I just can’t get enough of the sunsets from the tip of Point Pelee National Park. Every season provides new photographic opportunities of the setting sun over Lake Erie. On this late winter visit to Canada’s most southern national park, the west winds had pushed the ice from the lake onto the shore, creating many wonderful shapes.
After a day spent between Cervinia and Zermatt with all the weight of photographic equipment, i had the opportunity to admire an incredible sunset from the 4000m top. Those are places to visit at least once in your life, you will be speechless!
Windows of Opportunity is a macro photograph of a Ficus leaf. This version blended the black and white version with the original, which was photographed on a light box.. A filter was added at 15 percent opacity to warm the leaf up a little bit. I will be off for two weeks starting tomorrow! Have a creative fortnight!
What a great opportunity to see this well known couple first thing on our visit to Seney Wildlife Refuge. They've apparently been together since 1997, making the annual 3,000 mile migratory trip returning to Seney each year. Here's a great article on the couple:

This is inside my husband Masonic Lodge. We took our Mexican friend there in September for a visit as he is also a Mason. I love Mid Century Mod and the light was so nice!
Pre - retirement, this was a building that I saw with regularity, but with limited opportunity to photograph because there was just too much activity going on around it during "normal" business hours...
It was suggested that I go to the property when the operation was closed and the parking lot was empty, and I finally got around to it, even if only for a few minutes! Cheers!

Can you imagine my luck, a man in a bright yellow shirt cleaning a boat with his reflection in the water and on the boat, now that was an opportunity I could not miss!

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
LUCKY OPPORTUNITY to photograph one of these Slim and Savage predators, active by day and night, it relentlessly tracks down its prey by scent. It often kills prey more than twice its size, biting deeply into the neck.
Captured at Elmley Nature Reserve in Kent.

Before he heads to school, the little prince helps water the neighborhood plants.
Skippy smiles, noticing his fox friend, and lovingly chuckles,
"Thank you for carrying my book bag. You're a great friend!"
The little prince and his fox enjoy helping others and are very grateful to Soy for helping to inspire this scene.
You can find Soy's latest beautifully detailed collection
called Shitamachi Alley Garden at the Arcade!
In addition, almost everything else you see here was also
created by the very talented Soy!
You can pick up many of the items at Soy’s Main Store!
Keep lifting one another up and making the world a kinder and more welcoming place for all!

As we watched these waterfalls and listened to the gentle sound of the water flowing between the rocks, the silence, tranquility and tranquility took hold of us.
The sounds of nature invited us to admire and feel the beauty of the natural environment.
This photo taken in just over a second, this time without using the ND filter, summarizes what we saw, what we felt, and that is what I want to share here with this photo.
I take this opportunity to wish you a good Thursday, good health, peace and love!

Cascadas en el Arroyo de Navalmedio, Parque Nacional de la Sierra de Guadarrama, Madrid, España
Mientras observábamos estas cascadas y escuchábamos el gentil sonido del agua fluyendo entre las rocas, el silencio, la tranquilidad y sosiego se apoderó de nosotros.
Los sonidos de la naturaleza nos invitaron a admirar y a sentir la belleza del medio natural.
En esta foto tomada en poco más de un segundo, en esta ocasión sin utilizar el filtro ND, se resume lo que vimos, lo que sentimos, y eso es lo que deseo compartir aquí con esta fotografía.
Aprovecho para desearos un buen jueves, mucha salud, paz y amor!

In Parkes, NSW, for the David Malin Awards, I was told the normal floodlighting on The Dish radio telescope would be turned off to allow a timelapse to be made for the CSIRO. I hadn't planned to shoot The Dish as many others already have, but without the excess lighting, and given I didn't find a better site I thought I should try. Sigma lens, processed in Lightroom.
“If you learn to really sit with loneliness and embrace it for the gift that it is…an opportunity to get to know YOU, to learn how strong you really are, to depend on no one but YOU for your happiness…you will realize that a little loneliness goes a LONG way in creating a richer, deeper, more vibrant and colorful YOU.”
― Mandy Hale
(Rallus Aquaticus) This is my first decent picture of a water rail - they usually skulk around in the reed beds rarely popping up for a photo opportunity!
Despite the fact I'm told these birds are common, I have never had an opportunity to shoot one until now.
This Barn Owl was perched on the post behind the tree making it difficult to get a good angle for a shot, when a brief gust of wind moved the branches allowing me to capture this photo, hence the title.
I like the dirt and plants, but I'm more interested in the agricultural plastic. We're starting a research project to examine the opportunities for reducing, reusing, and recycling agricultural and industrial plastic.
The sparrowhawk is surely one of the UK's most striking raptors.
Unfortunately this male's own strike was far from successful and his chosen prey had long since fled when I took this shot.

Many thanks to all those who take the time to comment on my photos. It is truly appreciated.
When I was sent to Battle Creek to work nights for a couple days a few years ago when they were cutting over CP Baron, I wanted to visit the small farm town of Bellevue about 10 miles east of the yard. The perfect opportunity presented itself in the form of a pair of barns on A451. After snaking my way through the god-awful twisting roads in that area, it wasn't long before the pair came out of the dark and passed the classic mill in the heart of town that seems to be the victim of an eccentric painter.
Opportunities are rare sometimes. Bummer when you miss them but you have to move on. Have a wonderful Friday and a terrific weekend.
Over a month later, and there are definitely fewer tree frogs to be found at the pond. They are now about half way between the froglet and full adult size.
I became obsessed with trying to capture them while they are on the move. A small window of opportunity for when they move, they do so relatively quickly. It was challenging to be in position, get a good focus on one so small, and do so before leaves, branches or reeds blocked one's view. Out of a whole summer of trying, this is one of my better shots.
It is climbing up a blackberry bramble to find an ideal spot to rest and wait for prey to come near enough to capture.

This is my take on this year's Uncommon Common art installation in Grand Pre, Nova Scotia. It was designed and erected by Nicole Evans and Patrick Farrell.
Explored on September 22nd, 2015. Highest position #148.

When opportunity knocks on your door, always be willing to take a chance, because you never know how perfect something could turn out to be.

1 Bishops Square, London, England
My apologies for not being particularly active as of late, I have just got quite a bit on at the moment and not had chance to get out with the camera in recent weeks and not had chance to upload here much, hopefully will get out with the camera soon and get some new material. I have a list of places I have been itching to visit and get some new work, so bare with me ;-).
Anyway, one for the archives and from one of my Open House outings from a few years back. 1 Bishops Square is a very modern building and has a wonderful art installation called 'Pixel Cloud' and it really does live up to its name. I could have spent most of the day photographing it.
If you get the opportunity to go to Open House London this September you should put this building on the list just for this highlight alone.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Location Information
Bishops Square is a large commercial property development in the Spitalfields area of London, England. Previously owned by Hammerson, and later jointly by Hammerson and the Oman Investment Fund, it is now owned by JP Morgan. It has been cited as an example of a privately owned public space in London.
I thought I saw a person working on a farm in the footpath, but in fact it was someone waiting a photo opportunity.😆
農作業中の人がいる、と思ってシャッターを切ったのですが、その人は写真撮影中の人でした😆
I am of course referring to the legendary former Goth-Metal band, before the untimely death of their lead vocalist and bassist Pete Steele and what a legend of a man he was! The reason for the name is due to, as fans would know, the green hue of which TON were fond of when designing their album covers.
This was shot on the canal by my house; there was this street lamp which I think was on the way out and so gave this real Stephen King Tommyknocker type green, with a conveniently placed Orb Weaver supplying a helluva an opportunity for this pretty Halloween looking image.
Enjoy the week my friend and so as always, thank you! :)
The sun goes down while the mist comes up from the valley towards Giau pass (Dolomites), after some heavy rain showers hit the zone in the previous hour. This is a beautiful place in the middle of the Dolomites, near Cortina d'Ampezzo, full of photographic opportunities during the whole year.
Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) are some of the UK’s most outstanding and treasured landscapes. With 46 AONBs covering just under 1/5th of the UK, they offer a wealth of opportunities for both people and wildlife to benefit from our countryside. AONBs are on par with the UK’s National Parks, each AONB is an outstanding landscape whose distinctive character and natural beauty is so precious that it is safeguarded in the national interest.

I haven't had an opportunity to get out much recently but I've got a large backlog of images to post in any event.
Male Wood ducks are, in my opinion, one of the most handsome waterfowl species that we have.
This drake was bathing and preening with a female when I got this long-reach pose.
