Really wanted to capture the trails in the reflections but high winds came in and out causing the water to move too much.

To the left is Acker-Minze (Banana mint - we didn't try)
St John's Wort is in the middle and clearly likes being there as well spread out.
To the right is Ladies Mantel.
We enjoyed a nose round the flower trail, as well as flowers and information, there were plenty of seats. Beforehand we also chatted to a lovely couple (at a safe distance) that we bumped into on the way up to Allmendhubel. It always surprises me that so many people are prepared to chat to us in English...perhaps we do rather murder their language. They asked us lots about Scotland....in particular whether Scotland looked like the mountains at Allmendhubel.
Where deer, humans, dogs, coyotes and cattle walk.....
For Texture Tuesday and Studio 26 Taste of Flickr.
Had a go at star trail photography over the weekend and came up with this one, one canon 580ex hand held over camera to fill the shadows
and triggered by pixel kings
Trying out EM1's LiveComp feature. Works so well for star trails, end up with 1 raw file with trails already merged.

Hiking along the trail on the edge of the Pacific Ocean revealed a few of these stunning beauties mixed in with the underbrush.
Bell Trail is very popular with hikers and anglers who come to enjoy the solitude and other rewards offered by a clear cool stream flowing through a scenic desert canyon. Wet Beaver Canyon is one of four major canyons that cut Coconino National Forest's red rock rim country.
Most of the canyon falls within the Wet Beaver Wilderness. Wilderness areas are rare, wild places set aside by U.S. Congress where the land is allowed to retain its natural state, serving as a natural haven for humans to escape civilization. To help minimize human impacts in Wilderness areas, motorized and mechanized equipment are strictly prohibited by law, including bicycles, strollers, carts, remote control aircraft, and drones.
For the most part, the trail follows a route along a bench well above the streambed. A number of side trails, lead down to the waterside and indicate the location of good swimming holes or popular fishing spots. As the trail wanders deeper into the canyon, it leaves the canyon bottom to wind high along an escarpment of red sandstone and offer scenic views of the riparian area, the canyon and the surrounding mountains and valleys, before dropping back down to the stream at Bell Crossing.
Most people who come to this trail hike only the first 3.3 miles to Bell Crossing, taking advantage any one of several access paths that branch off the main trail and lead down to the stream. After crossing the Wet Beaver Creek, the Bell Trail climbs the canyon's south wall to a high, grassy plateau where it winds through pinyon juniper stands and open grasslands offering views that stretch all the way to the Sedona Red Rocks Country and the San Francisco Peaks. Eleven miles from the trailhead at Beaver Creek, Bell Trail ends at Forest Road 214.
Like many of our fragile riparian areas along creeks and rivers, the area is day-use only. Camping and campfires are prohibited along much of Wet Beaver Creek to help minimize damage to the soil and vegetation, reduce disturbances to wildlife, and prevent pollution of the clean, clear water of the creek. Wet Beaver Creek flows into the Verde River, a critical water source for many cities and communities in Arizona.
This trip was in early spring when the trees were just beginning to leaf out and snowmelt from a heavy winter was clouding the creek. Photo taken March 2017 by Deborah Lee Soltesz.

The Brighton & Hove 13X Tourist Trail service running between Brighton and Eastbourne is a very scenic route to travel on. In August 2015 Volvo B9TL / Wright Gemini BJ11XHH passes Birling Gap on its way to Brighton.
The bus is named 'Maria Fitzherbert' who was the unofficial wife of George IV.
Travel Utah’s Beautiful Backcountry Along the Burr Trail
Located just outside the northeast region of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Bullfrog, the Burr Trail offers excitement for the adventurous explorer. Views of features like the Henry Mountains, Waterpocket Fold, the red Circle Cliffs, Long Canyon, and Pedestal Alley await the traveler who wishes to explore this interesting road. To fully enjoy the journey always be well prepared. Make sure you have plenty of water, a first aid kit, proper footwear, sunscreen, a hat and a means of communication.
History of the Trail
John Atlantic Burr was born in 1846, during his family’s journey from New York to San Francisco on the SS Brooklyn while sailing across the Atlantic Ocean. Once they arrived, Charles and Sarah Burr then set out to Salt Lake City with their new baby. As part of the early pioneers from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the Burr family eventually moved south in 1876 and founded the town of Burrville, Utah.
John Burr grew up to be a cattle rancher in the rugged backcountry of Utah. Living in such a desolate area, he needed to develop a route to move his cattle between winter and summer ranges, as well as to market. This cattle trail through the rough, nearly impassible country around the Waterpocket Fold, Burr Canyon, and Muley Twist Canyon came to be known as the Burr Trail.

I found the good trails today at the bottom of the gorge. I also found out my front tire has a slow leak though, so riding back up wasn't as much fun as going down.
The United States Congress designated the Table Rock Wilderness in 1984 and it now has a total of 5,781 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Oregon and is managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
A remnant of a lava flow that once covered this region along the western foothills of the Cascades, the "fortress" of Table Rock stands at 4,881 feet above the northeastern portion of this small Wilderness. On this steep and rugged terrain you'll find a quiet forest of Douglas fir and western hemlock, with noble fir at higher elevations and crowds of rhododendron on many of the upper slopes, an island of old growth in an ocean of forest development. At least two endangered plants bloom here: Oregon sullivantia and Gorman's aster. Deer and elk wander about in winter, and the northern spotted owl has been spotted among the old trees.
From four trailheads, about 17 miles of trails give access to the Wilderness. A relatively easy hike from Table Rock Road will take you up the Table Rock Trail to the sweeping vista from the summit of Table Rock, where the land falls suddenly away in basalt cliffs on the north face. From this high point, Mount Rainier looms far to the north, Bull of the Woods Wilderness beckons from the east, and the Willamette Valley spreads out to the south.
You will not find any reliable sources of potable water on the trails, so pack along your own. Horses may find dangerous footing on some of the talus slopes.
Additional information about the Table Rock Wilderness, and all the other BLM Wilderness areas in Oregon/Washington, is available online at:
Trail Ridge Road is a roughly semi-circular highway covering the 48 miles between Estes Park, CO on the park's east side, up and across some of the northern ridges, and down to Grand Lake on the west. Eleven miles of this high highway travel above the tree line, the elevation near 11,500 feet where the park's evergreen forests come to a halt.

Thought i'd join the Facebook Fan Page Wagon so like the page if you wish :)
Best viewed on BLACK. Really brings the colours out on black!
So went to Lullingstone Golf course to get some sunset shots and couldn't find anything interesting to shoot, 5 minutes down the road was the usual light trail shot so I thought I'd settle for this, it's something different for me, I've never combined a long exposure with a sunset, nor have I seen a sunset with these strong colours before. I know im clipping black quite a bit in the tree's but I thought it keep the eye concentrated more on the sky and lead you into the bend.
This is perhaps my most abstract shot yet?
Anyhow turned out to be a worthwhile trip!

Exploring the trail was like stepping into a postcard – peaceful cows grazing in open pastures, framed by a breathtaking view of a small mountain peak in the distance. The golden light of the afternoon added warmth to every shot, bringing out the earthy tones of the landscape.
The 70 tree people lining the mile woodland trail, encounter willow bees and dragonflies, the Queen’s horse, ceramic birds and giant woodlice … and much more. The trail will celebrate biodiversity and explore concerns about habitat loss and the climate emergency. We are also celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and the 70 years of the Queens guardianship of the people and lands of the UK as part of our project theme ‘Harmony and Healing for Planet and People’ .
