They can grip, rip, hold and tear flesh, the talons of a hawk are very powerful. The Female Red-tailed Hawk that I encountered discretely shows me hers.
It's a very discrete bird. It showed up at Sunrise, when there was little light, for only a few minutes on top of a far away rock.
It's an endemic, uncommon and localized bird, found only in the Damaraland region and in a small area on the Angolan border.

last year, I took my rolleiflex on a trip to a discrete region of France : Bearn...
that's the last one for this series. see you tomorrow for something different!
On the last day of an epic ten-day trip to TrainFestival 2009 in Michigan, I discretely opened a lower-level window in one of the Capitol Limited's Superliners while the conductors were distracted with the Harper's Ferry station stop.
Yes, we took the Cap to Washington and then took the NEC home to Massachusetts from Michigan. Aside from being more scenic than the Lake Shore Limited in my opinion, it was also cheaper to go the long way.
« Il fait un temps splendide. Le soleil est assez bas, à présent, de sorte que chaque feuillage, presque chaque branche, chaque bosquet, le moindre renflement de terrain, est accompagné dans la lumière par sa discrète réserve d’ombre. » (R.C.)

Here is another shot of the crazy coldest night of this winter in Switzerland. I was happy enough to assist to a moonrise and a sunrise in the same hour. When I drove to La Vue-de-Alpes, I had just one minutes to take 3 shots of this magnificent crescent moon over the alps before the fog covered everything (the same fog that you saw on my last picture). This shot is maybe more "discrete" than the last one, but I really like the gradients and all the textures given by the clouds. There is something dreamlike in this shot ...
I saw these two adorable little bambini sitting in this doorway and I was discretely trying to take a photo of them when all of a sudden their Nonna appeared.
At first I thought she was going to tell me to stop but she motioned for the kids to move into the doorway and encouraged them to have their photo taken by me. I don't know why I was worried, as the Italians love having their photo taken.
I love the little boy in this shot who clearly was not impressed about having to sit there and have his photo taken and I love that nonna is in the shot too!

En photo, il faut savoir improviser. Au petit matin, j'avance discrètement dans la pénombre vers un lieu d'affût repéré la veille. Soudain, un jeune cerf que je n'avais pas vu lève la tête a vingt mètres en renâclant. Je m'immobilise... Il ne semble pas m'avoir identifié et continue calmement son chemin s'arrêtant régulièrement. Je m'assied au sol le temps qu'il s'éloigne. La lumière est bien trop faible pour pouvoir faire des photos.
Je voudrais maintenant rejoindre un lieu d'affut repéré la veille au bord d'une clairière. Malheureusement, l'approche traverse une centaine de mètres de foret ou plusieurs cerfs sortis pendant la nuit sont occupés a bramer, ce que je n'avais pas anticipé ! Il m'est impossible de rejoindre le lieu planifié sans être repéré et créer un mouvement de panique ! Je prends mon mal en patience... Enfin, ne discernant plus plus de cerf ni n'entendant de brame proche, je décide de repartir. J'avance a pas de loup, évitant autant que possible les branches qui pourraient craquer. J'entends maintenant un cerf tout proche qui brame avec puissance. J'essaie d'avancer caché par les troncs de grands arbres. Le bord de la clairière est atteint… mais je suis repéré ! Le cerf s'élance a travers la clairière pour rejoindre la protection de la foret. Juste avant d'y plonger, il s'immobilise, plus ou moins la ou j'espérais ! J'ai juste eu le temps de m'accroupir au sol et de poser le trépied, je mitraille. Il disparait.

In photography, you have to know how to improvise. At dawn, I quietly make my way through the dim light toward a hide I had scouted the day before. Suddenly, a young stag I hadn’t seen lifts its head just twenty meters away, snorting. I freeze… It doesn’t seem to have identified me and calmly keeps walking, stopping regularly. I sit down on the ground and wait for it to move away. The light is far too dim to take any photos.
I now want to reach a hide I located the day before, at the edge of a clearing. Unfortunately, the approach crosses about a hundred meters of forest where several stags, still active after a night of rutting, are bellowing—something I hadn’t anticipated! It’s impossible to reach my planned spot without being noticed and causing panic. I wait patiently… Finally, hearing no more nearby bellows and seeing no silhouettes, I decide to move on. I advance like a wolf, carefully avoiding any branches that might crack. Now I hear a stag very close, bellowing powerfully. I try to move forward, keeping the trunks of large trees between us. I reach the edge of the clearing… but I’ve been spotted! The stag bolts across the clearing toward the safety of the forest. Just before disappearing, it stops—roughly where I had hoped! I barely have time to crouch down, set up the tripod, and fire off a burst. Then it’s gone.
Melbourne has some pretty amazing laneways, many of which are filled with street art. The cobblestoned Hosier Lane is arguably the city’s central point for the street art scene.
I took this photo with some hesitation - trying to be as discrete as possible but also trying to get close.

La nature ne force pas ses couleurs. Elle est discrète et subtile. Sous couvert de gris, elle cache une riche palette où le bleu côtoie l'ocre et l'orange, le vert et toutes leurs nuances. Il faut s'approcher pour voir.

🇫🇷 Fragile violette
Dans la 🌳 hêtraie-frênaie 🌳 fraîche et ombragée, la violette hérissée s’épanouit discrètement, profitant de l’humidité du sous-bois. Son éclat violet attire les pollinisateurs qui assurent la pérennité de ce microcosme délicat. L’arrière-plan flouté renforce cette impression de douceur et met en valeur la fleur : une faible profondeur de champ permet d’isoler le sujet tout en suggérant son habitat. On peut percevoir dans cette image la vulnérabilité de ces milieux forestiers, suspendus à l’équilibre de la lumière et de l’eau.

🇬🇧 Fragile violet
In the cool and shaded 🌳 beech-ash forest 🌳, the hairy violet blooms discreetly, thriving in the moist undergrowth. Its vibrant purple hue draws in pollinators, ensuring the survival of this delicate microcosm. The blurred background enhances the softness and highlights the flower: using a shallow depth of field helps isolate the subject while hinting at its habitat. I see in this image the fragility of these forest ecosystems, balanced between light and water.

American Oystercatcher
The American Oystercatchers are a group of waders forming the family Haematopodidae, which has a single genus, Haematopus. They are found on coasts worldwide apart from the Polar Regions and some tropical regions of Africa and South East Asia. The exception to this is the Eurasian Oystercatcher and the South Island Oystercatcher, both of which breed inland, far inland in some cases. In the past there has been a great deal of confusion as to the species limits, with discrete populations of all black oystercatchers being afforded specific status but pied oystercatchers being considered one single species.
The name Oystercatcher was coined by Mark Catesby in 1731 as a common name for the North American species H. Palliatus, described as eating oysters. Yarrell in 1843 established this as the preferred term, replacing the older name Sea Pie.

Festival des lumières qui a lieu chaque année depuis 6 ans. Pendant 10 jours
les artistes exposent des "sculptures ou créations originales lumineuses" disséminées dans toute la ville. Certaines de ces œuvres ne figurent pas dans mes photos car trop discrètes.
GENEVA LUX (lux meaning light in latin)
Festival of lights which has been held every year for 6 years. During 10 days
the artists exhibit "luminous original sculptures or creations" scattered throughout the city. Some of these works do not appear in my photos because they are too discreet.
Silver-studded Blue / plebejus argus. Westleton Heath, Suffolk. 29/06/18.
A nice bright male found nectaring on Bell Heather a year ago.
He lacked the bold reflective ‘studs’ that give rise to the name of this species. Apparently, the stud marks can vary considerably between individuals. The best this individual could offer were a few random blue scales.
I’m pleased with the blue and purple colour mix that is set against green foliage in the image.

Parc naturel du Mont Bélair. C'est grâce à François Poitras si j'ai pu enfin capter cette espèce discrète. Thanks to François Poitras for helping me localise and shoot that discrete and rare warbler here.
Street scene from London - this gent well positioned below the neon signs - the simple composition works well with the minimal content and the thick frame.
Recently bought the GR3x - loving the freedom to take it with me where ever I go - light, discrete and produces great images.
Living up to its name, this butterfly is the commonest blue found in the British Isles.
While the male has bright blue uppersides, the female is primarily brown, with a highly variable amount of blue.
This is the most widespread Lycaenid found in the British Isles and can be found almost anywhere, including Orkney.
This butterfly forms reasonably discrete colonies measured in tens or hundreds, with individuals occasionally wandering some distance..
This one, which I think is probably a female is the first of the blues to break my duck!

En España, Irati es el río que presta su nombre para dotar de apellido al mayor bosque de hayas de Europa occidental. En la cabecera de este cauce, en los valles navarros de Salazar y Aezkoa, un halo fantástico parece presidir las 17.000 hectáreas de la selva de Irati. Cuando las tonalidades de las hojas de este inmenso hayedo se alían con los abetos blancos, crean una fiesta cromática en medio de un melancólico silencio arropado por la bruma. El boj, el acebo o el endrino son algunos de los arbustos que engalanan un suelo marcado por las hozaduras de jabalíes o las huellas de los discretos gatos de monte.
In Spain, Irati is the river that lends its name to provide the greatest name beech forest in Western Europe. At the head of this river, in Navarre and Salazar valleys Aezkoa a fantastic halo seems to preside over the 17,000 hectares of the forest of Irati. When the shades of the leaves of this immense beech ally with white spruce, create a color party amid a gloomy silence enveloped by haze. The boxwood, holly or blackthorn are some shrubs that adorn a floor marked by hozaduras boar or traces of discrete bobcats.
Brown Argus / aricia agestis. 03/08/18.
This was the most obliging Brown Argus that I have ever encountered and I found it late one hot sunny morning. A gusty breeze made being outside tolerable, but was far from ideal for handheld macro photography! Yet I think it actually worked in my favour by anchoring the butterfly to the Fleabane flower.
In my experience Brown Argus, despite liking to perch regularly, also like to fly frequently from flower to flower. Usually, no sooner have I've set up a shot, than one flies off to land a short distance away, so frustrating.
Not this little beauty though. It clung onto the flower for dear life nectaring, whilst being constantly buffeted by the wind. In the bright sunlight it made several attempts to spread its wings wide and bask, but was thwarted every time.

"Sunset is the daily disappearance of the sun below the horizon as a result of the Earth's rotation. The atmospheric conditions created by the setting of the sun, occurring before and after it disappears below the horizon, are also commonly referred to as "sunset".
The intense red and orange hues of the sky at sunrise and sunset are mainly caused by scattering of sunlight by dust particles, soot particles, other solid aerosols, and liquid aerosols in the Earth's atmosphere.
These enhanced red and orange colors at sunrise and sunset are mathematically explained by the Mie theory or the discrete dipole approximation. When there are no particulates in the troposphere, such as after a big rain storm, then the remaining less intense reds are explained by Rayleigh scattering of sunlight by air molecules." (wikipedia)
ok, I have to admitt: here there is something more than just dust particles, soot particles, other solid aerosols, and liquid aerosols - I hope you will forgive me :-)
enjoy your evening :-)
this rustic, old shed sits on the edge of two properties in our neighborhood. most of the year it blends in more discretely amid trees and brush. But in the winter that red door captures my eye every time I walk or drive by.
Prediction for a severe stormy day verified in spades along the Front Range and High Plains of Wyoming and Colorado.
Here in Cheyenne, I experienced at least 10 separate strong thunderstorms within 20 miles between 3Pm and 9PM. The one shown formed (~7PM) to my northwest passed overhead and moved southeast only to expand back to my south. Low scud at the end of this clip eventually transformed into stratus/fog with quite a lot to thunder heard overhead.
Eventually, another storm combined with the one in this clip around 8PM and dropped 0.80" in 20 minute with small hail (not shown).

Mallard Duck on my backyard pond. A nice surprise to see this friend enjoying the very warm day. He stayed for quite a while. eventually leaving to go his family. He was not deterred from seeing me as I moved discretely around. It has been unusually hot for these parts, weatherman says it will be a long, dry and warm summer. Happy Sunday.
