The same view, but a couple of days earlier: www.flickr.com/photos/dameboudicca/49187929671
And a few months later:
Something a little different today. I always miss seeing the vast fields of late spring / early summer wildflowers from the more northern regions, however, our 'fire wheels' have their own special beauty ...
Have a fantastic weekend, everyone :)

... I think I might have to explain this one ;) ...
... it's not that I like being on my knees, or am running around with kneepads in my spare time ... nothing like that ...
... (although ? ... naaaah haha) ...
... I like to make photo's from "nothing" and see if there is "something" :) ... I think there often is ...

We are never fully prepared for life's hard times. And sometimes they bring us to our knees. The only thing I do is let it happen, let it wash over me and wait for better days.
On n'est jamais vraiment preparés pour les coups durs de la vie. Et parfois ils nous mettent a genoux. La seule chose que je fais est que je laisse la vague me prendre et j'attends les meilleurs jours.
Took my good friend Alfred (www.flickr.com/photos/alfredlockwood) to see the World's premier venue of the beautiful virgin giant Bald Cypress.
Mother Nature served up an eerie/misty daybreak for us that morning.....a photog's dream.....
And though it was a bit late this year......we hit the peak color on top of that. Guess Alfred brought us quite a bit of luck.
While navigating the boat, I spotted this group of cypress surrounded by a nice cluster of cypress knees. The Cajun French name for these is Boscoyo (pronounced boo-ski-o).
For a Cajun Country explanation on these.....here it directly from Alfred's new friend:

Thank Y'all for taking a look. Comments always welcome.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving Weekend
Red-necked Avocet (Recurvirostra novaehollandiae)
Seen in the Kororoit Creek, Altona, a couple of years ago.
This is the real meaning of the expression "Knee-deep in snow" for the Victoria area. We rarely get much snow and it is so unusual to get it this late in Winter. Unfortunately, it does create a bit of chaos as we are not really equipped to face any real Winter conditions. The light was very dull so a fairly high ISO and a flash was used to photograph the bird. The juncos rarely stop moving for any decent amount of time and I think the snow falling made them even more frantic than usual.
Senegal Thick-knee - Queen Elizabeth National Park, Western, Uganda
Bird Species # (651) that I photographed and placed on my Flickr Photostream. Overall goal is 1000.
On this trip to Uganda we used Ngoni Safaris Uganda. They provided excellent service. I highly recommend them.

Cypress knees are woody outgrowths from the shallow roots of bald Cypress, such as the tree trunk pictured here.
Thank you for visiting my photo stream!
This cow elk was trying to eke out a living in the deep snow of the Grand Canyon highlands. It always amazes me they can thrive in such deep snow, with so little to eat. Here's hoping spring will soon come!
Australian Pied Oystercatcher (Haematopus longirostris)
Seen at Altona North beach couple of years ago.
western sector of the Serengeti, Tanzania
Thick-knees ( Burhinidae ) are also called Stone Curlews or Dikkops and are large waders/shorebirds ( the order Charadriiformes ).
They all have large eyes and long thickly jointed legs.
The Spotted Thick-knee is often active at night when its loud call can be heard from a distance.
This one was resting in the shade together with its partner

Despite using my 600mm lens, this bovine was on to me quite quickly despite all the lush green grass it had to dine on! Should wash your knees before dinner though!

Relaxing. The water thick-knee is a terrestrial feeder that forages at night. Although it is typically associated with water it can be found foraging up to 1 km (0.62 mi) from water. It feeds on insects, crustaceans and mollusks.
Got right in amongst the wves for this one to time a wave coming in along with it receding at the same time, caught just about right

I noticed a sign for this garden as we drove near York on our way to the Yorkshire coast. When we looked up the unusual name, we decided to visit on our journey home. It was well worth a visit, with 20 acres of garden, divided into different area - some modern in design, some more traditional. The shot above shows part of a lovely wildflower area.
The shot in the comment shows the entrance to the garden.
