Same Red Shouldered hawk as yesterday's post but just a second earlier.

 

I liked this shot, too. So I decided to share it with you.

 

I was just so happy he stayed long enough for me to get a few shots of him. I hope he comes back again.

 

There are lots of these hawks in my area and I hear their calls all the time and often see them off in the distance. Rarely do they come this close to my house.

 

A real treat

Thank you Ben for posing with me.. Hugs

Have a great week friends!

All along the Maine coast you can here the sailors calling out "Fog's lifting" signaling another beautiful day for sailing.

Fingers crossed the lifting of lockdown goes as planned. Looking forward to seeing family in the gardens or going out for walks together. Lets hope the roll out keeps on track. Take care everyone.

I caught this Black-headed Gull as it lifts off from the water at a local nature reserve. I particularly like the way it's looking skywards in this shot.

I find chair lifts sort of simultaneously fascinating and terrifying...

The fog on Armand Bayou was as thick at dawn as I have seen it in several years and probably thicker than the juvenile Brown Pelican had seen in its entire brief life. After testing its wings and checking the wind, it rumbled down the runway, barely lifting above the water before disappearing into the mist.

The Bald Eagle fisherman is out looking for more fish. Love seeing the eagles. They make my day.

MIKA Playing stick in the pond on a hot summer day

She's used this rock at the edge of the pond for 5 years now as the launch pad into the water

The 1500 Hamilton Yard job picks up the interchange with a nice trio of GP9s.

 

This angle from Gage Ave is one I've been trying for for a bit. It's not every day the 1500 lifts the interchange (in fact I think its tends toward being uncommon). What helped significantly was the one crew member heading back into the cab while I got my shots, I'm not 100% sure if he did that so I could get my shots or if it was coincidence but I greatly appreciate it if it was intentional. After this they'd haul everything west, and eventually back into the yard.

Captured this with three RAW shots at -2..0..+2 EV. Digital blending in Photoshop CS6. I increased the overall saturation with Hue/Saturation in Photoshop. Curve adjustment to increase the overall contrast. 1 layer mask in soft light mode at 50% gray, using brush tool to lighten and darken some areas of the image, to bring out details. Topaz DeNoise to reduce noise.

Taken at a local bike park. Some young cyclists were practising their jumping skills, but the background was very unappealing and busy, so I threw some filters at the image and cloned out the distracting elements in the background.

  

Cormorant makes an exit

Bușteni, Romania

Mountain lift descending from Caraiman Peak (Southern Carpathian Mts.). A large commemorative monument (about 25 m (82 ft) high), Heroes' Cross (Crucea Eroilor) lies atop Caraiman Peak, at nearly 2,260 m (7,410 ft). The monument is lighted at night and is visible from virtually everywhere in Bușteni.

A beautiful kingfisher lifting up out from the water with its bounty catch from the water below, its always stunning to watch these hard working skilful colourful birds of the river.

To most this is just a photo of a kestrel but for me it marks the start of an exciting journey. So good to see her again.

In the old Elbe tunnel in Hamburg

Snow and Ross’s Geese lift off together usually after being spooked by an Eagle flying overhead. The sound is unique and loud! These came right at me and over the road I was on at Merced National Wildlife Refuge.

Ski lift at the top of Wachusett Mountain during a hiking trip. The winter weather is mostly foggy, damp and gloomy this season.

A splashy rise of the Great Blue Heron (Ardea alba).

 

A lucky click as the Brolgas scrambled to take off. My camera settings were all wrong for this shot!

The Anderton Boat Lift is one of only two working boat lifts in the UK and is affectionately known as the Cathedral of the Canals.

Designed by Edwin Clark in 1875 to transfer boats and barges between the River Weaver and the Trent and Mersey Canal across a height of 50 feet. It was in operation for over 100 years until it closed in 1983 due to corrosion. However, it opened to the public again in 2002 after a huge renovation project began in 2001.

Thousands of Snow Geese lifting off as a pair of Bald Eagles harass them looking for their breakfast. Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge, Texas. To see and hear thousands of these at one place is pretty impressive.
