A real delight to see several wild Golden Jackals in the area.
They were extremely cautious though. If they saw movement or smelt you they would be off very quickly.
Great Tit [Parus Major]
A lovely afternoon brought literally hundreds of wee birdies to my feeders at The Pixies.
This Great Tit waited on a branch for a few seconds, before darting down to get a peanut. Sometimes, they will sit and eat sunflower hearts but normally they just swoop in, take a nut, and fly off, then come back and repeat the procedure. Apparently, they stash their food for later.

Boy, let me tell you! You had to be quick to get a shot of this little Winter Wren. It barley stopped to get a shot. Spent almost an hour with it. Bucks County PA.
the secret of the fox
ancient mystery
somewhere deep in the woods
I know you're hiding
what is your sound?
will we ever know?
will always be a mystery
what do you say?
*I took this awhile ago at Dispersion, but think it may be closed now?
I saw a hooded merganser couple in the creek from a distance. They swam away from me, so I continued with other subjects. I noted that the drake was approaching, and took up a position where I could catch a glimpse of him through the foliage. This was the result - one of the closest encounters I've had with a hooded merganser!
The Canadian Rockies are world renowned for their rich turquoise-colored lakes. The rich color is created by the density of rock flour suspended in the water.
That day we hiked the relatively easy and short Valley of the Five Lakes Trail in Jasper National Park, immersed ourselves into nature and saw five beautiful glaciated lakes up close.
Picture was taken at the Third Lake, where a set of the iconic red Adirondack chairs of the Canadian National Parks system were perched on the edge of the lake.
As luck would have it, as soon as we arrived, two men took up seats. It was a hot day so one even took his shirt off and hung it on the back of the chair. I lingered around for 15 minutes at least, hoping they would leave but they showed no sign to. As I was about to give up hope, they left the chairs and stood next to the tree with the shirt remaining dangling on the back of the chair. They were admiring the lake, so I quickly walked up, brushed his shirt down to the chair, snapped a quick closeup photo, and walked away quickly. I wonder if the man ever questioned why his shirt fell down!😁😁😁
I recognize the composition is not ideal but I am happy I got my shot!
On a different note, we finally arrived home late last night, after making a 9,787 miles (115,897 km) road trip. I can tell you that I sure missed my King size bed!☺️
Thank you for your visit and please enjoy the rest of the weekend!
Quick shot then moved on to Black Swallowtail. I liked how the sun captured one part of the flower and rest was shaded. The creamy back ground was just a bonus (yes same spot as the cone flower shot) Happy Sunday To All. Be safe out there.
This Yellow Rumped Myrtle warbler stopped in a branch near me. I always enjoy the bright colors of these birds.
Quite amusing watching these burying their winter stash but always finding time for a snack in between
That is how the leading daily here described the typhoon that hit the Philippines early this morning.
Definitely there were damages but we thank the Lord for our survival.
Please clck here to view this Large on Black.
Alternate title: "Quick! Get in the picture" Best seen large!
The black basalt columns of Reynisdrangar were ideal for picture taking on that rainy day. Found on the southern coast of Iceland.

I know I should have paid more attention to getting this symmetrical in camera, but I was too busy setting up the tripod (cos I didn't want to bump the ISO up any further) and then having to pick it (the tripod) up and rush to the side of the road to avoid traffic, then dash back and set it up again and every second the light was fading quickly. I tried cropping it in PP to make it symmetrical but in the end just couldn't bring myself to cut out any of those golden trees, so here is...imperfectly composed, but what the heck!!
Quick and dirty. It's ok... Painting with three fractured ribs, which is why it's been a little while.
I'll go back to the intense fills and crazy letters etc once the ribs have healed. I just needed to get something up on the wall today... I was going nuts not having done a piece for ages.
To test out the bounce flash settings I was using my brother-in-law was kind enough to pause for the quick portrait.
Captured while indoors at a wedding reception venue.

will return later but if I don't get to you, do know that I wish I could......get to everyone.

As I was driving by this old barnyard, I noticed a few chickens hurriedly making their way across the yard to the shed. Then I spied the problem. A cocky rooster was purposely strutting toward the hens with just one thing on his mind. All I could think of was that the farmer bought a new young rooster and the hens were not pleased. I wish I could have watched what unfolded, but I was stopped in the middle of a country road (yet again). I can hear the ladies now, “We want old Mr. Doodledont back again.”

El tiempo es impredecible en la alta montaña, aquí vemos el resultado de que bajen las nubes de repente en la Laguna Negra de Soria y la temperatura se ponga complicada. Será por atmósfera, cinco minutos antes el sol estaba brillando!

Weather is unpredictable in the mountain, here we see how quickly the fog can cover the landscape and drop the temperature in a moment. Five minutes before the sun was shining!

I caught this squirrel ate the leftover pumpkin. I quickly grabbed my gear, and the squirrel dropped a piece of the pumpkin as soon as I started shooting; shot only two, and it ran away. :-( It would be awesome to capture while the squirrel eating some piece of the pumpkins.
Switching from Catwa HDPro to LeLutka Evo X is taking some getting used to. I did some quick fine-tuning around my eyes and forehead, since yesterday.
The LeLutka default head-size is noticeably smaller than Catwa.
I only had to pull out my upper facial cyber attachment and lower attachments down about a millimeter.
Shot at Hillvale:
Pretty much says what I did here, with the rain coming down and another car coming along the narrow road, I jumped out camera in had and did a twelve shot pano beside Cummock water Cumbria .
