Oh Lord, won't you buy me a pair of hands?
My friends all go bowling, but I don't have hands,
Prayed hard all my lifetime, please give me a chance
So, Lord, won't you buy me a pair of hands?

Iceland's ice wilderness in the South is something one needs to have encountered once in a lifetime. The landscape is flat with mountain ranges in the far distance, covered in ice, snow and in some parts also volcanic ash and countless riviets and small rivers carrying water from the mountains towards the coast nearby. I shot this early morning after we left the "container hotel" where we had rested and the dawn light was just amazing over this wilderness.
Get our new Icelandic Waterfalls calendar!
This shot was taken out in the Bisit Badlands of New Mexico. I was out shooting with friends in this very remote area outside of Farmington and was delighted to trek in with 5 friends and emerge with nine. If you are interested in a trip to this and several other locations there, Wayne Pinkston and I will be hosting a couple of workshops to this very location in July 2018.
We will be covering all aspects of Nightscape Photography from start to finish, All apps used to calculate Milky Way position and time to shoot, how to confidently make your way through the wilderness in the dark using GPS and everything you need to know to capture the image of a lifetime. Come out and join us on our adventure "Fantasy Themed" Workshop. The will also be hosting a post-processing session after the workshop. If you would like to come and hang out with Wayne and I and learn our LLL process then DM or Flickr Mail me or Wayne for more details. or click the link below to sign up!! looking forward to shooting with you. :)

She was one of the greatest loves of my life. She was my once in a lifetime dog and friend. This was her in all of her wondrous glory back in 1997 on a week long backpacking trip into Algonquin Provincial Park. If you look closely you can see her bear bell around her neck. She was quite young here and lived to be 15 years old and still continues to live deep within my heart.
The information says taken on November 29th 2020 however that is when I took a photo of the original photo which was taken back in 1997.
This was once a busy spot in Steveston BC when the local fish packing plants were running at full speed. Now everything lies in ruins and disrepair as people stroll by not even knowing what once was!! Vlog Below!!

After much love and care for over 4 years, one of my air plants has finally bloomed! 😃
Well, to my surprise, I just learned that air plants only bloom once in their lifetime. 😥
Once blooming is over, baby air plants will be produced, and they will eventually mature into their own “adult” air plant. 😊
Such a beautiful circle of life! 💖
PS: I recognize it's not the best photo. The light was flat yesterday, but I am too lazy to take another one today. Indoor flower macro shots are not easy to take IMO; I applaud all the macro photographers out there! 👏👏👏

We left Tirana for Lake Ohrid during intense thunderstorms and torential rains. Once on the backside of the mountains, the rain cleared and the sun came out. The clear fall air and the brilliant sun made for the most intense and vibrant rainbow I've seen in my lifetime. It cast a rainbow aura over the lake surface and a double rainbow started to emerge, which is visible in the upper right of this image.

At Pashley Manor Gardens you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These graceful gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.
All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme.
Pashley is also renowned for fantastic displays of tulips, roses and dahlias. Our annual Tulip Festival features more than 48,000 tulips this year! During Special Rose Week over a hundred varieties of rose swathe the walls, climb obelisks and bloom in flower beds. Then in late summer our Dahlia Days event transforms the gardens once more with bountiful, brightly coloured dahlias in every border and pot.
Add to all this a Café and Terrace with excellent garden views, serving delicious homemade lunches, scones and cakes; Sculpture and Art Exhibitions; a Gift Shop with Plant Sales; and a friendly, knowledgeable team waiting to welcome you, and the recipe for a wonderful day out is complete.

We have in Toronto a celebrity, unlike any. The biggest tribute mural is near the park where she lives (lived), but there are several smaller tributes. This garage door mural is in an alley, which have several interesting murals from 2018. I have not seen her/him, it in my lifetime in the city, but photo evidence is almost as compelling as George Floyds video. Not only this squirrel has a statue, several murals, even a coffee shop and streets are named after it. This mural is by Karen Roberts, several blocks from the park.

A Taurid fireball meteor blazes green by the Moon while totally eclipsed. Photo captured from the city of Roanoke! I was only a few shots in from changing lens from my 70-300 mm to my 18-200 mm and best of all I was taking a photo while it occurred. Incredible to witness and once in a lifetime to capture! Red and Green for the Holidays. I am still high from the capture!

Helenium is a genus of annuals and deciduous herbaceous perennials in the sunflower family native to the Americas.
They bear yellow or orange daisy-like composite flowers. A number of these species (particularly Helenium autumnale) have the common name sneezeweed, based on the former use of their dried leaves in making snuff. It was inhaled to cause sneezing that would supposedly rid the body of evil spirits. Larger species may grow up to 2 metres (6.6 ft) tall.
The genus is named for Helen of Troy, daughter of Zeus and Leda. Helenium species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Phymatopus behrensii.
Numerous cultivars have been developed for garden use - mainly from H. autumnale and H. bigelovii. They are useful for late summer and fall bloom, usually in less formal compositions. They are appropriate for native gardens in areas where they are indigenous, and they look wonderfully in bouquets. Annual species are easily grown from seed, and perennials should be divided every year in order to retain their vigor. The soil should be fertile with a generous amount of organic manner in the form of compost, manure or other decayed organic matter in addition to, perhaps, an application of a complete fertilizer in spring. Heleniums should be grown in full sun average to moist soil with good drainage. They are drought tolerant, but should be watered on planting and regularly until established. The following have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit:-
'Baudirektor Linne'[10]
'Blütentisch'[11]
'Butterpat'[12]
'Feuersiegel'[13]
'Gartensonne'[14]
'Karneol'[15]
'Moerheim Beauty'[16]
'Ring of Fire'[17]
'Rubinzwerg'[18]
'Sahin's Early Flowerer'[19]
'Waltraut'[20]
'Wesergold'[21]
Helenium Hybrid has brilliant yellow petals surrounding spherical brown cones covered with golden pollen. It grows to 0.9 metres (3 ft) tall and takes up about 0.6 metres (2 ft) of space, the hardiness zone rating is 4-9. Its Flowers appear for six weeks from mid to late summer and attract butterflies in droves. It provides a splash of colour when many other perennials are starting to fade, it may accompany ornamental grasses, Phlox and Liatris.
The UK National Collection of Heleniums is located at Yew Tree House, Hall Lane, Hankelow near Audlem in Cheshire.

I was looking through some of my images from a few years ago and realised that I had not uploaded this particular photo to Flickr. It was, most probably, a once in a lifetime encounter with this wild chameleon as we were walking along a path in Spain.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
