Fishing boats on Hastings beach in East Sussex. Taken during my landscape photography workshop last Sunday.

In the background our friendly King-Parrots were eating and then all of a sudden another king Parrot turned up, so I put so some sunflower seed on the stool away for the other two,
One of our near neighbours who has a lovely garden right near the road, gave us a cutting from their plant.
We've put it in the biggest pot we had, which isn't really big enough, but hopefully it will do until we can get to the garden centre to buy a bigger one and some more soil.
It does add some lovely colour to our garden though.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
This week we experienced a Level 3 thunderstorm situation in Germany, and the strongest supercell happened to sweep across our region. As beautiful as this cloud may seem, its power was truly destructive. Our city of Kassel suffered greatly from the intense rain and hail, which were unlike anything I've experienced before.

my second picture:
...on our tree! A bumper crop! Hooray! After I took this shot, I promptly ate this apple. It was delicious! I love it when the apple tree comes through! Our apples are leetle, but delicious!
A infrared shot.
For my past 30 days stay in Guangzhou, China the weather was mostly hot over 33 degrees centigrade average. I seldom go out to shoot in the day time.
However I got a big harvest ! I only paid 400 RMB Chinese Yuan ( USD56.61 ) to convert my 10 years old retired Nikon D200 into a " Infrared Camera " which may ask USD275 in USA.
I only did the simple convert with 720 nm infrared filter, so I can only get the BW effect !
Seattle, WA. Created by stacking/combining nine 8 second photos for a cumulative exposure time of 72 seconds.

A very special thank you to my wonderful models and friends for bringing this shot to life.
This tiny baby blackbird appeared at our front door this morning! It was content to hop up and down patrolling our front door for a good fifteen minutes before moving to the safety of the bushes in the garden. It was very lively and chirpy, hopping up and down as we approached the front door from the outside. Lovely to see this happy little guy seemingly guarding our house for us!
The shots could have been much better image quality, but I carelessly left it set on f16 from some previous shots so the shutter speed ended up much too low, and there is a lot of diffraction. But I did manage a couple of shots worth a look at this little guy!
Happy Feathery Friday!
240 second exposure of the streaming clouds past this tree stump and the exposed roots.
I have mixed feelings on this one. I like the overall comp and the cloud effect with the LE, but I wish I had tilted this up just a little to not have the tree stump break the far side of the lake.
I think that is good excuse to go back to Glacier National Park just so I can retake this ;))
Difficult to believe but a little north of us there was a 100 km road closure, which lasted 3 days due to a massive storm.

Hey guys!
I spent this weekend in Munich, together with Laura, Moritz, Andrea, Bassam and Gina! Even though it was reallyreallyreally cold we had a great time, I always love getting to know other photographers.
Laura is truly beautiful inside and out and it makes me so happy I could finally meet and photograph her :)
Ohhh and this is my 100th photo on Flickr! During those 100 photos I have learned so much about photography, about life, about myself. Since last summer photography has become such an important part of me life and I'm really grateful for that :)
Three different black bears that have recently visited the garden, this one is about as big as they come. Two of them had just come out of the pond.
The Cosmos and Hollyocks have reached approx 2m tall. The butterflies have been visiting the cosmos and when they go to seed our local parrots will come and feed on them.

Our Daily Challenge: The Best Things in Life are Free
I know that the year 2020 was a terrible year for everyone. It was for us especially so. During the Covid pandemic with most business essentially shut down, it was very hard to get the veterinary help for our animals, medical help for myself and for my mother. Tragedies struck. Two of our birds developed inoperable tumors and so they had to be euthanized. Then our beloved cats Simon and Isabella died two days apart from congestive heart failure, and a sinus/brain tumor, respectively. My mother was devastated for our loss and insisted we should get another kitty. Little did we know, less than two months later, my mother would die from stage 4 lung cancer with only 2 weeks' warning. At the time, I was quite sickly myself and could not make the long trip up to Maine to say goodbye to her, but I did go to visit her grave a month later to try and find some solace. While I was away, my husband called me, distraught about a stray kitten that was crying loudly and continuously outside our house for 3 days. He tried to feed and capture her to help her out but she ran from him. He set out a humane trap and she went in within minutes. Ok so now what?!? Neither one of us at first wanted to adopt another cat, we didn't feel ready. Besides, I'd always wanted to buy a purebred Maine Coon cat and was holding out for that. When I returned home the next day and saw her, I had a feeling she was going to become a part of our family. She looks just like a cat I had when I was four years old. Interesting thing is, her age, determined by the vet, puts her date of birth right about the time my mom passed away. I imagine, somehow, that my mom guided this kitten our way. Also, it’s neat that her personality is quite similar to my mother's...talkative, funny, sassy and determined. She provides so much comic relief at this much needed time. We didn’t seek her out, she found us, like a gift and free of charge😻
ODC-Christmas Eve
I usually put our gifts under the tree on Christmas Eve. This year I made Shizandra some doggie treats. They are in the red tin under the tree. They are very healthy. They don't contain any grains or anything bad for dogs. I used coconut flour, organic pumpkin puree and organic peanut butter in them. She loves them.

Artist's Concept:
The photographic competition entitled "Our Memories of the Western District" was the inaugural activity of the West Island Line Community Art Programme. Unique images of the HKU area were captured by local residents and the winning photographs from the champion, 1st runner-up, 2nd runner-up and merit award recipients were selected as the theme images for use in HKU Station. These photographic images were then pixelated using thousands of images collected from the community and then combined with monochrome graphics to create a panoramic collage, reflecting the uniqueness and culture of Western District with traditional buildings and daily life of the local community.
