Getting Swallows in flight is a challenge for me. I shoot in their general direction taking aim as best I can, hoping for the best. Sometimes my hopes are realized!!!

In background you can see the famous arctic cathedral, one of the landmarks of the city and the Tromsø bridge
This flower is also known as Nigella. It was growing in my garden for the first time ever so of course I had to photograph it.
In addition to the Yellow-rumped Warblers, we saw a lot of Cedar Waxwings eating the Cedar berries. In fact that is where part of their name comes from. From allaboutbirds.org: "The birds’ name derives from their appetite for cedar berries in winter." The bird pictured here is an immature bird as evident by the prominent streaking on the breast and faint looking black mask as compared to an adult. Anoka County, MN 10/04/20
In the haunted forest, the trees they talk
The birds they cry, the ghosts they walk
Lovers are held close in the mist
Hearts beat fast, lips are kissed
Mystery swirls through the trees
Blown by fates ever changing breeze
Animals hide, as ghosts they walk
In the haunted forest, where the trees they talk
Photo taken by the fields in the area of Söttorp in Valbo Ryr parish, in the southwestern part of the province of Dalsland in Sweden, on a November day in 2024.
A cormorant in flight at the Leonabelle Turnbull Birding center in Port Aransas, Texas. I'm pretty sure it is a Neotropic Cormorant - there is a flock of those that live in the area, but it is too high to get a good look at the head.

The genus Vanessa comprises about 20 species and includes the most widespread butterfly in the world.
Vanessa braziliensis is arguably the most beautiful of the Painted Ladies. The butterfly is found in Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela, Paraguay, Uruguay and northern Argentina. It is normally found at altitudes between about 1800-3500 metres.

An impressive panoramic view after a somewhat short hike. I wasn't expecting that at all, such a nice surprise!
Bathed in shimmering reflections, a young duckling drifts gently through a stream that feels almost like liquid glass. The soft ripples and dancing highlights create a dreamlike atmosphere, turning a simple moment into something serene and poetic. I wanted to capture not just the subject, but the feeling of stillness—where time slows down and even the smallest life becomes the center of a glowing world.
Missing our boy right now. We’ve been visiting family in Wisconsin for the past 10 days and were supposed to go home Sunday. But our flight was one of many that was canceled and we couldn’t get another flight until Wednesday. So we’re camped out in a hotel for 3 days with nothing but photos of Jasper for our dog fix. Thank goodness our dog sitter was available to continue her stay with Jasper at our home. But we missed his 13th birthday on Sunday. So we’ll have to celebrate big when we get home.
This shot is at the riparian preserve in front of some barrel cacti. Having grown up in the desert he’s rather adept at navigating prickly stuff
A Pine tree stands in splendid isolation in a small plantation clearing high above the Lancashire plain.
The backdrop shows the two fell tops of Fair Snape on the left and Parlick on the right, linked by the ridge of Blindhurst Fell.
Another shot I took on a recent recce on the moors above home. I was surprised to see some remnants of snow still lying on the Fells in parts.
One train in my area I had yet to shoot was the ASRY's typical weekday early morning job to Ashland. I set out for Mansfield to catch their usual departure at dawn, only to find that the crew didn't even get on the train until 8:30. Thanks to Wak and DB for keeping tabs, after heading west to find an NS train I was able to loop back to Mansfield to catch them a couple miles out of town headed up the old Erie main.
The 31 seems to have the best paint job of the fleet, still holding up strong while most of the other geeps on the roster have already begun peeling after just a couple years. And this may be one of the toughest shots I've ever tried to level... everything in this scene is leaning one way or another.
In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich.

thanks for your birthday wishes - i really appreciate them :)

After a cold long walk, this morning, it was nice to return home, make a warm mug of coffee and have a seat at the kitchen island!

Saccharum spontaneum flower swaying against the concrete jungle of autumn in the wind. It grows on fallow land commonly known as wild sugarcane and Kans grass
From Peter Gabriel
in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes
