Hello All,

These are Foxglove blooms just after a heavy rainfall. (I got caught in the rain squall and had to stand under a tree for awhile)... Aside from a crop, this is SOOC.

Thanks a million for viewing and for your comments. I do LOVE hearing from you! I hope your day is a creative and happy one!

I'm talking about the bears and their coats from all the rain. Although, rainy days do tend to saturate colors of photography subjects, too.

So I guess the title works with both the bears and the color in the photo. I did not add saturation to the colors. Also, this isn't cropped. And this sow actually had 3 second year cubs. The 2 others were outside the frame on the right. I wasn't in a position where I could get all 3 in the photo

Of course, a lot of places on the West Coast out here are feeling pretty saturated about now, too. Wild weather everywhere lately.

(Do you think it will catch on?!)

Thank you to Phillip Chitwood for playing along!

Enjoy your weekend...!

When I was an analog shooter I loved Fuji's negative and positive films. The colours perfectly captured the rich tones of British Columbia's terrain.

Their little X-E1 camera has been just as accurate in digital capture.

Because if I'm going to get fully saturated (and I did) walking in our weather, I insist my images are too. :-)

After the sun dips below the horizon, but before the night sky takes hold, the colors of the sky really pop. It's funny to think of a North American Atlantic coast lighthouse as a sunset location rather than sunrise, but the orientation of Bass Harbor Head Light means that it shows its best colors at the end of the day...like this.

As the heavens prepare for an imminent downpour, nature paints a breathtaking scene in the mountains of Tuscany.

Italy experiences a period of intense rainfall as dark clouds dominate the sky. The relentless downpour transforms the landscape, turning streets into temporary rivers and fields into saturated patches of earth. People navigate through the rain, seeking shelter and utilizing umbrellas and raincoats to stay dry. The heavy rainfall showcases the power and unpredictability of nature, reminding us of our vulnerability in the face of natural forces.

On this huge fallen oak, the rain was accentauting all the grain and knots, and there were so many species of fungi and lichens too.

After heavy rain and wet snow the night before, chasing this Iowa Northern southbound near Janesville, IA became a bit of a challenge on the secondary roads in the area. Good thing they weren't racing along, but myself and the Honda would be caked in mud requiring a "Whole lotta of shakin' going on."

Sometimes the tears we bear are so heavy they weigh us down, even though we try to seem bright and cheery. I know a few people who struggle with their tears. It is good to cry but there are times they don't know how to stop. Be kind to others. You never know what they are dealing with. But be careful to surround yourself with people who lift your spirits too!

♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥

Someone asked me recently if my St-Paul Island Album on FLickr reflects what you can see when you visit the Island... the answer is Yes and No. At the time of the year we were there ie end of July, some of the species are already starting to quit the Island. It was for example almost impossible to see a Red Legged Kittiwake after the first day we arrived. So we ended up seeing less than 20 species of birds, the fur seals and the Pribilof Subspecies of the Arctic Fox. However, over 300 species of birds have been recorded in the Pribilofs. Spring and Fall apparently are very good for rare birds visiting from Asia... I only remember seeing a couple of vagrants while visiting the Island. I have several photos from St-Paul which have never been processed but all the species encountered are at least represented once in the album. When you return from a trip, you get motivated to process a bunch but then you get saturated or busy with other trips and activities and several good pictures remain dormant.... until things get quiet again like this weekend. I may post a few more from St-Paul Island over the coming days. St-Paul Island can be a challenging destination to reach but it is among the prettiest location of Alaska I have seen and it can be extremely rewarding for the wildlife photographer.... and no... Nobody has paid me to say that :)

yes... the colours are saturated in Algonquin Park.

What a perfect day to paddle... wishing we were out there too!

We have such a dreary, drizzly day today and I thought this would help to brighten the day! Hope everyone is having a super Saturday! Going to watch football this afternoon. Hoping, for my son, that the Titans win. Of course tomorrow the STEELERS will rule!! :) Have a fantabulous day!
