Probably my favorite amphibian. Yesterday, I discovered after I worked an image, that I already did that image! It must be the social distancing getting to me. This little jewel is a Red Eft, and look for them after a rain. They are abundant in the Poconos.
The sun lit up the grange and the Rudolphstein Castle. It was still cold, but in the next few days spring weather is forecast.
Maybe the weather will be better tomorrow. The sun has announced today that it will be more springier tomorrow

Sometimes, what normally we consider an obstacle, turns out to be a great opportunity. When this photo was taken, the mist caused by water vapour was so intense that it was possible to photograph the sun at the sunset highlighting the sunspots, without using any filter. The photo is the result of a single shot.
Whatsoever I've feared has come to light
And whatsoever I've fought off became my life
Just when every day seemed to greet me with a smile
Sunspots have faded
Now I'm doing time
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days
Whomsoever I've cured
I've sickened now
And whomsoever I've cradled
I've put you down
I'm a searchlight soul they say
But I can't see it in the night
I'm only faking when I get it right
When I get it right
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days
How would I know
That this could be my fate?
How would I know
That this could be my fate?
So what you wanted to see good has made you blind
And what you wanted to be yours has made it mine
So don't you lock up something
That you wanted to see fly
Hands are for shaking
No not tying
I sure don't mind a change
Sure don't mind a change
Yeah, sure don't mind, sure don't mind a change
I sure don't mind a change
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days
How would I know
That this could be my fate?

fyi . . . the "spot" on the sun is indeed a "sunspot", when I originally uploaded this shot I had deleted the spot . . . until I realized what I had done . . . LOL!!

I liked the light choosing to fall on this one small part of a large truss of flowers...I imagined our sun as the solar flares flower into space.
At a location I didnt think I'd get the sun, the clouds parted for the natural spotlight to shine for just a moment.
With a bit of help from smoke haze from fires out west, for the first time I was able to photograph sunspots. Sunspot area AR2674 is near the center, about three earth diameters across.
I just finished working on a series taken on May 16th, 2023. Visible sunspots captured from my Orland Park backyard in Cook County, Illinois, USA. *Lines over the surface are passing clouds. Solar activity has continued to peak with solar flares and sunspots making for some amazing views with the right equipment.
Sunspot AR3302 is a faint spot, while AR3305 is a more visible cluster of sunspots, which can be seen in the larger images in this collage. These shots are not photoshopped and were taken handheld.

After several people have photographed the sun showing the large sunspot it has these days, I took out the sun filter, that I made for the sun eclipse last year, and photographed it as well. It is huge and beautiful.
This wide angle lens adapter does have a learning curve. It's better if subject matter is at a distance but in this instance I love the movement created by the curvature in the landscape and the clouds overhead with the sun breaking thru. The blurriness on the sides is problematic but cropping it doesn't make me happy. I still like it, except for the fact the intense blur on the right keeps pulling my eye over there. I cannot wait to get a real wide angle lens.
So was waiting to get a time lapse of the sunset the other day so while I was waiting to set that off I tried to take a pic of the sun, used a canon 7d with 70-200 2.8 mk2 with a 2x teleconverter and 3 nd filters, I didn't look at the sun directly this was done using a smallHD screen.
I'm not 100% but I think that is a sun spot on the bottom right, i dont think its dirt on the lens I bumped the camera and the spot stayed on the sun and didnt move around with the camera.
