A silhouetted figure sits in a foldable chair on a dock, gazing out over a body of water bathed in golden light. The sun hovers near the horizon, casting warm reflections across the surface and creating a tranquil, intimate atmosphere. Vertical posts frame the scene, one marked with a “NO DIVING” sign that adds a subtle edge to the solitude. The image captures a quiet moment of reflection, desire, and stillness at the water’s edge.

Take the days slow and easy, no reason to rush. If I get their 5 minutes later I will still be there.
Probably Ephemera vulgata.
I have always enjoyed photographing the local Mayflies, and have lots of photos of them from over the years.
However, I still can't resist getting the camera out yet again for them.
Such intricate wings, that come across in photographs.
He is looking on trying to determine where the next cast should go. Where is he going to find that next big catch?
After high tide, the flood-lands of the IJssel seem to look like the cypress swamps of Louisiana in the south of the US of A. The tall trees all flooded and a smooth water surface due to the long exposure.

Razzle Dazzle
The Customs House in Dublin City Centre, on a long exposure like photo is a purple pink soup, however in reality its a projection of falling snowflakes, its the only snow you'll usually see in Dublin, purple or white ones.
Parts of the annual winter lights around the city.

Day 365. Went to see The Force Awakens for the third time today :) Had time to kill when I got to the cinema so went for a stroll along the river bank.
.....and that is that. Day 365, a whole year of taking photos every day. I've learnt a lot over the past year, but tbh it's not something I want to repeat in a hurry!
What I've enjoyed is exploring styles of photography that I hadn't thought about before, such as Street, Macro, Bokeh, Abstract, Low POV, Symmetry, Reflections...
What I've not liked is the drudgery of having to find a photo every day even when life is conspiring against you! ....And that feeling of frustration when the shot you thought was the "money shot" turns out to be out of focus when you look at it on the PC screen.
So, no 2016 365 shots for me, but I will continue to contribute to Flickr in some form (and I've got a stack of 365 reject shots to clear through and upload at some point).
Heron in the Reeds
A purple heron standing in shallow water among tall reeds and grass with its reflection visible in the calm water.
A moment of quiet contemplation by the water's edge capturing a moment of wildlife in a natural, outdoor setting.
The heron is positioned in the middle of the frame, partially obscured by the surrounding vegetation. Its long neck and pointed beak are visible as it looks forward, suggesting it is hunting or observing its surroundings.
The water in the foreground provides a reflective surface, mirroring the reeds and the bird's legs, adding depth. The vertical lines of the reeds frame the heron and draw the eye toward the subject.
The lighting is a natural daylight casting a soft glow on the scene. The colors are predominantly natural greens and browns, with the blue of the water and the subtle hues of the bird's feathers providing contrast. The overall tone is calm and serene.
Almost every day this gentleman coms to the dock and sits to watch the sun set. He is always along and enjoys smoking a pipe has he watch's the sun dip below the horizon. This day I got lucky, and a Brown Pelican was coming in for a landing.
River Cuckmere.
The Little Stint that I found on the River Cuckmere in the Autumn. It was feeding alongside a Curlew Sandpiper that my son spotted. It was quite bizarre as I was saying to him that there was a Little Stint and he was telling me it was a Curlew Sandpiper. We were both looking at different birds and both were unusual visitors to the Cuckmere.
These are growing wild by the river, I don't get to see them often, but when they bloom its a real treat.
The moonflower (also known as devil’s trumpet and thorn apple) is a lovely trumpet-shaped, self-seeding, nocturnal annual flower and a wonderful addition to your flower garden. A North American native, the moonflower was founded in Jamestown, Virginia, and its botanical name is ipomoea alba.
One of my favourite insects to photograph. The intricate wing detail is always impressive.
This is the first year for some time that I didn't manage to get to the river at the right time, but I do have a few past shots that I didn't post at the time.
Today the work day looks so much different than it did 10 years ago. Today you can take a call when you are sitting on a dock dangling your feet in the water. You can take a call while you are hiking in the forest. I think that technology has really helped the work\life balance for many people.
I don't know why I haven't posted this image of Ponte Vecchio I shot some years ago. I really like it. So without further delay:
Enjoy!

The Little Stint that I found along the banks of the River Cuckmere whilst on a walk with Matt.
The bird was feeding alongside a Curlew Sandpiper, that Matt spotted, and a couple of Dunlin.

A rare close encounter with the Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis). Fresh from a successful dive, the emerald-blue hunter perches with its catch still glistening in its beak. The vibrant colors, the wet plumage and the intense focus capture the raw beauty and precision of one of Europe’s most iconic fishing birds.

Eine seltene Nahbegegnung mit dem Eisvogel (Alcedo atthis). Direkt nach einem erfolgreichen Tauchgang sitzt der smaragdblau leuchtende Jäger mit seiner Beute im Schnabel auf der Ansitzwarte. Die kräftigen Farben, das nasse Gefieder und der konzentrierte Blick zeigen die faszinierende Eleganz und Präzision eines der ikonischsten Fischjäger Europas.

The beginning of a relationship, or is it simply just a ride. Can't say I have seen this before where during a sunset I was photographing a sea gull hitched a ride on a pelican. What do you think the name should be?

River Solace.
During the day, many young Cambodians come to the river banks seeking a cool and quiet place to relax. The popup coffee kiosks even provide a foldup chair to those who wish to be more comfortable. The only thing that slightly distracted this young lady from her phone was the river cleanup crew who were collecting plastic and leaf matter, as well as aerating the water.
The male Osprey with the fish was truly a stud! He caught fish when 4 others were always coming up empty. He also defended his female and chick when a jealous rival Osprey feigned an attack on them to try to get him to give up his fish. No!
