While the landscape is now characterized by a somewhat uniform brown, there are occasional bursts of color yet to be found...mainly in the form of young oaks who seem to exhibit a greater exuberance in the season than their elders who have retired for the year. In some ways, analogous to the human species, I reckon....

This evening's view with a subdued sunset.

V in the sky for victory as no more alien pods. Bad joke, hope you all have a wonderful day and thanks for your visits!

A great egret landing on a very windy day. The approach was nice, but the landing was awful. It didn't help that he tried landing on a branch at a 45 degree angle. Kane County, Illinois

With a measly 105mm lens, I think I may have been too close to this majestic deer in Richmond Park. He showed me his dentures, I got the hint and stepped away from his space.

After a while when he got used to my presence we had a great photo session together. I'm pretty sure he wanted to apologise for his earlier bad manners. All is forgiven and I'll be back in a couple of months during rutting with a longer telephoto.

I dare you to centre your mouse and double click!

Just a combination of a couple of my pics as a PS exercise

Con esta cierro el ciclo de macro micológico, (aun quedan algunas en alguna tarjeta) que aunque corto a sido prolífico por los bosques del sistema central, por donde suelo salir. Estas posibles mycenas, con ese pié semitransparente, nacen en una piña de pino sylvestris, lo que nos puede servir de referencia para hacernos idea de su pequeño tamaño. Un saludo

Another year, winding down...

♫♪♫

Please, won't you wait? Won't you stay?

At least until the sun goes down

When you're gone, I lose faith

I lose everything I have found

Heart strings, violins

That's what I hear when you're by my side. Whoa

Yeah, that's what I hear when you're by my side. Whoa

But when you're gone the music goes

I lose my rhythm, lose my soul

So hear me out before you say the night is over

I want you to know that we gotta, gotta carry on

So don't let this be our final song

So don't let this be our final song

So hear me out before you say the night is over

I want you to know that we gotta, gotta carry on

So don't let this be our final song

Baby when we were young

There was nothing to make believe

And the songs that we sang

They were written for you and me

Melodies on repeat

That's what I hear when you're by my side. Whoa

Yeah, that's what I hear when you're by my side. Whoa

Woo-ooo, take us to a higher ground

Here and now, whatever you do, just don't look down

Woo-ooo, underneath the disco light, it's alright

We could make the perfect sound

We could make the perfect sound

But when you're gone the music goes

I lose my rhythm, lose my soul

So hear me out before you say the night is over

I want you to know that we gotta, gotta carry on

So don't let this be our final song

So don't let this be our final song

So hear me out before you say the night is over

I want you to know that we gotta, gotta carry on

So don't let this be our final song

Woo-ooo, take us to a higher ground

Here and now, whatever you do, just don't look down

Woo-ooo, underneath the disco light, it's alright

We could make the perfect sound

Woo-ooo, take us to a higher ground

Here and now, whatever you do, just don't look down

Woo-ooo, underneath the disco light, it's alright

Don't let this be our final song

While shooting a book cover for a local author I pulled this one out of the mix

My eyes hurt from my pouring tears

My face is covered with makeup smears

and yet for our last and final goodbye

you're able to whisper

"you're beautiful" and mean it.

If not for macro monday theme "leaves" i wouldn't have noticed this leaf held by a thin strand of web yarn. it fell off as soon as I took this picture.
