Wow, it's a beautiful January day today. Temp's in the low 80's and a chance of butterflies and sunshine.
There are at least six monarchs flitting about along with several zebra longwings and a couple of goldrims.
The bird shows are beautiful too. The yellow-rumped warbler has made an appearance, I haven't had to opportunity to photograph one yet this year but as long as the palm warblers don't run them off, perhaps I will get a snap in a day or two.
Have a wonderful day and happy snapping.
Any time I get an opportunity to visit Yosemite National Park High Country, I stop to admire Beautiful Tenaya Lake. It is somewhat remote from the vehicles and crowds that swarm the Yosemite Valley Floor, leaving one with a sense of freshness and renewal.
Caught between immense granite domes and clear Sierra Nevada sky, Tenaya Lake is the largest lake in Yosemite National Park. The Lake was named after Chief Tenaya, who was the last chief of the Yosemite Indians.
The lake is located between Yosemite Valley and Tuolumne Meadows. The surface of Tenaya Lake has an elevation of 8,150 feet. The lake basin was formed by glacial action, which left a backdrop of light granite rocks, whose beauty was well known to the Native Americans.

A golden moment at the Lakeshore pier on Lake St. Clair. The end of summer is fast approaching and I have had the opportunity to take in some very beautiful sunrises and sunsets. But, fall is one of my favourite seasons, with lots of golden colour.
A February evening Passenger/ Parcels train stands at Platform 1 while parcels are loaded and unloaded giving a few of the passengers an opportunity to stretch their legs.

Sorry to bother you once again with this most-photographed scene on my stream. But once in a while I need to go to this beautiful place to shoot. This time it was really challenging because of many many mosquitos around. So probably this will be the one and only image of that pond this year :-)
Happy Sunday, dear friends!
Winter Fog..
A sudden fog blanketed the area and presented the opportunity to get some amazing shots.
The snow was cold and a warm front moved into the area bringing thick fog which made for poor visibility and frustrating driving. as you could only see a few hundred feet and even then not very well.

A juvenile Northern Pygmy Owl chatters on this branch and gives me one look back opportunity. I wasn't sure if I got the frame but was happy when I looked over my files that day.
“If you learn to really sit with loneliness and embrace it for the gift that it is…an opportunity to get to know YOU, to learn how strong you really are, to depend on no one but YOU for your happiness…you will realize that a little loneliness goes a LONG way in creating a richer, deeper, more vibrant and colorful YOU.”

The sparrowhawk is surely one of the UK's most striking raptors.
Unfortunately this male's own strike was far from successful and his chosen prey had long since fled when I took this shot.

Many thanks to all those who take the time to comment on my photos. It is truly appreciated.
This Barn Owl was perched on the post behind the tree making it difficult to get a good angle for a shot, when a brief gust of wind moved the branches allowing me to capture this photo, hence the title.
We were trekking through the woods when we came across this delightful woodland opportunity. It was at the beginning of the trail when we started and in the shade. Hours later, it was at the end of the trail when we returned, and in the light.
In the tutorials I give we usually start with the technical of photography. We then move on to the artistic and advance onto light. It typically moves the shot into the next category. Many want to get off of automatic and others desire a better composition. At the end of the trail, light is key.
This is my take on this year's Uncommon Common art installation in Grand Pre, Nova Scotia. It was designed and erected by Nicole Evans and Patrick Farrell.

"Life is nothing but an opportunity for love to blossom."
Since the last weeks were quite busy I haven't had that much time for photography and hence I decided to upload a picture which I took in summer and which I quite like, especially in combination with the quote above. I hope you like it too!
I thought I saw a person working on a farm in the footpath, but in fact it was someone waiting a photo opportunity.😆
農作業中の人がいる、と思ってシャッターを切ったのですが、その人は写真撮影中の人でした😆
I love this angle looking northeast toward downtown St. Paul. This photo took a long wait, as the glaciers probably moved faster than did this manifest trying to make a start down the Mankato Subdivision. This train left Hoffman Yard and slowly worked its way to under the Wabasha Street Bridge then stopped for 10 minutes. The train then moved the distance of two city blocks near Ontario Street then stopped. I figured there had to be opposing traffic or something causing them to be so hesitant. Sure enough, a long manifest was ending its journey on the Mankato Subdivision and coming into St. Paul. Another 30 minutes went by, perhaps to give traffic downtown a break - the first manifest occupied Chestnut Street for 15 minutes. Finally, this westbound finally moved onto the Mankato Subdivision and completed a glorious scene here viewed from the High Bridge. I estimate it took 1 hour and 30 minutes for this to get here from Hoffman Yard - a distance of only three miles away.

Thanks for visiting and for your faves and comments.
There was no queue for this shot but normally there would be. I think 2021 will live long in the memory for the year that tourism basically stopped
Some doors are meant to be closed , and when you try to reopen them , remember why they were closed in the first place .
On my way to the city centre I noticed that the gate to the back yard of a shop was open with fairy lights sparkling, so I took the opportunity to quickly take a photo of the scene.
I can't resist fairy lights when I have mounted a vintage (or fast) lens onto one of my cameras ; ))

Sumter National Forest, Westminster, South Carolina...I was really glad for the opportunity to get out and shoot today! The cloud cover worked out well for about seven hours and I visited four landmark waterfalls starting in Westminster and worked my way across over to Tamassee. I arrived here at the trailhead right when the sun hit the horizon. This series of waterfalls known as Brasstown Falls (actually in five prominent cascading sections) was one of the first I visited in 2017 when I seriously undertook waterfall photography, so it owns a special place in my heart.

While trying to get some shots of the European Kestrel I came across this interesting situation. Obviously the Common Buzzard just killed -and was feasting on- a bird while this crow (?) was nearby waiting for the left overs. You can almost read the common buzzards thoughts......
I couldn't resist to upload this image as it was so interesting to watch.

Thanks a lot for your visit, fave and comments. Its truly appreciated!
Madrid is blessed with wonderful parks, including the notable Parque De El Retiro. Strolling through this expansive park offers many photographic opportunities, but I decided to begin with this one, looking back at features of the city from just inside one of the park entrances. I hoped the image would emphasize the important refuge parks provide from busy city life.
I know it is an iconic image and grossly overdone... but it is a cool view and it does taste so much better to get your own shot.
This is a 5 image HDR to properly expose the contrasted scene and then adjusted in Lightroom to match the drama as witnessed. My daughter and I set up 45 minutes early perched on rock overhang waithing for the sun to drop below the storm clouds that had just moistened the rock, increasing the contrast and saturation. It was the first time I planned and executed a shot based on the vision I could see in my mind's eye. It turned out better than I imagined.
In March I had an opportunity to visit my sister in Victoria, Texas. While visiting we toured many areas where I was able to get a photo shoot in. On this day we stayed in Victoria and traveled to the outskirts where this lazy river was flowing. Right on that river bank was a bar and grill where we relaxed with a Martini and shrimp. Such a nice view from their outdoor deck! Some of the views are abstract with many reflections. I will be uploading each place separately as I get them ready to view.
