These concrete structures, known as groynes, are designed to calm the surge of water during very high tides.

these are clouds.

 

These yucca plants popped against an early evening sky as the low sun streaked across them.

Taken at White Sands, NP in New Mexico.

These very old catacombs in Salzburg are in the stone cliff of the Festungberg mountain, rather than underground.

These 3 floral postings were taken in my son's garden, actually the last one done in front of his house, planted by the town.

These boots reminded me of go go boots back in the day ☮

Another charity shop image :-)

Chevalier gambette - Tringa totanus - Common Redshank

These unusual ice formations formed along a frozen river shelf reminded me of fancy chess pieces. That's one game I could never master - checkers was more my style.

These A-holes again.

These two photographs are a good way to show part of a walk I take. About 5 minutes walk from home is a small gate into the field, if you follow the fence on the far left to the top of the field, the gate can be seen just to the right. From there I walk alongside the hedge to another gate, under trees.

These donuts are mini erasers :-)

 

These people were hogging the dragon head rock I was aiming to capture, instead of waiting for them to leave, I might as well snap a photo of them.

Millennium Park in Chicago

These are some of the Greek and Roman amphorae from the 3rd and 2nd century B.C.; they were recovered from the bottom of the sea around the island of Lipari (Aeolian Islands north of Sicily). They have been most beautifully exhibited in the Museo Bernabo Brea in Lipari. Clearly, transport across the Mediterranean was dangerous, but, on the other hand, the contents of these containers (wine, olive oil, marinade) must tell us that life in antiquity had most attractive sides. There was luxury, for some.

These clouds look like they’re stacked on top of each other.

These icicles are hanging from my porch roof.

These Eurasian Stone-curlews are so difficult to spot as they blend in so well with their surroundings.

 

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.

These corellas and their shenanigans always make me smile! Hope it makes you smile too :)

These chandeliers are quite spectacular. Take time to notice them the next time you pass through what used to be the very grand waiting room at Grand Central.

When the eyes are the center of attention.

Well, these building may not be the first to catch the eye along Billionaire Row just south of Central Park but I couldn't resist the composition. I thought it interesting to find window A/C units and an old school water tank in real estate that runs way into the millions if not billions. A lot was being prepared for another skyscraper.

 

Technical Note: The perspective of this image drove me crazy, I couldn't figure out why the bottom of the center-right plane of the building looked a bit off (pulled in) even though the vertical lines are pretty straight. I thought it might have something to do with straightening the perspective or perhaps some lens distortion going on. What I concluded after plenty of study is it's a bit of an optical illusion with the four rows of lower windows having a different horizontal spacing than the top four rows! The result is that they tend to "pull" the image to the right a bit, IMO. Anyway, it was fun trying to figure this out and I was relieved that I didn't have to blame my 24-70. I shot this at 55mm which is a focal length I don't use too often for buildings. That being said, I'll have to run a few field tests next time I'm around tall buildings to confirm my hypothesis.

 

New York City: 57th St.looking north between 6th and 7th Ave.

These little ducks are starting to show up on the local ponds as the spring waterfowl migration gets underway.

These only bloom in May in San Diego. Very short bloom period but their color is brilliant! I look forward to this time of year to see their bright bluish-purple flowers.

These sculptures are part of the over 150 sculptures in Borrego Springs, CA. The scorpion is almost twelve feet tall. I certainly am glad they don't come this large in real life!

The answer is in the next photo.

Have a great day and Happy June!!!!

These trees are the leftover of the past but this is the landscape with lots of water. moors I think is more in fact the right name, anyway they are very welcome place of birds, crows,commerant and herons.

These lovely gardens are fairly central in Paris and easy walking from many areas. this is The Paalce of Luxembourg.

These are Oats and they have all been harvested now.

Have a great weekend.

These are edible.....You see, the ones on the right, when they dried up, you can cook them with soup, meat and so on. I do have them in my home now.

 

These two male Ring-necked ducks were seen at Heather Farm Pond in Walnut Creek, California

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

These days at home are really demanding, like you can see on Eddie´s gestures....Thx, Udo.

These fellows are lounging on a bench in the outdoor Goldwell Museum near the Rhyolite ghost town near Death Valley. I tried to learn about this sculpture and was unable to find any information.

 

Happy Bench Monday!

These are not in my garden but I was captivated by the way their colour was so vibrant.

These are the last two (for the time being) from Holywell Bay. I must have 50 or so scenes at different shutter speeds and angles that make similar scenes so different.
