Seemingly, a bulked-up juvenile male Ruby-throated Hummingbird checking the sun's angle to determine when its migration to South America should begin. Once he gets a north wind, he'll be gone until mid-April.
Fairly Uncommon.
This walk is rarely far from the river. I am constantly fascinated by the activity which is seemingly never ending
After a seemingly never-ending curfew - over six months - I was finally able to resume the practice of night photography. I went out on the very first night and was welcomed with a deluge.

I was on a mission yesterday to find the remains of an incident and came upon remains of a different kind. An old cemetery dating back to the 1800's, seemingly forgotten with over grown weeds and tipping headstones. I found beauty in the stillness, as if time had just stopped here. Headstones indicated beginnings and endings, but not much else in between.
Jet seemingly fast asleep. heard me mention on the phone to a friend "we must go out for a walk in the hills soon" !
Amazingly dogs whilst seemingly fast asleep are always listening in.
张家界－老屋场－神兵聚会
This magic place, seemingly out of this world, is in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in northern part of Hunan province, China. It is said that the geographic formation in the park inspired James Cameron to create planet Pandora for his blockbuster movie "Avatar".
To capture the first slice of golden sunlight shinning over that towering peak, I have to get up 4 AM in the morning, hire a local driver to take me to the place beyond the reach of "normal" tourists.

Upon the top of that same craggy ridge
The caption used is from a poem by William Wordsworth, from The Prelude.
While at a roadside pullout along the main park road on the Tennessee side of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The view is looking to the north-northwest to ridges and peaks of the Eastern Great Smoky Mountains with Anakeesta Ridge. Given the low clouds that were along the mountain peaks, I chose to minimize those overcast skies and focus the image on the spurs and ridges coming off the main peaks. I liked the layers that they brought out with the tree lines and the way the spurs and ridges seemingly came after the other. The rest was metering the image to so that I could capture some of the details present in the overcast skies while still being able to pull the more shadowed areas along the mountainside later in post production.

After seemingly rearranging his food cache behind for a while, the beaver walked forward and disappeared in the water. I had not realized that there was a beaver house and food cache in one of the storm sewers open water spots. Douglas Park, Wascana, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. 1 December 2020.

Unionnale
Sponsored by TD
As part of ArtworxTO
You say ale, we say alley. Unionnale was designed as a special art “alley” that captures colour and artworks inspired by all the neighbourhoods of Toronto. The space presents visual storytelling and artistry through a fun and creative artistic installation in the heart of the station. As part of Union’s continuing contemporary programming and ArtworxTO’s public art initiative, the art selection in Unionnale will rotate every two years, with artists chosen through a juried selection process.
Presenting Flux by Esmond Lee
Flux examines the relationships between everyday moments, spaces, and materials found within Toronto and beyond to reveal a fantastical, yet familiar world. From quiet industrial sites to bustling streetscapes, the qualities of urban, suburban, and rural spaces are blended together to reveal their hidden connectedness. Cultures and norms conventionally understood as fixed to specific locations are untethered to form new, imaginative landscapes free from the boundaries of time and space. The photo-collages of various shapes and sizes invite viewers to experience both the many details and the whole together, without using any particular framing or perspectives. Viewers are encouraged to experience these artworks from any spot and viewing angle: roam slowly to see the various parts, pause to examine particular details, or stand back to see the work in its entirety. Places conventionally understood as fragments can now be understood through their commonalities, negotiations, and entanglements, asking: how do seemingly far-reaching places operate together on a continuum of complex, interwoven landscapes? Flux challenges the very tensions and conflicts produced by political and economic boundaries that divide our landscape – and its people – into abstract, disparate spaces. Whether for leisure, opportunity, or by force: the bodily movement and gesture of people shapes and creates space, just as space shapes and informs the movement of people in a reciprocal, dynamic relationship under continuous flux.

Simple an awe inspiring view of our beautiful mountains, with seemingly endless ridges stretching into the distance. Earlier, a couple stopped at this overlook while I had my camera setup as the darker mass of clouds moved overhead and the lady walked over and ask what I was looking at. My response was the view and just waiting on the light. "The light," she ask, "What light?" I explained the possibilities, due to the light areas in the clouds in the distance. They drove off, probably thinking that old guy's a nut. This is what they missed, just a few minutes later...

While in Arches National Park, I came upon this Utah Juniper, seemingly sprouting out of pure rock. As a lifelong backpacker and wilderness explorer, I am accustomed to occasionally seeing this phenomenon of trees growing from tiny bits of dirt in the crevices between rocks, yet still it fascinates me. Nature always finds a way. A good reminder to Grow Where You Are.
The skull seems to be smiling. A vet friend said that the skull/spine are those of a deer. The muscular dog, seemingly proud of his find, is a Labrador cross.
Quite the sight and my only shots of the field trip were of this oddity.
Seemingly endless waterfall cascades at the magnificent and amazing Fjallfoss o Dynjandi located in the Westfjords of Iceland.
Although seemingly rare, black leopards make up about 11% of the leopard population in the wild.

With a seemingly endless array of loco models and colors flowing through the Valley, it was still a unique surprise to have a high-hood GP30 lead a D&H train, seen here exiting the Lehigh Gap and coming into Palmerton.
I witnessed it seemingly drift down from a telephone pole and lightly touch down, only immediately to rise up again with a small rodent of some sort. It carried it to another pole and began lunch proceedings, where I was fortunate enough to snap off a photo.

"...poems of geology stretching beyond any boundaries and seemingly even beyond the world.” ~Norman Maclean
Around the geothermally active area of Geysir, Iceland. The water here boils straight out of the ground. It really does seem like another world.
Seemingly dormant for some time, but does seem rather clean. Typical Rover beige,or if you want to be sophisticated, champagne.
Seemingly not a very well liked bird and considered a pest for damage to crops.
Another very common bird but not so common for me so was happy to be able to photograph it.

seemingly everywhere you looked there was another gorgeous and interesting image to capture. Olympic National Park.
This is the seemingly endless dirt and dusty road to Alice Springs in the outback of the Northern Territory of Australia.
There were only two dominant primary colours in this scene - the red hues of the land and the blue of the sky.
I took a colour shot, but much prefer the B&W rendition of the large format pinhole shown here.

The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope's mid-infrared view of the Pillars of Creation strikes a chilling tone. Thousands of stars that exist in this region disappear from view — and seemingly endless layers of gas and dust become the centrepiece.
The detection of dust by Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) is extremely important — dust is a major ingredient for star formation. Many stars are actively forming in these dense blue-grey pillars. When knots of gas and dust with sufficient mass form in these regions, they begin to collapse under their own gravitational attraction, slowly heat up, and eventually form new stars.
Although the stars appear to be missing, they aren’t. Stars typically do not emit much mid-infrared light. Instead, they are easiest to detect in ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared light. In this MIRI view, two types of stars can be identified. The stars at the end of the thick, dusty pillars have recently eroded most of the more distant material surrounding them but they can be seen in mid-infrared light because they are still surrounded by cloaks of dust. In contrast, blue tones indicate stars that are older and have shed most of their gas and dust.
Mid-infrared light also details dense regions of gas and dust. The red region toward the top, which forms a delicate V shape, is where the dust is both diffuse and cooler. And although it may seem like the scene clears toward the bottom left of this view, the darkest grey areas are where densest and coolest regions of dust lie. Notice that there are many fewer stars and no background galaxies popping into view.
Webb’s mid-infrared data will help researchers determine exactly how much dust is in this region — and what it’s made of. These details will make models of the Pillars of Creation far more precise. Over time, we will begin to understand more clearly how stars form and burst out of these dusty clouds over millions of years.
Contrast this view with Webb’s near-infrared light image.
MIRI was contributed by ESA and NASA, with the instrument designed and built by a consortium of nationally funded European Institutes (The MIRI European Consortium) in partnership with JPL and the University of Arizona.
Image Description: Semi-opaque layers of blue and grey gas and dust start at the bottom left and rise toward the top right. There are three prominent pillars. The left pillar is the largest and widest. The peaks of the second and third pillars are set off in darker shades of blue outlines. Few red stars appear within the pillars. Some blue and white stars dot the overall scene.

One of the famous Alaska Railroad trains makes their way back to Anchorage.
A seemingly calm day yet plenty of surf at Porthtowen.Unfortunately the waves were breaking as soon as they rolled which left a lot of frustrated surfers.
Thank you for viewing and any comments.
This was a view looking to the southeast from the Owachomo Bridge Overlook. While the natural bridge was initially my main focus at that location, that one lone tree seemingly in a sea of greens…well, that drew my attention and I zoomed in to bring more focus to that one area, After some initial work with color control points in Capture NX2, I used a Darken/Lighten Center CEP filter to bring out a more focused look for the final image.
A seemingly quiet view of central Edinburgh. I noticed on our trip how busy the city was, yet for some reason I have caught a view up The Mound with virtually no-one in view.
With unloading seemingly completed early a VSTP path was put in for 6D43 rather than waiting for the booked path at 18:42. However, this path only ran as far as Tyne yard where the service will presumably return to the original timings later.
The above image shows 60017 leading a lengthy rake of tanks up Bensham bank after departing from the Shell oil terminal in Jarrow. The final destination would be Lindsay Oil Refinery via a recess in Tyne yard.
60017 is on the ECML side of the cutting while the Tyne Valley line dips away on the right side of the image. The track layout is totally different on the other side of this bridge as the Tyne Valley route dives under the ECML and is no longer visible, leaving just the ECML visible from that side as seen in the image of 801229.
With seemingly nothing going on at the BKRR I headed toward North Bennington where I found Vermont Railway's RDHJ turn having arrived down from Rutland. A four unit set of power led by VTR 432 an SD70M-2 blt. Dec. 2006 as FEC 103 is at MP 2 on the B&R Sub mainline passing Whitman's Feed at left. In the foreground diverging to the right is the south leg of the wye track whose tail is the old Bennington Branch of which only the northern mile or so is used for car storage and the remainder down to the gorgeous old stone Bennington Station 4 1/2 miles away has recently been turned into a trail after decades of being out of service. Prior to 1953 the Rutland's rails continued another 53 twisting torturous miles via its aptly nicknamed Corkscrew Division to Chatham, NY and a connection with the New York Central's Harlem Line south to New York City and its east-west Boston and Albany subsidiary.

Seemingly oblivious to the slow moving GLC OSTN approaching, a pair of deer nibble on some spilled grain on the tracks. Waddling along at a low speed, it gave the deer plenty of time to eat a little more, and safely get off the tracks to let the train pass.
This hawk was seemingly trying to figure out how it could steel the prey of a Cooper's hawk (pictured previously) that had caught a dove. Large hawk with reddish brown shoulders, flanks and underwing covets and dark brown head, back and belly - they have a distinctive white patch at the base of the tail and white band at the end of the tail feathers. They feed primarily on rodents other small mammals, but also eat birds and I have seen them fight vultures of of roadside carcasses to feed on dead animals.

A seemingly unlikely duo comprised of CN 4138 and BNSF 2098 pull L583 across Rectory Street in London, and onto the Talbot Spur down to St. Thomas. It makes a little more sense knowing 2098 was on lease to CN for at least a full year by the time this photo was taken, after which CN would purchase the unit altogether. It's become one of many new-ish four-axle units to be added to the roster as of late, almost certainly to replace aging GP9's like the one pictured.
When it suddenly appeared - seemingly out of nowhere - this "Tomioka Copal-E66 75 mm F 2.8" lens really managed to poke a hole into what I considered a pretty good overview of the Tomioka/Tominon MC/Copal EXX lens family…
I knew of many different focal lengths of the E36 and E90 series and had even read of some E66 lenses before, so I kinda suspected that there could be quite a few additional ones. What I didn‘t know though was that there would be a faster one. And while it‘s not a giant difference, the additional stop of light is certainly significant enough! Compared to its E36 and E90 siblings that feaure an octagonal aperture this lens also has a lot more aperture blades, providing an almost perfectly round shape across its scale.
I wasn’t able to find out anything on this lens yet, unfortunately, but I think it‘s safe to assume, that it was made for a very similar purpose than the other EXX lenses which would make it some kind of minilab enlarging lens! In case you know anything, it would be highly appreciated if you would share it with me! I‘d really like to have some more information on what I already consider one of my favorite lenses ever!
If you‘re interested what this lens can do, please look at the album - I‘ve used it quite a lot!
Shot with a Noritsu "60-90 mm F 4.5-5.6" (enlarging) lens on a Canon EOS R5.
BNSF 4711 made a seemingly lowkey move through Toledo, OH, leading an autorack for Detroit on a snowy Christmas Eve. Here, the Q train is passing the former NYC (maybe PM) type SA searchlights at CTT26 near the Maumee River Bridge.
A seemingly discarded 1930's era Dodge Brothers 5 window sport coupe complete left in a decaying barn in NW Illlinois.The 5th window is a sunroof with a screen-I didn't know they made sunroofs in cars back then.I think the guys from ZZ Top could paint this white and be good to go....
The Dodge Brothers ranked number 2 in sales in 1920 when suddenly both brothers died that same year.In 1928,the company merged with the fledgling Chrysler Corporation. In 1938,Dodge brothers brand became simply,Dodge.Part of Dodge's new marketing campaign harkens back to the Dodge Brothers era and their interest in producing performance cars.
I'm in the process of finding out whether this beauty is truly forgotten,but I do know, I'll never forget it....
A link to what this beauty COULD look like(Thanks Curt!)...
Only a few days earlier a massive downpour had huge volumes of water coursing through Parachilna Gorge - now little remains - seemingly disappearing back into Mother Earth :)
More seemingly abandoned boats. This one named 2 Bit, had grass growing inside and the wooden thwarts were rotten, otherwise looking as though it could be restored. It was gone with the others, so I suppose no harbour fees had been paid or no owner came forward.
Shot on Kentmere 100, developed in Xtol 1+1. Camera: Mamiya C220, here with the 55mm lens, for which I do need to find a lens hood (the one that fits my 85mm and 135mm, vignettes on the 55mm).
From seemingly nowhere, spilled glowing lava like cords of orange neon-lighting. In the blackness that engulfed the night, electric heat lit flowing streams that fell into the sea, disappearing in a cloud of steam with a sizzling splash.
Two azures (seemingly the same) flying in close proximity on the same day, but two different species.
Celastrina lucia with loosely arranged wing scales, lustrous appearance and checkered hindwing fringe.
Celastrina neglecta with neat rows of scales and white hindwing fringe.
Compare the two in large view for detailed look at the wings.
View of the dorsum (open wings, not shown) would further confirm the species.
