A view from the path from Goats Hause to Coniston Old Man - one old man climbing another you could say 😄
"Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird"
I used to sing this song at school many many years ago & I loved the Cat Stevens version! It seemed to fit this picture even though it is a female blackbird (Bertie`s other half). Taken in my garden. Used a slight texture from ipiccy
Nur ein paar Minuten dauert der Traum am Morgen. Dann ist die Sonne schon wieder zu grell.
Diese ICM-Aufnahme - Intensional-Camera-Movement - entstand nicht am Meer, sondern im Landkreis Aichach Friedberg am Mandichosee bei Sonnenaufgang.
Die leichte Krümmung am Horizont ist nicht die Erdkrümmung, sondern ein nicht korrekt ausgerichtetes Stativ.
Dream in the morning
The morning dream lasts only a few minutes. Then the sun is already too bright again.
This ICM shot - Intensional Camera Movement - was not taken at the seaside, but in the district of Aichach Friedberg at Lake Mandicho at sunrise.
The slight curvature on the horizon is not the curvature of the earth, but an incorrectly aligned tripod.
The sea kisses the sand, whispering tenderly: "Do not be afraid of the scorching sun, we have come today to cool you - as every day for thousands of years."
The beach in Diakofti is one of the two that I have seen sand with slight pink shades because of the rubbed corals (the other is Falaserna in Crete). When the Gods created Earth, they were very generous with Greece ...

Rework of an image I've posted before. Misty Blue at Meols beach.
It's currently sat in the car park along with most of the other dinghies. Become quite friendly with a few of the boat owners over the past year and they are hoping to get some of the boats back on to the beach as and when they are allowed.
Really miss Meols and the light there.
Slight exposure adjustment, but this really is pretty much SOOC, a very intense looking sky
The Catskills, 11/21/15
A great moody day at high tide, so for a change no reflections. The wispy misty clouds had small gaps appearing now and then, letting the sun fleetingly light up the silent sea, hence, A Slight Reprise, by Half Man Half Biscuit.
While down in Ledbury for Christmas a slight mist descended among the trees and footpaths of the local park.
Valencia - August 2015
The bridge that crosses the City of Art & Science at sunrise. At that time the water in the pool just at bottom of the bridge is almost still gifting wonderful reflections.
A Black-and-white Warbler captured at Magee Marsh during the warbler migration through there this May.
There's a story behind this one. I was walking down the boardwalk when I spotted this black-and-white warbler and surprisingly it wasn't hurry-scurry, but actually paused a bit from its frenetic pace, allowing me to get some shots. After it had moved on out of sight a lady next to me signed heavily. I asked what happened and she said that her camera battery had just died and she had captured no photos at all of this lovely creature. I really felt for her but I was happy that I had several spare batteries on me, so that wasn't going to happen to me (I hoped...). So, don't let that be your story, that you weren't carrying spare batteries ;)
Taken 10 May 2017 at Magee Marsh, Ohio.
I photographed this Pectoral Sandpiper near Utqiaġvik (formerly known as Barrow), way up near the Arctic Circle. This male Pectoral Sandpiper had staked out his stage, a slight rise in the tundra that isolated him perfectly from the background and elevated both his posture and his ego.
In breeding season, these sandpipers head far north and crank the drama up a notch. That puffed chest isn’t a medical emergency—it’s a built-in sound system. The male inflates air sacs in his breast to produce a deep, booming hoot, like a feathered subwoofer trying to impress the neighbors.
And the high ground? That’s no accident either. In the flat tundra, elevation means visibility. From this perch, he can advertise to the ladies and shout territorial warnings to rival males: “This rise is mine, and so is the good acoustics.”
He’s loud, proud, and dressed for the season—because in the bird world, love is war, and sometimes war is won by looking fabulous and yelling about it.
Couplet: Stage Presence
He puffed out his chest like a bird with a plan—
Booming his heart out across the flat land.

With so much colorful beauty fronting Rundle Mountain, a slight reflection illustrates that water surrounds the area as well. (but does not distract from the subject)

A slight change of position, crop and exposure time to a previous shot from the same trip. I love how you can slow down time in photography and smudge moments.
The title is a line from this poem:
Dover Beach
BY MATTHEW ARNOLD
The sea is calm tonight.
The tide is full, the moon lies fair
Upon the straits; on the French coast the light
Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand,
Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.
Come to the window, sweet is the night-air!
Only, from the long line of spray
Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land,
Listen! you hear the grating roar
Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,
At their return, up the high strand,
Begin, and cease, and then again begin,
With tremulous cadence slow, and bring
The eternal note of sadness in.
Sophocles long ago
Heard it on the Ægean, and it brought
Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow
Of human misery; we
Find also in the sound a thought,
Hearing it by this distant northern sea.
The Sea of Faith
Was once, too, at the full, and round earth’s shore
Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled.
But now I only hear
Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar,
Retreating, to the breath
Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear
And naked shingles of the world.
Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.

#Brush
One last, desperate attempt at getting at least a decent image for our "Brush" theme (after spending half of the afternoon trying to make a tiny brush, made for small bottles with thin necks, look like a Christmas tree).
I've photographed this toothbrush (exclusively bought for macro photography) once before in high-key for a past "Pastel" theme (please see the first comment). And if that was the "A Night At The Opera" version, this low-key attempt is the "A Day At The Races" variant. Or so.
To get extra close, I mounted the Laowa 50mm 2x macro lens, which also means it's a single shot. Illuminated mostly from above with my natural light photo lamp and, stupidly, also from the right with one of the LED lamps, which explains the slight colour change on the right because that lamp casts a more yellowish light. But I didn't want to take yet another photo. I left the protection cap on the brush because I thought it added "something" to the scene.
Since from this POV, the toothbrush's handle was in the way, I glued it onto the table tripod's head (with modelling clay) to get a little more stability (and stabilised the brush's head with my hand). I pointed the camera slightly down to get a good view of the colourful bristles. That's it.
HMM, Everyone!
The Racetrack was still wet in some places. We had a long trail ahead, so I didn't get much time on the lake bed. I need to come back here and spend more time.
I enjoy my runs. It helps my thinker think and stay happy! Don’t have the fortune of having a harbour to run around in the mornings but we do have a beautiful nearby industrial estate with a main road :)
I took this photo at Circular Quay in Sydney’s CBD. Bit of an experiment really, but I like the slight motion blur of the runner as he runs around the harbour foreshore.

Have a nice day everyone! ❤️
Indigo Macaws - this is a critically endangered species resident of interior northeastern Brazil. These macaws are metallic blue throughout with a slight green tinge and have yellow on the bare orbital ring and in a semi-circular patch at the base of its lower mandible. These beautiful birds inhabit caatinga thorn scrub vegetation with stands of licurí palm (Syagrus coronata) and pastures near sandstone cliffs which they use for nesting and roosting. Although this species had been known to science through traded birds, a wild population wasn't discovered until 1978. Since then, several smaller populations have been discovered, with a final population estimate of 140 birds being made in 1994. The Indigo Macaw may have never been common, but wide scale clearing or licurí palm stands and hunting for meat and for the pet trade have decimated populations of this bird. Drastic measures are needed to save this bird from following the same path as the similar, and now presumed extinct, Glaucous Macaw (Anodorhynchus glaucus). doi.org/10.2173/bow.indmac1.01
For a Blue Monday to raise awareness about the need for preservation.
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

This female Red-winged Blackbird has just snatched some green-eyed insect. She was seen at Dufferin Islands, Niagara Falls, Ontario.
Red-winged Blackbirds must be one of the most common birds in North America, yet many people do not recognize the female. She is not black.
Though I have photographed hundreds of female red-wings, I have never noticed one with the slight reddish patch on the shoulder noted in the picture above. (Place cursor on the picture to see the notes.)
I had once again a slight non productive month in the way of Photography in November 2022.
So I decided to share a capture from a series I took in Decembre 2022 instead.
One of my hardships in life is that I never sleep. Due to chronique pain in my life... I have gone for years without a healthy amount of sleep nightly. An although it plaques me and is reeking havoc to my longterm health.
I did learn to work with and around this issue.
When the moment I picked up a camera and started to teach myself the wonderful (albeit sometimes hard ;-) ) world of photography.
I found an outlet to release my nightime restlessness of never sleeping. And I found a way to get through the pains of my nights.
And although it's not for everyone... Not being able to sleep has it's advantages when it comes to doing photography. I use driving as a form of therapy to calm the nerves and relax the body. And though even if it doesn't help in the way of pain management... it does allow you to go around at night in the cities, towns and country roads and see things so few people ever see or even know about.
When you add being an avid photographer to the mix... You can capture so many unexpected and magical night time scenes. Or see Nature's nocturnal side alive and well and so wonderfully active, all from the window of your car.
With the added bonus of NO traffic and nobody on the roads... It makes for a wonderful relaxing and visual photographic experience, driving around between the hours of 1am to 5am.
For that (and that only..) I and so grateful to be able to occasionally physically drive myself around at night and capture beautiful scenes such as this!!
Although between you and me... I wish I could sleep too! :'(
Anyone who hasn't been to the Christmas market in Tivoli, I can highly recommend a visit. With al the lights i every color and snow, small, big buildings. I was so mesmerised that I forgot I was in Copenhagen for a second.
This is one of the many beautiful moments. A little lake with colorful light bulbs.
Happy Bokeh Wednesday!
This night photograph was taken last November at Haloyon Villa in Wuyi Mountain in Fujian Province of China.
The landscaping within Haloyon Villa near its main hall included a stone arch bridge across a small canal which led to common facilities. It was a quiet evening, with slight breeze. The stone features in the foreground, and reflections in the small pool, provided interests to the serene nightscape.
I remember that during those days, nature seemed to me to be enveloped totally by the sun; it already was physically, but it seemed to me that an even stronger sun enveloped it, saturated it, so that the whole of nature appeared to me as being “in love.” I saw things, rivers, plants, meadows, grass as linked to one another by a bond of love in which each one had a meaning of love with regard to the others.
