This black and white photograph was taken this morning before sunrise at Lower Seletar Reservoir, with the Heritage Bridge providing locational reference. There cloud formations appear to converge into the far distance, and mirror-like reflections in the Reservoir provide interesting contrast to the Bridge.
First Blossoms...
The cherry blossoms are just srti8ng to appear in our neighborhood, the branches of the Japanese Sakura Cherry trees are growing heavier with each passing day as the more and more flowers of the cherry blossom begin to unfurl their beautiful white petals.

The first mention of Middachten appears in the year 1190, and although the castle dates from the early Middle Ages, the house in its present form was built towards the end of the 17th century and still includes some medieval parts. Middachten is unique in that it is still a real, working estate. Besides the castle, park and gardens, the estate also includes farms, woods and agricultural land.
Middachten has never been sold but has always passed from one generation to another. As a result of this, the interior of the castle is complete and still has many of the original household effects, including a large collection of portraits and much 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th century furniture. The castle also has the original cupboards filled with collections of china, silver and glass-wear, and antique linen. The management of the estate is in the hands of the 25th Lord of Middachten, Count zu Ortenburg.
Your wedding at Middachten Castle would be an unforgettable experience for you and your guests. You would be welcomed at the castle steps from where you would be led through the vestibule with its beautiful staircase to the great hall. Here an official from the Rheden Borough Council would conduct the civil wedding ceremony. The gardens around the castle form a wonderful location for your wedding photographs.

Crocus (plural: crocuses or croci) is a genus of flowering plants in the iris family comprising 90 species of perennials growing from corms. Many are cultivated for their flowers appearing in autumn, winter, or spring. Crocuses are native to woodland, scrub, and meadows from sea level to alpine tundra in central and southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, on the islands of the Aegean, and across Central Asia to western China.
The name of the genus is derived from the Greek κρόκος (krokos). This, in turn, is probably a loan word from a Semitic language, related to Hebrew כרכום karkōm, Aramaic ܟܟܘܪܟܟܡܡܐ kurkama, and Arabic كركم kurkum, which mean "saffron" ( Crocus sativus), "saffron yellow" or turmeric (see Curcuma). The English name is a learned 16th-century adoption from the Latin, but Old English already had croh "saffron". The Classical Sanskrit कुङ्कुमं kunkumam "saffron" (Sushruta Samhita) is presumably also from the Semitic word.
Cultivation and harvesting of Crocus sativus for saffron was first documented in the Mediterranean, notably on the island of Crete. Frescos showing them are found at the Knossos site on Crete, as well as from the comparably aged Akrotiri site on Santorini.
The first crocus seen in the Netherlands, where crocus species are not native, were from corms brought back in the 1560s from Constantinople by the Holy Roman Emperor's ambassador to the Sublime Porte, Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq. A few corms were forwarded to Carolus Clusius at the botanical garden in Leiden. By 1620, the approximate date of Ambrosius Bosschaert's painting (illustration, below), new garden varieties had been developed, such as the cream-colored crocus feathered with bronze at the base of the bouquet, similar to varieties still on the market. Bosschaert, working from a preparatory drawing to paint his composed piece spanning the whole of spring, exaggerated the crocus so that it passes for a tulip, but its narrow, grass-like leaves give it away.

Song Sparrows appear to be everywhere this time of year. This one was taking a break from singing and hunting for food. Song Sparrows are large, dark, heavily streaked, chunky birds. The face has dark streaks through each eye and on either side of the crown, with gray between the dark streaks.
There is a bird I know so well,
It seems as if he must have sung
Beside my crib when I was young;
Before I knew the way to spell
The name of even the smallest bird,
His gentle, joyful song I heard.
Now see if you can tell, my dear,
What bird it is, that every year,
Sings “Sweet—sweet—sweet—very merry cheer.”
By Henry Van Dyke
I appear to have found the only Robin with a peanut allergy.... Or maybe it doesn't like this brand of peanut butter.
It appears I must have been (a) ever so slightly bored or (b) feeling a burst of creativity on 3 August 2019 as I went through my bag of magic props to come up with some kind of an abstracty macro. This is some gift wrapping ribbon which I'd bought and put aside for such a day. :-)
It almost appeared as if the tide had formed a waterline border separating the American fisherman in Point Roberts, Whatcom County USA (foreground ) from the
BC Ferries , located in British Columbia, Canada (background)

A winter dusting appears like a light glaze of sugar over Smith Rock. Taken in the canyon on a gorgeous winter afternoon.
I went to look for the chamois again today, and although they showed up they didn’t seem pleased that I had brought my mom along... they made a big show of giving warning calls and sprinting towards cover while not appearing particularly nervous. (They do remind me a bit of cats.) As I didn’t manage to capture their show very well I took a few flower shots instead...
The other day a friend was commenting on the clouds that appear along the Sunshine Coast vs those in Alberta. Ostensibly, those that take shape over the ocean vs those that develop in the prairies. We both came to the conclusion that although the topic of clouds was the same, the resulting forms were often different yet unique to the landscape. (so to speak)
In this image there are two distinct clouds forming in the distance, both over the ocean and developing over a distant island. Pender Island to be exact. One, filling the sky at a higher level, while the other stretching for miles at a specific height catapillaring along the ocean.
After photographing Prairie clouds for the last 26 years, I have noted in my photos they are often quite wispy, or perhaps appearing like giant whipped potatoes in a thunder cloud, or just plain leaden, covering the sky. They too come in many forms, but for the most part, look distinctively different. And, isn't it fun to just watch them as they move inexorably across the sky creating their beauty for us to photograph.
Red-breasted Merganser appeared to be stranded between iced areas near the shore. It appeared it didn't want to fly out into open water or couldn't. It finally fumbled over iced areas to get to the open water.
This scene appeared to me like two playing ball while a others are watching them from the side of the playground. This was not a planned shot, but much more an exercise in recognize and react.

(Glaucidium cuculoides)
Mandal

Índia
We were photographing the species that appeared when the guide excitedly told us that an owlet was vocalizing. Since we hadn't photographed an owlet before, we tried with renewed enthusiasm to identify the origin of the sound, but quickly became discouraged as it seemed beyond our capacity to identify a bird that we already knew to be very small, although we had never seen one before. We refocused on what was displayed before our eyes and didn't think about it anymore.
After about 15 minutes, the guide exclaimed excitedly, "it's over there". However, even with the explanation of where to look, it was not easy and some of us took a few minutes to follow the instructions of the trunks to find this small, but beautiful, ball of feathers!
We spent another 10 minutes photographing this beauty, searching for possible angles, backgrounds, and frames. I even managed to find a second bird by myself. The difficult part is finding the first one :)

Ruddy Darters appear late in the season, usually towards the end of June and have gone by early September. The mating adults often fly coupled, and perform a dipping flight over the water, the female releasing eggs which the male has fertilised. The larvae spend a year beneath the surface before emerging to hatch into adults. This immature male was seen at Coombe Hill nature reserve in Gloucestershire.
Die Rakotzbrücke im Kromlauer Park ist bekannt für ihre perfekte Spiegelung: Der steinerne Halbkreis der Brücke und sein Abbild im Wasser formen zusammen einen scheinbar geschlossenen Kreis – ein Sinnbild für Harmonie und Symmetrie.
Dieses Bild zeigt genau diesen Moment: Halb aus Stein, halb aus Spiegelung – und doch wirkt es wie ein einziges, vollkommenes Ganzes.
Natur und Architektur verschmelzen hier zu einer magischen Illusion.
-----------------------------------------
The Rakotz Bridge in Kromlau Park is famous for its perfect reflection: The stone semicircle of the bridge and its mirrored image in the water form what appears to be a complete circle – a symbol of harmony and symmetry.
This photograph captures that very moment: Half made of stone, half made of reflection – yet it appears as one seamless whole.
Nature and architecture merge into a magical illusion.
Appears to be mix of Canada Goose and Grey Lag Goose.
Looks like a Canada Goose but the Legs and Beak are the wrong colours.
This capture was early morning shortly after Sun Rise in the golden light.
Subject appears bigger than life , ,les pastilles de vichy de mon enfance et celles de mes petits enfants,elle sèment partout cette poudre blanche ..,
appears this bird had a injury of some type, missing two claws....suppose possibly freezing temps or maybe leyla's or lana's cat attack, who knows
Flocks of Snow Buntings appear pervasively in Northern Michigan every winter. They are usually not hard to find, but they are always a challenge to photograph because the flock is always quick to fly away. I was able to capture this bird, along with several others in early November. A flock would feed on the shores of Lake Superior while this bird landed regularly in a tree near open grass. This bird and a few friends would land frequently and look for food on the ground. The secret was simply to stay put and shoot until something good jumped into my lens.
November 2016 Supermoon setting behind the
Waldo Canyon Fire Burn Scar as the Rocky Mountains glow red/orange from the morning sunrise
Colorado Springs, CO.
At 24 hours past its peak, I suppose this is no longer really a true "Supermoon", however it was a wonderful sight to watch as I started my day ...
Note: Having taken several photos shortly after moonrise the past couple of days, I also observed that the PoV changes between moonrise and moonset such that the moon appears to rotate more than 90 degrees during its travel across the sky. This explains why the orientation of the craters often appears so different between one moon photograph and another. :)
All of the photos were taken respectfully and for artistic purposes only.

In the beginning, the seed of the tree was just a small and inconspicuous object, hidden away in the soil. However, with time, it started to grow roots, pushing its way deeper into the earth, seeking nourishment and stability. Slowly but steadily, it began to sprout, breaking through the surface of the soil and reaching towards the sky.
As the tree grew taller and wider, it became a vital part of its ecosystem, providing shelter and food for various creatures. It survived through harsh weather conditions, enduring the scorching heat of the sun and the biting cold of winter.
Now, as we see it surrounded by dense fog, the tree appears like a wonder from another world, as if it has emerged from a mythical forest of dreams. The rays of the sun filter through the mist, casting the tree in a hazy glow, making it seem otherworldly and surreal.
The tree's silhouette appears ghostly, with some parts highlighted with a brighter and clearer intensity while others are shrouded in darkness and obscurity. This contrast between the light and shadows enhances the tree's magnificence and mystery.

What appears tranquil and calm really isn't. Between the noise from traffic on US 2, the water rushing through the dam, and the noise from the various paper mill machinery from Verso, the calm is only visible on the smooth water. Preparing to stop and work Verso, CN A451 crosses over the Escanaba River that is unusually calm and casts a near perfect reflection.
These have appeared in the garden over the last few weeks - tiny things, about 4-6 mm across on average.
"These odd and fascinating little fungi look for all the world like tiny birds' nests. The fruiting bodies form little cuplike nests which contain spore-filled eggs. The nests are called "peridia" ("peridium" in the singular), and serve as splash cups; when raindrops strike the nest, the eggs (called "periodoles") are projected into the air, where they latch onto twigs, branches, leaves, and so on. What exactly happens next is not completely clear, but eventually the spores are dispersed from the egg. They then germinate and create mycelia, which eventually hook up with other mycelia and produce more fruiting bodies." - www.mushroomexpert.com/birdsnests.html
Georgian folk dances impress with their brightness, incredible fire, sumptuous costumes and the interweaving of history with art. They give incredibly great pleasure to both the audience and the dancers themselves. No one has remained indifferent after such a spectacle! Today we offer you to get acquainted with the most famous Georgian folk dances and learn a little about their history:
Georgian National Dances: General information
The exact date of the origin of Georgian national dances is not known. However, it is supposed that the Georgian dancing folk was mentioned for the first time before our era.
In different parts of the country during many years were appearing unique dancing movements which have passed from generation to generation. And you will note that the dances of mountainous region inhabitants are characterized by sharp and rapid movements while the dance movements of plain inhabitants are smooth. Each Georgian national dance requires special costumes which resemble the clothes of inhabitants of different regions.

Caught at Cromford’s vintage toy shop, Derbyshire. First appeared in Dr Who 1966…not a patch on the Daleks IMO
A peacock displaying in Ranthambhore National Park in India! As the peacock would turn, different colors would appear! Mostly greens, pink and blues.

Campsis (Trumpet Creeper ‘Madame Galen’, Trumpet Vine ‘Madame Galen’).
It is a charming hybrid between Campsis radicals (American Trumpet Vine) and Campsis grandiflora (Chinese Trumpet Vine).
It produces trumpet-shaped, orange to red flowers up to 3 in (8 cm) long that appear in loose clusters of 6 to 12. It is a woody, clinging, perennial vine that attaches itself to structures and climbs vigorously with aerial roots like those of ivy. It bears dark-green deciduous leaves, 8–12 in (20–30 cm) long. Its flowers are very attractive to bees, butterflies and birds.
