Shocked and saddened by the sad news of the earthquake centered in Chengdu, our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of our Chinese daughter, from Chengdu. Nine years ago, we dodged disaster when the top 50 feet of a rotten Doug Fir gave way and fell on our family during a hike, Liu Yang, (aka "Janet") then 16, suffered only a small gash in her head. Here she is comforted by my wife, Kathleen, as they sit amidst the tree debris in the Salmon River, awaiting the arrival of rescue workers. Fate is arbitrary and capricous. That tree could have crushed us all, or it could have stayed put up in the forest canopy. Only Janet, Jack and Sadie the dog were along the river bank when the tree fell--other dawdlers had stopped on the trail for a rest break. Jack and Sadie jumped away and the big limbs and branches fell all around Janet, missing her mostly, and leaving only a small wound that required just a few stitches. Conclusions? Hard to come by. Except that for any of us, at any time, death can come in an instant. But if it isn't time for your number to come up, you're good to go, through almost anything.
Collection of various glasses and cups from various gifts.
Some are old family heirlooms, inherited, and others are more recent.
While it continues to rain on the Iberian Peninsula as if it had never rained before, I am busy taking photos at home.

When shadows rise and night comes it is good to remember that new light and a fresh start come in the morning!

One of my very first Fuji Color slides taken with my then new Asahi Pentax Spotmatic with the f/1.8 lens in the summer of 1966.
Scanned recently with the Plustek 8200i revealing a bad case of the Black Measles on the slide that I have almost completely eradicated with some dedicated spotting.
When I see trains like this, entwined in the beauty of the landscape.................
.................I wish I was the engineer.

Last year, at the beginning of May we have taken a drive to Beaverhills Natural Area. The road was calling us for the sun was shining, the skies were amazing and the world awakened from winter slumber. Such a pleasure to visit again, even if it is only in pictures ;D
Thank you all for following my photo stream! I wish all of you a happy and healthy new year full of exciting moments and wonderful imagery.
A serious nod here to Zetti Art. The quote is from Ralph Elliston.

Schooner: "WHEN and IF" - Key West Harbor
Key West, Florida - The Florida Keys - 12/5/20
*[newcomer to the harbor-fleet this year! She's beautiful!]
*[left-double-click for a closer-look - classic lines - afterglow]
*[I'm doing a Key West Harbor Boat Series 2020.....so bear
with me for a little bit. There were lots of really awesome boats,
ships and beautiful sailing vessels this year! Thanks for looking]
The America 2.0, the Adirondack III, the Western Union, the Appledore and many other tall ships are credited with helping
to keep Key West's maritime traditions alive for years to come.
The 'WHEN and IF' is a beautiful addition to the Key West Fleet!

A house rests in the shade,
A skier ascends through the snowy forest —
Time for the sun to go skiing.

After posting a recent image where it`s brown grass and dust I looked back to find an image where the grass was still green and as it should be. Just a little different now .

...When you are old enough to read these words
Their meaning will unfold
These words are all that's left
And though we've never met, my only sun
I hope you know
That I would have been there to watch you grow
But my call was heard and I did go
Now your mission lies ahead of you
As it did my so long ago
To help the helpless ones who all look up to you
And to defend them to the end
Ride like the wind
Fight proud, my son
You're the defender
God has sent
Father,father,father
I look up to you and heed thy call
This letter ends my search
I'll live your dream now passed on to me
And I now wait to shake the hand of fate
Like the dusk awaiting dawn
So wizards cast your spell
With no heart to do me well
So it is written, it shall be
Defender...
Another shot from a recent visit to the paisley anchor mill at the hamills
Taken just before the heavens opened up
The Anchor Mill stands as a proud reminder of Paisley's great industrial heritage. Located at the Hammills on the White Cart River, this landmark Grade A listed Domestic Finishing Mill was built in 1886 and is one of the few remaining buildings of the Anchor Mill complex.
At the centre of the building is the elegant, 4 storied, sun-lit Atrium.
When the clouds roll in and the sun is behind me, its always the perfect time to photograph this location. Hope everyone had a wonderful long holiday weekend.
Have a great week ahead :-)
When you're on the top / take time to look down. // The view is definitively different / than at the next moment.
When you hike the trail that traverses Tomales Point, especially during the early morning hours, you will find yourself in the midst of a true wilderness experience. Hike it alone, and I guarantee the experience, especially when you let your mind dwell on the mountain lion warning-signs at the beginning of the trail. But never mind that. A morning hike here is one of the most refreshing and invigorating experiences I know.
Buffdawgus says check it out.
