While I play Tav quite a bit, the unsung hero really is my alt Lytho McGinnis. She's always a badass in whatever role she plays, from stern matron at Mischief Managed to now a Tactical Medic at Cocoon Station. Some would say she likes hurting people just so she can have the fun of patching them back up.
Quite a spectacular waterfall is formed near to Meteora, Greece, at the NE foot of Mt. Koziakas (Pindus range) whilst raining. The waterfall is named after the nearby unspoiled village Hayia Paraskevē.
Augusta National Golf Course is the most beautiful course in the world. Famous for its garden-like appearance, it is truly Georgia's crowning glory. It is also the place where the US Masters is played every April (until this year). So that explains my title. This scene in the setting sun is pretty, but it's not quite the same as Augusta in the Spring. I wonder if Bobby Jones would have liked this course in south eastern Melbourne.
If I'm right (but I'm no botanist), there's even some Magnolia trees right behind the flag on this green.

There is another number 10 than might be more important than this one, but they do not have such an impressive and beautiful door.

The gills were not quite right, they were dozens of them and a lovely sight, up to 65mm across cap.

Nothing quite like a small falls to refresh and recharge one during a hike. This little rill was near Sol Duc Falls, one of the PNW's most impressive falls.

Sad that much of Washington state is burning up. Wicked firestorms destroying for a generation some of our most beautiful forests and lands. The air is thick with smoke.
May those struggling so hard to get this destruction under control prevail soon.
Hope your weekend is off to a great start.
Quite the shapes the little Anna's hummingbirds get themselves into as they search among the flowers
Even the anhinga, during mating and breeding season, wear their colors well. The male adorns that trademark gorgeous eye ring of bluish-green, their beak gets more brightly colored, and that "hairdo" becomes even more stunning. Yes, there's something really special about this time of year in the south. This guy was contemplating which branch he wanted to retrieve to take back to its nest.
Happy Saturday everyone!! Thanks for taking the time to view.

Quite a panorama from the back of the ship looking out over the city of Da Nang. It has grown considerably since the ravages of the wars of the 1950s-1970s
Quite a bit of fog around at Southend-On-Sea today, making for some atmospheric shots! Due to the effect of the light and the fog this shot of part of the pier naturally came out mono - no colour adjustment needed!
quite some time since I've made an attempt at a time lapse, and processing this one was long overdue.
150 six-second exposures
Quite a build-up of sand around these rocks since the last time I was here. The dark circle surrounding the rock circle is ash washed ashore after the bushfires. Bunga Beach Mimosa Rocks National Park NSW.
The weekend before the last I was really mad at myself for being too lazy to get out in the cold in the morning, and by the time I was motivated, I didn’t have much time. Nevertheless, I thought I could take a short walk with my camera at lunchtime, so I was going to drive to a specific place in my hometown from which I knew that it had potential for some nice images. However, there was quite a layer of snow on the road and so I couldn’t drive up the hill, mostly because I had to slow down to get around the only tight turn. I really regret not getting out sooner because then I could have walked up there, but that’s the way it was. So I spent the following week hoping for some snow the next weekend.
Fortunately, it snowed the next Friday and this time I was sure to get out, no matter what the weather conditions are. The next morning, we woke up, put on several layers to protect ourselves from the cold and started our hike up the local mountain. Since not a single person had hiked up there that morning, we had to fight our way through a calf-high layer of snow resulting in a hike that took us more than two hours instead of the 45 minutes it takes us to get up there in summer. Of course we stopped a few time to take some images, but mostly with our smartphones as the snow was beautiful, but I found the scenes were lacking some mist that reduces the chaos and typically drastically simplifies such forest scenery.
Once we reached the top, we were very happy that the hut was open and we could warm up and get something to drink and eat. After a fairly substantial lunch, we decided to start our descent, but before I really wanted to walk up the last few steps to the summit cross, especially since a bit of mist was rolling in. I knew that I had once taken a quite nice image at this spot, but I noticed that my girlfriend wasn’t really in the mood to wait long for me since it was really cold and windy out there. So I hurried up, took out my camera and snapped a few handheld shots, and I was really glad I did when I looked at them on the laptop. Even though it was not exactly what I had imagined, I really like how this image turned out. I hope you like it too!
Quite the focus that this Red-tailed Hawk has... must be some little rodent or something we couldn't see that he could.
Quite a chunky looking member of the agamid lizard family, the central, or inland bearded dragon (pogona vitticeps) is a native of Australia. I photographed this specimen at Entopia Butterfly Farm, on Penang island, in Malaysia.
it was quite dark so I pulled up the shadows a bit to see this handsome ...I think..sharp shinned hawk. If the id is wrong, please let me know.
Thank you to all that comment and/or fav and take the time to stop by and visit....it's very appreciated!

At the beginning, I found the theme quite difficult and I struggled to find something…
A “beverage” is supposed to be in a container and glass and every other material I used gave the picture undesirable reflections.
Worst of all, the bubbles I would have liked to catch were absolutely erratic: when I managed to get in focus some of them… BLOB … they moved or disappeared!
So, I took ton of photos, drank a lot (not alcohol, only mineral water and soft drinks, to have fresh subjects for my shots) and played with some post processing that usually I don’t have :-))
This is the image I prefer: I hope you will like, you'll judge by yourself.
One thing I can tell you: I really enjoyed my time and had fun
HMM
P.S. at the end, I put everything upside-down: this way, the top of the picture is the lower part of the glass of this “blond” drink
Quite an uncommon bird for us, so I was happy to catch it as it has now flown off. Less flamboyant but just as elegant as the drake, in my opinion. Serenely navigating the waters of the Harlem Meer under drizzly weather, Central Park, New York.
Quite a late meeting in town tonight near Liverpool Street Station. The Kindertransport statue puts everything into perspective: it's all well and good liking a new handbag, but the little cases these children brought with them was all they had. Just like the poor children in Calais right now. :(
We saw this great hollowed out tree base on our bear walk in the rain forest. We were quite happy there were no bears that close to our trail!!
The Iconic Eastern Span of our Bay Bridge. Shot with the flying Hasselblad at morning twilight.
This is five images shot in burst mode. I stack them within adobe bridge - 'Load files into photoshop layers' under the tools tab. Auto-align, then convert to a smart object, lastly change the stack mode to Mean or Median, this cleans up the noise quite well. I will even reduce noise further in camera raw when necessary, and sharpen for final output.
Quite a busy scene here. I bought some new magnetic filters and thought I'd give them a try. I didn't need any of the ND filters but used the CPL here. So easy to use compared to before. I highly recommend them.
Quite a few old-growth trees form this wild-rookery that the
great egrets, wood storks, and great blue herons love to nest
in. They have been returning to these trees for many years.
It's a very popular and very 'loud' location. Thanks for looking.

“This is quite the season indeed for friendly meetings. At Christmas, everybody invites their friends about them, and people think little of even the worst weather. I was snowed up at a friend’s house once for a week. Nothing could be pleasanter.“ – Jane Austen, Emma
*
Jane Austen (16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817) was an English novelist known primarily for her six novels, which implicitly interpret, critique, and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage for the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security. Her works are an implicit critique of the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Her deft use of social commentary, realism and biting irony have earned her acclaim among critics and scholars.

Quite a while ago I stumbled on to the Unger Farm Store and was surprised it was out in the country by itself.. Some nice things around it.. No one was in the store so haven't a clue what all he has.. Happy Fence Friday, Everybody!!
