The painter Claude Monet lived in his home at Giverny for 43 years, from 1883 to 1926.
The artist’s studio, in which he worked until 1899. This room later became a cosy sitting room, where coffee was served, comfortably installed in English-style cane chairs and surrounded by familiar objects, photographs and the Master’s paintings.
A bust of Claude Monet by Paul Paulin reminds that the leader of impressionism became famous during his lifetime, although he had to wait until he was fifty before he was eventually recognized as a master.
On visiting a favourite rock outcrop, we noticed the tiny white flowers spread among the Borya plants.
In a little 'garden' nook between a few rocks, many Wurmbea flowers were gathered. I noticed a Rove beetle, most likely Paederus meyricki, moving between flowers and visiting an appeared to be drinking from the nectaries.
Visiting southeastern New Brunswick to see the Hopewell Rocks. We stayed at a farm in nearby Albert Mines at a higher elevation. Leaving the farm early one morning, I saw one of the most colorful skies of our trip, before descending into the clouds. The Hopewell Rocks were shrouded in thick fog all morning.
A very small frozen rivulet on the face of a bolder (it was not much more than a trickle actually). The sun was bright and warm enough for it to begin to melt ever so slightly. (One of the very few photos I took this past less than brilliant winter.)

"The whole world is, to me, very much 'alive' - all the little growing things, even the rocks. I can't look at a swell bit of grass and earth, for instance, without feeling the essential life - the things going on - within them." Ansel Adams, photographer and environmentalist, 1902 - 1984

On the way home on a night before crossing the Golden Gate bridge, I headed down to the Horseshoe Bay at Fort Baker. There is a pier where people like to party and fish at night, it has a nice view of the Golden Gate bridge from below, as well as San Francisco and the Bay Bridge.
I processed an balanced HDR photo from a RAW long exposure, and turned it into a monochrome photo to let the lights and shadows play.

[Having returned home and as we inch into late Fall and Winter with no plans for extended photo trips until next year, I resume uploading the rest of my selected photos from 2020 (10 per day, usually in the morning CET), as well as a selection of my current, 2021 photos (usually 3 or 4 per day, in the evening CET).]
The Gers is a small part of the region of Aquitaine, which covers most of southwestern France. On July 2020, we rented a house for three weeks in the Gers area, and commencing today, I will upload a selection of the photographs I took while we were there. I hope you will enjoy them!
As usual, I will caption more specifically in bold type below whenever necessary.
A July landscape in the Gers. Summer thunderstorms are not infrequent in that area!

I love nature and all it has to offer. Today I took a trip over to Taughannock Falls State Park and admired the lovely Falls. The water isn't flowing well since we haven't had much rain this summer, but the view is still spectacular!

Dawn in Lariimer County, Colorado. I snuck out of the house early one morning while visiting recently and enjoyed a drive on nearby country roads.
The old parish church of Dyce, Aberdeenshire, dedicated to St Fergus, is a pre-Reformation building dating from the 13th or 14th century. The original burial ground has many ancient graves and monuments as well as views over the River Don and the surrounding countryside. The ruined church also houses Pictish symbol stones, bringing us closer to our past.
