red seats repeated... I liked the way the light was hitting the tops of the seats. A 13 second exposure at f/9 w/ISO 200, was a fun setting.
Set Desc: Photographs of The Ohio Theater in Columbus Ohio, which was the subject of the a recent Columbus Flickr Meet, with over 40 Flickr folks from the Central Ohio area converging to hang out, and photograph this beautiful theater.
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.

Because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
I just came across this wee picture I took of red berries a few months ago and I thought this would be the perfect time to upload it to flicker as it is sort of Christmassy though should have uploaded it last week...lol. I hope it is sharp enough for flickr. I'm at that stage now were I need to go over older pictures as I haven't been out recently taking any new ones...lol. Christmas took up all my time and then I go and get a bad cold which ruined everything. Anyway hope somebody at least likes this one....Thank you
I had reason to be in my archives late yesterday so decided to post these three images from days gone by.
Donostia 2015. I saw the vessel with the red spinnaker coming from afar (you got it Cordula ) and waited for about 10' til it reached a visually attractive point in my framing without sacrificing the nothern cliffs of Santa Clara island. I was iffy about whether or not entirely letting out at the top of frame the narrow Urgull's shoreline, but I also wanted to include the surf, which helps to suggest an eye path across the picture.
The petunia petals so weighed down with raindrops reflect the trees surrounding our back yard. I love this tint of red.

(IMG35682ec2a)
One of the Queen's own red deer stags in Windsor Great Park. I stalked him for 15 minutes doing everything right - upwind, silent etc. but he made me when I was still 60-70 metres away by the sound of the shutter which, I guess, isn't as silent as it seems. What a magnificent beast!
So, no need to make the trek to Scotland to see these. This photo was taken about 100 metres from the Long Walk which is where you saw Harry and Megan in their carriage on wedding day.
