Another week nearing its end. Why does Spring go by so quickly?
Thank you for taking a look and all comments and faves are always appreciated so much!
This is an iconic shot of the Grand Canyon taken thousands of times but maybe not so often frosted in fresh snow. This was actually taken day 2 visiting the Grand Canyon, the first day it was so socked in with clouds and fog that you could not see a canyon in front of you just white fluffy stuff. I am so glad we took the chance and went back day two for a few hours before heading off as it is a sight that should be seen by everyone at least once in their life.
I took this on Dec 28th, 2019 with my D750 and Tamron 15-30 f2.8 G2 Lens at 34mm, 1/160s, f11 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia ,and DXO Nik

Built in 1858 by the US Lighthouse Service. This lighthouse was in operation until 1972. An automatic light tower was built to replace the historic lighthouse. It would later reopen as a museum in 1986.

Grandes marées
Aujourd’hui grande première
A la mer
Sous la baguette du vent
L’océan joue Wagner.
Et sautent les vagues
Comme des petits rats
En tutus d’écume blanche.
Les jours de grande marée
Ne venez pas chez moi
Je suis à l’opéra.

"Mont Fort is a mountain of the Pennine Alps, located near Verbier in the Swiss canton of Valais. It lies on the range between the valleys of Bagnes and Nendaz, north of the Rosablanche. With a height of 3,328 metres above sea level, Mont Fort is the highest summit north of the Col de Louvie (2,921 m).
Mont Fort is surrounded by several glaciers, the largest being the Glacier de Tortin, on its northwestern side. The second largest is the Glacier du Mont Fort, located on its northeastern side. On its eastern side lies the lower summit Petit Mont Fort (3,135 m). The Glacier du Petit Mont Fort lies between the two summits. There are no glaciers on the south side of the mountain. A small lake named Lac du Petit Mont Fort (2,764 m) lies on the south flank.
The summit of Mont Fort is easily accessible by cable car from the heights of Verbier or Nendaz. The cable cars from the two valleys converge at the intermediate station (2,894 m) north of the Col des Gentianes, the upper section reaching a height of 3,308 metres. In the winter and early spring season, the mountain, including the Glacier de Tortin, is the culminating point of the 4 Vallées ski area.
Der Mont Fort ist mit einer Höhe von 3'329,0 m ü. M. der höchste mit einer Bahn erschlossene Berg in der Region 4 Vallées in den Walliser Alpen. Der Berg ist von Verbier aus zu erreichen mit der Gondelbahn und Sessellift nach La Chaux - Luftseilbahn Col des Gentianes - Mont Fort. Auf der Plattform der Bergstation befindet sich ein Iglu mit 25 Plätzen, in dem man sich mit einem Fondue verpflegen kann. Von der Bergstation der Seilbahn führt ein felsiger Steig zum Gipfel-Kreuz. Von der Spitze des Mont Fort sieht man über fünfzig Berggipfel, darunter das Matterhorn, den Dent Blanche, den Dent d’Hérens und den Mont Blanc. In der näheren Umgebung sind die vergletscherten Gipfel von Rosablanche und des Grand Combins mit dem Glacier de Corbassière zu sehen.[1]
Die 125-Personen-Seilbahn aus Richtung Siviez über Tortin zum Col des Gentianes wurde 1982 gebaut, ebenso ein Gletscherlift auf dem Glacier de Tortin. Später wurde ein parallel verlaufender Gletscherlift ergänzt. Die Gipfelbahn wurde 1983 fertiggestellt. Die als Jumbo titulierte Pendelbahn (150 Personen-Gondel) aus Richtung Verbier von La Chaux zum Col des Gentianes wurde 1987 gebaut. Der Sommerskibetrieb wurde 1999 eingestellt. Seit der Wintersaison 2007/2008 können auch die Gletscherlifte nicht mehr betrieben werden."

Le Pluvier grand-gravelot ou Grand Gravelot (Charadrius hiaticula) est une petite espèce d'oiseaux limicoles de la famille des Charadriidae.
Le Grand Gravelot est plus trapu et un peu plus grand que le Petit Gravelot. Ses ailes sont traversées par une barre blanche tandis que celles de l'espèce voisine sont uniformes. En plumage nuptial, le Grand Gravelot a la base du bec et les pattes orangées.
Différence entre petit et grand Gravelot .
Le bec du Grand Gravelot est court celui du Petit Gravelot est plus long fin et pointu.
I've been watching this Double Crested Cormorant all year. She is blind in one eye and at times I've seen her sit on the edge of this landing and just look around as if she doesn't know I'm there.
I read the oldest known Double-crested Cormorant was at least 22 years, 6 months old; it was banded in Ontario in 1984 and found in Louisiana in 2006.
With all my heart I hope this grand bird finds a safe place for the winter. She has captured my heart...
