I was frustrated yesterday because the grounds keepers at work came and cut down all the vegitation around the pond at work....there was nothing left to photograph...no place for the dragon flies to light....or for anything to live....I thought....
Behind the dumpster there was a whole patch of these beautiful little things to photograph.....I have never seen these before....does anyone know what they are?

Though the tree is barren and alone, it appears to be still reaching up into the sky proud and strong, as if a metaphor for never giving up.
I took the picture at the park on an excursion with my wife to feed the birds popcorn, but there were no birds there this time of year. So instead I took some nature shots of trees and foliage.
It wasn't until I got home that I noticed the simplicity, beauty and inspiration in this shot.
Joshua Tree national park, 108F registered on the car thermometer. So hot I almost regretted renting the convertable.

This picture was merged from 2 single shots taken with the Distagon 1,4/35 at the Leica M in portrait orientation. The higher regions of the bavarian mountains were covered with clouds the most time of the day which led to some beautiful hoarfrost gracing the trees together with the fresh snow. I found this scene near to the summit of Scharfreiter at the border between Germany and Austria.
My Perfect World by Dave Warren
bright shining lights
smiling faces
laughter
music
peace and love
timeless space
deep midnight conversation
meaningless chat
my friends close by
to need and be needed
to help and be helped
to listen
my perfect world
exists in me
you're welcome to visit
to stay
pull up a chair
and together
we can see it through
"Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts."
___ Charles Dickens
"Now with song we fill the night,
While magic dances in the light.
To wish you now and all the year,
The joy that comes with Christmas cheer."

It was a busy day, ending with a Pfizer booster shot that took me out of commission… on the plus side "Christmas" came early with a new cell phone. Santa forgot to install a home button on the new iPhones so it's going to be a jumbled Christmas figuring it all out!

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all.
I truly feel blessed in my life, and I have so very much to be thankful for. I am especially very thankful that my parents have moved here and are now within walking distance. That makes holiday travel and togetherness so much easier.
Here’s hoping everyone had a great day!

In Autumn Mother Nature
turns out in full array.
Her multi-colored splendor,
a dazzling display.
Leaves like painted jewels,
pleasing to the eye.
Transformation is brewing
in the solemn Autumn sky.
