Spent a few hours in the mud at Mistley yesterday, which made me realise that my water resistant trousers aren’t as resistant as first thought! Mistley Quay is known for the swans that gather there, so it was nice to get this shot. Well worth a soggy bottom!!😂
Few birds in Britain can match the visual appeal of the Kingfisher, yet it can be very hard to spot when perched in bankside vegetation.
Totally still River Thames, enabling this reflection shot to be taken. The ExCeL Centre is on the right.
a few days after I had perfect conditionsI was looking for the darker sky but the clouds had other plans. The South view "right"with Saturn and the core of the Milky Way and the North view "left" still in twilight. The centre light pollution is Calgary due east. Antares in Scorpio is on the peak and Saturn is directly above
American robins arrived in force over the past few days, a sure sign that spring has sprung! What a welcome sight it is to see that bright orange belly sitting out in the yard every morning again! Before the year 2000, robins would very rarely return to Winneshiek County before March 15. Since 2000, that first arrival date has shifted forward a week to March 7. Look at where we are today.
This beautiful CANADIAN flew by me within a meter...the sound, the energy, the speed...the rush I felt was staggering...it was only for a few seconds...wow...and then it was gone..."STUNNING"...
A few weeks ago, after a lot of gray days, I made my way to the light on the heights of the Hunsrück and found what I was looking for.
While it was completely clear outside the forest, there was light fog and some hoarfrost in the wood, a wonderful mixture that captivated me for a few hours.
Vor einigen Wochen, nach etlichen grauen Tagen, machte ich mich auf den Weg zum Licht auf den Höhen des Hunsrücks und wurde fündig.
Während es außerhalb des Waldes völlig klar war, hatte es im Wald leichten Nebel und etwas Raureif, eine herrliche Mischung, die mich einige Stunden in ihren Bann zog.

Having a few corners left over from the fun I had with my plastic cubes, I found myself seeing what more I could make of the images. One in particular was very colorful so I started with that one. I duplicated it a bit and that started to look interesting, I then added the yellow from the corner I cut off and that gave a bit of light to the dark. With some nice color going, I was off to look for a bit of texture which led me to a camping trip folder and a window from the side of a wooden building in Maryland. Turns out I really like that shot and went ahead and processed it too. A stone stairway from a monument at Gettysburg Battlefield also caught my eye so I gave it a try and liked it. Many, many times I head down this path and the image just doesn't work so I go find another. Just as many times the whole thing gets shelved and I go do something else. Every so often, as the piece gets developed, I like what I see as was the case here with The Onlookers. All in all, I used four images and included a collage in the first comment.

Hello my amazing friends !
Few years ago, we were living in Algeria and there was this guy ( all the Polish community in Algeria was calling him Dziad) buying used stuff from foreigners and selling it to local people. Usually we would go see him once a year, bringing our stuff (and our neighbors stuff) to sell. Dziad was living near the desert and it was always an awesome trip that I was very excited to on go each year… One particular year, my Dad was asked by a friend to bring « something » to sell… since the favour was asked during a Polish party all my Dad could remember was the name of his friend but he could not remember what exactly the item to sell was. It was all wrapped in a huge plastic bag so only by touching it my Dad was convinced it was a huge tent. Of course, being a man he didn’t want to ask his friend and so we went to sell a huge tent. No need to tell that the « huge tent » was a huge selling success and my Dad got a very good price for it. Returning home, my Dad gave his friend the money telling him how his huge tent was an awesome item to sell… My Dad’s friend was very surprised since it wasn’t a tent at all but an inflatable boat… Since this day, I can’t stop thinking about a Touareg man sleeping in a desert, under a very starry sky in his inflatable boat….
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well.
A few weeks ago, not far from home, I discovered a field of blue lupins with individual sunflowers sticking out.
Vor einigen Wochen entdeckte ich nicht weit von zu Hause ein Feld mit blauen Lupinen, in dem einzelne Sonnenblumen herausragten.

While taking this photo this song was on my ipod:
Time was drifting, this rock had got to roll
So, I hit the road and made my getaway
Restless feeling, really got a hold
I started searching for a better way
And I kept on looking for a sign in the middle of the night
But, I couldn't see the light, no, I couldn't see the light
I kept on looking for a way to take me through the night.-

A few leaves frozen on a cold morning in a bird bath in our yard. Leaving for a trip to California for a few days, so I'll take a short Flickr vacation during that time. Have a great week!
A few years ago I cycled from Lhasa to Kathmandu. One of the most remarkable journeys I ever experienced...

Taken a few months back in the Kent coastal town of Whitstable. In general seagulls in the British coastal resorts have a bad reputation for their aggressive behaviour, well deserved I should add. Should you just be tucking into your lovely bag of chips (fries) you'd better beware that if you take your attention away for even a second then chances are one of these guys will be swooping in for a free meal. It can scare the bejesus out of you! And if they don't steal your food they just might leave you with something else in the form of an embarrassing white streak down your back, or heaven forbid, on your head!

I'm going to be leaving this message on my next few posted images. This is to let the photographers that I follow know that due to the immense amount of time it takes me to go through all the photos that appear in my Flickr stream each day I am setting my stream to show only one image per day per person. It's either that or get Flickr burn-out. Apologies in advance if your photos don't get as much of my attention as they used to. Hopefully people will understand my reasons for doing so. Thanks.
A few more shots from earlier in the year.
Eye to eye contact with an owl at close quarters, can it get any better?

Few things get my photo mojo kicked into high gear more than the autumn season here in Ontario: a pearl-grey morning sky, the smell of rain in the air, and leaves turning from green to crimson and orange to gold.

Il y a quelques semaines une fête était en préparation au forum des halles et le DJ répétait..soudain il a joué cette célèbre chanson italienne et quelques passants ont spontanément commencé à danser...
A few weeks ago they were preparing a feast in a very famous parisian shopping center and the DJ was rehearsing ...he suddendly played this famous italian song and a few passers -by immediatly started to dance...
it seems very likely that St Anthony's Chapel was closely associated with Holyrood Abbey, which stood just a few hundred yards away to the north-west. The two were linked by a well-made stone track (now heavily worn) with prominent kerbstones that can in places still be seen, and about three quarters of the way along this track up to the chapel is the spring and carved stone bowl known as St Anthony's Well.
It's tempting to think of St Anthony's Chapel as an outlying chapel for Holyrood Abbey, perhaps constructed as a means of getting pilgrims out from under the feet of the monks in the abbey. It has also been suggested that the chapel served as a sort of religious beacon, designed to be clearly visible to sea-borne pilgrims coming to Holyrood Abbey as they sailed up the River Forth.
As for dating, there are references to a grant paid for repairs to St Anthony's Chapel by the Pope in 1426, suggesting the building could date back into the 1300s or beyond. Details of its demise are equally unclear, but presumably, like Holyrood Abbey itself, St Anthony's Chapel fell into disuse and disrepair after the Reformation in 1560.
Today, all that remains of the chapel are parts of the north wall plus remnants of another building a little to the south-west, which has sometimes been called a hermitage but was probably just a store room. The remaining chapel wall shows signs of vaulting, and it is thought that when complete the building would have comprised a small three-bay chapel, with a three-storey tower at its west end. This odd shape, almost as tall as it was long, supports the idea that the chapel was designed as much to ensure distant visibility as to accommodate worshippers.
A few times a year I have a mini-origami-meeting with a friend, who also love to fold ;-)). Today is such a day. We each select some models to fold and this time I choose this abstract origami model, called "A trapped love", where a cube is surrounded by a thick "line".
When assembling this model you put in the cube halfway, because once the "line" is finished, you can't put the cube in. And when it is "trapped" inside, you can't take the cube out without destroying this "line".
I put the model on a mirror, so I hope you see the "line" better ;-)
It's an idea by Hans -Werner Guth and he was inspired by the origami "Umulius Rectangulum" by Thoki Yenn.
Few likely remember the Cinebomb classic from 1957 "From Hell It Came". For those who are familiar will agree this tree closely resembles the horrifying oak that snatched up young island girls while they slept and deposited them into a pool of quicksand. This being a common event on remote islands where tree's are left unsupervised and allowed to freely roam to pursue these unspeakable acts of violence.
A large non-parasitic cuckoo endemic to the Indian Subcontinent. The bird is pretty large - maybe 40-45 cms and is quite famous for its beauty. This is also known as "Lipstick bird" for its reddish beak and beautiful eyelashes.
It habitat is the dry scrub land, forest edges and is often sighted on the ground hunting for insects. The birds are quite shy and behaviours are hard to predict - so it is tough to sight them at the same location again and again. On this day though, we hit the jackpot - spent an hour roughly with 2 birds and at times they got too close to get a full length shot. Luckily they were flying perch to perch continuously, so managed to get a few good flight shots.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.

For quite a few years this armature did it's job in the vacuum control module of my 2001 Audi A4. Eventually the pump parts failed and I could no longer lock any of the doors. I replaced the module and put the old one in a drawer for future dissection, that was around 2008. A contact has been posting his collection of small armatures so I thought I'd see what I could come up with myself. This one was shot with a single light source placed to the right of the camera for the Macro Mondays theme, "Sidelit". The armature measures app. 1 in. X 0.75 in., the copper shaft diameter is 0.25 in.

Had a few hours to kill on Saturday so played around with Filters at Mentone Beach and this old Groyne in the heart of the afternoon.
I was really keen to catch the reflections the gaps in the fence made over the water. I originally envisoined this to be black and white and I have processed a version which I will post but I ended up liking this coloured one.
