Mallard. Best Viewed Large On Black Landing on ice produces the most amazing, funny photos. Happy New Year to all my flickr friends! IMG_1191
I was so lucky to get this shot , a few days ago I went out onto my balcony and the Sun was just before setting, the light of which was beaming across the plants and that's when I noticed a small patch of moss with those little extremities, where the light was actually now illuminating them, they looked like miniature organic street lamps.
With literally minutes to get it together, I first tried using the Tamron with the Raynox but it was a little too close at 70mm, so I then tried the Nikkor 55-200mm again with the Raynox and brought down the ISO to achieve the glow without blowing out the detail. It was a little tricky as the lens was balanced on the side of the pot to get the angle achieved.
Anyway, I think I got there in the end!
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)
PS: Zoom in ;)

The greatest courage is the courage to start over.
The greatest virtue is to care deeply.
The greatest ignorance is ignorance of beauty.
The greatest sin is indifference.
The greatest reward for a life well lived is to have no regrets."

American Widgeon (f) improvised landing on ice. View Large On Black Fascinating to watch how the birds adapt to landing on ice. They do learn what works for them. Hopefully a chuckle for the day! IMG_1016
For today's theme "sequence/progression".
I took these photos a few weeks back but they came in handy today :) Evie on the beach, exiting the sea, wet and off she trots lol. It was tricky for me to sequence these, but I like the result.
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a blue day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Looking close on Friday is Silhouette. I must admit: silhouettes are always difficult to achieve in my case. My tiny "studio" isn’t the perfect setup for background light so I have to improvise…
And today, we have Mr. Monkey how is very happy and ecstatic to see a levitating Mr. Egg. Mr. Monkey loves watching the moon. So Mr. Egg reminds him of those beautiful full moon nights in the jungle, when the moon light has this beautiful dark blue hue… Mr. Monkey was, then, a baby living with his siblings and sleeping in an old wooden barrel (actually, it was made of plastic but I swear it looked like wood…those Chinese imitations are very tricky !). Of course, right now, Mr. monkey lives in a city, very, very far away from the jungle… But you know what they say: you can take a monkey out of the jungle but you can’t take the jungle out of the monkey. The jungle will be in Mr. Monkey’s heart forever…
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! Have a beautiful day !
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
A large duck, generally common and familiar within its extensive range. Males are distinctive with iridescent green head, yellow bill, chestnut breast, and gray body. Females are mottled brown with orange and black splotches on the bill. Found anywhere with water, including city parks, backyard creeks, and various wetland habitats. Often in flocks, and frequently mixes with other duck species. In North America, females can be tricky to distinguish from American Black Duck, Mottled Duck, and Mexican Duck where ranges overlap. Those species are all darker-bodied than Mallard. A good view of the wing can be helpful, too: white wingbars on the leading and trailing edges of the blue wing patch are bolder on Mallard. Frequently hybridizes with those species, which can be even more confusing. Any bird with extensive white in the tail or curled feathers above the tail has some Mallard genes. (eBird)
-----------------
Mallards are common ducks and are frequently overlooked on the quest for something new and different, but they are pretty ducks that deserve some attention. Of course, sometimes they demand that attention by gathering around people and asking for food. This lone female, though, was just minding her business and drifting along on the pond.

……In my music room there are numerous ‘misfits’ if things were to get a little mixed up! This genre crossing LP selection here has a misfit in many ways - Red to Black is obvious but Tricky & Bach are composers that are poles apart, as are Tricky’s Flame Red ‘The Hell EP’ and Black four LP set of ’St Matthew Passion’ by Bach that I used to take the shot. All done for Macro Monday’s theme of ‘Misfit’ - which would you choose??? HMM while you ponder, Alan:-)…….

Closer, we're getting closer my friend
To guide me on my way
The road is tricky and a world is among us
The light will lead us to the end
Carrion crow, taken this morning near my Suffolk home. I usually find these a bit tricky, as their plumage often looks dull & flat, but I was lucky here as the light caught him really nicely.
March 2019.
This is the descent down swirral edge from Helvellyn, it is steep and the path/pebbles are very slippy...my knees are still cursing me!! The peak in the distance at the edge of the ridge is Catstye Cam
Please view large!!
Yes, Dickey Falls is the actual name of this falls!! It was tough to capture as I had to stop on the side of the highway and walk down the bank to a clearing and shoot from across the river. This was the clearest shot I could get. I shot some up closer but liked the way the hill crossed in the foreground and kind of led you into the falls. The close up was just rock and water. Kris.
Had a tricky walk along to the rangefinder below Souter lighthouse this morning, only possible as low tide coincided with the sunrise, unfortunately a bank of cloud on the horizon prevented a more colourful sky
SRNJ M420W pair 3517 and 3578 shove 6 empty lumber cars toward Atlantic City on the Pleasantville Industrial track on the afternoon of Jan. 27, 2023. Not far outside Atlantic City, they got on the NJ Transit AC line and ran back north to the CSAO interchange at Winslow Junction to end their day.
Sun was hit or miss on this day. 50% sun here was all I could muster! These guys are essentially my new hometown railroad but have been tricky to find running... this was just the second time I've found them moving in two months.
Tricky shot...
Despite appearances the light wasnt good and it was one of those 'moments' to decide whether to risk a slow shutter to retain some quality., or use a faster shutter to reduce motion blur
I went for the former and luckily despite the Stags size and weight he paused just for a split second whilst on two legs enabling me to get a shot off
This little one had a hard time swallowing this feather. It’s parent even tried to feed it another one, but that didn’t work.

Male Brown Hawker.
One of the trickier species to photograph as they rarely settle for long and they are very sensitive to movement and rarely allow a close approach.
A short interruption to come back to 2023. Here is a Brown Thrasher, the first time I remember getting a clear photograph of one. Filmed at the Cruickshank Sanctuary. This one was not at all tricky to glimpse as it was singing in this dead tree. Yes I was shocked to see it and wasn't sure with the ID until I got home. I checked eBird and there have been many sightings and 12 photos posted from Cruickshank of the Brown Thrasher. Of course, I was there to see the Florida Scrub Jay, some of the few remaining live in Cruickshank scrub. I'll get back to that shortly.
From Cornell -
It can be tricky to glimpse a Brown Thrasher in a tangled mass of shrubbery, and once you do you may wonder how such a boldly patterned, gangly bird could stay so hidden. Brown Thrashers wear a somewhat severe expression thanks to their heavy, slightly downcurved bill and staring yellow eyes, and they are the only thrasher species east of Texas. Brown Thrashers are exuberant singers, with one of the largest repertoires of any North American songbird.

The minions had never ever not even once thought that eyeballs were candy until they heard a group of people speaking appreciatively about eye candy.
It was decided on the spot.
They frantically surfed the dark web and found a crew with a truck who eagerly agreed to collect and deliver every single eyeball they could find.
Don't ask.
So this year for Halloween, the minions are passing out eye candy to all the trick or treaters.
The trick or treaters are passing out.
Happy Shocktober
