This shot was captured the same day as the previous upload (the Trillium closeup). Perhaps it will help put that flower, which was among those shown in the clump to the right of the road, into context for you.

Thanks to all who visit, fave, comment, and extend invitations. Your support is much appreciated. I will be sure to visit your work, too

52 weeks in 2016 ... down low ...

... this was quite the challenge ... Drift would nót lie still as I was flat on my belly (not something we're used to haha) and I wanted the shot at f 1.4 for the bokeh and that's kinda difficult if your dog is constantly moving or coming towards you ... but we did it !

This was its favorite perch and would eventually return to it, after several tries I finally got it landing with a fish. Since it was distant it has a fair crop to the image.

Thanks D for your help it is working again I can now save in jpeg..

This was my first time to set my alarm clock to 4:50 AM on a sunday morning. I really wanted to take a picutre of this beautiful place on sunrise. As it turned out, I wasn't the only one with this intention. About ten other photographers were already there :-)

Here I met Eric Jacob (ej foto) who is also an Olympus photographer! Thank you for the nice conversation and the exchange of knowledge. Hope to hear more from you soon.

I made a lot of photos this morning. This one is made of a set of HDR photos, stitched together to a panorama. Hope you like it!

I think these are painted turtles; if I'm wrong, please correct me.

Thanks for your visit and comments, much appreciated!🙋‍♀️

Was a beautiful day.. I love this time of year..

Could not resist to preserve this arrangement. It was cold outside and these chairs are metal, so no point in hanging around for anyone to sit down. One day I´ll start shooting pictures with people in them. What else is there that is interesting really?

*Mashallah*

PS : she's a baby girl :)

..it was Saturday, about 7am, i'd been on the streets since 3am ...and I found myself on Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, the day was just breaking and two young guys passed by ... on their way home from a Friday night out .. they stopped for a chat, they were friendly, knowledgable around the camera and genuinely interested in what I was doing.

Hope you like the pic guys ...

The Bressanone (Brixen) Cathedral was built in 980. Eventually, after two fires, the Romanesque design with its three naves and two front towers was constructed (around 1200). A Baroque design was later constructed in 1745-1754.

The Bressanone Cathedral's cloister is one of the most important monuments of art in South Tyrol. The cloister is famous in particular for its Gothic frescoes. It was originally built in pre Romanesque times but later redesigned in Romanesque and Gothic style.

A cloister (from Latin claustrum, "enclosure") is a covered walk, open gallery, or open arcade running along the walls of a building.

The attachment of a cloister to a cathedral or church usually indicates that it was part of a monastic foundation forming a continuous and solid architectural barrier that effectively separated the world of the monks from that of the serfs and workmen, whose lives and works went on outside and around the cloister.

Schokland with its surroundings symbolizes the history of the Netherlands and the lives of people on the border between water and land. For this reason, in 1995, UNESCO placed the area of more than 1,300 hectares as the first Dutch monument on the prestigious World Heritage List. Museum Schokland provides a fascinating insight into the history of this former island in the Zuiderzee and what preceded it.

The Schokland Museum is centrally located on this first Dutch world heritage site. The historic church from 1834 and the striking wooden museum buildings form a striking point in the modern landscape of the Noordoostpolder.

while it was still dark we had gone to a simple bird hide to be there before the flocks of Meyer's parrots and African green pigeons arrive at the clay eating site at sunrise.

While we were waiting we heard some noise behind us and after a while we knew these were warthogs ( definitely safer than some other possibilities...)

The family of warthogs came closer and had picked up our scent but they had no clue where we were.

The huge male in this image was walking in front and stopped nearby to look in our direction.

You can clearly see both set of tusks of which the very sharp small ones are used for fighting other warthogs or for defense against predators. The larger ones are used for digging etc.

I was at my daughter's house last night and these raccoons came to the door, probably looking for food and warmth. Suddenly they both stood up at the same time, as though pleading. I took this shot handheld through the window - it was below freezing outside.

My photo outing got cancelled today and has been postponed to Friday, but with the below freezing temperatures and black ice on the roads, I have a feeling it won't be happening.

Foto wurde durch meine Frau aufgenommen, mit ihrer Ausrüstung -Canon 100-400 L IS II USM, Canon EOS80D - Im Eberswalder Zoo ist es immer eine Herausforderug gute Fotos zu machen, Viele hohe Bäume erschweren das Fotografieren, aber bei hohen Temeraturen ist es dort auszuhalten

This beautiful CANADIAN flew by me within a meter...the sound, the energy, the speed...the rush I felt was staggering...it was only for a few seconds...wow...and then it was gone..."STUNNING"...

Yeah, and a Happy Fucking Valentine's Day to you, too.

I want you to hold out the palm of your hand

Why don't we leave it at that?

It was definitely worth getting up for sunrise that morning. Thankfully I didn’t need to climb the 199 steps for this capture, we were staying at the YHA next to Whitby Abbey 😂 Not a chance in hell of managing those steps before lunch time!

Heading back to Whitby this weekend for a much needed week away. Managed to find a late booking still available, thankfully.

This will be my last post until we return, hopefully with some half decent images and in a better place, mentally. Thank you all for your support during a very difficult few months.

Happy Easter, dear friends. 🐑🐰❤️

I was looking over my photos to see which one I could post, and looking at this one just kind of relaxed me while I was looking at it. So, I dusted it off and cleaned it up and posted it.

Have a great Sunday

so much like stars

filling the dark trees

that one could easily imagine

its reason for being was nothing more

than prettiness.”

I was fortunate enough to see a number of reticulated giraffes when I was in northern Kenya last month. With only about 15 000 animals left in the wild, these are rare animals that can only be found in northern Kenyan parks like Ol Pejeta and Samburu. This particular animal was on the move in the early evening.

It was a sunny, cold morning (12 deg F) and the pier was covered in ice and snow. The footing got more dangerous and icy the further out I walked. I was wearing ice cleats on my boots so, No Problem.

We don´t see light we are light.

and we´re spreading light.

Where light shines through

it´s something thin and fragile

But only that way can the light get in...

There are places to go where your spirits are never dampened. Look for those places.
