Our Daily Challenge ... hobbies.
Bird watching is one component of my photography obsession. During the heat of summer most of the water birds I can see from my backyard disappeared ... presumably to cooler climes. However, they are starting to return and have discovered the conveniently located log on the edge of the lake.
Thanks to my friend Tyler for the chance to see some rare power on CP in the year 2013! CP 9134 & SOO 6044.
NGC 6744 is an intermediate spiral galaxy about 30 million light-years away in the constellation Pavo. It is considered as a Milky Way mimic in our immediate vicinity, displaying flocculent arms and an elongated core IC 4823 Can also just be seen in this pic as well in the mid to upper left.

Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
....from a visit to Buckley's Hole. Buckley's Hole Conservation Park is situated in the south-west corner of Bribie Island, the northern-most sand island in Moreton Bay, some 50 kilometres north of Brisbane. The park covers an area of 87.7 hectares and contains a freshwater lagoon, woodland, open forest and beach. It is this diversity of habitat that has led to such a large number of bird species being recorded in this small area, the present total standing at 270.

The IXV Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle is being prepared for launch at Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.
IXV will be launched 320 km into space on top of a Vega rocket, climbing up to 420 km before beginning a long glide back through the atmosphere. In the process, IXV will gather data on reentry conditions to help guide the design of future spaceplanes.

Second-largest of the egrets, working the edge of a lagoon in the Minnippi Wetland. I had originally ID'd as Great, but I think I can see breast plumes as well as those on the back.

Widespread resident. Smaller than the Great Egret, with shorter bill and neck. Black gape line does not extend beyond eye as in the Great. Bill is black and lores yellow green during courtship. (Bill black-tipped yellow and lores yellow in non-breeding adult). Usually in small flocks, but separate while foraging. Hunts chiefly by slow stalking.
Compare with the Cattle Egret, which is a little smaller than this egret.

I didn’t set out to make this particular image: the original composition was a shot of the Milky Way. This image was an unintentional result of an intermediate step in the process of compositing several exposures to capture the fireflies!
A block statue of the scribe Nebnetro.
This statue is covered with inscriptions and reliefs showing gods Ptah, Ra-Horakhty, Osiris and Amun.
Dedicated by son Hor.
On the info card it´s written that the statue is from the Late Period. But beside the hand of the scribe is a cartouche with the name Usermaatra Setepenamun, that is Osorkon II from the Third Intermediate Period.
22nd dynasty, from Karnak cachette.

Our final project in Intermediate Photography was to alter the print. The idea behind this is that images can just be shared online, but an altered print really has to be experienced in person. Naturally, I chose to go nuts with the LEGO stuff again. My idea was to go for some illusions after the print had been altered.

Here it is in action:
An Intermediate Egret in its breeding plumage. Looks quite beautiful - perfect white plumage, with a tinge of yellow near a black beak, and red eyes.

This bird has made an intermediate rest stop in one of the rocks surrounding our fountain/pond. Water is a better "bird magnet " up here than food... it's much more scarce in this semi-arid mountain region. The bird is checking out the activity below before dropping down to drink or bathe. This adult male is our most colorful western songbird.

Open lake! The geese will stay in my lake for a while and then they fly north!
