When people talk about fall color in the western US, they're referring to the changing Aspen leaves.
Here, in Aspendell, a suburb of Bishop, California, I found a stand of Aspen that was peaking, as you can see the full range of color in this one section of trees. A couple hundred feet of elevation higher and the leaves were nearly gone, a couple of hundred feet lower and there was no color shift. So, for this location, at least, it was perfect timing.
Looking forward to seeing some iconic locations again soon. Some are always busy, but it's still a pleasure to be there.
Derwent Water is always busy, as I found back in 2019 for this image - finding a perfect view can be tricky sometimes...
This is a handheld shot with incredible still water - A small snow squall had just passed and the weather changed in an instant. 15 minutes earlier this scene had choppy water. As my goal on this shoot was sunset, I had time to double back and re-shoot spots.
GPS is for Stansbury Island and not the exact spot of the photo.
I don't know how many I took of this guy folks, and mostly half body and feet, and that's at 30-f.p.s. timing all wrong and camera work needs some touching up, sad but unfortunate.
Thanks to all for everything.
No real story here, it just made me laugh. I do try to take my photography seriously, I do. I just could not resist. If I told you he was at Machu Picchu you would all say ts ok. He was on San Juan Island if that makes it any more valid to post. Enjoy.

Timing? Or just good luck?
I was actually trying to get a shot of one of the Native Bees that was on the Dandelion, the bee left a microsecond before I clicked. When I looked at the image I saw I had the Skipper in flight and with tongue out as it approached the Dandelion. I'll take it - I have never captured a Skipper in flight before.

It got really windy here. Like, hold onto your hat windy! I laid down on the dock to get this male Bufflehead Duck bobbing up and down. One tough duck to shoot anyhow. You need perfect light to get all those beautiful colors on the head. Shark River NJ.
Set up my camera for macro shot of the flowers and this moth/butterfly landed and made a great macro photo bomb.
The Martini bell tower was destroyed by the Germans in WWII, just one day before the liberation. The tower fell into the church.
Due to the lack of financial resources the church and tower were restored in 1965.
This shot was taken at National Remembrance Day, what a metaphor.
Am heutigen 9. November konnte ich erstmals die 186 423 "Clockwork" der RTB Cargo fotografieren.
Nichtsahnend wollte ich am Mittag die Stelle wechseln und fuhr gemütlich in Richtung Loreley. Als ich am Roßsteintunnel um die Ecke bog und am Loreley Betriebsbahnhof vorbeifuhr, erblickte ich im Gegenlicht die Clockwork 186 423 die gerade von einem umgeleiteten IC überholt wurde. Mit quitschenden Reifen wurde schnell gedreht und zurück zum südlichen Portal des Roßsteintunnel gerast. Warnblinker an und schnell die Mauer hochgesprintet, wenige Sekunden später schon rauschte es im Tunnel und das Objekt der Begierde landete im Kasten! Was ein Timing!
Although I don't know his destination, I can tell you this young man is passing by "Atmospheric Wave Wall," a mural by Olafur Eliasson located on Jackson Boulevard in Chicago's Loop. Happy Friday! Enjoy your weekend ... but try not to make a speckle of yourself :)

Getting the timing right for a shot like this is all down to luck.
These guys as they were two years ago were trying to out muscle their winter cousins the redwings, in the battle for the choicest berry.

As always I extend my sincere appreciation to all those who take the time to stop by and comment on my photos.

It all depends upon the timing. I should know, I am a drummer. There were so many times I would be stopped at the beginning of a song and told it's too fast or it is too slow.
Then upon some study I found out that almost, or the majority of songs were in the same speed. Very little differences.
Happy Whatever day it is.
Timing is everything and in this case I waited quite a while for this Brown Creeper to open his mouth, then I photographed him doing so.
The sun rises inside the arch of Bow Fiddle Rock in Portknockie. Some pre planning and luck with the weather helped when photographing this sunrise.

Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!
Timing is everything, and everything came together this evening as three trains converged at Dock 6 while the distinctive laker John D. Leitch loaded ore. Great light and color with the shadows holding off long enough to get all three trains unobstructed. Credit Air Missabe One and skillful piloting by Gus.

I take this kind of photo of the blooming magnolias in a local park every year, you could probably call this a tradition. The timing of my visit was perfect as the white magnolias are at their best already. The pink ones would need another week but we are supposed to get some really frosty nights next week and that usually finishes the magnolia blossoms off.
I didn't know this guy was going to do this, I was just shooting this boat, the High 5, as it pulled up to the fueling dock.
Sometimes I just get the timing right. Pillar Point Harbor, just north of Half Moon Bay, California.
After watching an eastbound pass by in Durand where the sun started to come out after a couple of isolated storms skirted the area to the north, I saw that L514 was ready to leave Flint after the eastbound got past them in Flint. I went east hoping the cloud line would keep moving east and let that sky work for the afternoon westbound. After a lot of waiting, and anxiously watching the train slowly get closer, the cloud line and blue skies were slowly coming, but it was going to be close. With about 45 seconds to spare, the clouds cleared out, the sky opened up, and the sun cast a warm glow on the land and blackened the sky.
