A rock path climbs a small hill to a destination that cannot be seen. Green foliage and trees can be seen on either side with larger trees in the background. Take the paths, take the chances.

"If the path be beautiful, let us not ask where it leads."

Monday's Magnificent Start. This morning in Northerly Island, Chicago.

Moraine Lake, Banff

Goodnight Everyone 🌛✨💫 Sweet Dreams 🫶

Blue hour at the causeway to St. Marys Lighthouse in the UK

Twilight whispers on the sea.
Waves retreat so silently.
The lighthouse stands, a ghost in white.
Guarding dreams from the fading light.

Sky in blush of dusk’s desire.
Water catching hints of fire.
In this hush, the world turns slow.
Blue hour’s breath begins to glow.

Photo by Damian Siodłak. Two diverging paths wind through a golden autumn forest, their gravel surfaces lined with fallen leaves. Sunlight filters through the canopy of yellow and green, casting dappled patterns on the ground. The serene beauty of the scene invites reflection, symbolizing choice and the quiet passage of time amidst nature's seasonal splendor.

Let go of choice. Wander where the trees whisper.

👋😊 Have a Great Evening Everyone 🫶

Good morning sunshine souls☀️

Have a glorious day filled with light and laughter ✨

A glowing green ghost mushroom at the base of a dark tree in a misty forest. The bioluminescent fungi emits an eerie, soft light that contrasts with the deep blue and brown tones of the night woods. Fallen leaves scatter the forest floor, and a narrow muddy trail leads deeper into the shadowy trees under faint moonlight.

Ghost Mushroom – Dandenong Ranges National Park, VIC, Australia

I was fortunate enough to have moonlight lighting up the forest for this shot.

Standing at the bottom of a waterfall with water spraying up as it hits the rocks and a pool of water. The waterfall is bluish white and is surrounded by gray and black basalt rock. There is yellow and green lichen growing on the bottom of the basalt rock here and there, and an especially large yellow patch at the upper right corner.

Feeling the waterfall spray on a hot summer day!

Morning blue hour at St. Marys Lighthouse in the UK.

A lighthouse stands where the dusk tide weeps.
Embers blaze on the shore where silence keeps.
Clouds whisper secrets of flame and night,
Rocks cradle the sea’s sigh in fading light.
Hope flickers here unbowed by dark’s claim.
Guiding lost souls home again.

Good Morning Everyone 😊☕🌤️ Have a Wonderful Wednesday 🫶

Pre-dawn at St. Marys Lighthouse at Whitley Bay in the UK.

Golden tides whisper their secrets.
While stone and salt breathe deep.
Twilight drapes its velvet threads
Where shadows and daydreams sleep.

First light embraces Rio de Janeiro, a city cloaked in the gentle morning mist. City lights twinkle along the gentle arc of Ipanema beach. The sky hints at sunrise colours as iconic mountains peek through the ethereal fog.

First light over the Marvelous City

Fog rolling across the lake in the morning sun.

Waves on the rocks are relentless, never bowing and never giving in. They just keep right on fighting.

This is not the time to quit and back down.
Just stand your ground don’t break don’t bow.
The fire inside must blaze and burn.
Strength is earned now take your turn.
Rise like thunder fierce and true.
Let the storm and the fight awaken you.

A mountain top view of the blue ocean with gentle white capped waves rolling in onto a dark sandy beach. The beach is at the bottom of green foliage covered mountains and curves around towards the left with a view of another mountain in the background. Fluffy white and blue clouds fill the sky overhead.

The blues and greens of the southern Oregon coast!

Good morning.

Another view from the incredible Father's Day #sunrise I watched last weekend. Once the color in the sky faded the clousd on the ground began to gain some color.

A lone duck appears from the mist and graces the inlet as mist shrouds the surrounding trees.

When overthinking is not allowed 📷🕊️ ….

Good morning.
