Argynnis Paphia , Nymphalidae Butterfly : Pentax-K1 + smcPentax-DA*300mm f/4 EDIFSDM , AFspot

A bough of autumnal colours.

The droplet rises like a pillar of fire, caught in a surreal moment where liquid defies gravity. The interplay of red hues makes it feel like a flame frozen in time, a reminder that even chaos can be beautifully structured.

Vibrant Crimson

A new and fresh start to a new year in the woodlands.

While trying to take some macro pictures of a Mexican Bird of Paradise we noticed a young grasshopper who had made a home among the flowers. As you can see in this image he blends perfectly into his surroundings.

Talwara Village, Lahore border

Vibrantly bright green parakeet, frequently found in woodland, parks, gardens, where feeds mainly in trees. Nests in cavities, including holes in buildings. Easily overlooked if quiet, as the bright green plumage blends easily with foliage. Note the very long slender tail, bright red bill; male has narrow black-and-rose neck ring. Closely resembles larger Alexandrine Parakeet, which has a wine-red patch on each shoulder. Like other parakeets, raucous and social, often appearing in noisy groups. Native to Africa and South Asia, introduced locally in Europe and Japan. (eBird)

Detail of my softshell jacket.

“Softshell” is a class of knit or woven materials, made from polyester and nylon, used to make technical outdoor clothing that essentially bridges the gap between waterproof hardshell jackets and highly breathable fleece jackets. They’re more breathable (but less water and wind resistant), more flexible, and generally more durable than hardshell materials, and more protective than fleece. - See more at: www.backcountry.com/explore/what-the-hell-is-softshell#st...

In September, Nebraska’s sunsets transform into breathtaking spectacles, amplified by the dramatic presence of thunderstorms and supercells. As summer’s heat begins to wane, the Great Plains remain a hotbed for dynamic weather, with warm, moist air clashing against cooler fronts to create vibrant, fiery skies. The sun dips below the horizon, painting the vast Nebraska landscape in hues of orange, pink, and purple, often intensified by towering cumulonimbus clouds. These clouds, illuminated by the fading light, glow with an ethereal quality, their edges tinged with gold as the sun’s rays refract through the atmosphere. The open plains offer an unobstructed view, making the interplay of light and storm clouds a daily masterpiece, where the sinking sun seems to set the sky ablaze against the silhouette of distant fields.

 

For those in rural areas, watching a September supercell at sunset is an unforgettable experience. The air grows heavy with the scent of rain, and the distant rumble of thunder provides a soundtrack to the visual spectacle. Farmers and storm chasers alike pause to witness the sky’s drama, knowing that these storms can bring both vital rain and potential destruction to the region’s corn and soybean fields. The fleeting moments when the sun’s last rays pierce through breaks in the storm clouds create a sense of timelessness, connecting the observer to the raw, untamed spirit of the Plains. In Nebraska, September sunsets paired with thunderstorms and supercells are not just weather events—they’re a vivid reminder of nature’s ability to inspire wonder and respect in equal measure.

The Saffron-crowned Tanager (Tangara xanthocephala) is a breathtaking subject, and capturing it at La Minga Ecolodge near Cali, Colombia, was a rewarding challenge. This Andean gem, perched elegantly on a mossy branch, stands out with its vivid saffron-yellow crown and iridescent turquoise plumage. The soft, diffused light filtering through the cloud forest canopy provided an ideal setting to highlight the bird’s intricate feather details and the rich textures of its surroundings. This image represents the delicate balance of nature and the beauty of photographing wildlife in its natural habitat.

 

For this shot, I used the Canon RF 100-500mm lens at its maximum focal length of 500mm, allowing me to capture the tanager from a respectful distance without disturbing its behavior. A shutter speed of 1/500 sec froze the subtle movements of the bird, while an aperture of f/6.7 ensured a creamy background that isolates the subject beautifully. ISO 800 balanced the low light conditions, retaining vibrant colors and sharp details. These technical choices reflect my approach to bird photography—blending precision and respect for the natural world to create images that tell a story.

HAPPY DAY TO ALL!

This is my first photo in this weeks Macro Mondys theme of Vibrant Minimalism

I am so behind posting my photos on Flickr but it wasn’t until the other day I realised just how far behind I am . . . images going back to March last year that I haven’t posted or processed and so the attempt to catch up begins . . . currently having little or no home internet will make the task a little more difficult . . . but there’s nothing like a challenge.

 

This was taken last November on a weekend spent down the coast in Apollo Bay where a neighbour's garden was overflowing with vibrant colour and these beautiful protea varieties called Leucospermum which is a bit of a mouthful, but their colour and shape are divine!

 

I spent so much time sitting and laying on the footpath in front of their house (which appeared vacant) that a neighbour opposite wandered over . . . at first I thought he was going to ask me if I was casing the place but he too was a photographer and gave me some tips on other local sights I might be interested in photographing.

 

Thank you so much in advance for all of your lovely comments which are appreciated so much especially when I am unable to spend much time commenting at present.

City Hall

San Francisco, California

After debuting at Lego World Utrecht past week, here it is for all of you as well!

 

The entrance has been sitting on my desk over the past 2-3 years, but I finally turned it into the kind of castle I wanted to make.

 

It was fun playing around with the colours and balancing the pirates and cyberpunk elements into a good and balanced composition.

 

This one was really fun to work on and to see it come together, although I might have damaged my eyes again with all the neon yellow (And yes, most of it is not visible in the photo..)

 

anyway, it has been some time sinceI finished a build, but hopefully the next one will be here a bit quicker!

 

Enjoy my crazy brain again hihi

  

Love y'all

Egg yolk on a mirror. Thanks Macro Mondays for the challenge

In early Summer the foliage and vegetation in our woodlands can look incredible especially after rain. The fresh leaves produce wonderful vibrant and punchy greens which tend to fade away and darken down as Summer marches on. This image is taken at a secluded and hidden little valley which I like to think of as the Isle of Man’s very own rainforest. Obviously, that’s a bit of a descriptive stretch but it’s as close as we get here on our little island! This was a challenging shot to get right requiring 5 different blended images to manage the high dynamic range, depth of field and low light conditions. A little slice of paradise! 🌳🌿👌

 

Watch how I captured this image @ youtu.be/o60JsRevotw

A vibrant red - yellow tulip, of the Rembrandt variety, I believe. They exist in several colour combinations.

This is a composite of 12 images shot through a lightbox for focus stacking.

Decided to bring my camera along while walking the dog this morning and was pleased to grab this shot during our journey.

 

Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.
