“Sometimes the most scenic roads in life are the detours you didn't mean to take.” ~Angela N. Blount
The day I took this was the day that started out all wrong, but wound up being all kinds of right.
A little back story: On our first day we planned to drive from Las Vegas to Page, AZ and hit Horseshoe bend for sunset. The rental car took way longer than expected and we missed it by 20 min. Not a huge deal, but hard to miss it by so little. Then the next day, the storm rolled in. We were driving from Page to Moab, UT that day through Monument Valley, which we were really excited about. To our dismay though, it was completely socked in. We couldn't see anything. At all. So we disappointingly drove right through. After a couple nights in Moab the plan was to drive to Bryce Canyon...that night a winter storm warning was issued with 3 feet of snow predicted overnight (the park actually closed for a couple days). This meant, drive straight into the storm, or turn around and head back the way we came. We opted to turn around and head for Page again.
It was disappointing to think we would miss Bryce (wanting to see it was the catalyst that started this trip) but we were also excited that this meant an extra shot at seeing monument valley. Weather forecasts predicted more clearing in the afternoon so we killed some time by going back to Arches. We were shocked to see the clouds start to lift and the sun peek through. "This is our chance to see Delicate Arch in sunlight!" we proclaimed. The first time seeing it we found ourselves in a big snow storm. So we hurried over and practically ran the 1.5 mile hike up a rock to catch it (at this point we had found ourselves in so many unexpected snow storms that we honestly felt like it was following us...we had to hurry to beat the storm!). Sure enough we made it, and it was incredible!
Feeling pretty elated about our first true turn of luck, we headed to Monument Valley. While I can't say we had blue skies with a few white puffy clouds, I can say we could see stuff! This photo is of the road that leads into it. I suddenly yelled, "I know this place!" and told Nick to pull over...and like the good husband he is, he slammed the brakes on immediately so I could get the shot I wanted. One done frequently, yes, but I wanted my version, from our trip.
After stopping to see "the mittens" we moved on and headed toward Page. It was apparent that we just might make it in time to see sunset at Horseshoe Bend. Up and over mountain passes we went, through snow and rain, but as we got closer to Page we could see a wonderful patch of blue sky directly where we were headed. Time was running out though! Sunset was beginning! When we pulled into the gravel lot to park the sun was hanging low. Grabbing our gear we ran through the sand, hiking down to the breathtaking canyon. The sun had dipped behind the mountains within minutes of us getting there, but somehow I managed to snag a picture I quite liked. We stayed until it was almost dark, enjoying the desert land and watching moonrise. What had started as a forced change of plans turned into what we dubbed "Second Chance Monday."
Life can throw the most unexpected things into our paths. It can be extremely frustrating when we hold too tightly to our own idea of "perfect." Only when we let go of these notions are we free to experience life as it comes and the process itself...full of surprises, disappointments, and second chances.
I was driving around the neighborhood looking for a nice place to use my 10 stop ND filter for the very first time. I was lucky to find this nice pier with such a great view of the sunset!
I loved the result, and the quality is way higher than what I expected.
Tokina 11-16 + 10 Stop ND filter, perfect to start my second year as a photography enthusiast.
The second to last sunrise of the season up at Lost Lake. The rest of this day was spent wandering the lake, watching the canoes get packed up, seeing the goods at the general store marked down 50% which put them at almost normal prices and so forth. It imparted an interesting mood, with the hint of a fall chill in the air, to see the place closing up shop, knowing that soon it would be largely void of human activity, with just the gentle noises of water and wind and animal for the soft light to play to.

This is one of the first pictures I ever took with my D90. I've been going through old files on the hard drive and came back to the first weekend with my then new camera. This is second beach near La Push Washington.

Knock knock, it's going off, drop top
You're halfway there, crop top
You want ketchup with that? THOT dog
I'm ill - cough, cough
Eat up the beat, scoff, scoff
I will walk into your gal's house and connect to the hotspot
'Cause I'm B A D
B-A-D
They study me like PhD
I had to stop and say to myself
"Who is he?" He ain't me
I'm on top, that's VAT
Your mum loves me and your D-A-D
And there is just one thing
That I've never understood
Girls are learning to twerk, but don't know how to cook
Pot noodles on the weekend, everyday beans on toast
I'll run a MC then laugh in your face, just call me Usain Bolt
'Cause I'm a beast
Who are you disrespectin?
Put some respect on my name
Then get your neck in
Take shots, I'll photobomb
Don't make me have to phone your mum
I'm outside trying to find reception
You're there trying to find a Pokemon...

Lyrics:
Smile an everlasting smile
A smile can bring you near to me
Don't ever let me find you down
'Cause that would bring a tear to me
This world has lost its glory
Let's start a brand new story now, my love
Right now, there'll be no other time
And I can show you how, my love
Talk in everlasting words
And dedicate them all to me
And I will give you all my life
I'm here if you should call to me
You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say
It's only words and words are all I have
To take your heart away
You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say
It's only words and words are all I have
To take your heart away
It's only words and words are all I have
To take your heart away
It's only words and words are all I have
To take your heart away
After finding the first of this pair, I looked around & spotted the second hawk. Close to the first one but different tree. Both were close to the nest tree but on different sides of the road. Watching over their territory. It won't be long before they are actively working on the nest & mating.
Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus)

It's day 2 of vignweek, and the prompt is "Rescue." I'm of course continuing the Harry Potter theme with my take on the second task of the Triwizard Tournament!
This was not the only reason why we came back to Elbsandsteingebirge, but it definetly was one of them. Last time we have been here the national park was closed over night to prevent forest fires. This time it was not :)
Mea : "Now I have nothing to do with lord Hermaeus Mora. Why are you still inside me?"
Her ego : "Why not? You still have memories that are hard to forget so my existence is still in your heart."
Mea : "Now I don't need you anymore. I want to live peacefully as before."
Her Ego : "You will not live peacefully if you are still bound by painful memories that are hard to forget."
I first saw the picture of Mendenhall Ice Cave three years ago and was shock immediately. For some reason I didn't realize unlike mountains or sea stacks, ice cave melts and is not going to be there forever. End of last year with knowing that part of the cave starting to collapse, I planned a trip with two friends to the cave in Jun, which is usually the prime time to visit. Yet it was too late. In April I heard that the whole cave was collapsed, it was unfortunate but there was nothing we can do so we cancelled the trip. Then in Sep a friend Piriya told us he spotted some pictures online and it seems a new cave is forming, he was really nice and kind and provide a lot of information instead of hiding when we planned the trip earlier. We didn't expect the cave would melt that fast but gotta say we got some luck this time. I also got plenty of info from a stranger Allyeska at Flickr. We really appreciate their generosity of sharing the information and detail explanation. So we decided to go there one month later in case the cave will be gone by next year, although Oct is the damn wet season in Alaska. The text is already quite long so I am not going to describe how we hike the last difficult mile in a raining and windy day. Anyway, we got second chance and it end up well. And really happy to team up with you guys Wilson and Tianjia!
Thanks for stopping by!
