A migratory turnstone spends the winter on a tropical beach exploring hermatypic calcareous fragments for tasty invertebrates that may be sheltering beneath. The turnstone gets its common name from its foraging behavior of using it bill to turn stones and probe the sand for food. This one fattens up for the impending spring departure to Alaska, a journey of 3,000+ non-stop miles over the north Pacific. Arenaria interpres, breeding plumage.
One of the few birch leaves that still has a good amount of green. They really are beautiful and wondrous. They are actually act as lungs for the trees in the summer and let go in the winter after doing their important job of collecting light.
An example of a tree that started to turn in early September, then stopped when the heat returned. It lost the top leaves in that process. Now the cooler weather has restarted the changing process. Five exposure HDR processed with Nik HDR Efex Pro 2
Took this last year in NZ at Lake Wanaka, fairly famous and much photographed tree.
Wanted to give this a faintly japanese look. Hope it came off.
The birds sat in this tree overnight and took off not long after this shot to catch grubs and food i guess :-)
Thanks for looking.

This light fixture at a local restaurant caught my eye. I could see the reflection of a table and chairs in the bottom of it. I flipped the photo for a better view.
The berries are starting to turn red, as autumn approaches.
I'm still checking out the differences with the F/F K-1. Here I wanted to see what the depth of field and noise is like at slightly higher ISO.
Depth of field is nice, and there is certainly less noise than the crop sensor cameras?
The colours straight out of camera are pleasant as well.

Carmine skimmer Costa Rica ( I think it's pink but not sure as I'm colour blind) Not often I get one turning it's head in flight
Q241 turns south from west to head for Louisville. KY at Deshler with a pair of C40-8 variants and an SD40-2. A lucky hole in the clouds allowed for a decently lit scene as they pass under the former B&O cantilever here.
The crew of the 0700 Hamilton Yard Job prepares to head down to Parkdale Warehousing with three boxcars. GP38-2 7524, one of CN's hump service conversions, has been fitted with temporary ditch lights for its venture outside the yard.
This caught my eye when I was just leaving Attenborough Nature Reserve on my way home shortly after viewing sunset. Attenborough Nature reserve is located between Beeston and Long Eaton on the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire border.
