Up The Creek
Yosemite National Park is very large and there are many places in the park that I could say are my favorite part of the park. This is one of those areas.
This small branch of a creek that comes down off the mountain, flows under a small bridge and then flows roughly 100 yards, as seen here, before dropping roughly another 800 feet to the valley floor.

This is a plant called Old Man's Beard. It's growing on the fence in my backyard. During editing, I flipped the photo upside, turned the green plant blue, and made everything else black and white.

Der #Meermittwoch erinnert mich immer daran, warum man sich diesen täglichen Stress/Wahnsinn antut. 😅
Auf den nächsten Urlaub! 🍷

a bunch of my friends are choosing between PhD programs. here's my advise to them:

it is FAR more important to work with someone who is kind, than someone who does exactly the research you want to do or is at a prestigious institution.

A man named Bruno Schröder, was a mining engineer for most of his life. When passed away in his 80s in June 2022, he had around 60,000 or so books spread out on the 4 floors of his house in Mettingen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The books likely weigh about the same as 15 modern cars. 📚

Known as "The Negro National Anthem," Lift Every Voice and Sing was composed in 1900 by James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938), a leader of the NAACP. His brother John Rosamond Johnson (1873-1954) provided the musical arrangement for the words.

This day in history. 1846. Mormon leader Brigham Young led his followers into the west where a man was free to believe any bogus nutbaggery he so chose.

These sad yellow roses were about to be thrown out. Stop, I said. I can turn those into art 🤣https://anne-haile.pixels.com/featured/forgotten-yellow-roses-anne-haile.html #ayearforart

I’ve been away for a bit, but -25c with windchill of -41c is the sort of experience that needs sharing, along with a couple of photos I (very quickly) took outside while feeling the liquid in my nostrils start to freeze! 😳

I made this photo on a riverbank. I found some charcoal and started to draw faces on pebbles resulting in this black white image. #blackwhite #photography #nature #charcoal #faces #AYearForArt #pebbles #riverbank #contrast #funny

Mount Rainier from Naches Peak Loop. There's a great trail over here. The first time, we started off on a deer trail inadvertently and it took a while for the trail to disappear before we realized had started in the wrong spot. Ha. This area has been so crowded the last couple of times I've been -since the COVID crowds at the National Parks.

The value of peace! May it be a peaceful day to all! I captured this at the lake with my macro lens instead of always pulling out the wide angle. Enjoy!

A beautiful female northern cardinal foraging in the leaves.

I don't often get sharp photos of the female so I'm very happy with how this turned out.
