Aurora Borealis over Finnish Lapland. Capturing the Aurora Borealis remains one of my favourite shoots although at minus 25 degrees Celsius a lot of layers are required!

Last night I saw the most beautiful shooting star in the sky I had ever seen. It was supposed to be the biggest Perseid meteor shower in years; I did not actually see the really gorgeous shower-show because I was in city and clouds soon came in, but I managed to see some single performers with one top-class extraordinary beauty.
No chance to take photos of it, my camera just gets blinded in front of such a spectacle, but I have another photo that in its spirit reminds this star show.
I hope we all can always enjoy fascination of stars, blooming flowers, and true beauty of human soul. Enjoy your Sunday and upcoming week, my dear Flickr friends!
No, no surfer out there shooting the curls. Just me shooting them with my camera. Pretty good waves out there that day.

Another fabulous day with the Famous Flickr Five+ group shooting in the Dandenongs.
We all spent quite a bit of time face down on the ground as I did for this capture, which you can see in David's lovely capture here: Lisa Getting Serious About The Shot.
Thanks again Dave and thanks to Beverley for the idea for the title of this one too!
Der Wüstenbussard durfte hier über die freie Fläche fliegen ein wunderschönes Tier wir waren sehr beeindruckt das der Falkner ihn mitgebracht hat.
But at her friend, not me who was working candidly :)

Have a good Sunday. Now we are supposed to be in Spring we had hail storms yesterday.
Sorry guys. Unusual posting on Saturday....almost for me. A "POST A RUN", I could only fave without commenting. Enjoy your w.e.!!!!
Somewhere along the Big Sur coast.
During my four-day loss of internet service, I decided I had enough images to start another collection, Shooting Sandstone.
From San Francisco to San Diego, I have shot sandstone, cliffs, rocks, formations, caves, whatever.
Going through the images and picking the best was something I have been thinking about for a while now. Thanks to AT&T, I finally had time.
Selective focus on daffodils or lilies from my photo archives. This shot seems useful on a dull day in February not long after Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and "predicted" six more weeks of winter. [DSC05525_lr_3000]
Thank you all for your clicks, comments and faves.
Ten years ago, Chicago had one of the coldest Februarys on record, causing large ice dunes to form along the frozen Lake Michigan shoreline. Temperatures had begun to warm a bit, as I recall, when this shot was taken in early March, 2015. But it was still wintry cold, and the dunes and frozen waters remained for a good while longer. I don't know who these folks were, but I hope that the woman didn't get frostbite, or worse, in that outfit.
A few other shots from that time are in the first comment box.
Peoples State Forest is a Connecticut state forest occupying 3,059 acres along the West Branch Farmington River opposite American Legion State Forest in the town of Barkhamsted. It is managed for forest products, wildlife habitat, and recreational uses that include hiking, hunting, fishing, and snowmobiling.
The forest was dedicated in October 1924 with a riverside pageant attended by Governor Templeton and another 3,000 persons. The Civilian Conservation Corps made recreational improvements in the 1930s through the laying out of roads and trails and construction of a nature museum with an interior made of chestnut from trees killed by blight.
Nature museum
The park features the Peoples State Forest Nature Museum, a stone-faced building built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1935 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The museum's focus on native flora and fauna includes animal mounts and skulls, minerals and insect specimens along with displays concerning area pioneers, Native Americans, logging, quarrying, and the Civilian Conservation Corps. The museum was open from 1935 to 1942. It reopened in 1992 under the name the Stone Museum. The name was changed back to the Peoples State Forest Nature Museum in 2007.
Trails
The forest has about ten miles (16 km) of trails in the blue-blazed Peoples State Forest Trails system.
Now blooming along the trails are wild orchids, also known as Lady Slippers. Pink lady's slipper is a large, showy wildflower belonging to the orchid family. It has two opposite basal leaves with conspicuous parallel veins and a large flower at the end of an erect stalk. The flower is magenta to whitish-pink; sometimes the whitish pink flowers will have darker pink venation. Rarely the flower may be all white. This plant grows 6 to 15 inches tall and flowers generally between May and July.
The species name acaule is Latin, meaning, "stem less", referring to the plant’s leafless flowering stem. Another common name for this plant is moccasin flower.
