Seems to be hummingbird season, and on this particular day I saw them sitting down more often than I usually do.
There seems to be a fad on Flickr at the mo of capturing autumnal woodland paths so i thought i would have a crack.
i half expected to see a teddy bears picnic

explored on nov 21 2007 number 204
I was thinking of another title for this pic, but I completely forgot(><)
Seems already in winter in the mountain.
This I took with 600 film, too;)
in March 8th, we commemorate the International Women's Day, in order to emphasize women's rights in the World.
Sadly, it seems that at least that in my country, Mexico, being a woman is now a dangerous entity. If a woman goes out at night with a man who has coronavirus, she has more risk of being abused than contract the coronavirus disease.
10 Women are killed every day in my Country, which is one of the saddest statistics ever written.
But which is more sad is that our "left-wing government" and our "progressist president" has shown its more rancid conservative shade and has turned its face away from the feminist movement. They have look down and underestimate the high rate of feminicide and female abuse, so now women have organized and have shown high power, and tomorrow, March 9th they have planned A National Female Strike
No woman on the streets
No woman at work
No girls at schools
No woman at universities
No woman shopping
The ninth no-one moves
#onedaywithoutus
#undíasinnosotras
And now the Mexican government have fear.
"(...) And nothing feels the same
Tonight
But something had to change
I'm not just someone else's girl
I am a woman of the world
I'm soaring, flying, riding high and free
And nothing's gonna get to me
I am a woman of the world
I'm living life like it was meant to be
And nothing's gonna get to me"

Yesterday seemed to be a boring sad day. My friend told me there is a regional racing competition with some old modified cars. I knew three good of them and I thought will be a good day for photography experiences to try some techniques... And it was fun!!! I hope You will like some of the images i will post.
Upps. Das hier ist wohl doch nicht der Ozean.

... yes, the pond seems a bit too small ... I had promised to show the ice cube on which later the currant did swim (see: flic.kr/p/24FZ3Mv) - so here is the original fish, even a little melted ;-)
///
... ja, ein bisschen zu klein scheint das Gewässer oder der Tümpel zu sein ... Ich hatte ja versprochen, den Eiswürfel zu zeigen, auf der dann später die Johannisbeere geschwommen ist (siehe: flic.kr/p/24FZ3Mv) - hier also der Original-Fisch, auch schon etwas geschmolzen ;-)

Everybody seems to lay or hatch eggs at the moment. Luise is not hatching her eggs. Laying eggs seems to be exhausting for her and the eggs were really big. Made us wonder, how Luise can hold the eggs under her shell. We don't keep the eggs in an incubator and thus we don't get new tortoises. We got 7 now. The male ones bite the females when they are in heat, and that's really no fun for the females. In the wild Hermann's tortoises become 30 years old but if there are no predators around they can become up to 90 years old. Luise will most likely live longer than me.
It seems like ages since I uploaded any black and white images, and just looking it was actually back in November last year, so to break up the colour uploads I thought I'd share this one.
Taken back in February of this year this was a bitterly cold morning on the banks of Loch Lomond, with snow still on the mountains in the distance, not much of an issue if you are are just grabbing a passing shot, much more so though when your image exposure time runs into minutes, which with a heavily overcast day it was always going to as the ND filters were always going to be brought into play, jumping about near to the camera to keep warm wasn't an option for obvious reasons so I had to do it further along the shore, a few people were about walking their dogs, I don't know if they actually noticed the camera set up but needless to say I got a few strange looks..
It seems like all of the autumn months have a solid start: September with the new Crow movie, October with the massive 15th Montana ( flic.kr/p/2qndLFM ) and now, November with the first locomotive of the MMV Zrt. This colourful Asea started its hungarian career as 400-628 at the private company in 2007, 17 years ago. It's so much time, isn't it? Today the Asea pulled a freight train loaded with crap metal from Curtici to Hodos. It stepped aside for a few minutes on Budaörs, and continued its long journey behind the passenger trains.

A river seems like a magic thing. A moving, living part of the very earth itself. Be like a river. Be open. Flow, my friend...
Das Leben ist wie ein Fluss. Ein Fluss scheint etwas Magisches zu sein. Ein sich bewegender, lebendiger Teil der Erde selbst. Sei wie ein Fluss. Sei offen. Fluss..
La vida es como un río. Un río parece una cosa mágica. Una parte viva y en movimiento de la misma tierra. Ser como un río. Estar abierto. Fluir..
La vie est comme un fleuve. Une rivière semble être une chose magique. Une partie mouvante et vivante de la terre elle-même. Soyez comme un fleuve. Être ouvert. Couler..
La vita è come un fiume. Un fiume sembra una cosa magica. Una parte mobile e viva della terra stessa. Sii come un fiume. Essere aperto. Fluire..
Seems that I have been held, in some dreaming state
A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake
No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber
Until I realized that it was you who held me under
Felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids
Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs

This concept didn't quite work out the way I wanted it to, but it felt good to even have a concept again at all.
Inspired by her amazingness.

It seems like only yesterday that my eldest started uni.....driving through bus lanes with the car packed full......I've consoled myself that from various points in the Wirral I can kind of see him over there....well the general direction of where he'll be!
But as this academic year draws to an end and Masters beckons he'd decided on a totally different part of the country .......I'm taking it as new places for me to explore too - obviously bringing his favourite foods in a survival hamper along :)
"It seems to me that this war is currently the most important conflict taking place in the world.
Perhaps this is the end of the Cold War. Because it calls into question all these basic, fundamental values and norms of world order, world order. It's like a school situation where there's some bully terrorizing the whole school, and everyone else stands by and watches to see if that bully can win against the normal, good students. And the same is happening all over the world.
If Putin is allowed to win, we will see more "Putins" in South America, in Asia, and so on. If, on the other hand, this bully is stopped and punished, then it will become clear that you cannot be a bully, you cannot be this bully, you will rely on the rules. And this is the idea of democracy, peace, international law and world order."

“Мені здається, що війна в Україні наразі є найважливішим конфліктом, що відбувається у світі.
Можливо, це закінчення Холодної війни. Тому що вона ставить під сумнів всі ці базові, засадничі цінності і норми світопорядку, світового ладу. Це ситуація, як у школі, коли є якийсь хуліган, який тероризує всю школу, а всі решта стоять і дивляться, чи цей хуліган зможе перемогти у протистоянні з нормальними, хорошими учнями. І так само відбувається по всьому світі.
Якщо дозволять Путіну перемогти, то ми побачимо більше «путіних» у Південній Америці, в Азії і так далі. Якщо ж з іншого боку, цього хулігана зупинять і покарають, то тоді стане зрозуміло, що ви не можете бути гопником, ви не можете бути цим буллером, ви будете покладатися на правила. І в цьому і полягає ідея демократії, миру, міжнародного права і світового порядку.”

Seems it was late afternoon relax time. Two quite content to preen and chill while the one casually sifted the water, not caring to move from where it stood. They're looking so healthy. Must be plenty of food down there.
Although Fynn is sitting in a sheltered area of the decking you can tell by the hair on his chest, ear and tail that we are having a quite windy weather these days. Fynn doesn't mind because he likes wind. He is the only one of my cats who spends time outdoors in this kind of weather.
This effect seemed to be caused by sea spray being force up from small caves under the rocks....there was a lot of smoke in the air from BBQ,s, a South African tradition on the new year.
I always admire people who can just "do" street photography. They are up there, in my book, with those who seem to be able to waltz into a forest, snap a photo and walk away with an amazing shot. I like to dip my toes into both genres but am never really happy with the results. In fact I seem to recall making it a new year's promise a few years ago that I'd try more when it comes to both street and woodland photography.
With this in mind I headed down to Littlehampton beach front for a spot of street photography. Parked the rental car and tried to pay for my stay - 2 hours should be enough I thought - only for the pay machine to throw a fit and declare it's card reader non-operational. I fumbled in my wallet and frustratingly only had enough coppers and half pennies for one hour of parking. I'll make the most of it I thought and headed off to this location. After a few minutes of standing here, waiting and working on my composition a primary school class and teacher showed up. Not wanting to get into trouble, or get suspicious looks thrown my way I wandered 250 or so meters away to another shelter/bench like this. Set up again only for the same class to show up and sit there after a few more minutes. Frustrated I stomped back to the original location. Almost 20 minutes in and I hadn't really gotten anything. Lo and behold, a few minutes later the same class came back. The teacher grinned at me and I knew then she was doing it deliberately. So I stood my ground, pointed the camera in this direction and waited her out. She blinked first, sheepishly herding her class away to the right of this scene. Victory! But it cost me 25 minutes of my one hour of parking.
Came away with some shots that I'm really happy with though they feel a little same-y with the cool shapes that meander across the scene. I did try and get the odd cyclist but couldn't time it quite right with them being half hidden behind the structure. Guess I need to get out and practice street photography more then....
It seems like the Western Kingbirds make a brief visit to a site not too far from home every year and this year I managed to catch them. In the past it has take as many as a dozen trips to come across them.
I had just driven around the DND Base on the Matsqui Flats and I had just logged in my finds to eBird and I was about to drive off and spotted this wonderful bird hanging out on the powerlines in front of my truck. Great start to May!
Mondays always seem to be too full of meetings and post-weekend email avalanches. So although 11am Heather had every intention of taking the real camera to a cool place for today's photo, 11pm Heather cropped a picture of her eyes, decided it was "artsy" and called it a night. Still in the game.

"But a girl like you
Could rip me out of my head
Black tears on your cheek
I want them in my bed
I'll take you out of the city
Honey, right into the shadow
Because I wanna find tomorrow
I wanna find tomorrow with you baby"

This massive sculpture of metal does not seem at first glance to be relevant to London’s greatest Gardens. However the design is related to a beehive. The Hive is the design of UK based artist Wolfgang Buttress. It was originally created as the centrepiece of the UK Pavilion at the 2015 Milan Expo. It is constructed from around 170,000 parts including thousands of pieces of aluminium, each of which catch the changing sunlight. There are 1000 LED lights dotted around its core which glow and fade while a unique soundtrack hums and buzzes around you. These multi-sensory elements of the Hive are in fact responding to real-time activity of bees in a beehive at Kew. The sound and light intensity within the space changes as the energy levels in the real beehive surge, giving visitors an insight into the life inside a bee colony.
This shot is taken from the space underneath the sculpture looking up to the next level and its glass floor. I found the pictures which had people on the next level were the more interesting giving some scale. In this case it was another photographer looking down. I had just finished taking photographs when Martin Emmett another member of my local Camera Club coincidentally turned up, small world.
The picture was taken handheld with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 10-20 mm lens at 10mm. 3 raw images 2EV spacing processed with Photomatix Fusion Real Estate for a natural look. Noise reduction with Topaz DeNoise and more detail with Topaz Clarity. I used a second stronger round of Topaz Clarity on another layer with a layer mask applying it only to the Photographer above

Seems so long ago now. Taken back in July, the summer, we never really had (well apart from this evening).
It seems a little late in the year to be spotting fledglings, but maybe I just don't know that much about nature.
I heard a bunch of chirping in this bush and went to investigate thinking it would a more developed bird and to my surprise I came face to face with a cardinal fledgling.
Nice find, and I managed to get a shot before the Mama cardinal got sick of me.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Seems I'm flipping between blurred images to in-focus images... It does keep my little mind occupied :))
Seems late in the year to see these still flying about.. all the other butterflies seemed to have vanished!
The spider seems to have woven a new web outside our kitchen window. The double-paned window had been cleaned inside, but not outside. (The blurry dark vertical lines are the balusters supporting the railing around the deck.)
At the moment that I snapped this, the wind was causing the web to dance vigorously. When I looked at the image on the computer, I was surprised that the filaments had as much definition as they do.
Seems to have vauxhall badges on the rear and Opel wheel trims but the number plate it comes up as an Opel which is probably right.

Seems like everyone is on the web these days ... tee hee ...
Sure HOPE All Of You Are Having A Great Week ...
It seems like very little effort to me to go on my lunch to Gelt Woods and take a photo for this project. After all it is precisely 6 minutes from my office car park until I am standing in the spot this was taken at.
I realise I have it easy in this respect and perhaps that is how it should be - but for a change I made an extra effort. Although the river isn't deep at all I didn't want to fall in and the rock banks are precariously slippy, something that concerned me a little during my leafy handicrafts.
Plus during the making of this photograph, not one but two acorns fell on my head.
The hoverfly seemed to have staked out this flower. When a green sweat bee came along she seemed strangely wary of the fly. They didn't want to share. They jockeyed for position. The bee snuck a couple sips of nectar before going on her way. The fly's larvae will protect the plant against aphids. The bee might not realize it, but the hoverfly's life cycle protects the food source for both insects. Best leave her alone, and leave her some nectar.
