A silhouetted tree awaits for the morning Sun to melt the mist revealing its true Spring colors.
Happy Mono Monday!
Judging by the Hawkeye symbols - it looks as though some of the college fans enjoy these benches - cold and cruddy!
Happy Bench Monday!

A chilly December morning for a couple of fishermen! You can even see reflection of some snow at top.
Happy Mono Monday!
Like a weed in the middle of your lawn there are occasional areas of grasses that pop through the wind rippled sandy landscape. Although I converted to mono - the original looked almost the same.
Happy Mono Monday!
Came across on a corner in a small town of less that 400 people - there may have been more people e but looks like they left this place for greener pastures. Happy Mono Monday (HMM)!
Taken from a moving car on I-45, passing Madisonville TX.
We have driven this highway countless times in all kinds of weather. I often think it would be nice just to do a little road trip here, only for photography, because we so often have had a tight schedule on regular trips. Next best thing—drive-by shooting! 😎 I wasn’t driving.
Happy Mono Monday!
(Back to colorful views of The West tomorrow, I expect. I’ll have more in this series as well, eventually, mostly in color.)

“The Greeting to the Sun” monument in Zadar, Croatia.
“… three hundred, multi-layered glass plates placed on the same level as the stone-paved waterfront. It consists of a 22-meter diameter circle, with photovoltaic solar modules underneath. Lighting elements installed in a circle turn on at night, and produce a light show. The monument, designed by Croatian architect Nikola Bašić, symbolizes communication with nature, …” —Wikipedia
Happy Mono Monday, a day late, and Happy Travel Tuesday! 😎

Our word “Navajo” was originally a Spanish pejorative term meaning “Won’t Go”, used to describe Native Americans who resisted relocation efforts by Spanish settlers. The people call themselves Diné. The map shows the location of the photographer. The view is to the South. Happy Mono Monday!

Part of the Fremont Canyon in Wyoming. The rock colors are a sandy and light reddish color - but really liked the mono version.
Happy Mono Monday!
Afternoon shadows in the Grand Canyon. Alternate title: “Rocks of Ages”. The last of a short series of Canyon photos exploring different styles, but there will be more after a digression to other locations.
Happy Sliders Sunday!

1:06PM. Looking down as we cross the Big Falls (stepped lakes branch) into the Korana River far below. B&W view of the standing stone at left coming up on Mono Monday.

This tiny blossom is less than 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) in diameter with tiny little satellites around the edges. So I did not know if to submit as Macro Monday or Mono Monday - so you get them both!
Happy Macro Monday!

For scale, Lake Powell—shown here as a small strip of water at the bottom of the frame—is more than 166feet (50m) below full pool, where only the darker rock at the top of the frame would show. The Lake is only about 45ft (5m) above deadpool, which chokes off power generation and downstream flow. Full pool is 483ft (178m) above the Colorado River, so the first explorers would have seen an additional 317ft (128m) of section hereabouts, now submerged. Mind-boggling.
Light, shadow, line, form, texture. Hardly any color in the original, so i figure we’re getting enough art without it here. This is the 12 Pro Max portrait lens, 65mm full frame equivalent.

The Old-timers are the trees, of course. The prominent clouds were only just being created at the time of the exposure.
Shot in Leica Profile Dynamic Monochrome. Saved the RAW file just in case, but I liked the B&W better. 24mmFFeq.

I haven't gotten out much lately so went to the old files to find one for Mono Monday. This old barn fell down several years ago and there is no longer any evidence that it existed.
Spruce Tree House under cloudy skies.
“Spruce Tree House, the third largest cliff dwelling (Cliff Palace and Long House are larger), was constructed between about 1211 and 1278 CE by the ancestors of the Pueblo peoples of the Southwest. The dwelling contains about 130 rooms and 8 kivas (kee-vahs), or ceremonial chambers, built into a natural alcove measuring 216 feet (66 meters) at greatest width and 89 feet (27 meters) at its greatest depth. It is thought to have been home for about 60 to 80 people.”
The ruins were re-discovered in 1888, by two local ranchers searching for stray cattle. They climbed down a tall tree—like those at center left—from the mesa top to the front of the dwelling. That tree was later cut down by another early explorer.

Snowy day, so time to play with some edits. One of the many wild mustangs we saw on the trip I spoke of in the last post. Happy Mono Monday.
Our back yard, just after Patty watered all the plants. Wish I could photograph the aroma.
Happy Mono Monday!
13:19 Thence and Whence traffic alternating on the two thick planks, now in a bit deeper water. Reminded me of a Scots expression for a stupid person: “As thick as a plank”, or “as two short planks”, when very exasperated. A steady flow of unsteady pedestrians. Nothing left now but a hard slog up a steep, rough trail in a cold rain, and a couple more photos. The foam is a natural consequence of high mineral concentration in the lakes, and the crashing waves over upstream rapids.

Wait, what? Surely it was “first discovered” about 1211 by the people who engineered and built it, right?
Two exposures, blended end to end. Geotag is approximate.

Fox Squirrel, Sciurus niger, on my roof, taking a dim view of my kitchen window photography. The blind is pulled part way down--she can't see me directly. With the flip screen out and the camera held at knee level, I can see her clearly.

Or what passes for one, these days. Happy Mono Monday! Already posted a photo in Flickr Friday’s Believe theme, but I’ll add that hashtag here in sympathy.

Out prospecting for birds at Seabourne Creek Nature Park, and admiring all the new features added during covid. Paused to collect this creepy little antlered gargoyle emerging from the earth to reach for the stars. Happy Mono Monday, … and pleasant dreams!
