Fall colors tend to linger into November and even early December where I live. This is my farewell to Fall

MANY THANKS FOR YOUR VISITS, COMMENTS AND FAVES
THEY ARE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!
At home I tend to photograph my own birds in flight, but they're not really allowed to head outside into the open air, so I always end up with home shoots which are not usually that interesting to look at.
This shot in particular was captured at Huntstanton, England over Easter Bank Holiday weekend.
These guys fly around way too quickly and when you really want to take a photo of them they just go out of frame and head somewhere else, typical!
We had to throw some bait out in order to get them nearer to us, but camera out and heads covered, it was time to point and shoot.
What I really like about this shot is the action of all the front three birds, landing in succession to one another.
Thanks for viewing!
All views, comments, feedback and favourites are greatly appreciated.
Blue Tits tend to be quite sedentary birds, staying close to where they hatched as chicks, but some individuals do migrate, so the Blue Tits you see in winter might have hatched or bred elsewhere in northern Europe. Winter is a tough time for many species and Blue Tits are no exception. Blue Tits in urban settings rely heavily on food provided in people's gardens at this time, and may also use nest boxes in winter for shelter, especially during the night
Bison calves tend to be born from late March through May and are orange-red, earning them the nickname “red dogs.” Calves change to a dark brown within a few months. Bison calves stay with their mother for about a year. This poor calf was born in the late fall and faced winter conditions at a young age without his mother. Regrettably, he must fend for himself as orphaned calves are not accepted by other bison cows.
I was unaware that weak claves were forced from the herd. Perhaps this is an exception as the rest of the herd paid little attention to the orphaned calf. However, one young cow took exception and brutally assaulted the calf. The pillorying of this weak, injured orphaned calf was horrible. The young cow forced him away from the herd.
We have some wonderful rough seas on the South coast of the UK...people tend to forget the power behind the waves. The temptation is always to get as close as possible to that wonderful raw energy...especially when you have a camera in your hands!!
“Davanti a una scarpiera la diversificazione dei sessi esplode in tutta la sua evidenza. E le sfumature che distinguono un Grey da un Gigio sono infinite. Il pover’uomo non può capire che, per esempio, se una dice «stivali», dice contemporaneamente: con tacco alto, con tacco basso, con la zeppa, a tronchetto, sopra il ginocchio, sportivi, eleganti, classici, trendy, e poi declina tutto questo per almeno una decina di colori e di materiali diversi. Per lui esistono solo due tipi di stivali: quelli comodi e quelli da zoccola. E le ballerine? Chi glielo va a spiegare, al Gigio, che di ballerine ce ne vogliono minimo minimo un paio per ogni colore dell’arcobaleno? E come coinvolgerlo in quell’estasi artistica che ci prende quando le rimiriamo tutte insieme, rosso, arancione, giallo, verde, azzurro, indaco e violetto?”
"It's strange. These humans tend to be fascinated with their fleshy digits. I wonder what they think to have ones not so "fragile". Maybe they would rather be eaten by the likes of me?"

Another gem of a find in the Pumping Station Grounds (I wish we were allowed to get into the grounds rather than shooting through the chain link fence)
P1690123 - Loten's Sunbird - Size - 13 cm
# 009
The Loten's sunbird, long-billed sunbird or maroon-breasted sunbird, (Cinnyris lotenius) is a sunbird endemic to peninsular India and Sri Lanka. Its long bill distinguishes it from the similar purple sunbird that is found in the same areas and also tends to hover at flowers. Like other sunbirds, it feeds on small insects and builds characteristic hanging nests.
The species is named after a colonial Dutch governor of Ceylon, Joan Gideon Loten.
DO YOU KNOW - Less than 100 Pygmy Sloths Survive.
The Pygmy Three-toed Sloth (Bradypus pygmaeus) - is one of the world's most endangered mammals, according to a detailed survey of the population, which found less than 100 sloths hanging on in their island home. (May 24, 2012).
Happy birding! 🐾

Sadly I was unable to get out with or without my camera over the weekend. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is an unpredictable beast that hijacks your plans and life. It is a disorder that also tends towards self-blame but, in a positive step from previously, I am not blaming myself for not getting out. Small wins are just as important as the large ones.
I'll try to take some photographs in the garden this week as I prepare and plan my vegetable garden for the coming spring. No pressure upon myself to do so though. Baby steps.
Take care everyone, whatever you love to take pictures of in this world.

As a record to myself this is re-upload number 2 before appearing in your update feeds due to an ongoing Flickr issue.
Storms tend to bring lots of "stuff" up onto the beach. There were all kinds of dead crabs and mollusks and the birds were having a feast - yum!
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

Decía el escritor chino Lin Yutang que “la mitad de la belleza depende del paisaje, y la otra mitad del hombre que lo mira”, una percepción tan personal como difícil de transmitir a otras personas.
Lo saben quienes fomentan la meditación de contemplar el lento paso de las nubes, cerrar los ojos frente al mar, o los nostálgicos que se detienen bajo una cuerda con ropa tendida en un pueblo mediterráneo.
La ropa tendida suspira al mundo la intimidad de tantas familias, casas, ciudades y países.
Una de las ‘Mecas’ de la ropa tendida es Burano, cerca de Venecia. En esta pequeña y colorida isla secar la ropa es una especie de arte. De hecho, a menudo el color de la ropa coincide con el color de la pared.
I tended to the chickens at Wright-Locke Farm at dusk today, checking on their food and water, and gathering their eggs. I like this White Rock hen; she looks serious about being a good chicken.
When we are young we tend to believe that time is infinite. That there will always be a tomorrow.
However there is a time when we realise that we are finite. In my experience this happens to different people at different times in their lives, especially after some sort of illness or lost. We are not different than the leaf of a tree, a bird or any other biological entity.
In our society, death is almost a taboo. But it is there. Intrinsically, there is nothing good or bad in it. We have to cope with its existence and I guess, use it in our favour.
You can use death positively, as a source of motivation and its existence as a way to differentiate between what is urgent, important or banal. And think a bit about it everyday with respect but without fear.
Please don't waste your time with unnecessary stuff. Fight every day for your dreams and live a life with sincerity and honour. The type of life you would like to be remembered for.
Live everyday with an ending mind. We don't know how long is left for us in this world and that should be a motive to accomplish all your dreams.

This photograph captures a moment of quiet grace, where nature and elegance converge. A swan, pristine and dignified, nestles within its carefully crafted home, its curved neck forming a poetic arc as it tends to its nest. The interplay of light and texture accentuates the soft feathers, creating a mesmerizing contrast against the earthy tones of its surroundings.
I tend to forget about my Celtfest concert photos, but I like to get back to them every now and then.

I tend to favor intense colors and contrast, and this image just begged for overprocessing. If you zoom in almost dead center, you can see a periwinkle making a track across the more prominent lines, answering the question I posed in my comment on the original version of this image. Happy Sliders Sunday, and Happy Father's Day to all Dads.
We tend to picture ballerinas a certain way in our minds, but they have many dimensions. Anastasia Tillman is a member of the Texas Ballet Theatre Company. This is one of her favorites from our shoot. Keller, Texas, USA, January 2022

We tend to take for granted the integrity of the foundation of our everyday lives. But the solid icy surface of modern civilization only runs so deep. Once in a while the cracks appear and make us enormously aware of our own vulnerability. And maybe our shared humanity as well? While there have been many trying events in my life, few have had the kind of global resonance that the current Coronavirus pandemic has. My prayers go out to all those affected personally. For the rest of us, it is an opportunity to reflect on the fragility of life and what we value most deeply.
It seems almost a lifetime now, but just a few short weeks ago I had a couple of days to explore the crazy, frozen environs of Abraham Lake in Alberta Canada. While frozen lakes are not exactly unusual in Canada (home to approx. 60% of the world's lakes, almost 100% of which will be frozen in February), Abraham Lake is quite unique among them, being a glacial runoff lake (fed by the indescribable turquoise runoff of the Canadian Rocky Mountain glaciers), a man-made lake of recent origin (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lake), and most importantly, a location that is subject to nearly continuous scouring by intense winds in the winter.
On the relatively mild days I was there, wind speeds ranged from 10-40mph, gusting even higher at times. At one point the wind managed to physically push me about 20 feet down the ice. While I was wearing ice cleats. It literally left deep groves on the ice where my boots were digging in while the wind pushed me. That is an insane level of wind force. The upside is that the wind cleans off much of the snow from the ice surface (nature’s own Zamboni) and lays bare the surprisingly varied beauty of the ice formations underneath.
The ice is of course subjected to major stresses during the winter which result in huge cracks across the surface such as those seen here. However, the ice is also remarkably thick (12-24 inches here, at a guess), and more solid than it often looked. Even more uniquely, the decaying organic material creates methane bubbles that get trapped in the ice during the winter. The layers of methane bubbles combined with the crazy lines of fractured glacial ice create a visual field almost unprecedented in its weirdness, and the incredibly discomfiting effect that has on one's own sense of preservation.
it's also a perfect metaphor for the wild fracturing occurring in the broader world as a result of COVID-19 pandemic.
I took many shots on Abraham Lake, but in some situations I found it either impossibly tedious or outright impossible to get the shot I wanted with the DSLR and a tripod (remember, 40mph winds!), and so I resorted to a lot of shots with my iPhone while lying on my belly. This is one of those. Not ideal. But it works.
A quick personal shout-out here to my good friend John Cohn. I placed a "Sam Stone" at the nearby Aurum Lodge, a great little B&B that is the perfect home base for exploring Abraham Lake. John created Sam Stones to honor the memory of his son Sam and I am honored to have a few of these in my possession. If you find this, or any other, SamStone please record your find at www.samstones.org and feel free to re-home it and keep the chain going.
Stay safe and wash your hands my friends!
The Canada Goose (Branta canadensis), sometimes called Canadian goose,[2][3] is a large species of goose with a black head and neck, white cheeks, white under its chin, and a brown body. Baby geese (goslings) are similar to ducklings and cygnets but are unique in many ways too.
Goslings are much lighter than ducklings and lack the black stripe through their eye, with overall less-defined colouration. Overall, goslings are more yellow than cygnets, which tend to be a light grey.
Goslings are also quite large with long necks and triangular bills, which contrast with the flatter bills of ducklings.
