I only live 5 mins away from the heather moors of the South Pennines and, as it snowed yesterday, I thought I would try to grab a few shots of some Red Grouse today. I always think they look awesome in the snow.
This was shot with a 2-stop neutral density filter. The camera was on a mini tripod about a foot off the ground.
Thanks for viewing!
Red backed Shrike - Lanius collurio
The red-backed shrike (Lanius collurio) is a carnivorous passerine bird and member of the shrike family Laniidae. The breeding range stretches from Western Europe east to central Russia but it only rarely occurs in the British Isles. It is migratory and winters in the western areas of tropical Africa.
Once a common migratory visitor to Great Britain, numbers declined sharply during the 20th century. The bird's last stronghold was in Breckland but by 1988 just a single pair remained, successfully raising young at Santon Downham. The following year for the first time no nests were recorded in the UK. But since then sporadic breeding has taken place, mostly in Scotland and Wales. In September 2010 the RSPB announced that a pair had raised chicks at a secret location on Dartmoor where the bird last bred in 1970. In 2011, two pairs nested in the same locality, fledging seven young. In 2012 there was another breeding attempt, this time unsuccessful, probably due to a prolonged spell of wet weather. In 2013 breeding was again confirmed in Devon, with two young fledged at a new site.
This return to south western England has been an unexpected development and has raised speculation that a warming climate could assist the bird in re-colonising some of its former haunts, if only in small numbers.

Red Hills Ranch is located near Kelly, Wyoming. The Grand Tetons are at my back and about 15 miles away. It is magnificent country. You need to go down a long rugged dirt road so you need an SUV but it is worth it to see this fabulous area near Jackson Hole. (Edited in Lightroom, Photoshop and Topaz)
"Red is such an interesting color to correlate with emotion, because it’s on both ends of the spectrum. On one end you have happiness, falling in love, infatuation with someone, passion, all that. On the other end, you’ve got obsession, jealousy, danger, fear, anger and frustration."
Quote - Taylor Swift
For the Macro Mondays theme "Redux 2020" and my choice is 'One Color'.
You are looking at a fragment of a red plastic cup ;-))
Red-headed Woodpecker (Melanerpes erythrocephalus) is an incredibly striking bird: adults have brilliant crimson head, black back, large white wing patches, and white belly. These large patches of solid color are unlike other woodpeckers with more intricate patterns. Immatures have brownish heads.
Sorry that I can't visit your stream so often now coz I'm busy

Hope everything will be better in the next few weeks
Have a nice weekend...i love you all...
Red Shouldered hawk taking a few bites of catfish before taking it to the nest for the family. Taken at Corkscrew watershed area.
These leaves were just so pretty there ... captured at the Botanical Gardens there along the coast of Maine.
I had reason to be in my archives late yesterday so decided to post these three images from days gone by.
The petunia petals so weighed down with raindrops reflect the trees surrounding our back yard. I love this tint of red.

My third annual attempt to capture a fuchsia.
This is getting closer to where I wanted to be with this subject. It's still not exactly what I wanted, but maybe I'll get another chance this year :). The colors of this flower are so vivid and the curves of the shape are so delicate that it's worth the extra effort.
As with many of my flower macros, this was shot on a light table and was illuminated from behind.
This photo is a depth stack of 6 separate images, each of which focuses at a slightly different distance. I was shooting at f/32 to get maximum depth of field, but even then, when the nearest element was in focus, the farthest was out of focus and vice versa. The solution is to shoot multiple images at different focal lengths and then composite them in a Photoshop depth stack.
Hello amazing Flickr people!
Today is Monday, again! And it is a red day at Color My World Daily Group. The theme at Macro Mondays is fill the frame.
So what is red and fills the frame perfectly? Raspberries in glass of sparkling water, of course!
And since my weekend was a little bit too much festive, I definitely have to put an end to this excessive lockdown drinking! So here I am, Monday is the new beginning (again lol but I don’t mind starting over and over until it works) of my healthier and back to shape lifestyle. I will try to eliminate Nutella completely from my menu and replace it with raspberries (why not?). Let’s see if it works ;-).
For now, I have to go: my video meeting is about to start!! See you later my friends!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and healthy!! And enjoy your day!!!
