it was foggy early so i rushed outside

I think it's time to get a telescope!!! This is a fellow photographer that I met in Joshua Tree National Park. He, his sister and another photographer and myself hung out here for a couple of hours exchanging tips and friendly conversation.

We were looking for variations on different compositions since nobody there could find a comp with the arch and the MW that looked any good. At this time of year the MW is on the back side of the arch which is somewhat less photogenic than the front side. So I strapped a 50 LED police headlamp on this guys head and handed him my back up headlamp set to red LED mode and ask him to put that on the ground at his feet. After a little fiddling and a few test shots I ended up with this composition. Hope you like it!!! :)

I will be heading back here in June when the MW is in a much better position. :)

This was shot at the White Tank Campground on the Arch rock loop.

Please leave a comment if you like this photo and thank you for taking the time to take a look at my photos and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great day everyone :)

Okay, it's not actually within our backyard, but it's just beyond it. The yard behind our house borders a large park that is just being developed. The park was recently seeded, and the straw was put down as mulch. I took this shot while standing on our backyard deck. I think these Sandhill Cranes must have been eating the grass seed.

I know that there's not a lot going on in this image. But I rather like the repetitive poses of the birds, and I thought it was kind of cool that I could get this shot without leaving home, so I decided to go with it. The abundance of Sandhill Cranes in the area near our new home in Michigan has been one of the pleasant surprises of living here.

HMM!

"It's Alive" Macro Mondays Theme

It's a native grass species found throughout the East Coast of the U.S. in lightly grazed pastures and fields. I found these after sunset near the French Broad River in Asheville, North Carolina.

It must be a fantastic view from up there.

the theme for Macro-Monday 12.Dezember

Thanks for all your views, *** and (critical) kind review :))

Macro Monday

Didn't think he'd make it to his birthday. The polyps in the nose are still inflamed. I have to wipe his nose a lot. Still on prednisone and an antibiotic every few weeks. He doesn't eat much, but he still seems to enjoy life. Still following me like a dog and still playing now and then.

Also see the previous image of him I have posted.

It is said that the American Avocet brings elegance in the bird world to a new level. This image taken in the mangroves of the Ten Thousand Islands in SW Florida highlights this.

I stayed with the fog for one more image ..;) I do like the way it came out. Simple and relaxing.

Happy Sunday. Hope everyone in the Northeast is doing alright with that nasty weather. I saw a few pictures posted on Flickr. It looks really ugly

Paddy can land on a sixpence .. Elk's beginning to defer to Pad's as she's realising just as Mist does with having her that's she's got a Pad's that does that so why bother!

It's all connected, and, somehow, it's all in balance. And that's, of course, when you go, 'Yes!' :-)

After the processing, this song popped up in my head:

'Paint It Black' by The Rolling Stones.

The first to lines are:

""I see a red door and I want it painted black.

No colours anymore, I want them to turn black.""

Sweet memories of Schiermonnikoog ;-))

Happy weekend!

it is a complete substitute for life :-(

It feels like forever since I've been on Flickr and have missed all of you. I feel like I am finally on the road to recovery. It will take some time for me to get back to commenting on everyone's images - so you may just get faves for a bit. So happy to be back!

Although it did not last long it was good seeing that white stuff covering the trees,

And I had my now blower all ready to go:-)

It is amazing the climbing ability and balance that the Great Heron has when looking for it's next meal!

The severe angle of this tree, and the evidence of complete surgery of all of its limbs, was not enough to destroy its ability to survive. Fresh branches have sprouted...I hope it makes it.

Ironically, this tree survives at a "ghost town" , Glen Haven, Michigan.
