Offshore Magheroarty, County Donegal, Ireland
This little island of Inishbofin, meaning (Island of the white cow) lays just off-shore Magheroarty Beach. Only 100 years ago there were 150 permanent inhabitants living here but today there is only an estimated 36 islanders. Inishbofin has no shops, pubs or hotels etc so all supplies needed to survive are brought over from the mainland by boat.
But what this island lacks in modernism, it certainly makes up for in nature by having 2 stunning sandy cove beaches side by side. Plus lets not forget that 360 degree view that can be obtained from anywhere on this island which overlooks Donegal’s majestic shore & islands. These 2 smaller nearby islands are ‘Inishdooey’ & ‘Carrickirragh’. Sadly both are totally uninhabited today. On the distant horizon can be seen the larger populated 'Tory Island'.
Do you ever just wish to escape this ever-advancing, overpopulating world we are forced to adapt within & simply walk alone across an island like this with no mobile phones or traffic in sight? I have said it before & I will say it again... "I would happily move to any of these islands today if I could" Someday I will do it
Hope you enjoy! Please Favourite & Follow to view my newest upcoming works, Thank you
One the west side of Trail Ridge Rd. we stopped for a bit and as the back of Denise's hat say's this is Colorado's Rocky Mt. National Pk.
The first sighting of one of the young Kingfishers occurred on the day prior to them fledging. This first glimpse was just the end of a beak but we were excited. Maybe if we had a view into the nest we would have seen them earlier.

Conrad "Duke" Hauser of the G.I. Joe team sights in his conventional service rifle in anticipation for an upcoming patrol. As impressive as the energy-based weapons used by his fellow operators are, Duke finds a certain degree of confidence in knowing that his issued weapons are less inclined to fail in the midst of an electricity-related accident.
It is not the Moon, it is the Venus.
I took this photo from the balcony last night at 10:38 p.m. and only 10 minutes later Venus had already disappeared behind the horizon.
In addition to the 300mm I used a 1.7x teleconverter in front of the lens here.
Distance to the larger wind turbine in foreground 10km and only 45 million to Venus ;-)

I almost never get to see a sunset here at home because the color usually doesn't get high enough in the sky to show up beyond the trees in the wetland. Such a sunset is a 2 or 3 times a year occurrence.

The Conservatory - Bellagio’s Opus
Each season, a team transform the Botanical Gardens into a showcase of inspiring sights, sounds, scents and colors. Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter are all featured—along with a special display for Lunar New Year. When the seasons change so do the displays. (Bellagio website)
