RKO_3664. Close-up shot of a beautiful Bittern. Actually, I knew she was somewhere nearby in the reeds, but I couldn't find her due her camouflage feathers. Surprisingly the Bittern left the reeds (very relaxed) just in front of me allowing for some quick close-up shots.

A harrier made a close pass while looking for prey.

Farming under the shadow of a National Monument. Devils Tower in Wyoming has been one of my favorite places to visit for years. Always reminds me of the Steven Spielberg 1977 movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

I do so love when wildlife chooses to come really close, and was thrilled to get such a great view of this beautiful red squirrel in Kilchrenan way back in 2013. However, it was slightly frustrating that it was so close that it wouldn't quite fit in the frame, and so I had to chop the tip of its lovely fluffy tail :(

Every now and then on of these will let me get in close.

This red winged blackbird took off near me, and headed toward another branch even closer. Zoom in for details of the water drops.

Edimburgo está lleno de Closes, lo que serían como callejones que dan acceso a las viviendas.

Este es uno de los más bonitos, El nombre le viene, porque aquí en el sglo XVI se encontraban las caballerizas reales del cercano palacio de Holyrood.

Great question for many of us when it comes to the final crop

 

Yes I did get the entire Owl in frame (inc. wings)

& Yes he was extremely close

 

But also 'yes' we've uploaded countless 'fly-by' Short Eared Owl shots recently

 

So an unconventionally close crop to create something

different

 

Good idea?

Bad idea?

 

There's no right answer

In the end it was just 'my idea'

"Why do birds suddenly appear

Every time you are near?

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you"

 

This is not exactly what this Golden-headed Cisticola was singing, but close... (-;

Having some helios fun while there are flowers around,

View from my front porch.

Beautiful Golden Ears Mountains

 

BC Coastal Mountains

Canada

Stranded in the spooky town

Stop lights are swaying and the phone lines are down

The floor is crackling cold

She took my heart, I think she took my soul

With the moon I run

Far from the carnage of the fiery sun

 

Driven by the strangle of vein

Showing no mercy, I'd do it again

Open up your eyes

You keep on crying

Baby I'll bleed you dry

Skies are blinking at me

I see a storm bubbling up from the sea

 

And it's coming closer

And it's coming closer

 

Your shimmy shook my boat

Leaving me stranded all in love on my own

Do you think of me?

Where am I now

Baby where do I sleep?

It feels so good but I am old

2000 years of chasing taking its toll

 

And it's coming closer

And it's coming closer

Crazy Tuesday.

Plastic Bubble Wrap.

Image taken in Charnwood, Leicestershire. Very close encounter with one of the local Buzzards on my daily walk, still haven't found where they are nesting but must have passed close today.

(They Long to be) Close to You

www.youtube.com/watch?v=M268Csnue9I

 

Why do birds suddenly appear

Every time you are near?

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you

 

Why do stars fall down from the sky

Every time you walk by?

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you

 

On the day that you were born the angels got together

And decided to create a dream come true

So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair

Of golden starlight in your eyes of blue

 

That is why all the girls in town

(Girls in town)

Follow you

(Follow you)

All around

(All around)

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you

 

On the day that you were born the angels got together

And decided to create a dream come true

So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair

Of golden starlight in your eyes of blue

(Girls in town)

Follow you

(Follow you)

All around

(All around)

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you
