For this capture I reduced the shutter speed down to 2.5 seconds to try and keep from blowing out the light on the white lighthouse ... but still get a bit of the Milky Way there in the sky.

Merry Christmas, flickr friends!!!!

Hope y'all have a wonderful holiday!

And for those of you who were good this year, I can't wait to see the shots of what Santa brings!

A low-flying Northern Harrier scanning the ground for activity. I was walking in the pomegranate orchard near the YWAM base where my wife and I are volunteering. I had my camera, but I was climbing a steep section where I wasn't expecting much bird activity. Imagine my excitement when I saw this guy just beyond the fence in the adjacent field. HWW

Thanks for your selfless help and good advice 🙋‍♂️

Searching for the entrance of the Temple Church, London.

When I decided to set up the flower shop for Brita, I didn't know that miniature flowers were so expensive and so difficult to make.

Result? The layout of the shop grows very slowly. -__-

But yesterday I thought: what if I use real flowers? Small dried or fresh flowers taken in the garden?

So here are some new flowers. I like the final effect.

These flowers are not eternal, but I am drawn to the idea of changing them every time I want to take a new photo!

Near the hydroelectric dam where the eagles fish, the Black vultures gather in droves to feast on the plentiful leftovers.

In memory of Christopher, son of our friends Robin & Jean. Christopher suddenly passed away recently at the age of 42. He is leaving such a hole in his family's heart and lives. Ken & I are sending out hugs to them all, sending out energies into the universe, and hoping that our daughter, Jamie, was there to give Christopher a hug and tell him how our families are linked across the miles, and through Flickr. How sorry we are for his passing.

Please, if you can, light a candle for Christopher. He will be missed SO very much.

I took this last week near The Summit at Snoqualmie WA, just pulled over to the shoulder, knowing it was going to be slow getting the truck moving again on the steep incline. This is looking from I-90 towards the north side of the road. Would have liked a bit more foreground, but that would have been the interstate which is just out of the frame. I stopped a couple of times below here, but those trees in the foreground, such as it is, made this shot my favorite.

Been so busy this week. On this day I made a delivery in Puyallup WA, then picked up in Kent WA, stopped here for this picture and went on to Boise Idaho, then to Phoenix AZ, then to the Tesla plant in Fremont CA. Then to Stockton CA and from there I made deliveries today in Portland and Clackamas OR, with a final delivery in Seattle. Over 3100 miles for the week. In Pacific WA tonight, picking up paper rolls in Longview tomorrow evening (about 100 miles) then to Buena Park CA. So got some time tomorrow to rest and do some catching up with hopefully everyone.

Just wanted you all to know I'm ok, and haven't forgotten you, just too damn busy. Trump's fault, lol.

From photo shoot for Orina's new album. Usually I'm avoiding to upload several images from the same shoot in a row, even several images with the same model (maybe I'm wrong here, what do you think?), but my friend Orina releasing new music and I'm trying to help. Besides, all session turned up very different.

As many opine for the days when the Bozeman Local ran like clockwork and with clean power, no doubt people such as Mark Hemphill yearn for when the MRL #405 plied the rails as DRGW #3047. Although the tonnage on this day won't make a dent in the speed, even with a 1.9% grade ahead, the #405 undoubtedly saw mountain territory in its previous life. The #3047 was one of 22 GP35's delivered to the DRGW between 1964/65. Like most of the GP35 fleet, it lasted just about 28 years, being retired in Dec 1993 along with 17 others. An interesting note is that all 22 GP35's were made to be trailing unit only in 1972, removing cab seats, toilets and radios. I am unsure if this lasted until their retirement or if they were made lead qualified again at some point. Thanks to utahrails.net for the great details! Its an interesting note that by now the #405 has spent close to or more time on the Montana Rail Link than it did the Denver and Rio Grande Western. Time marches on!

A grizzly bear is hard at work digging for clams early in the morning at low tide in the Khutzeymateen estuary. Notice how you can see the long fingers/claws digging into the sand. In the springtime the grizzlies supplement their sedge grass diet with clams and other intertidal species that they scavenge along the beaches at low tide.

During last year's (2015) vacation we spent a day and night on Cape Cod. I got some good opportunities to photograph the local birds, specifically gulls. While I am no expert, I believe this one is a Herring Gull. If you think different, let me know.

Thanks for the years of support and love!

Food for thought, a really interesting article in the New York Times with big and true questions, an interesting read!

Angkor Wat is a temple complex in Cambodia and the largest religious monument in the world with the site measuring 162.6 hectares (1,626,000 m2). It was originally constructed as a Hindu temple of god Vishnu for the Khmer Empire, gradually transforming into a Buddhist temple toward the end of the 12th century. It was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yaśodharapura, present-day Angkor, the capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum. Breaking from the Shaiva tradition of previous kings, Angkor Wat was instead dedicated to Vishnu. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious center since its foundation. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag, and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors.

Thanks for all your comments and faves, much appreciated as

always.

It would appear that, as the title states I have a passion for the posts at the Uphill end of Weston Supper Mare beach. Whatever the weather they help to make the beach an amazing photographic subject.

I got a great look at the stairs as for the first time as the gate was open. What I'm wondering though, is what happens after the small drop you can see - look for the post - see Note.

Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.

An unusual sighting for the area. This Australian Ringneck Parrot was seen at Mt Macedon yesterday.

Shot in the rain and gale force winds with the 300 mm lens. My preferred birding lens was at hand but I wasn't going to change lens in those conditions.

for being the drinks hostess with the mostest!! :-))

I was looking for the last Milky Way of the season in this fantastic location, the Deep Space Antennae in Robledo de Chavela, Madrid, but as the sly was cloudy I had to change plans and took advantage of a beautiful sunset.

Iba buscando la última vía láctea de la temporada en este magnífico fondo con las antenas de espacio profundo de Robledo de Chavela, pero el cielo no estaba por la labor, así que cambio de planes y aproveché para captar este fantástico atardecer.
