Possibly a new friend. On my property.

It has quite the tail.

Possibly the Western Palearctic's answer to the hummingbird. Not quite the same agility but it does hover for moments to feed on nectar. These were present all over Jordon but not in great numbers.

Thank you for taking a look at my images.

Possibly the most photographed rock in Coyote Buttes South, Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, Arizona, seen here in golden evening light.

Der vermutlich meist fotografierte Stein in den Coyote Buttes South, Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, Arizona, hier im goldenen Abendlicht.

‘Momiji’ or ‘Kaede’ is the Japanese name for the genus Acer (Maple). The tall Momiji tree, possibly Acer palmatum var. amoenum (‘Oo-Momiji’) native to Japan, was spreading its autumn leaves over my head, with a patchwork of complex colors rather than a single red.

CPKC is really pushing the limits of their mainline in the Mississippi River floodwaters in downtown Davenport, IA as an empty ballast train heads north with KCS 3967 and KCS 4405.

Another northbound would follow the ballast train 1.5 hours later and the mainline will possibly shut down yet today with floodgates closing at Waterworks.

possibly...

Possibly a chickadee but how about the other two? Southern CA

locale up in the mountains.

Possibly zero access to Flickr (hopefully not!) I will be away soon, off to Snowdonia with my lovely sister Margaret. I won't be on much at all from Sunday 14th July for a few days. I hope to have time to show you a few photos from there in future, if I manage any good ones !

This was taken in Plantsbrook Nature Reserve - not Wales - at the very end of May. Amazing to think how lovely the weather was then, how much rain we've had since - and now it's 'changeable'. That's the UK for you - 'changeable' in most ways !

Take care of yourselves and have a lovely time everyone !

And for no reason at all, apart from the fact I love Joan Armatrading and this song, here is some music for you.

Joan Armatrading - Down to Zero

Thank you for looking - every view, comment and fave is really appreciated !

Possibly one of the same birds as last week. This Common Snipe was enjoying surveying his territory

One of the young Chicks

saw three but possibly a fourth.

Belper Mill

a little dark, but I've been enjoying myself!

Happy Umbellifer Wednesday :))

Possibly a juvenile looking at the relatively pale iris

Forest of Bowland

possibly Winter Chanterelle

A female...or possibly a juvenile of either gender. Even after reading up a bit it still seems unclear to me. I spotted it this morning on a bush in a neighbor's garden while I was eating breakfast on the porch. It was nice enough to hang around while I ran inside to get my camera. I managed to get a few shots while my dog hopped on the table and finished my breakfast.

Could this possibly be an original perspective on one of Scotland's most photographed castles? Maybe, but if so, then Per Kamperin needs a mention (see first comment below), as do the folks who decide on the Flickr Friday theme!

This is a focus merge of two shots, one for the castle and one for the mooring ring. I wish I'd taken a third shot for the slipway, but that's the benefit of hindsight.

To get the final image, I loaded the foreground into Affinity Photo, then the background as a separate layer and aligned the two images (I couldn't use a tripod with such a low perspective, so there was some camera movement). Next, I painted-in the background onto the foreground image through a mask layer.

A ring is very difficult to merge, because the blurred version ends up being bigger than the sharp one, so you lose some of the sharp background. I've therefore had to do some careful cloning to hide most of the post-processing artefacts. I've also cropped out some of the sharp foreground concrete, because it distracted from the castle.

Possibly a female African Comb duck, Marton Mere.

I liked the feint reflection of sky in her Bill, and indeed how her Bill could be the head of another species, where the nostril becomes an eye...... ;-)))))

...Possibly: Protection device, for shops and public service buildings, in France. 😓

Possibly a nesting pair, these two Oystercatcher were seen at Lepe where they nest sometimes, laying their beautifully camouflaged eggs among shingle and sand.

Possibly a young one let me get really close full frame.

Catching up :)

Possibly the most photographed bridge in the popular and beautiful area that is the "Lake District".

It was interesting watching a flock of well over a hundred of these redpolls foraging on the field weeds, then suddenly swirling into the air and seconds later returning to almost the same spot. Possibly the heavy winds of 40 to 60 km per hour contributed to this behaviour.

Thank you for viewing, always appreciated.

possibly the last pas de deux of the season

From my bedside view of the weather out of the window this morning, I see that it's grey and dull, the neighbour's maple tree blowing heroically in the wind.

It's cosy indoors catching up on Flickr friends on my tablet.

Day 15 post-op and I am remembering once more how beautiful is the quality of a good night's sleep.

Possibly a male its said if the flanks are more a intense colour online who knows :)

Possibly the tallest Viper's Bugloss I've ever seen… Viper's Bugloss is a hairy plant with dense spikes of bright blue, funnel-shaped flowers. It is found on chalk grassland, sand dunes, cliffs and disturbed ground, and is in bloom from May to September. This is a common wild flower on Cleeve Common, Cotswold Hills, Gloucestershire.

Possibly a retirement boat judging by the name. Looks like it has been laid up a while now.

This section of Wi Hwy 42 at the tip of Door County Peninsula is quite possibly the most photographed section of roadway in the state. It looks quiet now but believe me it was anything but when we were there last week. When we arrived, there were already a half-dozen vehicles pulled off to the side to view and shoot, people in the middle of the road dodging near constant traffic. We waited and waited, finally five left and we leapfrogged the remaining one to grab this quick shot before a new vehicle leapfrogged in front of us. It was not a completely clean grab, there was a vehicle at the far end that I erased. Same with a power line, but I left the mailbox and realtor sign.

I have seen a few of this scene and most all take out the power line but the verdict is split on whether to leave the mailbox.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate strait, the one-mile-wide (1.6 km), three mile long (4.8 km) channel between San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The structure links the American city of San Francisco, California – the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula to Marin County, carrying both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1 across the strait. The bridge is one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco, California, and the United States. It has been declared one of the Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers.

The Frommer's travel guide describes the Golden Gate Bridge as "possibly the most beautiful, certainly the most photographed, bridge in the world." It opened in 1937 and was, until 1964, the longest suspension bridge main span in the world, at 4,200 feet (1,300 m).

Possibly my last upload from my recent Dorset trip. It was a great trip away to get a feel for this part of the country and I'm looking forward to my next visit

Possibly half way up Ben MacDui now looking back along the way we've come along Glen Lui.

Ben Macdui is the UK's 2nd highest peak (second only to Ben Nevis) and stands at 1309m (4294ft). After descending from this Munro we make a climb to the 2nd Munro of the day, Carn a' Mhaim (pronounced Carn-ah-Vame) at 1037m (3402ft).

Possibly a swan feather floating in the very green water of the pond in the park. Do Zoom in to see the detail.

(possibly) the last of the high key bits from the MM group for last week.

possibly...

Possibly, known things in a different scale.

Possibly the same stonechat that starred in my last image, this time posing against a different pretty background.

Possibly a giant croquet lawn...

Possibly another Common Merganser family, or previous family with young that didn't survive.

Canada, Quebec, Montreal

Was lucky enough to find this very nice specimen of Augocloropsis Metallica (I think?) in my kitchen window. He was unfortunately already dead, but I took this opportunity to take some high magnification photography of this magnificent sweat bee.

One Lincolnshire character who has become well-known in the county over the years and has touched the hearts of many is Ropeneck the seal.

Her name was first given to her in November 2000, when she first arrived at Donna Nook National Nature Reserve entangled in discarded netting and was clearly in distress.

Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust wardens, along with RAF Donna Nook, managed to isolate her so that they were able to cut her free.

Due to the netting cutting a deep wound in Ropeneck's neck, she now has a scar there which is still visible today and allows those at Donna Nook and visitors to be able to spot her when she arrives each year.

Since being cut free in November 2000, Ropeneck has loyally returned to her same spot at Donna Nook except in 2006 when she must have had other plans, to give birth to a pup.

This year, she gave birth to her 22nd pup since coming to Donna Nook in November 2000.

Donna Nook now accounts for 1.5% of the world's grey seal population. The work of the wardens and the wildlife trust, is therefore crucial, for the future of these lovely animals.

Grey Seal - Halichoerus Grypus

As always I extend my sincere appreciation to all those who take the time to stop by and comment on my photos.

Garden shot!

Possibly Coprinus Plicatillis, but I am not an expert.

Possibly an abstract skyline

Possibly one of the least advertised of the U.S. National Monuments outside of Colorado. My wife and I were lucky to hear about it and stopped by while driving by the city of Grand Junction. A must see if you enjoy spectacular canyons cut deep into sandstone as well as various granite–gneiss–schist, rock formations.

A very ruffled Starling and possibly some Walking Sticks on the post immediately below the Starling.

Mispillion Harbor, DuPont Nature Center, Delaware.

Possibly the most widely recognised image of Scotland....

Possibly a 'peak' (very near Mt Snowdon) but not impressively steep and even SNowdon is not stratospheric height by Alpine standards :)

Revisiting Snowdonia via the photo archive while travel is not allowed...

Possibly the most photographed location in Devon but I make no excuses for posting another shot.

Clear blue skies

Water in the harbour.

A west bound evening freight train.

Colourful Consist.

And the sun perfectly positioned.

66596 brings up the rear of the 1752 Fairwater Yard to Totnes Autobalaster looking good behind the blue water bowsers.

Possibly another snowstorm tomorrow night! Happy Sunday!
