Actually... I wanted to name this picture... "Sweeping the dust off my stream" :D:D:D:D But that didn't quite sound very caption-ish. :D:D:D:D

See you soon friends... at your sets... not mine. :D

Actually the county waterline runs down this road and hydrants are spaced at standard intervals. Henry County, Georgia

Actually this Owl was not displaying any defensive or aggressive behavior. It had just finished cleaning that foot and was about to place it back on the perch where it stayed very calmly as I walked around the tree. I thought this shot was the most fun of the series.

Northern Hawk Owls are few and far between around here this season. The only other one I have seen was on January 17.

Parkland County, Alberta.

Actually an Orb Weaver, Argiope...Top View!

I actually dont have any of he Monster high Boys, I once had Deuce but he was too sexy to stay (After I gave him a beautiful New hairdo)

So I was excited to actually LOVE this MH Boy! And I think Kohl was even more Excited then me, he very much Missed the Piggybacks he would get from Deuce :P

These are actually Ring-necked Parakeets aka Rose-ringed Parakeets (Psittacula krameri), though they are quite closely related to Lovebirds: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/50943147766/in/photolist

In Britain, breeding was first proved in 1971 in Kent though it was suspected a year or two prior to this. Despite rumours involving Jimi Hendrix and Humphrey Bogart, there is no evidence that either had anything to do with their introduction to Britain. Paul Dunham mentions below about mass escapes in the 1970s involving more than a thousand birds when they pecked their way out of wooden holding crates. The population increased ten fold in Britain between 1995 and 2010 and is now well-established in south-east England (centred on London) with a population around 12,000 pairs, but there are scattered breeding populations elsewhere. The English population is the most northerly breeding parrot species on the planet, and this breeding pair in South Yorkshire are currently one of the most northerly in Britain. Abroad they breed in both Asia and Africa, and biometrics suggest that British birds are from the larger Indian subspecies borealis, though this was not conclusive. The scientific name Psittacula krameri commemorates the Austrian naturalist Wilhelm Kramer. It was named by Johannes Scopoli in 1769, four years after Kramer's death and was originally known as Kramer's Parakeet.

I photographed this mating pair this morning near Barnsley. There were two pairs present and they were going in and out of holes in some dead trees. These are the first birds I have seen in Yorkshire.

actually glad with how smooth the barrel turned out :D

I actually was not going to post this photo. I just messed around with it. Then I kept looking at it and loved how it felt.

Any way, this was a quick portrait of one of my old friends.

I was actually in the New Forest photgraphing some Birds of Prey but I became somewhat distracted by the lovely Canada Geese Goslings. Judging by the fact that they couldn't stand up in the breeze very well and the state of their coats I would say they were extremely young.

The CIA just received this photo of what is to believed to be specter and his squad mates getting massacred by african militia. The CIA are not sure what will happen next with the militia if it actually is specter and his squad mates. There was talk that there was a fourth member but the CIA said there was no fourth member, but then a man in a wheel chair with cuts and bruises on face went to the CIA and said he was the fourth member but the CIA does not recall a fourth member. That is all the information the CIA know about the incident.

Taken on Valentine's Day. How fitting.

well, this one might still be moody....but the splashes are fun! :)

Taking advantage of the high wind and overcast skies today

Not actually 1924, the buildings would have been in a better condition, but 21/10/2024 and one of Wick's less loved streets, despite it being the main route away from the very nice Mackays Hotel. Union Street, very much part of Wick's 'conservation area' basically is rotting away slowly. There are a couple of thriving businesses on the street and some residential properties, but this particular row of terraced housing just adds to the feeling of desolation in the area.

This was actually the last shot of the day, and the best of this red dragonfly. I had finally just sat down in the sun, on the bank of the pond. It was hot and humid, and sweat was running in my eyes. I started to talk to him, as he kept flitting by me. "Come on dude, give me a little break here; I'm not gonna hurtcha."

I need to work on my dragonfly whispering, moreover, I need a better lens for these shots. This is heavily cropped and slightly sharpened, but I'm still really proud of the capture especially of the color. They seriously glow like a reflector as they fly through the sunlight! They're like a tiny flourescent highway cone as they buzz by you. This is a bit more subtle due to that grass shadow on the tail. I like the deep color of the eyes and the little lights on the wings. Not a "Great" shot, but I'm out there, and I'm trying, and any decent dragonfly shot is a thrill for me. Thanks for viewing! =o) ***All rights to my images are STRICTLY reserved.

Well actually on this picture she was 10,5 weeks old.

the niece of my bf is a photographer and she thought it was fun to do a photoshoot with Laikha. so we were extreemly happy that she wanted to do this for us. and we LOVE the pictures... this is 1 of the 60 lol it looks like a picture for a dog food commercial or something haha Im in aweeee ♥♥♥

(Actually the back part of the theater is the one that lies on Avenida 9 de Julio)

The Colon Theater of Buenos Aires is one of the most important opera houses of the world. Its rich and prestigious track record and the exceptional acoustic and architectural features of its building place it at the level of theaters such as La Scala in Milan, the Paris Opera, the Vienna State Opera, London's Covent Garden and the Metropolitan NY.

In its first headquarters, the Teatro Colón functioned from 1857 to 1888, the year it was closed for the construction of a new room. It was inaugurated on May 25, 1908 with a function of Aida.

Famous musicians that performed in this theater are Richard Strauss, Igor Stravinsky, Paul Hindemith, Camille Saint-Saëns, Manuel de Falla, Arturo Toscanini, Herbert von Karajan, Leonard Bernstein, Zubin Mehta, Enrico Caruso, Alfredo Kraus, Plácido Domingo, José Carreras, Luciano Pavarotti, Lily Pons, Maria Callas, Anna Pavlova, Rudolf Nureyev, Margot Fonteyn, Julio Bocca, Paco De Lucía, Itzhak Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma, among many others.

No cropping on this one.....straight from the camera......just didn't think it was necessary...........I'm used to getting much closer to a drop...........but liked the depth and effect of this one.

Actually, this fire was in 2011. While fire is scary to humans and the things we build, it leaves beauty in it's wake.

Oh look! I actually have something to upload again!

This is the first of my photos from Brooke Shadens London workshop the other day. I had an amazing time and got so many new shots that I'll be editing and uploading over the next week or so.

This particular shot was taken in a chapel where part of Les Miserables was filmed, and since it's fast become one of my favourite films that was definitely an amazing experience!

I'll be uploading more from this day very soon and I've also made a speed edit video that'll be online shortly :)

Actually this man is not being lazy, he has to have enough rest to continue riding. Falling to sleep riding a bike can be fatal. I caught this "biker"/ "kapcai" taking a nap underneath some shades at the Padang Kota promenade - enjoying the balmy sea breeze.

Actually car number 18 but that wouldn't be such a cool title.

Let's add a little vividness to my photostream shall we? Actually, I'm just trying to catch up on posting pictures from the last Mixr I was at in December.

Actually, none at all. A rusty gauge at the Steel Stacks, Bethlehem, PA.

Actually at the lake and getting closer to sunset here. I really feel that I should have set my tripod up a little higher for this photo, but I still like how the composition shows the rocks building in to the sweeping shoreline.

The next photo I'll be uploading is my favorite of the night, so keep watching my stream!

Thanks to everyone who recommended tripod legs to me in the comments of my last photo. I get my new ballhead tomorrow, which will have to sit and taunt me until the legs arrive on Monday.

Actually, Mr. 217 was with a partner. When the couple enjoyed walking around snow field, another couple flew from nowhere. These two couples looked friendly. I was surprised because I heard that Red-crowned cranes defend pair's territory. Does the instinct occur only in breeding season?

I actually managed to get a few good shots of Dean today. This is my favorite though because of the nice reflection in the window. He is usually not still enough to take photos of but the bird outside had him captivated.

I actually didn't press the shutter button, so I guess this isn't my potd, but isn't it pretty? We were driving down the highway, and I had guessed that this scene was coming up, so my son & passenger took it for me. Turned out nice!

I actually remember eating the leaves from our garden when I was a kid! They tested a bit spicy!

Lastours (Occitan: Las Tors) is a commune in the Aude department in southern France. Population in 2008, 165.

Lastours is located 12 km (7.5 mi) outside Carcassonne, in the valley of the Orbiel. There are four small castles each built on a large 300 m high rocky ridge. The castles were built to control the access to Montagne Noire and the Cabardes region. These are some of the few original Cathar castles left.

Yes... actually, there is joy in running. Everyone is all smiles heading INTO the Lincoln Tunnel! Sometimes the joy of running is in raising money for a good cause, in this case, Special Olympics NJ.

Photo from last Sunday's Lincoln Tunnel Challenge 5K

Thank you all so much for your comments & faves.

Actually inside a glacier at Jungfraujoch. How cool is that? (Pun intended)

Actually, no. I don't have THAT sweet a tooth! I was in Carluccio's in Brighton, buying some Italian coffee, when I spotted these humongous meringues. I didn't think 'Yum', but I did think 'Photo opportunity'. :))

Actually the head is smaller and the legs look longer than they in the photo.

I'm thinking to buy a new camera.

Actually a plane with it's landing lights flashing

After setting the pole up for this shot at Asgarby earlier today, I decided to retract the equipment and have a look down the line as the loco was taking longer than Id expected to get here. Low and behold no sooner had I got onto the crossing the barriers went down on Burton Road and 56090 screamed into view.

After whipping the pole back up to about 3 metres I realised my lens was set at quite a wide angle. However, being out of time I pressed the shutter and got this result. Apart from having to remove the crossing sign in the corner of the frame Im actually quite pleased with the end product and the wide angle finish gives a slightly different perspective to what I would normally go for

...actually, already much too dark to take a picture...

Err...actually the Ruskies are leaving. A pair of Soviet T-72 battle tanks long stored at Fort Wainwright Alaska are secured on an Alaska Railroad flat car and ready for shipment south to Seattle. Their destination beyond Seattle was unknown (that's as far as they were waybilled) and I'm not sure where they ultimately ended up. At the time I was told that these were Cold War-era main battle tanks that the Soviet Union built and exported en masse. The US came into possession of lots of them after Gulf War "Round 1" (Desert Storm). Obviously, they were studied pretty heavily before being retired to "petting zoos" at various bases around the country, where US Military Personnel could get up close and personal with the equipment of potential adversaries.

ARR GP38-2 2008 can be seen in the background toward the south.

, i actually changed the color a bit, and slightly air brushed my face marks and lines, (vain i know..) i am afraid of how pale (esp. for a black guy) my skin is to my face so i tried to even the tones a bit..much respect

actually her mom's idea. i went along with it :) my first tea party.

Actually Cobar isn't a hole. This is one of of the gold mines around Cobar and it's an impressive hole; difficult to get a true sense of the scale here.

Taken from the information board at the site:

The pit you are looking at today started out as a small opencut mine in the late 1890s.

Within the space of two years (2001-2002), using modern equipment, the pit was extended to 150m deep, 200m wide and 380m long, considered in today's standard as a medium-sized opencut.

A total of 3.6 million tonnes of waste rock was removed and stockpiled on the western flank of the Fort Bourke Hill.

I wonder if the hole will be filled with the stockpiled rock when the mine is exhausted?

Interesting to see the tunnels on the face in the top right following the vertical seam.

Panorama. Six photo stitch.

Actually, there was a lot of sunshine in the Dubai Miracle Garden which we visited last January.
