Also, this marks my 100th photo on Flickr Explore.

Green heron - - - - - - ( Butorides virescens.)
A small, stocky wading bird, the Green Heron is common in wet spots across much of North America. It can be difficult to see as it stands motionless waiting for small fish to approach within striking range, but it frequently announces its presence by its loud squawking
The Green Heron is part of a complex of small herons that sometimes are considered one species. When lumped, they are called Green-backed Heron. When split, they are the Green Heron, the widespread Striated Heron, and the Galapagos Heron.

The most-photographed property in Dungeness, I should think -"Prospect Cottage".
Prospect Cottage is the former home and sanctuary of artist, filmmaker, gay rights activist and gardener Derek Jarman (1942 - 1994).

As much as I have snowy shots from Peggy's I also have a few from Prospect as well. I don't think I could ever tire of photographing my favourite places as everytime I get something completely different. I love the way the ice is breaking around the rocks in this shot and the light on the shacks in the distance.
The Prospect of Whitby is London’s oldest riverside pub dating back to 1520. The original flagstone floor survives and the pub also has a rare pewter-topped bar, as well as old barrels and ships’ masts built into the structure. The pub was originally frequented by lightermen, watermen and others who made their living on the river and at sea. It was a notorious haunt for smugglers, thieves and pirates. Famous customers include Charles Dickens, Samuel Pepys, ‘Hanging’ Judge Jeffries and the artists Whistler and Turner. It used to be called The Pelican, but was also known as The Devil’s Tavern. Judge Jeffries lived nearby and a noose hangs by a window, commemorating his custom. According to legend, criminals would be tied up to the posts at low tide and left there to drown when the tide came in.

***************************
I tried an HDR (high dynamic range) photo once a year ago, but for some reason never pursued it. But it seems that more of and more of the "interesting" photos that I see on Flickr are HDR shots, so I decided to give it another try. The first of these HDR shots were taken from the rooftop of my apartment building at sunset, on the Sunday evening of 4th of July weekend. Subsequent shots (including this one) have been taken out on the street, from the terrace of my apartment at night, and walking through Central Park at mid-day...
This photo is one of a group of ten that I took in the "Sheep Meadow" area at the south end of Central Park. I knew that the trees, the grass, the buildings, and the sky/clouds would be stationary, and I figured that I could pick a time/scene where most, if not all, of the picnickers and sunbathers were reasonably stationary. But there were always a few people in motion, especially the young kids; and though the "ghosting" effect of their movement is sometimes interesting, I think I've concluded that it gets annoying after a while. But aside from that, it is possible to take these HDR sequences (which, in the case of these Sheep Meadow shots, involve the merging of 5 separate images into one composite) in a handheld fashion, without a tripod.
I still have a *lot* to learn about this stuff, but even as a first attempt I'm staggered by what the tonal-mapping software programs (Photomatix, in my case) are capable of doing...

Former home and sanctuary of artist, filmmaker, gay rights activist and gardener Derek Jarman (1942 - 1994)
One of my favorite things to do is to take my parents to Brooklyn's Prospect Park. We've been doing it for last 3 years. We love the colors that nature presents us.
I hope you enjoy this photo as much as I did taking it.

The late Derek Jarman's home, Dungeness. The poem on the wall is from John Donne's 'The Sun Rising'
'Busy old fool, unruly Sun,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windows, and through curtains, call on us ?
Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run ?
Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide
Late school-boys and sour prentices,
Go tell court-huntsmen that the king will ride,
Call country ants to harvest offices ;
Love, all alike, no season knows nor clime,
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.
In that the world's contracted thus ;
Thine age asks ease, and since thy duties be
To warm the world, that's done in warming us.
Shine here to us, and thou art everywhere ;
This bed thy center is, these walls thy sphere'
