Probably less than half the size of the previous bird, the Green Kingfisher is the smallest of the three North American species, with an appropriately scaled catch. Crossing the resaca at Sabal Palms Sanctuary south of Brownsville, Texas.
probably because they are generally the same people :-)

Probably the most westerly Hotel and Pub in Britain, The Hotel sits on the western side of Barra overlooking the white sands of Tangasdale Beach which in itself is within the crescent shaped Halaman Bay just a few miles from the main town of Castlebay. A great walk from here takes you out along the beach to Ben Tangaval where you get lovely views stretching out over the Atlantic west coast.
The smallest poppy I have ever seen. Less than 1cm (0.40in) across .
Found and trampled on by Honey. Picked to photograph and press.
Probably one of the most photographed unofficial sights of this north Castilian city :-).
Love his deep green eyes!!
Probably unknown to most , Wildegg Castle near Sittendorf in the Vienna Woods is practically in Vienna, just outside the outermost city districts.
Probably not your everyday office view... This was a perfect day for dog sledding in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland - the sun was right there behind the clouds, the temperature was -19 C, no wind and just a hint of falling snow
Probably the last NS highhood I will ever shoot, even if I was still living in Atlanta I don't think I would have shot many more. NS 1625 leads a MOW train over the Coosa River in what was probably the Atlanta railfan event of the year.
Probably not the most original of shots but I wanted to capture as many of the beach huts as I could in the one photo.

This was probably my favourite outing during my trip to the Faroe Islands, probably because of the unexpected photographic opportunities. I set off hiking up Slættaratindur from the high pass of Eiðisskarð and could see the summit shrouded in fog and a fresh coating of snow, but continued nonetheless. On the ascent I encountered a Danish couple who said they'd attempted the summit but gave up due to poor visibility and treacherous conditions. Being the stubborn person I am, I continued to see for myself.
Personally, I didn't find much difficulty throughout the ascent, but there again I'm used to winter conditions on the mountains at home. There were a couple of scrambling sections nearing the summit, but nothing worse than I'd attempted beforehand. And I'm so glad I made the decision to continue as the views were incredible.
This is the 3rd country high point I've conquered after Iceland's Hvannadalshnjúkur and Norway's Galdhøpiggen, but certainly my personal favourite in terms of photography mainly due to the epic conditions. The mountain fog was swirling around the summit, revealing glimpses of the view in all directions. This is the view looking east towards Funningsfjørður.
The name Slættaratindur literally translates as "flat summit”, and although from a distance and during the ascent it seems a misleading title, on reaching the top the name becomes apparent as it is certainly more spacious than expected, albeit with steep drops on all angles.
After finding the male near the summit I was sat on the scree slope having lunch and planning what to do next, it was very kind of the female to clamber over the rocks and stand in front of me, maybe she fancied a cheese sandwich!
Perfectly designed for the mountains, the lack of snow these days does not really help them blend in anymore though, probably part of the reasons they seem so much harder to find.
It probably comes as no surprise to some of my Flickr friends that I would wrap up my tribute to the females of the species with a moose. And this lady is a real beauty. She appears to be in peak condition with a lovely sleek coat and healthy weight. And how about those eyelashes?
We found her in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado.
Probably a female Northern cardinal in an aviary of the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson, Arizona.
Probably the most elegant viaduct in Britain, the Ouse Valley Viaduct carries the London-Brighton Railyway Line. Construction started in 1839 and opened in 1841.
Nowadays, it's one of the most (if not the most) instagrammed viaducts in the UK.
Probably one of my first outdoor doll photo in Japan. Still having some more to post.
It's from a set that I forgot and left in stash. Just barely finish processing lol.
I also have F2.8 and F8.0 version of this picture, but I find this one looks best though....
I've probably been saying this for 10 years on Flickr now. But i do enjoy a spending a bit of time before work in Eastham Woods. Especially around this time of year! Its good for the mind and a brisk walk before work is great for waking you up!
I really like this spot. Its on the edge of the woods which allows the light to penetrate the canopy and light up the Autumn leaves. It was a rather damp morning from the night before and the sun was hiding behind a few scattered clouds. A Polarising filter really helped to bring the colours out by reducing the reflection on the wet leaves.
This was taken more or less in the same place in 2019: flic.kr/p/2hDjGWr
Probably the favourite bird from my trip of a lifetime to Costa Rica at the end of last year. Not maybe quite as showy as the Resplendent Quetzal or Keel Billed Toucan, but have attitude in bucket loads and those plumage colours spell danger, high voltage!
They are not looking for trouble of course, just a free lunch.
Taken at Laguna del Lagarto, Carribean Foothills.
Probably the most common 88s in this area. There are at least 12 species in the genus Diaethria. Some looks similar and confusing, and some looks special and unique.
All the Diaethria species in this trip were similar in appearance, and I only relied on the guide to tell me the IDs. I need to do some further searches.

Alcatraz, probably world's most famous jail. Back in the day, a place where nobody wanted to end up. Hosting USA's most dangerous criminals, a scene of many failed escape attempts that would end with the inmates drowning in the cold waters of San Francisco bay, so close to their destination. Alcatraz is the place where human souls were abandoned..
The Grey Heron is the most common heron species in Central Europe. It can be found in various habitats, but it is probably most often seen in the shallow water zones of lakes or in meadows lying in wait for its prey. Its typical flight silhouette can be distinguished from the crane and the stork mainly by the retracted head. A striking feature on the otherwise predominantly grey and white plumage are the slightly elongated black crest feathers.
Der Graureiher, auch Fischreiher genannt, ist eine Vogelart aus der Ordnung Pelecaniformes. Er ist in Eurasien und Afrika weit verbreitet und häufig. Weltweit werden vier Unterarten unterschieden. In Mitteleuropa ist er mit der Nominatform Ardea cinerea cinerea vertreten.

Cattle Egret - Bubulcus ibis
The cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis) is a cosmopolitan species of heron (family Ardeidae) found in the tropics, subtropics and warm temperate zones.
It is a white bird adorned with buff plumes in the breeding season. It nests in colonies, usually near bodies of water and often with other wading birds. The nest is a platform of sticks in trees or shrubs. Cattle egrets exploit drier and open habitats more than other heron species. Their feeding habitats include seasonally inundated grasslands, pastures, farmlands, wetlands and rice paddies. They often accompany cattle or other large mammals, catching insect and small vertebrate prey disturbed by these animals. Some populations of the cattle egret are migratory and others show post-breeding dispersal.
The cattle egret has undergone one of the most rapid and wide reaching natural expansions of any bird species.It was originally native to parts of Southern Spain and Portugal, tropical and subtropical Africa and humid tropical and subtropical Asia. In the end of the 19th century it began expanding its range into southern Africa, first breeding in the Cape Province in 1908. Cattle egrets were first sighted in the Americas on the boundary of Guiana and Suriname in 1877, having apparently flown across the Atlantic Ocean. It was not until the 1930s that the species is thought to have become established in that area.
The species first arrived in North America in 1941 (these early sightings were originally dismissed as escapees), bred in Florida in 1953, and spread rapidly, breeding for the first time in Canada in 1962. It is now commonly seen as far west as California. It was first recorded breeding in Cuba in 1957, in Costa Rica in 1958, and in Mexico in 1963, although it was probably established before that. In Europe, the species had historically declined in Spain and Portugal, but in the latter part of the 20th century it expanded back through the Iberian Peninsula, and then began to colonise other parts of Europe; southern France in 1958, northern France in 1981 and Italy in 1985.
Breeding in the United Kingdom was recorded for the first time in 2008 only a year after an influx seen in the previous year. In 2008, cattle egrets were also reported as having moved into Ireland for the first time. This trend has continued and cattle egrets have become more numerous in southern Britain with influxes in some numbers during the non breeding seasons of 2007/08 and 2016/17. They bred in Britain again in 2017, following an influx in the previous winter, and may become established there.
In Australia, the colonisation began in the 1940s, with the species establishing itself in the north and east of the continent. It began to regularly visit New Zealand in the 1960s. Since 1948 the cattle egret has been permanently resident in Israel. Prior to 1948 it was only a winter visitor.
Probably the only day this July where it actually felt like Summertime. Here sees 43029 'Caldicot Castle' passing Coryton Cove beach, shortly after leaving Dawlish with the 2C69 0900 Cardiff Central - Penzance 7/7/23. (Taken using a pole)
St Giles’ Cathedral probably dates from the 12th century (Normand architecture) but it was rebuilt in a Gothic style from the 14th to the 16th century. Built as a Catholic Church, the cathedral became Presbyterian after the Scottish Reformation in 1560, with John Knox being the first Protestant minister. The stained-glass windows all date from the 19th and 20th centuries and are an outstanding feature of the cathedral.
The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland identified St Giles' as "the central focus of the Old Town". The church occupies a prominent and flat portion of the ridge that leads down from Edinburgh Castle; it sits on the south side of the High Street: the main street of the Old Town and one of the streets that make up the Royal Mile. St Giles' forms the north side of Parliament Square with the Law Courts on the south side of the Square.
La cathédrale Saint-Gilles date probablement du XIIe siècle (architecture normande), mais elle a été reconstruite dans un style gothique du XIVe au XVIe siècle. Construite en tant qu'église catholique, la cathédrale est devenue presbytérienne après la Réforme écossaise en 1560, John Knox étant le premier ministre protestant. Les vitraux datent tous des XIXe et XXe siècles et constituent un élément remarquable de la cathédrale.
La Commission royale sur les monuments anciens et historiques d'Écosse a identifié la cathédrale Saint-Gilles comme « le point central de la vieille ville ». La cathédrale occupe une partie proéminente et plate de la crête qui descend du château d'Édimbourg; elle se trouve du côté sud de la High Street : la rue principale de la vieille ville et l'une des rues qui composent le Royal Mile. Elle forme le côté nord de la place du Parlement avec le palais de justice du côté sud de la place.
After 6 years I'm heading back to the UK, where exactly is still unclear, probably chasing the good weather. But Scotland is of course on top of the bucket list. Therefore I had to re-edit some of the old pictures
I probably won't get a chance to see the comet that's passing by now but it got me thinking about the stars and then I found this image from last summer.
Probably 1951 when we moved to Pompano Beach, FL from Whitinsville, MA.
This week some secular holiday photos! And a Happy Monochrome Thursday one for today.
Jesus is the gift and the reason for the season.
