A rather common warbler found throughout the Himalayan Belt. We sighted them almost everyday much of the journey. I know now that these are endemic to the Himalayas.
These are small birds - maybe less than 10 cms and incredibly active in the roadside bushes, trees and clumps of vegetation. I love the color of these birds and they are quite agile. The birds feed on small seeds, tree insects like Spiders, caterpillars and berries maybe. We never saw them on the ground anytime and most of the time were shooting almost 70-80 deg upwards. Except onetime when we were overlooking a valley and got this shot!
Thanks in advance for your views, faves and feedback if any.

Its time for them to bloom, this year it has many arms with cluster of flowers, this is one plant that does okay without help or water,
the simple morning dew it keeps it alive.
The Ana Kai Tangata cave is of note because in the back left wall cave paintings depicting birds, mainly manutaras, can be seen. The paintings were drawn using natural earth pigments and animal fat, but the high humidity of the cave has harmed them almost to the point of erasing them.
Some interesting facts about the Black-Necked stilt:
They feed in both salt and fresh water on half webbed feet that allow them to swim, although they rarely do.
They have the second-longest legs in proportion to their bodies of any bird, exceeded only by flamingos.

I really like shooting kitchen things .It is always great to get that different perspective.

I layered all 3 images together, then I put the image of the eagle in the rain droplets. Just could not bring myself to turn them upside down ;)
I finally got to see them, and they were sending out love :)
(I've now replaced this photo with the original as I've been feeling unsure about having cloned out 9 starlings to 'neaten' the heart!! Cloned version now down in comments)

During August and September, we observed 4 juvenile Piping Plovers in the same general area of the beach. They were usually in the tire tracks or up in the dunes on the dry sand. Nice images but I prefer my shorebirds in the surf or on the wet sand. It was late in the afternoon with about 90 minutes of light left when we came upon our 4 friends. Were where they? In the tire tracks of course. We had to make a decision. Do we wait and hope that the birds move to the water or continue on our way and hope to find something else to work with. We decided to give them 15 minutes. Boy am I glad we waited. They did indeed head to the water and were outrageously cooperative. They made up for all the hours we patiently waited over the summer. We took tons of images but this was my favorite.

Call them flyover states, the sticks, rural, back of beyond, whatever you wish, but places like this are the heartbeat of America. In Wisconsin.
There are spots that are obviously only intended to attract photographers. This is one of them, the cypresses of San Quirico d'Orcia. Two small groups of trees on green hills. Actually nothing special for a landscape photographer as it was created by humans. And yet, as you can see, it works.
The idea of having this image as a screen background was just too tempting. Ok, I wouldn't come here especially for sunrise, but for a short detour I found the result very successful. Above all, I think I was really lucky with the clouds. Without them, the photo wouldn't look nearly as good.
And although there are basically only a few trees in a meadow, visitors could actually be seen here all day long.
By the way, I've been here twice, to be exact, as I forgot my sunglasses the first time. In case anyone is interested in that detail, I found them again.
Es gibt so Spots die sind offensichtlich nur dafür gedacht Fotografen anzulocken. Dies hier ist einer davon, die Zypressen von San Quirico d'Orcia. Zwei kleine Baumgruppen auf grünen Hügeln. Eigentlich nichts Besonderes für einen Landschaftsfotografen, da es von Menschen angelegt wurde. Und doch, wie Ihr sehen könnt, es funktioniert.
Die Idee dieses Bild als Bilschirmhintergrund zu haben, war einfach zu verlockend. Ok, zum Sonnaufgang würde ich jetzt nicht extra hier her kommen, doch für einen kurzen Abstecher fand ich das Ergebnis sehr gelungen. Vor allem finde ich, dass ich mit den Wolken richtig Glück gehabt habe. Ohne die würde das Foto nicht ansatzweise so gut wirken.
Und obwohl es im Grund ja nur ein paar Bäume auf einer Wiese sind, so waren hier eigentlich den ganzen Tag über Besucher zu sehen.
Ich war übrigens, um genau zu sein, zweimal hier, da ich beim ersten Mal meine Sonnenbrille liegen gelassen hatte. Ich habe sie, falls dieses Detail jemanden interessiert, auch wieder gefunden.

She turned to chapter thirteen of her story,
Her favorite chapter of them all,
A guardian angel so unique,
Hardly ever spoken about,
Your memories are what she guards,
Deciding when it was right to shelve some, shove some in drawers or bring out some in tsunami waves,
She is the culprit who releases butterflies in your stomach,
Sometime she is mischievous,
Sometimes she can be cruel,
But most of the time she is sincere,
Memories can be fragile,
If shaken, it can shatter and break,
Time adds more and more,
But also takes away what it gave,
It's difficult to puzzle the pieces back together,
There are things you need to remember to be able to forget...
Friends, you contact them after the big fights many times, always look after you in the back and you do the same way, argue with you, happy with you, even cry with you.
luckily maybe I have real friends fewer than five fingers, not toes :).
have a great weekend and stay well, everyone. 😊😊
At home it is raining and I am sitting next to the oven. 9°C today, what a summer mid of August. The nice thing as a photographer is the ability to capture beautiful moments in life and adapt them to what the feeling needs. This result is exactly my dreamscape I need in this moment...makes me feel good...

As I age in the world it will rise and spread,
and be for this place horizon
and orison, the voice of its winds.
I have made myself a dream to dream
of its rising, that has gentled my nights.
Let me desire and wish well the life
these trees may live when I
no longer rise in the mornings
to be pleased with the green of them
shining, and their shadows on the ground,
and the sound of the wind in them.

Early start at Fingeringhoe, Nightingales were singing which seemed everywhere, luckily this one popped its head out the brush for me. Never saw another one but could hear them everywhere 😁
Apparently, Larks like the summer and warm temps here in Jordan; and I'm pleased and happy they do. They are certainly great subjects... hopping up onto stones and boulders in the sun, they seem unconcerned with the kestrals and buzzards that are always patrolling above them, who I must say also seem more interested in doves and feral pigeons.
Another warm morning, fantastic up and down walking among the pines and olive trees in and around the edge of the forest reserve. The 400 mm is almost one Kg (2+ lbs) heavier than the 300 mm... still working on handheld technique with it... plus walking is very deliberate on up and downhill scree and loose soil... can't drop or land on top of this! :-)
Shout out to the Jordan Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN) for their great work in the protected areas of Jordan and also Mr. Mohammad Hammad and Mr. Ali Hasan at SixT for always finding me the compact SUV I need to get around on the weekends in back-country Jordan... :-)
I have developed a deep respect for animals. I consider them fellow living creatures with certain rights that should not be violated any more than those of humans :-)

What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand?
Bet'cha on land they understand
Bet they don't reprimand their daughters
Bright young women, sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand
And ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions and get some answers
What's a fire and why does it, what's the word?
Burn?
When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love, love to explore that shore up above?
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world

The black skimmer was photographed resting on a sandbar along the Cuiaba River. There were about six of them there when this image was taken. Within minutes more skimmers were circling above getting ready to land.
The black skimmer (Rynchops niger) is a tern-like seabird, one of three very similar birds species in the skimmer family. It breeds in North and South America. Northern populations winter in the warmer waters of the Caribbean and the tropical and subtropical Pacific coasts, but the South American races make only shorter movements in response to annual floods which extend their feeding areas in the river shallows.
Skimmers have a light graceful flight, with steady beats of their long wings. They feed usually in large flocks, flying low over the water surface with the lower mandible skimming the water (in order of importance) for small fish, insects, crustaceans and molluscs caught by touch by day or especially at night.
The black skimmer breeds in loose groups on sandbanks and sandy beaches in the Americas, the three to seven heavily dark-blotched buff or bluish eggs being incubated by both the male and female. The chicks leave the nest as soon as they hatch and lie inconspicuously in the nest depression or "scrape" where they are shaded from high temperatures by the parents. They may dig their own depressions in the sand at times. Parents feed the young almost exclusively during the day with almost no feeding occurring at night, due to the entire population of adults sometimes departing the colony to forage.
