'This is the Zen approach: nothing is there to be done. There is nothing to do. One has just to be. Have a rest and be ordinary and be natural.'
'The quieter you become, the more you can hear.'
“The magic fades too fast
the scent of summer never lasts
the nights turn hollow and vast
but nothing remains…nothing lasts.”

This Peregrine Falcon used to live near by.
She flies sometimes close by just like she was saying hello :)
Short-eared Owl..shouting see you next year..lol !
Thank you very much for your kind comments, favorites and looking and please stay safe !
Hello everyone, I've been out of circulation a while. Thank you to those noticing and asking! :)
I lost my job right around Christmas. This was basically the culmination of a decade-long process that destroyed my profession (medical transcription) in the U.S. In the end I had to look as far away as Australia to find a decent work situation! Luckily I do my work over the Internet so I didn't have to move.
The adaptation has not been easy, but the pay rate is already better than in my last job and they seem to value my experience - imagine that!
So for a while photography/Flickr was a luxury I just couldn't indulge in. I hope to get back into it going forwards and reacquaint myself with all your wonderful new work!
This is an older picture from China Beach I thought you might enjoy in the meantime.
This is the first time I've photographed the Milky Way from this location looking south. Usually I am at the lighthouse facing west. I'd like to shoot this in the spring when you can see the arch across the sky but not sure I have enough energy to be there early in the morning around 3 or 4 am lol.
Today my manager takes me away from Barnes. I will be moved somewhere for couple of days until I get a new placement. We sit in the station's garden for a coffee and from nowhere a little Robin appears...He is not taking bread crumbs but stands next to me and looking for some minutes..Someone passed away yesterday and we did not manage to say Good Bye each to other..Is it him who sent me a Little Robin? I strongly believe there is connection...
If you like anything on my photos, I'm very pleased... just share your kindness, I'm grateful in advance for your views, likes and comments... a lot of thanks :)
Well when we reached Mt Baker we couldn’t see 20 feet in front of us it was so foggy. The weather kept saying it would clear but we began to doubt it after an hour of waiting. Buy lo and behold after we reached the end of the hike, the fog began to clear and Mt Shuksan became visible. Have a great day..Kris….
After so many bright colors that I have shown here in the last few days, I can allow myself to add a somewhat gloomy picture (from February this year) without the whole mood changing. It doesn't tip over for me anyway because, on the one hand, it's my favorite place on the small Winterberg in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, which I'm fascinated by in all weathers, and on the other hand, I'm just about to pack my suitcase. Because tomorrow I'm going on a photo tour east for two weeks.
As the title suggests, this photo was taken in a 30 minute break between two rain showers. They made sure that there wasn't much (or nothing) of the sunrise that I actually came up here to see. At the same time, however, an extraordinary atmosphere was created that makes this picture one of my favorites from here.
And since I've photographed this tree about fifteen times now, that's saying something.
Nach so viel leuchtenden Farben, die ich in den letzten Tagen hier gezeigt habe, kann ich es mir erlauben ein etwas düsteres Bild (aus dem Februar diesen Jahres) einzufügen, ohne dass gleich die ganze Stimmung kippt. Für mich kippt sie sowieso nicht denn zum einen ist das mein Lieblingsort auf dem kleinen Winterberg im Elbsandsteingebirge, von dem ich bei jedem Wetter fasziniert bin) und zum anderen bin ich gerade dabei meinen Koffer zu packen. Denn morgen gehts für mich für zwei Wochen gen Osten auf Fototour.
Dieses Foto entstand, wie der Titel schon vermuten lässt, in einer 30 minütigen Pause zwischen zwei Regenschauern. Die haben zwar dafür gesorgt, dass von dem Sonnenaufgang, wegen dem ich eigentlich hier hoch gekommen bin, nicht viel (bis garnichts) zu sehen war. Gleichzeitig wurde jedoch eine außergewöhnliche Atmosphäre geschaffen, die dieses Bild zu einem meiner Favoriten von hier macht.
Und da ich diesen Baum nun schon an die fünfzehn mal fotografiert habe, will das schon was heißen.

Why is it sad?
Makes us remember the good times we've had
Much more to say
Foolish to try
It's time for saying goodbye

The last snowdrops make room for thousands of scilla. And the meadows in our garden are changing from white to blue. :-)

Die letzten Schneeglöckchen machen Platz für tausende Scilla., Und die Wiesen in unserem Garten wandeln sich von weiß in blau. :-)
This pretty deer had to pause and give me the look over while there in Yellowstone. A pretty setting there in the forest.
After spending 8 hours in our backyard trees this Barred Owl swooped down landing in the top of our neighbors patio umbrella. After a while he calmly flew off and we hope to have him return.
Saying hello to this gorgeous Highland cow at Catterline, Aberdeenshire (safely from the other side of a fence!).
My Monday flower greeting today is also a summer greeting. After we dreamed ourselves into spring last time.
Beautiful cornflowers swim in a sea of golden grain (another golden sea, must be my color right now).
And so, with this dream of warm wind and the singing of the birds around you, I wish you a week full of wonderful dreams.
Because dreams are not but shadows (as the saying goes, which I can't stand at all). Dreams are the wings that let us soar. That take us to places that would otherwise be unreachable.
Dreams provide refuge, strength, energy and motivation. And they expand our horizons and thus the goals we set for ourselves. So my friends, then dream something nice (just please not in traffic or if you have to operate a dangerous machine. OK?).
Mein heutiger montäglicher Blumengruß ist zeitgleich auch ein Sommergruß. Nachdem wir uns beim letzten Mal in den Frühling geträumt haben.
Wunderschöne Kornblumen schwimmen in einem Meer aus goldenem Korn (schon wieder ein goldenes Meer, muss gerade irgendwie meine Farbe sein).
Und so wünsche ich Euch mit diesem Traum von warmem Wind und dem Gesang der Vögel um Euch herum eine Woche voller wundervoller Träume.
Denn Träume sind keine Schäume (wie ein Sprichwort sagt, was ich überhaupt nicht leiden kann). Träume sind die Flügel, die uns empor steigen lassen. Die uns an Orte bringen, die sonst unerreichbar wären.
Träume spenden Zuflucht, Kraft, Energie und Motivation. Und sie erweitern unseren Horizont und damit die Ziele, denen wir uns selbst stellen. Also meine Freunde, dann träumt was Schönes (Nur bitte nicht im Strassenverkehr oder wenn Ihr gerade eine gefährliche Maschine bedienen müsst. ok ?).

Criss Cross Cascade - trying saying that out loud ten times!
A close up view of the lower Ototoka Falls …. I took a few shots here to get the look of the water movement how I like it - not too milky or frozen but retaining detail whilst conveying the flow and motion.
