This crow was watching 2 magpies on my front lawn. Every now and then he would swoop at them and drive them off.

Salida nocturna con Popewan y culture_wise para un nuevo intento de circumpolar, al llegar nos sorprendió la cantidad de caravanas que se encontraban en la zona y el estado de la caseta de vigilancia, con la balaustrada completamente destrozada, adiós a colocar la polar en la punta del mástil :(

9 tomas de 8 minutos unidas con Photoshop, en total 72 minutos

I've got that look of intent going on here. Not sure what I was intending on doing other than getting up off the floor.

Well I've just got changed and discovered I have some ridiculous tan lines going on from todays sun and I haven't a clue how I will explain those next time I go topless. one thing I do know my girls are going to pull my leg something chronic when they see it lol

northern pygmy owl

libby, MT

once again, my owls come in bunches. less than a week after finding my long-sought-after great gray owl, I was lucky enough to spot this little round ball from the highway. so amazing to get a chance to watch these tiny little owls.

Captive bird at Muncaster Castle Hawk and Owl Centre.

A yellow-billed Kite.

Canon R with 70-200mm f/2.8L lens as I didnt have anything with longer reach with me.

Made a few mistakes - should have gone for shorter exposures (1/2000 as minimum) and probably should have switched off IS. Had a dreadfully slow memory card so buffered frequently which didnt help.

Probably should use a bit of exposure compensation as well!

But I'm getting there!

Until now, Ive mostly captured perched birds - I want to work at birds in flight. Hopefully, this is just the start!

De haber realizados las tomas verticales, me hubiera quedado mejor esta panorámica. También intenté incluir demasiado en la panorámica por éso tuve que dejar algunas tomas fuera. Son unas cuatro tomas en total. No voy a pasar mucho por aquí en los próximos días porque necesito descansar. Disculpar si tardo en comentar vuestras fotos.

This is a panorama of Corunna's old port. I will keep a low profile for a few days because I need to rest. Excuse me if I take too long to comment your photos.

Clipped him (but I still like it) - I was concentrating so hard on focusiing on his head - these birds really move and the light was difficult - rain, black sky and thunder and lightening.

I HATE when the time changes.

Throws my whole internal clock off!

I was busy in the house when I suddenly realized that the sun was getting low already, and had to hurry to take my walk today before I lost the light.

When I reached the field I found my red buddy already there and busy hunting for supper.

Chap in cafe in the Quartermile development (which mixes refurbished old, Victorian buildings with brand-new, modern ones, on what used to be a huge hospital site), quite intent on whatever he is working on in his laptop at lunchtime, while a group of women behind him are enjoying a chat.

Explore is a Flickr feature

with the intent of showing you "some of the most awesome photos on Flickr." Photos are automatically selected by computer according to a secret algorithm called Interestingness .

United States Patent Application

...

October 26, 2006

Inventors: Butterfield; Daniel S.; (San Francisco, CA) ; ff

OnExplore, Explore, inExplore, onExplore, explored

The top 500 photos ranked by Interestingness are shown in Explore. Interestingness rankings are calculated automatically by a secret computer algorithm. The algorithm is often referred to by name as the Interestingness algorithm. Although the algorithm is secret, Flickr has stated that many factors go into calculating Interestingness including: a photo's tags, how many groups the photo is in, views, favorites, where click-throughs are coming from, who comments on a photo and when, and more.

The velocity of any of those components is a key factor. For example, getting 20 comments in an hour counts much higher than getting 20 comments in a week.

Ni qué decir tiene que desde que Sabella nos mostró su maravilla de anillo, más de una nos hemos enamorado locamente

www.flickr.com/photos/sabella/3182360518/

Pues éste es el resultado del primer intento. Evidentemente es muuuucho más peque porque de momento sólo llego a forrar las de 15 ( nif, nif).

Otra cosa, Sabella nos tendrá que desvelar cómo "recórcholis" ( ahora soy fina) cortó el bolote, porque yo un poco más y me quedo sin dedos ( y los de mi marido detrás). Seré burra !!

Pues eso, dedicádísimo a la reina de las Bbs, que te hace un anillo con media bola que nada tiene que envidiar a la más bella cúpula de cualquier catedral xD.

Un beso.

Sally, the hard-to-get Stigma, seems to be avoiding the advances of Harry the Anther - the mood is right, but he doesn't turn her on!

I made an earlier upload of this shot friends, but had to pull it down for censorship reasons :-) Seriously however, it had a couple of processing glitches which required some minor restoration.

My apologies if you had viewed and it then vaporised

So I thought I'd try for a closer shot but I thought she'd noticed me but never did then walked away after this.

It spotted something, has eye fixed on the target but the foray was unsuccessful.

Tercera visita a este edificio, siempre intentaba aislarlo de su entorno y no me convencia... y lo he enmarcado y me atrevo a publicarlo

Walking home from last week’s workshop, I absolutely wanted to capture these colours as I saw them. Crossing the road several times, finding the right frame, waiting for several cars to pass and selecting the right f-stop took several attempts before I got this one. The sunset is as I saw it then, the raw file helped me to recover the street life from the dark depth of the camera’s black heart. 😊

Still playing around with images left over from our May trip to Yellowstone....we watched this guy for quite some time as he grazed in & around the woods not far from the Hellroaring trailhead. He eventually meandered out into the open and was not a bit disturbed or interested in the crowd he had attracted other than to lift his head every so often and look at the spectators. He was much more intent on feeding after emerging from his winter hibernation.

Note to self; Stop being lazy and keep uploading.

Feels good to get back in to the swing of things, school ending really disturbs habits, it's too easy to lose track of the days, that's for sure.

Of the two girls, one is checking her phone but the other is seemingly fixated on candy floss though I'm sure it was something else that is catching her eye.
