I hate Sweetgum trees. Our previous house had several in the back yard. They are not nice to bare feet.

Coyote on the rocks, waiting for a bobcat to pass.
Once you expand it from the thumbnail, the B&W really pops out at you, the colour not so much. I do love that shot. Did you try sepia?
An experiment with the T4i. I wanted to get both the flames and the fireplace properly exposed. Easy-peasy with my old mechanical gear. The EOS not so much. Quick preliminary shots showed ƒ-8@1/100 and ISO400 was perfect for the flames. From 15' using just the built in flash, everything else was at least 3 stops under exposed. Seemed simple enough to use the old Vivitar 283 as an optical bounce slave to complete the picture. But took me about half an hour to figure out how to set the built-in to trigger at the beginning of the shutter release rather than at the end. The default end-of-the-release setting only works if the slave is wireless. My slave trigger is old school optical.

That’s moved me I hope you have a great time🌉 No Limits, No Boundaries 🌉Believe it or not, I cried last night.. I cried a lot.. After months of planning and encountering vivid dreams 💭. Finally, booked my trip to the San Francisco - SF, Bay Area. Yes, I'm going to my dreamland. Landmark, I will forever 🖤 Love... This time I will touch the sky and make my wish turn into a pure reality…
After an intensive amount of research, I have found a perfect hidden spot to spend a full open night by the iconic 🌉 Golden Gate Bridge. Yes, I’m going to be sleeping by the Golden Gate Bridge. By the time I wake up and open my 🫣 eyes the first thing and the only thing I want to see the is the beautiful Golden Gate Bridge. The Golden Gate Bridge will either take my soul or make my dreams turn into a reality. My soul and spirit will be elevated, my feet won't touch the ground. They will touch the sky with having no limitations and no boundaries.
Call me crazy, call me psycho, call me a total lunatic, or is it a total obsession... no one can stop me 🌉🏃🏼♀️. My true love and emotions for the Golden Gate Bridge runs very deep, down to its roots. It runs in my DNA 🧬. I don’t care if it’s cold, foggy, loud, scary, frightening, terrifying, lonely, death-defying ☠️ or if I get sick due to the weather 🌫 none of that matters... Unstoppable and untouchable, Yes, however, I will be living my dream. I’m chasing my dream. Therefore, I shall be there soon. 🔥🚀

Shot was taken directly looking up at the Golden Gate Bridge for hours continuously in a ⭕️ circular motion. Lots of emotion, love, sweat, 🩸 blood, 🥲 tears… and overall feelings were left behind and buried. It is truly impeccable yet incredible. Leaving myself speechless! I believe that is something that can only be felt in heaven 🕊️.

Thank you! I do like the B&W for the classic look. I will have to try sepia to see what it looks like.
It's looks like one of the guys in Angry Birds😂

It was beautifuly written.
I'm guessing a lots of emotions at the same time.
Maybe little cringe, but have you considered to start writing, like poetry or just stories about things or experiences?
I call them "ankle breakers" -- nasty little things!they are really called gum balls. 🙂

The older we get, the places, people and music of the past bring back flood of memories, many with strong emotional attachments. I live in the Bay Area and been over the Golden Gate many times. However, when you live in particular area, sometimes things become too familiar and we tend not to take the time to explore them. I grew up 18 miles West of NYC, yet I never went up the Empire Bldg or visit the Statue of Liberty. I went around it in my 14' boat but never took the time to see Ellis Island. I am so glad you were able to bond so strongly with the GGB, and experience it so deeply.🌉 No Limits, No Boundaries 🌉Believe it or not, I cried last night.. I cried a lot..

Coworker of mine likes to decorate for Christmas by throwing a jumbled string of lights on cube wall. I decided to photograph it.
I'd be even more impressed if the pilot was at 40,000 feet!
