Seemingly indifferent to the chaotic traffic and colorful canines below, a lone rider waits to board an evening L in Chicago's Loop.

Seemingly out of the sand this posse arises, gathers and heads for the water.
I know, I know, everything about the original image said crop me, crop me.
Well, I tried, I copped it here, I cropped it there, I cropped it everywhere, but every time I did, the focus shifted from the dynamic of the posse moving across the beach, to the women themselves.
So I released it as I saw it and liked it in Version 1, but you know.
Who cares, here's the cropped version anyway, and maybe I am wrong and this is better - c'est la vie.
Nur scheinbar noch am Leben - Only seemingly still alive
Die Annenstraße galt noch in den 1970er Jahren als eine der größten Einkaufsstraßen Österreichs. Im Lauf der Jahre ließ ihre Bedeutung allerdings nach, und inzwischen häufen sich die Leerstände von Geschäftsflächen. Im Frühjahr 2018 standen hier 27 Geschäfte leer, fast ein Drittel aller Geschäfte, Tendenz steigend. Umfangreiche Umbauarbeiten zur Neugestaltung der Straße, die in den Jahren 2012-2013 durchgeführt wurden, konnten diese Tendenz nicht stoppen, sondern haben sie womöglich sogar beschleunigt. In der Annenstraße ist der Wurm drin, wie überhaupt in der gesamten Stadtentwicklung von Graz.
In the 1970's the Annenstraße in Graz was still one of the most important shopping streets of Austria, but with the years its importance declined. Meanwhile there are more and more vacant shops (27 in the spring 2018, one-third of all shops, with rising tendency). The complete redesign of the street carried out in the years 2012-2013 didn't stop this tendency, perhaps it even accelerated it. There's something very wrong about the Annenstraße - and the whole urban development of Graz.

A seemingly uninspiring rainy day provide just the right diffused light to show the fresh green beech leaves and bluebells at their best.
Nur scheinbar, denn der Stiel hält die Blüte fest gefangen. / Only seemingly, because the stem holds the flower firmly.

A special thanks to all my Flickr friends and visitors, for taking the time to view and acknowledge my photography.
I would also, like to extend my thanks, to all those who place my images in their beautiful galleries, or use my images for their covers.
Additionally, I am truly humbled to receive so many thoughtful and generous testimonies. I cannot express how deeply touched and honoured I am, to find such caring and beautifully written words left on my behalf.

This tiger is on the cotton candy lantana, a seemingly favorite source of nectar for the tigers that visit. I must be doing something right, even though I have never seen a tiger swallowtail lay an egg on the host plants in the yard and I have never seen a tiger swallowtail caterpillar in person, they are visiting the yard pretty much daily now. The most I have seen in the yard at one time is four. That's pretty good considering they are free to come and go as they please and they used to show up on a rare occasion.
Like many of you, I will be slowly catching up on flickr. I have been away visiting family and friends in Ohio as well as hitting up parts of the Kentucky bourbon trail on my journey home. Now that I am home, I am preparing for a dreaded visit from hurricane Irma. My particular area is expecting a lot of wind and rain but in general things should be okay.
My thoughts, prayers and best wishes are going out to all those Texas and Louisiana that were affected by hurricane Harvey and to all of those people that are in the path of Irma. I hope that everyone listens to authorities regarding evacuation and tips on staying safe. Possessions can be replaced, people can't.
An idyllic place, seemingly in the middle of nowhere.
This building lies next to a hotel in this Hamlet on the shores of Ullswater. It is serviced by the Ullswater ferry four times a day, and you can also walk to Glenridding at the western end of the lake, or drive to Pooley Bridge at the other end.
Came across these seemingly abandoned stairway constructed with wood branches all twisted ad crossed. It didn't seem to lead anywhere specific and I assume it has been a long time since anyone attempted to walk that path. The steps were rudimentary and overgrown and the wood railings at the point of rot and instability. Truly forgotten I thought but crafted with such beauty.
Was a very wet and dark day so not much light at all I'm afraid but just had to capture this strange stairway.
.... seemingly with dark thoughts!

With seemingly endless patience & absolute focus, this guys remained motionless for several minutes here, before a lightning-fast strike delivered him a meal. Wonderful to watch.
Although seemingly an adult this bird is still a "teenager". There are still some brown juvenile feathers in the tail and under the wings. Other photos of this bird show some old feathers in the upperparts as well. This bird is also starting primary moult (inner primaries) which is rather unusual given the state of the plumage elsewhere but gulls don't read the handbooks and some of them are known to do this
Seemingly out of the sand this posse arises, gathers and heads for the water.

So here it is - as I saw it then.
This seemingly friendly Sea Lion, popped up to say hello. He/she was truly interested and/or inquisitive to inspect the likes of me with camera in hand, and 'my little dog too'.
Judging by her mates size, who at the time, was sunning on the dock..... it might be a pretty fair assessment to guess their individual weights at approx. 350-400 lbs!
Seen here in the Fraser River

Sea lions are pinnipeds characterized by external ear flaps, long foreflippers, the ability to walk on all fours, short, thick hair, and a big chest and belly. Together with the fur seals, they make up the family Otariidae, eared seals. The sea lions have six extant and one extinct species (the Japanese sea lion) in five genera. Their range extends from the subarctic to tropical waters of the global ocean in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, with the notable exception of the northern Atlantic Ocean.[1] They have an average lifespan of 20–30 years. A male California sea lion weighs on average about 300 kg (660 lb) and is about 2.4 m (8 ft) long, while the female sea lion weighs 100 kg (220 lb) and is 1.8 m (6 ft) long. The largest sea lion is Steller's sea lion, which can weigh 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) and grow to a length of 3.0 m (10 ft). Sea lions consume large quantities of food at a time and are known to eat about 5–8% of their body weight (about 6.8–15.9 kg (15–35 lb)) at a single feeding. Sea lions can move around 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph) in water and at their fastest they can reach a speed of about 30 knots (56 km/h; 35 mph). Three species, the Australian sea lion, the Galápagos sea lion and the New Zealand sea lion, are listed as endangered

The camellias. I could see them, seemingly endless rows of big, bushy green trees with waxy leaves and showy flowers the size of saucers. Pinks, reds- bursting into bloom, as if they'd been painted by the Queen of Hearts. -Sarah Jio

Great moment captured in Agonda, India, of this woman walking over rocks and the sun seemingly setting on her hed. A very special capture of a beautiful scene. Her pose is almost puppet like with her hands stretched out and her rucksack on her back.
A Little Owl, seemingly determined to avoid sharing its meal.
I doubt that this is classic mantling behaviour, as the timing of my shot has caught the bird regaining its balance after pulling at its prey. It certainly appears that way though.

Kill Boss
...
The surgically implanted comm, seemingly hardwired into his brain, pulsed again, the message filling his mind like an audible migraine, somewhere between a buzz and an ache.
...
Kill Boss
...
It really didn't help that he had no idea who of where this Boss was, let alone why he was supposed to kill him. But kill him he would, anything for the chance to remove the stifling helm that appeared to be bolted directly to his spine.
...
Kill Boss
...
His hand tingled, the synthskin glove throbbing and almost alive, a previously inert surface lighting up. Stopping, he raised the hand, looking down, watching the hazy outline of a hologram appear. The target. The Boss.

The seemingly endless Joshua tree's in the high desert of Kern County California at Walker Pass. The first Milky Way of the 2018 season kicks off what i hope to be a great night photography season. Whoo! hoo!
In some rural areas old, seemingly abandoned cemeteries have recent and sometimes vaguely-marked (or just unmarked) graves. Their stones, when they have them, stand out in stark contrast to the faded and fallen stones of their grandparents.
The same is true for the decorations, including this angel in a bucket. It was dim and raining when I entered the cemetery, and I saw this statue from a distance. Until I was in position to take the photo, I thought it was an older angel. In this sort of older cemetery that would have been pretty rare.
But this was probably a gift from the living to the dead. A fairy-like angel with a lantern to watch over the departed. And a bucket of cement to stand up against the spring winds.

American bullfrog seemingly in deep thought. Can't imagine what he could be thinking about.
Any thoughts?
Thank you for viewing and commenting!

Dainty Pearl Crescent butterfly hiding in meadow thatch.
Common though seemingly less abundant this year.
A common bird in any wetland area is the coot.
More famous perhaps as a reference to the follicly challenged than in it's own right. So often we overlook the common species in favour of the rare and exoticand the coot is no exception to this rule.
So in an attempt to redress the balance here is a lovely if slightly bedraggled little coot.

Many thanks to all those who stop by to comment and fave or even just take a quick glance at my pics. It is very much appreciated and welcome.
A daylily is a flowering plant in the genus Hemerocallis a member of the family Asphodelaceae, subfamily Hemerocallidoideae. Despite the common name, it is not in fact a lily. Gardening enthusiasts and horticulturists have long bred daylily species for their attractive flowers. Thousands of cultivars have been registered by local and international Hemerocallis societies. Daylilies are perennial plants, whose name alludes to its flowers, which typically last about a day. The flowers of most species open in early morning and wither during the following night, possibly replaced by another one on the same scape the next day. Some species are night-blooming. Daylilies are not commonly used as cut flowers for formal flower arranging, yet they make good cut flowers otherwise, as new flowers continue to open on cut stems over several days. Hemerocallis is native to Asia, primarily eastern Asia, including China, Korea, and Japan. This genus is popular worldwide because of the showy flowers and hardiness of many kinds. There are over 80,000 registered cultivars. Hundreds of cultivars have fragrant flowers, and more scented cultivars are appearing more frequently in northern hybridization programs. Some earlier blooming cultivars rebloom later in the season, particularly if their capsules, in which seeds are developing, are removed. 14096
A Pale Chanting Goshawk hunts for prey in the seemingly endless sand dunes of the Walvis Bay region in Namibia.
Bird description: Near endemic [in Southern Africa]. Common resident of arid savannah, semi-desert and Karoo scrub. Solitary or in pairs, usually perches conspicuously on a tree top or telephone pole, scanning the ground for prey. A versatile hunter that will run after prey on foot or pursue it relentlessly in flight; sometimes uses Honey Badgers or other mammals to flush prey.

With a seemingly endless parade of YN3 to shoot, the signals were the only appeal at Deshler at 4 in the morning. With a relatively short train, Q506 rumbles into town with a pair of AC4400s leading the way, splitting the classic signals that protect the south end of town.
A seemingly very common bird in eastern Europe but a lifer for us. Actually, nearly all the 175 species we saw on the trip were lifers for us. LOL.
