This one foot long blue tongue lizard was wandering our streets in the middle of the roadway, so I gently nudged it in the direction of some safer garden areas, but it came straight back out onto the pathway again. I wasn't really very close taking this - minimum focus distance is 20 feet, but I got as low as I could for the shot. I made sure it moved back to safety again.

This Black vulture (Coragyps atratus) was more interested in the 'former racoon' than me. There were several around but this fellow was almost too close. The Springfield Nature Center's 'Circle of Life' was quite evident.

Teddy, busy checking out his photos from the picnic

 

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated

I got this amazing close up of one of the two new visitors and they are beautiful but I am missing my usual, rough around the edges little one. I am hoping that he is ok and has just moved on for the time being. In fact the new two are not fighting each other so one must be a female. So hard to tell them apart.

This one landed very close!

 

Sometimes life is like a Ferris wheel: if you are afraid of heights, you miss the chance to have the most beautiful view in the park…

Young crow and his mum taking for a walk near Ocean Beach in San Francisco. He didn't seem to mind me as long as I didn't get too close. But mum was keeping a close eye out.

 

First time posting this in color because I hate the background, but you can't always select that. Sometimes ya just gotta go with what ya got. But I was impressed with the details in the feathers.

This is a close-up photo of rusting, weathered details on an old train engine at the Railway Museum in Musquodoboit Harbour.

Did you know....The peanut was probably first domesticated and cultivated in the valleys of Paraguay....

  

This bolt was taken off the coast of Panama City Beach, as you can tell one of the bolts was very bright!! Hope this finds you all well, God Bless, and thanks for stopping by!!!

In my garden taking pictures of little birds at my bird feeding place, this jackdaw with an attitude was so close that my 600mm prime lens could only take a close-up of this black bird species.

Looking Close on ... Friday. Two

"A friend is a hand that is always holding yours, no matter how close or far apart you may be. A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care. A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart."

Seit die Rückkehr der Bauhrei 218 auf der KBS 855, Reuth bei Endorf bildet sich zum ein der bekannteste Fotostellen Deutschland. Die Stelle war längst auf mein Liste und mit 2 sonnige Wochenendetagen habe ich das endlich abgestattet.

 

Für der mittäglich RE 2 4863 sammelt sich ungefahr ein Dutzend Fotografen um die bekannte Stelle. Die Spannung war hoch mit Befürchtung von ein Gegenzugschaden. Die Signal zeigt Hp1 für ein Nordfahrende Güterzug. Zum glück kann die RE zuerst, der Güterzug knapp ein Minute später!

Since the return of the 218s to the Regensburg - Hof line, Reuth bei Endorf has become one of the most popular photo spots in Germany. The location had been on my list for a long time, and with two sunny weekend days I finally made the trip.

 

About a dozen photographers were assembled for the afternoon RE2 4863. It was a tense wait as a freight was approaching from behind, the signal already showing HP1 (clear). Thankfully the RE2 showed up first, about a minute before the freight!

A couple of shots taken as low as i could manage on the boardwalk at high tide. I guess the only way i will ever get lower will involve chest waders and or a right angle veiwfinder attatchment. Every inch closer improves separation
