Taken in my grandparents gardenlounge and almost impossible without HDR…
Early reflections on a lake where a wood log is standing
I happened upon this butterfly in the woods one day and knew it was different from the common ones I normally see. Audubon’s Field Guide to Insects and Spiders revealed it was a Question Mark Butterfly, so named because of a marking that looks similar to that punctuation mark on the backside of its wings. I removed the original background using PS and added this orange shimmer to accentuate the lovely color of this unusual butterfly.

Red sqirrel and whitetail doe getting acquainted.
I found this bark so captivating…the entire tree was covered with these orange patterns.

A local bluebell wood (South Wingfield, Derbyshire, UK) – ortonised. Always makes for a pretty image.
Old dilapidated barn with rustic red doors. This old barn will be torn down sometime this month. Someone in the neighborhood complained that it was an “eye sore”.... so sad! Image was redone for me in HDR by Kimberly Palmer.
This was the other photograph from my day at the Zoo. I see the sun rise in the distance as I wait for you my love. / You promised me your swift arrival filled with love for me. / I wait as told for your arrival in your favorite place. / But here I sit and you’ve not come its been forever and a day. / This is the place where we first kissed it seemed like yesterday. / The years have passed too fast as they always do. / I sit and wait for you to come to comfort me this day. / But like the days before this one your presence is not felt. / I sit and wait for you to come have you forgotten me? / We talked about this special place that meant so much to us. / It was here that I first stole a kiss and caused your face to blush. / And here was where we made our plans if we might wed. / And it’s here that I gave you a ring to say you were my love. / And here it was that you told me you would have my son. / I wait for you before the sun each and every morning. / Its bright rays sing your name as I wait for you. / But no where in the distant do I see your smile. / Have you forgotten me my love I wait for you to come? / You passed so many years ago did you forget your promise? / I’ll wait for you forever more I’ve not forgotten you. / And with the passing of my soul I’ll wait and wait for you. / Until the sun comes no more I’ll sit and wait for you. /

First snow this year Photo made in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands – Crown Domain Het Loo Where I live, the snow didn’t stay longer than a few minutes, so I had to travel a few hours to make these pics… The public transport was all messed up because of the first winter-weather, but brought me finally into winter-wonderland… I think this journey was well worth the effort :) ...

Sutton Bank is a high vantage point at the very edge of the Hambleton Hills and the North York Moors with extensive views over the Vale of York and the Vale of Mowbray. Because of its location and high elevation, Sutton Bank is popular with gliding and flying enthusiasts. Predominant landmarks include Whitestone Cliff and Roulston Scar, the former overlooking the mysterious (and reputedly bottomless !) Lake Gormire. Close nearby are the villages of Sutton-under-Whitestonecliff, and Kilburn (famous for the White Horse of Kilburn, and Robert Thompson – the “Mouseman” of Kilburn). / Sutton Bank is one of the most spectacular inland cliffs anywhere in Britain, and carries one of the most hair-raising main roads in the country. The near vertical drop from top to bottom is around 140 metres, and crosses at least two major geological boundaries. / The Sutton Bank National Park Centre is on the western edge of the fabulous North York Moors National Park – home to the largest expanse of heather moorland in England. It provides the perfect introduction to the National Park, its people, history and wildlife. Nikon D60 / HDR in Photomatix & pp in PS CS3 / Lens: Nikkor 18-200mm / 1/160 f/9.0 ISO200
