This Red-headed Woodpecker showed up a couple of times during the Backyard Breakfast we held recently.
He would land in this tree way in the back of our yard, sit for a minute and then, after weighing the options and making those hard decisions, he'd fly down either the suet feeder, or join the squirrels and other birds who were foraging for treats tossed into the yard.
It's sometimes a tough decision whether to pack my big telephoto lens on a multi-day backpacking trip. But I'm often glad I do since it allows me to create more simple and focused landscape photos and capture wildlife. This shot was taken as a 200mm pano as dappled sunrise light filtered into the scene. The spotlight really brought this distant strand of larch to life!
It feels good to start making plans for fall and I'm super excited for the Outsiders Telluride Conference Oct 2-4! With things starting to open back up, this will be the perfect time to get back out, network with others, and experience the prime fall colors. We'll have amazing speakers like Nat Geo's Paul Nicklen, Sean Bagshaw, and Sapna Reddy! You'll save $100 with code SWINDLER100. Learn more here:

Something a little different for today. I hope you don't mind a break from the waves, the sunsets and La Jolla. Can you remember what it was like before Navigation Systems and Google Maps on your smart phone??

En la vida hay que tomar decisiones que pueden cambiar el rumbo de tu vida y la de los tuyos, el descubrimiento de ese camino y la incertidumbre del que pasara me hace sentirne vivo. Alla vamos farito.
No sabia si publicarla, es de fonde armario, pero esos haces me encantan...

Can't decide between these TWO ...
Our "Yellow and Blue" ... (color pallet #1) ...
a) The "edgy", quirky "INFRARED" effect ...
or
b) The "full color" bright tones ...
hmmmmmmmm ...

Grey overcast skies after rain and more to come. A Kestrel looks out on his/her territory against the grey sky and them takes off - hopefully for a successful hunt!
This Brown Thrasher flew up to this post to get a good look at its options. Steal a few nuts from the Goodie Bowls, forage under the birdfeeders, or check to see what might be next to the water fountain - because lots of things get dropped there by clumsy birds and squirrels.
It's not often I see a Thrasher perched up high like this, so I was glad to be able to get shot of one doing "something different."

handed to me first thing this morning, after being carefully crafted late last night.
"dear mother: please comprehend that i'm old enough to take care of myself. i have handled lots of things on my own like when i sliced my finger at taylor's house. i'm very responsible in my actions and decisions. i handle peer pressure very confidently. i think i'm ready to go up a step. it's time to face the fact that i'm not a baby any more and i'm becoming a young woman. you have to give me challenges that i have to take on to succeed as a very ready person. if i can prove to you that i can do this, it would mean the world to me. i would like to now ask you if i could please go skating with three other friends at skateworld from 7-9. that's all i'm asking. you could stay in your car in the parking lot or go to goodwill, but you cannot come in. that would totally embarrass me and my friends. hey, it's only two hours. i'm sure you and i can both handle it. i hope you make your decision carefully."

A grab shot of a male Wood Duck as he vocalizes to a nearby female who was checking out the old woodpecker nest in the yard. Shot straight out the open window and this is a huge crop with some noise reduction done in ON1 from the RAW file. Darn good considering how far away he was.
Christmas Hill, Kuitpo Forest, South Australia. I just kept rolling off the shots, there were hundreds of butterflies & wildflowers.
On the night of January 27th, we lost one of the sweetest, goofiest and purest souls in the world.
Tommie wasn't feeling well the past few days and around 1AM he started laying on one side and started heavily breathing with mouth fully open. It was one of the worst things I have ever seen. We rushed to the animal hospital. There the vet told me his temperature was way to low and his heart was beating to fast. She also told us that he could get medications, but it wouldn't help that much. It would be only a matter of time that he would be rushed to the hospital again, so we tearfully had to make the decision to put Tommie out of his misery.
Tommie thank you for giving me the best laughs, cuddles and joy! We will miss you endlessly🌈

What kind of tree am I?
Japanese Maple with the shredded decorative leaves....or am I a Dwarf Alberta Spruce?
Part of me says Maple cause it's sooo showy and this sheltered spot is ideal for it...but part of me says "think of winter! the snow on the branches of an evergreen will be wonderful"
Standing here pretending to be either did not help.
We are the creative force of our life, and through our own decisions rather than our conditions, if we carefully learn to do certain things, we can accomplish those goals.

The inclement weather on 31st July 2023, influenced the decision to head to Hellifield to photograph the weedkilling train from Carlisle, instead of getting soaking wet somewhere on the Settle-Carlisle line. Unfortunately, the faux Crompton Class 69 was declared unfit to work the train, with worn brake-blocks, resulting in a Class 66 substitute. 66737 'Lesia' is framed in the Midland Railway ironwork during an all too brief bright spell.
