Crotophaga ani (Smooth-billed Ani / Garrapatero)

 

The Smooth-billed Ani is a widespread resident of scrub and forest clearings from the Caribbean and Costa Rica south to Uruguay and northern Argentina; it also occurs in south Florida, although the population there has declined significantly there in recent years. Smooth-billed Anis live in small flocks and eat a variety of insects, small vertebrates and fruit.

Mimus gilvus (Tropical Mockingbird / Sinsonte tropical)

 

The Tropical Mockingbird is the neotropical counterpart to the Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottus), replacing Northern Mockingbird south of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. The two species are similar in appearance, but Tropical Mockingbird has less white in the wings, lacking the white primary coverts and white bases to the primaries of Northern Mockingbird.

I've always find blurred water fascinating. This is from a 180s exposure.

Pastels rule the evening along the La Jolla coast. Depending on atmospheric conditions, the marine layer can lay well off the coast and create a soft view like this, or overtop the shoreline and make sunset either non-existent or supremely dramatic.

 

I like the feel of this image. It is tranquility defined and takes me away from the hustle and bustle that can often define Southern California living.

 

Congrats on Explore!

This is the spillway or weir on the Glenbeulah mill pond. This was built to raise the level of the Mullet River for the grist mill that was there for decades, but no longer is in use. The caramel-colored river water gives the waterfall lovely streaks as it spills over the dam.

Thanks for stopping by with your views, favs, and comments :)

The Nabegataki waterfalls in Kumamoto prefecture, in Southern Japan. With plenty of rainfall as of late, the falls were even more impressive than usually. There were only few tourists around, which made taking pictures easier.

最近、雨が多いですから、熊本県の鍋ヶ滝の勢いは通常よりもありました。訪ねた日には、観光客はわりと少なくて、撮りやすかったです。

To smooth out the water a little on a breezy dawn I put together my Kase 6 stopper ND filter and 1.2. Grad ND filter to gain a few more seconds of exposure. It worked fairly well and intensified the dawn colours quite well too.

I love shooting construction sites when I can get close enough. I was talking to the site foreman and he let me get up on a platform next to where they were pouring concrete. I got his e-mail and sent him some pics. He told me that in all the time he had been in construction, he had never looked at it the way I do. Took that as a compliment.

I rather like these sleek Azuma units decorated in the LNER livery. And now, I can't get the song by Sade out of my head.
