The golden autumn is my favorite season. Even if it's raining. But there's a sunshine and I just want to stop and stare at all this beauty, contemplate the colors and leaf fall around.
Another picture from the morning city park, HDR, Zenith MC Zenitar-C Canon 16 mm F/2.8 Fisheye.
Thank you for all the comments and favs, my friends.
Everybody likes autumn. Bright colours, nice smells and beautiful light. To enjoy it in a full range I should go pretty far, to the places like this. And this is a small problem for me. My inner photographer calls to go make photos. And another me says - stop and stare. Especially when you see a special place for that:-)
The photo from one of the most scenic locations in my region. Small Nemda river surrounded by autumn forests one frosty early morning (about -5 Celcius).
Thank you for all the comments and faves, my friends.
This was my first time using my new 2x TC, and the results were iffy, as I hand hold most of my shots (and most of the time my heart rate is up when I find this guy). This was the sharpest frame of the session, as the sun broke through the clouds temporarily.
Looking forward to using it with a mono or tripod in the future.
Diese Stare bleiben wohl auch über Winter hier, ein anderer Teil ist schon auf dem Weg in den Süden.
These starlings stay here also during winter, another part is already on the way to the south.
This town is colder now
I think it's sick of us
It's time to make our move
I'm shakin' off the rust
I've got my heart set on anywhere but here
I'm staring down myself, counting up the years
Steady hands just take the wheel
Every glance is killing me
Time to make one last appeal for the life I lead
Stop and stare
I think I'm moving, but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, can you see what I see
They're tryin' to come back, all my senses push
Untie the weight tags I never thought I could
Steady feet don't fail me now,
I'm gonna run till you can't walk
But something pulls my focus out, and I'm standing down.
Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone get scared
But I've become what I can't be
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, you don't need
Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone get scared
But I've become what I can't be
Oh, do you see what I see.
Yellow-shouldered Ladybird (Apolinus lividigaster)
Seen on the Jade Plant today, it was busy scuttling around but finally stopped to stare at me.
Happy Wing Wednesday!
Her direct stare probed, as if the story of my life were written in my eyes in a few succinct lines that she could read

Cape buffalo, also called African buffalo, the largest and most formidable of Africa’s wild bovids (family Bovidae) and a familiar sight to visitors of African parks and reserves. The Cape buffalo is the only member of the buffalo and cattle tribe (Bovini) that occurs naturally in Africa.
Common Buzzard / Mäusebussard (Buteo buteo)
Had this handsome Buzzard staring at me head on for a few seconds before the characteristic flee. I assume the unusual level of inquisition was due to his age!
'Stare Down'
The fox stares her amber glare,
Over a vulpine grin,
Wary ears twitching for sound.
Lavish fur
Scorns winter’s worst and
Proclaims prowess over prey.
Nose aquiver with the tang
Of the next mouse.
She sits briefly then
Fast feet fly,
White tipped tail flashes
The vixen!
Delicate paw prints,
Mark her interlude
In the undergrowth.

My back yard ... she has become a regular visitor. I have a composition and pose in mind but she is frustratingly uncooperative ... her modelling career is in jeopardy if she doesn't follow the photographer's directions more enthusiastically. :)
It was early morning and not a lot of light to work with, hence, the high ISO and the 'noise' that goes along with it.

Trying to get a better angle this Osprey watches me intently as I circle the pole it was perched on.
A female Cardinal stares at me intently watching every move I made. I suppose we were in somewhat of a stare down, she was still perched there long after I left.
This Green Heron popped up in front of me in a mangrove swamp. No cares about my presence, the heron just went about it's business.
Green herons are commonly found in and around various aquatic habitats, particularly those with abundant vegetation. They prefer areas like marshes, ponds, streams, and the edges of lakes and reservoirs, often seeking out areas with trees or shrubs for nesting. Green herons are also found in coastal areas, including estuaries and mangrove nurseries.
That last mention is where this heron was located.
