Living in cities one rarely sees some of the varieties of birds. The solitary kingfisher perched high on the electric wire behind it a beautiful dark blue sky with fresh breeze blowing. It was looking down probably trying to look for food. There are roughly 90 species of kingfishers. All have large heads, long, sharp, pointed bills, short legs, and stubby tails. Most species have bright plumage with few differences between the sexes and most species are tropical in distribution, and a slight majority are found only in forests.

Another prairie sky show, with the high cirrus sunset lighting up the sky....

Hello awesome Flickr People !!

Today is a yellow day at Color my World Daily and the theme at the fabulous *ღღ* Cosas de casa *ღღ Group, is white background.

So what is yellow, full of vitamins, goes great with gin & tonic and looks awesome on white background ? Lemon of course !!

I had this picture on my mind for quite some time now so when I heard the white background theme I was ready !

Well at least in my head, because capturing the picture that I actually like is surprisingly very time consuming (am I too obsessive ??? Am I a photography monster ?? I think we have something here.)… We all (yes, my family’s input is mandatory during the photo shoots !!) almost lost our minds with this one… Luckily we had gin & tonic for my husband and I and video games for my sons to calm down… So cheers my friends and I hope you like the result !

See you later my friends !!

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and healthy!! And see you soon on Flickr!!

Another from last year. The background is natural - just the early light falling on golden grass with the butterfly in my shadow and a tweak or two of the exposure.

Working with this candid street photography grab from Broken Arrow Rose District, I hated all the vehicles in background so worked to smooth them out. I wanted the tattoo and real roses to be seen over the cars behind them.

Ô neige, toi la douce endormeuse des bruits

Si douce ,toi la sœur pensive du silence ,

Ô toi l'immaculée en manteau d'indolence

Qui gardes ta pâleur même à travers les nuits ;

Douce ! tu les éteins et tu les atténues

Les tumultes épars , les contours ,les rumeurs [.......]

Extrait de : Georges Rodenbach !!!!!!!!!!!!

My thanks on line tutor Matt Kloskowski for the lesson on creating one's own textures.

Female Ruby Throated Hummingbird sitting on a Rose Of Sharon bud with the flower in the background.

Photographing signs is not the most original venture. In the background, a few lights from the skyscrapers in Frankfurt downtown can be seen. Just messing around.

Kites look so much better against a darker background. I usually get shots of them with a white or blue sky and the contrast is just not enough. That's why I think this is a lovely background.
