The Tricolored Heron, formerly known as the Louisiana
Heron, is a slim, medium-sized heron. It is dark slate-blue
on its head and upper body and has a purplish chest. It
nests north along the Atlantic coast to Massachusetts and
westward in coastal lowlands around the Gulf of Mexico
and Caribbean, including the West Indies, to northern
Brazil. It also nests between central Baja California and
Ecuador on the Pacific coast.
Found this one nesting at Gatorland in May of last year!
Kissimmee, Florida.

El Macizo de Ubiña forma las mayores montañas fuera de los Picos de Europa. Sus cumbres se acercan a los 2500 m, alturas muy respetables y causantes que persista la nieve en sus cimas y laderas hasta entrado el verano. Peña Ubiña es famosa por su peligrosidad en invierno. Toboganes de hielo y aludes han causado la muerte de numerosos montañeros, cuyos nombres podemos leer en su airosa cumbre.
The Ubiña Massif mountains form the largest outside the Picos de Europa. Its peaks are close to 2500 m, very respectable heights causing snow to persist in their tops and slopes until late summer. Peña Ubiña is famous for its dangerous in winter. Ice slides and avalanches have killed many climbers, whose names we read in his airy summit.
Outside of my grandparents' dacha in Kostroma, Russia.
Yes yes, nother summer one.
I really like how the colors came out :D
I've also realized I like photographing flowers & stuff. haha.
Maras is a little town in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, 45 km outside of Cusco. It is well known for its nearby salt evaporation ponds, the Salinas de Maras, located at an elevation of 3,380 m. Since pre-Inca times, salt has been obtained in Maras by evaporating salty water from a local subterranean stream. The highly salty water emerges at a spring, a natural outlet of the underground stream. The flow is directed into an intricate system of tiny channels constructed so that the water runs gradually down onto the several hundred ancient terraced ponds.
Die peruanische Gemeinde Maras liegt etwa 45 km von Cusco entfernt in der Provinz und Region Cusco. Sie ist Teil des Heiligen Tals der Inkas. Eine salzhaltige Quelle speist die in einer Höhe von 3380 Metern terrassenartig angelegten Salzpfannen, wo durch die sukzessive Verdunstung der natürlichen Sole in der Sonne Salz gewonnen wird.
I just received my Canon EF 40mm 2.8 STM from Amazon today, so I had to test it out. Spring is here so I went outside to test out the lens, in the course of it I found this moss in the backyard growing between the bricks next to the fire pit. I had to lay almost completely flat on the ground for this angle but it was worth it.
Mike Olbinski and I went out monsoon chasing and saw this scene going on and had to pull over and shoot it. The sunsets in Arizona are nothing short of stunning. The monsoon clouds help a bit at adding interest, but even if they were not present, the colors and depth of sky are utterly phenomenal.
Though I mapped this here, I really have no idea where I was when we shot this. Mike, can you help out with this one? This was right next to the McDonalds if I remember correctly.
Slowly but sure where pushing towards Caen, unfortunately Jerry doesn't feel like running away just yet and we have to fight hard for every inch of ground.
Here at the back of the front line its pretty quite and we don't have to worry to much, our biggest fear is a mortar attack for the rest we have it easy compared to the front line. We can hear the noise of fighting in the distance, in between the moments, when we fire our rounds.
This one made #1 on Explore on 14th of November 2006. It's my first photo ever to make the top spot. Whee! :).

I am loving taking some of my newborn photos outside. Sad that the cooler weather is coming because these shots will be no more :(
Florida designated the mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) as the official state bird in 1927. The Mockingbird is very famous. It even had a song written about it. "Listen To The Mockingbird" by Richard Milburn in 1855.
Full of personality, the mockingbird earns its name mimicking other birds, insects, animals and even human noises – like a car alarm! A male can learn up to 200 songs during its life, but the females rarely sing.
If you do find a female singing, notice that it is much softer than the male. Mockingbirds are quite common throughout the state and found in almost every habitat, including towns, suburbs, backyards, parks, forest edges and open land at low elevations. Mockingbirds eat mainly insects in the summer. During the fall and winter months they switch to mostly fruit and have been observed drinking sap from the cuts on recently pruned trees.
Many Floridians have experienced the wrath of the mockingbird defending its nest. Fiercely territorial, male mockingbirds have been known to recognize individual humans and will selectively attack them while ignoring other humans who pass by. Although we rarely intend to disturb nests, this behavior is not completely in vain. In southern Florida it has been noted that the strength of attacks against potential predators is directly associated with nesting success
The northern mockingbird is also the state bird of Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee and Mississippi.
I found this one at Joe Overstreet Landing in Osceola County, Florida.

Wet sand reflections at sunrise, Mount Maunganui, New Zealand.
I almost slept through this, being exhausted after the late hike up a nearby peak for the evening blue hour, but thanks to the short winter days, and the location of my motel right on the beach, it took little effort to crawl out of bed to see what the sunrise would offer that morning.

The Obersee is an artificial lake outside the city of Bielefeld in East Westphalia. The local folks love the place and especially throughout weekends it is great fun to have a walk around the water. We used the perfect sunshine to enjoy November pleasures.
Sometimes called the "Nonpareil," meaning "unrivaled," a fair way to describe the unbelievable colors of the male Painted Bunting. This species is locally common in the Southeast, around brushy areas and woodland edges. It is often secretive, staying low in dense cover. However, males sing their bright warbling songs from higher in the trees, partly hidden among foliage or sometimes out in the sun on an exposed perch. Some lucky Floridians have Painted Buntings coming to their bird feeders in winter.
I was lucky this year as I have four Pained Buntings in My backyard for the winter. This is one of the males.

A marsh grows in the pool outside the gym at the long abandoned Air Force base on the mountain above San Jose, CA. Mysterious animals were splashing and rustling around in the pool.

Loggerhead Shrikes are found only in North America. They breed in open country, including grasslands and shrub-steppe areas, where there are scattered trees, tall shrubs, fence posts, utility wires, or other lookout posts. They tend to nest in northeast- or southeast-facing ravines. Loggerhead Shrikes prefer more open country than that preferred by Northern Shrikes.
The Loggerhead Shrike is most well known for its innovative use of barbed-wire and chain-link fences to impale its prey to cache for later. It is also called butcherbird or French Mockingbird.
Decline in population over the past years is not well understood, but may be due to decreased winter survivability and vehicle collisions, particularly involving juvenile birds. They are listed endangered in Maryland and Virginia and a species of special concern (SSC) in West Virginia. They are only still relatively common in Florida.
The San Clemente Loggerhead Shrike subspecies has been listed as endangered since 1977, with population numbers reaching as low as 14 individuals. Currently there are captive breeding and release programs in use to help increase their numbers.
I found this one along Joe Oerstreet Road with what I think is a Mole Cricket.
Osceola County, Florida.
Crocosmia flowers add wonderful drama to the summer garden.

One more attempt at tilt shift.... I don't have a special lens so I've been experimenting with GIMP (free alternative to photoshop).
I could have had a clear shot, but I thought this one with the little boy gave a better indication of the size of the area :)
The Badlands is a really unique place, near Caledon, Ontario and we had an amazing day there with loads of wonderful relatives one day back in August 2011 (my first trip to Canada, in fact my first trip outside the UK!!!! lol)
Here's some info from Wiki about the Badlands.... "The formation was exposed by poor farming practices in the 1930s that led to soil erosion and exposed the underlying shale. At one point in time, the Cheltenham Badlands were occupied by a large river. The hills signify the riverbed and as you follow the trail, you begin to see the river history of the badlands. Thousands of years ago, this lake dried out resulting in today's version of the Cheltenham badlands. The formation is mostly red in colour due to iron oxide deposits with some faint green streaks due to ground water percolation changing the red iron oxide into green iron oxide."
I know many of you in Canada are having really awful weather with record low temperatures, so hopefully this will warm you all up a bit :)
Take care everyone, and thank you all so much for the lovely comments on my previous uploads :)

Taken along the Pinnacles Trail, Grayson Highlands State Park, VA.
While looking out into the garden last night, I spotted this beautiful rainbow lighting up a moody sky. I was expecting it to be gone by the time I got outside, but it was still there when I arrived under the cherry tree at the bottom of the garden :D. This is the view northeast(ish) from my garden.
At the Bubbling Ponds Preserve at Page Springs Fish Hatchery, these Ring-necked Ducks took off as we approached, & I managed to snap a picture as they did so. (16-02-08-1835b)

"Not all those who wander are lost"
This past week has been great! I found out I got 100% in my psychology a-level exam (!!!), i got my 5hr art exam out of the way (which included making a mini rain machine, which I am going to make in large scale next week), did a ton of editing of the pictures I took of all my sixth form at our spring ball a couple of weeks ago, and went to see Colin Fry live with my mum and dad! I've got two new photoshoots penciled in, one with the gorgeous Nhuc Tran, and one with a hairdressing salon. I am really really excited about both!
This was taken at Tittesworth Reservoir. It's gorgeous outside today, so it was really busy. That meant lots of people walking past whilst I was stood half naked in spanx shivering my butt off. I don't really get affected by doing shoots in public anymore, I would never have done this 6months ago, but now its not much of a big deal. I find people are usually interested and just like to have a look at whats going on. It's always made easier when you have people with you, though!!
For some outtakes and a before and after, look on Mine and Aaron's blog! :)
**swapped it to colour :)**
Taken while snowshoeing near The Canyons Ski Resort in Park City, Utah. This is near a residential neighborhood called The Colony.
