Have a safe and wonderous day dear flickr friends.
Thank you to everyone for your visits to my photo-stream....very much appreciated.
A lovely springtime view of the pretty town of Goslar, Germany, with beautiful half timbered buildings and the historic market square makes a wonderful place to visit.
Photographing two sunrises in a row reminded me what I love so much about photography. It is being alone with nature, enjoying the peace, calm, tranquillity and start of a new day. Sometimes, places such as the iconic Buttermere pines are ideal locations where questions find their answers; and at other times it is equally as great to simply focus on the task at hand and just click.
On the way back I met a couple of other photographers, and being mostly a friendly bunch, we engaged in a lively chat from tripods to shooting locations and the war in the Ukraine. I hope it will end soon and people will listen to sense and reason.
One can only hope.

Just a quick grab shot from my Bluebell Workshop in Wiltshire early on Saturday morning. A morning made even better by a great bunch of people!
It is springtime in Holland! For more than 4 weeks now the weather is beautiful. Fields full with white and yellow flowers, full with bird life. But also full with predator birds looking for the offspring of the field birds. I have seen several dog fights and air battles: the black or white birds againt the field birds. Waterland, 2018.
Again, I would like to thank everyone for your support, views, faves and comments!
It was so peaceful and tranquil, and I was most content clicking and enjoying the nature around me. You can imagine my surprise and ever so slight indignation when I realised I had to share the lake with another person who has just started setting his boat. It turned ok(ish) at the end, the guy adding scale to this scene and giving me an idea to bring my own kayak next time.
Crocus (English plural: crocuses or croci) is a genus of flowering plants in the iris family comprising 90 species of perennials growing from corms. Many are cultivated for their flowers appearing in autumn, winter, or spring. The spice saffron is obtained from the stigmas of Crocus sativus, an autumn-blooming species. Crocuses are native to woodland, scrub, and meadows from sea level to alpine tundra in North Africa and the Middle East, central and southern Europe, in particular Krokos, Greece, on the islands of the Aegean, and across Central Asia to Xinjiang Province in western China.
Though Autumn has plenty of good points, I have to say I prefer the whole expectation thing that Spring has - the feeling that the natural world is about to wake, rather than fall asleep. On a more practical note, though some Autumn mornings are easily the equal of Spring in terms of photogenic qualities, I prefer the more dramatic, detailed look of the leafless Spring trees when in silhouette, as in this image.
Ohh that springtime feeling of budding trees magically adoring our view of what is so beautiful this time of year.

Have a safe and delightful spring day dear Flickr friends !
We've had some gorgeous weather this past week and I'm thrilled to say that all three cats have gotten to enjoy being outside as much as they like. Happy Caturday's theme this week is Spring and I realize there is not a single thing in the photo that suggests springtime except that I know that Mack is, for the moment, fine and enjoying the warmth and being outside and I am filled with hope.

A Spicebush Swallowtail on Scarlet Indian Paintbrush.
Seen at Lynx Prairie, a 52 acre Nature Preserve in Adams County, SW Ohio.
Late May 2020.
One sunset, 4 focal lengths. The extremes are, apparently most interesting as entirely different pictures: while wideangle is often a landscape 'default', the closer look explains why telephoto is just as essential for landscape photography.
From last summer, or late spring I should say, on a super long walk, enjoying handheld single shot IR experience. Interesting how the significance of an image changes, once the subject / location is gone or altered.
This is the entrance of a ~4km canyon, with a stream and track, kinda nice, but a severe storm flattened lots of forest there last summer, so this spot looks very different now!
Fun fact, I was actually in the canyon while it all happend. If there is a proper chance to get killed by falling trees or lightning, that was it. (I couldn't have know of course.) It is an eerie story actually, but I spare you the details.
I was half-way in the canyon until the weather got borderline crazy, so I turned around and the way back was like a survival obstacle course, climbing over and under fallen trees in intense rain with lightning while the wind was still ripping out whole batches of forest, breaking huge trees like toothpicks. I will never forget the sound that makes!
The parking lot was covered in trees already also, it would have been the end of my car if I had parked there, but I didn't for some reason. That shit was serious.. 💨 ⛈️ 🌲🌲 🌳 🌲
