Flash, Jr., one of our resident male Anna's Hummingbirds!! He flew in and made a one footed landing. He was hanging on to our spent Yucca Bloom stalk, and he tucked his other tiny foot into his feathers. Photo taken in our backyard in Camas, Washington.

I uploaded this in October 2019 but I forgot to change it from private to public. Here it is ... a year and a half later. :)

Everyone who lives around the pond have adopted her...and all know and refer to her as "Sweet".
Off today for the day...catch up with everyone later tonight.
Riding the day, every day into sunset
Finding the way back home...
Once upon a night we'll wake to the carnival of life
the beauty of this ride ahead such an incredible high...
perhaps this is one of my favorite situations of my work, when a hundred years of life in one click of the camera shutter.
The story develops by itself, it remains only to silently smoke outside the edge of the frame ..

"..The Old Rock has always been here. But there were many worries, and I looked through it.. When we are young we all run.. Now my children and grandchildren drive cattle themselves. Having grown old, I look at these stones all the days, sitting in front of the yurt.."
They are bound, the old rock, and the old woman. Bound in this desert for a century. Soon the woman will leave, and the eagles nesting on this rock will peck at her body in the desert among these stones, as her mother and father too..
In the corral behind the yurt, a small white kid is closed.. he always wants to run... And a little boy, great-grandson, constantly runs away from the old woman to him too,
He is dressed in the clothes of a small girl - Spirits should not know for the time being..
- he is the heir of this old yurt, near the Old Rock

This is the submerged dam Garreg Ddu and Foel Tower at Elan Valley in Wales. This was shot from the dam itself combining the Lee Big Stopper with a one minute exposure to get the soft streaky sky. Sadly no reflections on this day, as weather was very breezy so have opted for a square crop which I think works rather well.
Have a great weekend everyone!
If you drive north from Jokulsarlon on Iceland's Highway One, this is the sight that greets you on the left. Something out of LOTR.

At low tide we can observe the little snails on rocks. I was capturing this one when a higer waves came through, got my foot we, again.
Cormorants' short wings make them incredibly agile swimmers, and cormorants actually use less energy swimming than when flying. In fact, they have the highest flight cost of any flying bird. Some cormorants are also known for their ability to use rocks as tools to help them open the shells of prey they have captured.
A water bird that is an excellent fisherman and a remarkably good diver? That must be the cormorant. Cormorants are above all social animals. During the breeding period, they gather in large colonies along the edge of the water. Although they do have a tense relationship with fishermen... They fish in the same pond.. My wife calls him long neck duck

Go check out Chris' great pic of Connery that he just posted.
Even the wolf is fearful ... this is the first of 17 shots taken a year ago. Here he hadn't seen me yet.
A gust of wind caresses his fur, bringing him the sound of the camera and perhaps my scent.
Seeing him with his tail between his legs and ears down made me "feel" his fear his thoughts, humanizing him. Then he continued on his journey, turning occasionally to look at me and giving me one last look with straight ears and normal tail. When I look at his photos, I wonder where his journey has led him or if it has "ended."
Anche il lupo ha paura ... questo è il primo dei 17 scatti fatti un anno fa. Qui non mi aveva ancora visto.
Un raffica di vento gli accarezza il pelo, portandogli il rumore della macchina fotografica e forse il mio odore.
Vederlo con la coda tra le gambe e orecchie basse, mi ha fatto "sentire" la sua paura i suoi pensieri, umanizzandolo. Poi ha proseguito il suo viaggio girandosi ogni tanto per guardarmi e regalandomi un ultimo sguardo con orecchie dritte e coda normale. Quando riguardo le sue foto, mi domando dove il suo viaggio lo abbia condotto o se sia "terminato".

Waterscape 4 of 100 for 2025.
This massive rock sits proudly in the middle of Deadman's Beach. I've often wondered how it ended up there—what geological forces shaped its journey?
Today, as I looked at the photo, it struck me: the rock resembles a giant bao bun buried in the sand. Naturally, this led me down a rabbit hole exploring the history of bao buns. Originating in Northern China, bao dates back to the Three Kingdoms period in the 3rd century, with some evidence pointing as far back as 400 BC.
And then it all made sense: giant, rock-eating aliens with a penchant for Chinese cuisine must have dropped this here during one of their visits in ancient times. Mystery solved. You're welcome!
Thank you all for the kind likes and comments—they’re always deeply appreciated!
P.S. Speaking of buns, if you’ve got 3 minutes, I recommend this touching animation about motherhood and buns:
My keychain.
One and All is the motto that represents unity and inclusiveness and reflects the spirit of Cornish people. The fifteen balls (bezants/coins) on the shield is the coat of arms of the Duke of Cornwall. The bird is a chough and is a small, glossy black crow with a long, curved red bill and a symbol of Cornwall. The crown represents the Duchy of Cornwall. The miner and fisherman represent the trades of what once brought Cornwall much wealth.
This keychain holds my keys and reminds me of my Cornish roots day after day.
HMM!

The Beijing Diary
Street Performer in Temple of Heaven
In my humble opinion, the Temple of Heaven in Beijing is the least "must-see" among Beijing's must-see tourist destinations. Aside from the actual Temple of Heaven, the rest of the temples in this vast place are ordinary by Beijing's temple standards.
But what sets this place apart is the many street performers you will see there. It's a collection of different performers, from musicians, to dancers, to martial artists and some showcasing traditional chinese sports.
Like this charming old chinese playing his traditional musical instrument. After playing, he asked for a dollar from a foreigner video filming him.
"One dollar..."
The caucasian man smiled and walked away.
At my delivery in Chehalis Washington, backed into my dock, then grabbed my camera to take this picture. Only 100 feet from the front of my truck. Tough job, huh?
note: My camera is set to Central time zone, but obviously Washington is Pacific, so two hours different.
Here's a link to the other shots I had to pick from. I liked all of them, but had to make a decision.
