I captured this rare visitor to Michigan last Saturday evening. I had heard a bunch of rumbling while I was at work that one had showed up at the beach in one of our local metro parks. When I got off work, me and my wife went to mass and after words headed over to the park. We located him out on the beach. He allowed me to photograph him without being spooked for a little bit. I spent about 10 min rattling off a bunch of images and then left him alone. Figured he needed some food and rest for the rest of his journey.

 

He was standing just on shore when this little wave came in and splashed off of him.

 

(Catching up as I been working 65+ hours a week for a while now)

This has been such a great year for flowers.

This night photograph was taken over two weeks ago during my recent visit to Shanghai.

 

The photograph was taken from Waibaidu Bridge, on the West of Huangpu River, looking towards the landmarks in Shanghai Pudong. It was a breezy evening, with blurred reflections of the landmark structures, including the Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai Tower and Shanghai People's Heroes Monument (in red).

This photo was taken in the Masai Mara, Kenya!

This is the split rail fence that borders a portion of the Mill Valley Dog Park and is probably the most colorful fence you'll find anywhere, with lichen growing along its entire length.

 

I don't know what Flickr has done with the EXIF data, but I set the aperture at f22 for this shot, in order to get the entire length of the fence in sharp focus. Whatever Flickr's problem is, I hope they fix it soon because, whenever I see an interesting image, I immediately check the EXIF data to see how the shot was accomplished, and I really miss not having it.

 

HFF!

Truly my favorite place to be!

This photo was taken in Wijngaarden, Zuid- Holland.

... Sometimes this old barn

Feels like a long lost friend

Yes and hey its good

To be back home again.

This was large for a Pearl so I thought from a distance it might be a Silvery checkerspot ... but just a large Pearl crescent on ragwort/butterweed. at the wetlands, North Georgia

 

p.s. I've been ill (not covid) ... starting from the pollen being so bad this year! So I'm behind but will catch up with everyone as soon as I can

Watching this magnificent owl hunting from atop a power pole I had the camera in a portrait orientation to try and catch it as it flew to the ground. Instead it flew across the road and right over my vehicle. A horizontal crop from vertical.

Lyrics

I am not a stranger to the dark

Hide away, they say

'Cause we don't want your broken parts

I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars

Run away, they say

No one'll love you as you are

But I won't let them break me down to dust

I know that there's a place for us

For we are glorious

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down

I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out

I am brave, I am bruised

I am who I'm meant to be, this is me

Look out 'cause here I come

And I'm marching on to the beat I drum

I'm not scared to be seen

I make no apologies, this is me

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Another round of bullets hits my skin

Well, fire away 'cause today, I won't let the shame sink in

We are bursting through the barricades and

Reaching for the sun (we are warriors)

Yeah, that's what we've become (yeah, that's what we've become)

I won't let them break me down to dust

I know that there's a place for us

For we are glorious

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down

I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out

I am brave, I am bruised

I am who I'm meant to be, this is me

Look out 'cause here I come

And I'm marching on to the beat I drum

I'm not scared to be seen

I make no apologies, this is me

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

This is me

and I know that I deserve your love

(Oh-oh-oh-oh) 'cause there's nothing I'm not worthy of

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down

I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out

This is brave, this is proof

This is who I'm meant to be, this is me

Look out 'cause here I come (look out 'cause here I come)

And I'm marching on to the beat I drum (marching on, marching, marching on)

I'm not scared to be seen

I make no apologies, this is me

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down

I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out

I'm gonna send a flood

Gonna drown them out

Oh

This is me

For Macro Mondays - Bubbles.

Titled 'This One' as it was the bubble shot I preferred for this weeks theme.

Happy Macro Monday!!

We are in the old mining town of Derby today, and this abandoned old house is a metaphor for what has happened to the place. But Derby lives on in another form and is thriving in its own way. We'll see that over the next few days. But the old Derby is gone, as has the family that once occupied this house.

 

One can only speculate on the life that once turned this house into a home. But there is a song that captures something of the spirit in this photograph. It was sung by Dinah Washington (1924-1963) in the 1950s and has been newly arranged with her vocals by Max Richter on his incredible album, "On the Nature of Daylight".

 

"This bitter earth

Well, what fruit it bears

What good is love

mmmm that no one shares

And if my life is like the dust

oooh that hides the glow of a rose

What good am I

Heaven only knows

 

Lord, this bitter earth

Yes, can be so cold

Today you're young

 

Too soon, you're old

But while a voice within me cries

I'm sure someone may answer my call

And this bitter earth

Ooooo may not

Oh be so bitter after all"

This is the first time I have seen a seagull stalking and chasing down dragonflies. It caught several small ones and a couple of large ones. It was quite a distance and quite a severe crop

This is another shot from Grasmere Lake on a very still September evening. I wanted to capture the concentric circles around the Swan. I used HDR again from a single RAW image.
