Another view of this scene , slightly different angle from previous ones.. This is Langdale in the Lake District.
This time I took the -3 exposure and lifted the shadows (normally I would merge 0 and -3 exposures in HDR program because LX7 has limited dynamic range). Very pleased with the detail in the foreground, which is almost black in the original. But even though it is -3 EV, some highlights are still blown.
This early morning view is in the Flinders Ranges National Park of South Australia looking over the Bunyeroo Valley towards a small section of the majestic Heysen Range which dominates the background.
The hiking trail that climbs up the hill on the left is a minor part of the 1,200 km Heysen Trail which winds its way from Cape Jervis on the Fleurien Peninsula to Parachilna Gorge which is about 67 km off to the right of this scene.
Hans Heysen 1877 -1968 was a German-born Australian artist famous for his watercolours of the Australian bush and for his depictions of the arid landscapes in the Flinders Ranges.

The Sawatch Range or Saguache Range is a high and extensive mountain range in central Colorado which includes eight of the twenty highest peaks in the Rocky Mountains, including Mount Elbert, at 14,440 feet elevation, the highest peak in the Rockies. Wikipedia
This is an Anna's Hummingbird at Boyce Thompson Arboretum. It was shot at 1/125 of a second. I love the way you can see the range of her wing motion through the blurred wings.
The Mitchell Range lies west of Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park and the Mitchell River. Its eastern boundary is the Kootenay River. Its northern boundary is the Simpson and Vermillion Rivers.

One of several scenic ranges that make up the West Elk Mountains, the Ruby Range is the backdrop for some beautiful views of fall color. The aspen on the southern flanks of the range make up the most extensive stands in Colorado, only a portion of which are seen here from Beckwith Pass. The two prominent peaks are Ruby Peak and Mount Owen. The conifer forests here have escaped the outbreaks of spruce beetle that have killed numerous trees in surrounding mountain ranges.
While I was risking life and limb slipping and sliding down a dirt bank to get a shot at Oxbow Bend, the Mrs. pointed her camera out the car window and captured this shot at Grand Tetons National Park. ..... Life is Good ;-)
Grand Teton National Park is a United States National Park in northwestern Wyoming. At approximately 310,000 acres (480 sq. mi; 130,000 ha; 1,300 km2), the park includes the major peaks of the 40-mile-long (64 km) Teton Range as well as most of the northern sections of the valley known as Jackson Hole. It is only 10 miles (16 km) south of Yellowstone National Park, to which it is connected by the National Park Service-managed John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway. Along with surrounding National Forests, these three protected areas constitute the almost 18,000,000-acre (7,300,000 ha) Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, one of the largest intact mid-latitude temperate ecosystems in the world.
Human history of the Grand Teton region dates back at least 11,000 years, when the first nomadic hunter-gatherer Paleo-Indians began migrating into the region during warmer months pursuing food and supplies. In the early 19th century, the first White explorers encountered the eastern Shoshone natives. Between 1810 and 1840, the region attracted fur trading companies that vied for control of the lucrative beaver pelt trade. U.S. Government expeditions to the region commenced in the mid-19th century as an offshoot of exploration in Yellowstone, with the first permanent white settlers in Jackson Hole arriving in the 1880s.
Efforts to preserve the region as a national park commenced in the late 19th century, and in 1929 Grand Teton National Park was established, protecting the major peaks of the Teton Range. The valley of Jackson Hole remained in private ownership until the 1930s, when conservationists led by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. began purchasing land in Jackson Hole to be added to the existing national park. Against public opinion and with repeated Congressional efforts to repeal the measures, much of Jackson Hole was set aside for protection as Jackson Hole National Monument in 1943. The monument was abolished in 1950 and most of the monument land was added to Grand Teton National Park.
Grand Teton National Park is named for Grand Teton, the tallest mountain in the Teton Range. The naming of the mountains is attributed to early 19th-century French-speaking trappers—les trois tétons (the three teats) was later anglicized and shortened to Tetons. At 13,775 feet (4,199 m), Grand Teton abruptly rises more than 7,000 feet (2,100 m) above Jackson Hole, almost 850 feet (260 m) higher than Mount Owen, the second-highest summit in the range. The park has numerous lakes, including 15-mile-long (24 km) Jackson Lake as well as streams of varying length and the upper main stem of the Snake River. Though in a state of recession, a dozen small glaciers persist at the higher elevations near the highest peaks in the range. Some of the rocks in the park are the oldest found in any U.S. National Park and have been dated at nearly 2.7 billion years.

A view of the Ruahine Ranges from our picnic spot last weekend - a little section that I thought demonstrated the rugged beauty of these, even a tiny bit of snow still hanging on in there!

Parked at Castle Creek Rd. My GPS - 6.4 miles R/T & 2,300 feet of elevation gain. Well worth the trek up. This small lake is 52' deep!
Reddish Egret
The Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens) is a medium-sized heron. It is a resident breeder in Central America, The Bahamas, the Caribbean, the Gulf Coast of the United States, and Mexico. There is post-breeding dispersal to well north of the nesting range. In the past, this bird was a victim of the plume trade.
According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, there are only 1,500 to 2,000 nesting pairs of reddish egrets in the United States — and most of these are in Texas. They are classified as "Threatened" in Texas and receive special protection.
Egrets are herons which have white or buff plumage and develop fine plumes (usually milky white) during the breeding season. Egrets are not a biologically distinct group from the herons and have the same build.

This little shed or cabin sits by the lake at the bottom of the gardens in the heart of the Dandenong Ranges. It's remote from chaos - a place to walk lightly in the early morning, enjoy stillness and hear only the sounds of the birds.
A female Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep ( Ovis canadensis canadensis) looks up while I take her photo near the mouth of North Fork Canyon west of Cody, Wyoming. The sheep winter along the lower elevations of the Absaroka Mountains.
One of the roads I used to use to get away to no where. The road became narrower as I traveled to a favorite spot.
From our campsite in Karamea I spied the setting sun hitting the ranges, so it was a race inside to grab the long lens and see what I could get.
Morning light on the Bailey Range, Olympic National Park, Washington
Morning rises like wisps of fog from a river valley, called by gentle mountain light. Softly it flutters on the breath of a rainforest breeze, bearing the day to life.
So, picture this: day three of the W Trail, and I'm chilling in French Valley. Boom! There it is – the French Glacier, hanging out on the west side of this gnarly mountain called Cerro Paine Grande. This beast is, like, 10,006 feet tall (3,050 meters, for all you metric folks). Crazy high!
Fast forward to today, day four, and guess what? I'm on the east side of that same mountain, feeling way closer than I probably should be. Those peaks look totally climbable, but trust me, they're not. These things are gonna be stalking me for the rest of the hike, I swear.
Speaking of stalking, turns out Cerro Paine Grande is the highest peak in Torres del Paine National Park, and apparently one of the biggest climbing bummers in Patagonia. It's got this giant glacier on top that's basically permanently hiding under a cloud blanket, and the wind never seems to take a vacation on that ice and rock monster.
On the bright side, the west side's got some pretty sweet hanging glaciers, and French Valley offers a front-row seat to a whole lot of epic avalanches (don't worry, I watched from a safe distance!). This whole mountain range is actually four separate peaks – Cumbre Principal (the main one, obvi), Punta Bariloche, Cima Central, and Cima Norte. You can see them all from the west and east sides of the park, but let's be honest, the views from here (east) are way more dramatic.
And speaking of dramatic views, the best spots to check out Paine Grande are the Pehoe Lake area and the Grey Lake/Grey Glacier area where I am now. Trust me, it's worth the hike!

Delta blues is one of the earliest-known styles of blues. It originated in the Mississippi Delta and is regarded as a regional variant of country blues. Guitar and harmonica are its dominant instruments; slide guitar is a hallmark of the style. Vocal styles in Delta blues range from introspective and soulful to passionate and fiery.
The Arrowsmith Range in the South Island of New Zealand runs parallel to the main ranges of the Southern Alps. The highest point is Mount Arrowsmith (far left, 2,781 metres (9,124 ft)). The view to the range goes across Lake Heron and Mt Arrowsmith Station. In the Canterbury high country large farms are called stations to distinguish them from smaller, more intensive lowland farms. Historically, settlers had to find unoccupied open land and run sheep to establish the right to lease it. The high country farms in eastern the foothills of the Southern Alps still work on longterm, perpetually renewable leases.
