Le concours, qui en est à sa septième année, est organisé par la Society of International Nature and Wildlife Photographers et présente une extraordinaire gamme de beautés aviaires.

Abold parakeet defending its territory from a hungry monitor lizard won Hira Punjabi the SINWP Bird Photographer of the Year 2024 competition. Now in its seventh year, the contest is run by the Society of International Nature and Wildlife Photographers and showcases an extraordinary array of avian beauty.

Philippidus audax, one of the most common spiders across N. America. This little guy is about 1/4 inch (6.35mm) long and filled with personality. This one was hanging out on our glass storm door, so I was able to get the shot by propping the lens against the glass and getting his attention.

He had an amazing bold pattern on his wings. I was super impressed I think this is the coolest one that I have seen.

Rotterdam is full of intersting architecture, one of the classics I like most is Toren op Zuid, also known as KPN Tower. Designed by architect Renzo Piano at the end of the last millenium the building impresses me each time I visit the city.

Thanks to all my Follower and my great Sponsors ❤

Thxxx for choosing my pic for your cover <3!!!

Bristling with sensors and aerials, 'Senior Span' equipped

US Air Force 9th RW Lockheed U-2S 80-1085 crosses the Whelford Road for Fairford's Runway 27

Note the pilot wearing an Astronaut type Space Helmet and flight suit for survival in the rarefied atmosphere that these amazing forty year old airframes regularly fly at

Operating 10-12 hour missions at 60,000 feet plus, they 'Boldly Go' where others fear to tread

BTW. Whilst I've cropped it down top and bottom, there's no crop at the sides - I just got lucky and managed not to slice the nose or tail off as she sped by. However, I'd liked to have had a bit more space on her nose which makes it easier on the 'eye' as there is 'somewhere' for the subject to go to.

There have been some trying times of late and on the whole I would have to say I'm proud in some regards as to how little we've bought into the narrative(s) of doom.

Trying times are on the way so continuing to be patient is good, as is understanding what is occurring.
