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

66 Leap Year - 120 pictures in 2020
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.
Nice surprise today got an email saying I had won the Mammal Society's 1st Mammal Photographer of the Year Competition with my image Leaping Rat
This is Viktoria - one of the two stunning Puma's at WHF - jumping over her pool onto a log - I have to say i think this is my favourite shot of the day !
Happy New Year to everyone out there , all the best to you.
Well its a leap year and this is quite some leap.
The performers are a Brussels based company Tripotes la Compagnie who performed an amazing acrobatic show called ENCORE UNE FOIS. This included using a double spring board that literally sent the performers into orbit. It was part of Hulls 2023 Freedom Festival

This looks like I added a texture, but even though I am a texture addict, this time there is not one. I did take a series of shots, so I will experiment with some effects and bore you with them at a later date.
Leap leaf. :) Leaf stuck in a frost covered walk bridge on a 31 F degree morning. Temps warmed to low 60's F that afternoon.
Photos from two quick walks at the park on leap day, February 29, 2020 for fun. Some in morning, others late afternoon. Sorry for so many. Will be 4 years before I can get them again. :)

I look for action photos when I photograph dance and seeing all of the dancers in the air at the same time is plenty of motion/movement for me.
If I was their teacher I would use this photo to show that some need to remember to point their toes.

It was snowing and blowing today. Let's hope we can 'Leap' into Spring!!
Right after this picture.. it was totally white.. no visibility!
It was "originally sited on the upper-story portion of the east wall of the palace at Knossos in Crete". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull-Leaping_Fresco
Now in the Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Heraklion, Crete
Year: 1450 BC
Dimensions: 78.2 cm × 104.5 cm (30.8 in × 41.1 in)
(Wikipedia)
The palace of Knossos was "the ceremonial and political centre of the Minoan civilization and culture." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knossos
"Bull-leaping is thought to have been a key ritual in the religion of the Minoan civilization in Bronze Age Crete. As in the case of other Mediterranean civilizations, the bull was the subject of veneration and worship. Representation of the Bull at the palace of Knossos is a widespread symbol in the art and decoration of this archaeological site." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull-leaping
The Minoan civilization is named after the mythological first king of Crete Minos, who is said to be the son of Zeus and Europa, a Phoenician woman, who had been abducted by Zeus in form of a bull.
Lucky enough to get this picture of a model at The Bund in Shanghai looking towards the financial district with a sunrise through the haze
Atlantic Salmon on the River South Tyne this morning leaping up a waterfall/weir near the small town of Haltwhistle in Northumbria, UK
Black stork (Ciconia nigra), Zwarte ooievaar
This bird, strangely enough, spent more than a week in March 2022, during its migration northward, hanging about in the town of Dieren, the Netherlands. Perhaps it ran out of energy? Good thing someone tossed it day-old chicks (dead) in this garden and guess what? The bird had a ravenous appetite. During its stay it made short flights including to the nearby railroad station (!).
Thanks for all your kind comments, they are much appreciated
I got back to playing in the water. This is a three drop water droplet. I used blue food coloring, a thickener in the water, three flashes with one with a reddish filter. The two blue drops you see are from a dirty Pluto Trigger.
Taken in 2019 at Stainforth Force near Settle.
The number of Salmon have become less year on year ever since.
