I have partnered with the city of Richmond now for 2 years in a Tree Swallow nest box project in 3 city parks. This year we are off to a great start. Most of the nest boxes are occupied with huge increases in occupancy rates. Also most of the swallows are laying 6 eggs this year rather than 4-5 which is a great sign.

Adults can feed up to 7000 insects a day to their young.

This is a small series on a beautiful male Tree Swallow.

Thank you for comments, inviting and favorites!

I have captured wonderful winter in this same park and it is also where my partner and I observed and photographed the partial eclipse a few years back.

the day the moon tried to swallow the sun

Pine siskins have been scarce to see in the area so far this season. Maybe these neat little winter visitors will be easier to find now that we have solid snow cover.

Have been browsing through a few images from a trip to Far North Queensland a while ago. Funny how I invariably dismiss all my images on first viewing but given a little time manage to find a few I can live with :)

Thanks for viewing, favourites or comments.

Having finished photographing the sunrise of the lighthouse from Fort Revere Park, I looked around for other scenes and saw the light and color reflecting down in the harbor. That sure was a grand morning. Hull, Massachusetts, USA, June 2022

No, it is the the Time and Tide Bell near Mablethorpe on the Lincolnshire Coast.. On this vast beach it can be seen for miles but the weather although warm had a featureless almost colourless sky due to haze caused by pollution. I did my best to inject a little more blue into the sky without changing the colour of the bell but its still a little blah..

Nevertheless here it is...I would love to get another photo of this sometime and the beach is beautiful and vast and if you bump into anyone its rare - although the foot prints show that it does have a regular stream of visitors. Two people walking the shoreline in this shot show the scale of this beach ( if you can make their tiny figures out )

It starts ringing as soon as the tide comes in and other bells like it have already been installed at six beaches across the country.

Time and Tide Bell is an art project made up of bells, designed by UK sculptor Marcus Vergette and Australian bell designer Neil McLachlan, installed at coastal locations in the UK. The first one was placed at Appledore, Devon, in 2009 and the seventh at Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire in June 2019

Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caught.

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,

And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth

Of sun-split clouds, --and done a hundred things

You have not dreamed of --Wheeled and soared and swung

High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there

I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung

My eager craft through footless halls of air...

Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue

I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace

Where never lark or even eagle flew --

And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod

The high untrespassed sanctity of space,

Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

--John Gillespie Magee, Jr

The rest of the story: Touching The Face

Christi complained about being ghosted out and posted her own version here -> Touching The Face - Full

I don't know why I didn't read the poem out loud myself when I first posted this but I have revisited this and.....(wait for it) uploaded a new video based upon this image but with me reading it this time...The Face of God

Although we have been absolutely spoilt with abnormally hot weather in Ireland for weeks now, the amazing weather has brought with it clear blue skies. For me one of the most important elements to landscape photography is clouds. Having been keeping an eye on cloud cover for sometime nothing appeared to be changing anytime soon so I took a trip along the beautiful Antrim Coast anyway.

With so much on this stretch of coastline and with very long evenings brings with it so many people, I had stopped at two locations that I hoped to shoot but had to move on due to the crowds. Although not the shot I wanted or the conditions I would of liked its still great to be out on such a beautiful evening.

Please feel free to favourite and follow.

Have a great weekend!

"Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day."

- Ranier Maria Rilke

Aha....this tune is so darn lovely

Hope that day is going well

I have so many recent shots of the coast, macros of Lillies and Sunflowers, but just felt compelled to revisit and share some of magnificent Tasmania. It is such a beautiful natural place, the whole state. This is Dove Lake, north-west inland. It also boasts the most photographed boat shed in Australia, the only manmade construction in the place. (not in this photo though, have included a link to an older pic in the comments if interested)

This path is impossible to resist heading down, even if it's heading counterclockwise around the lake and the walkers generally go clockwise. Cradle Mountain frames the lake and is a world-class walking track of 5-6 days surrounded by untouched landscapes and full of wildlife.

This was a while ago now, with my first Olympus M4/3 camera and had me reflecting. There is probably a pun in there about mirrorless cameras and reflections, but I'll leave that alone, might reflect poorly on me. Actually, now I think about, I wouldn't mind a job cleaning mirrors, it's something I could see myself doing.

Hope everyone is well as we approach the end of another year hurtling around space on this fantastic planet of ours :)

"Have you always been a refugee

Going back to where you came

And even though you are much older now

In your heart you feel the same

Tell me how it used to be

Swimming in the coldest sea

And if you hide your memory

Could you open up your Heart

To a world that tore you apart ?"
