Balancing Rocks in the Ottawa River.
Remic Rapids Park is situated on the shore of the Ottawa River, Ottawa, Canada.
To enhance the park’s beauty, artist John Felice Ceprano has created balanced rock sculptures on the river’s edge since 1986. The artist uses fossilized and colourful rocks found on the shore to build these sculptures by hand. They provide a free and exploratory public art experience that complements the park’s natural setting.
For roughly 2 seconds Danni was perched atop her dog Boo.
Dad was just off to the left and kept her from toppling over.
I tested my new Laowa 100mm F2.8 2× macro lens, and this is the result. I used a metal kitchen whisk for the curves in the foreground with a few drops of glycerin, and behind it I placed a piece of gift‑wrap paper covered with curved, colorful shimmering patterns. The droplets acted like tiny lenses and revealed the curves hidden in the background.
I really appreciate all your likes and kind reactions on this photo, thank you!
Not sure who this is, but the pose is fantastic. Obviously, I shouldn't come any closer than this... Really made my day! (Squirrels-2021-8015.jpg)
Gradually, with ever decreasing visibility, or by a sudden black-out? Or, by an intentional and stage-managed theatrical act (think of David Bowie's last video showing him disappearing into a cabinet)? How will we be going and disappearing from Flickr? What will happen to the visual wake we are leaving behind? Fuji X-Pro1 plus Fujinon XF 1.4/35.

Balanced Rock is one of the park's iconic features. I helped balance the rock back in 1959 when I was just a young teen. Had my kids help balance this rock in the 90's and the grandkids got their chance in the last few years. This is how it looks if you enter the park from the west.

This Great Blue Heron landed in the top of a cedar tree but the branches were too flimsy to support its weight. So he struggled to maintain his balance. It was rather entertaining to watch for about 30 seconds until it flew off to find a more stable perch.
We observed this fun behavior at The Nature Conservancy's Cheyenne Bottoms Preserve in central Kansas.

Thanks for views,faves and comments:-)
Who knew that it is so difficult to balance Dolly Mixtures! After multiple collapses I had to enlist the help of my patient engineer husband to build my Dolly Mixture pyramid! Between the builder and the photographer we managed the balancing act!!!!!

Balancing Act - This backyard Bobcat may not be wearing Air Jordans, but he's certainly got hops like a prime MJ!
Bobcats have longer hind legs than front legs and it's amazing how much jumping power they can generate from a standstill.
Recently, I've enjoyed capturing images of wildlife in urban settings. I think there's great value to showing how wildlife navigates the built environment and showcasing their importance to urban ecosystems.

Location: California, USA

I had to wake up early for the ACT this morning, so I figured I'd take advantage of the morning light.
As the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus came to a close, the railroads that would move their train, were putting some interesting motive power on the train. On April 17, 2017, the train was being moved from Worcester, MA to Manchester, NH. P&W handled the train for about 3 miles from Worcester yard up to Barbers with a pair of Dash 7's. Pan Am took over the train at Barbers and ran it up to Manchester with both Pan Am's FP9's and 3 more EMD's providing power. Here we see the P&W leg of the train heading north through Worcester. The leader, 2201, was retired about a month later. The trailing unit 2216 was relocated by G&W out to the Ohio Central Railroad.

When a photo opportunity presents itself, as we all know, you must stop, slow down and take advantage of the situation! I watched as this Willet did a 'balancing act' across this very dangerous crossing...:)... Yes, back at Bodega Bay...just a Willet!!
it's funny. you go into shoots sometimes and parents have this whole idea of what they may want; running around frantically telling their kids to button up, change their shirt, stand up straight, stop hitting each other, start smiling, I can go on--
"act natural" is a phrase I've heard so many times and I've noticed that it's typically said when their true character has already fully unveiled itself. ofcourse the smiling photo is doable, but boys will be boys. the only thing you can do is work with their mischievous ways. throw in a few props and make a story.
Schmetterlingszeit !! :-)
Dieser Admiral balanciert von einer zur nächsten Blüte :-)
Mögen alle Sorgen oder Schmerzen so leicht weg fliegen wie ein Schmetterling. Manchmal ist Leben ein Balanceakt , aber wir schaffen das :-)
Butterfly time !! :-)
This Red Admiral balances from one to the next blossom :-)
May all your worry or pains fly away so easily like a butterfly. Sometimes life is a balancing act, but we can do that :-)
