I wasn't set up to freeze or chase birds but I couldn't resist capturing this Magpie as it leapt off some powerlines at Beachmere, a Bayside town north of Brisbane. It did remind me of some of those shots of caped crusaders leaping off buildings as they chased the bad guys. Given the heavily overcast skies, it was nearly black and white so I have converted it fully.
Taken many years ago (2009!!), when there was quite a gap between an island and the edge of the pool, which the rabbits used to leap across!
Venus Pool - Shropshire
This adult Great Blue Heron had just flown in to a spot near where I was shooting Least Bitterns and proceeded to take several large gulps of water while moving toward an area where gulf menhaden were schooling in a large mass. The bird was certainly able to see the baitfish, but struck here halfheartedly as if undecided whether to drink or feed. I can't tell for sure if a menhaden got taken in with the swallow of water but given the density of the fish, it would have been hard to miss. Subsequently, the bird went into full feeding mode and no doubt got its fill.
NB: Armand and Horsepen Bayou are part of a coastal estuary that receives tidal saltwater inflow from Galveston Bay and fresh water runoff from inland watersheds. The brackish water in this section of Horsepen Bayou is saltier than water further upstream and most of the wading birds seem to prefer that fresher upstream water for drinking. I can't recall seeing a large heron drink so deeply in this section before.

“Today is an ephemeral ghost...
A strange amazing day that comes only once every four years. For the rest of the time it does not "exist."
In mundane terms, it marks a "leap" in time, when the calendar is adjusted to make up for extra seconds accumulated over the preceding three years due to the rotation of the earth. A day of temporal tune up!
But this day holds another secret—it contains one of those truly rare moments of delightful transience and light uncertainty that only exist on the razor edge of things, along a buzzing plane of quantum probability...
A day of unlocked potential.
Will you or won't you? Should you or shouldn't you?
Use this day to do something daring, extraordinary and unlike yourself. Take a chance and shape a different pattern in your personal cloud of probability!”

was the name of a play I went to see at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester, many moons ago. It had a young Robert Lindsey in it. Anyway, (!) the title of the play seemed to keep popping into my head for this less than sharp pic.

He is leaping for spring. This is another image of the gigantic lizard balloon. This guy was about the size of a football field. I got low to show him over the tulips at the Wood Shoe Tulip Festival last year.
Randolphs' Leap, at the river Findhorn, Forres, Scotland
Randolph's Leap’ is on the River Findhorn and is actually named after the point at the river where the sheer rock banks are closest, where according to legend Thomas Randolph, later Earl of Moray, was pursuing a Comyn, who leaped to the other side and escaped back to his castle. The Comyn castle fell and the lands were granted by King Robert to Randolph. The name gradually changed from Comyn's Leap to Randolph's Leap.
To celebrate International Zebra Day on Wednesday 31st Jan.
"The Plains (Burchell) Zebra is one of three zebra species found throughout the shrub and grasslands of Africa. They are closely related to horses and and donkeys, yet, are easily distinguished with their distinctive black and white striped coat!
Zebras are herbivorous and spend their days on the move, in search of fresh grass and water. Due to increased habitat loss, drought and farming in Africa, the zebra population is competing with livestock for water and is hunted for their unique black and white pelts.
The plains zebra is currently listed as a near threatened species."

Doesn't the symmetry in the wings and the spread of the feathers look good. Heading off after consuming another mouse.

This theme was to be taken on 29 Feb, but on this day I had a long drive from Scotland to home … 580 miles in 10 hours. So before leaving Scotland I took a quick snap of water leaping over a rock :))) Hope that's OK :)))
Idea concept from the assassin creed's game. My favourite is always AC2 because not only it has an awesome storyline but one of the most detailed breath-taking views of the architecture.

The light was iffy, but I went out anyway and was rewarded with a coyote hunting. 800-shots later, I have an overload coyote leaping shots.
