This sunset panorama was merged from 2 single shots taken with the H5D 60 with the HC 4/120 II. Some slight enhancement of colours and dynamic range was done by use of Velvia Vision from Fred Miranda.
This cheeky little guy came up to the patio door last week checking the place out.. or perhaps begging for food. So I obliged by setting out a handful of peanuts every couple of days. Today I had the video camera ready for him as he dashes back and forth from the pile of nuts on the table and "hides" them in my pots and lawn. I am sure come planting time is spring I will find many a forgotten nut... lol

Every Spring I post some variant of the weeping cherries in Ault Park. The rites of Spring are probably as old us human civilization, and after this winter, I can imagine why. Living through last winter without Central heating and double glazing is hard to imagine, and many still do so even today. But the relief of warmth and color spreading through the landscape must have been immense. Whether it was Pagan fertility rites, the celebration of the Spring Soltice by the Druids, or the Christian Easter, humans have celebrated Spring for as long as records go back. I suspect we'll keep doing so in some form or another for a very long time :-)
View full screen. This is my view each morning. Ever changing.... Texture by Dyrk Wyst. Thank you.

Whilst the light was great there was a significant breeze which made the macros and close ups I'd planned rather more challenging especially when shooting dainty flowers on thin stems like this Columbine and working with a relatively shallow DoF.
Thankfully I managed more usuable shots than I'd hoped for and enjoyed the refreshing breeze, very welcome at the end of a hot day

It's Tulip time at Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney. A wonderful botanical area with views of the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and of course the harbour itself..

I stood on the beach for over an hour just waiting to get a shot like this. Taken near Ft. Bragg, California
Nature's conversations are beautiful...when we take the time to listen.

This was last winter (2008-09) looking across my front yard to the south during one of the long foggy days and frosty mornings. Yes, I basically have a forest in my front yard ... it smells heavenly. This is a stand of Fir, Pine, and Cedar.
Living here in BC basically means we live in a rain forest. It's good for the skin ... less wrinkles here ... =0} ... although this does not by any means mean we live in the rain 24/7 ... far from it. Here in the valley outside of Vancouver we have had hardly a day or two of rain since March this year. Very strange but hey ... seriously, they get more rain in Seattle. It just means the climate is Rain Forest Climate ... since BC is 99% trees. You can breathe here, as long as you have trees you have oxygen ... think about that next time you clear a property ... put some back to supply the oxygen you need to stay alive!
Mother nature ... she is just trying to keep us all going. Help her along. She knows when to prune and thin ... burn and replenish ... take notice, it isn't all about global warming, this has been going on for centuries.
Okay .. off my soapbox now.
It's not as dark the rest of the time, more like a park in my front yard. This was a chilly morning for sure but when I gazed out on this ... nothing else was going on in the world. I love fog and mist ... this was simply enchanting, ... there might even be a faerie or two hiding in there ... but of course they had their winter wings on, ... =0}

I thank the sun for warming my bones,
