One of the stops we made while at Brookfield Zoo was the Butterfly house. I had a great time shooting in there since I didn't have to chase them down to get a shot. In nature I would have NEVER gotten 6 Butterflies in one shot.
A piece from my adult daughter's long forgotten elementary school "jewelry" collection which works nicely for July 30: Trinkets and August 20: Multicolor.
Happy New Year to all!

Woodlawn, Michigan
W. Swainston's place on 10 acres alongside the Escanaba & Lake Superior Railroad in Woodlawn, Michigan
(1913 George Ogle Plat Book)
Filled channel within the cretaceous Iron Springs (kis) formation (ca 80-100 Ma) on the steep incline between Gunlock and Veyo. The channel bottom presumably represents an old erisonal surface, with the sandstone an mudstone bands above (assumed also to be part of of the kis formation) being disconformally overlayn.

one of the less photographed girls from last season's FR collection... beautiful lady with bad make up and even worse outfit lols!... tried to tweak it by toning down the rose shadow with a brownish gold color, contoured her crease more with charcoal for a smokey feel, opening up her eyes, and the lip, a gold hued coral...
From the Washington Trails Association:
A nice creekside hike within the Olympics with an option to check out Marymere Falls. This hike has all types of old growth and lush vegetation.
Most hikers follow Barnes Creek towards Lake Crescent Lodge, but at the junction you will turn left to follow the creek. Soon enough you will come to another junction where you have the option to check out the heavily visited Marymere Falls. This is a popular portion of the trail where most people will be heading. Take a right to stop and check it out if you are interested, otherwise continue onward for Barnes Creek.
Continuing onward, the trail has a much different feeling, as it quickly becomes less crowded.
The trail rolls mostly up and rarely down over the next 5.5 miles. Despite being unmaintained, it is in relatively good condition.
The trail fords four creeks and numerous seeps. While the first is unnamed, the following three creeks are Lizard Head Creek, Happy Lake Creek, and Barnes Creek. The mossy trail winds its way through old growth Douglas fir and western hemlock forests. Younger stands show evidence of the valley's fire history.
In spring, watch out for bunchberry blooms and starflowers peppering the mossy forest floor. In summer, pipsissewa bloom profusely next to wild huckleberries and blueberries. In the fall, creekside vine maples paint ochre hues into the verdant landscape.
For those wishing to camp, potential sites are just below the start of this trail at Dismal Draw, 3.5 miles up lower Barnes Creek and next to Happy Lake Creek, 2.9 miles past the Aurora Divide intersection.
After 5.2 miles and 3300 feet of climbing, the trail peters out in a dark stand of stunted western hemlock on the ridge top. Just before reaching this terminus, the trail forks, leading steeply up to the left. Take this trail another half mile up to the top of Lookout Dome.
The trail winds around the backside and up to the top of the dome, where the intrepid hiker can enjoy cliffside views of the Hughes Creek valley sprawling below. Baldy Ridge extends rocky and cliff-faced to the North, the Elwha River meanders far below, and behind, to the West, one can see the Barnes Creek watershed draining down toward a glimpse of Lake Crescent through the trees.
It's possible to day hike this trail from Storm King Ranger station to the top and back but, at around 20 miles round trip, this trail is much more doable as an overnight backpacking trip.

"If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks.
I've had them; everybody has had them.
But obstacles don't have to stop you.
If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up.
Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it."
I'm trying.... I swear I am....
“What lies behind us, and what lies before us are but tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Appearing within the boundless darkness of space in this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope snapshot, NGC 34 looks more like an otherworldly, bioluminescent creature from the deep oceans than a galaxy. Lying in the constellation Cetus (the Sea Monster), the galaxy’s outer region appears almost translucent, pinpricked with stars and strange wispy tendrils.
The main cause for this galaxy’s odd appearance lies in its past. If we were able to reverse time by a few million years, we would see two beautiful spiral galaxies on a direct collision course. When these galaxies collided into one another, their intricate patterns and spiral arms were permanently disturbed. This image shows the galaxy's bright center, a result of this merging event that has created a burst of new star formation and lit up the surrounding gas. As the galaxies continue to intertwine and become one, NGC 34’s shape will become more like that of a peculiar galaxy, devoid of any distinct shape.
In the vastness of space, collisions between galaxies are quite rare events, but they can be numerous in mega-clusters containing hundreds or even thousands of galaxies.

Sometimes when you look in a window, you see strange reflections. I think there are three or more reflections at play here. The silhouette is from a statue upstairs in the building whose window I was looking into. There is also what appears to be the edge of a deck or the banister of the upper floor. And the tree within it, behind me inthe shot.. And then there is the benevolent woman (me) trying to get a shot without getting a camera in it.
a enormous curved reflective surface in the middle of one of the most beautiful cities on earth can never be a bad thing.
explored- thanks!
None of us can control the stream, but we can set our sail.

Derelict farm building within the thick stone walls of "The City" near Shrone in Co. Kerry. For New Wall Wednesday group HWW!
The holy well at "The City" has been used as a place of worship for around 9000 years. I shall be adding more photos to my Shrone album in due course. You can read about the history of the area here www.voicesfromthedawn.com/city-and-the-paps/
While I was photographing the beautiful view from Rampart Range Road near Woodland Park, Colorado there was lightning in the distant clouds behind me. The view in that direction lacked the magnificent mountains but it had its own beauty. From this spot.. I was already at the top of one of the smaller mountains of the Front Range. This was probably at around 10,000 feet close to two hours after sunset.
Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!
