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.

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!
Sometimes those that lurk in the background... are the biggest support one can find.... or are they... bloody gnomes broke my shoe and there ~~Matthew~~ is standing in the background... LURKING... not helping...

Matthew has been a long time friend and amazing through out the years. He doesn't truly Lurk but is right there and always with a quick whip comment
This Yellow Rumped Myrtle warbler stopped in a branch near me. I always enjoy the bright colors of these birds.
Did a quick raid on Glencoe for the trip up Beinn a'Chrùlaiste for sunset. However, after a scorching hot day of blue skies, the clouds rolled in a blotted out the sun well before sunset. Luckily i managed a few shots with Pete posing on the famous 'lump', enjoying the view of BEM and the Glencoe valley off in the distance. All was not lost, however, as the Clachaig was open for a very well- earned rebalancing of body fluids.

The Macro Mondays theme for today, 9/6, is candy. This is a jolly rancher sour gummy. It’s in pretty close- since the gummy is about an inch long; i used a clip-on macro lens. Am liking this because the sugar crystals show up and also form the bokeh.....
But i also like the experiment fail, next in the photostream. i thought it would be cool to "tie-dye" a piece of cotton candy, using food coloring-- but dissolved it right quick ~grin~... who knows --when i wake up in the morning, i may decide to use the experiment one ~~giggling~~
Autumn in Melbourne is always beautiful, with many wonderful deciduous trees full of colour and ornamental vines like this one, but you have to be quick to catch the latter for the red tones of the season come on very quickly, and just as quickly the leaves are gone.
Melbourne has experienced a wonderful Indian summer this year, and as a result, not only are there still plenty of beautiful blooms about, but the Autumnal colours are starting to appear.
This anhinga has spearded this fish underwater and brought it to the surface.
The question remains, how do you get a double speared fish off your twin beaks and down your throat?
Well I will tell you if you have patience.
First and foremost is keep tension on your beaks; keep them spread apart so the fish can't 'wiggle' off your beaks.
Next - keep it at the end of your beak(s) for a long time, why?
Well you want it to stop struggling ....
Then, thrash it all about..................
See the photos in the comments
Now that the anhinga has moved it (quite quickly) up, down, sideways, and upside down, the anhinga prepares for the end of this phase of the process, which is the...........
A quick visit to the coast of Western Alentejo and just to photograph the storks. Also, weather was unpredictable. So, I only had one lens. Hence, this picture. Lucky that is was sunny and dry whilst we were there, well for a few moments. These are baby seagulls.

On an empty beach in Sri Lanka, a person has retreated to reflect on his life in solitude as the day draws to a close and night will quickly fall.
The clouds were parading by quickly there along the Maine coastline in Acadia National Park.
Captured with the Ice Brand 10 Stop ND filter.
Just a quick "for the record" snappano of the Minturn Trestle (not quite famous, but bound for infamy) I took on the drive from Leadville to Vail. Note to self: return to Minturn, with a drone.

Grab the camera! and hope he doesn't make for a quick get-away! which luckily he didn't! There was just enough time to click some shots off., rounded the day off nicely!
So much snow the last few days that I'm starting to tire of it. The dogs , however, are still loving every minute.
Quick capture with #lgg6photography of the Old Fraser Bridge (CN Railway Bridge) in Prince George. When I was a child it was the only way across the river. Over 100 years old...the bridge, not me. #oldbridge #bridge #railwaybridge
