This is arguably my favourite photo of this year so far. When exploring Torndirrup National Park on the south coast of Western Australia, I came across this scene which instantly sent out a "long exposure alert" in my mind. The glow of the fading light illuminated the canal between the rocks, the clouds moved quite fast in the sky and the water shimmered gently right in front of me. There was no dramatic wave action but there was just enough of water moving between the rocks to create a misty effect that I envisioned.

Though Winter has been brutally cold and many with more snow than other areas or snow in places that don't get snow, my perception is Wisconsin had a mild Winter so far.
In a time of mass communication and endless digital reproduction of imagery - ask yourself: what are my sources of perception? How do I learn about the reality we live in? There is a very good chance, in particular if you are addicted to social media, that these sources are primarily digitalised images. There is nothing wrong with images as such, of course (otherwise we would not be on Flickr). Just continue asking things like who is making these images and for what purpose. Do these images "speak for themselves"? If they do, be very very careful. Images are important, but they can never replace critical analysis - words in other words. The "pictorial turn" - public culture guided by quick and mass-produced images - is a dead end if it is not accompanied by a culture of talking things through.
Same day, same flowers just a different focus. Thankful for the joy of a beautiful spring day, of seeing the light of the sun on the flowers and the green grass, to see the ripples from the wind on the water and to feel the warmth. Thankful for this gift of a camera that we can capture these moments and share with our friends.
I absolutely love reflections. I seem to find them all over and the scene in the reflection seems to be very different each time. I loved how the tree branches seemed to go in and out of the asphalt.

Vehicle carrier approaching Cape Cod Railroad Bridge
The railroad bridge has a 544-foot main span, with a 135-foot clearance when raised. It is the second longest lift bridge in the United States, At the time of its completion 1935, it was the longest vertical lift span in the world. The Railroad Bridge is a vertical lift bridge. The center span lifts up and down. After ensuring the Canal is clear of large commercial traffic, the bridge span will be lowered for a train
to cross. Counterweights are the secret to how it
moves. The 2,200-ton center span is counter-weighted by two 1,100-ton concrete filled steel-plated boxes that hang in each tower. The span is connected to the counterweights by 40 steel cables that hang in each tower.
