When photographing birds, I try to get a profile shot so the shape of the beak can be seen; even more so with a bird like this Rose-Breasted Grosbeak. Her enormous bill is quite imposing, but I liked this head on shot for a different look. Her expression seemed so sweet.

When I photographed this event three years ago, this shot was overlooked because the background was so busy with boat shed, docks and boat that the action was not well seen. Now, with extra time on my hands and better processing skills to clear the distracting background, the action is clear. That was one lucky trout and an unlucky Osprey.
When you enter the Dutch national park The Veluwezoom, the sings kindly ask you to keep your distance from the animals, that are allowed to roam freely. But what if the horses doesn’t keep their distance to you! I was photographing a tree, when I suddenly noticed an impressive horse behind the bushes. I scared a bit, and saw even more horses appear through the fog and they came really close. They didn’t seem to bother at all about my presence, and eventually I decided to just go on with what I already was doing, make photographs! This little one kept coming closer and this gave me the opportunity to make this shot at 40mm. I was the only one around at the time, and felt a bit relieved when the horses finally moved on. But I have to admit that I also felt blessed by this almost magical encounter, the literally came out of nowhere, and for that moment where I almost felt a connection with the animals and the environment. I think I’ve said this before, but through photography I had many experiences which I normally would have missed. It really lets me live in the moment and that’s only one of the major benefits. Well, who am I speaking to? You already know of course!
Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!
When they talk about pearls, I guess these aren't the ones ladies have in mind... but they sure would want them as reflective eh?

Every night before I slept I prayed as I wept
l for the angels to grant me just one wish I guess this was too much to ask First the weeks came then months passed
held on to memories of your words
which went like this
When I miss you
And you're so far away
I just close my eyes
And I can see your face
When I miss you
And you're so far away
I just close my eyes
And I can see your face
I guess that now you'll never know
How much I could have loved you so
In my heart your name remains
A prayer song
In time when things were made to last
History repeats the past
I'll be waiting you'll return
'Til then I'm strong
When I miss you
And you're so far away
I just close my eyes
And I can see your face
When I miss you
The darkness in your eyes
Talks of so much love
You used to feel for me inside
No one can ever love
You babe the way I've done
'Cause I see right through your eyes
Close my eyes
you are mine
When I miss you
When I miss you
And you're so far away
I just close my eyes
And I can see your face
When I miss you
The darkness in your eyes
Talks of so much love
You used to feel for me inside

King of road racing and Queen of elegance. This 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Lungo Berlinetta Speciale. was built for competition (the C) and yet would transport a couple at very high speed in complete comfort and class. In many ways, the 2900B Lungo Berlinetta was the finest closed car produced in the pre-war era. Built with race-proven engineering and with a style of unsurpassed elegance, these fastback Alfas are among the finest cars in world.
On the track, the 2900 competition cars benefited from a decade of Alfa Romeo progress and became the most successful of their time. A trio of 2900As placed first-second-third at the 1936 Mille Miglia, while three specially built 2900MMs accomplished the same feat at the 1938 edition. The decision to make a road-going variant of these winning designs must have been easy.
Touring of Milan was responsible for almost the entire production of 2900B bodies and their exceptional ‘Coupé Superleggra’ or ‘Coupé Ultraleggro Aeroprofilato’ took advantage of the Lungo chassis and exaggerated it with a huge rear overhang. In total, Touring constructed only around 10 of these masterworks. The 2900 chassis was outfitted very similar to the competition cars.
The engine was similar to the Tipo B unit but was made from new castings in aluminum instead of magnesium. They retained a 10-main bearing crankshafts that sat in white metal babbits. The cylinder head was cast integral to the block with hemispherical combustion chambers and domed pistons. The valvetrain and axillary devices were all gear driven.
The men responsible for this model were engineer Vittorio Jano (designer of Alfa Romeo's P-Series Grand Prix racers and road-going sporting models) and body stylist Felice Bianchi Anderloni (founder of the coachbuilding firm Carrozzeria Touring in Milan). With the help of chief designer Aquino Gilardi, Anderloni helped pioneer Superleggera (super light) body construction. Instead of using heavy frames and rigid axles like so many other competitors, Alfa Romeo employed an intricate latticework of lightweight but rigid steel tubes that formed the framework for the elegant, hand-fashioned aluminum body shell. Shapes were tested by attaching felt strips to the body and the car was photographed while moving to record how wind flowed over and around it.
The original 8C had won LeMans 4 years straight, and this car is a barely detuned racing chassis. What a way to tour Europe!

she knows when you got snacks! Much like Santa nothing gets past her.
Leave it to Piper to put a smile on my face. She has been my bed warmer (like a hot water bottle) for the last week. When I had tears she would crawl up on my chest and lick the tears off my face. Many people have told me bad things about her breed but I have to say if it wasn't for her I might not be posting at all, she got me to lift the cam again....she really is the sweetest dog ever despite her feisty nature. As of today I had another successful journey around the sun which means more adventures in wild places for me. Stay wild everyone!
When it is snow and minus 12 degrees Celsius outside I like to look at some old pictures in warm colors from the autumn
When traveling around Arizona nearing the end of the pandemic, much of Navajo Land was still forbidden to enter. In order to see Monument Valley we had to stay at The View. This was taken from our balcony. Best view we could have had.
Half the weight of a house mouse (5g) he could navigate these grasses admirably.

When Guru went into the cat enclosure, Muse still couldn't bring himself to use the cat flap. So I opened the bedroom window to see if he would use that avenue. He watched for a long time before finally venturing out.
Mommy comforts when son is sad, While on vacation in Sedona, he ordered a special dish for dinner and when it arrived it was nothing like he expected. So, he ended up eating my hamburger and fries!
DESCRIPTION:
When we take a picture during a sunset , usually we are attracted by the bright colors we see in the west and rarely point the camera in the opposite direction, towards the east. Yet, if the condition are favorable (clear and transparent sky ) the show we would see would be just as beautiful. This photo, taken by Acireale, a city of Sicily located on a hill overlooking the Ionian Sea , wants to be a testimony. The color element that dominates and characterizes it is the pink band extended for about 20 degrees above the horizon, known as “ the belt of Venus”.
The belt of Venus is an atmospheric phenomenon due to backscattering of the red sunlight at sunset by the particles of the atmosphere that are on the opposite side of the sun.
Near the horizon, due to the shadow projected by the Earth, the belt progressively decreases in brightness and color until it disappears completely.
The phenomenon lasts a few minutes and is visible even at down, just before sunrise.
When we had our holiday home near Looe in south-east Cornwall we would often spend time on Dartmoor, enjoying the peace and quiet of the moors. One of our favourite places was Combestone Tor, which overlooks the valley of the River Dart near Hexworthy. This is perhaps the most accessible of all the tors, and is just a few dozen yards from the road to Venford Reservoir. It has stunning views across the Dart Valley, with Dartmeet just a mile or so away.
When we first arrived, I was not too sure the hotel I had picked for this part of the trip in Iceland was a real good decision ... it was quite convoluted to get there, I noticed the hotel was going through some renovation etc .... and I feared that it was going to be less than an ideal accommodation for two very tired travelers suffering from jet lag. It turned out that I was totally wrong. The hotel was extremely quiet, pleasant and comfortable... Furthermore, an employee who saw me unloading my camera gear from the vehicle was curious about what I was interested in photographing... When he found out, he offered to take me to a few nesting locations around the hotel... I did not know what to expect but I was kind of flabbergasted when he took me to this nest of the Horned Grebe... This is a pretty rare bird for Iceland. Less than 700 pairs breed in Iceland. I never expected we were going to find this bird during that trip and it was no going to be dramatic as we can fairly easily access this bird in BC. However, I felt so fortunate to have access to this nesting area in Iceland... What a great way to start a bird photography trip... Life feels so good when it puts on your path such genuinely generous people... fully disinterested who just wanted to be kind from the goodness of their heart ...sadly enough perhaps another endangered species :(
