a seagull walking on a frozen lake near my home.
As the weather is hot during the day, the surface of the lake is not really frozen, that's the reason why the reflections are so nice.

I went shopping yesterday for a new pair of trousers, but didn't find anything nice. So perhaps the sewing machine may have to come out again. These pins my come in handy. HMM:)

A lovely view up the sounds from Cullen Point lookout on the scenic route to Whakatū / Nelson.
I find this view rather captivating although the bright light reflecting off the leaf on the left keeps bringing me back out. I went to 'correct' it but found the photo lost something so here it is.

Emas at the Yushima Seidō, with a big basin of water in front of them.
An ema is a wooden plaque on which you write your wishes and prayers. The name is written with the kanji for 'picture' [e = 絵] and 'horse' [ma = 馬], reflecting an ancient belief that horses could bring wishes to the kami, the gods. But emas are not only used at Shinto shrines, they are often seen at Buddhist temples too - a practice that dates back at least to the Kamakura period (that is 1185-1333). And in this case, a Confucian temple.
The name of the place (湯島聖堂 with Japanese kanji) actually just means 'the sacred hall in Yushima'. It was built in this spot in 1690 (there was an earlier temple, founded in 1639, built in what is now Ueno Park, but the shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi moved it here). The temple was closely associated with the Shōhei-zaka Gakumonjo school of Neo-Confucianism, state-run from 1797 to the Meiji restoration of 1871. After 1871 the temple has shared its grounds with several educational institutions (and the Ministry of Education, and the Tokyo National Museum) - currently you can find parts of the Tokyo Medical and Dental University in the vicinity, and the school's emblem of a plum blossom is said to derive from the temple. Students praying for success in their exams come to visit here.
I am a "mountain" person. This scene took my breath away. I know I don't do it justice in this shot, but the picture reminds me standing there on a cool morning while my worries are put on pause.
losing someone makes you take a step back and reflect ~ days ago my rl cousin became one of God's angels...we grew up together, partied together and even though time drifted us apart I still feel and will always feel this togetherness as cousins do. I wish her peace in her new journey as she is now painfree...♥
An older image I was playing with in Lightroom and some small tweaks in CS3. There is a lot to still learn, it scares me to think just how much...
Mirrors hanging from the ceiling reflecting light into inner windows at the new Flinders University building at Tonsley Park.
The migratory raptors are returning and there's still snow on the ground! It's cause for some excitement; these are wonderful conditions. The snow reflects light back up to brighten their undersides better than the best studio bounce light. It doesn't happen every spring; last year most of the snow was gone by mid-March. By June the fresh grass can even create a green cast on the pale underside of a hawk's wings - not the most appealing result.
When this Ferruginous Hawk came off a power pole, the bounce light was perfect. This is a full frame image. No crop. That doesn't happen often in wildlife photography.
