Pier diving. I left my camera behind, when some locals were diving off the pier in some fantastic light. Luckily, like most these days I had my mobile phone at hand.
Another shot of the very unexpected SEO spot.
I had originally thought it was a barnie silhouetted against the sun.
It was only when I decided to get out of the car and try to get between the bird and the sun that I realised she was something special..
This shot shows the bird in it's natural environment.

木を育てた人たちがいます。笑顔を呼ぶ木と名付けられたその木の下ではどんな万物も揺らめく光の中で静かに気持ちを沿え静寂を愉しみます。静かにしずかにこの木から笑顔をつくる柔らかなものをもらうのです。

This is more of a picture in the making.
Again I didn't realise that I had set the ISO to 1000 when taking this, and I'm still kicking myself over it now.
The idea for this shot is very different to how I want it to be, but here's a little taste of it until I get what I want from this place.
Close up of a bee orchid flower. If you see carefully, the dark part of the flower is shaped and coloured very much like a bee - in particular a female bee. This fools the male bees and they get onto the flower in a futile attempt to mate. This, however, serves the plant's purpose of pollination.
Just a day ago I walked through this cemetery in shirtsleeves on a quintessential early spring day, sunny, blue sky and temperature in the low 70s. But that was then. A cold front swept over the village overnight and kicked up lake effect snow off of Lake Erie. Just light snow at first. But I watched an ominous darkening on the Doppler radar this morning. I've actually been awaiting a moment like this for over a year now. Heavy snow moving in during daylight hours to the extent that the flakes could be captured in mid-air. For this to work I needed an air temp at or above freezing to ensure large, fluffy flakes. The planets finally aligned for me this morning. I headed into the cemetery just as the snow arrived. There was already a light ground cover from the overnight snow. The sky literally darkened around me as falling snow blotted the sun. It was breathtaking just how quickly the sky and landscape transformed. I found myself in this space, hands freezing, wind howling, and the review screen obscured by water droplets. I just pointed the camera blindly, set the flash, and pressed the shutter. Sometimes you just have to trust fate. This is the resulting image. Absolutely every bit of what I had hoped for. The snowflakes reflect the flash creating an orb-like effect. It's a glimmering, magical effect juxtaposed against the stunningly lifeless surroundings. I don't know why but I absolutely love the view of distant gravestones dotting the background. I suppose it just adds more depth, but my feelings go beyond that. Has to do with the photo having a sense of place I guess.
Postscript: I had no sooner posted this image when the sun returned, beaming down brighter than ever. Only traces of this snow remain; melted away in just minutes as it it never happened. Further motivation for quick response to changing weather conditions. There was just a short metaphorical window of opportunity to get this shot. Glad I didn't waste it watching out my actual window.
The temperature when I snapped this image of UP's Tuesday transfer job was +43F, nearly 60 degrees warmer than what I was shooting in Sunday morning. Unseasonably warm days at the front end of winter can lull us into thinking we will have a mild season. The fact my fingers are just now thawing out from this past weekend suggests otherwise. A clipper system will bring a couple inches of snow tomorrow so we will still be in good shape for a white Christmas.
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent.
It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction. - Albert Einstein
Quo vadis… ”Where are you going?"
Yes, where do we go from here, the shock is dying down already as I see, the media interest will lessen quickly, yet the scars will remain, we’ll be a bit more battered, a bit more weary.
I feel like apologising to my sons, my grand-children for bringing them into this world… when all I ever wanted was peace…
thanx for your time and comments, greatly appreciated, M, (*_*)

La superluna di febbraio si accinge a tramontare, immergendosi a tratti in veli di nebbia... che di momento in momento la nascondono quasi completamente.

There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
Dire Straits.

Warm sunset on a frozen lake – I took this sunset photo at Fools Hollow Lake State Park. I loved how the ice has melted in sections giving a zigzag shape to the water and I though the warm glow of the sunset left a nice contrast to the cold water and ice.
The technical: Shot on a Nikon D810 paired with a Tamron 70-200 zoomed to 165. ISO125 f/20 for 1/13th of a second. I zoomed in to compress the photo a little and draw more attention on the ice.
