A Majestic and beautiful bird often sighted in forest areas around the country. Spotted two today, but sadly missed the flight shots of both of them in a second due to silly distractions. The bird was eyeing a prey in its style of watching from a perch. After a while it took off and disappeared.

Thanks in advance for your views / comments. Much appreciated.

See where this picture was taken. [?]

Obviously I desaturated everything but the eye colors. I just never noticed how different the color patterns of my eyes are. I wonder if the color splotches indicate a lack of some vitamin...

I made a little trip out to Trinity River NWR this morning and the Red-eyed Vireos seemed to be everywhere singing away. The problem was that they were all way up in the trees. I eventually came across this one that wasn’t quite as low I would have wished for but still not too bad for a couple of quick photos.

Gracias por vuestras visitas y comentarios. / Thanks for your visits and comments.

This is my eye, heavily tweaked in photoshop but the star was already there!

This has had levels changed, saturation change and a slight contrast tweak.

Juvenile Andean condor (Vultur gryphus), a threatened species, soaring in the updrafts from Cerro Palomares, Patagonia. The cliffs of Cerro Paomares, north of Punta Arenas, generate strong updraft winds as they heat up in the sun and the condors like to breed in the cliffs and soar in the winds. I scrambled down a steep cliff face in howling winds with all my camera gear (which helped weigh me down so I wasn't blown off ), but the effort to get eye to eye with the condors was worth it.

Rednex - Cotton Eyed Joe.

Dark-Eyed Junco.

A sparrow-sized bird at 5 to 6 1/2 inches long. Variable but generally slate-gray or gray-brown above with a white abdomen sharply separated from the gray of the breast and a pink bill. The white along the sides of the tail shows in flight. Some birds have buff flanks. Birds of the dominent western form, the "Oregon Junco", have black hoods and rufous backs. The form breeding in the Black Hills, the "White-winged Junco", has white wing bars and more white in the tail.

Their habitat consists of coniferous or mixed forests. They winter in fields, gardens, city parks and roadside thickets.

They range from Alaska to Newfoundland and south to Mexico in the west and Georgia in the east. They winter south to the Gulf Coast and into northern Mexico.

The Cape white-eye feeds mainly on insects, but also soft fleshy flowers, nectar, fruit and small grains. It readily comes to bird feeders.

First real successful self macro of my eye!

A close-up of a mystical lacquered tiger's eye, hyper-detailed and reflective, showing intricate mother-of-pearl inlay patterns swirling within the iris geometric floral motifs, traditional Korean cloud curves, and shimmering crescent moons. The tiger’s eye glows softly with iridescent highlights pale blue, violet, and gold capturing both wisdom and ancient memory. The surrounding fur is made of nacre scales, finely patterned and glowing faintly in ambient moonlight. Photorealistic rendering, shallow depth of field, surreal but poetic tone

...with a single grey seal on the beach.

A nice and surprising encounter during our morning walk with the dogs.

Our dogs stayed at a safe distance, of course.

I didn't want to scare the seal.

I don't know about this.

All I know is that I'm obsessed with trees

and I've decided to write an ode to trees for my creative writing class.

A nod to The Shining.

My friend Beatrice in a barn :D

I had a hard time making a positive ID on this butterfly because two others, the Eyed Brown and the Appalachian Brown, are really similar. Everything matches up with the description of the Northern Pearly-Eye though, including the fact they like to land on tree trunks and search out the sap. Photographed in the La Crosse Blufflands.

This picture, apart from other difficulties including my lack of experience was especially hard to capture due to the person being photographed being a six year old girl which was bursting with energy named Alitia

I remember reading The Bluest Eye in sophomore year, I loved it.

This is for Pecola.

Macro Mondays:It's Alive

From the series Hay Bales: I tried to capture the hay bales on the fields around Hurecourt in several different ways. This eye catcher is one of them, 2015.

Hurecourt is a very small viillage with about 55 inhabitants in Haute-Saône, France.

See the following website for a small but beautifull camping in Hurecourt: www.camping-la-jonquille.eu/

Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments.

Inspired by the poster I saw for the film The Eye. I have no idea what the film is about but I loved the picture and had to have a go of re-creating it

Thanks to truthwithelegance for his advice when I was editing this shot.
