It's a cold winter afternoon. The sun has set behind the forest. We are with my dog Helmi in a swamp, among low pine trees. A wonderful moment, just to be here now.

From here to infinity
A modern train station which looks like science fiction to me. I love the POV of going to infinity.
Here's a YELLOW moment from earlier this year.
We had so much rain over the Winter that the hills were green much longer than typical for our area.
Here's a photo of a Orange Tip butterfly resting on some Bluebell's in between the showers today.
This species is one of the earlier butterfly species on the wing, seen in April.
Mating
A male butterfly has several methods of determining whether he has found a female of his own species. One way is by sight. The male will look for butterflies with wings that are the correct color and pattern. When a male sights a potential mate it will fly closer, often behind or above the female. Once closer, the male will release special chemicals, called pheromones, while it flutters its wings a bit more than usual. The male may also do a special "courtship dance" to attract the female. These "dances" consist of flight patterns that are peculiar to that species of butterfly. If the female is interested she may join the male's dance. They will then mate by joining together end to end at their abdomens. During the mating process, when their bodies are joined, the male passes sperm to the female. As the eggs later pass through the female's egg-laying tube, they are fertilized by the sperm. The male butterfly often dies soon after mating.
Here in the Northern Hemisphere, we call the full moon closest to the autumn equinox the Harvest Moon. In 2020, the Northern Hemisphere autumn equinox came on September 22. Thus, for the Northern Hemisphere, this upcoming full moon on October 1 – the full moon closest to our autumn equinox – is our Harvest Moon.
Here to Eternity was captured at Waterford Beach Park. An exposure of 30 seconds was used to smooth out the water and present the viewer with a calm view out into the sound which seems to go into nothingness due to the slight haze of the morning. One can watch the ferry's as they traverse the channel on their regular schedule. A very relaxing location this time of year.
Here's another shot depicting a pair of Red Eyed Tree Frogs we came across during our all too short stay in Selva Verde.
Hoh Rainforest is one of the largest temperate rainforests in the U.S., located on the Olympic Peninsula in western Washington state.[1] It includes 24 miles (39 km) of low elevation forest 394 to 2,493 feet (120 to 760 m) along the Hoh River. The Hoh River valley was formed thousands of years ago by glaciers.

Seasons slowly transform from one to the other right in front of our eyes..sometimes subtlety, others blatantly... finding gratitude in whatever form it arrives ...

Thank you so much for the support and kindness....it's greatly appreciated!! Have a great rest of the week! 😊
Sadly, more mass murders in the world; the larger this weekend, a hate, racial nonsense shooting at a shopping mall. We must have conscience about the place where we live, we must have gun control, we must have peace, we must end hate, we must end racial differences.
"All walls fall over time
To reconcile our hearts
All walls fall over time
There's only one human race
Many faces, everybody belongs here..."
