This back lit towering cumulus cloud displayed nice iridescence, shadow cast on to higher clouds, and a bird of prey (although it might just be a raven).

This is a very beautiful little harbour on the north coast of Northern Ireland - well hidden from the tourist trail. It has spectacular views across to Fair Head and Rathlin Island.
I dedicate this image to my dear friend WT who is probably the finest photographer on Flickr................please treat yourself and look at his stream at www.flickr.com/photos/tomjaynes/
I hope this qualifies for a fitting joke @ one of my fave sites focused on a specific topic, Papyrus Watch. ;D
(And what's with the CamelCase?)
If you look closely, you can see me in the reflection, taking the picture.
This idea popped into my head yesterday and this morning I set out to experiment and play with it. I was so excited how the smoke was acting around the egg I wanted to race back here and show you all the very first one I took :D Off I go!

I went to the lake last week to try to catch some rising mist. I wasn't sure where to get the best views. Stopped at this spot and 5 minutes later the mist was all gone and the sun warmed up the view (image below)

And I could've been another minute late
And you'd never would've crossed my path that day
And when it seems true love is hard to find
That's when love comes along
Just in time
You can call it fate
Or destiny
Sometimes it really seems like its a mystery
Cause you can be hurt by love
Or healed by the same
Timing is everything
No evening out in the dark with a friend who happens to be a drone pilot would be complete without throwing an obligatory drone donut over the subject.
It's not easy to get the timing of the circle right but I did like the light cast by the drone on the ground.
No Photoshop, no AI, only two lunatics stood in a freezing field with cameras.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Captured during my recent street photography workshop and demonstrating that timing can be so crucial to street photography. Enjoy!
I was amazed I actually got this with my point and shoot! have a great Tuesday guys! And thank you so much for dropping by :)

Here is a photo of my favorite snake species the Regal Ringneck Snake (Diaophis punctatis regalis). They have a very secretive natural history which makes them difficult to purposely find on the surface. That makes finding them that much more special.
This particular animal was the result of me specifically targeting them under environmental conditions when I thought they should be on the surface in Central Utah back in 2013. My timing was the result of much study of historical specimens, including my own personal finds as well as the finds of other people. I was very happy my theory was correct and that I was able to find and photograph this animal. These snakes have a widespread distribution in Utah and are probably common in the areas they exist but they live underground most of the time. Unlike the ringneck snakes in the central and eastern United states these snakes apparently don't eat worms and slugs and in most of their habitat they don't have amphibians to consume either. Not only that they can be found in very desolate areas which is again very different than their sister subspecies to the east. In some of these desert mountain and foothill habitats they have small toad and frog larvae to consume in spring and early summer but in most areas there primary food source is lizards and other snakes. Instead of constricting their prey, ringneck snakes have a saliva which is toxic to other reptiles and amphibians. Unlike a cobras or coral snakes that also feed primarily on snakes, the ringneck lacks fangs for delivery of this venom like saliva. The ringneck instead bites and holds onto its prey chewing its saliva into the prey item. Snakes and lizards can succumb to this venom within minutes. However there are no cases of ringneck snake saliva having any adverse affect on humans or other mammals. I have never even heard of anyone being bitten by these snakes. They are very shy. So if you see one in the wild, congratulate yourself on your luck, admire it and let it on its way.

For me these are not that common of a species. I usually see no more than a couple at a time, a couple times a year. This morning I found 6 on the Fraser River shooting through a gap in the trees along the shore.
Taken at Chester Zoo on the 22nd Nov 2023. I have taken many photographs but never managed to get the teeth showing. I was really pleased with the composition, tone and mood of this one.
Perfect timing of the sun slowly beginning to set over the city of London.

Featuring some of my favorite lighting I’ve had at the canal for a while, the Hon. James L. Oberstar of the Interlake Steamship Company ventures under the famous Duluth lift bridge while the tour boat Vista Star gets nice and close for passengers to admire the big freighter. For as much as I would have preferred for the Star to be just a little farther back, I can’t fault her Captain for giving his guests a view I’m sure none of them will forget.
Ok, last image of waves.
The timing on this one was completely by accident, and I take absolutely no credit for trying to get the birds to line up like that. They are not photoshopped in, and were actually captured in those positions. I only noticed when I went through my images after the fact.
Lake Erie can indeed be very dramatic with the right conditions!

At last, a decent sunrise in Scotland, I could see this scene before i got to it, the benefit of local knowledge and timing... Loch Ard, at stupid o'clock in the morning... Roll on Autumn!

"Macro Mondays".. "Chain". This chain & sprocket are unused and date back to the 1960s. I had to open two BMC "British Motor Corporation" parts packets to photograph these items. The oily appearance is the original anti-corrosion preservative.
UP 1989 leads train ORPRN-12 south on the Milwaukee Subdivision at control point Valley past CNW signals.
The timing was juuust right, to snag a pair of shots here in Paxton of CN M335, before hurrying off to the interstate and blasting up to Gilman for its towers. The Paxton trench can be difficult because of its limited light opportunities, especially relatively early in the day like when I rolled in, but a few little light gaps were present. The concrete bridge railings offer an interesting view right down the tracks, one that worked out fairly well I'd say.
CN M335 today was led by IC1010 and sister units 1036, 1007, and 1026. I hadn't planned to shoot any farther north of Champaign than Rantoul, but I just couldn't keep myself from following along.
The presence of NS 4001 on the head end of 62V seemed to bring out hoards of photographers on this cloudy Saturday afternoon. Of course the clouds started to dissipate as the train approached, and the position I chose had me facing directly into the previously obscured sun. Seconds after the head end passed I was blinded by brilliant sunshine.
