This shot started out as a trip to Death Valley and quickly became a run up to Yosemite National Park. After loading up the gear and a quick last minute traffic check William McIntosh and I switched gears and bailed on the hopes of catching a sunrise in The Valley of Death for a record breaking snow storm currently enveloping Yosemite Valley. A trip to a snow swept mountain region in a Toyota Prius during such a snow storm is a somewhat courageous concept that had me quite concerned but Bill wasn't alarmed in the least, that wasn't surprising considering that as I sat there waiting for him to drive around the corner in front of my home during a deluge that had the gutters overflow several feet out into the street and I was thinking to myself "If he shows up there at the corner I would know he is certifiably NUTS". Several minutes later he was there in all his lunacy. :) My nickname for Bill "Tenacious B" is well founded.
After driving for 6 hours we arrived in the valley right when the first tire chain started unravelling, the snow was falling heavily and we needed to quickly "McGyver" it with nylon rope to continue on up to the Tunnel View parking lot to check the radar app and the snow levels in the lot. As we hobbled into the unplowed lot which had almost a foot of snow on the ground, we decided the best choice for the 3 hour wait till sunrise would be best served in the parking lot at the Yosemite Lodge or risk being stranded at the overlook. Upon our return later that day amongst the throng of photographers the light was bleak and showed itself for seconds at a time in which I grabbed this shot during such a brief window that when I recomposed for a second shot the light was gone not to return for the rest of the day. Speaking of "Fleeting" Half Dome was only visible 3 times during the day and for only minutes at a time, I felt lucky to catch the dome and this light in the same composition. Catching a passing storm in Yosemite Valley is a special sight and one I will not soon forget. :)

I mentioned in my last post that this trip to Cochin or Kochi, as it is also called, was a return trip. It is quite a magical place with water flowers along the shoreline and these Chinese fishing nets. They are lift nets that are secured on shore.
The Indian people call them Chinese nets because they are unusual to India except in Kochi. Mind you, I do not fish, but these elegant and wispy creations are so beautiful to see and photograph. This is just one scene of many that I will show you as they fascinated me as I am sure they have others.
Since my annual fishing trip was earlier this year - the Aspens did not have their fall color and since I still admire their vertical white trunks. - they became my choice for slider work.
Happy Slider Sunday!
It was a glorious day here today. Perfect day for a trip out to the Botanical Gardens. Today was "Paint Out" day. So there were several painters out painting & lots of folks out strolling around looking at the art work. It was just one of those days that you wish you could repeat over & over. Just wonderful!
(137/366) The view from the steps of my chicken shed last night, these swirly wispy clouds caught my eye. Happy Telegraph Tuesday everyone!
After a couple of sunny days, one last storm rolled in, preceded by the usual fun clouds. This was the day before when things were just getting started.
Taken at the Victoria Butterfly Garden.
Many thanks to all those who view, fav or comment my pictures. It is much appreciated.
I kind of liked the wispiness of this snowy egret's feathers. They go with the feathery foliage behind the bird
This past weekend had odd wispy clouds that made the light boring and weird to shoot in.
So I tried to make it look much darker than it was - not just lean into the gloom that was there, but essentially create it.
It was not a gloomy day.

Thank you my Flickr friends! We're approaching another weekend! This was taken while out on a photo walk with my dear friend and Flickr companion Linda.
Happy Birthday Flickr!!
Every seedling, every hint of knowing, every spark of inspiration begins as a wispy, little thing.

The sky was perfectly clear last weekend except, of course, for right in front of the NEOWISE comet. Fortunately the wispy clouds didn’t entirely block the view.
The other day a friend was commenting on the clouds that appear along the Sunshine Coast vs those in Alberta. Ostensibly, those that take shape over the ocean vs those that develop in the prairies. We both came to the conclusion that although the topic of clouds was the same, the resulting forms were often different yet unique to the landscape. (so to speak)
In this image there are two distinct clouds forming in the distance, both over the ocean and developing over a distant island. Pender Island to be exact. One, filling the sky at a higher level, while the other stretching for miles at a specific height catapillaring along the ocean.
After photographing Prairie clouds for the last 26 years, I have noted in my photos they are often quite wispy, or perhaps appearing like giant whipped potatoes in a thunder cloud, or just plain leaden, covering the sky. They too come in many forms, but for the most part, look distinctively different. And, isn't it fun to just watch them as they move inexorably across the sky creating their beauty for us to photograph.

Cirrus clouds.
The most common form of high-level clouds are thin and often wispy cirrus clouds. Typically found at heights greater than 20,000 feet (6,000 meters), cirrus clouds are composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.
Cirrus can form from almost any cloud that has undergone glaciation and can be observed in a variety of shapes and sizes. Possibilities range from the "finger-like" appearance of cirrus fall streaks to the uniform texture of more extensive cirrus clouds associated with an approaching warm front.
