My first mockingbird. Never thought how great the excitement would be to capture a shot on this bird!
Thank you for your visit and comments!
In this shot I tried to capture the excitement and wonder of stepping into the heavily forested and green area of the Reales Alcázares de Sevilla or Royal Alcazars of Seville.
The story of the awakening of a Blue Poppy.
The BLUE HIMALAYAN POPPY opens up, like a Siamese fighting fish (also sometimes colloquially known as the Betta)…
It displays its wavy blue robe and a glimpse of inner secrets already.
I have to hurry, because once they start unfolding, there is NO stopping them!
Flowers from my garden...
Meconopsis grandis, known as the blue poppy, is the national flower of Bhutan.
Blue poppies do not produce opium.
In the late spring of 1922, a British Himalayan expedition, led by legendary mountaineer George Leigh Mallory, discovered the plant on their failed attempt to reach the summit of the then-unconquered Mount Everest. The flowers were introduced to much excitement at the Royal Horticultural Society's spring show of 1926. However, since they are difficult to grow, the species has become fabled over the decades.
Himalayan varieties have the reputation for being notoriously difficult to grow from seed, but when germinating new plants, using fresh seeds will help.
It comes as a surprise to many that poppies are available in shades of blue.
Have a lovely day and thanx for your visit, M, (*_*)

test shot from my new (used) canon 5d classic! i was able to snag a near mint condition one on ebay for super cheap over christmas. i’m so excited to finally be shooting full frame! :’) i’m very emotional right now, haha. the tones & colors are so true, rich and natural sooc. i can’t wait to really get out there and work with it on a legit shoot soon. i’m gonna have to wait a bit, though. i have some new batteries in the mail (the canon ones it came with are very old and aren’t holding a charge well.) but, yeah. i am over the moon with excitement.
This look has something mysterious. I can look at it for ours. The hair, make-up, colours: everything fits. I like it.
I’ve had the highest mountains
I’ve had the deepest rivers
You can have it all, but life keeps moving
I take it in, but don’t look down
‘Cause I’m on top of the world, hey
I’m on top of the world, hey
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I’ve been waiting to smile, hey
Been holding it in for a while, hey
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I’m on top of the world
♥
There's always an excitement waiting for the color in the sky to pop. It got really red that night, but I was quite happy with this shot while waiting for the real burn.
"Pelican Excitement" by Patti Deters. This huge Brown Pelican pelican (pelecanus occidentalis) was hanging around a marina and would get very excited when the crew would toss fits guts into the water. She would go absolutely crazy trying to be the first to get the free food. Fun to see. This was photographed in Florida near Historic Spanish Point just south of Sarasota. Fun Fact: The tropical Brown Pelican is the State Bird of Louisiana. A light texture has been applied for artistic effect.

I, like most people from this area, have visited this location countless times. But when you're with people who are seeing it for their first time, it's a whole new experience. Especially when those people have traveled great distances and you get to see the excitement in their eyes.
I'm beside myself with excitement today!!
I'm bound to upload some Christmas Day photos, but for now I'd like to wish all my lovely friends on Flickr a very Merry Christmas! ^_^ xXx
I've not seen one of these for ….hmmm…over 40 years and never expected to see one in our garden!
Fortunately it stayed put as I threw down the gardening gear and ran indoors grabbed the camera, and got down on my knees and elbows in glorious Devon mud!
No upper wing shots but it was so great just to see this beautiful clouded yellow butterfly :o)
The staff gave Titan, the raccoon, a tub filled with water. He is ordinarily so calm that it was especially amusing to see him jumping around with joy as he waded around.
I was quite excited as I left Durham last Friday for a long weekend at Topsail Island and a chartered fishing trip off the coast... I just knew that there was a tuna, dorado, or blue out there with my name on it. My excitement was tempered somewhat because I knew Hurricane Leslie was churning only a few hundred miles out to sea. Leslie was actually downgraded to a tropical depression late that Friday, though that's still no consolation. Such storms are still quite powerful and potentially destructive, and often whip the ocean into a frenzy... sure enough, we got the call at 5 am the next morning from the boat captain. I rarely get calls that early in the morning that are good news, and as far as our fishing trip was concerned, this one followed suit... small craft advisories were out, with 8-foot swells where the Topsail Sound and the Atlantic meet. Even a fair-sized boat would likely capsize in those conditions... and the next day was destined to be worse. Oh, well, better safe than sorry... and this is far from being the first of such a letdown. In Septembers past, vacation plans have often come to a screeching halt, particularly because September is a very active month for Atlantic storms.
North Carolina is no stranger to hurricanes... historically, it has been the target of some of the most destructive storms ever recorded. Those storms are often the added "insult to injury" from lesser, though still impactive hurricanes that occurred within a few weeks earlier. We were set for a Labor Day weekend at Topsail Island in 1996, the very day Hurricane Fran came ashore. A 12-foot storm surge and high winds did incredibly extensive damage to the island, but not just there. Hurricane Bertha had hit the state a few weeks earlier, leaving an awful lot of rain in its wake... the ground was still saturated when Fran dumped 16-inches of rain in Durham. With sustained winds in excess of 70-mph as it approached the central part of the state, it didn't take Fran long to uproot thousands of oaks, poplars, and pines from the compromised soil. I had worked rather late that Friday, and I remember it was a somewhat harrowing drive home with trees laying across the interstate highway... I'd never seen anything like that before. I spent that night awake for the most part, listening to transformers explode throughout the city. The power stayed out at my place for over two weeks before it was restored. The next day, and for days afterward, I went, with chainsaw in hand, to clear roofs of fallen trees and to set out tarps over the damaged structures. Two years later, Hurricane Floyd would follow similar conditions set up by Hurricane Dennis as it dumped 15-inches of rain throughout the state. Floyd moved fast through the state, but not before it dropped an additional torrent of 19-inches, exceeding the 500-year flood conditions for the Tar River, as well as the Neuse, Roanoke, Waccamaw, New, and Cape Fear rivers. The resultant flood devastated eastern North Carolina... the Coast Guard performed some 1700 fresh water rescues, mostly of people stranded on rooftops as the flood surged. My church set up a huge tent, afterwards, as an outdoor kitchen using catering equipment to feed folks in one of the worst hit areas, Belvoir... it stayed up and in use until that December.
Though we didn't go fishing this weekend, the weather did improve for a good time at the beach, though this ominous sky hanging overhead on Friday evening would indicate otherwise. There's still a fish with my name on it out there, and its days are numbered, destined for a charcoal grill and some mesquite smoke... but that's a story for another time.
Get excited and enthusiastic about you own dream. This excitement is like a forest fire - you can smell it, taste it, and see it from a mile away.

I was just at the edge of our yard which backs up to dense woods, trimming some of the thorny bushes so I wouldn't get scratched when I mow the lawn. Moments after coming back inside, this bear came out of the very spot I was working. Wandered around the yard and then went back the way it came.
