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.

Thanks for your visit and comments, much appreciated!🙋♀️
As I had a lot of string, bits of rope and skeins of raffia left over, I started to make these vessels. No sewing machines and zigzag stitches, everything is hand-stitched with a wool needle.
Inspiré de l'artisanat traditionnel lozérien, et cévenol.
As always, your faves and comments are appreciated. Constructive criticism and suggestions are especially welcome as I believe they help to make me a better photographer. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.

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 we watched this little character something must have touched its foot, no chance it was putting the foot back down. After some investigating it tucked the foot underneath its feathers...safer.
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 it is the 9th November and Germany commemorates the fall of the wall in 1989 I wanted my image to mean something today.
"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.
The Shrine of Remembrance. The inscription on the face of the monument reads "This monument was erected by a grateful people to the honoured memory of the men and women of Victoria who served the empire in the great war of 1914-1918".
I'd taken an evening walk around the Botanical Gardens (that are adjacent to the shrine) and when I came back, the sun was just setting, casting its delicate light over the poppies.
Thank you so much, dear Aeris, for chosing my picture as groupscover, I feel very honored ,kisses & hugs ♥♥♥

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 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.
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.

Cambodia, Beggars
There are few beggars in Cambodia. We found them mainly in tourist areas ... As here, Chong Kneas, near Siem Reap, which means near Angkor Temples
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.
As you walk through the streets of almost any Italian city or town, be sure to pause for a moment and take a look down the alleys that you pass by. You just might catch a glimpse of the city’s hidden beauty.
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.
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.
As I've not posted a proper badger shot for ages, so here's one having a few sultanas with me back in 2017. Taken sitting in the woods out on the levels.
As you can see the hard working crew of the telephone company has mastered setting out orange cones. Now, if they can just get that bucket up the pole, we will have something. HTT
