After arriving there in Kauai I had learned that the island was receiving record breaking waves(40-50ft) and most of the beaches where either closed or severely battered. At Ke'e Beach, on my 4th day I found that the swell had receded and some of the beaches had reopened to the public. I wandered around in the rain looking for a suitable composition for a midday capture and luckily realized that my footsteps would compromise a serene beach setting so I moved down into the water to prevent inadvertently spoiling the scene with footprints, why not I was already drenched. I spent a couple of hours dodging the surf and cleaning the beach and waiting out the rain and the intermittent surf would occasionally throw a huge swell in and wash all the way up the shore and rinse off the beach, so I cleaned the debris out of my composition and waited for a large swell to rinse the sand. In hindsight it would have probably been easier to clean up the beach in Photoshop, but after reviewing the days photos I found this one to be kinda cool with my footprints included. Hope you like it too!!!

We were treated to a constantly changing landscape of swirling fog and intermittent sunshine as the storm blew across the lake. I've always wanted to see Crater Lake with snow, so I especially enjoyed this brief visit.
Happy Thursday! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, faves and awards -- I appreciate them all.

This is Atticus high stepping and happy after devouring a few voles on this day. The day was very windy with intermittent rain.
Next week an action shot.
male Bengal Tiger in Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh in India
after finding tracks on the road and hearing intermittent calls from inside the forest we decided to stop and wait at a turn of the road so we could monitor a longer stretch ...........
after nearly an hour this male Tiger appeared and we were the only vehicle at the sighting

Lake Cerknica is an intermittent lake. In late summer period, the lake is completely drained into the reservoirs lying below its level.
Standing in the nearly dry bed of the Buck Branch on a cold autumn afternoon.
The Mid-Atlantic states go through intermittent periods of drought, in the late summer and early autumn, causing water levels to fall on the many tributaries that feed the Potomac, Susquehanna, and other major rivers flowing into the Chesapeake Bay.
Having relocated from Bethesda, Maryland to San Diego, California, I must admit to missing the autumn colors that I grew up with and spent the last few years getting reacquainted with. But, when winter arrives, I'll be thankful for our near constant temperatures, and clear, sunny days.

Ruby or Globe Eyed Tree Frog - Leptopelis Uluguruensis is Endemic to Tanzania - its natural habitats are subtropical and montane forests, rivers and intermittent freshwater marshes. Sadly It is like all creatures on earth, threatened by habitat loss.

The Roman Forum
Ancient Rome is considered the Roman civilization from the founding of the Italian city of Rome in the 8th century BC to the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD.
The civilization began as a settlement on the Italian Peninsula, in 753 BC, that grew into the city of Rome. The Roman Empire expanded to become one of the largest empires in the ancient world, with an estimated 50 to 90 million inhabitants (roughly 20% of the world's population at the time) covering 5.0 million square kilometres at its height in AD 117.
The Roman Forum is a rectangular plaza surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the center of Rome. Citizens of the ancient city referred to this space, originally a marketplace, as the Forum Magnum.
For centuries the Forum was the center of day-to-day life in Rome: the site of triumphal processions and elections; the venue for public speeches, criminal trials, and gladiatorial matches; and the nucleus of commercial affairs. The teeming heart of ancient Rome, it has been called the most celebrated meeting place in all history. the Forum is located in the small valley between the Palatine and Capitoline Hills. Today the Forum is a sprawling ruin of architectural fragments and intermittent archaeological excavations.

This photograph was taken in February at Skogafoss waterfalls during our memorable visit to Iceland. We visited an ice cave the previous day near Diamond Beach and encountered an icy storm that prevented us to drive to the Skogafoss hotel that we were scheduled to stay.
It was sunny and slightly breezy, and the water droplets from the waterfalls helped create the conditions for rainbow segments to be seen intermittently. This photograph showed visitors enjoying their time admiring the waterfalls and surrounding scenery. In the foreground, the shallow water provided interesting reflections of the waterfalls and the cloudy sky.
Best wishes for a wonderful weekend!

Scientific name: Hibiscus schizopetalus
Popular names: Japanese Lantern, Curly-Mimo, Coral Hibiscus
Family: Malvaceae
Category: Shrubs, Tropical Shrubs, Climbers
Climate: Equatorial, Oceanic, Subtropical, Tropical
Origin: Africa
Height: 1.2 to 1.8 meters, 1.8 to 2.4 meters, 2.4 to 3.0 meters, 3.0 to 3.6 meters, 3.6 to 4.7 meters
Luminosity: Partial Shade, Full Sun
Large shrub (between 3 and 4 meters) with long, hanging branches. The Coral Hibiscus flowers are a show of their own.
The delicate flowers are a bright red color or streaked red and pink, they are always pending, supported by a long peduncle and adorned with curly and curved petals. In the garden we often see this plant isolated, but it can be used in groups.
The distinctive flowers with their frilly petals and long slender column are variously described as looking like an oriental lantern, a parachute or a chandelier. Plants will bloom intermittently throughout the year if they have sufficient light. If pollinated, flowers may be followed by oblong seed capsules.
Coral Hibiscus should be grown in full sun or partial shade in fertile, drainable soil, enriched with organic matter and irrigated periodically. It is usual to use tutors or fences to give the plant a more well-behaved appearance. Pruning leaves the plant with a more compact shape and renews the foliage. Does not tolerate severe cold or frost. Multiplies by cuttings.
Fledgeling Great Spotted Woodpecker [Dendrocopos major]
This little beauty is about 23/24 days old. He (?) fledged yesterday so his parents will be feeding him for the next ten days, then he’s on his own.
Here, he was squawking to be fed, as his father came and went with tasty morsels for him.
I think there are two nests near The Pixies, (where I feed the birds: a mile down the hill from my house, in the woods, next to the stream), as I’ve seen two different females. So far, I’ve seen three fledgelings, only one of which has been feeding himself, intermittently, while the parents take turns at feeding all of them, whilst still tending the others in their nests.
A great joy to watch these beautiful young birds.

If you simply look up Lost Lake in Oregon you will find there are nearly twenty Lost Lakes. So we often define each by either the forest or the county they are located.
This Lost Lake is in Mount Hood National Forest 10.1 miles northwest of Mount Hood in Hood River County in Oregon.
The lake is bounded on the east by 4,468-foot (1,362 m) Lost Lake Butte and on the southwest by 4,556-foot (1,389 m) Preachers Peak. To the southeast of the lake you can view Mt Hood, it is the highest peak in Oregon and the 4th highest in the Cascade range. The lake is fed by three unnamed intermittent creeks from Lost Lake Butte, and Inlet Creek from Preachers Peak. The lake maintains a very consistent level via an outlet at the north tip, the source of Lake Branch Hood River, a tributary of West Fork Hood River. It is the second-deepest lake in Mount Hood National Forest after Wahtum Lake at 167 feet (51 m)
A high key image,in horrible conditions with intermittent snow blizzards that day,but i had just received my new 600mmf/4,and i wasn,t going to let that stop me!
Thanks for your comments and faves,they are truly appreciated.
As Blanca came bounding down the dune, she was only visible intermittently when she jumped above the grass. I was so happy to have caught her not only above the grass but also in focus with the Lensbaby lens.
We both love playing in the dunes. She likes to run up the dune really fast! I'm a little slower ... and have to laugh about my bipedal clumsiness! Either way, it's really good exercise!
Minimal techno is a subgenre of techno music. It is characterized by a stripped-down aesthetic that exploits the use of repetition and understated development.
Another banner day with two owls. The sun was out earlier then became strong. We left our first one and located this cooperative second one. The weather changed for the better. Wind picked up, clouds came in, and that followed with intermittent rain and sun as well. Gotta love a natural eye level perch :) Click for large view.
Got antsy today and decided to explore another area I had not gone. The wind was calm but the rain was intermittent. Anyways, got this fella in the rain near a rushing creek.
The sun made intermittent appearances creating beautiful dappled light, and with the temperatures so low the warmth in the calm air helped my fingertips too.
This image was taken en route to Cairnsmore of Carsphairn, a wonderful day to be on the hills.

Ad oggi, il Mignattaio è una specie rarissima, che in Italia è presente in modo molto localizzato e con popolazioni piuttosto ridotte. Solo nell’area del Delta del Po e delle Valli di Comacchio la specie nidifica con una certa regolarità, mentre altrove le nidificazioni appaiono più intermittenti e a nuove colonizzazioni corrispondono spesso estinzioni locali.
Tra le peculiarità di questa specie, risalta, anche all’occhio meno attento, il lungo becco incurvato verso il basso, talmente prominente da permettere a questa specie di procacciarsi facilmente il cibo, camminando sull’acqua bassa della palude dove vive e nidifica.
Piccoli pesci, anfibi, ma anche invertebrati e insetti costituiscono la parte essenziale della dieta del Mignattaio

Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, rivers, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.
je ne sais pas pour vous, mais j'ai accès par intermittence à ma galerie et aux vôtres, mes commentaires et favs ne restent pas
et je n'ai pas voix au chapître "groupes", bref, je perds un peu patience avec ce site en dérangement constant et du coup,
je ne rattrape pas mon retard, grrrrrr...
Road trip day 2. After leaving Sarina around 3pm we hit a huge storm with torrential rain. (cleaned the car nicely by the way :)) The rain continued intermittently for several hours then slowly eased. We turned off the highway for a rest stop and could see the sunset peaking through the clouds. I thought it looked amazing, I hope you like it.
I’m told by my husband this is every little boy’s dream – to be the first to find a lake that hasn’t felt the blade of a skate or the slap shot of a stick. I love when people connect with my work and this image sparked a flood of so many memories of his youth. Hope you enjoy it as much.
Although my visits and postings to Flickr have been intermittent as of late, I miss you all. Thank you for your visit, all of your kind comments, invitations and favorites. This image may not be copied or distributed without my written consent. © All rights reserved.
Construction of Sagrada Família commenced in 1882 and Gaudí became involved in 1883, taking over the project and transforming it with his architectural and engineering style, combining Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms. Gaudí devoted his last years to the project, and at the time of his death at age 73 in 1926, less than a quarter of the project was complete. Sagrada Família's construction progressed slowly, as it relied on private donations and was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War, only to resume intermittent progress in the 1950s. Construction passed the midpoint in 2010 with some of the project's greatest challenges remaining and an anticipated completion date of 2026, the centenary of Gaudí's death.
* This is the last of my winter images from Norway and while I am pleased with the shot, it was a complete fluke .
I had of course intended to shoot the moon over the Malangen Fiord and include the boathouse in the composition . It was not till I got home that I noticed the odd green reflection. I was sure there were no green lights near the boathouse. I finally realised by sheer Luck I had caught the reflection of the Northern Lights in the water . Later on that evening they covered most of the sky and were very bright. However earlier in the night when I took the shot they were also appearing but intermittently in small areas of the sky and with less intensity . I had clearly caught one of these brief appearances . Has anyone else been photo bombed by an aurora Borealis
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED
Shot in St. Anne, Illinois (population 1.161). Please forgive my recent intermittent participation in Flickr. My brother-in-law was recently diagnosed with brain cancer and my priority needs to be on family.

Intermittent flow but sure to invigorate the senses
The words to this song made me laugh paired with this image and title :)

Situated on the grounds of Culloden Battlefield lies Leanach cottage. This beautiful thatched cottage attracts many visitors throughout the year and is a lovely memory of the history of the battlefield. Today, we thought we’d share a little more about the cottage and why it is so special to all of us here at Culloden.
Leanach is one of the last survivors of a once common local structure type of a single storey thatched building. Today the building stands as an isolated structure but in the past this area was well populated and the land divided into smallholdings. Historical maps show a number of farmsteads in the close vicinity with small pockets of individually cultivated land, however, Leanach is now one of the only surviving examples of this landscape.
The cottage itself was likely constructed in the early 18th century, probably as part of wider improvements on Culloden estate and originally would have been a T-shaped structure. In the 17th and 18th century estate owners provided their tenants with the wood for their roof crucks whilst the tenant was responsible for the construction of the walls of their houses.The walls were often made from local stone and/or turf at the gable ends.
During the Battle of Culloden Leanach Cottage was situated in between the Government lines and it is likely the building would have been used as a field hospital for the government men.
Following Culloden there were several periods of occupation, sometimes intermittent and the shape of the building appears to have been altered by the demolition of the western end of the structure in the mid-late 1860s, leaving an L-plan structure which can still be seen today. The building then appears to have been abandoned again shortly after this and fell into a ruinous state (late 1860s-1880s). The cottage was then rebuilt and reoccupied in the early 1880s, possibly as part of Duncan Forbes’ work to memorialise the Battle of Culloden during which time he also built the memorial cairn and erected grave stones on the clan graves.
The last occupant of Leanach Cottage was Belle MacDonald who lived here until she died in 1912. Her family apparently gave tours of the battlefield to interested visitors as the Victorian railway brought tourists into the highlands. In 1924 the Gaelic Society of Inverness and Thomas Munro Architects set out to repair and conserve the building and the original steeply pitched roof was replaced with a shallower one.
The National Trust for Scotland was gifted Leanach Cottage in 1944 by Hector Forbes, the local land owner, and it became the original visitor centre in 1961. Quite different from the centre we have today it had a few simple panels to allow people to experience the story of the battle. Minor alterations continued until 1978 when the NTS removed the old 1920’s roof and replaced it back to a steeply pitched roof more in line with the original crucks which were still visible in the western wall.
With the opening of the new visitor centres Leanach has been able to retain its charm and beauty and we hope to be able to open the cottage once again next year so visitors can see inside this lovely piece of history.
♫ Brand New Day ♫ - Sting
Today
by Billy Collins
If ever there were a spring day so perfect,
so uplifted by a warm intermittent breeze
that it made you want to throw
open all the windows in the house
and unlatch the door to the canary's cage,
indeed, rip the little door from its jamb,
a day when the cool brick paths
and the garden bursting with peonies
seemed so etched in sunlight
that you felt like taking
a hammer to the glass paperweight
on the living room end table,
releasing the inhabitants
from their snow-covered cottage
so they could walk out,
holding hands and squinting
into this larger dome of blue and white,
well, today is just that kind of day.
Quebrada de Quepiaco is an intermittent river of the Altiplano at about 4000 m altitude located nearby the Bolivian border. It flows languidly, forming here and there small ponds with beautiful blue colour.
