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.
No real story here, it just made me laugh. I do try to take my photography seriously, I do. I just could not resist. If I told you he was at Machu Picchu you would all say ts ok. He was on San Juan Island if that makes it any more valid to post. Enjoy.
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.
Set up my camera for macro shot of the flowers and this moth/butterfly landed and made a great macro photo bomb.
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.
This morning at sunrise I was standing on the road that goes into our village of homes beholding a beautiful double rainbow enhanced by the approaching socked-in dark storm front. There was a heavy mist falling and blowing in my face, hence the raindrops on the lens. The timing of it all made for a beautiful scene, fleeting as it was!
Female backbird at Golden Acre Park.
Getting the timing right for a shot like this is all down to luck.
These guys as they were two years ago were trying to out muscle their winter cousins the redwings, in the battle for the choicest berry.

As always I extend my sincere appreciation to all those who take the time to stop by and comment on my photos.

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.
Timing is everything and in this case I waited quite a while for this Brown Creeper to open his mouth, then I photographed him doing so.
Happiness is having a scratch for every itch. ~Ogden Nash

Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!
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.
A few weeks back I was asked by a friend to show a photographer from Arizona through Badlands National Park.
He was particularly interested in wildlife and was not disappointed. This year there is also an incredible greening, prolific wildflowers and a sweet clover superbloom, so our attention turned to the plants.
I might not have paid much notice to this tiny flower except that I was very mindful of where my feet were landing in case I might step on a rattlesnake.
The bloom was interesting but it was the buds hanging off the plant that really made it distinctive.
The 1" spiderwort flower has three petals and each stamen has 6 tiny yellow anthers. As each bud opens, the stem becomes erect. The flower blooms in the morning and is turned to jelly by midday.
This gives rise to pondering the miraculous rhythms in nature and their timing. As photographers, we are fortunate to capture these moments and immortalize a life otherwise unattended.
At one time traditional healers used this plant as a medicine for spider bites.
With clouds building, there were still occasional breaks that allowed for some filtered sun. One such hole opened up in a timely fashion as CSX L302 came into Howell, MI. through WE Howell.
Luckily the Short Eared Owls (only 2) waited until 20 minutes after I got to the site to show themselves. Normally you either wait all day for a brief glimpse - or turn up just after the action.
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.
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.
How I got this shot, I don't know, but I was extremely lucky to get the bird entering the water before making a splash
After watching an eastbound pass by in Durand where the sun started to come out after a couple of isolated storms skirted the area to the north, I saw that L514 was ready to leave Flint after the eastbound got past them in Flint. I went east hoping the cloud line would keep moving east and let that sky work for the afternoon westbound. After a lot of waiting, and anxiously watching the train slowly get closer, the cloud line and blue skies were slowly coming, but it was going to be close. With about 45 seconds to spare, the clouds cleared out, the sky opened up, and the sun cast a warm glow on the land and blackened the sky.
