Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Getting a lovely 'flattered' smile after this shot was a really nice moment of the day. Enjoy!

My girlfriend's cat had EIGHT kittens! She set up the backdrop and got the kittens ready for me, so all I had to do was click the shutter button. Sooooo cute!
On an early morning walk we came across this dead seagull. Callie is waiting for it to move and fly away like the rest of the gulls she chases.
Amy sticking her head out of the carrier to look around on our way back from the chemo treatment. She is doing well so far. Thank you for your thoughts and comments.
There are rumors this area of Oregon has herds of wild horses. We didn't see any wild horses but did see some gorgeous horses. These two were very curious about what I was doing with a camera.
The foal is an Arab and I was sitting in the grass and looked up to him when I took this photo. That's something I do quite often when I'm at Marbach, not only because I like the POV for horse photos but mainly because it always excites the curiosity of the foals.
After being shut out the night before by a stubborn storm that refused to break up over Jasper National Park, we had our fingers crossed as we headed back to Maligne Lake the following morning. We all seemed pretty happy with our blue hour shots, but as sunrise approached, it really began to look like we might not see the sun at all that day. I think we had all resigned ourselves to the fact that we were looking at another completely gray day when I glanced up an noticed the faintest wisp of pink on one of the clouds. Sure enough, the sun broke through just enough to throw some fleeting color across the the clouds that were continuing to roll in from the West. I think Tom and I are the ones in our group who really have a problem standing still during moments like this. Both of us went off in all directions at once, and both of us had two camera bodies for just such an occasion. Leaving my D800 on the tripod, I took off running with my D750 and cranked up the ISO a bit while I looked for other comps in addition to what I was getting down at the lakeside.
As I was racing back to my spot in front of the boat house, this puddle caught my eye and I spent the next few minutes trying to shoot if from several different angles with the 14-24. There have been times where I have doubted my run and gun approach, but I usually reserve it for situations where I feel like I've got a decent shot on the tripod before setting of to see what I might be missing maybe just a few steps away. If I had stayed camped out where I was I would have missed this particular shot along with quite a few others. We ALL gave in to temptation two nights before when we had a perfectly good view of the late afternoon sun up at the Opabin Prospect, but curiosity got the better of us and we full out RAN back up the trail to get more shots of the larches behind us. So I think there is something to be said for making sure you KEEP MOVING once you believe you have a decent shot...especially when you might only have another few minutes of good light.
This being said, it helps to be able to TRUST the guys who you are shooting next to. Maybe leaving the camera on the tripod while you run like a maniac in all directions should be reserved for those times when you actually know the people around you...or you might not have a camera when you get back. :)

I walked some 150 yards down into a field to see these beautiful creatures and they kindly wandered up to the gate to observe me. I then walked to look into another field where there were several horses and returned towards the style where I had entered the field.
When observing a Stallion in another field I heard the pounding of hoofs and saw the foal galloping at top speed away from the gate. A few seconds later it galloped towards the gate knocking it down an then headed towards me. I was holding our son's dog and headed towards the style. Looking over my shoulder I saw the foal turn and gallop towards the field containing several horses with the Mare joining it. I was relieved as I hopped over the style to safety.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISITS, COMMENTS, AWARDS AND FOR ANY INVITES.
While getting in close with my MP-E 65 mm macro this little praying mantis jumped onto my lens and scurried up the camera body. Quick change of camera and lenses to grab this shot.
Every year we have one or two curious Common Goldeneye coming close to shore. This year we had a female posing for us.

Ever play hide and seek with a young fox kit? This young one was so curious about our presence, but didn't want to make a full appearance. For a moment it reminded me of the young burrowing owls ... peeking out of the burrow, from the safety of the burrow, :-). Eventually its siblings, who were more adventurous came out to play, so it followed along.
We've been having some work done at home and thus I've been keeping a low profile, but I couldn't resist popping in to say hello on this gorgeous morning. It feels like fall out there this morning, though I know it will feel like the dead of summer in about 6-8 hrs.
Hope everyone enjoys their day and upcoming weekend!

Curiosity Rocks in Jindabyne is a significant Aboriginal Place, especially for the Ngarigo people, and is protected under the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Act. It's a site of cultural, spiritual, and historical importance, recognized for its connection to the Ngarigo's traditional land and water. The rocks are located in Lake Jindabyne, near Kalkite Mountain, and are associated with a camping area and ceremonial grounds along the Snowy River.

There’s something magical about encountering something unfamiliar—a spark of curiosity that draws us in and makes us pause. As children, this kind of wonder is second nature. Every new sight, sound, or discovery feels like an adventure, and we explore without hesitation. But as we grow older, life’s routines often take over, and that spark can dim. We forget to stop, notice, and question.
Reclaiming that curiosity isn’t just about observing the world—it’s about reconnecting with the joy of exploration. It means letting ourselves linger when something catches our attention, allowing time to investigate and be amazed. These moments remind us that life still holds endless possibilities for wonder if we’re willing to slow down and truly look. Curiosity is a gift we never lose—it’s always waiting for us to rediscover it.

Thanks for your Visit Views Faves and Comments, have all a Nice Week. ✌
Spotted this little Carolina Wren hopping about some decorations recently set out in our backyard, which also included quite a few Goodie Bowls scattered about among them.
This curious little cutie was not about to let an opportunity like this go without checking out all the nooks and crannies, because you never know what you'll find if you don't look!
