while documenting the most recent texas freeze, i decided to use a straight out of camera fuji recipe that i've been cooking up, trying to simulate 70s motion picture film with a moderately heavy color shift and high contrast. based on pro neg high.

The Steamrail Victoria/Elecrail Preserved Tait set arrives into Upfield after a leisurely around half an hour trip from Flinders Street on a Member's Special.
This is the first time a Tait EMU has been north of Batman to Upfield in 18 years, the first time after their hiatus from the mainline.
While walking around the South Tufa area at Mono Lake with a view looking to the northwest to tufa towers and other formations present.

While I was at the beach with my sisters, I watched a pair of Osprey fly up and down the shore each day.
They were usually a bit far for me to get a shot, but once in a while, they came a bit closer.
Color not adjusted.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! :)
While on a hike around Sassolungo we were greeted by this giant wooden bull the size of a big truck just outside Friedrich August mountain hut. I just loved it.

The Galápagos penguin (Spheniscus mendiculus) is a penguin endemic to the Galápagos Islands. It is the only penguin that lives north of the equator in the wild. It can survive due to the cool temperatures resulting from the Humboldt Current and cool waters from great depths brought up by the Cromwell Current.
While ninety percent of the Galápagos penguins live among the western islands of Fernandina and Isabela, they also occur on Santiago, Bartolomé, northern Santa Cruz, and Floriana. The northern tip of Isabela crosses the equator, meaning that some Galápagos penguins live the northern hemisphere, the only penguins to do so.
The species is endangered, with an estimated population size of around 1,500 individuals in 2004, according to a survey by the Charles Darwin Research Station. The population underwent an alarming decline of over 70% in the 1980s but is slowly recovering. It is therefore the rarest penguin species (a status which is often falsely attributed to the yellow-eyed penguin).
Population levels are influenced by the effects of the El Niño Southern Oscillation, which reduces the availability of shoaling fish, leading to low reproduction or starvation. However, anthropogenic factors (e.g. oil pollution, fishing by-catch and competition) may be adding to the ongoing demise of this species. On Isabela Island, cats, dogs, and rats attack penguins and destroy their nests. When in the water, they are preyed upon by sharks, fur seals, and sea lions. – Wikipedia
While on my way to work I noticed the tail of a CP EB clearing thru Lovekin and made a quick detour at Westlyville. The morning fog mixed with the late sunrise made for abit of interest to an otherwise boring train.

OCTOBER FEST - THE AWARD TREE Challenge #208
While everyone was fascinated by some peacocks that came by close, I looked up and saw this interested fellow. He was looking down on the tourists beneath him. Deep in my devilish mind I hoped for a little funny accident - if you know what I mean.
Shot on the wonderful Castelo de São Jorge in Lisbon Portugal.
While in Yellowstone, I captured this herd of bison during a rainstorm. Every so often they would shake their massive heads violently to get the rain off. Their eyes would roll back, and water would go flying in every direction.
Yellowstone National Park, WY
While at an overlook to Sunwapta Falls with a view looking upstream and to the northeast. This is located along the Icefields Parkway in Jasper National Park. With this image I wanted to capture a wide-angle view as the waters raged on by to the nearby waterfall. I liked how the river flowed around that island with the evergreen tree and decided to center that in the image. The waters would flow on by helping to almost channelized the view. I also like how the nearby mountainside and more distant ridges and peaks added a backdrop for this setting in the Canadian Rockies.
A while back, I posted a description of magpies raiding a red squirrel's nest that contained a cache of peanuts that people had been feeding it (www.flickr.com/photos/40724294@N04/53278643498). This is what attracted my attention to that activity. Magpies were flying out of a small stand of trees with peanuts, but there were no other people around. A while after taking this image, I went to investigate and took the pictures in the composite linked to above. I've always liked this dorsal view of the bird, so I pulled it from the archive to share.
While I did add a strong vignette, that ghostly light from the gazebo is just as the camera saw it. Seen on the grounds of Ashford Castle, Co. Mayo Ireland.
* While it might still be winter officially, both the garden and the countryside are showing clear signs that Spring is here.. We found this nice group of wild aconites and snowdrops in the Rifle Butts quarry near Goodmanham on February 3rd
I went there again today lots of snowdrops but the aconites had finished just two weeks
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT
While visiting my sister in Victoria, Texas April 2021 we did some touring of wineries that were close by. Along the way we stopped on the roadside when we saw a potential photo shoot. The wineries of course had their own scenic landscapes with the grape vines and the river close by.

While being in a bird watching hut and looking out for interesting birds, this little barn swallow had a visit to us. It was watching us curiously and had this cute expression - isn't it lovely?
Sunday morning while walking around Brazos Bend SP I stumbled across the worst kept secret in Texas. A large group of Wood Storks was roosting at Elm Lake and everyone was excited. Unfortunately for me I started at 40 Acre Lake and didn’t make it to Elm until the light was getting harsh. I made the best of it that I was capable of and planned to come back later for better light. Well, as is so often the case I never saw them there again since despite making several more visits.

With an impressive GP60, SD40-2, SD40E set on the point, NS P94 rumbles upgrade through Lexington in gorgeous afternoon light on the final approach to Linwood. Fast forward 5 years and change and the Dixie plant has been demolished, P94 no longer operates, the yard at Linwood closed, and solid sets of old EMDs moving heavy tonnage on the mainline are next to impossible to find.
While trying to spot a weird sounding warbler, I heard this bird singing up the road a tiny bit from where I was. Knowing that it was a very good bird, I immediately left the unknown warbler and tracked this guy down. I got some great shots, but this one was my favorite. It looks so cute in it! Within about 20 minutes of getting the word out, 10 birder had shown up to try and find it. Took a while, but just as I was leaving it was refound at the same general spot where I had it.
While walking the Osha Trail in Lincoln National Forest with a view looking to the west. I decided to use the hiking trail leading into the forest as a leading line into the image. The view of this captured image is a turned around one from where I had just hiked along the mountainside in this part of the national forest.
While not as scenic as Wahclella Falls, Munra Falls gives you the opportunity to literally "reach out and touch" as you cross the footbridge while heading upstream of Tanner Creek.
Unfortunately this scenic beauty was hit by the 2017 Eagle Creek Fire and it will most likely be years before the area is returned to something close to the condition captured here during one of my 2015 photo adventures.
Located outside of Portland, Oregon in the Columbia River Gorge.
Constructive criticism always appreciated.
While in self quarantine for a few days, I grabbed some of my old SD cards and edited a few images. This image from 2014 is making it's way into my "Digital Canvas" series. Big snow is coming so I'm hoping to feel better and photograph some awesome wintery images. To all of my followers and friends that view my images, thank you very much. Your eyes gazing down my stream all always appreciated.
EDIT; so sorry for putting this image in my Pentax groups, posting my images are so automatic! This image was captured with a Canon PowerShot 135.
while we were in NY, the neighborhood deer had their way with our frontyard bush - they definitely gave it a haircut! HBW!
While many trees are still surprisingly green here after an extremely dry summer, the American sweetgum (Latin: Liquidamber styraciflua, German: Amerikanischer Amberbaum) shows off its gorgeous fall foliage.
The sweetgum has a Nahuatl (Aztec) name - Ocotzocuahuitl, which translates to tree that gives pine resin from ocotl (pine), tzotl (resin), cuahuitl (tree), which refers to the use of the tree's resin.
Der Lebensraum des Amerikanischen Amberbaums erstreckt sich von New York bis Nicaragua. Bei Verwundung tritt am Baum ein Saft aus, der früher in den USA zur Kaugummiherstellung genutzt wurde – daher stammt die gängige Bezeichnung „American Sweetgum“.

Time slips through our fingers,
like water in a cracked glass.
We wait for the minutes to settle,
but they never do.
Yesterday is a shadow
in the corner of today,
a ghost that lingers
in the dimming light,
its whispers etched
on the diaries of memory.
And tomorrow is a tide,
pulling the present toward its shore,
never stopping, never still,
yet always just beyond reach—
a promise, a mirage,
woven from the threads of longing.
The clock hands march,
relentless as fate,
while we chase the echoes
of moments already lost,
and dream of those
not yet born.

While Venus Line leads to the highland plateau of Utsukuchigahara, there is another road called Azalea Line that branches off from Venus Line to Matsumoto city. It is a refurbished logging road and named after the flowers that blooms in early summer along the road.
Karamatsu or Japanese larch trees, which were almost withered in Kirigamine, were at their best of colouring when I passed by. The mountain is part of Utsukushigahara volcano.
Among the hiking I found this place.

A picturesque tall white-harled house on the north side of the junction between Back Causeway and The Cross in Culross (W FIfe), The Study dates from c.1610. This is said to be where Bishop Leighton of Dunblane (1611-84), who lived nearby in Bishop Leighton's House, composed his sermons. Built as a merchant's house, next to Culross Palace one of the finest in Culross, the building was acquired by the National Trust for Scotland in the 1930s. It was renovated by Ian G. Lindsay and Partners in 1959, winning a Civic Trust Award in 1962. The Study is now A-listed and is open to the public for guided tours.
The building is L-plan and comprises a three-storey main block, with a tower facing the street which rises higher. This contains a turnpike stair, with the upper stage corbelled out and containing the actual study. The orange pantiled roofs feature crow-stepped gables and catslide dormers. The windows to the front feature lattice leadwork and wooden shutters below, allowing the windows to open. Inside there are original fireplaces and timber panelling, while the beamed ceiling of the first-floor room is a reconstruction of the 1960s, brightly painted with fruit and flowers in homage to its 17th century forerunner.
RKO_8080. Fascinating interaction between an adult (male) kingfisher and some juveniles. Both demanding for more fish and even eager (demanding) to collect the sushi while still flying.
Weather conditions: rainy and partly cloudy.

The lilac-breasted roller (Coracias caudatus) is an African bird of the roller family, Coraciidae. It is widely distributed in Southern and Eastern Africa, and is a vagrant to the southern Arabian Peninsula. It prefers open woodland and savanna, and it is for the most part absent from treeless places. Usually found alone or in pairs, it perches at the tops of trees, poles or other high vantage points from where it can spot insects, amphibians and small birds moving about on the ground. Nesting takes place in a natural hole in a tree where a clutch of 2–4 eggs are laid, and incubated by both parents, who are extremely aggressive in defence of their nest, taking on raptors and other birds. During the breeding season the male will rise to a fair height (69 to 144 metres), descending in swoops and dives, while uttering harsh, discordant cries. The sexes do not differ in coloration, and juveniles lack the long tail streamers of adults. This species is unofficially considered the national bird of Kenya. Alternative names for the lilac-breasted roller include the fork-tailed roller, lilac-throated roller (also used for a subspecies of purple roller) and Mosilikatze's roller.
Dieser Schnappschuss hatte ich heute Abend bei meiner Hunderrunde im Wald auf die Schnelle mit meinem Handy machen können. Wie sagt man doch so schön? "Die beste Kamera ist immer die, die man gerade dabei hat" :-))
While walking along the berm by the boardwalk I could hear the distinctive call of a red-wing.
The Celery Fields in Sarasota, FL
While there have been many attempts to recreate the process of flying, none have come closer to paragliding.
Switzerland is often thought of as heaven on earth due to its mesmerizing and spectacular views. Looking at this paradise while soaring in the sky is an extraordinary experience.
People who’ve done it describe the experience as fascinating and almost like being a bird.
I'm happy enough just by photographing them from afar 😊; having a zoom lens would have been wonderful but not possible when traveling light.
(There are two paraglides in this photo.)
Thank you for having a look, dear Flickr friend, I wish you a fine day!🌹🌷🌺
