A hint of pink in the sky, mist and cloud rolling in and a high tide on Loch Slapin. This photo was taken at dusk / blue hour looking towards Bla Bheinn and other mountains just outside the main Cuillin range.
A shot with a difference. My husband and kids on the run up to Big Red. There was quite a cheer from the crowd when they became airborne. Not much of a cheer from me.. I was worried about how we would travel the +1600km home if car was in pieces!
Nappanerica -The largest red sand dune in the world (40 meters high), affectionately known as "Big Red" located just outside Birdsville on the edge of the Simpson Desert. The dunes run from north to south, and are the world’s longest parallel sand dunes.If you're travelling across the desert from west to east it's the last of approx 1,113 dunes to cross. A 4wd enthusiasts paradise.

…and I was back again. My beloved outback. This time it was more of an exploration with a couple of good mates than a photography trip but that’s not to say I didn’t look for more stunning and remote locations worthy of shooting.
So – this is a location in the Flinders Ranges I have actually spent some time looking for and this time, I finally found it. It’s not tricky to find once you know where it is – it’s just not close to where I have been before.
With our tents set up close by, a roaring campfire and some delicious pasta waiting to be cooked we had scoped this location the night before only to determine that it was definitely in need of a sunrise to reach it’s full potential.
I was woken up following morning by a wild dingo outside my tent and soon realized that the sky was looking promising so we scared off the Dingo and headed back to our view point of the razorback ridge.
Thankfully the colours came through and I walked away with a photograph I’d been hoping to one day have in my bag. Thanks again outback!
View large and, as always, thanks for looking!

...sunrise close to the river Naab (Upper Palatinate - Bavaria)
thanks a lot for your kind comments, faves and invites!
Taken from the summit of Carn Hyddgen (height 566m) to the north of Pumlumon. The cairn (carn, carnedd, plural carneddi in Welsh) in the image is one of two bronze age cairns known as Carn Gwilym and are approx 10 feet in height.
I love this view of brownstones across the lagoon, with modern skyscrapers behind them. I didn't realize how lucky I was last time to have smooth water and perfect reflections; this time the water was choppier, but I still did some fun long exposures, and I have a lot of photos to sort out from this shoot.

Boa quarta
It snowed Saturday afternoon and evening, but by mid-morning on Sunday, the clouds were breaking, revealing Upper Yosemite Falls just outside our Lodge door.
I always welcome and appreciate your comments, but please NO Multiple Invites, Flickriver Badges or Animated Badges with your comment! I simply cannot give them the attention they deserve.
Many thanks for the visits, faves and comments. Cheers
...from a visit to Buckley's Hole, Bribie Island. (Buckley's Hole Conservation Park is situated in the south-west corner of Bribie Island, the northern-most sand island in Moreton Bay, some 50 kilometres north of Brisbane. The park covers an area of 87.7 hectares and contains a freshwater lagoon, woodland, open forest and beach. It is this diversity of habitat that has led to such a large number of bird species being recorded in this small area, the present total standing at 270.)
Pacific Black Duck(ling)
Scientific Name: Anas superciliosa
Description: The Pacific Black Duck is mostly mid-brown in colour, with each feather edged buff. The head pattern is characteristic, with a dark brown line through the eye, bordered with cream above and below and a dark brown crown. The upper wing colour is the same as the back, with a bright glossy green patch in the secondary flight feathers. The white underwing is conspicuous in flight. Young Pacific Black Ducks are similar to the adults in plumage.
Similar species: The Pacific Black Duck is closely related to the Mallard, A. platyrhynchos, introduced into Australia from the Northern Hemisphere. The two species are very similar in habits and occupy the same niche in the two regions. The two species will interbreed in situations where Mallards have been released.
Distribution: The Pacific Black Duck is found in all but the most arid regions of Australia. Outside Australia, its range extends throughout the Pacific region.
Habitat: The Pacific Black Duck is one of the most versatile of the Australian ducks. It frequents all types of water, from isolated forest pools to tidal mudflats. Pacific Black Ducks are usually seen in pairs or small flocks and readily mix with other ducks. In the wild, birds are often very wary of humans and seldom allow close approach. Birds in urban ponds become quite tame, however.
Feeding: The Pacific Black Duck is mainly vegetarian, feeding on seeds of aquatic plants. This diet is supplemented with small crustaceans, molluscs and aquatic insects. Food is obtained by 'dabbling', where the bird plunges its head and neck underwater and upends, raising its rear end vertically out of the water. Occasionally, food is sought on land in damp grassy areas.
Breeding: Mating in Pacific Black Ducks coincides with availability of sufficient food and water, and often with the onset of heavy rains or when waterways are at their peaks. Courtship is accompanied by ritualised displays including preening, bobbing and wing-flapping. This behaviour is often initiated by the female, and, other than copulation, the male helps little in the breeding process. Often, two broods will be raised in a year. The number of offspring produced may seem quite high, but only 20% of these will survive past two years of age.
Minimum Size: 50cm
Maximum Size: 60cm
Average size: 55cm
Breeding season: Highly variable
Clutch Size: 16

Last week I decided to head up to Mt.Tam around sunset. Upon arriving I was greeted with beautiful fog just coming in and beautiful clouds everywhere.

My Son took me to an air show back in September---it was a fun day. ---------I will post a few of my favorite shots. ----Have a great day everyone----Thanks for visiting-----Catch up with you later.
one year ago today, i decided to start a 365 project. i went outside in the wet and cold, put my camera on a car, set the timer, and posed. a remote, 2 tripods (one broke :( ), a 50mm 1.8 lens, a film camera, and a fujifilm instax, here i am. taking a picture a day was so much harder than i thought it would be, but i did it! some days i cheated and posted an old picture, and some days i didn't try at all, but i still had one picture a day for a year.
i really really want to thank anyone who has ever commented/faved/written me a testimonial. they mean so much. i can't believe i've come this far and very much appreciate the support i've gotten.
this may not be my most amazing photo but i'm proud of it.
if you read all that, thank you :)
Not the Carpenters or Earth, Wind & Fire but Great Britain's National Bird, the Robin. This gorgeous Robin wasn't half belting out a tune to rival, or even better, any chart topper at RSPB Old Moor the other day.
The Robin is one of the few birds in the UK that sing all year round. This is due to the importance of holding winter territories. Only for a short period in late summer while they are moulting and inconspicuous do they stop singing. Both sexes sing.
Autumn and spring songs are distinctly different. The autumn song starts after the moult, from late summer onwards. It is more subdued and melancholy in its tone, while the spring song is powerful, confident and upbeat.
The spring song can start as early as mid-December, reaching full force in spring. Its purpose is two-fold: to defend a territory and to attract a mate. Therefore, the spring song is far more powerful in males.

I was lucky it wasn't that cold outside, i still was freezing my fingers off, but it wasn't like -19c more like -3. So i was able to take this picture, without making my hands frozen!
