Where will granddad drag me to next..

On the early slopes of Skiddaw on the way down.

Mother Nature, you blow me away! Mount Rainier National Park.

This is the sequel to the previous shot... ;) I ran down the trail to set up next to the river that runs into the lake.

you always wonder about the what ifs...

I wonder if the sap is stirring yet,

If wintry birds are dreaming of a mate,

If frozen snowdrops feel as yet the sun

And crocus fires are kindling one by one:

Sing, robin, sing!

I still am sore in doubt concerning Spring.

Something red on a wet table that caught my eye outside a cafe in Yorkshire...

The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.

Still continuing my color journey, again farther away than last time. I see that slowing down is even more important with Ektar, since tending to see things in B&W gives a latitude of what to ignore, if that makes any sense. But it's a great exercise to observe once again. Thanks to those flickeranians who continue to inspire!

This is the dried stump of the petiole of the edible "Elephant Yam" (Amorphophallus paeoniifolius) sitting on a black log and looking up in wonder. :D

Wonder Lake in Denali NP is my best memory of this magic land.

I wonder if I can convey the sense of peace in this place...

Experimenting with colored lights, white lights and a gelled flash today. I have the sides of the bubble blocked with black cards to help define the shape. I'll share the bts on my Instagram story.

-----

For the first day of 2017, we were gifted sunshine and mild temperatures.

I caught up with Dawn this morning as she was pushing snow away from her car, she was frazzled and stressed and I sensed she could use a moment to step out of the city and into a world where magic seems real.

So I told her to dress her daughter for an adventure outside and led them to my happy place.

For an hour today, she let the stresses of her busy life fade away and just enjoyed her youngest daughter's wonderment with the birds who know no fear and was lifted by that feeling that anything is possible.

Once in a while, it's best to step out of the everyday and enter the enchanted.

Hope everyone has had a good start to the new year!

Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Fighting alongside men in a war to end all wars, she discovers her full powers and true destiny. Fierce, strong and brave, Wonder Woman was the hero of my childhood. This outfit by Dirty Princess is absolutely stunning. It come sin three different versions; Epic 1, Epic 2 and Comic....

Don't be so familiar and so much into the details. Keep people dreaming. Close the window, and make them wonder.

La vita normale non mi interessa. Cerco solo i momenti più intensi. Sono alla ricerca del meraviglioso.

Anaïs Nin

Ieri sera, da casa, ho alzato gli occhi al cielo. Sembrava una notte serena... vedevo giove, brillare, e una manciata di stelle, forse una dozzina in tutto. Deprimente...

Eppure, appena al di sopra di quel guscio d'aria umida e lontano dalle luci di milioni di lampioni, esistono visioni straordinarie di migliaia di stelle colorate e nubi di luce, striature oscure disseminate senza alcuna logica apparente e forme bizzarre... Quel cielo è lì. Basta solo cercare altri luoghi dai quali vederlo com'è veramente, e tenerselo nel cuore, per fare scorta di meraviglia.

In questa foto, una meravigliosa immagine del centro della nostra galassia, mentre attraversa come una ruota il cielo perfetto dell'isola di La Rèunion.

Buon lunedi
