This shot was taken with my macro contraption (50mm f/1.4 lens, 47 mm extender tube on one side and a 250D macro lens on the other). That means the lens was almost touching the butterfly. I have no idea how they let me get that close, but these butterflies did not seem to be frightened.

Happy Mothers day!
This shot was at sunset but the water behind the Heron was a flat white color in the original image. Using another photo that I took a number of weeks ago I replaced the water to make the image more like what I remember when taking it.
Something unseen seriously frightened this cub and its sibling. Shortly after, it plopped down on this old log and rested. It was a fascinating and beautiful experience.
Thanks for your views, faves and comments. They are sincerely appreciated.

We took a climb up to the Lost Valley which is close to the 'Three Sisters' in Glen Coe and stumbled across this. I always try and have the shutter speed between 1/8 and 1/4 of a second so the water has definition.
This is a good example of what this little Northern Pygmy Owl did when a scary Chickadee flew above him. This is a change in posture called "tall and thin" and is a sign of distress. He does it to make himself look bigger or to escape detection. It was chickadees that finally drove him away. Actually, the mobbing of chickadees was how I saw my first Northern Pygmy Owl in a local park several years ago. Two more photos are in the comment box.

A few weeks ago Sookie went missing from mid day on Monday to Friday morning I was beside myself with worry walking the streets calling her name, posting flyers asking people to check sheds and garages and putting up posters.
Since she has been back she has been a very different Cat not wanting to go out at all and seems very frightened.
I probably will never know what happened to her I can only presume she was locked in somewhere but I am now spoiling her something rotten and giving her lot's of cuddles.

Mudhouse Lane, a quiet country road that was closed for the night. Perfect opportunity to be able to stand in the road for 20 seconds without having to worry about being flattened!

Once upon a time there was a stick. This was not a normal stick, this stick was special. It could see and think.
One day the water it was stuck in suddently started to move. The stick was frightened, because the water could drag him with it any time. He didn't know when nor did he know if it would, but he knew for sure that this was a serious threat .
For thoose of you that don't know there is a huge terror threat in Norway today, let's hope this one will end good.

Sometimes you just need to turn around and look at what is behind you.
This woodpigeon lay blinking and apparently attentive but made no effort to avoid Buddy, my dog, or my little grandson during our walk this morning. I grabbed the picture from a non-threatening distance. (Because of my undersized sensor I was using a 1350mm equivalent focal length compared to a full frame 35mm sensor.) His plumage seems fairly mature so perhaps he is stunned or poorly. I will check on him shortly.
Well now pride's gone out the window cross the rooftops, run away,
Left me in the vacuum of my heart.
What is happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say,
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away...

I liked a girl, she didn't notice me, I draw this and gave it to her. What happened then? That's another story.

He (or she) got inside the fence and couldn't figure out how to get out. He got quite frantic. I opened some gates and he found his way to safety.

"Suddenly a horn was blown. Loud voices sounded from the shore over to Asmund. Mother quickly called him to the house and as he ran over, his little brother Hagen hurried after him. In mother's eyes was horror, Asmund saw and he began to worry. In his sixteen summers he had never seen her so frightened. He stood still, slowly beginning to realize what was happening, while Mother hastily packed bags. His sister Eira was loaded with stuff and sent to the rear gate of the settlement and Mother urged Asmund and Hagen to go with her. Asmund took his shield from the wall and shouldered it, then they left. From the gate came Father, armed and covered in mail. He knelt down before his children and took Asmund's head in his hands and told him to go with Mother and Eira and Hagen and protect them. As he stood up to rush to the skirmish down at the shore, Mother came from the house carrying an axe. She gave it to her oldest without hesitation and they turned inland. But then, Asmund looked back and saw smoke rising from the houses down by the sea. He saw Father and one of his friends slay a raider before more pushed up from the shore, the heads of their axes shimmering in the sunlight of this fateful fall morning."

I went with a rather simple build for this one, just to get myself started for once.
Hope you still find something to like about it.
It is easy to project human emotions inappropriately onto non-human animals. A moment of observation would leave nobody in doubt that this little fellow was terrified after his fall from the nest and his failure to fly. I have not seen him today but the silence of his parents suggests that he is still on the ground and their instinct is to not attract attention to him (or themselves as they feed him). The fledgling's blue eye colour reveals his immaturity. It will darken in time if he survives.
An archive shot of part of the Privy Garden at Hampton Court Palace but in freezing conditions for a change ( and was very cold inside as well ! ) .
Using incredibly detailed accounts, the garden has been restored to how it would have looked for William III in 1702. It also contains the Tijou screen, 12 elaborate panels whose central motifs symbolise parts of the United Kingdom in wrought iron.
The scandal behind the accounts
The Privy Garden at Hampton Court is one of the most accurately reconstructed gardens because so much was recorded about the original 1702 garden. Unfortunately, William III died before it was completely finished which meant all the gardeners and workmen were frightened of not being paid. This is why they submitted the fullest possible accounts of their work.
Many of the gardeners (including Tijou, who made the ironwork, and the statue supplier) were never paid in full by Queen Anne, despite their efforts.
The workmen’s accounts were further corroborated by archaeological evidence and historic garden plans.
A formal style of gardening
‘The Privy Garden represents a formal style of gardening which fell out of fashion soon after this garden was originally made. Its geometry is not to everyone’s taste but many find it extremely pleasing to the eye.’ - Susanne Groom, Curator of Gardens Exhibition.

The Lewis Chessmen (or Uig Chessmen, named after their find-site) constitute some of the few complete medieval chess sets that have survived until today. Discovered in 1831, they are currently exhibited in the Royal Museum in Edinburgh and the British Museum in London.
The chessmen are believed to have been made in Norway, perhaps by craftsmen in Trondheim (where similar pieces have been found), sometime during the 12th century. During that period the Outer Hebrides, along with other major groups of Scottish islands, were ruled by Norway.
Almost all of the pieces in the collection are carved from walrus ivory, with a few made instead from whale teeth. The 93 pieces form parts of four or five sets, though the sizes are irregular and it is not clear whether any full original set can be compiled from the known pieces. Altogether there are 8 kings, 8 queens, 16 bishops, 15 knights, 12 rooks, and 19 pawns.
This is part of a series I took today as I tried to play around with my lenses and understand how depth of field works...

BEWARE !
Fireworks are devices of ancient Chinese origin containing combustible chemicals that cause explosive or spectacular effects. They are commonly used in many countries to celebrate festive occasions related to tradition, religion, or culture. Examples include Independence Day in the United States, Guy Fawkes' night in Australia, Britain and New Zealand, Deewali in India, New Year in China and Italy, Prophet's birthday in Libya, and Hari Raya festival in Malaysia.
Although one gets pleasure from fireworks, they can often cause injuries to active users and bystanders. Such injuries are common worldwide and have been well documented. The injuries can be serious and even life threatening. In most cases, they occur as a result of misuse and could be prevented with reasonable care.
Fireworks can burn down houses, damage entertainment venues such as nightclubs, frighten children and adults, cause bushfires, and terrify pets and wildlife.
When frightened by fireworks, horses and dogs have been known to injure themselves and others by running away, potentially causing accidents and damage to property.
Noise from fireworks can cause distress, especially as fireworks can sound like gunfire.
