Mule Deer. Teach them young to pose for the camera.
Southwest Arizona, USA.
Full frame. No crop. No post processing.
I was hoping for an astronomy session - but the weather outlook changed from "clear" to "severe storms".
Not to worry, imaging lightning strikes is my second photographic passion!

Brassy-breasted Tanager - Tangara desmaresti - Not in the best outfit... it's hard to take care of the youngsters! Summer is when the parents are taking their chicks to the feeders and teaching them how to eat alone. This is an adult - at Sítio Espinheiro Negro - Juquitiba, São Paulo.
Happy Thursday!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Tricolored Heron, Egretta tricolor. I have quite a few images of this individual, not sure how many will eventually get posted. I like the shadow on this one.
Happy Wing Wednesday!

These have appeared in the garden over the last few weeks - tiny things, about 4-6 mm across on average.
"These odd and fascinating little fungi look for all the world like tiny birds' nests. The fruiting bodies form little cuplike nests which contain spore-filled eggs. The nests are called "peridia" ("peridium" in the singular), and serve as splash cups; when raindrops strike the nest, the eggs (called "periodoles") are projected into the air, where they latch onto twigs, branches, leaves, and so on. What exactly happens next is not completely clear, but eventually the spores are dispersed from the egg. They then germinate and create mycelia, which eventually hook up with other mycelia and produce more fruiting bodies." - www.mushroomexpert.com/birdsnests.html

I get pretty lazy about shooting lightning especially after days I don't see any tornadoes, but this storm put on a nice show of CGs and anvil crawlers.
I wonder what the view of this CG strike was like from the Ambassador Bridge, and is this potentially the first international lightning strike on Flickr? And yes that is my passenger window in the bottom of the frame. I had my tripod set up on my passenger seat to keep my camera out of the rain.
Windsor, Ontario/Detroit, Michigan
Still in its former Colas Rail livery, 60096 throbs pass Hincaster working a specially timed 6Z19 Tuebrook - Shap Harrisons stone empties. This train normally runs to Shap and back again in the night, but due to strike action, it was given a special daytime path.

The egret stood very still for several minutes before it made this strike. See the result in the next photo.

So the funny thing is I chased a Logger Strike around the park for about 3 months trying to get a good shot. I chased him so much that it occured to be I was most likely stressing him out. So I decieded that I should just give up. A couple days ago when I was out trying to photograph Manatees, guess who came to see me.
Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Den Haag, Foto museum, Chris Killip exhibition (uncut)
Christopher David Killip (1946 – 2020) was a Manx documentary photographer who also worked at Harvard University from 1991 to 2017, as a Professor of Visual and Environmental Studies.
He was influenced by HCB (Henry Cartier Bresson) and is known for his dramatic black-and-white images of people and (post-) industrial places, especially of Tyneside during the 80s, the austere Thatcherian era - the dark times of economic recession, mass unemployment, miner strikes and other civil unrest.
The 80s were also the years of new wave music. Some of Killip’s images made me remember the cover of the pivotal ’ Searching for the Young Soul Rebels’ album (Dexy’s Midnight Runners). They also evocated Elvis Costello's (Declan McManus) Oliver Army’s lyrics in which he states that the only future for ‘the boys of the Mersey, the Thames and the Tyne’ lies in joining the (mercenary) army.
I dunno if Killip ever photographed in Northern Ireland, but throughout the visit, I had the nasal/hoarse, kinda snarly voice of Feargal Sharkey of the Undertones playing in my head. Check out The Undertones - When Saturday Comes.
Shot on an enjoyable and informative museum visit with Hendrik van Leeuwen.
This is number 305 of the Museum album.
