I was taking a few photos of the mourning dove as the blue jay entered the frame squawking at the dove to drive it away. The dove was startled, puffed up and flew away.
I thought it was interesting bird behavior.
Thanks in advance for taking your time to view my photos and leave comments for favs!

An archive shot, I had previously uploaded this back in 2011, but deleted it. This is a re-worked version. The shot was taken a few miles outside Glencolumbcille, Co Donegal. (The map location is a close guess).

Found an old SD card from 2016 today and developed some of the images. This one was taken in Connemara National parl. Whenever you're in Kerry in autumn you can smell the turf fires. Here's the turf drying out on the open to be burnt later.
Those images were taken with my Fuji X100s. Now that I see the colors of this camera, I almost regret having sold it last year.
An abandoned turf house in southern Iceland, nestled on the south side of the coastal cliffs to avoid the cold northerly winds.
Turf houses have a long tradition in Iceland, a land without many trees but with lots of grass. The house frame is wood, the walls are of turf or turf and stone, and the roof is covered with turf with an underlay of slates. Turf is a wonderfully insulating material that can be replaced every few decades.
The building of turf houses faded out during the 20th century as timber, concrete and other building materials became available. Only a few craftsmen still maintain the tradition.
I've been part of a wonderful group of film shooters from all over the world, the Film Shooters Collective, for about a year now, and I'm delighted to announce our first book has just been published. NSEW, all film images from the various places we call home, including a collection of my little houses.
The sad story behind this one, that's a demolition notice in the front window, and a guy who was parked just off frame, sitting in his truck on the phone got out to question me about what I was doing, friendly, bemused and all business. I'm not a betting woman, but my instincts told me he was in all likelihood the developer.
Turf Stacks, Connemara
a picture taken more or less from the roadside , returned again to fine tune the image but the stacks were gone , this image was taken handheld with the camera stretched out above my head , tilting screen came in very handy
Madeline Squire and Araminta Wraith as duelling sisters (or step-sisters from Cinderella's perspective) from the dress rehearsal of Cinderella by Scottish Ballet, at the Festival Theatre in Edinburgh.
You can see more pics in my Cinderella set.
The production, which is choreographed by Christopher Hampson, is currently at the Festival Theatre and then goes on tour to Glasgow, Aberdeen and Inverness in January.

The Glaumbær Farm first exhibition was opened in 1952, but the farm had served as a dwelling until 1947. The old turf farmhouse forms the backdrop for exhibitions focusing on rural life in 18th- and 19th-century Iceland. On the museum grounds at Glaumbær, there are also two 19th-century timber houses, Áshús and Gilsstofa. These are good examples of the first timber houses built in the region. Áshús contains exhibitions and the Tea Room Áskaffi, which serves traditional light Icelandic fare. Full meals are available if booked in advance. Gilstofa, at present, contains the Museum´s administrative offices. Together these three buildings are a powerful reminder of 18th- and 19th-century life in rural Iceland.*

Icelandic turf houses (Icelandic: torfbæir) were the product of a difficult climate, offering superior insulation compared to buildings solely made of wood or stone, and the relative difficulty in obtaining other construction materials in sufficient quantities.[1]
30% of Iceland was forested when it was settled, mostly with birch. Oak was the preferred timber for building Norse halls in Scandinavia, but native birch had to serve as the primary framing material on the remote island. However, Iceland did have a large amount of turf that was suitable for construction. Some structures in Norway had turf roofs, so the notion of using this as a building material was not alien to many settlers.**

Not a great sky, was hoping for a lot more detail and interest.
That said - was really windy, and as a result the water has a lot of largish waves for what is normally a very calm river.
