Bird Island, Seychelles
These are the most timid of birds and it's very difficult to get close to them. However, I was sitting on the chalet's verandah one day and this one came strolling by really close. I couldn't believe my luck and grabbed my camera. It's a shame the grass was so long because it was sort of wading through it and I couldn't get a clear shot where the feet were exposed.

With the CP-KCS merger set to take effect on April 14th, this will be one of my last shots of the Kansas City Southern still operating as an independent company. I wish the merger would bring some new developments to the Springfield line, but the merger application indicates that CPKC will continue the status quo of not much of anything.

No, not me! The frock, although there’s a sense of irony in ‘brave soul’ for a lot of us. It is a brave thing to be yourself! Here’s to the brave girls.
Thirsty baby.
This little squirrel was too thirsty to move out of the road as we drove up one day when we had gone trouting last summer. Isn't he a pretty colour ? :-)

This is me.
So this is A LOT different than my usual work, but I figured I'd try something different from my bright, polished pictures. This is more me, conceptual and detail-oriented. Although it's a little messier than I would have liked, I'm happy with it for now.
And of course I shall give credit where credit is due to the lovely Brooke Shaden whose photostream I've been OBSESSING over for the past few weeks. Really though, 70% of my newest favorites are from her stream.
I think I can rightly say I've emerged from my slump of taking mundane, "pretty" head shots, fingers crossed though.
This image is a homage to all the artists I know who are utterly and passionately consumed by their ideas. Translating the concepts that follow us around day and night is such a brave and soulful experience. The feeling of euphoria I transcend when creating is unexplainable. I have no real understanding for the butterflies I experience whilst editing an image but I know that without putting the brush to the canvas, I could not cope.
I've been sitting on this idea for a couple of months now, it's been revisiting me over and over again. I've been practising a new mindset recently, one that includes telling myself out loud to stop all negative thoughts. It's been working so far and by painting my thoughts, it's allowed me the freedom to introduce new ideas. I'm so content that I've finally reached this place!
(I've missed my Sunday upload on YouTube due to editing this all day, it's been a long old edit! I'll be posting the behind the scenes of this tomorrow, so if you fancy seeing me covered in paint, freezing my ass off, go check it out then! :)

This is probably one of the most famous places to visit with many visitors all year round. Luckily, I was able to get a shot with no visitors in it.

Les Braves is a monumental sculpture created by French artist Anilore Banon. It is located on Omaha Beach in Normandy, France, overlooking the English Channel.
The sculpture was commissioned to commemorate the Allied soldiers who landed on Omaha Beach during the D-Day invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944 during World War II. It serves as a memorial to the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought and died in the battle.
The sculpture consists of three main elements:
The Wings of Hope - Representing the rise of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The two large wings symbolize the courage and determination of the soldiers.
The Wings of Fraternity - Depicting the unity and camaraderie of the Allied forces. The intertwined wings represent the soldiers supporting and protecting one another.
The Wings of Memory - Honoring the memory of those who lost their lives. The third set of wings points skyward, symbolizing the souls of the fallen ascending.
Together, the three elements of the sculpture create a powerful and moving tribute to the D-Day soldiers. The design and placement of the work allow visitors to reflect on the events of that historic day and pay their respects to the brave men who fought for freedom.
Les Braves has become an iconic landmark along the Normandy coastline, drawing visitors from around the world to this hallowed ground.

Well, it took a while, but my foxy pals offspring are slowly getting used to coming out in the daylight, all be it twilight! 😣 They were frolicking around before I got my camera out, but despite being 30 feet away and hiding behind my back door and shooting through my fly netting, they are still a little skittish, so the sound of the camera shutter clicking startled them, however the rumblings in the tummy seem to over ride any fear of me getting them, all be it for a few very brief seconds! So whilst two ran away, this one stayed for a few seconds before also legging it into the gloom! Hopefully I'll manage to capture a decent image before the nights draw in and the evening light gets worse, otherwise I'll have to start all over again next year!!!.:(
Have a Fabulous Friday Y'all..:)
Well we got about 5' of snow on Friday.Then it turned very cold, and a wind chill in the negative numbers. That did not stop the birds. they were all over the place. They say a Nor Easter is headed our way. We are already in a Blizzard watch for Tuesday with up to 18" of Snow on the way. OH BOY......Can't wait. Anyway here is one of the Tufted-titmouse sitting on there favorite perch out back at the Brush pile, Our backyard.
Heidi was the only one in our group brave enough to climb on top of this concrete arch in the Silver City ruins.
