This is the same flower as the one I posted yesterday, but taken at a lower pov and with a different focus. Here the sun is the focus instead of the flower and I filtered it to bring out the sunshine. This might be what my friend Gunta has suggested to be a flowerscape rather than a flower shoot! Which one appeal to you more?

Same a water lily.

Short Eared Owl - Asio flammeus

Over much of its range, short-eared owls occurs with the similar-looking long-eared owl. At rest, the ear-tufts of long-eared owl serve to easily distinguish the two (although long-eared owls can sometimes hold its ear-tufts flat). The iris-colour differs: yellow in short-eared, and orange in long-eared, and the black surrounding the eyes is vertical on long-eared, and horizontal on short-eared. Overall the short-eared tends to be a paler, sandier bird than the long-eared.

The short-eared owl occurs on all continents except Antarctica and Australia; thus it has one of the most widespread distributions of any bird. A. flammeus breeds in Europe, Asia, North and South America, the Caribbean, Hawaii and the Galápagos Islands. It is partially migratory, moving south in winter from the northern parts of its range. The short-eared owl is known to relocate to areas of higher rodent populations. It will also wander nomadically in search of better food supplies during years when vole populations are low.

Hunting occurs mostly at night, but this owl is known to be diurnal and crepuscular as well. Its daylight hunting seems to coincide with the high-activity periods of voles, its preferred prey. It tends to fly only feet above the ground in open fields and grasslands until swooping down upon its prey feet-first. Several owls may hunt over the same open area. Its food consists mainly of rodents, especially voles, but it will eat other small mammals such as mice, ground squirrels, shrews, rats, bats, muskrats and moles. It will also occasionally predate smaller birds, especially when near sea-coasts and adjacent wetlands at which time they attack shorebirds, terns and small gulls and seabirds with semi-regularity. Avian prey is more infrequently preyed on inland and centers on passerines such as larks, icterids, starlings, tyrant flycatchers and pipits.

Taken the same day as my last post. They seemed very happy to greet each other. This went on for a minute or two. The female was already on the rocks with her ducklings when the drake arrived. He greeted the ducklings too, although not as enthusiastically. I suppose it could have been a adult child returning to visit its mother, I've seen juvenile, almost adult males do that. But I'd guess it was her mate. In any case, they definitely shared some affection. I felt double lucky to see it. It's my favorite thing to photograph. I know people who refuse to believe birds feel emotions, even though its plain as day that they do. And I just love to see them show it.

Happy Sliders Sunday!

Happy Valentine's Day!

The hawk and car were taken same day just a few miles apart. Also burned a sketch filter into scene.

I made a lot of photos of this little origami King Dragon, because of the various expressions it got, depending on the position of the head, besides that it was fun folding it ;-))

In this shot one can see a figure like mythological person instead of a dragon. That's the reason I show you this last version of this lovely origami model. I processed the photo to give it a more magical look.

In the first comment box you can see two previous photos of the same model.

Enjoy your Sunday and stay safe ;-)

Thank you kindly for your visits, comments and faves.

Trying to do it in the same camera, a challenge that we think and doing all kinds of tests until it goes more or less like that, with more than 5 shots the color is distorted a lot and the profiling is not good anymore, but I think the challenge we have managed ..

Probando hacerlo en la misma camara, un reto que nos pensamos y haciendo todo tipo pruebas hasta que sale mas o menos asi, ya con mas de 5 tomas se falsea mucho el color y la perfilacion ya no es buena, pero creo que el reto lo hemos conseguido..

The same beach, the same day, many hours later; it's a hard life, but somebody has to live it,

My husband shot this patient—or scared-witless—Pacific tree frog using his Nikkor 200mm macro lens and his old Nikon D4.

Same position but different angle than mine—in first comment.

There's room in the world for many different styles and apertures, and Howard and I are at either end of the spectrum. He's an IT Doc and physics guy, and has little close-sighted vision. We make a perfect pair, united in admiration of this tiny frog. Howard took this at 13:58. I took mine at 11:40. Both in shade of back deck.

same street, opposite diagonals.

The same tree in Hasliberg as in other photos before but this time I included the road. I took this shot while it was snowing and almost hailing. If you zoom in to the hut or the tree you can see the streaks of snow.

same bear as posted yesterday. He is young here and I'd imagine by now he is huge. This was taken in 2013 and if he's grown into his legs and paws, he is a boar to reckon with.

Here he is just across the river from me and I had a 500mm lens with a 1.4x on it. no crop or anything. Taken at 10:15 PM

goin’ the same

the same place, the same day, but three years between and a loss. The crystal ball stands for a favourite person lost to cancer last year.

My world has been turned upside-down. (thx Aaron)

Sorry but not sorry♥

The same morning as my previous post which turned out to be quite productive for me - unusually - normally if I get one photo from an outing then I'm happy but several showed themselves to be decent from this morning (by my standards obviously!). This, when the grey blanket that had descended for several minutes was being burned off by the sun.

...as last holidays. Every time since the little pier of Hvidbjerg Strand has been constructed I have to creep under the building to take a shot. It has become almost an obsession. Needless to say that this exercise is more convenient in Summer and times of low tide. Blavand, Jylland, Denmark

Same rose, different look!

I added a light vignette which I thought suited it very well.

I have a very similar rose growing in my garden, which seems to given up flowering now so this one is from a bouquet ....

Same spot with the kit lens

Same night different foreground, still looking for shapes and reflections! I think the rocks on this bit of the beach have so many curves and so much character that the pool probably isn't needed, but i just love reflections!! Just as you are is a track by Robert Wyatt, a great favourite!!

Same as:

same two as before

This time a more general view of this excellent tomato. It tasted much better than the supermarket tomato's.
