A view across the river from Wilson Point Park that zooms in on the shore of Hawthorne ... here in Maryland.
Pretty blue hour as the sunset ended and the lights came on there along the shoreline. Liked this here with the Spring greens filling the trees too.
Captured with the 6 STOP (64ND) Hoya filter.

Nice start of the day with this sunrise and a cloudy sky. Shot taken at the Rietplas in Houten (The Netherlands). It's always a surprise to have such a sky. Especially at the start of a day.

Smooth-billed Ani is one of three species in the genus Crotophaga, which falls within the Cuckoos family. Anis are dark-coloured birds with a distinctive ridged bill, with different appearance in the three species. For comparison, see this image of a Groove-billed Ani (C. sulcirostris) www.flickr.com/photos/luminouscompositions/50701319097/in...
This Smooth-billed Ani was observed in an agricultural area near the city of Guapimirim in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil.

Occasionally i get to practice the art of smooth water. I only own one ND filter and it only fits one lens...so sometime i experiment with an open shutter speed and fudging the the F-stop if the day is gray, or dismal or foggy! This was one of those days last winter that was not too abysmally cold and i actually set foot out of the house!!
I am heading out for a walk before the rains come...maybe we will get enough rain to actually have some moving water here...it has been so dry that the trees are stressing and we still have to water the mums. the pond is so low that i think it is maybe ankle deep right now and i wonder if the fish are still in there!
Hope you all have a speedy and mellow Tuesday! Heading out before the storms!

As mentioned in an earlier posting, Hubbard Pond and its surroundings are under consideration as the site for a heavy industrial type facility by the Regents of the University of Michigan. If the project goes forward, another piece of the critical natural habitat necessary to sustain these and other vulnerable creatures will be lost forever.
UPDATE: In a 12 March 2016 letter, the President of the University of Michigan indicates the proposed heavy industrial project for this site has been "paused". Plus, all applications for various construction permits are suspended and no construction contracts have been awarded.
While this turn of events appears positive, all it takes is will and a whim to re-activate the project. Until the final determination is STOP, the possibility of this easily preventable man-made disaster remains. Now is the time to stand-up. Mother Nature needs your voice.

You do not need to be a resident of the affected neighborhood to sign the petition to STOP this project. Your help will be greatly appreciated. See...
