This is a quote by John Muir.
This shot was taken on the Alpe di Siusi plateau (Italy), right behind the Alpina Dolomites Lodge Hotel. At 56 square kilometres, the Alpe di Siusi/Seiser Alm is the largest mountain plateau in Europe. For me, this is certainly Europe’s most beautiful and largest high-altitude plateau.
The air on the plateau is so pure and pristine it was totally amazing.
This is a single shot taken with a Sony Alpha 6000 Camera and a Samyang 12 mm ultra-wide lens end of October 2016.
Thank you for taking the time to look. Hope you enjoy and potentially learn something! Big thanks to the amazing Flickr family out there!

Thought I would do a long exposure here as the clouds where moving rather quick.

Thursday we had a Nor'easter that dropped 15" of snow. We were in heaven:! This is looking out our front window. Nothing better than a lovely coat of snow for Christmas (let's hope it stays)!
Can you find our mailbox?

Not all hummingbirds migrate They also eat insects and some go into a hibernation state at night when it is very cold. In spite of their tiny size they are very aggressive and I see them chasing away any and all other birds that stray into their territory. We have both Rufous and Anna's hummingbirds. on our hill. Anna's hummingbirds are a bit more colourful with both ruby and iridescent green feathers.
I thought bringing back a good shot of fireworks might be in order for Canada day.
I don't have much time online right now, but hope you all have a great weekend.
“...The world was really one bee yard, and the same rules work fine in both places. Don't be afraid, as no life-loving bee wants to sting you. Still, don't be an idiot; wear long sleeves and pants. Don't swat. Don't even think about swatting. If you feel angry, whistle. Anger agitates while whistling melts a bee's temper. Act like you know what you're doing, even if you don't. Above all, send the bees love. Every little thing wants to be loved.”
