There really is nothing like the serene beauty of the Olympic peninsula. Nearly any time of year this place can be phenomenal, and nearly any time of the year it can be absolutely miserable as well. The rainforest on the coast is merciless and relentless, getting just a single day with some sun peaking through is a special thing. To see a clearing storm on top of these peaks like this was a rare treat that Richard and I earned by snow shoeing a couple miles to this crest. Just a stunning morning, with soft light, fresh snow, and clearing storm for one of the most spectacular days of last year.

A new image from what was a stunning morning down within the Killarney National Park last Saturday morning. The conditions were exactly what I always hope for when visiting this stunning location. No wind, lovely reflections, nice clouds and some mist!
Always nice to come away with a new image from this stunning location.
Thank you very much for your time and for your faves!
(Just giving a fave is perfect if you like the photo, thank you!)

These are Smurf Marshmallows.
My 6yo son loves them... and I confess that I like them too! ;-)
Have a nice evening, dear friends!!! ;-)
Soft, even, overcast light and a Dunlin standing pretty along the shore. The chaos of the 100s of other shorebirds surrounding this one fades away when this beauty isolated itself to my right. It eyed me up for a moment, deciding whether it was safe to continue feeding in my direction. It was and she did.
Our magnolia (we call it magnolia but I know it is not like the ones down south) tree is blooming profusely ,,,,the tree was given to us 19 years ago by friends after our little granddaughter passed. The first year it had only 5 blooms on it,,, the exact age Morgan was when she passed,,,,since then it has gradually matured and now it is full of beautiful blooms!! I chose to do a soft focus as it seems appropriate .
Thanks so much for you visits

Pretty as a picture in my garden last spring, a magic moment when our unique Australian flannel flowers open.
The genus Actinotus contains 20 species, 19 of which are endemic to this country. This Actinotus helianthi has a natural range extending from central and south-eastern Queensland down to the south coast of New South Wales.
Varying in height from 50 cm up to 1.5 m. Depending on the environment, the nature of the plant varies between a large herbaceous plant and a small shrub.
The entire plant has a soft, woolly feel due to the presence of white hairs. Flowers are surrounded by green-tipped, white bracts; beautifully soft to the touch.
Each flower from 5 to 8 cm in diameter.

Dunes, Soft Light. © Copyright 2022 G Dan Mitchell.
Details of sand dunes in soft evening light, Death Valley Naitonal Park.
Sand dunes are always fascinating subjects, both for their appearance as part of the larger landscape and because they contain almost infinite varieties of smaller subjects, textures, colors, and variations in light. I made a wild guess recently that I’ve probably been to Death Valley perhaps twenty-five times. You’d think that I might start to tire of the dunes or run out of things to photograph there… but there’s not sign of this happening.
We went to these dunes late in the day and had them entirely to ourselves. The light was challenging, as clouds were building to the west. As the clouds moved the light increased and decreased, but overall it remained quite soft the entire time. But this just provides another variation on how we can photograph this subject, and the soft light lets me reveal some subtle details that can be lost in brighter conditions. I made some post-processing choices here that highlight the variations in light and the soft forms of the dunes.
