A winter view south across Utah's Emigration Canyon to the higher Wasatch beyond. The canyon was first traversed by the Donner Party in 1846, and then, a year later by the Mormon pioneers who settled the Salt Lake Valley below. This became a favored route through the imposing Wasatch Mountains to the far west.
Texture: Topaz.

Au sujet de l’art…
Je profite de Migration, pour continuer à partager avec vous mes réflexions sur l’art et la photographie…Aujourd’hui: Qu’est-ce que la beauté ?
Le point de vue d’un philosophe
« Le beau est ce qui plaît universellement sans qu’on puisse dire pourquoi il nous plaît : le beau est irréductible à un concept, à un modèle, à une explication » (E. KANT)
Le point de vue de ceux qui savent 😂
« On nous apprend souvent à chercher la beauté en toutes choses… Alors pour la trouver, le profane demande conseil au philosophe, tandis que le philosophe, ne sachant pas quoi répondre, s’en remet… au photographe. » (Criss Jamy. Killosophy)

About art ...
I take advantage of Migration, to continue to share with you my thoughts on art and photography ... Today: What is beauty?
The point of view of a philosopher
« Beauty is what universally pleases without being able to say why it pleases us: beauty is irreducible to a concept, a model, an explanation » (Kant)
The point of view of those who know 😂
"We are often taught to seek beauty in all things ... So to find it, the layperson asks the philosopher, while the philosopher, not knowing what to answer, relies on ... the photographer. (Criss Jamy, Killosophy)
Look at the sky. We are not alone. The whole universe is friendly to us and conspires only to give the best to those who dream and work.

Every year the Trumpeter Swans stop in this flooded field just outside of Grand Bend,Ontario. They are headed north as far as the Artic.
Grand Bend, Ontario
Canada
Philadelphia vireos summer in Canada, and though this one is not much south of the border, it is likely en route to winter quarters in central America, and not a resident here in far northern New York. Any seen in Philadelphia are almost certainly in the midst of migration - north, or south.
Sandhill Crane.
Between 34 to 48 inches in length with a wingspan of nearly 7 feet. They are very tall with a long neck and long legs. Largely gray with a red forehead. Juveniles browner with no red on head. Plumage often appears a rusty color because of iron stains from water of ponds or marshes.
They inhabit large freshwater marshes, prairie ponds and marshy tundra. They are also on prairies and grain fields during migration and in winter.
They range from Siberia and Alaska east across arctic Canada to the Hudson Bay and south to western Ontario. There are isolated populations in the Rocky Mountians, northern prairies, and the Great Lakes region along with in Mississippi, Georgia and Florida. They winter in California's Central Valley and across the southern states from Arizona to Florida. They can also be found in Cuba.

I planted several milkweed bushes a couple of weeks ago to help Monarchs on their migration. To my delight, I've seen several stopping by. This one was shy, and every time I approached, he retreated. He appeared to watch me from a tree, waiting for me to leave him in peace. So I did.....
This spring I heard the soft gurgling song of an Eastern Bluebird. I thought it couldn't possibly be, since bluebirds don't inhabit the woods. I looked up and there she was looking around, just long enough for me to get a shot off. She could see this wasn't the right place for her to raise her family. Our property surrounded by large trees just wouldn't do. Glad she stopped by.
Not usually my style to include man made houses and things but for some reason I love this shot. Hundreds of Sandhill Cranes migrating across Colorado. The Sangre de Cristo mountain range in the background.
Lots of warblers on the move in the last few days .Fall migration is happening here.

If you look carefully, I think you can spot eighteen monarchs nectaring on the Joe Pyes here. It was a beautiful day to get to witness this marvel of nature as these butterflies make their way from Canada to Mexico.
This is a fall female and you can see the differences from the previous post. She is a rather dull female so she could be a first fall bird as sometimes it is hard to age this species. Notice the uniform brownish appearance of the face patch without any black along the upper and/posterior edge as you would be expected in a first fall male. First fall males also tend to have more black in the plumage dorsally. I did a more distant crop to bring in some of the early fall yellows in the leaves. My settings were a bit much here but in early morning with different lighting around and rapidly changing lighting with different birds in a flock moving around sometimes you just have to grab the shot with what you have.
Hudsonian Godwit (Limosa haemastica), in a transition moult stage during its southward migration, feeds along the shores of Miquelon Lakes southeast of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
