Moments after taking this image I was “dive bombed” by this birds mate, who apparently felt I was too close to the nest (about 10-12 meters ).
"I think the extent to which I have any balance at all, any mental balance, is because of being a farm kid and being raised in those isolated rural areas."
-- James Earl Jones (American actor who has been described as "one of America's most distinguished and versatile actors" for his performances on stage and screen, and "one of the greatest actors in American history")
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

Some pretty intense atmospherics on Lindisfarne last week. Apparently this is caused by the reflection and refraction of light by tiny ice crystals in the atmosphere.
Such big skies up there.
Press L - gives it some more impact.
Abandoned farmhouse above Aberedw, Powys.
The red hand prints in the window were a little concerning!
Une tulipe botanique Dasystemon Tarda dans mon jardin.
Cette petite tulipe botanique vigoureuse et prolifique porte sur chaque tige jusqu'à 6 fleurs en étoiles d'un jaune vif, à extrémité blanche. C'est une très jolie plante de rocaille ou de bordure, dont on attendra impatiemment la floraison solaire, en mars-avril. Elle se cultive sans difficulté au soleil, en terre drainante de préférence calcaire où elle se naturalise facilement.

Bahurupis in Bengal:
Bahurupi artists in West Bengal easily metamorphose into different characters during a performance, but are finding it hard to change their work roles with changing times.“We have to hold on to Bahurupi to survive. Their families don’t have any agricultural land to be able to do farming,” Bahurupi artists like him( male middle aged person) are performers who enact multiple religious and mythological roles and who travel to various villages and towns to perform a sequence of skits over several days.This once-popular folk art form is now vanishing in rural West Bengal.

Reminiscent of a troupe of wide-eyed clowns, Acorn Woodpeckers live in large groups in western oak woodlands. Their social lives are endlessly fascinating: they store thousands of acorns each year by jamming them into specially made holes in trees.
A group member is always on alert to guard the hoard from thieves, while others race through the trees giving parrot-like waka-waka calls. Their breeding behavior is equally complicated, with multiple males and females combining efforts to raise young in a single nest.
Acorn Woodpeckers are medium-sized woodpeckers with straight, spike-like bills and stiff, wedge-shaped tails used for support as the birds cling to tree trunks.
These striking birds are mostly black above with a red cap, creamy white face, and black patch around the bill. In flight, they show three patches of white: one in each wing and one on the rump. Females have less red on the crown than males.
Acorn Woodpeckers are very unusual woodpeckers that live in large groups, hoard acorns, and breed cooperatively. Group members gather acorns by the hundreds and wedge them into holes they’ve made in a tree trunk or telephone pole. Acorn Woodpeckers also spend considerable time catching insects on the wing.
These woodpeckers live in oak and mixed oak-conifer forests on slopes and mountains in the Southwest and West Coast. They’re tolerant of humans, and you can find them in towns where there are acorns and suitable places to store them.
