Storm Front
Billy Joel
Safe at harbor, everything is easy
Off to starboard, daylight comes up fast
Now I'm restless for the open water
Red flags are flying from the Coast Guard mast
They told me to stay, I heard all the information
I motored away and steered straight ahead
Though the weatherman said
There's a storm front coming (mood indigo)
White water running and the pressure is low
Storm front coming (mood indigo)

Went down to shoot Ulladulla Harbour one morning last week.
Spent about 45 minutes shooting away on the tripod with the remote trigger. Thought I was finished, packed everything away, looked over my shoulder and saw this forming.
Ripped the backpack off, grabbed the camera, with no time for filters or tripod, clicked it into bracket mode, and shot off 6 frames bracketed, handheld.
Boom!!!
Hope you like “Storm Front”
Cheers, Mike

Out and about and seeing what folk are doing to their houses for this festive period. This one really stood out to me, made me wonder what the inside looks like ;0)
Heliodoxa leadbeateri
At an altitude range of 1300 - 2000 metres, these smart hummers are reasonably common on the East slope....
Most farmers in Melrakkaslétta, NE-Iceland, put up flags to let the eider know where it is safe to lay nests, some put up scarecrows to fend off birds so the eider can lay it's eggs in peace.
This farmer had put up a chair, a few feet away was a "dead" scarecrow, staring with no eyes up at the sky.
At least that lonely, and now late, scarecrow got front row seats to the north Atlantic ocean.
-and if it had squinted (if it had eyes...) then it might see the coast of the arctic.
Perhaps skua and other predatory birds hate the color of lime green?
I used this shot for a "coming soon" announcement on my web page:
I am working on the page, always changing my mind though.....which makes it bloody difficult to finalise.

The IUCN originally in 1988 assessed the ochre-fronted antpitta as Near Threatened, then in 2000 as Endangered, and since 2022 as Vulnerable. It is known from only two sites within a small overall range and its estimated population of between 1000 and 2500 mature individuals is believed to be decreasing.
Our group consisted of four people, and I was the only one fortunate enough to capture some shots of this species.

I have Koda to thank for this shot. If he hadn't been meowing at the front door, I would have missed the sky this morning.

Trascorriamo la vita sperando in un domani diverso che non verrà mai.
Accumuliamo denaro e case nella speranza che un giorno queste ricchezze
ci serviranno per vivere meglio, lasciamo passare il tempo
con la convinzione che tutto ciò diventi verità.
Ma la verità è nel nostro presente e non ci accorgiamo degli attimi che da soli
valgono un'intera esistenza per il loro significato.

Baby bear in my front yard, what an amazing beautiful experience!
I am not sure if this is the front or the back of the building, but to me it looks like the front: The famous Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao on a sunny evening.

Sure, we drove a long way from Melbourne to Lake Cargelligo without photographing much at all, however all was not lost - we did spend some time with some White-fronted Chats at the sewerage ponds!
There is an open section of the ponds that has plenty of these saltbush, a favourite habitat of Chat species. And while we were hoping we might see the more elusive Crimson Chats, at least we saw one species of Chat, even if it is quite common!
Having said that, the evening light was magic & this is actually the first decent photo I have of a male White-fronted Chat. There were a couple of pairs that were very busy collecting insects (I suspect they were raising young in the saltbush). The birds would often perch on the top of the saltbush & pose for a few seconds before darting off to the next spot. This particular birds was quite the gatherer - check out the beak full of bugs!
