Took night pictures Friday, went back Saturday with a flashlight to light up the outside more.

I took this image last year.

It was one of those amazing moments when the sun is low in a late afternoon sky and unexpectedly a storm rolls in.

The sky took on hues of pinks/yellows and purples.

It rained hard for a short time and a double rainbow appeared thereafter.

In the right place at the right time.......and bonus, I had my camera. 😉

I took this picture as I was leaving the Flying J truckstop in Beaver Utah. The light dusting of snow and the jumbled pile of truck tires beside the rear exit caught my eye, so I stopped and took a few shots. New these tires would cost about $500 each.

I took this late afternoon shot looking along a valley towards Cathedral Peak, which is the distant peak on the right side of this panoramic landscape. Cathedral Peak is the main point of access to some of the wildest areas of the central Drakensberg, and provides some most spectacular scenery.

Took this one today down in Newport Beach. There is a heavy storm heading in my direction promising rain for the next 5 days. This is a look at it as it approaches from the west, unfortunately 5 mins after this shot was taken the sun plugged under the cloud layer and shut down any color left in the sky. You should have seen me and about 5 other photographers jaws drop in dismay as the color was sucked out of the clouds. Just 15 mins before sundown there were nice puffy clouds and we were all talking about how epic the sunset was going to be, and in nothing flat the sky turned gray. I have never really believed in jinxes but I think we jinx ourselves. Mother Nature can be a finicky Miss. :)

Took this near Fillmore Utah. One of those pictures that has always stuck in my mind, just didn't know which SD card it was on. Figured I better post it now before I lose it again.

Took this while waiting for a,green light, off US-395 Hesperia, CA. Very hot afternoon with high winds and lots of dust being blown about.

I took this picture on film with my Canon EOS-1 over 15 years ago. I discovered the film canisters and took them in to be developed last week. Only minor color level adjustment was done in Photoshop

Took this shot in the lake district. was a grey day but the greens looks fabulous. Thanks for viewing .

I took this a few years ago. I believe this was in southern Oregon. Anyway, just looking through some older shots and felt like posting a few. Especially since I've had to drive past shots I would have liked to had taken today, but couldn't pull over.

I took this picture in the bank today on the desk of the customer service rep who was helping me. If I have to wait too long for anything I start seeing interesting things to take pictures of!

Took a canoe trip with a friend in search of a loon family. Found the family much sooner than we anticipated (just after our launch) and had to move on to avoid stressing them. Came back in later (to return to our launch point), and were able to see the chick as we passed by. Still managed some great shots.

Took this picture this morning at the Staart in Dordrecht. It was a beautiful misty morning. The weather is great lately, spring really has arrived and will be out and about a lot. Have a wonderful week and enjoy yourselves. Thank you for all your kind comments, awards, faves and wishes. Love and hugs, Edith :-)

I took pictures for this texture by my house. The ground had wet in areas under the trees and dry on the sun. I decided to leave it like it is, since its more natural.

Took a hike around Coon Lake in Frederic. The woods were on fire with color. These are my favourites among many shots.

Bar tailed Godwit - Liomosa Laponica

Norfolk

The bar-tailed godwit is a long-billed, long-legged wading bird which visits UK shores for the winter. Most usually seen in its grey-brown winter plumage, birds in spring may show their full rich chestnut breeding plumage. In flight it shows a white patch stretching from the rump up the back, narrowing to a point. It breeds in the Arctic of Scandinavia and Siberia and hundreds of thousands of them pass through the UK, on their way further south, or stop off here for the winter.

The bar-tailed godwit breeds on Arctic coasts and tundra mainly in the Old World, and winters on coasts in temperate and tropical regions of the Old World and of Australia and New Zealand. Its migration includes the longest known non-stop flight of any bird and also the longest journey without pausing to feed by any animal.

The bar-tailed godwit migrates in flocks to coastal East Asia, Alaska, Australia, Africa, northwestern Europe and New Zealand.

It was shown in 2007 to undertake the longest non-stop flight of any bird. Birds in New Zealand were tagged and tracked by satellite to the Yellow Sea in China. According to Dr. Clive Minton (Australasian Wader Studies Group): The distance between these two locations is 9,575 km (5,950 mi), but the actual track flown by the bird was 11,026 km (6,851 mi). This was the longest known non-stop flight of any bird. The flight took approximately nine days. At least three other bar-tailed godwits also appear to have reached the Yellow Sea after non-stop flights from New Zealand.

One specific female of the flock, nicknamed E7 flew onward from China to Alaska and stayed there for the breeding season. Then on 29 August 2007 she departed on a non-stop flight from the Avinof Peninsula in western Alaska to the Piako River near Thames, New Zealand, setting a new known flight record of 11,680 km (7,258 mi).

I took this in November, when we still had colour in the backyard. Taken from inside with the sun coming through the blinds.

HSS!

We're in the midst of the snow storm that was predicted - not going anywhere today.

I took this pic while visiting the upper roofs of the Cathedral of Salamanca. The sun light was reflecting on this building as the sun went down, and I tried to capture the moment.

Took the D800 out alongside the Z6 this morning

Took this shot at Hardwick Park the other day, some have been insisting it’s Sheryl Crow, but it was absolutely too mahoosive to be a crow, hard to judge the size of it on this photo, but it definitely wasn’t crow sized. Ravens and crows do look very similar though. Still, it’s a very handsome brand, regardless. 😂 Happy weekend all. ❤️❤️

Took full advantage of the crowds feeding the swans & ducks

Took several versions with darker night as well as this twilight. I decided to post this version because I liked that the chairs were more visible. HBM!

One of the Ferris Wheels at Iowa State Fair - along the Midway! The excitement starts when the sun goes down!

Took it during I visit California this summer 陽光下的金門大橋

Took this snap yesterday in the garden, I have been busy processing my doggy Halloween photos and just needed a break.

Took this pano earlier in the year on a GOR photography trip. Cheers

Took it at Antioch California, A regular sunrise and a good start of the day. 在北加州拍的早上的第一縷陽光，充滿希望，祝大家一周好心情

Took it at the trout lake too during the leave still there. Have a great week ahead! 鱒魚湖的平靜湖面造就了一幅秋景

Took an hour outdoors this evening to capture the Northern Lights. Been a long time since I have had a decent auroral shoot. Only it was -35˚C outside this evening, I was happy to leave when the activity started dying down.

Took this 11 years ago by the crab meadow beach,

Happy fourth of July to all my friends!

...took this shot close to Hamburg ....

It took me quite a while to get over my stupid mistake from this mornings shoot, as I lost almost all of my images.

It was captured a while ago at one of my favourite locations on Holy Island and is a poignant reminder of that morning.

It was certainly a steep learning curve, no doubt one that has been made by many togs before.

Took it this morning around 8 am, the sunlight from the back make it so lovely. 今天早上拍的，晨光從草後面照過來，給草地增加了一份生機

Took this two years ago, just outside Lagos in Portugal. Going back .... will be off for 10 days or so. Later.

Took another look at a few of the images form the storm coming ashore at the Galveston Island seawall. This one is earlier that evening and before the darker image I posted in January. The Historic Peer is in the distance on the right.

I took this image at the excellent Durlston Country Park near Swanage. When I visited last week, the flowering Gorse and Blackthorn were a joy to behold and I was keen to get some images of the birds amongst the blossom. This was the best I managed of a Linnet, perhaps the most apparent songbird in the park last week, but rather too flighty for close up photography!

Took it at QE park Rose garden when rain was coming at the time 在溫哥華女皇公園的玫瑰園，雨接種而至

Took this shot, early morning as the sun was just coming up and this gray heron was hunting for fish along the lake shore.

Took it in California, the temperature at noon time around 35 c during I visit but morning only 20 c very cold... you can see the two people wearing winter cloth. 加州不同地方的天氣差異很大，這個內陸小鎮早間氣溫只有20度，但中午可以到三十五以上，兩個早鍛煉的人穿著冬天的衣服，而我這個無知的人還穿著夏天的短褲

I took this back in August of last year. This was the second time I visited this amazing location in my life... It only took me 5 years to head back to it haha.

Kinney Lake is nestled approximately 6 Kms in on the Berg Lake Trail in Mount Robson Provincial Park. For those who do not know, Mount Robson is the tallest peak in the Canadian Rockies. You do hike in the behemoths shadow pretty much the entire time.

I hope it doesn't take me another 5 years to go back. I spent close to two hours just sitting by the lake snapping pictures haha.

♫ I took a pill in Ibiza

To show Avicii I was cool

And when I finally got sober, felt ten years older

But fuck it, it was something to do

I'm living out in LA

I drive a sports car just to prove

I'm a real big baller 'cause I made a million dollars

And I spend it on girls and shoes ♫

🎧 Mike Posner - I Took A Pill In Ibiza

Took a back road to nowhere and this I never expected in the location I was in. Early out tomorrow and hope I have a day like my friend Mike Cohen, then all will be good.

Thanks as always for stopping by and is always very much appreciated.

Steichen took over 1,000 exposures of a single white teacup and saucer against a graduated scale of tones from pure white to black velvet. While this redundancy may seem obscure, in A life in Photography, Steichen stated that "the experiment was to a photographer what finger exercises were to a pianist."

HFF! this confused magnolia blossom normally blooms early spring

Took this shot from the Whitby Abbey cliffs looking down on Whitby's harbour walls . It was quite bright when I took the image but ominous clouds were rolling in from the North and the rain began about thirty minutes later

THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED

Took it these two days wish everybody have a great weekend 這兩天拍的，秋天悄然而至

Took this picture whilst out hiking on Dartmoor. The weather was a little rough but not too cold..

Took a little roadtrip yesterday up to Salem, MA. Came back with a photo of a brick wall. That's so me!

Happy Sliders Sunday!
