An early morning view of the Almerian coastline last Autumn and a lone "camper van" looking isolated, but essentially "free". These days will come back eventually and we will all be free again to get out in the big wide world.
I loved the light on this morning on my way back from a dawn photography trip to nearby Perulico. Great memories and a feeling I"m sure all landscape photographers enjoy from our silly o clock trips!

The Church of the Assumption on Bled Island and it's surroundings.
Bled is an Alpine town alongside glacial Lake Bled in northwestern Slovenia. It is the seat of the Municipality of Bled. It is most notable as a popular tourist destination in the Upper Carniola region and in Slovenia as whole, attracting visitors from abroad, as well.
The famous Lone tree on the edges of Llyn Padarn. Photographed by many and thankfully on the day that i captured this image, no one was about.
ayer me lo pasé bien, salí a ver si pescaba alguna roca solitaria ... volví contento con esta sencilla toma, la verdad no es fácil por aquí aislar elementos …
yesterday I went out to catch a lonely rock, it´s not an easy task here in my area so came back home pleased with this simple one ...

Mallard Duck (Drake) - Anas platyrhynchos
The mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) is a dabbling duck that breeds throughout the temperate and subtropical Americas, Eurasia, and North Africa and has been introduced to New Zealand, Australia, Peru, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, the Falkland Islands, and South Africa.
The wild mallard is the ancestor of most domestic ducks, and its naturally evolved wild gene pool gets genetically polluted by the domesticated and feral mallard populations
During the breeding season, both male and female mallards can become aggressive, driving off competitors to themselves or their mate by charging at them. Males tend to fight more than females, and attack each other by repeatedly pecking at their rival's chest, ripping out feathers and even skin on rare occasions.
The drakes that end up being left out after the others have paired off with mating partners sometimes target an isolated female duck, even one of a different species, and proceed to chase and peck at her until she weakens, at which point the males take turns copulating with the female. Lebret (1961) calls this behaviour "Attempted Rape Flight", and Stanley Cramp and K.E.L. Simmons (1977) speak of "rape-intent flights". Male mallards also occasionally chase other male ducks of a different species, and even each other, in the same way. In one documented case of "homosexual necrophilia", a male mallard copulated with another male he was chasing after the chased male died upon flying into a glass window.] This paper was awarded an Ig Nobel Prize in 2003.
The predation-avoidance behavior of sleeping with one eye open, allowing one brain hemisphere to remain aware while the other half sleeps, was first demonstrated in mallards, although it is believed to be widespread among birds in general.
The small community of Gimingham, north Norfolk uk.
Traveling to Cromer two weeks ago, I stopped off to take a snap of this little isolated community on a bright early spring day.
Fortunately, Gail and I spend all of our leisure time together, usually doing something like what we did today, photographing something. Today’s Coronavirus Day trip, one of my favorites, Cape May Fishing Fleet. Not as busy as usual
A relationship made in heaven....

October 2020 and the very first visit to the Lakes this year due to you know what...
It was so good to get back up here again as I've really missed it, the Autumn colours are just starting to turn and even though it poured down for a large part of the day it didn't matter.
This was our first stop off point on this day and the water levels in the lake were absolutely perfect for this, the last time I came here you couldn't even see the old jetty beneath the water, the timing on this was really lucky too as pretty much as soon as I had got this shot it started to rain...
Huge thanks to Mike Tonge too for letting me borrow his cable release to get this portrait version, seeing as mine was playing up, that's now been whizzed into the bin...
Anyway, great to be back, and a couple more images to come.
The new little boathouse on the opposite side of the water is a welcome new feature.

So, yesterday it arrived as promised........Snow, and I was day off! Un(Freaking)believable!
This was actually the last shot of the day but the others are taking a little longer to perfect and I have some other bits to work on so they will have to wait!
This has to be my favourite "lone tree" so far! I hope you lot like it!

During lockdown in the Netherlands I spend hours looking at the reeds reflections. The scenery changes every minute and watching the colours and patterns change with every wave or ripple I started to make photos, hundreds of photos. The impressions fascinate me and I decided to print some of the on canvas. This is the result.
Tijdens de eerste weken van de lockdown heb ik veel gefotografeerd. Kleuren en patronen van reflecties op het wateroppervlak veranderen snel onder invloed van ribbelingen en golven. Het effect heeft me gefascineerd. Bovenstaande is het resultaat. Een selectie van de beelden heb ik 60 bij 30 op canvas laten afdrukken.
Isolated, surfing the waves of life, swallowing water and surfacing, until the arrival of the next wave.
Sandhill Crane and Colt in nest.
This colt was born just the day before.
Between 34 to 48 inches in length with a wingspan of nearly 7 feet. They are very tall with a long neck and long legs. Largely gray with a red forehead. Juveniles browner with no red on head. Plumage often appears a rusty color because of iron stains from water of ponds or marshes.
They inhabit large freshwater marshes, prairie ponds and marshy tundra. They are also on prairies and grain fields during migration and in winter.
They range from Siberia and Alaska east across arctic Canada to the Hudson Bay and south to western Ontario. There are isolated populations in the Rocky Mountians, northern prairies, and the Great Lakes region along with in Mississippi, Georgia and Florida. They winter in California's Central Valley and across the southern states from Arizona to Florida. They can also be found in Cuba.
