One dream one soul, one prize
One goal, one golden glance of what should be
It’s a kind of magic
One shaft of light that shows the way
No mortal man can win this day
It’s a kind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind
It’s challenging the doors of time
It's a kind of magic
The waiting seems eternity
The day will dawn of sanity
Is this a kind of magic?

I'd love to know what this is called. She was more like a tiny living tank, or turtle with a carapace-like body that appeared to lift off her, or she could retract into it.

I spent some time this past summer trying to learn how better to secure images of pollinators of all kinds. That project was motivated by my sunrise walks down an abandoned road southeast of Ottawa, where overgrown wildflowers grew in thick and deep bunches on the sides of the road, and where butterflies and moths and bees and wasps spent the first light re-energizing for the new day.
The subjects of the photographs had a lot more freedom to drift away from the road to the wild meadows than I had - old fences and thick vegetation kept me pretty hemmed in. That meant having to get creative in most cases, which was part of learning how to manage the situation. I really liked this image, shot through a wall of vegetation to find the Skipper - not an especially exotic one for people who know these creatures - who was drinking from the wildflower.
This activity and the many early mornings it entailed was a response to the impact of the pandemic on birding and bird photography. Most of my usual places had not adjusted particularly well to the changed circumstances, and so the solitary mornings were just what the public health officials ordered.
I really hope everyone is safe and has a great holiday break. I now know people (healthcare workers) who are scheduled to be vaccinated shortly in Ottawa so things are slowly moving forward - please take care.
And many sincere thanks to the people who look at, like and/or comment on my images. I really appreciate the connection. I spend a lot of my free time looking at and learning from others, but this is an amazing community, and it offers a lot to me in different ways - especially with the superb images people are posting. So: many thanks, and stay safe.
What a surprise when a lovely bouquet of flowers turned up on the doorstep! JJ had been worried about me being so stressed by work last week and ordered them to cheer me up! What a sweetie!
I'd like to share them with you and say I hope everything is ok and you're staying safe. xox

The weather is starting to get more interesting. Just after a downpour on Kinder's Northern Edge.

Thought I'd better take a trip to Kinder Scout's Northern edge before the sun moves too far round to to get evening light.
Got a soaking on the way up but it was worth it. Kinder was in cloud on the way up, but it the end it cleared just a little too much. But at least the uninterrupted light gave me a chance to try a few compositions.
The Prothonotary Warbler is one of a kind in the Northeastern US, and it is so for a number of reasons. First of all, it is the only warbler in this area that nests in tree holes or nest boxes. The Lucy’s warbler also does so, but they are not found in the Northeastern US. The Prothonotary is a brilliant tangerine yellow, with a larger bill and head than most warblers. Found only in swamplands and near slow moving rivers and streams, these jewels of the avian world are declining in number due to habitat loss. Without continued protection of our wetlands from development, one of a kind could easily become none of a kind! #ProthonotaryWarblers

"Come take my hand
You should know me
I've always been in your mind
You know I will be kind
I'll be guiding you
Building your dream
Has to start now
There's no other road to take
You won't make a mistake
I'll be guiding you
You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive
Destiny will arrive
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you
From where I stand
You are home free
The planets align so rare
There's promise in the air
And I'm guiding you
Through every turn
I'll be near you
I'll come anytime you call
I'll catch you when you fall
I'll be guiding you
You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way..."
MAGIC (excerpt) - Olivia Newton-John, 1980.
Mi kinder Amestoy, genial hasta donde recuerdo, queda a unas 7 calles de mi casa y fue muy bello durante el tiempo que estuve ahi.
Thank you for your kind comments it's so encouraging to get some nice feedback !
I am fairly new to photography and I have always really struggled to get the exposures right, as I always over expose the sky.
With all of the pictures I took that evening, I used a 10 stop filter with a ND 8 hard grad to balance out the sky. It was such a beautiful evening, I was very lucky I think.......

Another from a a glorious morning in November 2016. Happy New Year everyone.
Kind of blue - KOB - the most "known" and appreciated jazz album of modern times.
i have this album in several formats - including 45rpm 12" vinyl -
a nirvana ( not the group ) of music .
2 versions here. Quite different... i have a favorite, but i wont tell you :)

This sheep owned Kinder Scout (a very high hill in the Peak District if you're not familiar)- just look how proud he was to have reached the top before us!....here he is trying to look all aloof and Kingly, but a few seconds after this, he was showing great interest in our picnic. I think he was after my Tunnocks Caramel Wafer (if you're not in the UK you might not know what these are- they are the food of Gods). He looks like a sheep of exceptional taste, doesn't he?
Wishing you all a great week ahead....and, can I be the first to say, isn't it dark early!!

I guess I've kind of lost the rhythm of being here on Flickr. I remember back when I started, I was so excited to see the result of everyone's creativity. Not that I'm saying I'm tired of everyone's work. But I think for me it's one of those things where I have to take a break in order to appreciate it again. I don't mean photography for me, but being on Flickr. I don't want to just comment on all of your work for the sake of just commenting. I really want to be sharing what I really think. By being on Flickr all the time before, I think I was falling into the habit of just stating vaguely what parts I liked about the picture, without really "looking" at the picture. I owe you guys so much more than just "commenting" half the truth.
With that said, I have my first class in University tomorrow! I'm actually really excited! As weird as this will sound, I'm more excited about what I'll learn more than the social aspect of being in University. Of course I'm ecstatic to meet new people, but at the same time, I'm crazy psyched to be part of a school that has so much to offer. I don't know what this year will bring me, but I really do hope I will be happy.
I took a walk today at golden hour to clear my mind for the new beginning. This was one of my favourites. I didn't notice the detail of the spiderwebs until I uploaded to my laptop. I'm very happy with this. As I'm typing this description and looking up at my picture, it's almost like a sign telling me I'm on the right track. I must say I feel very content.
(Whether it be high school or university) Hope all of you are having a great start to your new school year! : )

It's snowing outside again. But here's a break from all those lovely snowy photos. Some lovely light on Kinder Scout on Christmas Day. The day before a significant snowfall that lasted days.
...für Alle ein Lächeln
So sah der Stapel vorher aus.
