This photo from late December 2016 launched us privately into the past winter, and we now present it publicly as a tribute to the season, which was as fun a winter for a snow-loving dog as one could have wished.
From here on you will see me in the upcoming seasons of warmth and color, both in my Saturday chronological uploads and my Tuesday throwbacks.
Until we meet again, winter, goodbye!

We were blessed to see not one, but two of these birds today. I love them.

Our GSP having a mad ten minutes whereby she tears around the garden and leaps over row of planters and the top step to the greenhouse.
2020 is a leap year, in which frogs leap happily en masse! :D 😆
My workplace held a small Leap Day party and Playdoh was provided for us to make frogs. I didn’t attend the party but enjoyed seeing my colleagues’ frog creations very much!
I don't remember Petra being such a leaper before Kimi came along. Now, even though she is not here anymore, he still puts great leaps into his play. He actually has a small toy between his front paws here. I'm sure Petra misses his furry kitten friends, but he makes do with toys and with Simon.

one of my favorites from lenzi's senior portrait sesson today
this shot required the convergence of three elements :
a beautiful, agile dancer
a luminous sunset
and a fast camera lens...
we were fortunate to have all three :)
Since its the leap day of the leap year, I thought Id take a leaping photo.
Its nice to have fun with photography :D

On camera flash bounced off ceiling (in pttl) with another on camera flash (that i'm holding) pointing at my son (1/4 power).

Took a second (clean) shot without the chair I jumped from to remove it in post.
De-fishing.
If you feel that 2016 is dragging along unusually long this time around, you might be here on something.
Being already made a leap year by adding extra day, 29 of February, somehow didn't quite fix time keeping problem..
It has been decided to make 2016 even longer by adding a leap second at the last possible moment by stretching
last minute of this year to 61 seconds.
This might be one of these rare situations these days where mother nature still has upper hand over human interventions.
So, willing or not, I'm happy to go along and take that leap of faith into that extra second which should belong to next year.

A solo Dash 9 leads its train along the west bank of the Mississippi River, heading geographically northbound but timetable eastbound on the BNSF Hannibal Subdivision (former CB&Q). We're just south of Hannibal, MO, at a popular location known as Lover's Leap. The land seen across the river is in Illinois.
My wife and I were making a weekend getaway to Hannibal and I had not planned on going out of my way to take any train pictures, but I did time our visit to Lover's Leap for when the sun angle would be favorable, and we got lucky with a train after just a few minutes of waiting. The wife wasn't even bored yet.

A nice view of Govett's Leap on a cloudy, rainy day. Everyone else in the blue mountains had been cloudy and rainy, but over the hill and across the range the clouds hadn't set in yet. We watched as the clouds started to sweep up the rocky cliffs until the whole place was covered in fog in 30 minutes!
On a drive the other day, we saw three deer way across a field. Upon seeing us they headed to the bush and two of them leapt over a fence. The third deer stopped and moved further down the fence, where it was a bit lower.
From a standing position, in front of the fence, it leaped up lifting and tucking all four legs up into its body, parallel to the ground and then flung its back legs way up, as it was half way over, and .. as you can see in this image... did a dive back down onto its front legs and bounded off.
With her cub in tow, a mother leopard launches across a ravine along the Ewaso Nyiro River in Kenya’s Samburu National Reserve. Leopards, some of the best feline climbers, are also good jumpers, covering upwards of 6 meters in a single bound. The leap is easy for her and her smaller cub. In many cases these cats don’t chase their prey but simply wait in hiding for prey to pass by, pouncing on the unsuspecting animals at the appropriate moment. #Leopards
"Take my picture,” she said. “I’m going to do something.”
And this - quite unexpectedly - is what she did.

This summer.
Was nice.
I'll check my inbox when I'm in a better mood, promise.

Spent a few hours at Stainforth Foss yesterday with good friend Geoffrey Pain. 1 salmon made the leap while we were there but sadly he was soon back where he started and had to try again. More rain needed I think to raise the water levels!!
Many thanks to everyone for the comments and faves, very much appreciated.
Tucuxi (Sotalia fluviatilis) - Amazon River, Peru/Colombia border Area
9 times out of 10, I'd rather see some obscure frog species than a dolphin... However, I'll be the 1st to admit seeing these river dolphins launching themselves out of the Amazon River was definitely one of the highlights of the recent trip to Colombia. This is a tucuxi (Sotalia fluviatilis), only found in the Amazon basin. It is listed as data deficient by the IUCN. There is too little info to determine how threatened it actually is. But some threats it faces is death from getting tangled up in fishing nets, water pollution (often from mining) and dams. What I didn't know before arriving in Colombia is that there are two species of dolphins calling this part of the Amazon home, the pink river dolphin which is larger and rarely leaps from the water and these small tucuxis. I was lucky to see them both during my time in the Amazon. Photographing them was a real challenge but I got some shots I am reasonably satisfied with, such as this one.

One of the best known steps or stairs leading down to the Quayside. Dog Leap Stairs run from the Castle Garth to Side. The name has nothing to do with leaping dogs!
As we were driving down from Tobermory I saw this Hawk in the tree. Most Red Tail Hawks I encounter are very skittish, however this Hawk allowed us to photograph him for quite awhile..Then with a leap of faith he decided to leave us..LoL
If you are someone inclined to look at exif data you would notice that after 6 years there is a camera change here. I am not one who needs to keep up with the "latest and greatest". My little D610 has served me well and given me many images that I love. However, my eyesight which has been poor since childhood has taken a nosedive over the last couple of years due to retina complications. I found it harder and harder to focus my manual lenses...especially my favorite old 135mm. Even on auto focus I couldn't really see whether my images were acceptable unless I was tethered to my computer and that was rare since I only do a little studio shooting.
For many months I deliberated over whether I could justify the expense...and which Nikon to go for. The D850 images had crazy awesome megapixel stats...but it is heavy and pricey. Then Nikon ran a sale on the D780 and I bit. I am so glad I made the leap...I can see so clearly through the viewfinder, and the live view option as well as the tilting screen have made the chore of shooting into a delight again.
So just as these fresh new ferns signal a new beginning with summer, so my camera switch is providing a fresh approach in my photographic journey.
OH and PS...if anyone with decent eyesight is looking for a perfectly good used D610 cheap, just let me know.
Please press L and view in full screen.
Thank you so much for your visit!

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.
Happy Leap Day friends... this is so old but I wanted to join in on the jumping fun over here today :)
The knees ain't great and the jump shot --fuhgedduboutit, but for Friday and February's four-year adjustment, even aging men can take to the air. [No feet or small dogs were injured in the filming of this shot]
DDC "Today is...". Shyla's answer was obviously "Leap Day". She kept leaping over nothing at all. It looked as if she was leaping simply for fun!
just got back from yet another wedding shoot, it was an all dayer south of Aarhus, left on friday arvo, and just come back - sunday evening... long weekend... the prediction was for rain rain and more rain, but it totally cleared about an hour before the ceremony, and stayed nice and warm throughout the party....
just uploading 2000 pix - yes, i was trigger happy :) but an awesome day full of great subjects :) so, u guys gotta be happy with this one, not much done to it.... better version will come later i am sure :)
