Richmond Park

A little color to brighten this very gray day.

Happy Slider Sunday - HSS!!

Once again thank you very much for visits, favorite and comments. It's much appreciated.

Probably my last post for a while, although I might log in from time to time. For some time (maybe one or two months) I fly off to other places. This time with my camper towards Denmark.

There are probably also some birds there, and as long as the holidays do not start yet, there may also be some space and tranquility. I do wish everyone a nice summer (holiday).

The shot here was taken in Arkemheen, a wonderful bird area in the Netherlands, and I found it again since I am cleaning up my pictures.

Ricomincio da qui, un po' stravolto, un po' stanco.

Stravolto, mi piace, svoltare, ricominciare.

Non so cosa scrivo, è un mio spensierato angolo di un pomeriggio in cui penso a quella parte lasciata per qualche giorno, lo spazio illimitato dove accantono le mie foto.

La mia scelta di dare spazio solo al cielo.

E questa volta non tenterò per nulla di migliorarlo.

Un attimo solo di poco cielo, quel che sta dentro un'inquadratura.

This Snowy Owl spent several hours on the Harbour Break Wall always tempting the photographer with a flight Photo. Sadly it never happened.

Thanks for your faves and comments. I am back in the groove at last after my laptop died and I bought a Mac :-)

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.

I always like getting these guys in flight, with those epaulets showing.

I had the pleasure of watching three green herons working the lake over the weekend - two adults and a juvenile. Saw them catch a few fish, and occasionally fly from one location to another. This was one of the flights.

This mallard hen took off across the lake, then headed my way. Had to get a shot of her oncoming - a little different from the typical mallard flight shot.

This is another shot from the day where we were fortunate enough to see multiple black-crowned night herons flying around the small lake at Koll.

I was over at Koll the other day, and saw something I've not seen there before: a large flight of swans approaching! They came from the west, passing nearly directly over me, continuing on to the east.

Another photo of a dragonfly in flight but with a dark background this time

Going through older pictures (didn't go out today; too hot!) and found this one, taken at Dawson Creek. Female bufflehead in flight.

Great Blue Heron

From Audubon : Widespread and familiar (though often called "crane"), the largest heron in North America. Often seen standing silently along inland rivers or lakeshores, or flying high overhead, with slow wingbeats, its head hunched back onto its shoulders. Highly adaptable, it thrives around all kinds of waters from subtropical mangrove swamps to desert rivers to the coastline of southern Alaska. With its variable diet it is able to spend the winter farther north than most herons, even in areas where most waters freeze. A form in southern Florida (called "Great White Heron") is slightly larger and entirely white.

This is another flight shot from Whitaker Ponds.

Its a dip into my archives for todays post as not had time to process a shot today! Since ive been home from work between dinner and kids bedtime duties i have been whittling down my images from 2250ish to 150 from the Bass Rock yesterday morning! Im done in now and time for bed… i’ll maybe start processing them tomorrow evening… so for tonight its a picture of an Arctic Tern in flight on the Isle of May! I love how artistic looking the shapes are that they achieve in flight!
