As we sat on the deck of our cottage we wondered about these Eucalyptus trees standing tall on the horizon ... the next day we discovered they surrounded Pierce Point Ranch..
OK, thought I would have some fun. The dark image is actually a photo of a statue in Las Vegas of a Cirque Soliel character. This is a combination of five photos.
My thanks to Ghostbones for his textures!

I record events photographically for a group I belong to.... and this includes the Gourmet dinners we all enjoy.
The hostess picks the menu, and supplies the recipes, sets the table...and the tone of the whole event...
Liz did a wonderful job...we enjoyed every minute...and EVEN the beautiful snow, as we left ( no one had far to drive...no problem!)
I have had this ornament for a while, but it has special meaning for me this year. Sophie loved Christmas and Christmas trees… I remember her walking under the tree (until there were presents under it), and I remember how she loved to sleep under it. She will now always be a part of my Christmas tree.

Year Fifteen Of My 365 Project
Thomas Ranch, southwest Florida, in August. The grass gets very dry when every day is almost a hundred degrees.
Christmas Day 2009 was the first white Christmas in North Central Texas since 1926. I decided to make a few Christmas Card like photos while the snow lasted.

Buachaille Etive Mòr (Scottish Gaelic: Buachaille Eite Mòr, meaning "the great herdsman of Etive"), generally known to climbers simply as The Buachaille or The Beuckle[2], is a mountain at the head of Glen Etive in the Highlands of Scotland. Its almost perfect pyramidal form, as seen from the A82 road when travelling towards Glen Coe, makes it one of the most recognisable mountains in Scotland, and one of the most depicted on postcards and calendars.
VIEW LARGE
Buachaille Etive Mòr takes the form of a ridge nearly five miles (8 km) in length, almost entirely encircled by the River Etive and its tributaries. The ridge contains four principal tops: from north-east to south-west these are Stob Dearg (1022 m), Stob na Doire (1011 m), Stob Coire Altruim (941 m) and Stob na Bròige (956 m). Stob Dearg and Stob na Bròige are both Munros; the latter was promoted to Munro status by the Scottish Mountaineering Club in 1997.
The steep, craggy north-eastern face of Stob Dearg forms the classic aspect of the mountain as seen from the Kings House Hotel, and constitutes the most direct route of ascent for climbers and scramblers. Crowberry Ridge, a classic rock climb graded severe, was first climbed direct – and photographed – in 1900 by the Abraham brothers with Messrs Puttrell and Baker. Immediately to the left is Curved Ridge, one of the most famous scrambling routes.
Alternatively there is a somewhat eroded path leading steeply up the Coire na Tulaich which, in summer conditions, allows walkers to ascend the peaks, reaching the ridge about half a kilometre west of Stob Dearg.
Buachaille Etive Mòr is separated from its sister mountain of Buachaille Etive Beag to the west by the valley of Lairig Gartain. To the east lies Glen Etive, which provides an alternative route of ascent, heading up steep grassy slopes to the summit of Stob na Bròige. Another route follows the Allt Coire Altruim from the Lairig Gartain, reaching the ridge about two thirds of the way along from the north. This route is often used as descent route in conjunction with an ascent via Coire na Tulaich, forming a circular route with a walk out along the Lairig Gartain.
On 24 January 2009, three mountain climbers were killed and one was seriously injured, in an avalanche disaster.
Just got back recently from a trip down to the NC coast and some of the flowers along the way were to pretty to pass up!

I heard this strange, prehistoric hiccupping sound behind me, and when I turned around I found this 4 foot giant prehistoric looking bird whose call matched its features! s! (Its call sounded much like some of the dinosaur movies seen lately!) My first impression was to instinctively associate this grand bird with the now extinct Dodo (the population of Shoebills is thought to number only in the 8,000-10,000 range). Ladies and gentlemen, I am happy to introduce you to this wonderful, ancient looking bird, the Shoebill Stork... (My apologies for the inaccurate color of its plumage, which is actually grey - see below. The area was fairly shady, and I could not quite remember its color. Thank you for those who helped me identify this grand bird and for helping me identify its true color. But unfortunately the bird is out of the bag already..)
Pasear por los hayedos del Pirineo es una expeiencia casi mágica que te transporta a mundos soñados,
donde te cubre un manto tejido con los colores más cálidos, y flotas
sobre alfombras doradas, tostadas,
mecida por el leve crujido de las hojas rotas.

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
