The huge crab-smashing bill of this mangrove specialist sets it apart from all other pittas. Brightly colored with a black mask, green-and-black wings, and a yellow belly. Similar in color to Blue-winged Pitta, but note Mangrove’s larger-headed appearance and habitat. Like other pittas, shy and difficult to see; listen for its throaty and fluid two-parted whistles. (eBird)
------------------
We had searched for this pitta in Singapore but did not find it. However, we struck gold with this one, who was determined to be both seen and heard. He was singing away in the middle of the mangroves - a dark and gloomy place for photography - before hopping onto a branch just on the edge of the trees. Frantic clicking produced several usable shots, including this one.

The strongest people are NOT those who show strength in front of us ..but..
Those who win battles that we know nothing about.

Non avrei mai pensato di trovare qualcuno così simile a me da sentire un suo ritratto un mio self. ti giuro forse è per questo che do il 100% nelle foto che ti faccio, forse è davvero per questo.

For all those who loves winter activities this winter has been a joy
There are lots of trails in the forest and in the evening some of them are being lighted
Moving our butts have been something Norwegians are maybe especially good at
We love our hikes, whether it is walking in the streets or in the forest
I think we have been born with the joy of moving, it is in our spine
And now that I have solved my big problems in life I love listening to music when I'm out walking, feeling the joy, the love for life, the love of moving in small steps, and of course some dancing moves, digging music, life is sure wonderful with all its mysteries
I totally forget time and space when I'm out with Aiko
I give you Wherever I go
Everything in the Château wonderland exists in enchanting harmony!! The Autumn colors are strong and joyful!! Maybe I just underlined them a bit, in order to express what my heart was feeling , and my eyes were watching…those blessed moments…
Note: Those pictures from the Weilersbach's set are not HDR processed pictures. They are just shot from 1 single exposure. You can find the details from the 'more properties' option on the right side of every picture. Thanks for your visit so far :)
So, those of you who know me, know that I often wander off in the woods and hills for hours on end camera in hand. Unfortunately on this occasion I made every mistake imaginable, wrong kit, kit missing, wrong settings and rushing to catch the light.
At first glance, you may think I’m crazy. The image looks decent enough right? Look closer and I’ll list everything that went wrong with this excursion.
1 - Wrong lens. I have been working with one focal length lately as an exercise to improve composition. This scene would have been so much better on a wide angle, but I only had a 40mm Macro lens with me.
2 – No tripod. I decided to pack light one camera, one lens, no tripod. I normally take a full bags worth of kit on a hike
3 – I shot in Jpg instead of Raw. The previous night I had decided to check the shutter count on my Nikon D7200. For some reason this only works 9only ways I have found to do this) is to upload a jpg to an online service that can then tell you. Foolishly I forgot to change back to Raw before I went out the next day!
4 - Rushing the shot. As it was getting on in the afternoon, the sun was dropping really quickly. I was already on my way out of the woods when i spotted the scene. With the combination of falling light and wrong lens, I rushed to get an image as quickly as I could
While there’s nothing wrong with shooting in jpg format. It really doesn’t leave a lot of editing doors open for a final image. Especially when shooting directly into the sun in a scene like this one. So, I decided to publish this as to always remind me to check and double check everything in the future.
I'e decided I will be writing a blog post to go into more detail about my "faux pas" later this week

Dedicated to all those who offer their lives to the service of this country and it's people: family, friends, neighbors and total strangers. It is not an easy life and it is mainly a thankless endeavour. Veteran's Day is a humble way for us to thank you all for what you do...for us.
those wrongs would last forever:-)

Rose Grove MPD was one of the last three sheds to host steam power in the UK along with Carnforth and Lostock Hall. It ceased operations on 4th August 1968. Shortly after closure the depot was demolished and a motorway now runs through the site.
Yes, those stairs so beloved by photographers (me included), but from a different angle.
A French curve is a template used in manual drafting to draw smooth curves of varying radii and it was the curve from the upper to lower floor which so appealed to me.
Finally I feel human again and was able to visit the zoo with the first graders today. My schedule was too busy to work on photography so I grabbed a subject that speaks to many, found a little light and ta da photo for the day done. Hope you find the sweet spot in your pursuits today.
These flies were very annoying and would bother us when they didn't have birds to bother. I guess these birds don’t have too many feathers on top of their head so it’s easier for the flies to bite them. Jabiru taken in North Pantanal, Brazil.
Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
for those of you who have never gone to Sardinia, you won't miss this feeling, this need of watching. that turquoise sea water, the surprising coast line and all those watching towers looking out for you. so much to see, so must to watch.

For those of us crammed into the "little boxes on the hillside," a life in the great outdoors is less a dream and more a retirement plan that never quite materializes. So, while we're stuck in our "ticky-tacky" conformity, this Barn in the photo is clearly living its best, most adventurous life—and its story is certainly a tale worth telling.
Thomas Moulton first homesteaded this property in 1908 as a bachelor. He came over Teton Pass with his brother and a neighbor from Teton Basin, Idaho. The Moultons had moved to Idaho from Utah several decades before.
For the first few winters Moulton continued to return to the family holdings in Idaho. By 1912 though he had married and he brought his new wife, Lucille, over the pass to permanently settle in the Jackson Hole valley.
What remains from his homestead is only a barn, but the barn has created a legacy beyond anything Moulton or his children could have imagined. Billed as the “most photographed barn in America,” this structure had humble beginnings.
Moulton began construction on the central portion in 1913 in order to give his hard-working horses some shelter. The original barn had a flat roof, but it provided a necessary service for the Moulton family. In 1928 the hayloft and steeply pitched gable roof was added. By 1938 and 1939 two shed roofed lean-tos were added to the structure. First the north section for the horses, then the south section for the pigs. The continued addition of separate parts to make the whole gives the barn a unique, but unintentional character that is recognized nationally. Preservation efforts have been undertaken by both the Moulton family and the Grand Teton National Park to ensure that this barn continues to illustrate the trials and successes of homesteading in Jackson Hole.

Those little birds just have no fear. The little kingbird, Cassin's I think, buzzed this regal bald eagle a bunch of times while I watched. In fact, it seemed in a few of my frames to be dancing in the eagle's face. The eagle outlasted both of us though, and I moved on. Check it Large!
The Scallop sits on the beach at Aldeburgh, in Suffolk. It's a 4 metre high monument by local born artist Maggi Hambling to the late Benjamin Britten, composer and past Aldeburgh resident, who used to take his afternoon walks along the beach. The sculpture consists of two broken interlocking scallop shells. Cut into the rim of the upright shell are the words “I hear those voices that will not be drowned” from Britten’s opera Peter Grimes. The Scallop was installed in 2003.
Those of you who are mountain people will be familiar with such sights... but it is new to me.
Montagne Sainte-Victoire, Provence, France - October 2016
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont_Sainte-Victoire_(C%C3%A9zanne)
Those limestone pillars along the distant bluff line are locally called Chimney Rocks and are famous landscape features to canoe or kayak under if you are floating down the Upper Iowa River. They rise about 150 feet (45 meters) above the water and are the result of weathering that eroded away softer limestone in the sheer bluffs there.
