As difficult as it is to take shots into the sun, I feel that you have always got to try, otherwise you will never remember the reason why you are there, to convey the beautiful scene...
Difficult to say how this happens but not unusual. Flies appear to be unable to reverse out of this situation either becoming intoxicated from the nectar or simply held in this position unable to get out ?
It is difficult to get close enough to a branch to photograph it as they are so far off the ground! The pinecones and fronds are so delicate and tiny! Amazes me.

It is difficult to believe that Wren is the commonest breeding bird in Britain with 11 million pairs. Most other common British birds such as Blackbird (5.1 million pairs), Robin (7.4 million), Woodpigeon (5.2 million) and House Sparrow (5.3 million) are restricted to certain habitats. But Wrens can breed in almost any habitat, from wetlands and woodlands to the high moorlands, and you donât see many other âcommonâ birds on the moors. I photographed this one high on the Peak District moors in the heather after a light fall of snow.
And the title; "Winter Wren?" Winter Wren was the âofficialâ name of our British Wren for a brief period around 2010 when we were trying to standardise bird names to reflect their global distribution. I remember an American once said to me it was arrogant of the British to simply call this "the Wrenâ when it was one of many wren species, and that it had a perfectly good name to differentiate it from the others; Winter Wren. But recent DNA work has resulted in the American Winter Wren being split into two species, that are both different from the one we get in Britain and Europe. So the âofficialâ name is now Eurasian Wren, which was named first by Linnaeus and so retains the scientific name Troglodytes troglodytes, while the Winter Wren is now T. hiemalis in the east of America, and Pacific Wren (T. pacificus) in the west (Hiemalis means "of the winter", because this species remains in the northern forests of the USA and Canada whereas the similar House Wren tends to migrate south). There was strong evidence of reproductive isolation between the two American species and it was calculated that Pacific Wren and Eurasian Wren last shared a common ancestor approximately 4.3 million years ago.

Fuji X-Pro1 plus Helios 44M-7 wide-open. I have been a keen cyclist almost all of my life. Years ago I had sold already my Italian racing bike (hand-made and beautiful). That was difficult. Age-wise, I am now at a stage where I have to consider my physical limitations and, perhaps also, road safety. I am going to sell this velo as well (I had it for 25 years). There still is our car, but otherwise I will be a pedestrian (with a camera).
I consider street photo one of the most difficult styles of photography as your subject is constantly changing. You are not capturing a bridge or a river or a colorful fall forest. You are capturing moments from the city, an urban scenery, you are capturing expressions of random people while they are not posing for you, people doing their every day thing. So quite often I am trying to focus on something static on the street, something that caught my eye and then wait until the "right people" get into my frame. I think I got lucky on this one, as it felt like these 2 guys were just leaving the area after not finding what they were looking for (404 error, web administrators may get the joke).

(Laniarus aethiopicus) B28I1551 Castle Forest - Central Kenya
This bird is a real challenge : shy enough and always staying in the shade - so, to get the good contrast between white and black is difficult
....for me anyways, but thought it turned out not so bad. Shot through a layer of plastic...(still waiting for daughter while she talk to priest about rehersal & wedding the 8th in my yard)

Yes, it is difficult to judge and, perhaps, it is better not to. What you see is a place that is central to Liverpool: in the background and dominating the image is the Anglican Cathedral of 1978. In the foreground we have the Oratory of 1829, originally a mortuary chapel to St James Cemetery. Continuing this view you would look into Rodney Street in Liverpool's even older Georgian quarter. The Oratory was built in the shape of a Doric temple, that is in the architecture of the Greek revival style. The Cathedral however, is a monument of the revival of medieval Gothic architecture. The concepts of this enormous structure - its is one of the largest religious buildings on this planet, were produced before WWI. However, I can only speculate as to why, in the 20th century, medieval ideas were revived and, also, why it was felt necessary to build something of this enormity. Mind you, the Cathedral was full at least on one religious occasion - when in the aftermath of the Hillsborough Disaster of 1989 (you may remember that 97 Liverpool supporters were crushed to death in Sheffield's football stadium) the fans of Liverpool Football Club came to the Cathedral to mourn their dead.

The Beautiful Mess that is the world right now...we don't know quite where to draw our attention with the constant news cycle and sense of pain and suffering all around. It's difficult to focus on the beauty of things and the way the light comes through when you are consumed with it. Joy is an act of resistance indeed!
I watched Le Havre by Aki KaurismÀki last night (one of my very favorite directors) and I became a little more hopeful about people even though it's not a documentary. On Criterion Channel and highly recommended.

Taking this seemed fitting, as the meaning sort of applies to my catastrophe with my hard drive. Good news, aside from losing my computer, I did get all my files back! Wooooohoooo! I will definitely remember this journey. ;)
Was difficult getting a pic of this native character... he just wanted to go into preservation mode, by burying into the scrub and curling up into a tight spikey ball.
It became a game of outlast and outwit...
Eventually I had lay quiet for long enough, that "Spike" thought it safe to pop up to see what was going on!
After getting this shot off, I thought it better to leave him in peace rather than possibly causing him any stress.
It was also a good time for me to move, as I was getting eaten alive by the late afternoon insects... next time I'll have to remember to wear insect repellant!

As the days draw in earlier the Northbound train chase routine becomes more difficult. Here train 32 opens up the post Easter exodus ex Brighton behind TR units 01 + 06. As the train was approaching the shadows from the hillside behind were racing towards the train and when it got there there was hardly any light left so I used a monochrome rendition to rescue what I could as there were huge areas of shadows. Despite the borderline result I was quite happy with the lighting effect despite trying to not pay too much attention to the grain extracted from the shadowy areas !.

A difficult image to process, either in bw or colour, as everything is pretty much the same. All the stones have the same colour and the few plants on the edge of the path don't make much difference. Still, I love that little part of Aldeia Da Cuada, the narrow path winding between the cozy looking cottages. I always get a feeling of safety when I look at this scene.
We're in some difficult times...but I'd still like to wish everyone a happy Easter. Easter and Spring are intertwined with hope...which we need in abundance now.
With the situation we're in and sticking around the house for days on end...I couldn't help but try to capture some azaleas in my yard last weekend.

This white-throated kingfisher (Halcyon smyrnensis) seemed to be having a difficult time dealing with the large scorpion it caught. The white-throated kingfisher is found across most of southern Asia.

For the SoS group: "portray the name of a music band"
This was such a difficult challenge, and had me scratching my head! To find a band I listen to and whose music I have collected ... with a name that I could create an image for! I finally decided on a group I first heard in the 1990s, and although they have broken up I still enjoy their gentle, thoughtful lyrics and music. And I have a whole lot of ivy in pots and in the garden too đ

2020 has been a strange and difficult year for everyone. For the whole year I have barely been more than 10 miles from my home, so it's been quite a challenge to keep my photographic enthusiasm alive.
I thought I'd post a few pictures from throughout the year that I haven't previously shared, to celebrate the new year.
The end of October brought a few storms and much rough weather. This minimal image was taken on one of the rare calm days we had that month. Porth Nanven and the Brisons, St Just, Cornwall.
The difficult part of taking pictures of some insects is that they scurry so quickly, making it difficult to get a clear image. This little critter was zipping up the tall stalk of a flower and I followed his progress all the way to the top. Once there, he sat motionless. Only his antennae waved back and forth as he surveyed his new kingdom. I could imagine him shouting...I AM KING OF THE MOUNTAIN!
Each winter I crave lettuce and tomatoes - the most difficult and expensive produce that you can buy in our tiny grocery store. Usually the lettuce is spoiled, to the point that half of it goes into the trash bin - and the tomatoes are hard and tasteless. Well this year I have solved that problem. This year I have two hydroponic gardens up and running. Just a few minutes ago I plucked a large sized cherry tomato, and enjoyed a homegrown tomato with good old fashioned taste.
In this image you see just a few of the tomatoes that are growing on one of my plants. I have been told these plants will keep me in a continuous supply for up to nine months - so I should be good until spring!
In another indoor garden, I have romaine lettuce, green onions, and herbs. Now I can garden in the darkest days of winter. :-)
But rather difficult to keep up with keeping the rooms tidy and clean. And not to speak of costs for heating...
âOwning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joyâthe experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.â

Yesterday I had a very interesting conversation with my sister and we were discussing why we didn't go to our High School reunions and they were for the opposite reasons. I didn't want to go because I didn't like who I was in High School. It's funny how you can look at someone and see so many wonderful traits that they themselves may miss. Remember this when thinking of your shortcomings and flaws, most people won't see those, they will see the good. Be brave, own your truth and be a beacon for others.
