This guy really cooperated - kept landing and taking off from the same perch, hitting the water, so was able to set up and get him right when he was coming back to roost!

In the icy polar waters a Kittiwake was about to land after looking for food.

Not a sharp photo of a very beautiful moment. I was shooting some landscape scene with my heavy beloved beast. Manual setting for landscape and of course manual focus. So suddenly when hearing the huge sound of the swans wings movement in the air I had few seconds to snap with the above mentioned setting.

While visiting San Diego recently, I had an opportunity to stop by one of my favorite locations for views of the San Diego Skyline, Coronado. Had a great meal while waiting for the sun to go down, then set up the camera for a shot of the night sky.

If you get a chance to visit San Diego and Coronado, don’t forget to stop by the Hotel Del Coronado, its an amazing place with gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean. And, Ladies, if you are lucky you can sip an umbrella cocktail and watch those Buff Navy Seals perform "BUDS" training on the beach : )

Coronado is a California resort city on a peninsula in San Diego Bay. It’s known for the grand Victorian Hotel del Coronado, which opened in 1888. Across from the hotel, the wide, flat Coronado Beach draws surfers and sunbathers. The Coronado Ferry Landing has shops, restaurants and a small beach. Nearby, Centennial Park offers San Diego skyline views.

common buzzard I think

Moved from a shady spot by the stream to a sunny place in the garden, this echinops (aka globe thistle) has grown 6 feet tall with many globe-shaped flowers, loved by the bees.

Headed to Santa Fe, New Mexico for a meeting with TNC's Global Lands team - little time for photography but snapped this out the window of the plane while landing.

A Great Egret approaches a snag for a landing at Little Creve Coeur Marsh in St Louis, Missouri. I really like this version in black and white. Check out those water droplets coming off of both feet as he opens his claws to grab a perch!

This is for my friend Ethan, here is a landing image, albeit not on water but landing just the same, and being so big he over shot as you will see tomorrow.

Have a great day everyone and thank you for stopping by, catch up later.
