About once a year a huge flock of these chittering birds decends on our neighbor's sugarberry tree and fest on the juicy berries, dropping the seeds on the sidewalk. I feel like I'm walking on tiny marbles. They move nonstop. This is the first year I've gotten some decent photos of the voracious little birds.
I spent about 3 hours standing in the rain yesterday waiting for the thunderstorms to pass over. The first one came and went without any joy but as the second came though I heard a few rumbles then the rain came in pouring down over Loch Lomond. I would like to say this is one image but sadly trying to catch lightning during the day from previous experience is tricky so instead I filmed it on high res video until I had a strike. Then took some stills and blended the lightning into the shot from the video so I had a higher quality image.
Amazing Facts About the Seagull
Seagulls are very clever. They learn, remember and even pass on behaviors, such as stamping their feet in a group to imitate rainfall and trick earthworms to come to the surface.
Seagulls’ intelligence is clearly demonstrated by a range of different feeding behaviors, such as dropping hard-shelled mollusks onto rocks so that they break open so they can eat them, and following plows in fields where they know upturned grubs and other food sources will be plentiful.
Seagulls are attentive and caring parents. The male and female pair for life and they take turns incubating the eggs, and feeding and protecting the chicks!.

Thank you for your visit and kind comments!.
You all have a wonderful weekend!.
Taken from about 50 yards from the previous 'Old Northumberland' upload, this is will be the view they see across their back gardens towards the coast at Boulmer (where they look to be getting very wet!).
Beyond the foreground field is the big new Willowburn estate being extended with the Duchess' Secondary school and the Lionheart Industrial Estate visible beyond. The A1 runs between the two around the eastern side of the town.
It's about 2 months since I last picked up my camera and a combination of time, energy and motivation seem to be conspiring against me at the moment. With nothing new to process and upload, it's back to the archives and a shot from a beautifully peaceful morning up at Buttermere back in March
A selection of my images are now available to purchase at James Bell's site here
Not in that way:) The guy was looking around to take a picture of something on his cellphone.He then looked upwards and took a shot of something,maybe the top of the building across the street.

About blackbird-sized and striking black-and-white. It has a very distinctive bouncing flight and spends most of its time clinging to tree trunks and branches, often trying to hide on the side away from the observer. Its presence is often announced by its loud call or by its distinctive spring 'drumming' display. The male has a distinctive red patch on the back of the head and young birds have a red crown. What they eat: Insects, seeds and nuts (Courtesy RSPB).
Thanks for viewing my photos and for any favourites and comments, it’s much appreciated.
I guess that is what I like about the sea
It reminds me of feelings
Roaring like this
The noise can be incredible
Crashing waves
This time there was no wind
Just the underlying rest of the storm
Still in the sea
That is us, isn't it
We keep stuff inside
Stuff that needed to be said out loud
Injustice
Being treated with no respect
Mean words from others
Even mean actions from others
All the scars we get
Maybe we act mean towards others because we don't deal with the people that actually was mean to us in the first place
All what we endure
And we just keep them inside us
Doesn't do us any good at all
So important to react
Out of respect for yourself
You grow you know, when you are standing up for yourself
Because that is your job
Luckily there is calm sea too
We all love the reflections and serenity that goes with the calmness
I guess that is what most of us want for ourselves too
Maybe that's why we love water
Water feeds us, nourish us
We can see all sides of our personality in the water and we respect that
We actually love it
Just as we should love ourselves
Just as we should do the honor of respecting ourselves
That's my recipe for nourishing myself
Maybe it will be the recipe for others too
When we do love and respect ourselves, then others will too
It all comes from you

It's about time I posted photos of my big brother ... he is the reason I took up photography now more than 50 years ago. Today would have been his 73rd birthday but he left us at age 46. I won't bother with bemoaning and detailing how profound our loss was ... he wouldn't condone it if he were here.
We photographed together when time and circumstance allowed and I would often turn my camera to him as my subject. Two examples of my informal portraiture of him are in this diptych. Although I had no way of knowing it at the time, all of these extemporaneous portraits would become a treasure to me after his death. I return to them often to provoke good memories that deserve provocation for their goodness and if only to remind me of our times together and to serve as the 'voice in my ear' when I am editing my own work. I often look at my own images when deciding if they are 'keepers' by asking myself "what would my brother have said about them?" It keeps me honest in some mysterious and wondrous way ... thank you big brother and happy birthday. "Anon, or sooner!"
he royal were flying all around us and it was great fun trying to decide which one to capture next. this royal tern was just coming in to land . Never a quiet moment with these beautiful birds !
Wishing you a wonderful and blessed July 5th !!!

A night in the deep forest, again with my headlights of the car, heavy fog and my favorite equipment. This is the right time to think about life and the nice moments on a warm island.

Thank you all so much for stopping by and for the kind comments and favs. They are very much appreciated!
About four years ago. Dogwoods (Cornus florida) produce lots of flower buds in late fall, or they become obvious then. They wait until the time is right, and open up, exposing four large bracts, and a couple of dozen or so small flowers, if all goes well.
Thank you for looking! Isn't God a great artist?

I spend quite a large part of my life choosing, testing and repairing photographic equipment. It takes me much more time than creating pictures..
Once I unwittingly overheard a conversation of men drinking alcohol on the river bank.
They talked about fishing and choosing equipment for this.
One of them had a heavy box of various fishing gear. He showed them with pride, laid out and sorted out ... spinners, wobblers, fishing lines, hooks ...
And the other could boast of nothing but a shovel.
But I remember his words well:
".. there are men's magazines about women,
But sometimes it's just a woman.."
After that He dug up worms and went to fish..)
Nice weather and great photos this weekend for all of us
And let the pleasure of the process does not replace the result for us ! ) ) )

Macro Mondays -- Theme "Handmade"
When this theme was announced I knew I would use a Christmas ornament. Choosing which one was a problem though for I have waaaaaay too much Christmas stuff and a lot of it is handmade. I settled on this one made of two nuts glued together then painted and dressed.
The ornament is about 2.5" tall but the portion of it shown is only about 1.5".
I came across the following poem when looking up snowdrops and it sums up the last week or so pretty well:
"I wonder if the sap is stirring yet,
If wintry birds are dreaming of a mate,
If frozen snowdrops feel as yet the sun
And crocus fires are kindling one by one:
Sing robin, sing:
I still am sore in doubt concerning Spring."
Christina Rossetti – from ‘ The First Spring Day’ (1830-1894) – English Poet
These snowdrops emerged on a hillside several days ago, which meant I didn't have to get down in the mud to capture an eye level view of them. They've since experienced heavy frost, snow, and rain, which left me in doubt about spring too - at least until today, which was finally warm and sunny.
