Been out sick for a few days :(
Today I'm feeling a bit better. The photo at sunrise is from Chapel Rocks/ Nickerson Beach, not far from Boston.
Best when displayed in large.
Have a great weekend all!

I took this at Minnekhada Park last week. We were going to go for a hike there, but the trails were skating rinks, and I didn't bring my skates :(
But driving out of the park, the sunlight shone through the trees, and it was worth every minute of getting all the way out there.
Being alone, it took a few trips back and forth till I got the LED panels placed right. I was in that area of the Valley of Dreams already 3 times the last two years but never met anybody there. That makes this place very special to me.

I have long been fascinated by this tree clinging to a rocky ledge overlooking Lake Lopez. I have taken countless photos of it trying to capture the feeling it evokes in me. But none of them came close to expressing my heart....until I decided to create an art piece using the tree as the base image. When I added a sunrise sky I had taken at the Marina in Morro Bay my heart leapt! This was it!!!
I have a neighbor who lives in an historically preserved house, with an equally celebrated garden. Yesterday afternoon I got a call from her that her night-blooming cereus, a cactus flower that blooms just once a year, was about to burst. After the sun went down I walked down the lane, and there - on her front porch - was a six-foot cactus with eight amazing white blooms. I can't describe them with any justice, here is one I hope you will like.
While the memory's fading
Underneath the dying sun
You see
Now I won't stop pretending
Seems I'm always on the run
Foresee
That's why I need to chase
The stars under the rain
Of broken satellites
And just to say again
Don't blame me drifting in the space
Between the darkness and disgrace
It's my way
And my illumination
Don't blame me for being myself
I know that it will never end
Someday
Won't need explanation
Don't blame me drifting in the space
Between the darkness and disgrace
It's my way
And my illumination
Lake Isabella in Kern County California. Lighting courtesy of the local shoreline bonfire. Often i carry five different types of lighting with me and wind up using whatever ambient light source happens to present itself.
The courtyard of the Barnes Foundation, which has been on my bucket list for more than half a century. Satisfaction! The Collection was held captive in a suburb of Philadelphia for many decades, until the dwindling endowment, passionate support, and enlightened judicial review moved it to a truly fabulous facility and location, downtown. The original cramped display rooms illustrating Barnes’s wealth, taste, and idiosyncratic theory of art have been retained in a jewel at the center of this sublime temple.
I should add that I saw this out of the corner of my eye while enjoying coffee and a cookie after the exhibit and the gift shop. Posted it right away. Who could ask for anything more?
