As I climbed the last mountain, Lake Shasta Reservoir way down the valley to my left, I caught a glimpse of a waterfall to my right, set back in the woods. I pulled off the road a hundred yards later, and decided I'd go take a look even though it was lightly raining. This small set of waterfalls was about 75 feet back from the road. I'm sure it's dry in the summer, but California has had so much rain, even the reservoir is completely full after years of drought. Anyway, kinda surprised I saw this from the road, trees have it almost completely concealed.
As seen from my hotel room at that time. The BMW Vierzylinder (= "four cylinders) is BMW's corporate HQ.

As promised, the breeding male Pin-tailed Whydah. Native to Africa, this Southern California exotic is a small songbird, but he sure makes up for his size with those foot-long tail feathers. Of the several I have seen over the last few years, this is one of my cleaner images. They actually do a really cool mid-air dance for the girls - still waiting for that shot.

Einige fragen oft was die Reifen an dem Grubber sollen, damit wird der Bodengepackt er wird angedrückt.
Der HORSCH Tiger AS eignet sich von der flachen Bodenbearbeitung bis hin zur tiefen Lockerung auf 35 cm Tiefe. Er bricht Pflugsohlen auf und mischt gleichzeitig organische Masse zuverlässig über den gesamten Bearbeitungshorizont ein
Intensive mischende Bodenbearbeitung und eine tiefe Lockerung auf bis zu 35 cm - dafür steht der HORSCH Tiger AS. Durch die homogene Einmischung der Ernte- oder Zwischenfruchtrückstände über den gesamten Bearbeitungshorizont werden optimale Bedingungen für die Folgekultur geschaffen. Durch den bekannten TerraGrip Zinken mit bis zu 550 kg Auslösekraft und einer maximalen Ausfederhöhe von 30 cm kann der Tiger auf nahezu allen Standorten eingesetzt werden. In Kombination mit den bekannten Scharen und Flügelvarianten von HORSCH können Bearbeitungstiefen von 3 bis 35 cm realisiert werden. In Verbindung mit dem TerraCut Schar kann der Tiger AS sogar für einen ganzflächigen, flachen Schnitt auf 3 - 5 cm Bearbeitungstiefe genutzt werden. Durch seine enorme Rahmenhöhe von 85 cm und dem großzügig dimensionierten Zinkenabstand von 92 cm sind auch größere Mengen an Ernterückständen kein Problem. Durch die sehr gute Einmischung wird die Rotte beschleunigt und Störschichten für die Folgekultur vermieden. Im Nachgang zum Zinkenfeld sorgt das 1-reihige Scheibensystem für eine optimale Einebnung vor dem Packer. Je nach Bodenbedingungen kann man aus einem breiten Angebot an Packer wählen. Es sind sowohl Reifenpacker als auch Standardpacker wählbar. Bei den Modellen mit Reifenpacker findet der Straßentransport direkt auf dem Reifenpacker statt. Bei den Varianten mit Standardpacker verfügt der Tiger über ein sogenanntes Revolverfahrwerk. Dabei wird der Packer mit dem Fahrwerk für den Straßentransport verschwenkt. Somit ist ein komfortabler Transport auf der Straße sichergestellt. Je nach Kundenwunsch kann der Tiger AS dann noch mit den verschiedensten Zusatzausrüstungen kombiniert werden. Unter anderem mit der bekannten MiniDrill für die Aussaat von Zwischenfrüchten oder mit einem Düngerverteilerturm zur Ausbringung von Düngern oder anderen Materialien. Der Tiger AS ist somit die ideale Maschine für alle, die sowohl sehr flach als auch sehr tief bis zu 35 cm Tiefe arbeiten und zusätzlich noch die verschiedensten Aufgaben mit erfüllen kann.

As Cleo has arthrosis she has to take two pills every day. Cleo and I have reached an agreement: she allows me to put the pills directly into her mouth without shredding my fingers and in return she gets some treats. This generally works very well but it only works with me. When my sister had to give her the pills once several adhesive bandages were required afterwards.
as our country erupts around more (heartbreaking, painful) racial injustice, my heart aches. while fully aware of the horrors in this world, i turn again and again to nature. i dig in the dirt, plant seeds, and notice beauty. i watch light, as it always accompanies even the deepest darkness. this flower reminds me to shine, to blossom, and to love, love, love.
As I look back on this picture, I remember a sense of awe and just taking everything in. I had only set foot on the beautiful African coast a week before and I was taking a stroll along the beach around 4:00 p.m. in the afternoon while my wife to be was at work. The Mediterranean is such a unique and beautiful place. It was unlike anything I had ever seen before. The water so clear, a color unlike anything I had seen in the United States before, and a fierceness you could sense as soon as you were near it. You had respect for its beauty. You could sit all day and enjoy it, yet you had to respect it because you knew how powerful the sea was. This is only a glimpse of the beauty of the One who made it and an even smaller glimpse of the respect and awe I have for the One who made it!

The Nabegataki waterfalls in Kumamoto prefecture, in Southern Japan. With plenty of rainfall as of late, the falls were even more impressive than usually. There were only few tourists around, which made taking pictures easier.
最近、雨が多いですから、熊本県の鍋ヶ滝の勢いは通常よりもありました。訪ねた日には、観光客はわりと少なくて、撮りやすかったです。
"As if 2020 isn’t weird enough, it’s a year with 13 full moons rather than 12 — and two of these will occur in October.
October’s first full moon is the harvest moon on October 1, and the second full moon will occur on October 31. [...].
The full harvest moon will rise at 5:05 pm ET on October 1. The name is given to the full moon that occurs closest to the autumnal equinox. While this full moon usually occurs in September, a full moon on September 2 was too early to be known as the harvest moon. [...].
The full harvest moon provides light for farmers harvesting their crops into the night, according to the Farmer’s Almanac.
The moon will appear full for about three days, according to NASA. [...]." kslnewsradio.com/1934363/full-moons-in-october-harvest-mo...
PS I am happy with this shot as US wildfire smoke is again creating hazy skies over Vancouver.
Wow, 100 music pictures. What started as a little bet between friends a year ago now is one of my favorite past times. And Who knew a cynical old bat like me likes so many songs? And there are still more to come, I haven't barely touched my most favorite artists. But this spot on my list was always reserved for exactly this song!
This is my all time favorite. A simple melody, direct and from the heart lyric that describe perfectly what love is for me. Thank you John Denver for making me dream and hope and keep smiling. You had the heart of a true poet and we miss you.
Special thanks to Tatusia for enduring my fiddling with lights and camera angles with such patience ❤
And thank you all who like this series and encourage me to do more. It gives me so much joy and motivation 💋
You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again
Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Come let me love you
Come love me again
You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again
Taken yesterday as we were about to return home from our 3 days at the seaside most local to us - after a full english breakfast at the beach cafe off course. I had hoped to catch up a little last night but events caught up with us so I couldn't - and today more stuff happening plus we fetch Leo from school too today. Comments are still turned off till I can peruse your wonderful inspirational photography. I checked my settings and comments are definitely set to off but thank you to those people who accidently circumvented it for your kindness in leaving those lovely comments....the weather was kind and the break was all the nicer for that but off course the news was and still is bad but words of optimism were spoken today so I hope things continue in that vein...Sue x
For personal reasons re a friend of mine ( not a Flickr member ) I shall be off Flickr a while, hopefully not too long if things go well with my friend who is awaiting a life saving operation in the very near future…Sue x
As the days grow shorter and cooler the deciduous tree leaves take on the pretty warm hues. Some years we are blessed with more color then others, due to the environmental conditions. This year we are blessed!
Note; Added a filter to create a slight painterly effect.
As soo as he saw me he started yelling, and all I could make out is Hey Everyone Watch That Guy Across The Street With That Big Thing Pointed At Us.
Thanks for everything.
Finding a thin layer of ice atop my dog's water bowl, I was able to capture the frozen terrain. Here's to more icy creations!
as small as a world
and as large as alone
for whatever we lose
(like a you or a me)
its always our selves
we find in the sea...

from a distance, i can still see you...
As we hurtle towards the end of term I thought that it was timely to remind everyone that I do, in fact, live in Phuket rather than all the other far flung places that I've been showing you pictures of. This reservoir is a regular haunt for me as I both hike and cycle there regularly. This was a rare sunny day in the midst of the rainy season
Also known as the snake bird or water turkey, the anhinga is a year-round resident of Florida. It is also found from coastal sections of South Carolina westward to Texas and Mexico, and even south to Argentina.
Like cormorants, anhingas do not have oil glands for waterproofing their feathers and the feathers get wet when they are swimming.
You can often spot the anhinga perched on a branch with wings outstretched, drying feathers. They feed on small fish, shrimp, amphibians, crayfish and young alligators and snakes. The fact that their feathers are less water resistant than other birds helps them to swim underwater, where they often spear fish with their long neck and sharp beak. They surface in order to flip their catch into their mouth for consumption.
Mating generally occurs in February with egg-laying occurring throughout the spring and early summer. Nests are built in shoreline trees 15 to 20 feet high.
I found this one along Peavine Road in Osceola County, Florida.
As of the afternoon of 4/19. I couldn't see any sign of eggs or chicks yet.

As I was going through last years photos, there are a lot of them I would still like to share.
This one was in the close proximity to Bryce Canyon.

As all of the pictures I've taken in Lappland and posted here in the last few days this one is also an exposure bracket taken free hand without a tripod. This picture is a combination of two RAW photos.
Taken with the point and shoot Sony RX100 camera.
I've printed this in A3 and it looks wonderful!
So, do we need a tripod all the time and a medium format camera as some YouTube guys suggest?

As the night winds sing and temperature starts to drop, many hydrangeas have changed colour. This one is one of the few Endless Summer Hydrangeas which manage to keep their beautiful pink, among others with shades of mauve and blue. My gardener said it was because I have not spread my coffee grounds out evenly and therefore the soil varies in pH levels. Suits me very well.
Sitting on a catamaran watching the sun go down below the horizon like a big red ball. The cloudy sky added to the drama.
As the name suggests, the Marsh Harrier lives in wetland habitats. They are a success story now after being extinct in Britain in the 19th Century. Since the first pairs bred in 1971 in Suffolk they have increased very well indeed, as has the wetland management on which they depend. It is now a regular sight to see these wonderful large harriers hunting over our marshes. I photographed this one locally, something that I would not have thought possible only 30 years ago.
Thank you for having a look at my photos. Comments or faves are very welcome and much appreciated.
I love Nuthatches especially as they are a fairly recent addition to Scotland's birdlife. About 50 years ago they had a tiny foothold in the Borders but in the last thirty years or so they have expanded considerably spreading north and west quickly. The prime driver in this is the increase and popularity of bird feeding and Nuthatches can't resist a peanut. A pair were dominating the feeders today and cleaned out the peanuts. This is a female with light chestnut undertail coverts and a grey, rather than strong black, stripe through the eye.
As I crawl through the sand and lay on my stomach to capture this shot and others. Mersea Island is having a surge tide. If your not aware there is one road on and off. If the strood ( the rd on and off ) gets covered by sea you can have a two hour wait to get back across. After I finished photographing everything that moved, I realised that high tide was at 1.30pm and it was 12.45pm. I was stuck on mersea til the tide had subsided 3pm. Think I got some ok shots though!
Windy rainstorm today, I thought it would take me home like Doroty from the Wizard of Oz : )
The light went away and you don't realize you are making stupid gestures that need electricity. The noise or the silence, I do not know what has disturbed me more, perhaps neither one nor the other. I had music in my headphones and I was editing a photo ... it was like waking up in another world.
