Fall scenes in the Hudson Valley/Catskills. #Stunday #Landscape #Photography #ECK.
Morning view on the River to Ridge Trail. The trail cuts down the middle of the photo and arcs to the right there are trees on the left and the grass has an orange/ocher Hugh. There are streaky clouds in the sky and you can see the early morning sun.Walking on the Ashokan RT. The trail cuts down the right side of the image on the left side of the trail is a stone wall. There is a wooden split rail fence on the right on the other side of the stone wall is the reservoir you can see on the horizon trees, turning colors in the background you can see overlook mountain.

Harvested 🌕🩸 Four photos layered together #SelfPortrait #Selfie
Photos in order of layer from the bottom - 
1. photo of me in my backyard with my back to the camera I think I took it with my laptop
2. photo of a neon cross at night taken from a train
3. photo of a the interior of an old red elevator, the type that has an accordion style door
4. photo of the moon from last October 

I really wanted to take a Halloween type photo of myself in the elevator with the door shut but it was busy/in use.

#ForestFriday #Scape This morning's hike in San Luis Obispo. Don't take this trail if you're afraid of heights. 😁 #ECK #Hiking #LandscapePhotography #Photography #WestCoastKin
A shady, very narrow trail cuts into the steep side of Cerro San Luis mountain. Rocks line the downward slope side, other rocks are in the middle of the trail, and finally, some are above the trail. There are some shrubs and other vegetation illuminated by the sun growing on the mountainside. Below are the city of San Luis Obispo, morning fog burning off, and more mountains in the far distance. The sky is blue.

#PalaceAndGardens #ItsAJungleOutThere From my hike yesterday...fallen oak trees filling a mountainside gorge. Color version. BW to follow. #ECK #ForestFriday #Scape #Hiking #OakTrees #WestCoastKin #Photography
A tangled "jungle" of fallen, twisted oak trees in a deep mountain gorge on Cerro San Luis mountain in San Luis Obispo. The oak trunks and branches have bleached to a lighter shade of grey, while around it are green vegetation and vines. In the foreground are dry, withering poison oak, bare branches and dead leaves.

Rocky Mountain Magpie This Eurasian magpie was far from home in Rocky Mountain National Park. #BirdOfTheDay #EFG #ColorADay #BlueTue #birds #EastCoastKin #RockinTues #ECK #PhotographersUnited
A Eurasian magpie standing in snow in the parking lot of an overlook with the snow-covered Rocky Mountains in the background. It looks like it's posing for the camera. The bird has a black head, breast, beak, eyes, wings, and legs with a white belly. It's facing the camera with its head turned a little bit to the left and up. It looks very proud. There's a pine tree on the left. There's a thick blanket of white clouds above the mountains with a little bit of blue sky in the top right corner.

Good morning my friends, I hope that you all find something wonderful in your day! I encountered this Gray treefrog in my garden, I think he is quite wonderful! They change color from gray to green or brown to blend in with the surroundings, nature is amazing 😊! #frogs #naturephotography

#BlueskyArtShow #Lights Light exhibit at Sensorio in Paso Robles, California. The hills are covered with thousands of solar-powered lights that shift in colors. sensoriopaso.com #ECK #PasoRobles #WestCoastKin #Sensorio #LightExhibition
It is just after dusk and the thousands of colored lights are illuminated. They cover the rolling hills with many different colors, giving the effect of patches of glowing wildflowers. The golfball sized lights are on a stem, so if it is breezy, they will sway with the breeze. They are placed close together to maximize the color and effect. Not seen at night are the scattered small solar panels placed throughout the exhibit. There are paths through the light, so visitors can walk through the fields. Sensorio has added other light exhibits as well, but this is my favorite. Located in Paso Robles, California as a permanent display.
