Kruger National Park
This photo was taken at the Letaba rest camp in the Kruger National Park. The camp is situated on a sweeping bend of the Letaba River, midway between the southern and northern boundaries of the Park.
In winter the gardens are a riot of color, with several species of Aloe and the Impala lily in full bloom.
The Aloes attract a variety of birds, including the Collard, White-bellied, Marico and Scarlet-chested Sunbirds, Crested Barbet, Black-headed Oriole, Black-eyed Bulbul and Red-winged Starlings.

La Mésange bleue est une petite mésange qui tire son nom de la couleur bleue de sa calotte, de ses ailes et de sa queue. Sa tête est remarquable. La face, largement blanche, est barrée de trois traits bleu sombre à noirs, deux traits qui passent par l'œil pour rejoindre la nuque de même couleur, et un large trait qui rejoint un collier, qui lui-même borde les joues blanches et rejoint la nuque. Le mâle adulte se distingue à la teinte bleue du plumage plus marquée, surtout à la calotte. Le bleu de la femelle est plus terne.

The blue tit is a small tit that gets its name from the blue color of its cap, wings and tail. His head is remarkable. The face, largely white, is barred by three dark blue to black lines, two features that pass through the eye to join the neck of the same color, and a broad line that joins a necklace, which itself borders the white cheeks and joined the neck. The adult male is distinguished by the blue hue of the plumage more marked, especially the cap. The blue of the female is duller.
This shot was taken when I was out strolling around in the nearby nature reserve of "Norra Järvafältet". I was looking for a single tree located in a grassy field so I could take a "frosty, foggy" shot later this year. I didn´t found exactly what I was looking for but I found this tree and decided I should try to find some good compositions. The tree's branches form a bit of a "mushroom hat" and are fairly symmetric. I will go back in the autumn and see how the scene changes and what colors that bring. This image is processed to be on the warm side, with saturated colors and "golden" glow to it.
This shot was taken with my Nikon D7200 and Sigma 24-105mm f4.0 art lens.

Dunnet Head Lighthouse is an active 19th century lighthouse that stands on the 300-foot (91 m) cliff top of Easter Head on Dunnet Head. The lighthouse is 66 feet (20 m) tall and was built in 1831 by Robert Stevenson, grandfather of Robert Louis Stevenson. The lighthouse was automated in 1989, and the keepers were withdrawn. It is now checked remotely by the Northern Lighthouse Board operations centre in Edinburgh
I was fascinated by the seed heads on a Clematis plant in the garden. Quite a thing of beauty, especially close-up when it catches direct light. I picked one and set it up in front of a black card, and used a flash to create the highlights, shooting with a macro lens and using in-camera focus stacking.

I found this during my morning walk at Kasavanahalli lake in Bangalore, India.
It was quite noticeable for the prominent red mark on the head but I found out that this is called Grey-headed ...
A vocal Yellow-headed Blackbird letting his competition know that this is HIS territory. Nice to see a few back in the Minnesota River Valley amongst the thousands of Red-winged Blackbirds.
