What a wonderful and unexpected surprise! Because of the bounty of abundant (some might say relentless, lol) sunshine this summer, the autumn Anemones are already blooming in August. This beautiful Anemone deserved to be painted.

We knew that roe deer visited our yard, it was clearly visible in the hoof prints. It was also not to be overlooked that our roses, sedum and other flowers had been snacked in the past few days. But we did not expect that a deer would visit our garden during the day while we were sitting nearby in the kitchen....
I am not generally that successful at bird photography even when I have consciously gone out to see birds. This shot of the chaffinch was pure luck. Mary and I were on a walk recently I had taken a shot or two of some wild flowers . I spotted the bird and took a couple of shots without changing settings not really expecting anything reasonable. In fact I am quite pleased with this one I know it could be sharper but for a grab shot its not too bad . It is very heavily cropped
Hope you are all managing to cope in this strange New World we are living in . Of course I hope you and yours remain well and safe

Who would have expected to ever see her here, silently admiring the sunset from my Baja cabin? I tiptoed quietly, doing my best not to scare her away yet again. The soft click of the Leica shutter was barely audible. She did smile, I swear!
Quelle belle surprise.... Je ne m'attendais plus à un jour la retrouver là, admirant le coucher de soleil depuis ma cabane à Baja. En me glissant doucement devant elle, je faisais de mon mieux pour ne pas l'effrayer une fois encore. Le délicat déclic du Leica fut imperceptible, à l'image de son petit sourire....

'Always Expect the Unexpected' as the 'Colloquial Saying' goes.
This is the second of two recent stunningly beautiful rainbows.
Despite our squally showers this afternoon and this evening - this was the scene at 9.15pm tonight from the rear of my home looking East just before sunset at 21.45pm.
At the time, there was another heavy rain shower as the sun sat low above the horizon in the West to the front of my home.
Quite remarkable!
Wishing you all a Safe and Happy Weekend!
i wish all my flickr-friends and their loved people the best of all and a happy new year.
thank you all for comments, faves, invitations and visiting my stream.
I expect there may be many images of snail shells for this theme, so decided to give my snails a rest this week and photograph my cycad house plant that has just put up a few new leaves - all the tiny 'leaflets' have coiled ends when they first appear that will straighten as the leaf grows. On this particular leaf, one of the little leaflets has grown a bit ahead of the others and shown off the lovely details of its coiled end.
For Macro Mondays theme 'Spiral'.
The image was done as a 5-shot focus stack at f3.5, focusing on the tight coil which was 1cm across.
Some sun beams find the way through the overcast sky at Koh Samui, Thailand! Maybe a tropical storm will be coming soon. The Thai fishermen have moored their boats at the shallow low tide shore.

While taking the previous shot I realised that sunrise was further out of shot than I was expecting, so moved down to the Seine to capture it peeping out from the base of the tower. It was so different to see it at this time of day, with only one couple to share the view!

Here comes the rain to melt the snow. Spring is almost here! :) I liked the way the drops rested on the orange cord. I love me some drop hunting. Hehe ;)

I went out to shoot star trails with a clear night and nearly a new moon. My first few test shots I noticed a green cloud to the East and I am thinking that is going to screw up my star trails. Shortly after that the sky was lit up with the Northern Lights and I was shaking with excitement trying to compose myself to get the shots. Needless to say I did not get star trails this night.

“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back."
― Paulo Coelho
"The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails. " - William Arthur Ward
Two days before I took this image, the harbor was full of big chunks of ice floating and packed into the space between the shores. Waves were crashing and the wind was blowing all the ice onto the shore. Then on this day the ice was blown completely out of the harbor and the water was relatively calm. The winds of change can completely create a new mood for the day. Expect the change and then adjust your sails! Have a great weekend.
