When people talk about fall color in the western US, they're referring to the changing Aspen leaves.
Here, in Aspendell, a suburb of Bishop, California, I found a stand of Aspen that was peaking, as you can see the full range of color in this one section of trees. A couple hundred feet of elevation higher and the leaves were nearly gone, a couple of hundred feet lower and there was no color shift. So, for this location, at least, it was perfect timing.
Looking forward to seeing some iconic locations again soon. Some are always busy, but it's still a pleasure to be there.
Derwent Water is always busy, as I found back in 2019 for this image - finding a perfect view can be tricky sometimes...
This is a handheld shot with incredible still water - A small snow squall had just passed and the weather changed in an instant. 15 minutes earlier this scene had choppy water. As my goal on this shoot was sunset, I had time to double back and re-shoot spots.
GPS is for Stansbury Island and not the exact spot of the photo.

Green Grass Dart / Skipper (Ocybadistes walkeri)
Timing? Or just good luck?
I was actually trying to get a shot of one of the Native Bees that was on the Dandelion, the bee left a microsecond before I clicked. When I looked at the image I saw I had the Skipper in flight and with tongue out as it approached the Dandelion. I'll take it - I have never captured a Skipper in flight before.

It got really windy here. Like, hold onto your hat windy! I laid down on the dock to get this male Bufflehead Duck bobbing up and down. One tough duck to shoot anyhow. You need perfect light to get all those beautiful colors on the head. Shark River NJ.
The Martini bell tower was destroyed by the Germans in WWII, just one day before the liberation. The tower fell into the church.
Due to the lack of financial resources the church and tower were restored in 1965.
This shot was taken at National Remembrance Day, what a metaphor.
Set up my camera for macro shot of the flowers and this moth/butterfly landed and made a great macro photo bomb.
Das sind die Wolken, die ich sehr gerne 15 Min früher gehabt hätte, wenn sie schön rosa geleuchtet hätten...
It all depends upon the timing. I should know, I am a drummer. There were so many times I would be stopped at the beginning of a song and told it's too fast or it is too slow.
Then upon some study I found out that almost, or the majority of songs were in the same speed. Very little differences.
Happy Whatever day it is.
This stallion ( on the left) was trying to cozy up to some of the females who had young foals. The females seemed annoyed with him haha.

Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!
ist hier wirklich erforderlich. Die Wellen sind herausfordernd und verlangen einiges Können beim Surfen am Strand der Insel La Graciosa, die der Insel Lanzarote vorgelagert ist,
Die beiden Inseln gehören zur Kanarischen Inselgruppe (Spanien) und sind nicht weit vom afrikanischen Kontinent entfernt.

Timing is everything, and everything came together this evening as three trains converged at Dock 6 while the distinctive laker John D. Leitch loaded ore. Great light and color with the shadows holding off long enough to get all three trains unobstructed. Credit Air Missabe One and skillful piloting by Gus.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend of photography ahead. Stay safe and keep the shutters clicking my Flickr friends. Enjoy!

It was the end of a cool, sunny June day on Lake Michigan, at Grand Haven, MIchigan, USA. Since it was a very cool weekday, before school is out for the summer, the beaches were empty...a most relaxing time to vacation.
This is a sight I had never seen before last year, Gannets flying in tight formation the crucial thing is the date March 1st . Its not a great shot but I wanted to keep a record
We had gone to Bempton just to walk the cliff tops not really expecting much bird activity . However a RSPB warden told us that the Gannets were just beginning to the return to the cliffs and they arrive back in large groups . When they have mated they tend to hunt individually
Northern Gannets mate for life. Young birds reach maturity between the ages of four and five. They begin breeding between March and April. Northern Gannets mainly breed in colonies and breeding sites, also called “gannetries”, on cliffs and offshore islands. They tend to stay loyal to their breeding sites and return to the colony they were born in. Experienced adults usually arrive at the breeding grounds earlier than juveniles, to re-bond with their mate and to defend their territory against rival seabirds.
Their migration routes differ depending on their age. The timing and duration of their migration could also substantially change the geographical location of “gannetries” can also influence the migration patterns of this seabird.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .
Yeah, I know they're 'just' Mute Swans, but I couldn't not take this shot as the pair drifted through water rendered black by the reflection of the black barge behind them.
Timing is everything when trying to get this blast of flame from the 9 O'clock gun in Stanley Park. After about 3 attempts I finally got it.
Nothing says "summer" to me quite like the all-encompassing racket of cicadas. This year, their symphony has hit such an epic crescendo that we've had to keep the doors shut—otherwise, we can’t hear ourselves think or talk. (On second thought, maybe that’s a feature, not a bug!)
Cicadas hold the dubious honor of being the loudest insects on Earth. Some species can belt out a 120-decibel tune—louder than a rock concert and painful to human ears. The deafening din is believed to deter hungry birds, and when cicadas sing in a group, it’s harder for predators to zero in on any one unlucky performer. I’m convinced that at least half the Australian cicada population has formed a choir in the trees behind our house.
This guy here was sharing the pool with me today, having a refreshing swim, which he unfortunately never learned to do. Lucky for him I have my cicada lifesaving credentials!
Fun Fact
Cicadas aren’t just an Aussie phenomenon — these noisy critters are found worldwide, especially in tropical regions. This year, cicada fans (yes, they exist) are buzzing about an event 1,547 years in the making! For the first time in over two centuries, two U.S. broods—the 13-year and 17-year cicadas—have emerged together. Meanwhile, down under, our beloved greengrocer cicadas, with their 7-year life cycle, are joining the party. A global jam session!
With over 200 known species in Australia and as many as 800 still waiting for scientific recognition, their singing is well known all over the country.
Trying to wrap my head around the maths and timing of these cycles is more headache-inducing than the cicada choir itself.
This is a focus bracket and stack of 10 photos taken with my 60mm macro lens.
Have a great week everyone!
