Photo of The Day - May 2023

mollyc · May 1, 2023

Welcome to Photo of the Day. The POTD thread was started by iGary in May, 2006 and converted to a monthly thread in November 2007 by Arn. POTD is one of the most popular picture groups on MacRumors, often exceeding 500 posts and 20,000 views per month.
Photo of the Day is intended to be a showcase for your best pictures. There is no limit to your gear, just your imagination. P&S and film cameras are welcome along with DSLRs. There are no themes like the Weekly Contest, and no winners (or losers) either.
POTD Thread Policies

One Photo per Day - Don't post more than one photo each day. Diptychs, triptychs, etc. are OK.
All photos should be your own work unless special circumstances have been agreed.
Multi-Quote - To comment on several photos, click the "+ (Multi-Quote) button. This puts all your comments in one post. Multi-Quoting is required on all of the MacRumors forums.
Safe for Work (SFW) only - This is a site-wide rule. If you wouldn't show it in a public place, then it's NSFW (not safe for work). Think before you post.
Describe your photo - Tell what it is and where you took it. If you know the EXIF data of a photo, include it. The following EXIF fields are recommended: Camera, ISO, Focal Length, Shutter/Aperture and Lens.
Note: Anyone may start the Photo of the Day thread on the first of the month GMT. Please copy a quote of this post to maintain all the formatting.
Please don't alter or expand these policies - If you think they need improvement, use a separate thread to discuss.

☀️ From the sun-kissed hills of the Treasure State,
From her plains and valleys, too;
From her forests of pines and waving wheat fields
Come heartiest greetings to you.

May your day be as bright as her sapphire skies-
Your Joys as pure os her snow-blown air;
Your peace the peace of her star-gemmed nights,
Your hearts as her songbirds, free from care.

The ground beneath my feet rumbles.
Softly at first, and then with each step
increasing in its timbre 🪵
by the intensity of a river plummeting
over slick rock lips;
a roiling, massive death spiral. 🏞️

💦 Snoqualmie Falls. City of Snoqualmie, Snoqualmie, Washington 🌲. Part III/V

.. enjoyed a walkabout of the local elementary school grounds early yesterday morning -- lovely clear and bright morning, colourful new cherry tree blossums, and other views -- was happy to get the opportunity, cannot do this on a school day -- a view out back.

Our ash trees are starting to produce leaves, finally, while elms on the street are a bit ahead. Still plenty of snow on the mountain and temps into the lower-80s. Weather says we are under a “Hydrologic Outlook” warning, meaning rapid snowmelt might cause flooding. Never seen that warning before.
