It was a very wet Easter ‘08 in the Southern NSW Highlands – but all was not in vain! There was a lot of mist and rustic charm about the place. While taking this photo of the entrance to a rural property the owner suddenly materialised out of the mist and spooked the hell out of me. Thankfully he wasn’t carrying a pitchfork and didn’t seem to mind too much!

Prairie Marmots….. UNTOUCHED IMAGE AND STRAIGHT FROM THE CAMERA ! Generally large ground squirrels, those most often referred to as marmots tend to live in mountainous areas such as the Alps, Carpathians, Tatra, and Pyrenees in Europe, the Rockies and the Sierra Nevada in the United States, and Northern Canada. However, the groundhog is also properly called a marmot, while the similarly-sized but more social prairie dog is not classified in the genus Marmota but in the related genus Cynomys. Marmots typically live in burrows, and hibernate there through the winter. Most marmots are highly social, and use loud whistles to communicate with one another, especially when alarmed. Marmots mainly eat greens. They eat many types of grasses, berries, lichens, mosses, roots and flowers.

Looking down the gorge from the lower bridge, Falls of Bruar . I’m particularly impressed by the colours and the smooth glistening rocks. This area is rich in geology (an extension of the Loch Tay fault?): there’s a lot of limestone and other metamorphic sedimentary rocks (layered slate, possibly some schist) and a bit of red sandstone nearby, all folded making rakish angles. Taken on the Shen Hao 5×4” large-format camera with Fuji Velvia (old RVP emulsion) film.

A lone maple leaf somehow stuck to rotting tree trunk, mayb e caught on the lichen. Both tree and leaf appear close to be reclaimed by the forest itself.

“Love Rests on No Foundation ~ It is an endless ocean, with no beginning or end. Imagine, a suspended ocean, riding on a cushion of ancient secrets. All souls have drowned in it, and now dwell there. One drop of that ocean is hope, and the rest is fear.” ~ Quatrains of Rumi Plumeria Blossom on Lava Rocks / Hamoa Beach Maui Hawai`i Copyright © Sharon Mau / All Rights Reserved Featured in Natural Colour and Light group 25 December 2008 Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi This lovely Plumeria blossom floated from the tree which arches overhead as I was walking down the stone steps to the luxurious black sand beach of Hamoa, one of my favourite beaches on Maui. I was captivated with the beauty of it resting softly on the lichen blanketed lava rock and the contrasts of soft sensual beauty with the rough textures of the hardened magma. Of course I instantly stopped and photographed it. It is one of my favourites and I am happy you enjoy it

A chance visit to a spot that I had long been meaning to checkout with my camera, situated at the end of a track called Spray Farm Rd, half way between Port Arlington and Drysdale, Victoria. On arriving the sky was grey, dull and uninspiring to say the least but I gave it the benefit of the doubt and decided to take a walk along the shore to kill some time and give the sun a chance to get lower in the sky. After about 1/2 hour of waiting the light and colors were transformed almost instantly, luckily I already had my tripod and camera over my shoulder and ready to go.

I said I’d get the hang of using the 10X magnifying lens after my tiny frog shots showed only a tiny dot of sharp focus in the centre of the focal point. I also said I get a drop of water as clear as humanly possible and top ‘sno-globe’. Honestly, I thought I had it with the shot of the drop coming out of its own icy base, part of this same shoot. But I think I better captured what I was really hoping for with ‘lichen drop 1’. Please let me know what you think (as if you wouldn’t! LOL!) and if it’s not worthy of my patting myself on the back, I’ll pat harder & lower and try again. :-D Taken at Cathy’s home in the forested area immediately beyond her back field (Penn Valley, CA), this photograph is of the tip of an oak tree with the moisture the night’s fog left behind. The lichen seem to thrive in the winter frost and dampness so the colours here are from very happy lichen the the tree branch. The camera was focused by physically moving my body and the camera into the point of focus within the drop. Between the slight breeze, my own breathing, my heartbeat, pressing the shutter release, and finally going with the timer but the shutter itself opening tossed the focus! Setting the tripod was an exercise in frustration because tightening any plane caused the composition to change. And the ultimate insult was having the shot completely set up and I bumped a neighbouring branch, causing the location I’d fought to shoot to bump into the lens and cream the drop. Arrrghhh!!!! Finding a new location and this drop was like a dream – the worst nightmare possible. I was FREEZING but still wearing gloves, a ski jacket, a sweatshirt, AND a t-shirt. I could do everything with the gloves on but the camera could be less than 1mm off and everything sucked. In the end I got the shot without the tripod, without bracketing, without fighting the wind, my body, or the rest of the tree. I set the camera, pressed the button, and let it shoot until the buffer filled about 5 times, praying I’d get at least a couple good ones. Of about 50 shots only this one is in focus to this degree. Well, God gave me one so I’d better not complain about it, ya know? ;-) The Naughty and the Nice / ___________ / Nikon D80 / NIkkor 18-55 “kit” lens / F-stop: 5.6 / Exposure: 1/15 / Focal length: 48mm / Metering mode: spot / full manual mode / creative settings: flat / January 3rd, 2009 ** / And this piece was featured in: *Macro Water Photographic Gallery with my deep gratitude!

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery The Magic of the Forest Floor Goblin Forest Walk, The Blue Tier, North East Highlands National Park, Tasmania, Australia. As Is – Straight from the Camera The_Blue_Tier The Blue Tier has been the home to thousands of people who have lived, worked and died on the mountain. Tin was the reason the early pioneers came here. The tin lay in heaps behind rocks and in the creek and river beds. All the miners had to do was bag the ore up. / In their search for the tin-bearing rock, these early pioneers burnt most of the temperate rainforest which existed above the 600 metre level. When the mines were finished, the farmers over-grazed the grass areas which followed the burning, eventually the mosses took over. / Since the last grazing, around 1970, the mountain and its native animals have been successful in aiding the regeneration of the temperate rainforest. What you see today is the continuing struggle of the rainforest trying to return. / To appreciate the extent of the regeneration it is necessary to visit the various areas by following the well-defined walking tracks on the mountain. There are bogs, grassland, pure rainforest, regenerated rainforest, tea-tree swamps and areas dominated by celery top pine. Canon PowerShot A650 IS Shutter Speed: 1/60sec / Aperture: F4.8 / ISO: 320

Lichen – nature’s colonisers of stressful habitats.

This image looks exactly the way it felt to capture it! The moss is real, the camera is upright. The slope extends downward at exactly the same precarious angle for a good few hundred metres, and I was wearing the wrong shoes. This is in Central Victoria, Australia.

A softly blurred waterfall flowing through rocks, taken from the lower bridge in the Falls of Bruar. The geology of this place is quite impressive; at least 3 kinds of rocks (slate, limestone and possibly some schist) folded and thrust up at rakish angles around the Loch Tay fault, quite an impressive river gorge eroded by the Bruar Water. Nikon d200; I acquired a new tripod for the purpose of making this photo, but went on to shoot Raw instead; this one took a subsequent visit and benefitted from more water flowing anyway.
