I took hundreds or more likely thousands of these types of shots on La Cumbre Peak in 2025. There were some strong contenders with more color but I love how many hills popped up that I don't normally see...so this is probably my favorite foothills shot of the year! #Photography #SantaBarbara #Sunset

David Attenborough [whispering]: “Like a grain of sand in a vast desert, the predator blends seamlessly into its environment, nearly imperceptible to the naked eye.”

this is the greatest feeling, when the cord box proves its utility to a family member

The joy one feels whilst eating the penultimate pancake, knowing that there is yet another to come, is balanced in equal measure by the despair at the realization that there is but one more remaining.

I’ve posted this before but the light was perfect today- a little Victorian cat paw in a brick at the front of the old Norfolk & Norwich Hospital. As this is on the front-facing corner of the main gates, the bricklayer quite clearly put it there on purpose, at a height where children would spot it.
