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.
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
This Garter snake was enjoying the hot summer weather after it had just finished moulting/shedding its skin that was still right beside it. Clearly it had outgrown its old skin and it was time for a newer model.
The challenge with shooting the male Ruby-throated Hummingbird is to catch them with their gorget lit up. The Black & Bloom is finally blooming and my other plants are close to blooming. So I'll have more opportunities. My backyard.
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

Seen from the Magic Attic the other night - always a glorious view.
Enjoy the music of Loreena McKennitt and the words of Rumi - just ... relax.

Hope you are all having a Sunny Sunday. It's cloudy and blowy here - refreshing nonetheless LOL.
This is one of the least busy places I know, always was.
But just when I arrived there today two walkers settled on a bench for their break.
Well, I know how to get there.
It's also a nature reserve since 1938 and originated as a relic of an Ice Age glacier.
Perfect timing: It was the end of a long hiking day and it was near to the carpark. The trip could not have ended better. Awesome time with a friend I haven't meet for quite some time.
Like a mini vacation, three day weekends are a welcome respite from a busy work schedule. On this occasion, it was the Family Day Statutory Holiday that gave most people a break and a few took advantage of free fishing to enjoy the perfext timing of a sunny day.
I was glad I was able to get focused on the female Belted Kingfisher as it flew by the female Common Merganser. Central Bucks, PA.
I spotted this Osprey and the moon behind it. At first the moon was to the right, took some pics, repositioned myself and waited a bit to get this shot. Central Bucks PA.
Sometimes on the Ferry ride home, we are fortunate to time it with the sunset. This night was no exception in terms of color and vibrance. The sky was lit with various warm colors and the distant mountains delivered wonderful shapes and silhouettes.
In order to capture the image without creating a fuzzy one, the ISO, and shutter speed are turned up. One needs to take advantage of whatever one can, in order to deliver something worth keeping.
I only made it to Bedford, Indiana a couple of times. The second time, I managed to photograph a train in the street. However, being February this northbound was coming right out of the sun. At least I was able to view and photograph this interesting operation once.

After 5 years I finally took a moment to clean up and re-edit what is still to this day my favorite image... Not much can really beat the light, timing, and place, for me in this image. A fortunate few moments in the sun...
Thanks for looking!
El ángulo dorado
marca en la piedra sombras
de las horas que aguarda
un antiguo reloj.
Y la cúpula inmóvil
en el jardín se esconde,
callada entre los árboles,
mientras escucha el agua.

Neon lights and colourful menus brighten the night at Good Timing Food Village, a lively hub of street food and local flavours.

Another 20 minutes and the light would have gone kaput, luckily everything worked out because I've been wanting this photo for a while. SLR train 393 lead by RM-1 804 pours it on climbing into Gilead, Maine, leaving a fog of rich smelling diesel exhaust behind as they roll west into the setting sun.
804-3804-3105-3803-803, 9x12 Gilead, ME
The adult peregrine falcon drop a piece of bird in the air, the juvenile peregrine falcon catching it in perfect timing.
My heart goes out to the fellow who has just arrived at the fishing pier. The afternoon had been sunny, warm, calm, but just as he set out for some relaxation the winds kicked up out of nowhere and the skies filled with clouds making the temperature drop like a rock. Better luck next time.
As I took this photo from this shed an old man on bicycle stopped next to me. I heavy local dialect he asked me what I was taking photos of.
I told him of the shed, because I like it and because it has the same roof tiles as my house. I told him my house was built in 1933 and I wondered how old the shed might be.
He said: "Well, I can tell you, because my father built it in 1922." Pretty good timing to get the info you want right away!

Day 2 of 2025 saw sun and clouds. When this train to Gent passed me, I saw mostly clouds. It wasn't as bad as a few hundred meters more towards Lokeren. There, sun and rain added some spectacle to the photo.
Timing is everything, as a few minutes earlier the foreground scene was also lit by the sun. And a few minutes after this shot, I had to run and seek shelter for the rain.
Its Spring, so that means air shows on the way. Here's a shot of the amazing Brietling team in Portland last summer.
Can't believe I caught this. I had the camera on a tripod with a two second shutter delay when I spotted this tinny screaming towards me. No time to change settings so I just took a guess and actually nailed it. It was great and I'm not complaining, but that was a bit of luck I was hoping to put towards a Lotto ticket... bugger.
