a windy evening in Arches National Park near the end of the Park Avenue hike. The storm clouds just piled up and blocked the sunset.
As always, thanks so much for stopping by.

The historic Curly Phillips Boathouse floating nicely below Leah Peak on a windy day. Taken on last day of the season at Maligne Lake.
"Donald Nelson "Curly" Phillips was a Canadian guide, outfitter, entrepreneur, and explorer who was a part of many pioneering expeditions in the northern Canadian Rockies in the early twentieth century. He settled in Jasper, Alberta, and was involved in the development of mountain tourism in the region.
He built the historic boathouse in 1928 to accommodate the guests of his hunting and fishing trips. To boost his business, he raised the Maligne Lake rainbow trout, which he transported in barrels to Maligne Lake. Until his sudden death in an avalanche in 1936, he lived and dwelt in the boat house, which is now run by the Maligne Lake Tours." Wiki
Have a fabulous Friday and wonderful weekend!
Pleione orchids series. An attractive Pleione is the last that come to bloom out of 9 hybrids we’ve got early February and probably most handsome looking one. It was labelled Pleione speciose ‘Blakeway Philips’ (also known as Pln. pleionoides ‘Blakeway Philips’). This is not a registered hybrid accepted by the RHS. Some sites list it as a clone of variable appearance and Google images were not helpful in finding what flowers should look like – thrill of the unknown. Here is our ‘version’ of Pleione 'Blakeway Phillips', and it’s still growing. Pleione orchids are miniature orchids with large flowers that in the wild grow on foothills and in mountain areas of East and South East countries. Common names include Peacock orchids thank to large showy flowers or Windowsill orchids due to small plant sizes. Native names include Glory of the East, Himalayan crocus, Indian crocus. 362 different garden hybrids are registered officially by the RHS.

I've been wanting to shoot this gas station for quite sometime. It rarely has patrons in the night which makes it that more appealing to have a few minutes to frame it the way I want to. I've messed around a little lightroom till I found this finished product. Driving by these gas pumps I had envisioned what the final shot would look like. I toyed around with a monochrome version but in the end I left the classic color of their branding.

Former mid-1960s Phillips 66 pier style, batwing service station. Now Los Gomez Restaurant.
“In 1960, Phillips 66 introduced what arguably became its most popular and iconic service station design, which featured a large, upward-slanting, triangular-shaped canopy. Clarence Reinhardt, an architect who worked at Phillips and designed most of the company’s buildings, developed this distinctive design, inspired by designs he observed in Southern California.”

Marble told Phillip "to hold on tight". Phillip thought she said "have a happy flight". Bears tend to have a lot of fluff in their ears.
Woolomai surf beach, Phillip Island. I had to lighten this up a fair bit as the original was way too dark. Think I had the ISO too low. I haven't worked out the 5D yet as far as long exposures go. Tricky.
I finally made time to explore the Phillips Creek waterfall at Salt Point State Park. While Sonoma County has been bestowed with rainfall, the waters of Phillips Creek are relatively calm. I need to visit the falls after a large storm. I have a feeling I'll be visiting this spot many times in the future.
