I could have titled this, "If only...." As in, if only he had posed so nicely on the branch of a tree instead of the arm of a feeder. Still, I delighted in seeing this rose-breasted grosbeak as he visited again and again yesterday afternoon, sometimes sitting on the arm that holds the hummingbird feeder as he waited his turn on the platform feeder. Once on the platform feeder, this bird was no pushover and held is own against the doves and blue jays. Must be the beak!
Titled after J.S. Bach's most famous piece for pipe organ. I was inspired to do this particular piece after accidentally coming across a very powerful You Tube video of a performance of "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" by a unique orchestra. "Symphonity". Said orchestra, is comprised of 12 electric guitarists and two bass players only. They cover classical pieces, including "The William Tell Overture" and the overture to "The Barber of Seville". But this performance of the Bach organ piece is particularly suited to the dynamics and timbral qualities of a guitar orchestra. Truly a very impressive thing to witness.

As is titled, this is Beaver Creek. It runs through the edge of Evans-Bosshard Park in Sparta, Wisconsin. I love the snow, trees, and reflection in the creek. It just made for a pretty shot, I thought! Hope you enjoy!

Would have titled "Message in a bottle" by The Police but chose this Arctic Monkeys' song instead. Spotify just rounded-up my most played songs for 2020 and "Do I wanna know?" was my number 1 song. Not even surprised as i play this everyday since last April..at the office, in the car, while jogging 😊
Titled because it was taken as the Sun went down that day, but also because it has been mostly overcast since. The Sun will be back, and I have have more to show from the West. Just taking a little break with winter leaves on Groundhog Day.

I titled the photo "Bird to Fly. Human to Dream". With this image I wanted to share what, to my mind, makes every living being specific: birds are the ones who are able to fly, humans are the ones who are able to dream. On the photo, the birds are hurrying somewhere about their business. And the man is sitting motionless on the pier, looking into the distance of the ocean and dreaming about something of his own. I find something philosophical in this scene.
Originally titled "Wir schlafen nicht" (in German) this book by the author Kathrin Röggla wasn't very memorable for me. Still I can appreciate what she tried to do in her book and the title inspired me to create this image.
One of my attempts at the "Smile on Saturday" theme "portray a book title".
Shot with an Ilex "Oscillo-Paragon 88 mm f/1.4" on a Canon EOS R5.
Titled because I had fun changing a plain white house ornament to this. Also works out for my 100x 2023

Westminster Abbey, formally titled the Collegiate Church of St Peter at Westminster, is a large, mainly Gothic abbey church in the City of Westminster, London, just to the west of the Palace of Westminster. It is one of the United Kingdom's most notable religious buildings and the traditional place of coronation and burial site for English and, later, British monarchs. Between 1540 and 1556, the abbey had the status of a cathedral. Since 1560, however, the building is no longer an abbey nor a cathedral, having instead the status of a Church of England "Royal Peculiar"—a church responsible directly to the sovereign. The building itself is the original abbey church.
I titled this picture puzzling because I find it curious that the imprint of the vintage camera on the paper appears to be so much smaller than the stamp that produced it, even though the stamp was placed on the paper just behind the imprint. It's apparently a matter of perspective, and the angle from which the photo was taken.

Titled this because I did not see the reflections of the windows in the face of the clock when shooting. This was shot on Kent Street AKA the main street in Lindsay, Ontario, Canada
Shot taken for Window Wednesdays.
Titled because all though shot in August, it was not a very august day weather wise, heavily overcast and showery, the water looked almost malevolant... so i shot purposely dark to accentuate this aspect.
Carr Mill Dam is located north of St Helens town centre in Merseyside. It is the county's largest body of inland water, and offers lakeside trails and walks, as well as national competitive powerboating and angling events. It is home of Lancashire Powerboat Racing Club established in 1923 where club, national and international powerboat racing takes place.
Once just a mill pond built to power Carr’s Mill, this was expanded in the 1750s to provide water to the Sankey Navigation, (Sankey Canal), about a mile away. The lake is a favourite with anglers and water sports enthusiasts. It is also a great place for birdwatchers.
Carr Mill Dam
The name Carr Mill traditionally came from the Norse word 'Carr' meaning marsh or fen. The dam is shown on the 17th century Yates map. A corn mill was operating there in the 19th century as it is visible on the first Ordnance survey map of the area, the dam having been doubled in size. There is no record of anyone named Carr having a mill there. This area was part of Lord Gerard's estate,and the dam was further enlarged by the London and North Western Railway during development of the railway system and cast iron marker posts are still visible at two points around the dam.
Carr Mill Dam is also the location of St. Helens' only ancient woodland running alongside the railway line.

I took this plant inside the house... and that colorful background is my pool table cue rack with the pool balls in it...
I'll catch up later tonight on your stream guys... just going out and have dinner first at a friend's house... :)
DUO is lead by German-born architect Ole Scheeren, whose best known for his work with OMA on Beijing’s CCTV headquarters.
Titled ‘DUO’, the twin towers are not intended to be conceived as autonomous objects, but defined by the spaces they create around them. Their curved facades engages the city and frames a “new civic nucleus” at its base, while featuring premium offices, a five-star hotel, 660 high-end residential units and signature retail space.
The design for DUO subtracts circular carvings from the allowable building volumes in a series of concave movements that generate urban spaces – a kind of “urban poché” that co-opts adjacent buildings and symbiotically inscribes the two towers into their context.*

Titled this cold reflections due to the fact that there is snow in the bottom right. This day was the best day I've had at Loch Leven, so serene and so calm. Perfect photo conditions me thinks.
On a recent trip down the coast this rather large sculpture titled 'Passage' located on the Lorne foreshore caught our eye . . . for just $75,000 it can be yours!
Artist: Matthew Harding
Medium: Steel
Matthew Harding says of Passage: ‘My work often contains apertures and voids; portals that partially dissolve the landscape; windows for our fertile imagination’
Titled "八仙過海", that is, Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, by Bagua Artist Association.
"The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea tells that a god invites the Eight Immortals to take part in a party and appreciate peonies. On the way back, the Dragon King of the East Sea stops them and both sides begin in a furious dispute. At last, the Eight Immortals and their friends take out their talismans and win" (Chinaculture dot org).
What fun it is to walk in the city and discover many murals. I was searching for another one but on my way I found that one titled Ultraviolet from Drew Young.
Quel plaisir de se promener dans la ville et de découvrir de nombreuses fresques murales. J'en cherchais une autre, mais en chemin, j'ai trouvé celle-ci intitulée Ultraviolet crée par Drew Young en 2019.
Titled "How long had I been gone? How long had I been back? Did it matter?", this series is made up of ten sets of image and text. Each set expresses the 'moment' in which I explore a place in a photograph and then two written descriptions: one by me, considering my mental health, thoughts and feelings, and one by (best friend and accompanying adventurer) Michael with his version of events. The series tracks how photography has changed my interactions with the world, from being isolated to being able to get out and explore.
You can see a few examples of how it was presented here:
Tim van Zundert - How long had I been gone?
Maybe freedom from anxiety can lead to overconfidence though. If people aren't anywhere to be seen, why not do whatever you want and go wherever you want? I stepped out into the A27 and wondered if that gave me some sort of innate strength.

Titled in honour of Michael Buble who played in our neck of the woods last night. Bare Island, Waimarama beach, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand
I titled this photo 'Wet sunset' because of the trees that have 'wet feet'. Though it hasn't rained today, it has rained a lot over the past weeks, so the ditches and pools in this nature reserve are fuller than usual. Luckily, pollard willows can survive wet conditions.
This amazing art installation titled "Non-Sign II" greets travelers as they use the Blaine Border Crossing on Interstate 5 to enter the United States from Canada. Was told by the border guard it's meant to showcase "nature" as the thing we should all be focusing on. Nice!
From a distance, my initial reaction was, "what the heck am I looking at!?!" :- )

For a while now, I've been contributing photos to Google Maps.
It's a nice diversion from Charger only photos and a fun outlet for creativity. Although I haven't made it a priority to include my Charger in the photos, somehow the car has found its way into a few of my Spokane photos (imagine that).
A number of my photos have had over half a million views each which is pretty neat. It depends greatly on the location or business you add the photo to and also who's searching Google. I can't control it so I just enjoy it when one goes crazy. So, in no particular order, here are some of the photos I've uploaded to Google Maps over the last two years.
Taken with my cell phone.
(The best camera you have is the one you are carrying.)
The open window of the small factory was about seven feet off the ground. I couldn't even see the screen of my camera for the shot on the left. The one on the right is where my feet had been as I stood on tiptoes.

If inhabiting the world at night taught me that I could stand in the middle of roads at a whim, why not go to places you just shouldn't? Places that are closed off to the public after dark aren't necessarily closed to those who find their way in. At Cowdray Ruins, we wandered the grounds as if we had every right to be there.
Kayla yanked Adrienne behind a dumpster a few yards from the door, pressing her back against the cold metal as she scanned the alley. It was the same narrow passage they’d jumped to upon arriving at the restaurant.
“What was that about?” Adrienne murmured, her voice slightly unsteady. “I was just starting to feel the wine.”
Kayla held up a finger to her lips, a quiet shhh escaping her.
Just then, the side door flew open, and two men stepped into the alley. Their eyes swept up and down the dimly lit corridor.
“They’re not out here. Check the restroom, search the place!” one ordered.
A second voice murmured, “They may have jumped.”
The man in the gray suit slipped back inside, but the one in black remained, his gaze fixed on the shadows.
Kayla and Adrienne were on high alert. He was one of them. Without hesitation, they shifted between dimensions, peering at him through the haze of the veil.
“I saw our waiter speaking to the man in gray,” Kayla whispered. “They were watching us. I knew something was off.”
Adrienne frowned. “How did the waiter know who we were?”
“He’s human, so I’m not sure. But if the reptiles in this timeline have started mixing their DNA with humans, it’s possible he was controlled—maybe even able to sense us. If that’s the case, we didn’t detect him at all. That’s what worries me.”
The man in the black suit prowled the alley, nostrils flaring.
Then, in a deep, guttural voice thick with mucus, he snarled, “I smell you. You are here.”
In a blink, his form twisted, shifting into something monstrous. Scales rippled across his skin, his mouth stretching wide to reveal rows of jagged teeth dripping with spittle. A primal scream erupted from his throat, reverberating through the alley. He slashed the air with his talons ripping long claw marks in the steel dumpster.
Adrienne stiffened in horror. Even with the dimensional barrier protecting them, he felt terrifyingly close. She fought to suppress her own scream.
Kayla had seen this transformation before. She knew the effect it would have on Adrienne and instinctively wrapped her arm around her.
Then, as suddenly as he had changed, the reptile snapped back to his human disguise and vanished inside.
