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.
The word sail, a monument to poetry, is the name of a steel sculpture by Heinrich Popp.
The sculpture stands on an open field northwest of Sotzweiler, the birthplace of the sculptor and today a district of the Saarland municipality of Tholey in the district of St. Wendel. On an elevation of about 338 metres above NHN, the sculpture represents a landmark visible from afar.
The word sail consists of two sail-shaped triangles, one of which stands on the top and which are twisted against each other. The two halves of the sail, made of stainless steel, are welded together at their highest point. At the same time, the empty space between the two steel plates also has a sail-like shape, depending on the point of view.
The monument, a gift from Heinrich Popp to his home community, was erected in 2005 after several years of planning and execution. The two steel plates were cast in the Dillinger Hütte and rolled to a thickness of 3 cm. The sculpture has a height of 13 meters and a total weight of approx. 30 tons.
The term word sail is also the name of a writing and poetry competition initiated by the artist at participating schools in Saarland.

Das Wortsegel, ein Denkmal für Poesie, ist der Name einer Stahlplastik von Heinrich Popp.
Die Skulptur steht auf offenem Feld nordwestlich von Sotzweiler, dem Geburtsort des Bildhauers und heute ein Ortsteil der saarländischen Gemeinde Tholey im Landkreis St. Wendel. Auf einer Anhöhe von etwa 338 Metern über NHN stellt die Plastik eine weithin sichtbare Landmarke dar.
Das Wortsegel besteht aus zwei jeweils segelförmigen Dreiecken, von denen eins auf der Spitze steht und die gegeneinander verdreht/verspiegelt aufgestellt sind. An ihrer obersten Stelle sind die beiden aus rostendem Stahl erschaffenen Segelhälften miteinander verschweißt. Gleichzeitig besitzt auch der sich zwischen den beiden Stahlplatten befindende leere Raum abhängig vom Betrachtungsstandpunkt ebenfalls eine segelähnliche Form.
Das Denkmal, ein Geschenk von Heinrich Popp an seine Heimatgemeinde, wurde nach mehrjähriger Planungs- und Ausführungsphase 2005 errichtet. Die beiden Stahlplatten wurden in der Dillinger Hütte gegossen und bis auf eine Stärke von 3 cm gewalzt. Die Skulptur hat eine Höhe von 13 Metern und besitzt ein Gesamtgewicht von ca. 30 Tonnen
Der Begriff Wortsegel ist gleichzeitig der Name eines von dem Künstler ins Leben gerufenen Schreib- und Lyrikwettbewerbs an teilnehmenden Schulen im Saarland.

I counted off a few bucket list items on this trip, this being one of them. What a way to start the year off! The weather wasnt "ideal" It was overcast and dreary, it lacked in contrast, the light was flat and it was raining cats and dogs. Amazing! I had on a waterproof jacket and my duck boots were perfect. I stood on that beach till I HAD to put my cameras away and head back to the car because the tide started coming in and the wind pretty much knocked me over. It was blowing so hard the trees were bent at the top. I couldn't have set up a tripod even if I tried. I'll share a photo from the beach sometime else. If you follow me on the other platform then you saw that already!♡
My favorite composition of the beach was as I first saw it, arriving at the beach. I'll never ever forget seeing it for the first time. I swear time stopped, I couldnt breathe and my heart was beating so fast. I dont think I've ever had a scene do that to me before. I am so glad my husband was driving or I would have likely run off the road.
My husband was a very good sport and spoiled the mess out of my eyeballs and we burned several great memories into our brains on this beach ♡
Happy fence friday y'all!
While out shooting I noticed a crop duster operating in the field next to me but didn't think much about it until the noise grew louder and I turned to see this. Immediately the famous crop duster scene in North By Northwest came to mind. I was tempted to run and make my escape but I'm no Cary Grant so I decided to take the photo instead.
As always, your faves and comments are appreciated. Constructive criticism and suggestions are especially welcome as I believe they help to make me a better photographer. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.

The Cascade and Coastal Mountains offer unsurpassed natural beauty in the Pacific Northwest especially in the evening hours when the mountains and hills are tucked in for the night with a soft blanket of haze. All that's missing is a lullaby.
Mt Jefferson caught the afternoon light. From where I snapped the shot, it stands approximately forty miles north beyond the Sisters Wilderness Area.
We went back to try and shoot some more of Change Creek Falls. We were successful in getting to a spot where we could get a good view of this part of the waterfall. According to the Northwest Waterfall Survey, the falls drop a total of 345 feet in nine tiers. This is one of the lower tiers.

Croatia is a country in Southeast Europe. It borders Slovenia to the northwest, Hungary to the northeast, Serbia to the east, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro to the southeast, sharing a maritime border with Italy. Croatia was part of the former Yugoslavia. A population of 4 million, most of whom are Catholics. Zagreb is the capital. Balanced between the Balkans and Central Europe, this country has been passed between rival kingdoms, empires and republics for thousands of years. If there is an advantage to this ongoing disruption, it is in the rich cultural legacy each has left behind. From Venetian palaces, Napoleonic fortresses, Slavic churches, Viennese mansions to socialist sculptures. But most attraction is the coastline with the remarkable clarity of the water and white pebbly beach. Despite being the fastest rising holiday destination in Europe in the past decade, Croatia still doesn't feel overrun by tourists. There are long sandy and winding beaches too, perfect for lazy days. Croatia is a beautiful country to discover many different landscapes. Dubrovnik is according to many one of the most beautiful cities on the Adriatic coast. This city in Croatia is also called the Pearl of the Adriatic. The historic center, or rather the completely walled fortress city of Dubrovnik, is on the list of UNESCO World Heritage. This part is still in a remarkably good condition. A wonderful place to discover on foot, it is a city with a diverse, but also rough past. Remarkably, the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque churches, as well as the various monasteries, palaces and fountains have been preserved. They all tell their own story from the Middle Ages.
Dubrovnik is a city on the Adriatic Sea in southern Croatia. It is one of the most prominent tourist destinations in the Mediterranean Sea. The history of the city probably dates back to the 7th century. The city is completely surrounded by defensive walls and fortresses. Franciscan Church and Monastery is situated at the Placa, the main street of Dubrovnik. It's a large complex consists of a monastery, a church, a library and a pharmacy. This church is lovely inside. The library contains over 70,000 books.The earliest monastery was built in the 13th century. The monastery was built in 1360 in late Romanesque style. A beautiful cloister garden hidden away from the busy tourist places in Dubrovnik. Peaceful and silent despite being in the heart of the old city this is a tiny and unexpected oasis of green within historic architecture. Still a sacred place but with a small museum of artefacts and paintings. The pharmacy dates from 1317 and is the oldest still functioning pharmacy in the Europe Photo taken from 14th-century fortress Tvrđava Minčeta located at the highest point of Dubrovnik offering panoramic city & sea views.
Kroatië is een land in Zuidoost-Europa. Het grenst aan Slovenië in het noordwesten, Hongarije in het noordoosten, Servië in het oosten, Bosnië-Herzegovina en Montenegro in het zuidoosten en deelt een maritieme grens met Italië. Kroatië maakte deel uit van het voormalige Joegoslavië. Een bevolking van 4 miljoen, van wie de meesten katholiek zijn. Zagreb is de hoofdstad. In evenwicht tussen de Balkan en Centraal-Europa, wordt dit land al duizenden jaren doorgegeven tussen rivaliserende koninkrijken, rijken en republieken. De meeste attractie is de kustlijn met de opmerkelijke helderheid van het water en het witte kiezelstrand. Ondanks dat het de afgelopen tien jaar de snelst stijgende vakantiebestemming in Europa is, voelt Kroatië zich nog steeds niet overspoeld door toeristen. Dubrovnik is volgens velen één van de mooiste steden van de Adriatische kust. Deze stad wordt ook wel de 'Parel van de Adriatische Zee' genoemd. De compleet ommuurde vestingstad van Dubrovnik, staat op de lijst van Werelderfgoed van UNESCO. Dit deel is nog in een opvallend goede staat. Een heerlijke plek om te voet te ontdekken. De stad Dubrovnik is volledig omgeven door verdedigingsmuren en forten. De Franciscaanse kerk en klooster is gelegen aan de Placa, de hoofdstraat van Dubrovnik. Het is een groot complex dat bestaat uit een klooster, een kerk, een bibliotheek en een apotheek. Deze kerk is prachtig van binnen. De bibliotheek bevat meer dan 70.000 boeken. Het eerste klooster werd gebouwd in de 13e eeuw. Een prachtige kloostertuin verborgen weg van de drukke toeristenplaatsen in Dubrovnik. Vreedzaam en stil ondanks dat je in het hart van de oude stad bent. Het is een kleine en onverwachte oase van groen binnen de historische architectuur. Nog steeds een heilige plaats, maar met een klein museum van kunstvoorwerpen en schilderijen. De apotheek dateert uit 1317 en is de oudste nog functionerende apotheek in Europa. Foto genomen vanaf het 14e-eeuwse fort Tvrđava Minčeta, gelegen op het hoogste punt van Dubrovnik, met panoramisch uitzicht op de stad en de zee.

Witnessing the magic of golden hour at one of the Pacific Northwest’s most breathtaking beaches was just stunning.

A stroll behind a waterfall. This is why people love the Pacific Northwest. And I have to say, iPhone has come a long ways. Its long exposures post editing feature is almost, if not as good as dslr.

We didn't see any rattlesnakes on the way to Rattlesnake Ledge but we did see this garter snake on the way back down. This species of garter snake is common throughout the Pacific Northwest of Oregon, Washington and British Columbia

Today—warm, a bit hazy, cloudless—makes me long for the beach. I prefer the beach, honestly, with a few to many clouds... but really, isn't it good in any weather?

This is a photo from last month- finally had time between exams to finish editing it. Im so glad I was able to get to this waterfall again before the rain makes it impossible to get to. Looking forward to foggy mornings this November.

Although they are usually called a Cougar, a Mountain Lion or a Panther, they are also often referred to as Painter, Deer Tiger and Catamount, depending on your geographic location. The Cougar has forty recognized names in the English language as well as at least twenty-five native North American names and eighteen South American names. All of which just goes to show how important scientific names are when referring to a species of animal. Like all other animals the Puma has only one scientific name (although this name may be changed to reflect our increasing scientific knowledge). Currently the Puma is Puma concolor (it was Felis concolor but this name is not now correct as the Puma is no longer considered to be a member of the genus Felis.)
For animals that hunt at night an enhanced sense of touch is obviously useful and for cats this is supplied by special sensitive hairs called vibrissae by scientists, but otherwise commonly known as whiskers. Vibrissae are extremely sensitive to touch and can tell the cat about even small changes in air movement around it. Being longer than ordinary hairs they are the first part of a cat to touch the world and they therefore allow a cat to move around in complete darkness without bumping into things.
Felines, with the notable exception of lions and to a lesser extent domestic cats, are habitually solitary, however they are sometimes are found in pairs (either m/m, f/f or m/f) or larger groups consisting of a single adult female and her immature young. Three quarters of cat species live in forests and many prefer a dense undergrowth that helps them approach their prey unseen.

I had the remains of my picnic here. The white doves in the sky kept circling and flashing in the sunlight, it was an amazing place to sit for a few minutes.
