Warbunton was the first shrine on the list. So fun! Cute little stone Hammie statues.

Had a fun time cruzing around the Olympics with Aaron and Lisa last Thrusday. We didn't come arcoss the most ideal situations for epic clouds, but it still was fun. Just getting out and shooting with some good peps makes it all worth while.
Thanks for stopping by

The sea holds her like a secret.
Cold light, quiet breath,
the rhythm between thought and tide.
She isn’t chasing the next wave,
just floating in the space
where stillness learns to move.

If the clouds cooperate you can sometimes get a second sunrise, or more accurately, a second sunburst in a different location. Here there was an open band of sky in the east, below the cloud cover. The first sunrise sunburst was taken as the sun started rising above the horizon. Once the sun was fully uncovered, I moved to (scrambled to find) a second location and caught a second sunburst as the sun started to slide behind the clouds.
A note about today's inspiration:
"Underpinned by our desire for every day pleasures, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence. Sophisticated and lush, yet at the same time an unpretentious classic, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse extends our perceptions of the browns from being humble and grounded to embrace aspirational and luxe."

Yesterday I got busted by hubby! Seems that if I add up every Paypal transaction since October 1 ...the number is staggering!!! Today I started my dolly diet by avoiding a dolly meet where I knew I would spend a bag full of $$$. I stayed home and tidied up my dolly room and put together a second glass display cabinet. I have one more beautiful girl adopted from Maasje that will be joining the family as soon as she is paid for and two girls on a commission list. That is it for 2011!!!
Anyone else in a similar predicament?!?! Hurry up 2012!!!

Before exploring Lüderitz and Kolmanskop, we drove all the way south to the second largest canyon in the world: Fishriver Canyon. I didn't even know about this canyon before this trip, and since we still had a few days left after our initial rough planning, we both agreed to go there. We looked at the possible accommodations and found a government-run campground on the south side and a lodge on the north rim. As we hadn't read the best things about government-run campsites and were planning to camp most of the time anyway, we opted for the lodge and didn't regret it.
The drive there changed from paved roads to gravel roads, which had some sandy sections the further we got. At one point, we had to drive up a small hill and back down a steeper section that led to a narrow gravel road that crossed a dried up river a few times. We drove on and on, wondering if we were still on the right 'road', but a glance at the offline GPS map showed that we were heading in the right direction. After driving through some really impressive wide open landscapes, we crossed an “airfield” (which was basically a flat gravel field) before finally reaching the parking lot of Fishriver Lodge after a little over 3 hours of driving. As we entered the main building, we noticed the really beautiful glass façade which gave a breathtaking view of the canyon as the lodge is situated right on the canyon rim. We were then asked onto the terrace where we were given a welcome drink, enjoyed the view and thought about using the pool, but we both felt it wasn't quite warm enough (as it was winter there, the temperatures were moderate).
We then checked in, got the keys to our cabin right next to the rim and carried all our stuff from the car to our room (which was quite funny as we had all our stuff in cardboard boxes covered with plastic bags to protect it a bit from the sand that got into the back of our car during the drive, unlike all the other guests who arrived in fancy clothes and with normal suitcases). We then made ourselves a coffee and enjoyed it on our terrace while taking in the stunning views. I then wandered around the area a bit looking for possible sunset compositions, but as the sun got lower, I realized that its angle was far from optimal as the sidelight left most of the canyon in shadow and only illuminated a small upper portion.
At a certain point, I noticed that the colors on the side facing away from the canyon began to explode. I quickly ran to our cabin and told my girlfriend to get her camera. In the rush, we even forgot our tripods, ran around like headless chickens (as Mads Peter Iversen would put it) looking for compositions and found this lone quiver tree. The colors became more and more intense, and I can tell you: I have never seen colors like these before. Apart from one cloud that I cloned out as it was right behind the tree, I didn't edit this image at all (which is quite rare as raw files are usually very flat and require some contrast adjustments). The show went on for quite a long time as there were no mountains in the distance that could block the sunlight, but eventually we went to dinner and enjoyed one of the best meals we had on this trip. After dinner, we went back to our room and realized that the curtains were different than when we left. We thought that someone might have broken into our room, but when we went to bed we realized that the staff had brought warm water bottles as it can get chilly at night (which they hadn't told us). With that, we ended our day and couldn't be happier as we stood right on the edge of the second largest canyon in the world and witnessed one of the most colorful sunsets we had ever seen. I hope you like it!

Earlier this week our second brood fledged. Our Blackbirds dont hang about.
They must have been on eggs again within days of the last set fledging
Southern Pacific AC4400CW No. 358 leads a Grand Junction to Roper manifest freight through Riverton, Utah the morning of April 28, 1996. The second unit is MP15AC No. 2757, built new for the Southern Pacific in Sept. 1975.
When I first saw this one, I thought he was a smallish Doe. After zooming in I saw his "huge rack." Most likely on his own for just a few months.

The black swans at the park are on their second batch of cygnets for 2020. As with the previous batch, there were more, but some have already been taken, possibly by eels or lizards.
