Just Rest There For a While

Last night I woke at 3:45 and just caught the last of the blood moon eclipse but I wasn't able to take any photos. The moon looked quite pink, unlike the one here.

I took this image during my participation in the #GooglePlus Mentorship Program for Photographers led by Robin Griggs Wood. What a great experience that was! This was my comment about the photograph and the mentorship then:
"Like this moon ...I feel that I have been told "just rest here for a few minutes, and look around you. We are all here to support and help you define yourself."
(Sigh.)

This is also my favourite tree which I featured recently.

I hope you have a great Friday, all my Pixl- and Fedi-friends.

An evening scene looking through some bare gnarled branches that cross the image from left to right in the image. There are two main branches with smaller branchlets going every which way. It is the blue hour and beyond these branches is an evening blue sky with some light clouds tinged with pink. There is a small full moon that seems to be resting on the lowest branch about at the centre of the image. The bottom of the frame has tops of large bare trees in the distance.

For followers with boosts turned off, a quick reminder.
I post most of my photographs on my Pixelfed account here: @EllieK@pxlfd.ca
I then boost them on here.
So if you aren't following and want to see them, please follow my Pixelfed account!
Cheers!
The bio reads:
"I have described myself as being about words and pictures, so this account will be more for the pictures side of things.
In the past I have photographed landscapes, mostly of Nova Scotia where I live. I have also undertaken a 'flower a day' project on my website, using a vintage lens (helios-44), specifically to bring some cheer into the early days of the pandemic. Now there will be many of cats, too, mostly taken in my phone.
I hope you enjoy my photographs."

Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, Maine

This nearly 200 year old lighthouse in Maine sits atop one of the most beautifully striated rock formations I have ever seen. The seams of different coloured layers running up from the shore to the building could have kept me there photographing all day. This day, the fog of the morning had lifted giving beautiful sunshine, it had rained in the night and the pool was full, giving me the chance to get this reflection. My friend Mac (whose wife, Carol took me on my sightseeing tour) had specially requested a photo with the lighthouse reflected in the pool – an iconic shot, I’m sure, taken by every visitor to the site.

The perspective is looking up a steep, striated rock towards a white lighthouse. The rock has a pool of rainwater in the middle with the lighthouse reflected in it. There is natural, solid rock formation to the right of the frame. The sky is a deep blue and there are a few evergreen trees and a small red building to the left of the frame with some people in front of it.

Old Cape Spear Lighthouse, Newfoundland

We didn't have a car on our only trip to NFLD, but we did manage to get in a bit of sightseeing thanks to a student of Steven's. My father's family came from a tiny community, Greenspond, but I didn't manage to get there to see it. Newfoundlanders are such hospitable, kind people, as I think many people found when 9/11 happened and US planes were forced to land in Gander airport for safety. The locals looked after everyone who arrived, welcoming everyone as if they were family.

The left of the scene is the ocean with a sky partly dark and light cloud, partly blue. There are brown rock cliffs stretching into the distance, meeting the ocean with the waves forming a white, foamy edge to the water. The top of the cliff is worn, rounded rock, with some brown vegetation flattened against it, perhaps by bad weather and high waves. Perched on top of the cliff is a round white lighthouse with a red and white striped roof of the actual light section. There is a low, white fence around it, set back a bit from the edge, to stop anyone from falling over.

Window in the Sky -
This shadow is from my favourite tree, currently sheltering a fox (I think) but it has housed a family of raccoons in the past. It always seems on its last legs and is almost completely hollow, but still keeps standing there.

Sometimes you can spend a lot of time driving around the area looking for good vantage points from which to capture just the right image. Sometimes you just need to look in your own back yard.

Evergreen trees are on either side of this image, as if framing the scene of a bank of clouds, a bit of blue sky, then more cloud shapes as they reach the horizon. The foreground has a powdery covering of snow, with a strong shadow of stark tree branches from the tree to the left of the frame. You can only just see a few of the twisted twigs and branches from the tree at top left of the frame.

Halifax
One night, as we were driving home from Halifax and we turned up South Street, we thought there was a fire at the end of the road. The whole sky was dark except for the blazing red, with what looked like smoke pouring across it. It was quite scary and very dramatic.
In fact it was the sunset, with steam from the hospital chimneys drifting across the sky. I took this photograph through the car window and, amazingly, it does show some of the drama we saw.
I meant to post this yesterday but got distracted:
This actually suits my mood today as I managed to overcome a huge problem with banking bureaucracy in spite of the intricacies of their security systems and constant brick walls put in my way. Actually I still don't know how I did it, so don't ask. But as this has been hanging over me since Saturday, the relief is almost overwhelming.

A darkened city street with blazing red at the end of it, looking like fire. Steam, looking like smoke is drifting across, making it look as if the buildings are on fire. There are some vehicles driving down the street, with white headlights and red tail lights and some vehicles are parked on the sides of the street.

That horrible sound when a bird hits the window. Hard! 😥😮

A hairy woodpecker.

And it's lying on the ground, and you think it's dead, then see its eye is partly open and not dead.

So you line a box with a towel and gently lie him in it in the sun and after 20 minutes you see him stand up in the box, look around then take off saying all kinds of noisy things to you! (Maybe he was saying thank you? A lot of noise anyway) and he landed in the tree, seems to be normal again.

That feels so good!
