Quick stop at the Capel Curig end to catch the last of the mist/haze after a beautiful morning wandering along the shoreline further up.
Zoe sports a yoghurt goatee that grew quite quickly. Today she turns 2 years old! Happy Birthday Bearded Granddaughter.
How long does it take you to drive 30 miles? If you were with my wife and I you would probably not like it. We stop often when we see things like this. One subject usually leads to another. Do you see only the sunrise? If you look lower you will see an decrepit barn with an old vehicle forever parked by it. That sight means I need to drive up and take a closer look even though we are headed elsewhere.
Another cloudy day! Good to photograph my first Bald Eagle of the season, doing a perfect lift off from his perfect tree.
Quick grab shot in Derby Market Place … I used the Leica photostyle that was included in the last firmware update for the #LumixS5M2, other than the crop this is SOOC. Apologies for the awful pun
Canyonlands National Park, Utah
The afternoon started bright and sunny with a chance of showers. I was exploring the overlook of Holman Spring Canyon when that chance rather quickly materialized, much to my delight. Showing up sometimes pays off.
It appears as though someone stopped out on the road and then slogged through the snow to check on an old car in the deteriorating shed. Life habits of our parents often pursue us all our lives. My parents farmed on three locations and sometimes after a long day of work on one of them, my dad would irritate me when we were headed home toward supper and he would say, "let's just stop and take a quick check on the tractor in the other field we left for tomorrow." There weren't as many malevolent country folks back then to worry about but he had a protective sense of ownership and responsibility that he passed on to his children by his example.
The Leaning Tower and the Basilica were breathtaking but on our walk back to the station for our return to Florence we took a couple of unwise detours and found ourselves very quickly in, well, ahem, shall we say, less salubrious surroundings.
It was quite sad really, especially given the unique cultural importance of the site and the numbers of visitors that the town pulls in.
This was the view across the river from the south side.
Thanks for the visit and I hope that you enjoy the work.

The Wood Hyacinths sneaked up on me this year...Was able to get a couple of shots before the storms moved in again...In my back yard...
An extremely rare crossing and crew change at Oamaru for the Sunday evening trains. A good excuse to go for a look see.
Both trains had four axle shunters in the trains being relocated for (and from) servicing at Dunedin. The driver waits in front of 962 while the other climbs down from 939. After a quick catch up they will swap trains and head home.
25 June 2023, Train 939, 5166-5114-5327-7226 and a DSG shunter from Timaru (out of frame) crosses Train 962 (two DFs and a DSC shunter being relocated), Oamaru, SIMT-NZ
After getting off work a quick detour was made to Millers Falls to catch Northbound New England Central train 611. The train led by SD40M-2 #3475, SD40-2T #3317(dead), and SD40M-2 #3476 with a train of 0/42 as they cross the Millers Rivers. Photo taken Oct 20, 2017.
It's wonderful to feel the warmth of the sun after a long winter and these little crocus flowers seem to echo that sentiment as they reach out of the shadows to embrace the light. They have to be quick - tonight it snows again.
Some days it pays to get up early!
This image has been sitting in a folder for almost a year -- the time to process it was today.
The Sea, The Sky, The Earth, The Wind, 2005. Four paintings by Dutch artist Jan Cremer, Museum De Fundatie, Zwolle, Holland.
Quickly another selfie or something interesting on the other side of the small bridge.
Everywhere, really everywhere you see bicycles here. It is the most popular means of transportation to get through the many alleys. Btw....the world leader in bike ownership is the Netherlands, there are more bikes than people...
Bear Creek meanders through the local countryside offering quickly running water here for the sights and sounds of a "babbling brook".
This Osprey was passing through and did not stay in the area long. He was actively fishing! Made a few passes by me and was then on his way.
so lucky to find this open stall in a market to buy this (GUESS WHAT IT IS) for a quick repair of my back pack
