9" of new snow in Litchfield, Maine.
Woodberry Pond Litchfield, Maine (
Bonsai)
I took a photo of this camp about a month ago when we had a little snow and the pond was about half froze. Now, no snow and very little ice. It should look more like winter next week at this time.
My friend cc95437 rushed down to my place and practically forced me out of my warmth to venture out into the cold stormy evening. . .am glad she did. hehe
Only the West entrance is open as there is still about 9ft of snow on the ground.
and showers happening now
This photo is from a huge tree in Central Park. I think this shows the 3 stages: the red bud, white flower & green leaf.
. . .the rain still hasn't let up - I haven't gone out as a result; I don't want my camera getting damaged in the rain.

Some of the beautiful mountains of the Alaskan Range as seen from the Denali Highway, midway between Cantwell and Paxson. Also notice the ice still over part of the lake.
I wandered down to the beach to capture the sunset from between the rocks I usually shoot from the tops of the cliffs. The weather was warmer and the sunset was GORGEOUS.

Warm dry weather after a wet spring means the wildflowers in Crested Butte, Colorado are at their peak.
A vivid show last night. I hope you enjoy this series as much as we enjoyed taking the photos. Pictures just don't do the aurora any justice. This is exactly how the sky looked with flowing greens for over an hour. This helps make living in the sub zero temps more bearable.

Winter sunlight casts a golden glow on the phenomenal early-season trail conditions. Clear skies following fourteen inches of fresh snow bring out the beauty of winter, but also the chill, with temperatures in the single digits.

The core of an extinct volcano, this unique rock formation puzzled early explorers who thought they were encountering a ship rising from the mists so common in SE Alaska.
Sunshine from a low angle in the evening and a circular polarized lens helped to really bring this scene to life. The Adirondacks are gorgeuos right now!

A Day at Mungo National Park Down Under in OZ :) (
ozcazz)
We are on holidays and we went to Mungo National Park which is World Hertiage listed. The Willandra Lakes World Heritage area, with Mungo National Park at its centre, maintains a continuous record of human occupation stretching back well over 40,000 years. Rain and wind has uncovered ancient fireplaces and hearths, as well as calcified plant matter, artefacts, stone tools and animal bones. At the 33 kilometre long kilometre long crescent of the Walls of China, erosion has sculpted the sand and clay into dramatic formations. This pic was taken at Sunset. Hope you enjoy my journey to Mungo as much as I did :)

Phot of my humble home, with vivid green and purple Auroras clearly visible behind. Taken in the wee hours of August 17th, 2006.
For those interested in seeing or photographing the Auroras, tonight (August 17th) and tomorrow will be a very good opportunity fo do so. Courtesy of a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from Sunspot 904, mild auroras are possible for the 17th and 18th.

I couldn't resist a shot of the volcano in our backyard during the sunset on the 16th. Hopefully thw weather will break this week and I can get some sunset pictures over the mountain.
This was an unbelievable hike. Hopefully I can get some more pictures of it on later.
Some more pics of the same hike.
From the beginning of creation, I think our maker had a plan... For us to leave these shores and sail beyond the sand, And let the good light guide us to the waves and the wind... To the beaches and a world where we have never been... And we'll climb upon a mountain, y'all we'll let our voices ring, Those who've never tried they'll be the first to sing...

Waves at Rialto Beach (
Ann75)
Another wonderful view from Rialto Beach, Olympic National Park located on the Olympic Peninsula, WA, USA.
It was nearly half an hour until sunrise at this point, but the sky was still beautiful, and was reflected in the waves as they crashed on the rocks below me.
the trees is still God's Country.....
The sky looks old but actually this was taken in the early afternoon. I'd stopped briefly to take a few last photos -- and though still a mile and a half from the Bunny Flat Trailhead -- to say my good byes (in solitude) to the mountain -- when from somewhere far down below -- barely discernable -- came the sound of a train whistle. It was a sound foreign to wilderness -- yet so faint -- so distant -- that somehow it didn't seem to intrude. I stood there listening a long time and something that Joshua Loth Liebman wrote many years ago came to mind: "Some children of the earth are privileged to spend a long and sunlit day in the garden ... For others the day is shorter, cloudier, and dusk descends more quickly as in a winter's tale."
Warmer weather coming this week, but today it's very pretty after yesterday's snowstorm.

Late Autumn, Sweet Light (
HOLLY)
Harrisville, MI
I broke in my new MSR Hubba Hubba tent with a trip up into a nearby mountain. I went to bed early and got up around 4am. This picture was taken as I was preparing breakfast at 4:30am with the remnants of the northern lights on the horizon. Unfortunately frost kept developing on the lens during the long exposures, resulting in the strange flare from the fire. Any suggestions on how to keep frost off a lens under these conditions?
Edited 11/5/07. Thanks for all the suggestions. In this case the problem wasn't condensation (kept the camera and lenses outside in a ziplock bag overnight). There were simply frost forming conditions. Thanks to AlteredStars and ICanonit for their recommendation to rubber band handwarms around the lens. That sounds like the answer, I'm looking forward to giving it a try.
An early fall windstorm hit southern Lake Michigan today. Wind gusts as high as 50 mph with more expected tomorrow. Went up to St. Joe Michigan and shot those lighthouses and will try our lighthouse tomorrow if I get the chance. Enjoy the sunset

Not a wild goose chase (
xint)
I got up at dawn, not my default setting, because I knew it would be a beautiful morning on Echo Island. I was right but I didn't expect that when I pulled out of the boat house to catch the reflections and rounded the point to the front of my island that I would find a swan basking in the dawn sunlight. As I moved to get him in the foreground of the dawn, he took flight. I jammed the throttle forward and soon I was chasing him flat out down the lake. It was an adventure getting this picture but it was well worth it. In the chase I got others of shots of the swan that were sharper but this had so many elements I liked that I decided to go with impressionism. It is hard getting a perfectly sharp picture of a bird that is moving at 40 mph when you are also traveling at 40 mph, bouncing on the waves, being wind blown, steering with one hand, adjusting the camera and shooting with the other while using one eye on the water and one in the view finder. All things considered, I'd say, "not bad".

Tucked away in off a small fire road down in a valley between Saluda, NC and Tryon, NC lies a beautiful water fall called Pearson's Falls. You'd miss it if you weren't looking for it, but the drive to it is spectacular... these were taken on the journey to Pearson's Falls.
I bet they're happy they are not outside this very cold morning, only 8 degrees.

the power of the storm (

After a long week of storms, large waves and hardly winds, today the waves reached the 7-8 meters of height. On the Lighthouse of Mouro the large waves struck all day. With sun or without him; other times rain or cloudy.I remained 3 or 4 hours carrying out photos. WIND information: www.windguru.com
***********
HISTORY/Caption: The island mouro lighthouse... This Lighthouse entered operation February 15, 1860.Its silhouette recalls to a lighthouse of English rock.Until 1921 they inhabited in it 2 lighthouse keepers that on numerous occasions incommunicado several days by the temporary remained.In 1865 one of the torreros lost the life after to be dragged by one of the strong waves that whip it.In 1920 it withdrew the lamp of a wick, substituting it for a destellador of naked flame with burner, besides a viewpoint of drum. It does some years that the Lighthouse was beheaded by Coasts, passing to the category of beacon. The last incident of certain importance happened in February of 1996 when the system of lighting remained destroyed by a temporary one, remaining dull several days by the impossibility of agreeing to him. The Island of Mouro, declared reserves marine, is a habitual place of I dive. The waves that whip it in days of temporary they are used to surpassing the height of the lighthouse. Their light is situated to 38,7 m. above sea level.

This photo was taken near the south entrance to Joshua Tree National Park in California. For the last two years, very little rain, if any has fallen in the desert in Southern California. The rains which occurred in January, 2008 have caused dormant flower seeds to sprout, giving beautiful color to the desert floor.

Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) - this stump had at some point in its life been a victim of a fire. Whether set or wild is not known: Fire can cause damage to redwoods, sometimes creating a burnt hollow termed a "goosepen" by early settlers who used to pen chickens, geese and other livestock inside. Redwoods can grow tissue to heal fire scarring, sometimes completely covering the scar. They can also grow a buttress to compensate for a lean.

Woods Lake in the Toiyabe National Forest - many fun rock scrambles here, and a jumping off place for higher backcountry lakes.
I knew I needed a DIFFERENT view of Portland Headlight, or you all were going to kill me! So, I was out there, checking on how many of my matted prints had sold at the gift shop today, and of course I brought the camera. . . It was misty and foggy, and I wondered if a photo with the roses in focus, and the lighthouse slightly OUT of focus, might work. I quite like it. . . I'll be interested to see what others think. . .
Sorry, but I can never resist my favorite subject! I've been out of commission after a bad cold for almost a month, and my first real outdoor shoot was to head to Fort Williams State Park to see if my lighthouse was still there!

You can see five distinct waterfalls in this photo at avalanche lake. About 15 miles into glacier national park, there is 2-3 mile hike starting at trail of the cedars. It's actually quite beautiful in and of itself. After tripping over a root, and doing a face plant... I was cursing to myself, that this trek better be worth it. Upon coming on the lake, it absolutely was.
Avalanche lake was glass still, and the waterfalls perfectly visible. Unfortunely, I arrived in the morning and the shape of the mountain surrounding the lake is north facing, and very bowl like. So the lighting on this photo was difficult, as no sunshine really got onto the mountain side.

The poor birds around here have no privacy at all. Judging by his glare at the window, he doesn't like it either. Ohhhhh to have had it in better focus!
The background in this shot is dark because at that moment, a cloud passed over, blotting out the sun from the cliffs and ocean while the sun shone brightly on the cliff with the Coastal Buckwheat. That's summer for ya out here; windy and sunny, foggy and misty or just plain old overcast. Today? It's a gloriously sunny day and I am stuck inside working a different kind of photo shoot. See the two Portraits in this series - it's Vacation Bible School week! :)

Fall 2008 --- FINALLY!!! After going to Maroon Bells last year and the year before, we finally got there when there was blue sky AND when the Aspens were about at there peak.

It is supposed to get pretty cold tonight and for the next few days, possibly down to -45. Not that we can't handle it, but it has been such a mild fall and early winter. It isn't all that unusual to get down to -50 this time of year in Tok Alaska USA, but that doesn't mean we WANT it too... But, if we respect "THE BOSS," (Mother Nature) and prepare just a bit, it's all good.
Now that they are in their winter colors I thought it time to update
a few new images of them.

Hayes on Chichagof Island. The mountains in the foreground would be on Catherine Island and the snow covered peaks behind would be on Baranof Island.
One lone poppy stood opened to greet the sun among a host of daisies. The clouds in the distance take with them the last of the rain for a few days.

This shot was taken about 2 hours ago. The snow is really coming down now. This is the 1st major snow in Rockbridge County, VA. this year. There calling for 5" tonight.
A pleasant surprise on our walk last night - as part of a recent building project near the 101 freeway - wildflowers were planted and this is the first Spring they've blossomed. I recognize the poppy and lupine but I need help on the others varieties.
It rained all Memorial Day weekend. This was my only real keeper for the day today...

You can see five distinct waterfalls in this photo at avalanche lake. About 15 miles into glacier national park, there is 2-3 mile hike starting at trail of the cedars. It's actually quite beautiful in and of itself. After tripping over a root, and doing a face plant... I was cursing to myself, that this trek better be worth it. Upon coming on the lake, it absolutely was.
Avalanche lake was glass still, and the waterfalls perfectly visible. Unfortunely, I arrived in the morning and the shape of the mountain surrounding the lake is north facing, and very bowl like. So the lighting on this photo was difficult, as no sunshine really got onto the mountain side.

This was taken up near the Benmore dam in the Waitaki Valley, IR of course.
One of the many mountain peaks surrounding Chinook Pass.
In the valley near the water you can see a few of the buildings in Hope. Hope lies on the northern end of Kenai Peninsula, on the south shore of the Turnagain Arm of Cook Inlet. The community lies on the 17-mile Hope Highway, northwest of the Seward Highway, near the mouth of Resurrection Creek. Winter temperatures range from 14 to 27; summer temperatures vary from 45 to 65. Average annual precipitation is 20 inches.
Coreopsis, painted daisies, horsemint- so many colors. It's a beautiful sight- lines one whole stretch of the road. There are only a few butterflies now. A beautiful day- blue sky, sunshine, cool breeze, low humidity.

Growing up in the Midwest relief from hot summer days meant a trip inside to the AC - out West it means a trip to the cool coast.
High Meadows somewhere in the mountains between Telluride and Silverton on the Hardrock 100 course.
It is supposed to get pretty cold tonight and for the next few days, possibly down to -45. Not that we can't handle it, but it has been such a mild fall and early winter. It isn't all that unusual to get down to -50 this time of year in Tok Alaska USA, but that doesn't mean we WANT it too... But, if we respect "THE BOSS," (Mother Nature) and prepare just a bit, it's all good.
puffy clouds and clear skies make for nice hike

I have wanted to try this effect for the longest time, but I didn't know where there was a waterfall.
Incredible scenery of northern Utah.
I grew up in this Mountain's shadow but had never ventured up to it. It was in full bloom and glory this day. These images are nice but do not show how magnificent it is in person. I lost count of the different varieties of wild flowers in bloom. This is one of those places you should visit before you die, and at this time of year!

Reflection of Mt. Evans in Summit Lake. The actual summit of Mt. Evans can't quiet be seen in this picture, it is just off to the left of the picture. Unfortunately, no mountain goats this trip. I asked a ranger up there and she said there were some earlier that day but they were gone by the time I got there.
At 6:30 a.m., just as we were preparing to drive to the VA Medical Center, the sky was filled with the most beautiful sunrays I've ever seen in my life. I even took Drzl and went into the woods, and they were in the deepest part of the woods. I wanted to share them with you. I hope you enjoy them. "I believe!"
Snow patches, such as these along Lamoille Lake, sometimes never melt at the higher elevations. Lamoille Lake is at 9800'and near the peaks of the Ruby Mtns, NV.

Maroon Bells, Last days of Summer (
SNHphotos)
I was hoping that this trip I would be able to get a clear sky and some sunrise shots... Unfortunately, we had a bunch of thunderstorms go through and cloud up the whole sky. This taken the day before the last day of summer. We got snow on the way home, which was the last day of summer. It's kinda funny, this whole trip was planned so we could be there for the peak of the fall colors, and it wasn't even fall yet! Now it is! HAPPY FALL!!!
This was a dirt road shortcut, but we've yet to figure out what the name means - the blue part anyway.

Is that fog creeping up the driveway (
deepwoods)
Very early morning shot of the fog which crept up the driveway and wound its way through the woods. A little eerie, but lovely to see.
So after taking the "Elk and Snow" picture, I called home to let the family know that after I made one more loop of an area, then got a bite to eat I would be heading home. Because of this guy and and a bunch of other elk it was over an hour before I even got to the "a bite to eat" part of heading home.
Rain and fog on the mountain...
The wispy cirrus clouds in this scene reminded me of an image of an angel floating over the sky as the fall colors popped at Oxbow Bend, Wyoming.
Beautiful fall day... spent it getting in some wood for the winter.

Halnaker Mill was first mentioned in 1540 as belonging to the manor of “Halfnaked”. It was built for the Duke of Richmond as the feudal mill of the Goodwood Estate. The surviving mill is thought to date from the 1740s and is known to have been standing c.1780. Halnaker Mill was working until struck by lightning in 1905, damaging the sails and windshaft. The derelict mill was restored in 1934 by Neve’s, the Heathfield millwrights as a memorial to the wife of Sir William Bird. Further repair work was done in 1954 by E Hole and Sons, The Burgess Hill millwrights. The mill was again restored in 2004. The mill is owned by West Sussex County Council.

Sally is gone that was so kindly,
Sally is gone from Ha’nacker Hill
And the Briar grows ever since then so blindly;
And ever since then the clapper is still…
And the sweeps have fallen from Ha’nacker Mill.
Ha’nacker Hill is in Desolation:
Ruin a-top and a field unploughed.
And Spirits that call on a fallen nation,
Spirits that loved her calling aloud,
Spirits abroad in a windy cloud.
Spirits that call and no one answers—
Ha’nacker’s down and England’s done.
Wind and Thistle for pipe and dancers,
And never a ploughman under the Sun:
Never a ploughman. Never a one.

Recent rains have provided Central Texas with a prolific wildflower crop. Here, Bluebonnets surround a Redbud tree near Elgin.
My husband and I got wind of a strong geomagnetic storm and after realizing that there was probably little to no chance of our seeing the resulting auroras in our cloud-covered local area, we drove 100 miles north on the Richardson Highway in hopes of clearer skies. The aurora was so vivid that it showed up clearly before the sky was even fully dark after sunset! What an amazing experience that I can't even put into works. I wish I could have captured more of this. The whole sky was full of color! My first lights with pink and purple too!

While on my way home from work yesterday I saw some Shetland Ponies grazing in the most beautiful field covered in wildflowers. I just had to stop and capture this moment. This little one came out and posed for me in the afternoon sun and wind. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, it looked like something out of a strange dream!
Beautiful auroras were visible between April 5 to April 7 in Fairbanks, AK.
The nicest auroras this year came after the April 5 CME sun event.

Early evening in the Alps, pointing the camera outside the hotel room balcony across the beautiful geranium planters. The Alps are filled with flowers during the summer months, probably because the winter is so cold and long.

I still can't believe I was worried about missing the monsoons in Arizona because I had to go to Holland for work. This might be one of the best storms I've ever seen. 70mph winds, lightning, rain, uprooted trees, flattened cornfields...INSANE! (HDR Photo)

Paradise is it's real name and it was named that when Virinda Longmire visited Paradise in the summer of 1885 while she viewed the wildflowers in the alpine meadows there.

This year my younger brothers and I got up at 6:00am to try to get to Maroon Bells as early as possible. We got there at about 10:30am, and the reflection was the best I have ever seen! When taking the pictures I heard someone say that earlier the reflection was no good. Then about a half hour after this shot the wind picked up just a little, and there was no reflection at after that. So, we got the at the perfect time for reflections!!

I did a lot of shooting out of the car window on my way to Paradise in Mt. Rainier National Park. The road got snowy at about 5 miles from my destination, at less than a mile it was getting slick but I kept on going. Driving a little rental car, alone (with no low gear) up a mountain is a bit dicey in my book.

THANK YOU all for the beautiful pictures
God Bless
Hope you have a great Wednesday.
We live in a valley and sound gets amplified. This morning there is no wind, no dogs barking or birds singing. The only sound is the occasional car on the highway. It is also very foggy. Strange day indeed.

Hey stuck, I live outside of Houston, which region do you live in? We are having our annual festival of the web-worms in the pecan trees. It's terrific. You can just sit beneath the ever decreasing foliage and watch those little buggers eat and poop right on you. And the webs they leave behind are perfect for holiday trick or treating. I think my pecan will be completely covered in webs by the time Halloween rolls around. :)
:) Ah...the joys of fall. I think I'll go have a lie down now. I'm giddy with all the fun.
