I love to ramble/explore with camera in hand, both near and far; back roads are the best. Sharing beauty from around the world.
All photos are mine, unless reposted.
Motto: Take the day you are given and find the beauty in it! ✈️🚗📸

If this old log on the beach could tell stories. I would sit and listen and dream of quieter times.

This beautiful little tern had its eye on breakfast. It was feeding in the shallows of our local wildlife refuge. I stood at the edge of the parking lot and watched them fish just a few feet away. #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin #birds #terns #birdsinflight #HighKey #bnw

A photograph of a long, straight city street in Tokyo at dusk, viewed as it stretches away into the distance. The road is lined with tall, closely packed buildings on both sides, and a series of traffic lights and street lamps runs along its length, glowing warmly as daylight fades. The lights form a continuous trail of colour along the street, guiding the eye forward and giving a strong sense of direction and movement. The scene feels busy and active, suggesting many people and vehicles moving through the space as the city transitions from day into night and more windows and lights begin to shine across the skyline.

Don't have any cool pics of this year's frozen canal, but here's one from last January at Great Haywood Junction looking down the Staffs & Worcs Canal

The Shape of Silence - Hawke's Bay, NZ.

At dawn, the trees at Lake Tūtira were barely more than shadows in the fog. As the sun lifted, their shapes emerged—brief, delicate silhouettes—before the light burned the mist away and the magic dissolved into the everyday.

I forget what I’m looking at, but flowers in a garden. Orangey, reddish with yellow and green.

A drone view of some bare winter trees. The sun is about to set and the branches look golden or purple in the light.

The family/friend Christmas visits continue, so will be back to normal photo posting tonight...

Before I go, here's another from the recent trip to #Scotland of the wonderful Allt Chranaidh Falls - we returned when no-one else was there so I could get a full length shot without people in it!
A tall waterfall falls between high cliffs over black rocks into a river below; the water is brown from tannin. There is some autumnal vegetation at the banks and on the cliffs. The bit of sky visible is grey/blue. The photo is long exposure so the white water is smoothed, and a polariser filter was used to prevent reflection on the water so you can see the brown colour and the rocks on the bed.
