Daily Dog Challenge: Sparkle
A little water sparkle and a sparkle in Kahn's eyes as he enjoys the water😀🐾💕💦
A dog shakes off water as he reaches the top of the ramp getting out of the Ultimate Air Dog pool. The dog and owner carefully work out their timing for this event. The dog has about a 20' run down the dock to get up to speed and the owner times his throw of a dog toy so that the dog hopefully can catch it midair over the pool. the dog is judged by the distance he leaps out into the pool. The applause of the crowd is a good indicator of style points in his jump and whether or not they actually catch the toy
Male Bearded Tit surveying the misty fen. The mist wasn't expected - and didn't lift until the Beardies had long gone, but as long as they weren't too far away it gives a lovely soft light and a bit more of a mysterious background (no pun intended!).
When the weather is bad, you will at least get something a bit different.
Beardies have a very long tail and very short wings, both designed to give them maximum manouvrability between the reed stems.
Taken in Norfolk.

This tall waterbird with its dagger-like bill can be found all across North America. Great blue herons will eat almost anything within striking distance of their long beak. While fish makes up a majority of their diet, these birds stalk everything from insects to small mammals.
These birds can be spotted around shorelines and in shallow marshes, either slowly wading through the water or waiting patiently for their prey.
Once their next meal is spotted, they will stretch out their long neck and freeze in place. When the moment is right, they strike with their blade-like bill.

A whiskered tern (chlidonias hybrida), in winter plumage, shaking out its feathers at the end of the day. Photographed in Tangalle, Sri Lanka. More at "Colin Pacitti Wildlife Photography" - www.colin-pacitti.com.
This shows how flexible tern wings are. After diving, terns shake water off as it is extra weight. Tern will rotate body 180 degrees, while wings remain in normal topside position.

This is not the Norman mentioned in the previous photo description but another very cute draft cross type horse. We caught him having a marvelous roll in the snow and is shaking the extra off here. Sorry for the tight crop, but he was quite far away and there was another horse that wasn't adding to composition so I cut him out! LOL Have a great day everyone. We are expecting snow here later on I think. :)
Hybrid mallard (cross between wild and domestic variety of mallard, Anas platyrhynchos) shaking off water after having bathed.

Sid shaking out after his well earned evening bath. For around 12 days he has been collecting food and leaving his fecal sacs on the old whirligig. While I was cleaning them off this afternoon Sid was laying on another 😆😅 We are expecting them to fledge any day now

I had to revisit this Green heron (Butorides virescens) and its feather (un)ruffling pose. I've not seen it since this one visit.

Kinetic Photograph made with one single long exposure shot, printed straight out of camera.
If you’d like to read more details about how the shot is made see below. And for more of my kinetic photographs here’s my set, "Drawing with Light"

Kinetic: Relating to, caused by, or producing motion.
These are called “Kinetic” photographs because there is motion, energy, and movement involved, specifically my and the camera’s movements.
I choose a light source and/or subject, set my camera for a long exposure (typically around 4 seconds), focus on my subject and push the shutter button. When the shutter opens I move the camera around with my hands...large, sweeping, dramatic movements. And then I will literally throw the camera several feet up into the air, most times imparting a spinning or whirling motion to it as I hurl it upward. I may throw the camera several times and also utilize hand-held motion several times in one photo. None of these are Photoshopped, layered, or a composite photo...what you see occurs in one shot, one take.
Aren’t I afraid that I will drop and break my camera? For regular followers of my photostream and this series you will know that I have already done so. This little camera has been dropped many times, and broken once when dropped on concrete outside. It still functions...not so well for regular photographs, but superbly for more kinetic work.
Couldn't resist this title. As a peahen strolled by Mr. Peacock had to strut his stuff for her by shaking his feathers. This courtship dance is called "train-rattling" and the feathers shake about 25 times per second. Very entertaining to watch indeed. For a peek at the "flip side" check out: flic.kr/p/2mifJJe
The water droplets fly as a grizzly bear shakes water off her coat, Chilko Lake, British Columbia. Of course how effective that is when she's in shoulder deep water is debatable.

This is a view of the Cuillins seen from Elgol on the Isle Of Skye looking across Loch Scavaig on quite a stormy day. I love stormy days on Skye.
Sometimes the loon looks elegant and other times comical. Here he is shaking off after diving for food.
Green Heron shaking dry after „going“ swimming. With a bit more research since my first post of a swimming heron, it is well-established that herons can and do swim (although they rarely arisen to do so) and that webbing between their middle and outer toes is thought to help them when doing so. It was definitely an interesting observation, especially as the swimming was really slow and at first I couldn‘t really figure out what the heron was doing.
I am still experimenting a bit with pictures with motion blur, trying to figure out what works and what doesn‘t. Here I am quite at the edge but wanted to share it anyway. Please don‘t hold back any feedback.
