The thin clear line on the horizon made for a wonderful little spell of colourful sunset scenes as the sun briefly slid below the cloud.
Taken at the Brighton jetty in Adelaide, South Australia.

A Fox River Valley Railroad freight crosses the long bridge over thin ice atop Little Lake Butte des Morts at Menasha, Wisconsin, on a cold November 18, 1989. All three of FRVR’s EMD GP30s—Nos. 814, 815 and 820—along with GP35 No. 831, obviously all former Chicago & North Western locomotives, power the northbound train. Unfortunately, unless you want to walk or cycle across this bridge, this part of the C&NW line to Green Bay is abandoned onto the bridge and north, now called the “Friendship Trail.”
A Great Blue Heron, blending ungainliness and grace, breaks the ice on touchdown and at once imagines flight. We, wingless, wouldn’t conceive of this solution.
Tread lightly.
Grand Prismatic Spring at Yellowstone. I'm not a fan of tourist hotspots, but I would definitely hit this place.
Terrific Thursday to you my friend.
With thin, lisping cries, flocks of Cedar Waxwings descend on berry-laden trees and hedges, to flutter among the branches as they feast. These birds are sociable at all seasons, and it is rare to see just one waxwing. Occasionally a line of waxwings perched on a branch will pass a berry back and forth, from bill to bill, until one of them swallows it. This species has a more southerly range than the Bohemian Waxwing, and is a familiar visitor to most parts of this continent south of the Arctic.

Lately I've been preoccupied with life issues which have pulled me away from my creative side. Always amazes me just how quickly and fully reality rushes in to fill the vacuum left when creative pursuits are sidelined. It sometimes requires a very determined pushback to regain the balance of power. Tilting the playing field of my life away from the creative aspect to me is akin to sliding onto the thin ice part of the proverbial pond. Photography for me is not just a hobby but part of a lifestyle. It's one that sees me out exploring my world and separating myself, however briefly, from both convention and conventional thought. It's how I make sense of everything else. It's a very delicate balance. For now I'm just trying to avoid plunging into the black water that lies just below that veneer of ice.
I photographed this last Thursday at Hooper Pond in Warren County, Iowa. After several days of temperatures in the negative range, this large pond is likely to be completely frozen now.

Dreammmm,
Of the place where pain of the child is never seen
Could it be,
A place for the freedom & liberty
I know its true,
I know its right,
Just like a breath of Thin air....
I,
looked above at the stars burning bright like fireflies,
All the way, to the place we know as paradise,
I know its true,
I know its right,
just like a breath of Thin Air....
