A misty shore sidewalk on the lower reaches of Wastwater. The trees caught my eye as John Bleakley and I contemplated the conditions after the long drive around to the Western Lakes.
After a mooch around, conditions meant we moved East to the Central Lakes in search of better conditions. We did get quite a few decent shots around this spot though. I didn't think this would amount to much, but quite liked the feel of this scene on considering it later on the computer!
I’m not sure who, what or why someone (or something) stacks fallen branches against the trunks of oak trees in this forest. I thought the were old bivouacs at first but now I’m not so sure!
Messing around again with color and my groceries and of course still trying to get better at processing and texture. It's snowing again so trying to brighten my day with color and healthy food. What helps you beat the winter blahs?
We have odd houses here in Dunedin :-D
I am just back from having a coffee with the wonderful ~Geisha~ who is visiting NZ at the moment, she's the first Flickrite I have met in real life.

The trees along the trail appear to lean away from us as we walk through this open and airy woodland.

In the group, Color My World Daily, Saturday is pink or purple day. When I came upon this scene today, I thought it would be perfect.
Grey Seal pup and mum, enjoying the later afternoon sunshine.
Taken from quite a long way off behind the Winterton Seal Barrier - there to try and keep the Seals near the beach and within the front section of dunes.
40% of the world's population of Grey Seals live around the UK coast, with the cutest ones being brought up on the beaches of Norfolk :-)
Without the support of its companion, this aged barn would collapse into total ruin. Couples who reach old age together often find a greater need for support from each other than ever in their lives.

Cute baby raccoons just having a nap together. Best moment ever I saw so far this week. I assume these were brother and sister by their size.
A typical summer day in the backyard. Astilbe and Sum and Substance Hosta. We had some big storms come through and everything was leaning afterwards.
I heard this beautiful version of this song and it inspired me to do a picture.

Lean On Me - I was just lamenting my screech owl luck this year, and my lamentations were recently answered! I hiked about 2 miles, scanning every suitable cavity I saw in Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia) and Valley Oak (Quercus lobata), two of the preferred tree species for these owls in Northern California.
Finally, I returned where I started and saw a partially obscured cavity and noticed a single screech owl in the cavity. She shuffled around and then out popped the second one, which was clearly smaller and a male. Shooting was a challenge as I had to shoot off a soft slope, which made long exposures tricky. I was fortunate to grab a few sharp frames regardless - and I just loved the way they were leaning on each other and listening to hikers, songbirds and road noise.
Amazingly, the female landed a few feet away from me in a bush and just watched me and preened. I fumbled around as it was much too dark at this point for images, so I just enjoyed the moment until she took off on her evening hunt.
Looking forward to spend more time with these beauties this summer
