, 2014.

In my own mind I have no doubt that we would have summited if we continued. The weather at that point was as good as we could have expected albeit a little breezy and cool. With the forecast for bad weather and strong winds 'later in the day' whatever that really means, would we make it out?

 

The descent was more the issue for me than the ascent. None of us had been here before and looking down on the ridge that we were to descend was, to be quite honest, pretty daunting. Is this the sort of descent that we would risk doing in bad weather? No thanks.

 

The ropes attached and packs lifted we took our first steps away from the summit. I felt a certain emptiness. So here we were, the three of us, heading down a steep ridge toward a sea of cloud waiting below.

 

The ridge though was a pretty exciting view. I couldn't believe that was our path out. Ion was off without a hint of hesitation. This was his element. The Romanian cowboy seemed well at home on this rock and snow ridge and with confidence started the descent. I was nervous but still excited at the route. The drop on either side of this ridge was...well, check out the photo!

Kingsburg, Ca.

Rich and I had been out since six o'clock, and I needed to get to work. As we returned to the car, we passed the ruins of a building being demolished after it burned. I had said something to Rich about wishing I could get in there, and all of a sudden, we found a back entry that had been left open. No time to spend there. Damn!!!! Couple of quick shots and away we went.

Yep, I like the light in this one! And these photobombing waterbirds only add to the scene so no need to clone that Coot out either lol.

I am rather busy atm so not as long a blurb as normal. Hopefully I will be back up to full warble shortly!
