Welcoming 2025, here are a couple of photos from my fav shoot this past year: regal blooms of the saguaro cactus in the back garden. It must be roughly 36 years old, having bloomed for the first time in 2023. I got these pics from the top of a ladder... Next summer will be a taller challenge!

Puddle imitating real life perhaps, leaves at the end of branches

#SensoryArt #water #photography #puddles #reflection #perception #whoamikidding
A puddle in a wide gutter. Footpath and kerb is on the left, road on the right. A reflection of a tree is on the puddle. The tree has bare branches. On the road and in the gutter are leaves. They look like they could be on the tree, even thought they are flattened (on the road) or piled up (in the gutter).

Light makes all the difference.

Roses are still going strong in my part of the world. Saw this one on the last day of October, glowing in the sunlight. 🌹

The hanging nearly bare branches of a larch tree frame the top and one side of my photo. I took this photo from one of the higher pathways round the lake. In the distance are the fells and in the foreground the lake and autumnal trees. You can just see people on part of the land jutting into the lake.

A Bald Eagle takes off from the Great Blue Heron rookery. Lots of ducks show up around the rookery this time of year, which encourages the Bald Eagles to hang out in the area.

with no sense of self
autumn begins to undress
in each of her hands
a thousand crushed rainbows
waiting for dawn to bloom

bittersweet season, falling
into fall, I search
for first signs of color - look!

Kochi, India. May 22.
Kochi has some of the most magnificent sunsets I've ever witnessed. It's like the sky split to display all 7 colors of the visible spectrum.

Running like a swift stream flowing,
Plaintive your perpetual calling
While red-tinted dusk is glowing
Fending darkling night from falling,
Silver in the twilight striding,
Ways unseen you glimmer, wander,
Follow falling night to hiding— Only shadows left to ponder.
Silver in the Shadows
A Brief Glimpse

A beautiful arche shaped iceberg that we found in Disko Bay early August during one of our late night sailing.

To give you an idea the mast of the boat is around 30 meters high 😵‍💫⛵️🧊… This piece of ice was massive.

- making things matter -
Photograph of a scene in the city at night, with several small strands of a plant I sadly can't identify in the foreground, and some blurry car and street lights in the background. In the far distance there is also the blurry silhouette of a building, and the photo has nearly all colours of the rainbow in it.

A bird #scape if such a thing exists - a Great Egret escaping to the weekend! #Birds 🪶 #EastCoastKin
A Great Egret, taking to the air towards the setting sun - light refelcted off the water and the reeds, and shining through the wing and tail feathers of this large white bird.
