poppies in the barley field 2020

As we aproached the lake, I heard some fellow hikers exclaim "It looks like they use food colouring here!" I thought: photo-op. I don't use any of the 'magical' settings on my camera, but this time I didn't have my glasses on. When I got back home and looked at the pic on my computer I thought "What the heck!" I must have inadvertantly moved the dial. Even though I almost deleted it, after a while this funky image kind of grew on me. Next time though, I will have my glasses on.

As you can probably tell I love these birds.

 

Thank you to all that take the time to comment and/or fav it is much appreciated.

As I stood and watched the mists

slowly rising this morning I

wondered what view was more

beautiful that this.

I drive by this river each morning. No matter the season, its beauty beckons me to stop and capture that day’s memory. You may recognize this river in one of my other images at a different time of the year.

 

The beautiful texture I used on this image is by Evelyn Flint entitled “Old Brown Paper”.

Stay safe

As the sun came up, the red sky disappeared and turned golden yellow.

As the seasons change, some low-lying clouds remind me that stormy days are ahead. But for now, I enjoy the September colors at the end of the day.

... as usual, happy this will feed the birds.

Nice in larger view .😊

As the light of the setting sun turned the grass around the heathland pool golden, the toads continued to make their amorous calls - which I'm certain would have continued well into the night. Spawning only just under-way, they had much to occupy their time ... ;-)

For Macro Mondays. Theme is Powder. HMM

As you can see, this multi-tenant birdhouse appears to need a bit of renovation work. I can understand how the wood could deteriorate due to age, but I am wondering how the metal railings could have gotten bent this way. The house is mounted at the top of a pole in a local park and is probably 12-15 feet off the ground.

As the weather turns warmer, the troop decided to do a seafood grill out on the water. Perhaps not surprising, I decided to tease Adi with my freshly caught lobsters. Andie, on the other hand, was well impressed by Pengu's wet slippery thing in his hands.

Pengy decided here to be the chef o'day - watching over the paella on the grill.

I could spend my whole life in this valley and still would never capture all the beauty. From Tunnel View as a winter storm releases its grip EL Cap comes into view #seetheworld #getoffthecouch

As the Vulture flew off folks so do the Hawk, but as I watched him go, all he did was feel safe enough to make a small circle and return to the same perch, just lucky I did not move and hung in there.

 

Thank you all.

As always, health and safety first!

 

Actually we were a solid 80% sure they were empty

... or geraniums as many of us call them. This was a hanging basket of mine ... I like the light and shadows in this photo. I'm not sure what the tiny bug is. I'm having a problem with one of my eyes that I had a cataract op on a few years ago, very blurry. I hope the photo is clear enough.

I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. Thank you for your visits and comments dear friends:-) xx

As I have posted flower photo yesterday and also last Friday~ I think it shouldn't post flower photo again today~~ as I don't want you guys get bored or run out of comment words for flower~~ :-P

 

Anyway, this photo was taken at the Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens on Adelaide Hills~~

 

Wish you my dear friends have a wonderful week!!!

It has always been my wish to photograph the secretive Sora head-on showing its laterally compressed body, which allows it to slip and weave easily through dense vegetation. However, seeing the Sora in the open is notoriously difficult.

 

I was justifiably excited when I spotted this Sora walking cautiously along the path. And when it turned and looked straight into the lens for a brief instant, the angle, light and position were just right, as seen in this picture. Luck!

 

I am glad that I was ready and took advantage of that opportunity.

Minimalist photography

 

is a form of photography that is distinguished by extreme, austere simplicity. It emphasizes spareness and focuses solely on the smallest number of objects in the composition process. Minimalist photographers usually focus solely on one particular subject, rather than an abundance of color, patterns and information. ( wikipedia )

 

I love learning new stuff in photography, and some techniques requires allot of time to learn and understand..... witch I have a hard time to do . This is minimal as can be ( I think)

"Free As A Bird"

 

Free as a bird

It's the next best thing to be

Free as a bird

 

Home, home and dry

Like a homing bird I'll fly

As a bird on wings

 

Whatever happened to

The life that we once knew?

Can we really live without each other?

 

Where did we lose the touch

That seemed to mean so much?

It always made me feel so...

 

Free as a bird

Like the next best thing to be

Free as a bird

 

Home, home and dry

Like a homing bird I'll fly

As a bird on wings

 

Whatever happened to

The life that we once knew?

Always made me feel so free

 

Ah...

Ah...

Ah...

 

Free as a bird

It's the next best thing to be

Free as a bird

Free as a bird

Free as a bird

Oooooo

 

Free...

 

[Turn out nice again, mother.]

And, as they say, here is the rest of the story. Again, I don't believe it's a real train station. But, it looks pretty good.

Yesterday, we had a major catastrophe in my little town. A truck ran off the road and knocked out an electrical pole around 10am. The whole town was without Internet, phones and TV until after 10pm. It was really sad because everyone here depends on the tourist coming here and spending money on the weekends. Sadly, no one carries cash. And since the ATM machine couldn't work either, no one could sell anything. Also, there was a fund raiser for my favorite restaurant that burned down. No one could access there money so they didn't raise as much as they had hoped. I went, and enjoyed listening to the music. I had to drive for a ways until I found a place where my phone would work and I could pay on line for my ticket. Crazy world we live in

"Port Moody has one of the few remaining large mudflats in Burrard Inlet. It is an environmentally sensitive area that is home to many nesting shoreline species such as purple martins, osprey, and great blue heron. The mudflats are home to a biodiverse community of fish, shellfish, and other significant tidal species that are sensitive to disturbance. The city’s trail system, including wooden boardwalks that wrap the head of the inlet, is designed so visitors can experience and enjoy the wildlife that live there, while staying off the mudflats. Residents and visitors can stay out of danger, and ensure this special place remains for future generations, by remaining on the designated trails and keeping dogs on a leash."

💟Description Image Ethereal Dreams:

 

This is a small tribute to the transition of what we often forget from our childhood, the warmth of those moments that we often forget, the details, the time that remains suspended in our thoughts, and how everything around us is changing and that without realizing it, we should also remember again what we have forgotten under those clouds.

As Neowise started to head for the horizon at about midnight, The Big Dipper took over in the dark sky above. This was taken with the Pitstone Windmill in Buckinghamshire, England in the foreground. The mill is owned by The National Trust and dates back to the 17th century. This gem in the Chiltern countryside is the oldest dated windmill in Britain.

... as the sultry summer's day, slips into the evening twilight, a storm rolls over the horizon, illuminated with the sunset's light ...

A flower bed in Antalya, full summer bloom!
