Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to remember to catch the light by looking up more often. In doing so, I caught some morning light behind two rather large oak leaves which pleased my eye. I hope you don't get sick of viewing fall leaves, because I have a "thing" for them!
Thank you so much for stopping by and for your comments. I do love hearing from you! Have a marvelous day!

Matilija Poppy has been called the "Queen of California Flowers". Unique and distinct, it is one of the most recognized and beloved of California’s native plants. The large white blooms are the size of a saucer. The petals look like wrinkled crepe paper, the center is a bright yellow disk. Some have likened the flower to the appearance of a fried egg. A solitary bloom is a very fine thing, but a large stand of Matilija in full bloom is a sight to behold! Hundreds of huge white flowers borne at eye-level on long straight stems, contrasted by attractive blue-green foliage… a real show stopper in late spring/early summer!
Thanks to everyone for stopping by to view, fave, and comment!!

Now that we are in standard time, I needed to get up an hour earlier than last week to catch the sunrrise. On this chily morning (low 50F), there was not a single cloud or a shroud of fog to make the morning photo interesting. Had to resort back to this dead tree which was photographed back in March. You can see the sun rose over the same position, but the skies are quite different.

This daily manifest for Brownsville, TX is great to shoot during the winter months on its way out of Houston, typically running in good light and quite often featuring decent power.
So Conachcriag on the right is our target for today, while centre picture we can see the snowy summit of Lochnagar. The Glen between all three is where we're heading initially before making a right to start the climb up the slopes of Conachcraig.
Conachcraig is a Corbett standing at 865 meters (2837 feet). A Corbett is a Scottish mountain between 2500 and 3000 feet high, with at least 500 feet of descent on all sides.
A great day on the beach playing with driftwood , and trying to work how to take selfies on the new camera. Eventually I found the Interval settings so it became possible, as the ten second timer wasn't long enough. Cracking up is by The Jesus and Mary Chain. I had a quick nap while waiting for the tide to set me free, as I set sail for a brighter future

With Covid shutting down the borders and the new GE's on site, this would be my last trip chasing the big MLW's on the WNYP. I'm glad I did it with my good friend Rob.
