at night's black spell on darkness, beguiling”

Thank you all for the wonderful birthday wishes!

This grouping of small waterfalls is named Overlooked Falls. They are located along the trail to Greenstone Falls at Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park in Michigan's upper peninsula. Before crossing the bridge at the trailhead, the visitor must walk down the river about 100 yards or these falls will be missed, i.e., 'overlooked.'

This winter, trees and forests in particular have given me wonderful moments and I have become sensitive to their wisdom, calming power and beauty.

Sometimes the sun has shone through the trees or a blue or golden light has shone there. Sometimes, fog has obscured the views and wrapped the trees in its dreamlike web. Thank you, my enchanted forests, you have helped me a lot 💚

👱‍♀️🎧 A Hidden Place (Björk)

Don't overlook what seems to be hidden from view....LOOK deeper

For several months I've fancied getting up on top of the mountain behind Castle Tioram to get a view down on the castle on its islet. Today, I didn't get to that place but I did get here, up in the shoulder between two peaks. I've no idea if it has a name but what a perfectly stunning place with its islands and reflections, right up in the mountain. Imagine a lovely sunset through that gap towards the west! I must go back and try for something better.

I just wanted to smell the scent of lavender and found this hidden kitten

Thanks for the visit, much appreciated.

This tropical paradise was a short walk away from Luquillo Beach in Puerto Rico

Great Smoky Mountains taken from the Clingman's Dome overlook. This was just after the sunset. This was my most favorite spot to take the wavy mountain canopy.

Personally, I feel the Smokies are a pain to visit. Such a huge crowd and bumper to bumper traffic a mile before the entrance. I feel its highly overrated and there are many other NPs that offer much more with more managed crowds. Was a bit glad to exit the park on the Blue Ridge Parkway, much more colors and wonderful scenic overlooks! Next time I will skip Smoky and go to Shenandoah directly!

This is a 8 photograph panorama stitched in LR6. I have to crop off the sun as it was too strong and burning through the photograph!

Somewhat hidden, in a less spectacular side valley of the Moselle, and on an even less spectacular, almost boring hiking trail, you reach Eltz Castle, which is enthroned on a 70-metre-high rock. Its imposing appearance is due on the one hand to this, and on the other hand to its eight residential towers, up to 35 metres high, which make it stand out clearly from its surroundings. This truly impressive overall picture gives the feeling that one has arrived in the Middle Ages through teleportation.

melting snow along the small road...... welcome spring!!!!

Happy Tuesday ;-))

Hard to spot...just a little falling-down barn or maybe a shed, nearly overgrown but still, perhaps, in use. Won't be long now....

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES

ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK

I found this little single spike of Veronica ‘Grace’ (Hebe ‘Amy’) blooming quietly between its dark metallic foliage.

Veronica ‘Grace’ (Hebe ‘Amy’ or ‘Purple Queen’) is a hybrid cultivar of Hebe speciosa native to New Zealand. The genus Hebe is currently included in the genus Veronica. Classification sometimes goes back and forth...

Spring colour hidden away in a quiet corner of Norfolk countryside.

This Flanders poppy had popped up in a large section of small gravel in our neighborhood. After passing it for several days and noticing it was about ready to droop, I invited it home for a photo session. I am now so enamored of this specimen that I'm heading out to purchase envelopes of poppy seeds.

I was set on taking a sunset shot today, but wasn't sure where I wanted the photo at. I recalled an area out past Cherokee, towards Clingmans dome that had a few picturesque valleys that had potential. Neither panned out, on the way back out, I was taking note of the waterfalls, the textures, the moss, the lay of the land. So, not admitting defeat I stopped at the urging of a friend and began composing a shot at one of the more relaxing creeks/waterfalls. Of course, me being me, I wanted to shoot from the middle of the creek, without waders, in water still too cold to dunk my less that water resistant boots in, I opted to balance o na few rocks in the middle. This is the result of roaming, and working to find my composition. Enjoy.
