This is the second photography from the 'Wow Norfolk' afternoon in September 2015. We had found a new footpath, behind Cley village, that led to the sea, eventually. Birds singing, sun on the autumn reeds, perfect light.
" And I shall have some peace there, For peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veil of morn, To where the cricket sings,
Where midnights all a glimmer, And noon a purple glow,
And evenings filled with linnets wings "
{William Butler Yeats}
This stream comes from a spring that cascades out from under a boulder high up on the ridge in the distance. It plays it own special music as it tumbles down the mountain where it joins many other such streams, eventually forming the great Vartry river which enters the port of Wicklow 20 miles to the south east.
The lone Mountain Ash stands and watches its passing as it has done for so many years.
A wild and a beautiful place.

Gate of Ploce, the eastern entrance to Dubrovnik’s Old Town, Croatia
The gate is constructed on the same principle as the western gate (Pile), with external and internal portals, a stone bridge over the moat and a wooden bridge on the pickup.
The outer portal of Gate of Ploce was built in 1450, on plans by Simon della Cava. The inner portals are crowned with the head of St Blaise (in the photo), and are built in the Romanesque style.
Saint Blaise is the patron saint of the town of Dubrovnik and the protector of the historic Republic of Ragusa. He was a physician and bishop of Sebastea in historical Armenia, transitioning from a healer of physical ailments to a "physician of souls". Legend has it that when the Governor of Armenia began persecuting Christians, Blaise hid in a cave up in the mountains, where he established a miraculous rapport with wild animals until he was eventually found out and killed by his persecutors. Christians often turn to Saint Blaise for healing miracles.

Golf ball to golf ball, however, are just puffballs that eventually dissolve.
This was its favorite perch and would eventually return to it, after several tries I finally got it landing with a fish. Since it was distant it has a fair crop to the image.
Thanks D for your help it is working again I can now save in jpeg..

Mother alligator coaxing one of her babies to join the others in the pod. I was watching as another alligator approached; the Mum eventually attacked the intruder - so protective. Cullinan conservation area, west of Houston, Texas. 3/9/23. Enlarge so the infant can be better seen in front of the mother's snout.
The Bressanone (Brixen) Cathedral was built in 980. Eventually, after two fires, the Romanesque design with its three naves and two front towers was constructed (around 1200). A Baroque design was later constructed in 1745-1754.
The Bressanone Cathedral's cloister is one of the most important monuments of art in South Tyrol. The cloister is famous in particular for its Gothic frescoes. It was originally built in pre Romanesque times but later redesigned in Romanesque and Gothic style.
A cloister (from Latin claustrum, "enclosure") is a covered walk, open gallery, or open arcade running along the walls of a building.
The attachment of a cloister to a cathedral or church usually indicates that it was part of a monastic foundation forming a continuous and solid architectural barrier that effectively separated the world of the monks from that of the serfs and workmen, whose lives and works went on outside and around the cloister.

Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it.

Barred Owl has just dived down into long grass in vain attempt to capture a meadow vole. The owl was eventually successful on third try.
Large, long-legged raptor of open habitats. Often walks on the ground or perches conspicuously on a fence post or telephone pole. Note dark cap, pale neck, and dark body. Face color varies from orange-red to pale pink, contrasting with pale grayish bill. In flight, look for conspicuous white flashes in wings and tail. Feeds mainly on lizards and snakes. Widespread from the southern U.S. to the southern tip of South America, typically in open fields, deserts, or beaches. Formerly considered two species, Crested and Southern Caracara. (eBird)
This bird was being harassed by a Venezuelan Troupial (a very large oriole), and was not really pleased by the attention. He was watching it coming in from the left again, but he refused to give up his perch and the troupial eventually moved on.
Aruba. April 2012.
Common paper wasps, Polistes humilis, tending their eggs and embryos.
I have always been wary of wasps and had never tried to photograph them before. I decided to try to photograph these paper wasp nests. At first, I used a telephoto lens at a distance of about 2m (6.6.ft). Eventually, I took photos within about 0.3m (1ft) of the nest with a macro lens. For more information see:

I have not been on Flickr much. I am having trouble finding the time. I shall try to comment and post more often.
Newly fledged Euarasian Siskin [Spinus spinus]
This little cutie was following his father’s every move, at the feeders down at The Pixies.
It was comical, watching him trying to stay right next to Dad, but obviously had other concerns on his mind - SEEDS!
When the little guy eventually got the idea that he would be feeding himself, he perched on a feeder, trying some sunflower hearts. It looked like he was spitting them out as soon as he had one in his tiny wee beak. As it turns out, the seeds are just a little too big for him! Eventually, he figured out that he could take a bite then drop the the rest...
Thrilled to have seen this wee baby!

Upper Packrat Trail, Tilden Nature Area, Berkeley, CA.
This Brown Creeper was doggedly picking apart the thick layers of spiderweb and proteinaceous spider silk with persistence, and eventually was able to snatch the crown jewel behind the structure.
Eventually, I found my spot. Sitting down as a breath of relief escaped my lungs. A cool breeze collecting the sea foam at my feet. These driftwood creatures of the ocean sat down with me to praise the rising sun. The sunrise did come and it dispelled my worries with warm rays of light. Almost blinding. However, it would only last a short while. For the clouds were vengeful and would relentlessly gather to challenge the sun on this morning. I would enjoy this moment knowing that there was still much to come.
Continuing the adventure on the Boneyard Beach. I nearly sent this photo to the recycling bin due to the sun flare along some of the limbs, but after a while I started to enjoy the glow.
A mad dash to my go-to location for when high tide and sunset times coincide. It had been dreary and misty all day, but eventually the sky seemed to give a bit of promise, so I made the arduous five minute drive and thirty second hike to this location, although mindful of the heavy rain that was coming in. All I managed was a couple of quick 'in the bag' shots before it started to rain heavily, no time to choose a better stance or play with long exposures. Shot as a vertical pano to get in the marvelous sky which quickly clouded over.
Eventually all of the pieces will fall into place. Until then, laugh at the confusion,
live for the moment and know that everything happens for a reason.
Happy New Year Flickr friends 🎉

Eventually the rock will erode.
Bright colors will fade away.
The sun will set in the East.
White clouds will turn to grey.
However, look forward.
Order the ice cream cone.
Embrace the awkward.
And learn to live alone.

At a Culzean Country Park, today. This wee guy kept trying to get piece of coconut from a shell, hanging on a tree. He was very wary of me, but was obviously quite hungry. He kept appearing, then flying off, before getting something to eat. Here, he eventually grabbed a piece and I was lucky enough to snap him before he swooped away, again.

Our bones forever in stone
Monuments of life
To dust, as everything must
We fade away in time, oh
Just two ordinary people you and me
Time will turn us into statues eventually

Taking a temporary break from images of Germany to bring some local ones taken yesterday.
Mt. St. Helens, which last erupted 36 years ago and is rebuilding itself with a lava dome inside the crater, ( which eventually will form her new top ) and lot of new growth, including an abundance of wildflowers this year.

The Pieter Boele (1893) can be chartered for groups (max. 55 people) for round trips on the Merwede, around the island of Dordt, trips to Gorinchem, Kinderdijk or Rotterdam.
The home port of this beautiful ship is the historic Wolwevershaven in Dordrecht.
The wool weavers harbor was dug in 1609. This was decided to help solve the problem of the silting up of the New harbor due to flooding. The excavated sand was used to construct quays on both sides, one of which would later be given the same name as the harbor. In the early years, the port was still referred to as The New harbor, which is located south of the wool weavers harbor. The quay was initially named new storage
, named after the place where goods are unloaded and stored.. Eventually the harbor was named after the cloth makers or wool weavers who had settled on the quay. During a meeting in 1645 it was decided to also build houses on the quay. Initially there were fourteen. The image of the wool weavers harbor was determined by the a defensive wall. at the entrance of the harbour, where the Damiate Bridge was laid in 1639. This bridge connects two quays the wool weavers harbor and the Coopers harbor. In the 17th, but especially in the 18th century, the wool weavers harbor increasingly became a place where the elite settled. The area changed from a place of storage and industry into a stately residential area, so that living in a large house on the harbor gradually gave more and more status. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was still a place where the wealthy lived. More than one sixth of the inhabitants of Dordrecht belonged to the well-to-do bourgeoisie or elite. The Wolwevershaven was one of the most affluent streets in the city.
Tulum (Spanish pronunciation: [tuˈlum], Yucatec Maya: Tulu'um) is the site of a pre-Columbian Mayan walled city which served as a major port for Coba, in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo] The ruins are situated on 12-meter (39 ft) tall cliffs along the east coast of the Yucatán Peninsula on the Caribbean Sea in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico.Tulum was one of the last cities built and inhabited by the Maya; it was at its height between the 13th and 15th centuries and managed to survive about 70 years after the Spanish began occupying Mexico. Old World diseases brought by the Spanish settlers appear to have resulted in very high fatalities, disrupting the society, and eventually causing the city to be abandoned.[citation needed] One of the best-preserved coastal Maya sites, Tulum is today a popular site for tourists.
Cornelius Coot is the founder of the city of Duckburg, and a historical hero to the residents of Duckburg.
The Cornelius Coot statue first appeared in the Donald Duck comic Statuesque Spendthrifts (1952) by Carl Barks. Here, Scrooge and the rich Maharajah of Howduyustan compete at building the largest statue of Duckburg's founder, eventually leading to Duckburg being filled with gigantic statues of its founder. Barks re-used Coot's statue in Statues of Limitations (1957) and The Day Duckburg Got Dyed (1957). Afterwards, Coot's statues became a recurring location in the stories, and can be spotted in many comics taking place in Duckburg.
In a later story by Don Rosa, Cornelius was said to be the grandfather of Grandma Duck, which would make him Donald Duck's great-great-grandfather. However, Coot was not related to Donald in Barks' original stories.
We didn't get hammered with some snow like other areas did (and I'm ok with that lol) but we did get enough to make it look like a winter wonderland. My kids went out and played in the snow first thing. I know they are getting a little old for that and it will eventually come to an end but seeing this introduction of snow, our first of the season, was a welcoming sight.
This is my first post in what seems like foreverrrrr. I hope you are all doing well. Life is good here and I will by to check in on you all. Cheers! :)
Eventually this Otter emerged from the water's edge clambering up a prominent large rock which it used as a sprainting site. It then descended and moved rapidly between the rocks disappearing, presumably into its holt in the bank.
Thank you all for your kind responses.
I tried for this shot last weekend but an eastbound never came through. I waited patiently for 90 minutes but eventually it got too dark. So, I went back today and got lucky. I was hoping for an eastbound train while there was enough light in the sky to use the colorful clouds for a backdrop. I hoped. I got :-)
Have a great weekend everyone :-)

Those mystical and mysterious Highlands of Scotland are different every time that you look. My advice with any good location is to keep on going there and eventually it will reward you with something special. Greetings to all my fellow photographers and thank you so much for inspiring me with your beautiul images.
A mob of European Starlings, like the juvenile atop the feeder in the picture, claimed my backyard and the neighbor's yard. Starlings squeaked , fought with each other and chased every living thing from the yard. Eventually, "my hero", a single hungry Blue Jay, one of my favorite birds, cleared the yard of Starlings. They all went to my neighbor's yard hahaha.
Another of the pics that I shot for my 'Masked' exhibition at Gemini Gallery. I think it's finished now, but you can check out some of the pics from it in this album, where I will eventually post the others as well.
Hope you like <3

I wasn't particularly moved by the theme this week. When I first saw the theme, I had so many ideas brewing! But once it came to actually creating a composition with something half way interesting, it was a no go. I eventually settled on this shot.....although I am still not completely satisfied with it. I have the wishy washy decision making of a photographer - it's my curse. Haha!
100x Macro 18/100
Belguim, Brussels
In …. we had a few days in Brussels and enjoyed every minute of it. The accommodation, the food and especially the people were excellent. These images I thought I had lost forever when my old desk-top crashed but I found books of negatives in my loft. I bought a little machine that converted negatives into jpegs. They are not the best in the world but after some editing I was eventually pleased with the results. Brussels was breath-taking, the sharp contrast between new and old architecture was quite amazing and seemingly fitted well together.
SPOILER ALERT: Water eventually wins.
Pigeon Point, between Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz, California. Much more here than just the lighthouse.
I was torn between color and black and white on this shot. Color won out this time, but B&W is cool too, so look for that one in the near future.
Found in Explore January 24, 2023
Found this Shoveler trying to land in a tiny pond and it came flying in to land about 4 or 5 times before eventually landing in this spot here, Awesome birds and I don 't really think I have noticed seeing one before even though I think they are common here : )
I had one of the most exciting butterfly experiences so far yesterday!
Having travelled a little way to a local woods to find the elusive pearl bordered fritillary, I got well and truly lost thanks to my atrocious map reading skills and tramped miles...eventually finding myself on some sort of motor rally track 😨
Heading back uphill, the map finally began to make sense (!) and after nearing my target area I saw the welcome sight of a fellow enthusiast, camera around neck, scanning the ground - thank you Jon!
The area of scrubland the butterflies love is very sensitive as there are caterpillars in the leaf litter and of course food sources need protecting too, so we waited for a long time for one of these beauties to land close enough to the path to photograph well.
Eventually this stunning butterfly chose to rest on the gorse, with its perfect complementary colours. Even better, a large cloud came over just at that moment so it decided to stay put and pose beautifully for a while. What luck!
Apologies for the long write up...but I'm still buzzing with excitement!
