Oh my goodness I am so excited. I think I have my groove back. This shoot was lovely and such a pleasure to do.
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.
As storm clouds were rolling in I saw this dog sitting on a car so I decided to take a photo of it. As I was pressing the shutter release it suddenly leaped off the car blurring my shot. Or, possibly I just imagined that and in actuality my my depth of field was too shallow. Rats! This could have been a good one.
The dog was atop a beautiful 1939 Lincoln Convertible Sedan in attendance at the CCCA Grand Classic on June 4, 2016 at the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan.
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!
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
Had to be a quickie this evening as short on time. I got the cardboard cut out from the other night and drew a new silhouette of someone jumping the void. I decided to try for some star trails as the back lighting here.
Simple as they come to get this one. Herramientas bubble rod attached to my Led Lenser. Held by the strap and swung behind the diorama to create the perfect curve of the star trails.
This is number 313 of my 366.
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.
One of the perks of living where I do is the abundant sealife. A pod of seals were frolicking near the shore at Hinsby Beach and I had fortunately taken my 400mm lens with me and was able to capture this image (which is also heavily cropped, so not the best image quality). I was hoping to get in closer, but a tourist boat also spotted them and raced in to have a closer look and scared them off in the process.
I also saw seals today, but didn't have my camera with me - a few baby seals playing in the rocks amongst the seaweed. Fun to watch.
"Take my picture,” she said. “I’m going to do something.”
And this - quite unexpectedly - is what she did.

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.
If you're visiting the Blackheath / Leura section of the Blue Mountains (NSW, Australia) this vantage point is a must see.
You'll be able to catch this view from the Govetts Leap Lookout on the cliff top track and after a heavy rainfall one can only imagine the powerful majesty of this landmark.
I shot this frame with my 24-70mm lens however I think with abit more telephoto reach I'd be able to highlight the waterfall abit more.
Hope you like this view, and hope you visit this amazing place where hiking, photography and camping become one.
Much love as always,
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
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!

Impala can leap to astonishing height's and when in a group-wow-amazing. Beautiful to watch - difficult to capture!
Hagia Sophia is a former Greek Orthodox patriarchal basilica, later an imperial mosque, and now a museum in Istanbul, Turkey. From the date of its construction in 537 until 1453, it served as an Eastern Orthodox cathedral and seat of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, except between 1204 and 1261, when it was converted to a Roman Catholic cathedral under the Latin Empire. The building was a mosque from 29 May 1453 until 1931. It was then secularized and opened as a museum on 1 February 1935 and it remains so till today.
This is one place on earth which arguably preserves the legacy of two faiths. Perhaps, best example for mutual co-existence and universal peace. Leap of faiths.
