More stormy weather down our way, beats me how the Porthcawl Lighthouse survives this constant battering.
Also, thought I'd mention that there is in fact three lighthouses in this picture, that's correct, three and I'm not going mad! If you follow the far horizon to its furthest right you can just make out the two Nash Point towers.

A trek through the brush and rough terrain at sunrise led to a surprise discovery of this "hidden world". I had a hunch there was a wonderful setting here, but didn't know exact;y where until I stumbled across this small lake in the middle of nowhere.

Audubon's Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary in southwest Florida is a very unique place, conserving several different biomes in one conserved area. This is the swamp, with the butressed trunks of relatively young Bald Cypress standing in the water.
Each year that my wife and I visit Corkscrew it seems that another of the 100-year old cypresses sadly is lost to the latest large hurricane.
This photographer was spotted during the early hours on that misty morning on Caddo Lake.
His presence added proper scale to the size of the Bald Cypress trees found there.
Hope everyone's Spring has sprung nicely & y'all are doing just fine......
Happy Sunday !
Thanks for dropping by and taking a look.
A nice fresh female Monarch butterfly feeding on swamp milkweed. I'm seeing Monarchs migrating south every time I walk in the park these days.
I thought this was "Swamp Milkweed", but my neighbor Katherine corrected me. It's actually called Purpletop Vervain or Verbena bonariensis! (It was in her garden!}
Here's an image from my last trip to Texas to shoot the Cypress Swamp. The sky was pretty ugly white in this image, so I tried the new Adobe sky replacement. It's like magic and it dramatically improved the image. I have so much to be thankful for and feel very luck. Lots to look forward to including seeing and spending time with friends and sharing our modern style of friendship with those I only know on social media. Happy Thanksgiving.
This sweet swamp scene was somewhere down a dirt road after McCutcheon’s Falls and before Kingston, no GPS on my camera so no way to be sure where its location is. Unlocated but like most of my life’s small but great visual offerings I come on them by happenstance though some would say things are put in our path to teach us. Whether by chance or not it is our choice that determines whether we stop to take in the scene and see the beauty in the everyday or we continue to see through the blinders of our own making that keep us focused on the unimportant.
I took this on Sept 27th, 2021 with my D850 and Tamron 24-70 f2.8 G2 Lens at 24mm, 0.8s, f5.6 ISO 64 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia ,and DXO Nik

Another handsome individual. If you are getting the feeling that I saw a lot of swamp sparrows on this particular outing, you are correct! I find them to be attractive and underrated birds, so I'll continue to post the shots I like. Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary in West Alton, Missouri
Swamp Lilies are abundant in late summer at Corkscrew Swamp, but this one was blooming in February. According to Sanctuary literature, "white-tailed deer will search this plant out for a tasty snack."
A marshy swamp in the mountains? I know, crazy right? This sits at around 3,800ft in elevation between Clay and Macon County in Western North Carolina. I had considered doing a big impressive sunset over the swamp here, but found this composition by the lakeside as the light was waning a bit. So I scuttled my plans to try and get some decent light shooting from the road and hunkered down on the soft wet ground shooting across the swamp into this mountain top in the distance. Found this log in the foreground, unfortunately I ignored my own advice and didn't bend this sapling back and it sits prominently in the bottom right. Otherwise I enjoy this shot, the colors, contrast, light reflections.

A K&F CPL to help brighten the blues in the sky, cut through the reflections a bit.. This is a focus stack of 42 images.
Caught between the plant stems, I like the background on this shot. Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary in West Alton, Missouri
The need to be creative weighed against obligations can sometimes feel overwhelming. But I love blogging. So I wanted to show how I sometimes feel but also be creative at the same time.
