Technically, this shot is very poor. It's out of focus and some of the flying ant subjects are bleached out by the strong sunlight. The ants were also very animated climbing up the water butt to reach the top where they were taking to the sky one after another. I liked the arrangement of ants and the beautiful wing colours and designs, so upload I have regardless of the less than satisfactory technical quality of the photo.
Was asked to photograph a Christmas dance recital - always wanted to capture this shot.
These dancers are the most graceful athletes....
p.s. Isn't that dancer in front a dead ringer for Audrey Hepburn?
p.p.s. ISO of 3200 - grainy, but still looks better in lightbox
Thank you!
Returned to the North Norfolk Coast this morning in search of Snow Buntings. Although I managed some ground shots last Monday (with the RF 800mm F11), I didn't get anything decent in flight. So lugged the 600mm F4 and tripod this time.
Still quite a challenge to track these very fast and erratic birds in flight, but very enjoyable!
Adult Red Knot in breeding plumage - New Jersey, USA
As I’ve mentioned before, I spent a lot of time in 2020 exploring new places in New Jersey to find birds. During the peak of spring shorebird migration, I’ve made few trips all the way down to Delaware Bay to find Red Knots in their full alternate plumage. I can’t wait to come back there again this season
Never stop exploring!!!
Thank you all for kind comments!

If only Barn Owls came out earlier when the light is better!! Guess the answer to that is to get up at the crack of dawn! Need a faster lens! The best I've achieved yet though...a work in progress. Love them☺️

MY B&W photography :
Macro Mondays: Perfect together
Large Flying Duck Orchid (Caleana major) Despite the name this little orchid is only 2-2.5cm.
iNaturalist: "Caleana major is a tuberous, perennial herb, usually growing to a height of 200–400 mm with a single reddish, narrow lance-shaped leaf, 40–130 mm long, 4–8 mm wide and often spotted, emerging at its base. Up to five shiny reddish brown flowers, 20–25 mm long and 6–7 mm wide are borne on a thin, wiry flowering stem. The sepals and petals are 12–15 mm long and have pointed tips. The column has broad wings which the dorsal sepal and petals almost touch and the lateral sepals turn back wing-like behind the flower. The labellum is 6–8 mm long and 5–6 mm wide and resembles the head of a duck on a strap-like "neck". Flowering occurs from September to January"

I haven't seen many of these large birds flying here on the East Coast but managed to catch a shot of this one as he flew over Lake St. Louis in Pointe-Claire, QC.

Down there by the river is a man
whose heart is twisted into shapes
unknown to the wicked and the wise
And he bears the look of an animal
But he's seen things no animal could ever see
He has been driven beyond all towns and all the systems
Until now, though it is long past too far,
he keeps going
Because it's a desert
Because it's a desert
We come to the river
We'll walk away from all this now
We come to the water
We'll walk away from all this now
She first saw him, he was standing in the doorway,
illuminated from behind by a light
Though imaginary posses
chased them to these distant adobes
Standing on the cliffs today
I thought I saw you below
walking by the river
My shadow growing smaller
It's a desert because
Because it's a desert
They'll be asking me about you forever, I guess
We come to the river
We'll walk away from all this now
We come to the water
We'll walk away from all this now
Long coats on the prairie
Lying in the dust
Who can I turn to?
Who can I trust?
Were you walking on the water?
Playing in the sun
But the world is turning faster, yeah
Than it did when I was young
When I was young, oh-oh
When I was young
But then, I was young,
I was a wild, wild one
When I was young

In my earlier post of an Osprey pair, Graham suggested I train the Ospreys to do sychronized flying. Well, Graham, here they are. They still have a bit of work to do but they are getting there.
Best viewed large on black.
. . . My favorite female Snowy Owl on one of her forays hunting for food. The focusing on my new Nikon Z-6-ll is incredible, as I even caught a single snowflake below her.
Speaking of flying, I will be doing that as well in a day or so, going to where the buffalo roam and geysers erupt, for a weeks winter vacation. So if you are looking for more Snowy Owl pictures, you will have to get your fix from others!
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
A tiny frost 'spider' flying across a frozen world, carrying it's 'web' and a few 'leaves' in it's hind legs....
