A lovely pheasant in a place where hiding wasn't really an option as I drove by this field. Backed the car up and took the shot out the window and ended up with a pretty cool photo.

If there was one standout bird from my recent trip to Sax-Zim Bog, it was definitely this male White-winged Crossbill. Crossbills have specially designed bills that help them pry open cones and get to the seeds inside. I have never been this close to one for such a long period of time. I was in awe as my two friends and I watched this bird at eye-level, plucking tamarack cones and ripping them apart, while paying no mind to us whatsoever. It was magical to observe such a unique and beautiful bird so closely, especially since they are generally seen near the tops of tall spruce trees. They also tend to stay in flocks and so I think my friend was right in his assessment that this particular bird seemed to have been separated from his flock. St. Louis County, MN 02/01/22

One evening, whilst out for a walk, with my Nikon D3x camera and Nikon 300mm f/4.0 lens attached, I came across this landscape.
Oftentimes, I will take only one fixed focal length lens and look for photographic opportunities that will suit that one particular lens. Of course, I will come across scenes that I'd wished I brought an additional or different lens.
One excellent feature of the Nikon 300mm f/4.0D is the creamy Bokeh that allows a photographer to separate the subject from the background, as in this photo.
I took five photos over the span of two minutes, observing the tree being illuminated by the setting Sun.
I must admit, that I wish I bothered to carry my tripod with me.

The best skylines in the world have iconic buildings that make them instantly recognizable. New York is obviously one of the best, and the skyline has no shortage of standout landmarks. At the time of its completion, the Chrysler Building was the tallest in the world, but it held that title for less than a year until April of 1931 when the Empire State Building opened and took the position of worlds tallest.
Some trees just stand out - this one barely surviving and covered in moss and then a layer of snow did to me yesterday while wandering along the shores of the Koksilah River - Vancouver Island, BC

A lone deciduous tree has changed its foliage colours for the season, while the rest coniferous trees remain stubbornly green.
With its standout Italian styling, British craftsmanship and American V8 power, the Jensen Interceptor had a statement like few other cars. Loved equally by celebrities and TV action men, the glamorous Interceptor has left a lasting impression in our motoring memories.
Launched in 1966, the handsome design by Touring of Milan challenged Aston Martin while the V8 matched American muscle cars for speed. The hand-built, fast-back body is elegant and practical with its signature wrap-around rear screen which lifts like a modern hatchback revealing a large boot. Inside the luxury continued with leather seats, Wilton carpets, electric windows and air conditioning.
By the early 1970s cheaper competitors from Jaguar and the rising fuel costs meant a car consuming 10 mpg was out of step with the era. Jensen ceased production of the Interceptor in 1976, but left behind beautiful, unforgettable cars.
This 1973 Jensen Interceptor Mark III, XBY251M, is on display in the Haynes Motor Museum in Somerset.
