Putsborough is a beach on the coast of North Devon, England, between Croyde and Woolacombe. Putsborough beach is situated on the southern end of Woolacombe Sands. The surf works at all tide stages but mid to high tend to have an edge. It is the only beach in the area that benefits from some protection from the South/Southwesterly winds, thanks to Baggy Point headland. Peaks are scattered all along its length. It has a fairly slow waves which are suitable for beginners. The sandy beach has some rocky outcrops which provide paddling pools.

HAS BEEN FEATURED IN “UTAH LANDSCAPES” AND “A PLACE TO CALL HOME”. The Alpine Loop in American Fork canyon near Orem, Utah, USA is a beautiful place to take a drive, or a hike, during the autumn. This is Mount Timpanogos, famous locally for its’ touring cave after a short, but steep, mile or so hike to the top. I was lucky enough to arrive on a day when the season’s first snow for the higher altitudes had occurred overnight. So not only did I get what I came for, the fall colors, but I got the snow-covered pines as well. The clouds ascended just in time to reveal their handywork for my camera.
The icicles on this old and rather dirty red brick building were found on its south side. The building itself is located at the Utah State Fairpark in Salt Lake City, USA. The image was interesting to me because of its juxtaposition: the cold natural element of ice in nature poised next to the man-made architectural design, or art on the buildings side. It made an unusual and unique image.

Third Place Winner in the COUNTRY ROADS around the world Challenge What’s On YOUR Road? / A word of advice for everyone. Once the work is submitted to a challenge, don’t make any changes. I edited my original image and it disappeared from the challenge results. From my collection: / Emerquinox ~ The Spirit of Alaska ~ Alaska North Star Winter Scenics SOLD / 1x Matted Print A beautiful cow Moose and her yearling Calf browsing near North Pole Alaska ~ Winter Scenics Emerquinox is a word I coined when I combined the words Emerge and Equinox. This magnificent Cow Moose and her young calf were photographed with a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi near North Pole Alaska. North Pole Alaska is about a twenty minute drive from Fairbanks Alaska on Badger Road. Did you know more than one Moose is still Moose? Many Moose, or two Moose, or one Moose, it is always Moose. Just thought you would want to know that. :) I have many more images of this beautiful Cow Moose and her yearling calf as they permitted me to watch and photograph them for over an hour! I have over 100 shots of them. Of course I wouldn’t wish to post them all, but I will upload a few more if you would like to see them! Thank you so much to the Hosts and to everyone for your kind notes and for voting for my image in the Country Roads Around the World challenge What’s on YOUR Road? My image won Third Place! Thank you so much!! Many of my viewers seem to perceive I am standing on the ground within arms length of this 1200+ lb Moose!! I wish for everyone to know and understand that I remained in my truck watching her with her adorable calf for well over an hour. And while she did approach me as I remained in my truck watching her, (with my engine idling and heater blowing as the temps were subzero!) once she decided I was no threat to her, she seemed as curious about me as I was about her and her darling calf! The Cows are very protective of their young, and the Bulls are aggressive and unpredictable as well. And I would advise everyone to never approach a Moose. She is a ‘resident’ Moose, and she and her calf live in the deep forest surrounding my home in the wilderness when I lived in Alaska near North Pole. She is wild, and certainly not tame, as someone asked. A Cow Moose will kill you if you come between her and her calves. Cows are generally not hunted, and she is simply accustomed to being around humans since she is one of several generations of Moose born in this area. With an abundance of Diamond Willow (their favourite) and other tender shoots along the roadways, and the remnants of summer gardens, they simply brush off the snow with their noses and browse. She has no need to migrate. There are many many more in this area. They are elusive however, and nocturnal for the most part, so it is always a thrill to see one! It is only in winter when one sees them struggling to survive the deep winter browsing during the “daylight” hours. And then too, in winter it is dark for so many hours so the night is extended! Most people think of Alaska as The Land of the Midnight Sun. That is true only for a short time in a very brief summer. In winter Alaska is The Land of Perpetual Darkness. The calf’s first winter is the most precarious. This calf is experiencing her first winter. I can see that she is a female calf by her fine feminine sex characteristics. The male calves are larger and masculine. During summer it is generally late evening, dusk, during the night and early morning when one sees the beautiful Moose browsing and foraging in the forests and along the rivers and roadways. ~ Sharon Mau Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved / My images do not belong to the public domain and may not be reproduced in any manner whatsoever without my written authorization.

Sunsets and scenics of Interior Alaska ~ Trumpeter Swans/Tundra Swans ~ Pond and Lake Reflections ~ Boreal and Permafrost Forests~ Poetry and Quotes Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved This image was dedicated to my beloved identical twin sister Karon ( stzar ) 11 September 2007 “What is Love ~ Love is the scent with the lotus born. It is the silent choirs of petals Singing the winter’s harmony of uniform beauty. Love is the song of the soul, singing to God. It is the balanced rhythmic dance of planets - sun and moon lit In the sky hall festooned with fleecy clouds Around the sovereign Silent Will. It is the thirst of the rose to drink the sunrays And blush red with life. ‘Tis the promptings of the mother earth To feed her milk to the tender, thirsty roots, And to nurse all life. It is the urge of the sun To keep all things alive. Love is the unseen craving of the Mother Divine That took the protecting father’form, And that feeds helpless mouths With milk of mother’s tenderness. It is the babies sweetness, Coaxing the rain of parental sympathy To shower upon them. It is the lover’s unenslaved surrender to the beloved To serve and solace. It is the elixir of friendship, Reviving broken and bruised souls. It is the martyr’s zeal to shed his blood For the well-beloved fatherland. It is the ineffable, silent call of the heart to another / heart. It is the God-drunk poet’s heartaches For every creature’s groans. Love is to enjoy the family rose of petal-beings, And thence to move to spacious fields - Passing by portals of social, national, international / sympathy, On to the limitless Cosmic Home To gaze with looks of wonderment, And to serve all that lives, still or moving. This is to know what love is. He knows who lives it. Love is evolution’s ameliorative call To the far-strayed sons To return to Perfection’s home. It is the call of the beauty – robed ones To worship the great Beauty. It is the call of God Through silent intelligences And starburst of feelings. Love is the Heaven Toward which the flowers, rivers, nations, atoms, / creatures’ you and I Are rushing by the straight path of action right, Or winding laboriously on error’s path, All to reach haven there at last.” ~ From: Songs of the Soul by Paramahansa Yogananda Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date/Time 10 September 2007 19:56:43 / Tv Shutter Speed 1/500 Aperture Value 20.0 / Evaluative Metering ISO 200 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
