One from the archives. This was taken in Rathtrevor Park on Vancouver Island.
Kind of a dangerous bench for people not looking where they're going :)
HBM!
It was a bluebird sky when we left for Squamish the other day, but I was happy to see this large cloud over the mountain to add some interest to the sky. This is the Squamish estuary - the tide was the lowest I've ever seen it.
Another few weeks and there will be a lot more green here - right now it's still kind of wintery looking.

First morning light shining through the trees. I was very happy when this jogger ran through my composition!
Eastern San Diego County in Southern California. Processed with Lightroom, Photoshop, Texture and Topaz filters.
The leaves on the trees we approached were a molten gold, like an artist had taken a sunset and poured it over the forest, and the crisp smell of the coming winter floated on the autumn breeze. It was early afternoon, and the birds sang bright and loud in the treetops.

There are a lot of tutorials on the Orton Effect. Here's an example:

Pike County near Molena, Georgia
In some mysterious way, woods have never seemed to me to be static things. In physical terms, I move through them; yet in metaphysical ones, they seem to move through me.

This is another scene from the mountain bike trail we hiked on in Whistler last week.
Late evening at Circle B Bar Reserve near Lakeland, Florida. This family was strolling the path like they owned it . . . and they did. [FA]

Somewhere roadside in the Scottish Highlands showing my mum (whom I worship the ground she walks on) the special beauty of the Scottish Highlands – mum wasn’t disappointed!

Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth.

If you've ever watched the Netflix series, Virgin River, you've seen this cabin. It's the one that Mel lived in. And it's been in so many movies....it was McGyver's cabin back in the 1980's, Stargate, and the list goes on and on. It is in North Vancouver, so yesterday, we decided to walk to it.
It's really tucked away, in fact, I didn't know it was there till last week. It's in Murdo Frazer Park - a short walk through the woods, and you're there, 10 minutes from a residential area and the highway is very close, but you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere.
It was originally built around 1950 as a wilderness hunting lodge, and the owner added the handmade duck pond you see here. North Vancouver District acquired it in 1969. Nowadays it is used only for filming at $2,500 a day. This year the cabin is going to be updated and it has been declared a heritage designation.
With all the water around here - the pond and MacKay Creek running through the park, everything is still pretty green here.
Zuidendijk - Dordrecht on Saturday morning. The mist was too dense for sunrise.
Single RAW file processed with Orton Effect and a cloud texture I made from a tutorial by Karen Brockney on Photoshop Elements Users to replace some of the fog lost during processing
Whittier Narrows, near Los Angeles, California. Textured 720nm digital color infrared processed with Lightroom, Photoshop, Lumenzia and Topaz filters.
Literally, in more ways than one. A happy accident..an in camera norton effect due to leaving off the stabilisation. Yet the softness captures the serene feel of the light in that vast forest I was walking through at the time.
Greater lockdown restrictions mean it will be even longer before we can get out for such trips. Archives will still need plundering for sometime to come.
In this scene: Itâs early morning November 04 2021 and mum and I are slowly gathering ourselves for the journey home from our time in London. As a side comment; we got upgraded to a suite with a window view spanning what seemed from within the whole width of Parliament. As I put the kettle on to make us a brew I turned the news on â BREAKING NEWS! Extinction Rebellion have blocked the road (a major route) into Westminster and The Houses of Parliament; a peaceful protest against crimes to the environment and a message to Government. I opened the curtains to find that what was being relayed on the TV news was developing in real-time (seen just right of Big Ben as you view this image) from our expansive hotel viewpoint. We sipped our tea, watched and listened. Stuck in a trance-like state of the moment I suddenly became conscious; âSh!t mum! Weâd better get ready our trainâs at..!â And so our scurrying began.
I donât actually recall capturing the scene. I certainly missed the glory of this burning sunrise. Sometimes youâre in the moment when youâre not really in the moment.

Enjoying the evening hours along the trail, these two sandhill cranes measure 36-48 inches from beak-tip to tail-tip and have a wingspan of 6-7 feet. This pair was spotted at Circle B Bar Reserve, a wetland reserve near Lakeland, Florida.
This image is a 'softening' of the original photograph I posted at www.flickr.com/photos/bobcarter/27328797646/in/photolist-...
As many of you know, I love being in the forest. I took this on Mt. Habrich, on top of the Sea to Sky Gondola. The trail was mostly empty, but it was nice to see another photographer along the way.
I didn't really have any time for photography while away, as it was all family visits, but I did get a few from the ferry while on the way there and back. I will do my best to catch up on your latest images today :)

Zoom in and take a look around :)
Hiding in the shadows in the grass at Hollis Gardens in Lakeland, Florida, were these beautiful little flowers, about the size of a thumb nail. I have softened this image compared to the original upload. [OE]
As we explored around French Farm Lake near Mackinaw City, Michigan, the forest floor seemed alive with color. (OE)

Maybe it is a bit early in the year, but the weather feels kind of like autumn....and I love autumn!
Taken at the National Botanic Gardens of Wales. Something different to my usual seascapes! One day I will do a landscape shot with no water at all!!! Processed using the Orton effect for Sliders Sunday - HSS
I set myself a photo challenge on Friday night. No camera bag full of gear, just the camera and an 85mm prime. No compositions. No setting up. Just point & shoot. This is a quick snap of Princes Bridge. There is a lot going on in this scene. I really liked the people walking along Flinders Walk - bottom left corner.
We have many 'favorite' waterfalls in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, but Bond Falls is my favorite. It has a U-shaped boardwalk that provides many angles of view around the lower area and stone steps climbing up its righthand side to the cascades above.
The waterfall is about 100 feet wide with a 50 foot fall.
Bond Falls is a waterfall on the middle branch of the Ontonagon River, a few miles east of Paulding in Haight Township in southern Ontonagon County, Michigan. The site is near U.S. 45 in the western portion of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
We arrived before sunrise at Oxbow Bend at The Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, USA. The scene was already elbow-to-elbow photographers. As we waited for the sun to come up severals bus loads of tourists arrived and emptied out their cargo of passengers who ran amok among us. Of the many shots on this morning, this one was taken perhaps 30 minutes or so after sunrise. My original 'finished' work can be seen at: www.flickr.com/photos/bobcarter/26791059751/in/album-7215...
