A scan from an old picture, taken in blavand danmark in the winter. My children between sky, water and earth.
We were hunting some mushrooms here. We got enough Chanterelles to put in our pasta sauce for dinner.

Isco 2x anamorphic, Konica 40mm (f2.8), SLR Magic rangefinder
More of Missy the cat:
Update: got rid of the rangefinder. Adds horrible softness, chroma, and eliminates anamorphic flare, at least with the isco. My advice is don't get one.
Green Heron (adult) - Florida Wetlands - 9/5/20
In The Wild - Palm Beach County, Florida USA
*[left-double-click for a closer-look - going out on-a-limb]
*[The Green Heron is relatively small; adult body length is about 17 inches. The neck is often pulled in tight against the body. Adults have a glossy, greenish-black cap, a greenish back and wings that are grey-black grading into green or blue, a chestnut neck with a white line down the front, grey underparts and short yellow legs. The bill is dark with a long, sharp point. - Thanks for looking]
[FYI: They are called "green" herons because of
the green color on their wings (see image below)]
The 25th of January is "Burns Night" which celebrates the life and poetry of the poet Robert Burns. Traditionally haggis is eaten served with tatties (mashed potatoes) and mashed swede (neeps) Little is know about the haggis only that its a nocturnal creature and only found in the wilds of Scotland.
This panoramic view was captured during an observing run of the 4-meter Victor M. Blanco Telescope (left) located at Cerro Tololo Observatory in the Chilean Andes. This telescope (funded by NSF 's NOIRLab) has helped astronomers to prove the acceleration of the cosmic expansion in 1998 by looking at distant supernovae!
💡Now, the Blanco telescope is studying the population of thousand of galaxies in the Universe and especially how dark energy is influencing them. For that mission, it is equipped with an astonishingly resolved CCD camera of 570 megapixels! A single 90 seconds photograph, that covers a region of the sky as wide as 8 full moons, can reveal up to 150,000 galaxies! This high-end imaging instrument is called #DECam - Dark Energy Camera - and was used during 758 nights between 2013 and 2019 as part of the Dark Energy Survey.
I took this photo in August 2018, when the survey was still being completed.

A young Double-crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) surveys its domain. This bird went fishing several times in hour I spent photographing the wood stork rookery in the background. Unfortunately, each time he returned empty-handed. Looks like he still has a bit of learning to do...
Palm Beach county, FL
Ah, off to some of my favorite things...barrelling through a humid South Carolina night, watching lighting playing in the distant cloudtops, talking photography with a friend, counting the minutes until I have my toes back in the saltwater and sand, listening to the waves break and enjoying a beach sunrise with my camera and friends.
Did one of my crazy drives to the coast for sunrise this weekend. Photography adventures with friends are always a great time. ;-)

Cooper's Hawk
Accipiter cooperii
ORDER: Accipitriformes
FAMILY: Accipitridae
www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Coopers_Hawk/overview
Colorado Springs, CO
This lovely hawk visits my trees just about every day hunting for small birds and doesn't seem to mind being watched as it hunts for its meal.
This photo proves the adage that it's best to let wildlife come to you, rather than chase it. I was sitting on the shore of a local lake, and when I glanced to my right, I noticed that this juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron and flown and in and landed not ten feet away, As long as was still, it cared nothing about my presence.
