Milarepa's Cave near Annapurna III in central Nepal. Legend has it that Milarepa lived on nettle tea and his skin turned green, but there in the cave he wrote songs and poems, reaching higher and higher in his hopes to become enlightened.

The Reeves's Pheasant is a large (up to 210 cm long) pheasant within the genus Syrmaticus. It is endemic to China.
The name commemorates the British naturalist John Reeves, who first introduced live specimens to Europe in 1831.
The male is a brightly plumaged bird with a scaled golden white and red body plumage, grey legs, brown iris and red skin around eye. The head is white with a black narrow band across its eyes. The male has an extremely long silvery white tail barred with chestnut brown.
They have been introduced for sport and ornamental purposes to Hawaii, USA, Czech Republic, France and the UK. In the latter three countries they have built up small breeding populations, and are still released on a small scale for shooting, often alongside Common Pheasants.
Due to ongoing habitat loss, and overhunting for food and its tail plumes, the Reeves's Pheasant is evaluated as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. There are thought to be only around 2000 birds remaining in the wild.
Reeves's Pheasants are known to be aggressive towards humans, animals and other pheasants. Their call note is unlike other gamebirds in that it is a musical warble, more passerine sounding than would be expected. Their diet is vegetable matter as well as seeds and cereals. They are fairly common in aviculture.

East View King's Hotel.
One of the viewers referred to this hotel in my last post of it as "the ugliest hotel that he had ever seen." This comment was appreciated because then I felt satisfied that I was doing my job properly!
Here is how it looked 4 years ago when I shot it.

It's driving me crazy seeing all these amazing deer pictures when I'm not able to get out to our deer park, this is the same fellow as appeared in about a hundred similar pictures, from last October at Bradgate Park. Why do lenses have to be so bloomin heavy !?!
Thank you for your visits my friends..wishing you a beautiful Valentine's Day with your loved ones..

A wider view of Markarian's Chain taken with the Carl Zeiss Jena lens.
The chain is just slightly above the center of the image with a number of other galaxies surrounding it towards the edges. It's believed that around seven of the galaxies are interacting as they are observed to have the same or similar motion with respect to each other, and the others just in the line of sight.
The galaxy just slightly below and to the left of the center is Messier 87, a huge galaxy around 53 million lightyears away!
I'm thankful for another clear evening! It's been a while.

The left kick to remains of the road to the old Yarramundi bridge (which kicks off to the left just before you hit the new bridge) is the perfect parking spot and vantage point for trails on this li'l bend. And once I realised that I was there. Now, whats annoying is that not a single car came in the opposite direction for the whole hour-and-a-half I was waiting, so I couldnt get any front on headlights. Still a fun spot for fun light trails, so worth returning any other morning.
Well g'day there everyone. Although I've been a bit absent here generally the past few months, I did not expect to be away for almost two weeks. Eek. Alas I will be pretty much lost in the real world for the next week or two again but wanted to pop in, show you all a pic and say hello. Will try and catch up with y'all over the next day or two before I leave town.
And this is an oldie and one that I posted to Instagram almost 6 months ago now apparently. It is the third in this little batch of three images of seated people. I really like the reflections just next to the S. Hope you're all well me hearties.

Last Sunday was Mother's Day. I have a friend of 23 years who entered me into a Mother's Day competition with a florist. She gave a beautiful description of who I am as a mother, friend and person. I found out on Monday that we won the competition. My prize is $500 worth of flowers delivered over 10 weeks. My first bunch arrived yesterday afternoon. It has lots of stunning lilies and some gorgeous orchids also. I'm feeling very blessed. Here is the first one that opened today... B x
Mother's Day in Thailand is celebrated on August 12th, the birthday of Queen Sirikit the Queen Mother of Thailand who was born on this date in 1932.

Training ship the Stavros S Niarchos berthed in what was becoming a traditional spot for her over the winter period up until she was sold recently, It would be really good to see her back where she belongs this winter.
It's been a while since I last posted an update. Nice to see a lot of new people in the group! So many cool stories and great pictures. Keep them coming!
Really fun story here. So many strangers at once that I would feel like cheating if I posted each portrait individually. So here they are: the boys and girls of Seamus McDaniel's in Dogtown.
I was early for class, so I decided to grab the camera and take a walk around the neighborhood. I spotted the lovely ladies with the green background taking a break outside the the kitchen. I went, introduced myself and told them about the project; they thought it was a fun idea and were happy to partake. They asked if I needed more people to for the project, and before I could even reply they went inside and sent out the rest of the staff! They would come out the back door and say: are you the guy who's taking pictures? Quick shot and they sent the next one. So much fun!
It all happened so quickly that I didn't even get to ask for their names or an email address. But it's all good, I know where to find them.
Another Lincoln's Sparrow today. This one was out in the bright morning sunlight and allowed for several 'keepers'.
The Lewis's Woodpecker was described by Alexander Wilson in 1811 and named after Meriwether Lewis who first saw the bird in 1805 while on his famous westward journey with William Clark.
This male is hard at work harvesting acorns while being mobbed by Mexican Jays; in a front yard here in Hereford, Arizona.

This is one I've been working on for some time, it's gone through a few different versions and after a lot of on and off work is finally done. I always struggle with favourites, but Return of the Jedi might be my favourite Star Wars movie and the whole Jabba sequence at the start of the movie might be my favourite moment in the movie.
Enjoy! If you're after more images of this, there's heaps more on the YouTube Slideshow video, so check that out if you're after more: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MelXexd1-Pk
This is the most cooperative Cooper's hawk I have ever seen. I walked all around him/her and watched it for an hour from a distance of 20 to 40 feet. He is sitting on a brush pile waiting for sparrows to forget that it is there, which they did four times exposing themselves to potential harm, but he missed all four times. He chased a couple of birds that were in nearby trees and flew by so close several times that I could have reached out and touched him. Each time he he attempted to capture a bird he returned to the brush pile. I went in the house and returned several time, once to get my tripod. He was here from about 8:30 to noon. I left at noon so I don't know if he captured a meal but he was not here at 2:30 this afternoon when I returned home. IMG_0755
Thor’s Well is part of Cape Perpetua, a typical Pacific Northwest headland – a forested area of land on the central Oregon Coast, surrounded by water on three sides. Thor’s Well is also often simply called the Spouting Horn. It is essentially a huge salt water fountain operated by the Pacific Ocean’s power.
This natural spectacle is at its best when it’s the most dangerous to watch – at high tide or during winter storms.

McGill's 0662 SJ23HVL in Edinburgh heading to the bus station to start a Flixbus service to Aberdeen. 23rd July 2023.
Technically not really an Eider but grouped with them loosely the Steller's Eider is a sea diving duck than spends the winters out in the open Baltic sea and breeds in North Western Alaska and Siberian Russia. This particular male was very very skittish till another lone male showed up. There was a lot of chasing and short flights making for good photo opportunities. Photographed on the Northern slope of Alaska, near Barrow while on a photography workshop with Matthew Studebaker.
There's a whole world around us,
just waiting to be explored
