Another shot of this gorgeous staircase from Hide Restaurant in Piccadilly, It's definitely one of my favourites in the city.
There's not a lot else to say about this shot, but I think I have one more to come from here with a more classic composition so look out for that at a later date.
Hope you like it.

Second image in a small series
from a walk in the forest at equinox
(or near enough ;-)
At the end of the week I'll take a short break from flickr.
My brushes are calling...
and I'm going to need some time to remember how to paint ;-)
I'll load the series before I go... a few more than my usual...
so please feel free with comments or with silence.
Happy equinox :-)
Looking out from one of the viewing ports at the Garbh Eilean Wildlife Hide. There are small islands, rocky islets revealed at low tide. Seals haul out and kip on the rocks, herons fly in to fish. We saw sea eagles and ottters nearby last week, but not today: just seals and herons. The views are beautiful even without sunshine, and it is so calm and quiet there. You could hear a fly fart.
With only a few hours to visit Mt Rainier National Park, I found myself being thwarted at nearly every turn by the atmospheric conditions around the mountain. Warm temperatures combined with upper level moisture to create a constantly building and shifting shroud of clouds around the peak.
Patience paid off, somewhat, by revealing this relatively unobscured view from the pull-out just above Stevens Canyon. I waited here for about 45 minutes to get a clear shot, and this was as good as I could get. Next time, I'll devote more time to this park. I was surprised by how much there is of interest beyond the iconic titular peak, with the Tatoosh Range mountains, the lush cedar forests, and the flower covered plains to the northeast. More than a day trip, to be certain!
If you look really closely, you can barely make out the Hermit Crab hiding in this shell. We were boating near New Smyrna Beach, Florida, and stopped on an island at low tide. Shells were everywhere, and I don't think I found more than one or two that did not have a crab in them.
…….Went for a wander to Aqualate Mere today - all quiet in the hide AND on the mere. A grey dull day as you can see as well, including a some light rain too. After much deliberation this is the chosen #061 taken on my phone in Apple RAW & edited in Lightroom. Alan:-)

This little squirrel seemed to be playing hide-and-seek! :-)) Hiding in an old stump and looking out of it, she did it with such incredible speed that this was the only photo I managed to take! 😊
O. Fomin Botanical Garden. Kyiv.
Parts of the Inokashira park are covered with cedar trees. Here is the Sun, peeking through the crowded cedar trees, and its rays hitting the grass in streaks.
I've taken my a6300 under water with a super cheap housing a few times now. Always with exceptionally poor results. I'm not blaming the housing mind you, poor dive skills and poor eye sight have a lot to do with it.
Anyway, I finally got a GoPro to make life underwater easier. White the quality might not be up to pixel-peeping standards, I thought this shot was kind of fun.

It looks like some insects are playing hide and seek on this proof of spring ......

[Childhood Series]
"Children do live in fantasy and reality; they move back and forth very easily in a way we no longer remember how to do." Maurice Sendak
Can you hear them? The children, I mean. Laughing, yelling, running through the field with nary a care, the freedom of childhood, before the responsibility of chores, hard work, tough times.
