Canal level view of overhanging balcony along Venice, Italy, canal. Many details begin with carved gargoyle on canal level archway keystone and marble column capstones. Was surprised at the cracked and missing stucco sections on exterior walls which revealed the brick and stone with mortar construction.

While touring the snow damage of 2014 in York Pa. I spotted this cold and lonely bench .

A UNESCO World Heritage site, Plitvička Jezera National Park is undoubtedly one of the most stunning collection of lakes and waterfalls in the world. The waters flowing over the limestone and chalk have, over thousands of years, deposited travertine barriers, creating natural dams which in turn have created a series of beautiful lakes, caves and waterfalls. From a photographic standpoint, it is like being let loose in a candy store; more photo opportunities than you could handle in a week, let alone a day.

Used south facing picture window with bright afternoon sunlight as sole light source. Extremely high ISO 12800 and open aperture (f/4.5) to blow out light and hide tree, porch posts, and parked car in background. Tried to manually focus on leading lattice work near center but was fooled by average of front and rear lattices, true image focus is on the plane of the stem.

A deep maroon lily growing in our flower bed is framed by its neighboring ice plant.

Three blooms on one stem. Thought I had better capture it while it lasts.

No I did not color it. Yes it really is that blue.

Nothing like the scent of a freshly sliced lemon...

Just a knot in an old fence, begging to be noticed.

They cook it twice, but you can unfortunately only eat it once ... This pork is slow roasted in Indian spices and then deep fried. Absolutely delicious. Our host, Chef Plato, tops each one with a kind of curry-based sauce. It's sitting on a polenta cracker.

This was such an amazing place!! It is one that you have to experience for yourself. There are just not words.. other than surreal.. to describe this place!! From the crunching of the crampons on the ice, to the huge crevasses.. there is just nothing like it!! It is 4 miles wide, and 27 miles long! It moves a foot and a half every day, and you can hear it moving, and calving in the distance.

A visually appealing display of table side carved, wood smoked, slow roasted Peking duck meat. This was our first taste of the world famous food, which had been selected by our hostess, Lori Zhang, VP for Marketing at Four Seasons Hotel, Beijing, China, to cap off a selection of local delicacies, which included sun dried cherry tomato appetizer and sweet and sour pork, using strawberries in place of pineapple.

The swans had to form up a flotilla and break the ice this morning

I made these 20+ years ago for my kids. Nothing like homemade wooden toys.

I love the shapes taken by the frost, the many petals and spikes.
Eternally fascinating.

The Auroras put on a show last night. It was cold up on that mountain, but so worth it. Elk were still bugling in the distance. Taken in Central Washington State.

Frost is but slender weeks away,
Tonight the sunset glow will stay,
Swing to the north and burn up higher
And Northern Lights wall earth with fire.
Nothing is lost yet, nothing broken,
And yet the cold blue word is spoken:
Say goodbye to the sun.
The days of love and leaves are done.

The day I brought my border collie show prospect home, Alice.
