The Stairs - 2
+Elizabeth Kearvell I was looking back through old posts tonight Elizabeth and discovered very sadly that Roger Agnes had passed away a year or so ago. We had a good many chat and shared a love of flowers and westies. It's a terrible thing that the work of so many people is being simply deleted soon.

Cave Creek Nepean (Woodhouse Canyon)
For fun. Woodhouse Creek enters a deep canyon through the long cave seen in this picture. A long exposure picks out color detail on the walls, including greenery where sun penetrates. This can become a raging torrent after rain in the catchment above.

#EU leaders agreed to postpone #Brexit day, imposing two new dates - April 12 and May 22 - that will determine the course of the #UK's departure. Leaders devised the new plan at a summit in Brussels on Thursday (Mar 21) after quickly rejecting U.K. Prime Minister #TheresaMay's request for an extension of the #Article50 negotiating period to June 30.
Both new dates in the EU plan come with conditions, but in either event the original March 29 deadline - the so-called cliff-edge by which #Britain would leave the bloc with or without a divorce agreement - was put off, if only for 2 weeks. #EU27 leaders said that if the U.K. parliament ratifies the #Brexitdeal before the March 29 deadline, Britain will have until May 22 to complete any technical steps, exit and begin a transition period. That is a day before the #EuropeanParliament election begins.

The US unemployment rate is currently close to 4%, and the country has added jobs every month for a record 101 months in a row. Wage growth, which has lagged behind jobs growth since the recession, is finally, if slowly, picking up. US #GDP - the widest measure of economic health - is now about 3.4%, up from 1.8% in the first quarter of #Trump’s presidency. Trump says he’s truly Making America Great Again.
Republicans suffered a major defeat in the #midtermelections despite a strong economy. But midterms are often seen as a protest vote. When it comes to the general election - if the #economy continues on its current course - the Yale economist Ray Fair, Moody’s chief economist, Mark Zandi, and Luskin all believe Trump would win. Unless he is in prison.

Trump looks good for 2020, experts say, because 'economy is so damn strong'

With spring well on its way, I thought I'd share with y'all this cozy transitional look. Layers are vital this time of year, but we can still start incorporating a few lighter colors that are fitting for the season! http://www.fallingforautumn.com/2019/03/springtime-scarf.html

Fall of Giants Wadbilliga National Park
Celebration: countdown 5
A giant once stole three girls swimming in a pool at the top of these falls. One of the girls called all the birds in the sky to help free them, and a multitude of birds came and threw the giant's head to the ground. The giant's head may still be seen at the foot of these falls. Look closely, and you will see the tears falling from his eye.
The Giant was not alone. Look and see the other giants all around us. When they torment, remember the birds. Turn to the sky and call them with all your breath.
This is the Tuross River at the Wadbilliga near the sunken forests of the Duea. It drops about 200m (600') and is one of the most remote falls safely accessible to bushwalkers.
Image: I have processed a slightly wider image (for printing as one of the images in a 'brutal art' exhibition). This is a wider angle version. I chose a soft 'ink and watercolor' approach to pick out each of the rocks in the scene (working with a black and white image before washing color back into the image).
Celebrate: Thank you. To celebrate what we all achieved on G+, i am publishing the 50 most viewed posts in this collection (with 450m views) until shutdown. This is a reprocessed scene of this fall (5th most viewed).
#CelebrateCountdown (please feel free to use this hashtag to celebrate your own favorite posts)
This platform has been great for photographers and writers. For more Australian photography, please check out my friend +Chris Sutton. Or check the b&w of
+madelene jeffery, the Scottish rambles of +shonie Hutter or the adventures of +Monique Helfrich.

So This is Making America Great Again?
Check out which bases in foreign countries are being considered for school and child care cuts. Then look at the Alaskan air base with no room for a school with 240 children additional. These are political targets. In Arizona McSally reports there should not be any such cuts. But we know who she’s a big fan of.
Trump's border wall money may come at expense of schools for military kids

A woodland walk in spring
Today is the spring equinox and while I haven't been able to photograph as much over the past few weeks as I would have liked, the days are getting longer and warmer.
Time again to venture on an epic photography tour in Ireland.
