A lovely ride out late afternoon resulted in this highlight of a lone stag near the Loch side.

Many thanks to all those who take the time to comment on my photos. It is truly appreciated.

I'm off to see if there'll be a sunrise this morning in the Brecon Beacons. I guess Pen y Fan will be too busy so I'll go elsewhere. During a snow shower on my last visit I noticed these beautiful receding ridges beyond Cribyn. It's quite understated and calming , a nice change for me. Velvet snow is by Kings of Leon, and that was the first title i saw this morning when I opened my playlist.

Velvet shanks (Flammulina velutipes) with their slimy vivid golden-orange tops saturated with water in never ending rain. Lansdown Racecourse, near Bath, Somerset, England

Achillea millefolium 'Red Velvet', at Bodnant Garden, Wales.

Not sure what this is called but it sure feels like velvet.

I was "playing" with photoshop again this afternoon, sometimes it takes me hours to get something I kind of like, this however was a very quick effort and only took minutes :-)

Try it ~'LARGE On Black~

 

Have a great weekend everyone, I am going to be away again, going to our country hut again, hopefully there won't be any flat tyres this time :-)

Mutillidae (AKA Velvet Ants) are a family of more than 7,000 species of wasps whose wingless females resemble large, hairy ants. Their common name velvet ant refers to their dense pile of hair, which most often is bright scarlet or orange, but may also be black, white, silver, or gold.

I've only seen one other one but it was a few years ago and it was much smaller than this one. This one was probably only about 6mm long. Photographed at Lake Waterford Park in Maryland.

One of six Roe deer I saw on the levels today...

Transitional whitetail buck hangin' out in some plush meadow habitat.

There were so many birds everywhere in Las Gallinas. This Heron was sitting at the edge of the bank. We are always pleased to see the Green Heron as they can be hard to spot at first. Whereas larger herons tend to stand prominently in open parts of wetlands, Green Herons tend to be at the edges, in shallow water, or concealed in vegetation. The Green Heron is a dark, stocky bird hunched on slender yellow legs at the water’s edge, often hidden behind a tangle of leaves. Seen up close, it is a striking bird with a velvet-green back, rich chestnut body, and a dark cap often raised into a short crest.

Thank you all who fave and comment on my photo'/video's,much appreciated.And thank you all for looking.

Male Velvet Scoter near Musselburgh

I believe this is a red velvet mite. I found it hiding under a rotten log at Cromwell Valley Park in Maryland this morning.

There were three other bucks grazing Willows in this meadow near the Tioga Pass entrance.

A lovely looking buck showing off his velvet covered antlers the other evening, he was in the company of two does amongst tall vegetation of the watermeadows.I had to wait for patiently for him to step into the sunlight where he then stood proudly for me for a few moments.

4th times a charm. This was my 4th try at editing this image. Everything was so utterly and frustratingly sensitive to simple changes/adjustments. I was looking to make the sky more dramatic but it wasn't happening. On the fourth try, I kept it simple. Contrast and sharpness adjustments only. No messing with colors (seriously). Lesson learned for me. Keep simple scenes simple. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

I have been struggling to convince myself, at times, to go out and shoot certain areas. Cataloochee Valley is one of those locations. As I pushing against my comfort zones in photography I went out with conflict, Sunrise, or Wildlife. I could, technically of shot both I know, but switching lenses, breaking composition to shoot an interesting animal, or swapping from mindsets is a bit difficult for me. Because of the heavy fog, I determined that I wanted to try and get interesting compositions of these Elk wandering and grazing before they ultimately retreated into the woods.. This is an example of what I did.
