I think this is one of my favorite images from my Yosemite trip (believe me, narrowing down my photos was a difficult job). I know this view of Yosemite is one of the most over-photographed places on earth, but the difference in this image is that I saw it with my own eyes, took the time to get there at 5am and was able to watch this glorious morning unfold.
To my fellow photographers: get up early, go outside and take it all in. Leave your camera at home if you like, just concentrate on the majesty of this earth for an hour or two!
Golden Eagle! I think I saw only one during my three decades on Canada's west coast, where the Bald Eagle rules. Here on the prairie, that order is reversed. Huge and powerful, the Golden Eagle is our local, resident King Of the Raptors, whereas the Bald Eagle visits only occasionally and is most often seen during spring or fall migration.
This Golden, swooping low overhead, is probably a juvenile, as indicated by the extensive light markings on its tail and wings, and also the gaps in its primaries where adult feathers are growing in. Because that is the extent of my knowledge, I will just tag it "immature", a good catch-all phrase for young ones (which includes subadult, the phase between juvenile and adult). Its age isn't that important to me. Every eagle is a living icon, a flying miracle; I'm in awe of them.

Think I’ll go for a ride
Take the bike out of the shed
Make a fresh start
Get out of my head
When the head spins
There is no joy

I think it is interesting how power gets put together on a big old railroad. Somehow, a pair of leasor units have been paired together for the Cedar River Local for the past 2 weeks out of Waterloo. It's pretty neat to see a couple of old ex-Soo Line SD60's paired back together again. Here, the girls sit at the roundhouse at Waterloo over the weekend. The Cedar River doesn't work over the weekend much, so the power will sit for a day or so unless needed on M338 for a kicker unit.
These Soo SD60's were in the 1st 21 units order (6000-6020), which were delivered between between August and October 1987. This bunch was returned leased, and some spent time on the INRD. Now, power short CN has them.

I was using one of those car windshieled sun blockers to reflect a little more light onto the area of my hummingbird feeder when I caught this photo. The funny thing is that, on the relfector screen is a drawing of a Bald Eagle in almost this exact pose going in for a fish. I guess this little guy is thinking of bigger things.

Very little post work done to this - The main thing being the crop and a 'very slight' lean to Indigo.
Taken along the 'Wild Atlantic Way' - Along the 'Slea Head Drive' - On the South West Coast of Ireland. Looking out to the Blasket Islands.
On this occasion it was a pretty overcast day as you can see, but I think this has helped the cause.
Beautiful drive if you ever get the chance :)
Another experiment:)
Think it came out quite cool??
They need to wash their windows:)) Lol
hope you like it?
Thanks alot for stopping by leaving comments and faves:) Much appreciated.))
Have a great sunday.)
I think this little pool is created by a small stream trying to connect to the Pine River at Breakwater Falls. As luck would have it, the same rock ledge that holds it in allowed me to get above it for this view. You can see a little of the rock underneath and I like how it blends with the reflection of the trees.
I think one of the myths that long exposures like this are capable of telling is that a place that was loud or dramatic or dynamic or tempestuous was instead calm and quiet and soothing. I like doing long exposure work quite a bit for a variety of reasons, but I admit sometimes that it bugs me just a little that the roar of the ocean and pounding of the surf are made to appear as if they were never present at all. A scene that looks calm and peaceful was anything but those things. But all photos (or photographers) tell stories. Everything we make could be (or perhaps should be) viewed as a form of fiction... or at the least of narrative. To some degree they all document something, but at the same time I think we tend to believe a bit too readily in what is presented to our eyes. In this image's case I like that the softness of a surf that was anything but placid is balanced by the rough and rugged volcanic rock. You may not be able to see the ocean's bluster in this image but you get a glimpse of its teeth at least.

Dont think just about your chance of getting infected.
Imagine that you do have the virus. ...and then change behaviour so that you are less likely to transmit it to others.
This virus needs us to to complacently interact to help it transmit. It needs us to ignore public health messaging. It needs us to not care about others that are more vulnerable than us.
Think social distancing, including children, & protecting older/vulnerable. We are going to be at this for a long time and we need to get good at it.
What happens in London over next few days will be mirrored in rest of UK in the following 14 days. We all have a role to play. ..both what we do and what we say to others.

When you think you've driven too far, keep driving another 50 miles along HWY 71 and you'll come across this old windmill on the western side of the highway. The remoteness of this relic is quite astonishing. I'm sure I'll revisit it many times again looking for that really cool shot, as I feel something is still missing on this canvas ...

I think Tinker is the most playful of all my cats. Or at least she is the one who wants to play all the time and will often bring her "toys" to you so you will play with her. I went to a cat show recently and got a few new toys for everyone and of course, as you can see, she has claimed them all for herself! She also thinks the best toys come from the shows! Happy Caturday!

I think it's safe to say I am partial to historical villages and potential they hold for still life vignettes. I am especially drawn to old bottles. Sherbrooke Village has a wonderful apothecary store full of originally packages bottles, boxes and tins.
I love the fact the bottle the image is named after says:
Chronic Weaknesses and Complaints related to Women!
I always think that when someone is born with the 'creative' gene, it often manifests itself in different fields, not necessarily ONE...
I love being creative in the kitchen, rarely make the same meal twice... just use the ingredients at hand or on offer.
Yes, we DO eat our photographic 'props' LOL, part of the 5 a day meal I made with this!
Thanx for your time and comments, greatly appreciated, M, (*_*)

Why not view the set as a slide-show?
Also I often upload more than one image at the same time, I see a tendency to only view the last uploaded...

I would think that too ..
That was the first time that lens flares showed up with the Helios,
I like this :)
Compare this Willow Warbler with the one I posted yesterday which is a normal Spring Willow Warbler. This one I found on the patch at the same time ,its the palest Willow Warbler I think ive ever seen there are 3 possibilities really, and none are easy to determine. I have consulted an expert on the subject and the answer isn't clear. There is a possibility its a Northern race bird (Acredula) but this bird is paler than those , then it could be the Eastern Race (Yakutensis) which would be very rare but unfortunately there is also crossover between races. The other option and probably most likely , is its the normal race Willow Warbler (trochilus) but for some abnormal reason it has not moulted at all,in the winter and the plumage is so worn it has become almost washed out , as the feathers do look worn . Normal Spring Willow Warblers are prestine green and yellow which as you can see this bird isn't at all , so which race cannot from pictures be totally determined , but whatever it was it was a smart unusual Willow Warbler , like none ive seen before really, in 50 years of birding,also when it tried to sing , it was nothing like a Willow Warbler so possibly a 2nd cy bird that even has a aberant song.
Don't think there was much chance of this trout getting away from this osprey.
A very tight crop as just about caught this at the edge of the photo.

This is the culmination of well over a year’s worth of work: I think I started this project a little after the UCS Republic Gunship was released. So it feels good to finally have this finished and show it off!
I strived to make an accurate, studless version of the ship which incorporated some of the discoloured panels like the UCS version. I used the reference material collected from Star Wars Episode 2, 3 and Battlefront II.
Over the course of this project, a few outstanding Gunships emerged in the LEGO Star Wars community, which was both inspiring and slightly disheartening as they set the bar for MOCs of this vehicle incredibly high! Bousker made an excellent Clone Wars version and you may see some similarities between mine and Jhae's. Though we came to the solution of using the grated cheese slopes independently, his design helped inform some of the internal structure and the bed of the troop compartment.
I also looked to atlasr's version for inspiration, which while digital and at a slightly larger scale than I was aiming for, is perhaps the most accurate LEGO version I’ve ever seen.
Massive thanks to all the dudes for their inspiration, encouragement, feedback, and numerous ideas which I stole, you know who you are!
#2 in the series of confessions. Soon, I might actually confess something no one knows. I'll think about it. haha
"When I first saw you
I knew that I'd never forget
This moment in time
Justa smile and you took away my heart
I never knew that my life would change
I never knew that I'd feel this way
Baby, believed me I'm right
Won't try to fight
This feelings inside I can't hide
I think I love You
This I am sure
Coz I miss you
Each time that you go
The things in my heart
The things that i say
are things that are true all the way
I've fallen for you
I'll never let go
Coz I need you
You're the light in my sorrow
THe things in my heart
The things that i say
are things that are true all the way
I love you
The days passed, I woke up
my heart, shot by an arrow
I go on my way
The sun shining everyday
Like, there's no tomorrow
I promise with you I will stay
If you tell me you'd be with me too
say yah do
we're meant for each other
I always believe that we do
the way my world brightens
whenever you're with me I know..."
