The Woodcreepers look and behave like large Treecreepers, but they are unrelated. They are part of that early offshoot family of songbirds called the suboscine passerines which have a different structure of the syrinx from all other songbirds. The syrinx is the structure that enables songbirds to sing. Woodcreepers are only found in the Neotropics and their nearest relatives are the Ovenbirds (like Rufous Hornero). There are about 60 species of Woodcreeper that are similar and can be difficult to tell apart but this one is Narrow-billed Woodcreeper (Lepidocolaptes angustirostris). The scientific name rather boringly translates as narrow-billed scale-pecker. I photographed this one at Costanera Sur near Buenos Aries.
A difficult shot, into the sun and a lot to think about. Anyway, it was a lovely summer morning in the lanes of Malhamdale.
Always difficult to find a different angle at the much photographed Kimmeridge Bay so I thought I photograph it from the top of the inland ridge with the village itself in the foreground. The sun is setting over Tyneham Cap in the distance on a misty evening.
the ford gt makes me use big letters for introducing it.
as a man you cannot get closer to the car without feeling the rising tension and your accelerated heartbeat.
the gt is the most macho car you can buy today.
and it´s very difficult to do a good shot of a complete gt - if you ever tried it you know what i mean ;)

Bright and colorful male is difficult to miss: bright grayish blue with yellow or orange underparts (depending on subspecies) and a small orange splotch on the back. Female is comparatively dull, but her yellow-suffused underparts and rump are still quite distinctive. Like other flowerpeckers, forages actively, often hovering in front of blossoms or while gleaning from foliage. Inhabits forested edges (less common in dense forest) from lowlands up to foothills; often quite close to human habitation. Gives a variety of buzzy or sharp notes.

It is difficult to express the beauty and vastness of this lake with pictures. No pictures can do justice to this. I feel like going there again and again every time I see pictures of this high altitude Himalayan lake. Pangong Tso, a massive (604 square km) high altitude (4,225 m or 13,862 ft) salt water lake with turquois blue water surrounded by mountains. Feels like a painting of dream.
These lakes are one of the proof that Himalaya actually came from the Tethys Sea. That is the reason why most of the lakes in this region are really ancient and are massive salt water bodies. The remaining of the Tethys Sea where the sea water was trapped during the uprising of Himalayas something like 200 million years ago. That is why these are very different of the other glacial lakes of Himalayas.
I believe I didn't do justice to the natural beauty of this location in my photographs. I should have spend more time there. Should have done more sunset and sunrise photographs. But this was one of my favorite images from the Pangong Tso. In this image I can see all the different colors of the lake, a bit of scattered cloud is always nice. This place being very dry; the sky is always clear and bright with no pollution and humidity to make it look pale.
I should have done some MilkyWay here. I also marked some of the sunrise locations. Maybe next time. :)

Have a nice weekend.
Hope you will enjoy the picture.
Any suggestions or criticisms are always welcome.
comfort on difficult days,
smiles when sadness intrudes,
rainbows to follow the clouds,
laughter to kiss your lips,
sunsets to warm your heart,
hugs when spirits sag,
beauty for your eyes to see,
friendships to brighten your being,
faith so you can believe,
confidence for when you doubt,
courage to know yourself,
patience to accept the truth,
love to complete your life.

This metal and glass tree is a kind of alternative, probably fairly short term memorial. I'm finding it quite difficult to make up my mind about it. I like that it's colourful, set in the garden of a craft centre in a pleasant landscape, and secular. On the other hand I feel slightly uncomfortable with the idea of death as a business opportunity.

It's difficult to resist the urge to take a picture of a Dandelion with a maco lens. They reveal much about the lenses characteristics.

Difficult to balance light and shadow here combined with the texture, something i have only just started to use having seen excellent examples in my contacts pics. Of course i love the old barn, the house was a bonus!
IC 342 (also known as Caldwell 5) is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Camelopardalis relatively close to the Milky Way. Despite its size and actual brightness, its location in dusty areas near the galactic equator makes it difficult to observe, leading to the nickname "The Hidden Galaxy"

One of my photographic goals has been to take pictures of individual snowflakes. This has been a particularly difficult goal to achieve due to a number of reasons. First, the temperature and weather conditions need to be JUST right to create visible snowflakes, worthy of photographing (this is not often). Second, it doesn't snow every day (even if it has snowed often). And third, most of the times it has snowed, it was during a time that I could not get out with my camera. Either it was night time, during school hours, when I had an appointment, or when I was sick (and I was sick for six weeks straight this year, so this was often). I figured I would just have to wait until next year to get the shots I so desired. But winter wasn't done with us yet, even if it was the first day of spring! (After all, I was born in a blizzard at the end of March!) A friend of mine out in West Jersey posted a picture on Facebook of an individual snowflake which got me ALL EXCITED!!! I saw her picture during the school day and could not WAIT to get home to my camera and these snowflakes that seemed to be so well-formed! I just had to hope the temperature and conditions were the same by me, after school. I finally got home, and was THRILLED to see they were! My sister and I had a great time looking at and photographing these snowflakes! I'm sure we looked ridiculous sitting in the snow on our front lawn with blankets and towels. I was using a macro lens. The lens has a VERY narrow depth of field. So, if the flakes weren't completely flat and parallel with my lens, only part of the flake would be in focus. This was frustrating. And despite using a macro lens, it was still very difficult to get the flakes in focus. These that I am posting were the best of the crop. More pictures to come! I'll post a few each day. I'm not thrilled with the red background, but maybe someday I can figure out how to change the color in Lightroom.
It's difficult to tell where Kingsand finishes and the neighbouring village of Cawsand begins, and many of the buildings on the far left are actually in Cawsand. The local council has given up trying, and now the sign at the side of the road simply says Kingsand-Cawsand. But until the middle of the 19th century Kingsand was in Devon and Cawsand was in Cornwall. The pretty former fishing villages are on the Rame Peninsula in the far south-east of Cornwall where they overlook Plymouth Sound. In the distance is part of Mount Edgcumbe Country Park, jointly owned by Plymouth City Council and Cornwall County Council.
In the centre of the picture the long dark grey building behind the village is the former Cawsand Fort. This was part of the 19th century naval defences of Plymouth and Devonport and was built on the site of a late 18th century battery. Like several other forts around Plymouth Sound, it has been converted into housing.
The requirement for defences in and around Cawsand Bay first became clear in 1779 when a 66 strong Franco-Spanish fleet anchored there intending to land 30,000 soldiers ashore. The invaders had planned to seize the high ground and bombard Plymouth and the Devonport dockyard. As with the earlier Spanish Armada, storms - plus the arrival of an English squadron - forced the ships to weigh anchor and depart. A battery was then constructed at Cawsand but following the end of the Napoleonic wars the threat subsided.
In the late 1850s a new threat was perceived when the French built the first heavily armoured ocean-going ironclad, "La Gloire". This immediately rendered the Royal Navy's wooden ships obsolete and prompted the British to build a ring of forts around their various dockyards, including the fort at Cawsand, which was on the site of the earlier battery. The British also responded by building their own ironclads, with HMS Warrior and its sister ship, both of which entered service in the early 1860s.
Really difficult to capture these tiny flowers clearly and sharply. I took many photos to get one that was satisfactory.
It is difficult to shoot these adorable tiny birds because they hardly ever stand still. This was shot just before takeoff.
Sorry I’m not around much. I’m fighting pneumonia and it’s been raining A LOT so the photos I take from my windows are in dim light, which my camera doesn’t like.

Very difficult to focus on both of them,
I like the movement of the wing on the Hummingbird Moth,
the female Monarch is on the backdrop with couple bees,
Have a great weekend!
It seems difficult to imagine a steam train running up and down what appears to be a pier, but that is exactly what happened after the Stone Jetty in Morecambe was constructed in the middle of the 19th century. The train picked up passengers from ferry boats from Ireland and the Isle of Man that used to call in at the small station and ferry terminal seen on the left in the distance. The old building is now a very pleasant cafe. A new port at nearby Heysham in the early 20th century meant the end of Morecambe's ambition as a port.
Morecambe used to have two conventional seaside piers in its heyday, as well as a large station on the seafront, but these have now all gone. The Stone Jetty is now effectively the town's pier. It provides outstanding views of Morecambe Bay and the mountains of the Lake District in the distance.
a very difficult composition to make cause I had the idea in my mind but I didn't know how to make it. I just played during hours with photoshop before finding a solution. It really looks like the idea I had of but I'm not entirely satisfied.
Hope you'll like it

Good night !
This tiny bird calls boldly but we found it difficult to find and difficult to photograph. "The scientific name of the Pacific-slope Flycatcher, difficilis, is appropriate. It means "difficult," and this species is extremely difficult to distinguish from the similar Cordilleran Flycatcher." allaboutboids
After around 50 m the trip ended this time. The icy plateau changed into a steep ice gradient and I was on the one hand alone and on the other hand not right prepared to explore this cave further. I was afraid of getting trapped down in the cave because it was almost impossible to move up on this surface without ropes and spurs. However... I will return ;-)!

My camera and I followed this beautiful little bird around from one flowering bush to another until I was satisfied with the shots I took. They are a fast moving and difficult subject to capture, but well worth the challenge.
As the storm continues to ramp up, another train passes by without stopping. NS 4537 leads 23G westbound in very difficult near whiteout conditions.

is giving me trouble ! Trying a new discipline, and Chinese brushes handle in a totally different way from Western brushes - it's going to be a long job if I'm ever going to be proficient !
I think that Woodcock is among the most difficult of British birds to photograph (well). I have been a keen birder since childhood, yet this was the first time I have managed to watch and photograph a Woodcock doing things. It was creeping about in the undergrowth and probing its long bill into the soft earth to find worms, which incidentally it can detect by smell. Woodcocks don't just randomly probe in the hope of connecting with a worm. This one usually kept itself obscured by vegetation but occasionally I got a brief, clear view. Unfortunately it kept its bill low behind this mossy log using its unusually high-set eyes to monitor what was going on around. I did take a number of photographs as I think this was a once in a lifetime opportunity so I may upload a couple more in due course.
It's surprisingly difficult to balance like this. I fell several times.... o.o
