The Riverside, Phnom Penh
Pigeons at the Riverside are so tame, they will actually eat right out of your hand. The one above just flew in to say hi and to see if my camera was edible. 😁
In the photo above, you're actually looking across The Tonle Sap River, away from the city. A five minute walk from here, The Tonle Sap merges with The Mekong River. This area of Phnom Penh is known as The Riverside, home of The Royal Palace, The National Museum, Wat Ounalom and dozens of cafes, bars, restaurants and hotels.
There is a wide, paved pedestrian sidewalk running along the rivers, which makes it a popular hangout for foreigners and locals alike. Especially after sunset, when it cools off.
actually, this bird was standing on the Connecticut River bank next to a sign warning against the discharge of sewage waste (I think).
It just *looks* like it has its hands in its pockets.
Actually, Salisbury market place on a rainy evening in October. Salisbury is a stunning, historical town with much to commend it. However, it is still struggling with reduced visitor numbers after the novichok poisoning episode several years ago. I was standing in this market square looking at a signpost that gave distances to other Salisburys around the world and a local resident stopped to ask if I needed help, I told her I was just visiting and she actually thanked me for visiting. If you are passing and can spare the time Salisbury is worth a visit and you will be made welcome by residents and businesses alike.
This was actually not a shot that I thought I'd be keeping as I was only shooting these little flowers as a test shot to see how a vintage lens I was trying out was rendering on my Sony digital camera. But the more I looked at it the more I personally liked it.

Actually taken a couple years ago on our fishing trip in Montana. I found this following a dirt road for 14 miles across ranch lands. It looks like the rancher was mimicking the "3- pink caddy's" artwork only his own twist on it.
What I couldn't figure is where they were located who would ever see them except a few stray cattle or maybe some lost fool like myself.
This one actually makes me smile. I was out in a local town shooting a roll of film through a camera that I intended on selling just to make sure everything worked. There were some stairs going up to a parking lot on top of a building and I was looking at the stairs to see if there was a picture there to be had when these two young lads bustled past on their way up the stairs. They had noticed my camera and when they got to the top of the stairs one of them turned around and shouted down - did I want to take his picture. I laughed and said sure and he gave me that pose and "attitude" before laughing and running off.

A princely, or actually a kingly 1908 Daimler produced in England and powered by a silent sleeve-valved 9.5 liter engine capable of 75 MPH (imagine that on 1908 roads) and outfitted with a phaeton body of a style known as Roi des Belges, as it was first chosen by the King of Belgium in 1901, and remained in form for a number of years. The car is better than new in it's pristine restoration, and comes with a gallon of brass cleaner and a dozen rags..........just kidding.

Actually upset because they have youngsters.
Hancock County - Iowa
There are actually two identical maples back to back . . . the one in back was just starting to turn, while the front maple was singing it's autumn song!
I actually drove passed these trees, realized how beautiful they were and turned around to get the shot!

Actually, taken in April 1992. I went to Newport with my husband and while he spent the time in a work conference, I got to visit the Cliff Walk and a few mansions. Wonderful memories!
Actually, no-one waiting.

Actually it looks like a broccoli/cauliflower hybrid, writ large.
I asked around for answers as to what this is called.
Mary says “Crepe myrtle.”
Tom says: Melaleuca linariifolia. Also known as Paperbark or "snow in summer" tree. www.marinatreeandgarden.org/treelist/melaleuca_l.html
Actually managed a day out with my camera today, and had the chance to tick 2 locations off my ever-growing bucket list. This beautiful old abandoned church really tickled me, with the oak tree growing up through the middle. Unfortunately we were plagued with very harsh sunlight today, so a return trip is on the cards....;-)
Actually, I now believe this may be a Yellow Warbler. Due to two great Flikrites I actually did some looking in my bird book and came up with my best guess. I do at least know that it is not a Goldfinch. Cute though.
Three into one won't go!
Actually the female in the front had spent some time right down the bottom of the nest. Whether she had laid an egg or not, I don't know. Then, while she was having a little break to stretch her legs, the other pair moved in. Duck No 1 was distraught, and loudly complained before flying in to what she thought was her nest. But she just didn't have the numbers, and lost that round.
Eventually they all flew off, leaving the nest unguarded for whoever else might fancy it.
And here was I thinking wood ducks were the most peaceful non-aggressive birds on the reserve.
Callum Brae, Australian Capital Territory. September, 2017.
I actually took this (and a few other ornaments) to the beach but it was so overcast that I decided not to take photos. So they got a trip out, and a walk along the beach.
When I got back to town it was nicer, so I went to a park and had a little photo shoot there instead :-)
So I looked through my photostream today and saw how many beach related photos I've got. And at least a quarter of the 'non-beach related' ones actually were taken on the way too, from, or next to, a beach!
All these lovely little purple shells were found and carefully collected by me at Himatangi beach, NZ.
Another couple of shots of these purple shells

>More of my beach finds on flickr :-D
Actually taken in 2013 in Yorkshire somewhere. Can't remember where exactly. I'm sure someone will know ;-)
I actually like the previous photo of salt crystals better than this one but it seems like plenty of people chose to do salt for the MM challenge so I decided to go with these dashi granules instead. Area shown is about 33mm wide.
Happy Macro Monday!
That's actually the old Erlangen Palace in the background, now serving as the university administration building. And the horses are part of a children's carousel or merry-go-round at the central Erlangen Christmas Market. I got the shot on one of those rare November days when the sun was shining.

Thank you all for your clicks, comments and faves.
LAMEST PHOTO EVER. -_-
I'm sorry. Since I promised that I will be posting a photo I actually took today, this is all I got. I've run out of inspirations and ideas and I'm tired. I have a chemistry and history quiz tomorrow and I haven't even studied. So please forgive me for posting this photo. As soon as Cheering practice is over, i promise to post better pictures.
I love cute pens. <333
I actually stole this idea from Leif Mannerström, former owner of the best restaurant, "Kometen" in Gothenburg.
You don´t only boil pasta, but you cook all ingredients basically at the same time, in the same pot.
I don´t remember what I put into it, but it includes chives, pesto, sundried tomatoes, olives and some big shrimp.
I do recall that my spouse was praising me for this meal.
She thought it was delicious.
But no recipe, sorry.
Actually, there were several rocks which had been spray painted by city power crews. Sorted through them to find the one I liked the most, because that's the sort of idiotic stuff you do for Iron Photographer. Right?
I actually lucked into an NS heritage unit operating on track of which it represents. Here the 8099 leads a loaded coal train toward East St Louis on the former Southern Ry western extension. The coal is taking a convoluted route west from a mine near Princeton, Indiana to East St Louis where it went north and east to Bellevue, Ohio where it was sent south and east to the tidewater port at Lambert's Point, Virginia.
Actually it no longer acts as a train station. It now is a meeting venue, a hotel, and has other attractions, in Saint Louis, MO. USA
342 Dalin Rd., Shanghai
Located near a maternity hospital, the shop sells foods that the Chinese believe are particularly beneficial to pregnant women, such as edible swallow's nests, sea cucumbers and fish maws - all of which are actually only effective in the fantasies of some Chinese people.
We actually just wanted to watch a movie and order something to eat, but then someone started taking off their pants... maybe it was me... but it's just more comfortable without pants :P and beside how i can resist my pretty cute Latisha♥

Also known as Smith's thrush
Afrikaans: Geelbek lyster
EDIT: Karoo Thrush (Geelbeklyster) aka: Smith's thrush. This bird can be seen everywhere these days in South Africa, and it is actually rather a pest. It attacks and drive other birds away from areas of food. One of the least liked birds in my garden.
The photo was cropped quite a lot.
Actually, it is a church at the end of a DOUBLE rainbow at the end of a rain storm at the end of the day. The rainbow missed the water tower on its other side.
This panoramic shot is stitched together from three shots and then cropped. My 20mm lens is pretty wide but this was an ultra wide scene.
Actually a pre-dawn shot from the beach at the Gibson Steps in Victoria, Australia. In the centre is one of the Twelve Apostles - either Gog or Magog.
On the left of the sea stack is the Milky Way rising. The southern cross is visible to the left of the Coalsack. Directly above the sea stack is the Large Magellanic Cloud and to the right is Canopus, the second brightest star in the sky. The Small Magellanic Cloud is visible between the sea stack and Canopus.
Inspired by Girl with a pearl earring from Johannes Vermeer.
a Dutch painter in the seventeenth century.
Photoshop editing from an "Image Creator" picture.
Actually I don't think this is a wetland or a swamp. It's just a few old boggy areas right off a hiking/biking trail called Lost Valley here in St. Charles County. I just love the obvious old age of the trees in this area. & although the water has this algae, or whatever it is atop it, the water is actually clear, which just adds to the beauty of this awesome place. Not to mention how much I love a late winter landscape & these skies.
Eugene actually had his birthday yesterday so I am catching up. Here he is in his usual glory in the middle of the pouring rain that was Riot Fest last year.

Actually one of the better looking buildings in this village in southwest Ohio. Got a lot of 7up signs on the 2nd story.
Actually, this is not quite true. Truth is not my strong side, but it has to be said that I make sure that I have enough. But, when it comes to others, I don't give a shit about anything. What have others ever done for me? Yes, they empty the bins. But apart from that, what have the others ever done for me? OK, they stack the shelves in the shops for me and deliver my mail, but apart from bins, shelves and mail, what have the others ever done for me? What, policing the neighbourhood, children's education and medical support? I'll give you that. But apart from bins, shops, post, police, school and hospital, what have the others ever done for me? And so on, and so on.
