A sanderling stops and poses in the early morning light.
We are planning a trip to the Monterey/Big Sur area of California in mid-May and I was wondering if there are some wildlife and birding hot spots that you have visited and would be willing to share.
Thanks for all of your help, comments and views! Have a great week!
On Good Friday we remember the day Jesus willingly suffered and died by crucifixion as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins (1 John 1:10). It is followed by Easter, the glorious celebration of the day Jesus was raised from the dead

The Cedar Waxwing was calling from this single open branch. Often feeding in trees with fruit or blossoms, this one took an open spot and allowed me to grab a few shots.

Got this texture from ishkamina who's so awesome to share an entire folder filled with free textures. Bless those so willing to share :-)
One of the prettiest mountain drives awaits you if you travel the SR479 to Sulmona, panoramic scenes and small untouristed villages wait patiently to be discovered by those willing to brave the roads to see them, depicted here is one my favorites along the way Scanno. Scanno is known as the village of photographers with the likes of Hilde Lotz-Bauer, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Mario Giacomelli, Renzo Tortelli, Gianni Berengo Gardin, Ferdinando Scianna, Mario Cresci all having taken famous shots here. While my shots may not be famous I famously enjoyed taking them and would highly recommend a stop here as well as in neighboring Villalago if you still have any storage space after Scanno.

I never tire from photographing these berries that willingly change their colours with the season, an aspect of nature that is enveloped in mystery and beauty. Have a wonderful day.
Macro Mondays: Windowsill.
We are like the cut flower: created beautiful, yet because of our sin, 'cut' off from the true giver of life. The windowsill and sunshine is likened to a desert for the flower, for there it will quickly wilt and fade away.
Yet God longs to bring us life! Much like the artist, He knows exactly where to renew us first, and where His brush strokes, beauty comes into absolute clarity.
Are you willing to allow the Master to bring new life into you?

T'was the night before Christmas
he lived all alone
In a one bedroom house made of plaster and stone
I had come down the chimney with
presents to give
and to see just who in this dweling did
live
I looked all around a strange site to
see
No tinsel, no presents, not even a
tree
No stockings on the mantle just boots filled
with sand
On the wall hung pictures of far
distant lands
Medals and Badges, Awards every
kind
A sobering thought came alive in my
mind
This house was different, it was
dark, it was deary
I had found the home of a
soldier
I could see that most clearly
The soldier lie sleeping, silent, alone
Curled up on the floor in this one
bedroom home
His face was so gentle, the room in
such disorder
Not at all how I pictured a
United States Soldier
Was this the hero of whom I'd just read
Curled up on a poncho, the floor for
a bed
Then I realized the other families
that I saw on this night
Hold their lives to soldiers, who are
willing to fight
In the morning around the
world, the children would play
Grown-ups would celebrate a bright
Christmas Day
But they all enjoy freedom each
month of the year
Because of soldiers like the one lying
here
I couldn't help but wonder, how many
lay alone?
On a cold Christmas Eve in lands far
from home
The very thought brought a tear to my
eye
I dropped to my knees and I
started to cry
The soldier awakened, I heard his
ruff voice
Santa don't cry, this life is my
choice...
...I fight for freedom, I don't ask for
more...
...My life is my God, my country, my
core
The soldier rolled over and drifted to
sleep
But I couldn't control it and I
continued to weep
I kept watch for hours... so silent and
still
as both of us shivered from the cold
nights chill
I didn't want to leave him on that cold
dark night
This guardian of honor, so willing to
fight
then the soldier rolled over with a
voice soft and pure
He whispered Carry on Santa, it's
Christmas Day...
...all secure One look at my watch
and I knew he was right
Merry Christmas my friend, may God
Bless you this night

My sister, Wans2pics www.flickr.com/photos/wans2pics/ has been taking a liking to my new style, so this one is for her!

Because this Blue Tiger Butterfly stayed on the Cornflower for a long time, I had the opportunity to look for various background colours. The purple halo comes from a Brunfelsia flower.
Sunrise at Sanur Beach, Bali. If I could ask for a tip from anyone willing to share - the sun over the boat is massively over exposed and I'm unsure of how to address this issue. The photo was already taken at a pretty high shutter speed 1/2000. Is this just a limitation of my phone? Or perhaps I need a filter of some kind? I tried my best to do something in post but couldn't hit a sweet spot. Any feedback is greatly appreciated, thank you.
Flowing with a passion after days of heavy rain. Quite often choked with debris, it seems to have had a clean out of late. Very happy to have some weather sealed gear for this - we got wet and then some. Thanks Michael for being willing to get a soaking for a shot.
Columbines are hardy flowers that grow in a range of adverse conditions up to an elevation of 9000 ft, therefore they’re symbols of endurance, perseverance and the willingness to take risks.
It’s Aleksey Navalny’s birthday today.
С днём рождения, Алексей. Свободы, здоровья и сил.
(And please, no sandwich jokes… all questionable aspects aside, the man has more guts than pretty much all of his fellow citizens combined.)
and always willing to pose even at 20+ years old!
When my daughter was around 8-10 years old (she's now 31)... she wanted this tiny little plant that was in a small clay pot to keep in her room.... and she named it Harold.
Years later, she went off to collage and I cared for him... he has branched off and also graduated into a larger clay pot!!
My Flickr friends know that Sethi isn't a very willing poser (understatement !) but when I said that this week's Happy Caturday theme was "I'm simply perfect" he happily allowed me to take a series of photos. :) I post this a day early because I don't have any other cat photos I could post today. Happy Caturday !
Turned out that I had to remove this from the Happy Caturday group as it is a collage. And I was so happy that I managed all these photos of the perfect Sethi ... 😢
It's not easy to find willing photo models, not even at the zoo. Most animals aren't really fond of cameras. The pelicans are an exception as most of the time they even love to pose for photos.
Knowing you are there,
present and willing to lift me up
when I'm feeling down,
lets me know I'm not alone and
fills my heart with gratitude and love.
Thank you honey for always being there for me.

I'm so grateful for some of my Flickr friends, so willing to share incredibly talented musicians with me!!! Matthew just shared with me this renowned pianist, Glenn Gould's link with me... Beautiful!!! I'm so in love with his music, and going to figure out more about him once I get back to my computer.

My sister made this cork board for me. It is enclosed in an old picture frame and looks beautiful. I obviously was more than willing to help with contributing the corks from drinking wine.
Today the Cities favorite Piebald Deer was in a very good mood and willing to participate in an extended photo shoot. He is quite handsome and nicknamed Pie.
I'm willing to put in the hours, very reliable, good at making coffee, and love taking good care of the Boss. When can i start?
Tofu is generally a very cooperative cat but his willingness to cooperate ends as soon as I need to get hold of him for whatever reason and he knows it. In such moments he tends to disappear deep in the greenery of the garden which forces me to crawl under shrubs and through the mud to reach him while Tofu just sits there and watches me. As soon as I'm close enough to catch him Tofu will (of course) dart past me and find another hideout. That kind of "game" can go on for quite a while, it's very funny for Tofu and rather exasperating for me. :)
Posted for the happy Caturday theme "Exasperating".
She was willing to pose as long as I kept my distance, Being a gentleman I obliged. Moments later, she flew away

This Great Egret was willing to pose while I observed and photographed it perched in the pile of driftwood that has become lodged in the middle of Horsepen Bayou. I finally backed away and allowed him to enjoy his peace and quiet.
I might add that this is not the norm and that most of these large birds depart when you approach them. It was a bit unusual for this one to stick around.
