Nice light this morning in Costessey on these beautiful waxwings.

Double-crested Cormorant. Best Viewed Large On Black The Double-crested Cormorant swims low in the water, often with just its neck and head visible, and dives from the surface. It uses its feet for propulsion and is able to dive to a depth of 1.5–7.5 m (5–25 feet) for 30–70 seconds. After diving, it spends long periods standing with its wings outstretched to allow them to dry, since they are not fully waterproofed. This species flies low over the water, with its bill tilted slightly upward, sometimes leaving the colony in long, single-file lines. IMG_6298
I love how in summer our Lavender bursts past the confines of the flower beds and onto the path so that all who walk by brush it and release it’s heavenly scent. HSoS!

Brasenose Lane runs behind the colleges of Lincoln and Brasenose in Oxford and runs up to the Radcliffe Camera which is a beautiful building that forms part of the Bodleian Library. I have given this photo this title for obvious reasons. I just couldn't miss this little face sticking out from under the sleeping bag whilst his owner catches a quick sleep in not very salubrious circumstances.
I followed this pigeon around the tree with my lens but he was determined to stay hidden!
Happy Slider Sunday!
"Stay home" is not a hindrance to a sisterly "Catch me if you can" alone, Granpa watching at a distance, with his mask on, at the building playground.

Every Friday as I head out past this intersection I'm amazed at how many people are waiting in long lines to catch taxis home from work. Even in the rain, they have no other choice but to just wait their turn.
From sighting to catch in 1 second. We are fortunate to have an area below the nearby dam that has become a favorite place for the Eagles to stop and hang out in these cold winter months on their migration path. No, it's not like Alaska but to see upwards of 30 Bald Eagles fishing and playing along the river is pretty awesome. 4 frame composite.

... before it's gone.
took this picture of june while standing in the same spot where i took the previous shot of alice, just a few seconds later and facing the opposite direction... had fun playing with the light of the setting sun this evening.
a ferocious downpour brought the kids out. they shriek and scream, rain is so rare, especially in this quantity.

Here on the west coast of this island of Newfoundland we are truly blessed ... beautiful scenery, abundant wildlife, and a wealth of pristine rivers only a short drive from one's home. And those rivers are home to the king of fish ... Salmo salar ... the Atlantic Salmon. Pound for pound the feistiest fish you can ever have on the end of a fly line. A precious resource that needs to be preserved for generations of fishermen for years to come. Sad to say, though, a lot of folks who call themselves fishermen truly aren't. They are not in favor of catch and release! Not at all! They want to take these fish to eat. And there are too few of them left to continue to have that kind of attitude. But it is quite prevalent around here nevertheless. We don't use a net. We don't even take the fish out of the water. Here you will see the correct way to release these beautiful fish ... so that they can live to spawn ... and perhaps even give someone else the enjoyment of having it on the end of their fly line sometime in the future.
To add to my enjoyment, I spent this past weekend fishing with my son ... my middle son. He comes to fish with me on the weekend after the Father's Day weekend since he has children of his own now ... but too young to fish just yet. 😊 He comes to Labrador to fish with me for part of the two or three weeks I spend there, too. Life is good!
Enjoy the video ... even if you aren't a fisherman!
