Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Previously unpublished image from March 2019.
Taken last winter on a visit to York. The medieval city of York has this wonderful old wall encircling it which is fully open to the public. It dates back to Roman times although most of the Roman bits were replaced by another wall built by the Viking invaders around 1400 years ago. The current wall, while retaining elements of the Roman and Viking structures, dates back to construction that took place from the 12th to 14th century, so basically it's a pretty old wall. What a treat it was for me to capture this elderly gentleman in his traditional flat cap strolling along this part of the wall. But look closely because this is something I just can't figure out. He doesn't appear to have any hands! I have no idea why that is. I haven't touched this image other than to process it in the normal way. Very weird indeed.

A flat cap (sometimes "scally cap") is a rounded cap with a small stiff brim in front, originating in Great Britain and Ireland. The hat is known in Ireland as a paddy cap, in Scotland as a bunnet, in Wales as a Dai cap, in New Zealand as a cheese-cutter, and in the United States as a driving cap. Cloths used to make the cap include wool, tweed (most common), and cotton.
This black capped chickadee was chirping away in front of the yellow blossoms, making a hard capture as it rapidly moved from place to place. I lucked out that I'd set to manual earlier for some flight shots, so although the background is blown, I got the bird!
This little guy didn't mind me being within reaching distance of him while he ate the seeds from this tree. At eye level even! Very social birds these guys.
Taken near the base of the Reservoir Trail in Victoria Park, which is located in Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Yesterday a Black-capped Chickadee quickly flew into the seed feeder and snagged a peanut. He ate about half the peanut, and zipped away and landed on one of our solar Hummingbird light posts with his prize. He then began to sing "Fee-bee, Fee-bee" with the peanut in his mouth. This hit and run artist has mad & uncanny skills as he tries to impress the ladies.

After fighting crowds of photographers earlier in the day, I was estatic to be able to photograph this awesome scene of El Cap all by myself. I scouted the spot last week and because of snow foot prints, I knew I was the only one to go there this weekend. So while most photographers lined up to shoot the sunset on horsetail falls (which didnt happen) I was alone, happily making this image.
Le cap Roux est un cap du littoral de la Côte d'Azur dans le massif de l'Esterel, situé entre Agay dans le Var et Théoule-sur-Mer dans les Alpes-Maritimes.
Cap Roux is a cape on the Côte d'Azur coastline in the Esterel massif, in the French department of Var in the south of France.
La pointe du cap Roux est surplombée par les montagnes du pic du cap Roux (454 m) et du Saint-Pilon (442 m). Les roches volcaniques dominent comme dans tout le massif et leur couleur rougeâtre de la rhyolite donne le nom au cap.
Le Massif du Cap Roux est l’un des sites les plus beaux du Massif de l’Estérel. Avec ses rochers rouges aux parois verticales, le panorama offert depuis la table d’orientation au sommet (454m) est un mariage réussi de la montagne et de la mer.
Le volcanisme de l'Esterel est terminé depuis fort longtemps, mais rien n'interdit de rêver, de s'abandonner à la contemplation du paysage lorsque la lumière rougeoyante du couchant joue sa grande fantasmagorie sur les rochers du Cap Roux.
The tip of Cap Roux is overlooked by the mountains of Pic du Cap Roux (454 m) and Saint-Pilon (442 m). The volcanic rocks dominate as in the whole massif and their reddish color gives the name to the cape.
The Massif du Cap Roux is one of the most beautiful sites in the Massif de l'Estérel. With its red rocks with vertical walls, the panorama offered from the orientation table at the summit (454m) is a successful marriage of the mountain and the sea. The volcanism of the Esterel has been over for a long time, but nothing prevents you from dreaming, from abandoning yourself to the contemplation of the landscape when the glowing light of the setting sun plays its great phantasmagoria on the rocks of Cap Roux.
Located between the Mediterranean coast and Provence, the Estérel is a volcanic range that covers 32,000 hectares, including 14,000 protected hectares. Rhyolite, an igneous rock formed in the Paleozoic era, gives the mountains their striking red colour. Guided or self-tours are available for mountain bikers, horseback riders and hikers.

This is one of several Gray-capped Flycatchers that we saw on our visit to Costa Rica earlier this month. I’m impressed by just how many different types of flycatchers there are and by how many very similar looking ones share the same habitat.
We will be doing this trip again next spring, if you think you might be interested more information is available here: www.texastargetbirds.com/group-photo-trips/2018-costa-ric...

I didn't have many days available for doing local bird photography this winter, so I tended to prioritize seeking out great grey owls. I did spend one day at a local park, enjoying the common birds you tend to encounter in winter. The black-capped chickadee is always the first to come close to 'beg' for food. Being well rewarded from previous human encounters, they will vocalize a lot and will flutter nearby to get your attention, anticipating a handout.
They are cooperative, cute, and cheery, so I always try to get images of them.

Going back to the January trip for throwback Thursday, Cap Dramont, France, a morning long exposure under stormy weather, and 2 post sunset frames. The island with the tower is Ile D'Or, the inspiration for the L'Ile Noire segment (supposedly in Scotland) of Tintin comic books, for those of us old enough to grow up reading them. Below wikilink (in French):
You can ski clearly now ,
the rain has gone, ♫
that's what fashionable thistles wear,
... a snow cap ;-)
and that's what winter makes awesome!

Two weeks back from holiday in Brittany.
This photo was taken earlier this year in May.
If you look at the photo.
Can you understand that I liked the region and wanted to go back again.
Does anybody have any Blotting Paper for there is a Ink Blot on the Landscape...
Just took this little macro picture yesterday in my back garden. I thought it looked interesting the way it leaned over like this and the way the ink seems to be running from it and staining the grass. I never noticed this before with these mushrooms (probably never looked before...lol)
