This is a dramatic black-and-white close-up photograph of a Maine Coon cat’s face. The cat is lying down and looking straight at the camera with a calm, slightly curious expression. Its large, almond-shaped eyes are wide open and catch the light, giving them a bright, reflective glow. The cat has the classic Maine Coon features: very long, thick fur with distinct dark tabby stripes running down the forehead and across the cheeks, prominent white tufts of fur inside the ears, and long, pointed ear tips with extra tufts of fur sticking out. Long, thin white whiskers fan out from its muzzle. One large, furry paw is resting in the foreground on a dark, soft surface, showing the thick pads and fluffy fur around it. The background is a smooth, gradient gray, keeping all attention on the cat’s expressive face. The overall mood is intimate and majestic, perfectly capturing the gentle giant personality of a Maine Coon.

Turning the calendar page today was harder than I expected. That last month held the final days of my dad’s life, and letting it go felt like I was moving farther away from him.

This photo, Solitude at Sunset, helps. That’s my dad in the silhouette. I took this years ago, after Mom had already been gone for a while, and gave it to him for Father’s Day. Somehow it feels like it’s come back to me now — a quiet reminder that love doesn’t disappear just because time keeps moving.

And the third thing is that I did it anyway. I turned the page, even though it hurt, choosing to carry him with me instead of leaving him behind.

Silhouette of a man standing alone on a rocky shoreline at sunset, looking out over calm water. The sky glows with deep orange, red, and gold clouds, reflected across the surface of the water. Bare tree branches frame the scene on the right, and a dark shoreline stretches across the horizon.

Today’s Small Moment:
In the midst of losing my dad—and my brother just four months ago—I’ve been overwhelmed by how deeply simple kindness can matter. Friends, extended family, and even people I’ve never met have been a quiet anchor in these hardest days.

Grief has also shown me who steps forward and who stays silent. That truth stings, but it’s grounding. It reminds me to lean toward the people whose compassion shines without being asked.

This photograph came from a morning when I rushed up the Blue Ridge Parkway, hoping to reach Pine Spur Overlook before sunrise (several years ago). I arrived later than I planned, yet the light that waited there still found me—quiet and steady, much like the support that has carried me through these days. It might sound corny and cliché, but it’s true.

A sunrise view from Pine Spur Overlook along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Soft orange and gold light breaks through a thick cloud bank on the horizon as the sun rises higher into the sky. The landscape below is dark and shadowed, with layers of clouds and blue-tinted ridges stretching into the distance. A quiet, peaceful early-morning scene captured just after the sun lifted above the clouds.

I had a chance to witness the Great Blue Herons elaborate courtship rituals at the Everett Marina in Washington state recently.
Although they don't mate for life, they form a close bond for a breeding season.
The male picks the nest site and attracts a female, e.g. with offering twigs, if she accepts them its a sure sign of success and they go on displaying other types of courtship rituals.
In this capture the male just returns to the chosen nest site and offers a twig, the partner will be arranging the nest after accepting it.
Fascinating to observe their coded behavior.

It’s right there, just over that hill….
#photography #nature

The sun coming out for a brief moment lighting up a dirt road through the woods. The grass beside the road is finally turning green. The trees are slowly following suit. The road goes downhill, then rises up over a crest in the distance. Where it goes from there is unknown.

A close up of a cluster of perhaps a dozen daffodils in full bloom. The daffodils have a classic appearance with bright yellow trumpet-shaped centers surrounded by six pale yellow petals. They sit prominently in the foreground, with their green leaves extending upwards from the ground.

In the background, there is a slightly blurred view of a grassy area with more daffodils scattered around. Beyond that, a lake, some buildings and bare trees are visible under a cloudy sky.

Spring sprang🌸 Seemingly overnight and despite dropping temperatures
#Photography #AltText #NYC

A close-up color photo taken directly upwards under a blooming tree. The branches all crisscross making almost a bit of a grid. There's a bit of sunlight coming through, otherwise it is covered in pink flowers and bits of newly sprouting green leaves

A color photo taken further away of the same tree. The pink tree is in the middle of the photo, which is in Union Square, Park. In the foreground is a very large cement planter with yellow daffodils coming out of it. On the right is some fencing and in the back some people can be seen walking into the center of the park. There are large trees behind the pink tree and they are all also beginning to sprout green leaves for the spring.

崎原桜通りのカンヒザクラ、今回初狙いで、今冬3通い目。まだ早いみたい。ほかの場所の開花と全然時期が違いめちゃくちゃ難しいですね。満開写真ではないですが投稿…

This was my first time visiting Kanhizakura on Sakibaru Sakura Street, and my third visit this winter. It seems like it's still early. The timing of the blooming is completely different from other places, so it's really difficult. I'm posting a photo that isn't in full bloom...

初、安念勝の滝。
道からドローンだけで進入。ドローン独自機能、複数枚撮影を合成する広角撮影。
道的になかなか何度も行けない所でした。

My first time at Anengachi Falls.
Accessed from the road using only a drone. A unique feature of the drone is the wide-angle shot, combining multiple shots.
Due to the road conditions, it's a place you can't often visit multiple times.

* HDR at Instagram.

Beauty In Simplicity

I love the simplicity of this small stone building on the Isle of Iona, Scotland. Not sure of its purpose but it's easy to find between the nunnery ruins and the village hall.
