It looks pretty quiet now. The heavy snow is supposed to hit us tomorrow, so we'll be staying home where we're safe!
Tomorrow's Forecast for Las Vegas: Hot and Smokey.

Sunny and cold today - the forecast snow did not appear here in chilly Oxfordshire!
Have a super weekend dear Flickr friends - keep on holding on xxx
Since the weather forecast for the rest of the Easter isn't good, we went out at sea again this morning, to get some more photos of the white-tailed eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla) and common guillemots before the rain set in this afternoon.
In addition, we also got good photos of an unexpected species, when I spotted three red-throated divers in a still bay this morning. I have never seen them on the island I'm from before, and I think I got my best photos of them so far.
Yesterday we had 13 eagles up close, today we had 10. Right before going back to the harbour after the first raindrops, six of the eagles gathered around us in all directions. Pretty fun! We didn't get all of them to catch our fish, but half of them did.
This one is from the same spot last year, since I just got home from today's trip.
It is ringed and called 1116. Here it was 13 years old, but I also photographed it later on, when it was nearly 16. (They can live for more than 20 years in the wild.)
It was ringed in a nest in Finnøy in Ryfylke further south.

With the forecast of cloud arriving in the Capital early this morning I decided to forego the delights of 50 008 on the West London Line and stay local instead. Although I had shot this same train here only four days go the light was considerably better this morning with much better clarity. Fortunately this train was not only well loaded despite the current IT problems at Felixstowe but was only 3 or so minutes late - a sizeable improvement on many other trains in both directions this morning. The sun is only just on the nose of this so you don't want it any later!
Sorry my friends, I have a little time to dedicate myself to Flickr. I wish everyone all the best and good light.

Except for leveling, SOOC.It looked like a thunderstorm was coming, but the sun won out. Thanks for your patience. Still catching up!
Although very chilly winds were forecasted combined with mostly cloudy skies, I was just hoping to catch sight of the Harlequins. I knew that they tend to stay on the eastern side of the jetty where the waves come smashing into the sides, and given the late arrival, might not have such good light, especially to capture the brilliant colors and the dark eyes. But, in spite of the obstacles, it was a wonderful surprise, at the end of the day, when uploading the photos from the flash drive, and finding that this muted tone appealed to me. I have already captured some very beautiful moments in good sunlight before—SEE the ALBUM on Barnegat Lighthouse SP—so to get this look was a nice addition to the inventory.
The Harlequin Ducks are amongst the very favorites of many photographers and birders, for the patterns and colors are truly quite eye-catching. In addition, it is amazing to see how they enjoy the rough waters by the rocky structures, all while pecking away at barnacles and marine vegetation on the jagged walls.
The Barnegat Lighthouse State Park is truly a splendid landscape, famous mostly for its historic lighthouse (over 100 years old) of architecturally clean lines that accentuate its presence, but also the well-designed structure of the long jetty consisting of huge rocks and boulders sandwiched between the nice sandy beach and the ocean, and finally, the wonderful array of fascinating birds throughout the seasons. Throughout the day, one can expect to see a variety of water vessels, from small one-man fishing boats to larger motorized ones, and even enormous tankers in the far distance. The U.S. Coastguard boats are constantly on the lookout for any potential problems in the water.
All of this is even more beautiful during the breathtaking end-of-the-day sunsets or early morning sunrise period, with the accompanying “Magic/Golden Hour” that exudes the special tones in the air. As nature enthusiasts and photographers, it doesn’t get much better than this.

I wanted to do this picture as I have had too many friends in tears because they are struggling with depression paying for their pills. ..... I know the pain Bi Polar is my destructive mistress .. I know shes abusive and I need to keep her off my doormat .. but I miss feeling fully being able to fly artistically .... its a struggle to remind my self that she leaves a mess and people who I love in tears .. I miss the rush but remember the people that your beast hurts if you dont keep the gates closed.... if your struggling dont go down the rabbit hole find the rope ....
I went out to the Peak early this morning hoping for the forecast mist/fog but no such luck. Seeing as I was out there I decided to have a drive around and scout out some locations. I found myself drawn to Curbar by some moody skies. I set this shot up only to get rained on but I liked the 'test' shot so hung around (getting soaked). Eliminates Wall is a very well known climbing area, not for the feint of heart! This image took some processing, the sky was a right bugger! Lots of noise but I think this is about as good as I could get, hope you like it.

This is from a recent photoshoot with beautiful Chrissy. In this shot, she was seated next to a fountain on a patio outdoors. She had fun trying on a variety of hats and using different umbrellas. Rain was not in the forecast—but the colorful umbrella was a beautiful compliment to Chrissy.

Today is going to be a long day just because I have to go to the dentist...
Good morning for you that sometimes wake up already complaining about something too...
Let the day begin!
After seeing a recent forecast for decent aurora in northern British Columbia, I spent a few hours on Google Maps, searching for a lakeside campground with clear views to the north. The hope was to catch a photograph of the northern lights reflecting on still water. A lot of things had to come together to make that happen, but I figured the adventure was worth it. I selected a few lakes and bumped along some forest service roads until I found the perfect spot. Fortune upon me, I had the place all to myself - except for the mosquitoes and black flies.
As the sky darkened, the wind died down to a calm, and the bugs subsided. Only the calls of loons and owls broke the silence. Then the aurora appeared in the northern sky. I took dozens of photos while the lights danced in the sky over the next few hours. As if part of some kind of coordinated light show, some clouds accented the moving lights as I captured this image.
In this open landscape of the Charente Maritime the weather can change very rapidly from bright sun to storm - with dramatic light effects.

Sony A7RII Zion National Park Autumn/Winter Snowfall The Watchman Autumn Dr. Elliot McGucken Fine Art Landscape Photography
Well I was shooting fall colors in Zion National PArk when I saw that they had forecast snow for Bryce Canyon, so instead of heading back to LA, I headed out to Bryce Canyon! And I was treated to snow, sun, clouds, snowstorm, and then a glorious sunrise over the s-capped hoo-doos in Bryce! :)

Our forecast is for high-elevation snow in the Rockies this weekend! Snow in summer just isn't right, lol, but we know it can happen!
Never will I get used to seeing Great American Pelicans in the wild here - to me, they always look like they have escaped from the Zoo. On 22 June 2020, I saw so many of them when I drove south as far as Frank Lake. It's not unusual to see them there - it is just overwhelming to see them in such large numbers. Barely room to move and sharing the bits of raised land surrounded by water, with endless, very noisy gulls (many California Gulls). I also posted a video of them, so that you can hear the constant sound.
Pretty well all the birds at Frank Lake are very or extremely distant, even more so now that the whole area is so flooded. The path and boardwalk are under water and the blind remains boarded up, to prevent the risk of lack of social distancing. The few people who were at the lake were doing a great job of staying distant.
What a surprise it was, when I pulled off the gravel road by the outflow area, to see that another person who was also pulling over was good friend, Diane. We spent such an enjoyable few hours together - but the required distance between us at all times, of course. Diane knows the birds and can find them, including through her scope, so I ended up seeing far more (zooming in on my camera) than if I had been there on my own (no binoculars).
The best find of all was the 'rare in Alberta' Great Egret. I could barely even see the tiny white speck with the naked eye. Diane found it through her scope, and we were both so excited as she hadn't yet seen it. Actually, when I first arrived at Frank Lake, I thought I had found it, standing in a far, far away tree. A large, upright, white bird - what else could it be? Now that I have edited one of the three photos I took, I am wondering if it was a Great Blue Heron that I saw. In which case, the fact that my friend spotted the definite Great Egret, meant that I ended up seeing this rare bird after all. Thank you, Diane!
Another bird that we both enjoyed seeing and hearing was the tiny Marsh Wren. Such a cute little bird, singing its heart out among the Cattails and Bulrushes. Definitely not the easiest of birds to photograph, especially when keeping our distance from it.
The various bird species that I tried to photograph resulted in many poor quality photos, As always, though, poor photos are far more meaningful than no photos. In order to get much closer captures, one would need to walk right up to, or along, the edge of the water. The extra stress this could cause is just what the birds don't need, especially as there are lots of babies right now.
My original plan was to call in at the Saskatoon Farm on the way home. By mid afternoon, I was hoping I could reach the farm before the restaurant closed, and I just made it. A quick wander around took me to the enclosure for the hens and chickens. One hen had been separated and I quickly saw why. She had maybe half a dozen teeny babies that were the cutest little things.
My hope had been to buy a few food items - I hadn't placed a food order, as I didn't need many things. Most things were already sold out by the time I was about to leave. No problem at all, as I know I will be back there before long. I think it's my second home.
This is the last Pelican photo that I will post, at least from this trip : ) Now I need to add some bright and cheery colour to my photostream! Maybe I will next add a few photos taken at the Saskatoon Farm, though I would rather have posted a few photos taken yesterday, 25 June 2020. In the morning, I got together with five friends at the garden paradise where one of them lives. We each drove west of the city in our own vehicles, and social distancing was perfect. So much room, and so much wildlife. Jackie does so much for the birds and animals that either live on her land or visit during migration. They know a good thing when they see it : ) After a couple of hours of chatting - which felt SO good! - we went our separate ways. For me, that meant driving just a little further west along my usual backroads. There was one great sighting that I had to stop and photograph and then - my car 'died' AGAIN! This time, it didn't take too long to get it to work, but it is still an awful feeling every time it happens.
Woke up to about an inch of snow today. I don't think it will last long though. The forecast is calling for 80's for the weekend! I think it was winter reminding us of what's coming!!
The forecast said Fog but very little at home and it looked patchy driving out of Sheffield. It was looking foggier to the South so headed to this spot and shot this one just before sunrise. Great that Sunrise is 8:21am I could afford a cup of tea in bed before heading out
The Forecast is Rain!
Wishing you all a Peaceful and a Happy Weekend!
Thank you so much for dropping by and for the kind comments and favs! They are very much appreciated!
