Reflection Canyon was probably the most brutal hike I've done. It was 10 miles each way, which doesn't sound that bad, but it was off-trail, lots of sand, lots of up and down, and there was no guarantee of water, so Matthew Saville and I each carried 7L. Our backpacks weighed 58 lbs each at the start of the trip. Despite doing multiple training hikes, we barely made it.

During the night, I tried to roll over and my hips were so sore that I literally yelled out in pain.

Good times. I may do it again this spring.

Quiet lakes and wetlands come alive with the breezy whistle of the American Wigeon, a dabbling duck with pizzazz. Breeding males have a green eye patch and a conspicuous white crown, earning them the name "bald plate." Females are brushed in warm browns with a gray-brown head and a smudge around the eye. Noisy groups congregate during fall and winter, plucking plants with their short goose-like bill from wetlands and fields or nibbling plants from the water's surface. Despite being common, their populations are declining. The best time to see American Wigeons in the Lower 48 is from August through April. The oldest American Wigeon reported was at least 21 years and 4 months old. (allaboutbirds.org)

Saw this dazzling duck at Irvine Park, in southern California.

Thanks so much for your views, faves and comments. They are truly appreciated...

This was such a cool location and I was so lucky that I got to take this shot while the weather was so calm that the reflections on the lake were so clear.

Literally, a minute after I took this shot a slight breeze started blowing and made it impossible to get any more reflections in the watter.

Disfrutar del fin de semana a todos.

Scottsdale's Reflection Rising is designed by Patrick Shearn. Shearn's worldwide installations compel viewers to slow down and follow the undulating movement of the artwork, which appears to hand in thin air.

Stretching for three football fields along the Scottsdale Waterfront, “Reflection Rising” is the latest large-scale project commissioned by Scottsdale Public Art. Made of thousands of nylon streamers designed to take the air like a kite.

From the surrounding walkways, views of the rippling sculpture will emerge in the reflective surface of the canal, evoking the colors of the sunset. At the Soleri Bridge Plaza, the piece will rise and fall in graceful waves, casting dappled shade and sunlight on those gathered below. The custom-designed work was installed Nov. 13 and will soar above the waterfront, illuminating much of the Arizona Canal through March 2018.

Last November, when the last of the autumn colours were still showing. Fyvie Castle loch and a Lensbaby, of course ;o)

I caught the slight signature circular swirl in the middle, and the distinctive zoom-like bokeh fading to a gentle blur towards the edges of the frame.

I've just completed moving my 6 article series to my new website - and now the sections are all linked, and also (hopefully) easy to load and read on the small screen of a mobile phone, or the larger screen of iPad and tablet - as well as the PC and laptop monitor!

Happy Bokeh Wednesday ;o)

This description is for the "the one I really like. a singular experience" group. I've chosen to post this photo to the group because I think it's one of the best photos I've ever taken. It was a spur of the moment thing. I had taken my son and daughter to a park on Bellingham Bay in the late afternoon and they were both near the water looking for interesting rocks. I caught my son during that with the water behind him. I was thrilled with the photo and posted it to Flickr shortly afterward. My wife only saw it for the first time just a couple weeks ago, and she stopped what she was doing, approached the computer with a look of shock on her face. She stared at it for a moment and said, "You took that? You really took that? He's beautiful. It's perfect! It's just so... him!" Probably the best compliment I've gotten on a photo ever.

Aesthetically, what I really love about this image is the vague yin and yang with my son's silhouette and the dark part below balancing the bright part. Probably the best use of negative space in any of my photos.

Early morning on the street. Shot with a B&W IR 5D2.

Beautiful reflection in Browns Lake Washington. I took this photo on a Sunday evening while I sat on the bank in the sunshine watching the birds, fishermen, and simply waiting for the night to come. It was so peaceful and pleasant.
