Until you spread your wings, you have no idea how far you can fly!

Yes yes, Im going to bed now lol, it's so much action in our bird garden - and I'm of course a bird whisperer, so I can interpret what you can't get..
😶😆😊
It took a couple of days of waiting in the rain to get this. I'd previously seen a few individuals making jumps in the forest and wanted to get the fiery autumn colours of the larch trees behind the action. This little ninja made me quite happy when he provided.
Almost as swiftly as it slings its hunter's arrow into the water, the kingfisher emerges with its prize, creating a falling curtain of glitter as water separates.
captured in madrid, at the steps of plaza de la puerta cerrada, this photograph freezes a fleeting moment where youth dances with gravity. the skateboarder, airborne and perfectly balanced, seems to defy the very force that pulls us down. the background, a silent witness in shadow, contrasts with the skaterâs dynamic energy, almost as if the city holds its breath in anticipation. the tension in his outstretched arms and the arc of the board mirror each other, creating a visual rhythm that echoes the pulse of the streets. this is not just a trickâit's a statement, a challenge, a moment when time itself seems to pause.
A fisherman in Bali is framed by his own throw net at sunrise. Not sure who had the better catch that morning - the fisherman or the photographer!

La domenica si apre con una luce dorata che accarezza i tetti rossi e le torri merlate di Ivrea. È una delle più belle cittadine del torinese, raccolta e fiera, con quell’anima medievale che si specchia nelle acque della Dora Baltea.
Le vie acciottolate si riempiono presto di maschere. Volti dipinti, cappelli piumati, mantelli che ondeggiano al passo della folla. Le risate scoppiano improvvise, limpide, mentre le bande attraversano le piazze e il sole accende ogni dettaglio: il rame delle pentole, il bianco delle divise, l’arancione vivo delle cassette accatastate agli angoli delle strade.
Nel Borghetto, il quartiere più antico e suggestivo, il tempo sembra indugiare. Le case strette, color miele e mattone, si affacciano quasi timide sulla Dora Baltea, che scorre rapida sotto i ponti di pietra.
Nel quartiere di Castellazzo, la tradizione si fa sapore condiviso con la celebre Fagiolata. I grandi pentoloni fumano sin dall’alba; dentro, fagioli morbidi e saporiti cuociono lentamente con cotenne e salamini, in una ricetta che profuma di casa e di storia. Il vino rosso scalda le guance, la birra rinfresca tra una chiacchiera e l’altra: è una festa che si assapora, letteralmente.
E poi, improvvisa come un tuono in un cielo limpido, esplode la Battaglia delle Arance. È il cuore pulsante del Carnevale, un rito collettivo che affonda le radici nella storia e nella leggenda della ribellione popolare. Le squadre degli aranceri a piedi, riconoscibili dai colori e dagli stemmi, affrontano i carri da getto che avanzano trainati dai cavalli. Le arance volano rapide, tracciando archi luminosi nel sole pomeridiano; si infrangono contro gli scudi, rimbalzano sui selciati, tingono tutto di un arancione vivido e profumato.
Le regole sono precise e rispettate con rigore: solo chi indossa i segni distintivi può partecipare; i cavalli sono protetti, così come chi porta il berretto frigio rosso, simbolo di libertà e dichiarazione di non partecipazione. È una battaglia rituale, intensa ma leale, dove il rispetto è parte stessa del gioco.
Quando il sole comincia a scendere dietro le torri, Ivrea appare stanca e felice. Le strade sono un mosaico di bucce e colori, l’aria ancora intrisa di agrumi e mosto. Le campane risuonano lievi sopra la Dora Baltea, e la domenica di Carnevale si chiude come una promessa mantenuta: un intreccio di storia, profumi e allegria che rende questa città medievale un luogo unico, dove ogni anno la festa rinnova il senso profondo di appartenenza.
Nothing shouts India like playing cricket in front of the Taj Mahal. These kids were playing at a park adjacent to the Taj. Cricket is the most popular sport in India, and you’ll find kids playing the game almost everywhere you go.
What better way to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon than getting covered in dust and sprayed with mud?

Chromatic Hunter: A stunning Blue-tailed Bee-eater (Merops philippinus) enjoying a fresh insect meal in Purbasthali. These vibrant migratory birds depend on the undisturbed grasslands and wetlands of West Bengal for safe feeding and nesting. The health of the Purbasthali ecosystem is crucial for all its avian residents.
Important Conservation Focus: While this photo highlights the Bee-eater, our priority conservation work in the same Purbasthali wetlands is currently focused on habitat protection for the area's top predators.

The dusty scene at a busy rice drying yard. Towards the end of the afternoon they gather the rice into mounds and cover it with a giant bamboo lid. This was my first time seeing a rope aided wooden rake meant for pushing instead of pulling towards the operator, but I guess it makes sense since you're having to push against a wall of rice grains.

We originally planned a long bike ride with friends in Kamperland, promising ourselves mussels and fries at Neeltje Jans afterward. We started our bike ride, but after a couple of kilometers, the 7 Beaufort winds became too strong to continue safely. We had to return, walking our bikes against the powerful gusts. Despite the challenging weather, we still treated ourselves to those delicious mussels and fries at Neeltje Jans in the end. 😊
Its peer just watching that take off on the upper left corner.

Hi Everyone!
Sorry I haven't been around much. I haven't picked up my camera in weeks and I have had internet trouble as well.
I took this last weekend on my way home from the lake. I forgot to take my Canon.
As for my health. I am doing pretty good. still waiting for news on a kidney donor match. I have now been doing dialysis on a night cycler which is working awesome. I was getting really puffy the other way.
I hope to catch up with all of you soon! Enjoy the weekend! We have family day tomorrow. Nice long weekend!
We originally planned to meet some friends in Kamperland for a long bike ride, promising ourselves mussels and fries at Neeltje Jans afterward. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate. Although we avoided the rain, we faced 7 Beaufort winds, making a bike ride too dangerous. Instead, we decided to watch the kite surfers at the Oosterscheldekering, a dam and storm surge barrier between Schouwen-Duiveland and Noord-Beveland. Watching the kite surfers was spectacular! I found this shot particularly intriguing, as it captures the drama and suspense of the scene, emphasizing the rough sea, dramatic clouds, and the kitesurfer suspended in the air - Oosterscheldekering, Zeeland, the Netherlands
I took this back in May at my sister's house where she runs an industrial feed lot for indigent hummingbirds under a grant from the National Sugar Trust. Although hummers appear cute and adorable; when they're going for food, it's a life and death matter to them. They don't mess around.
I used a camera setting that, in the overcast light, caused the background to be out of focus but visible, and not go too dark. I didn't want a black background. I lit this with 3 bare strobes on light stands. One on either side of the feeder, and one underneath but pointing up. The strobes were a YN560, a YN560-II and a Strobie 130. All strobes were in manual mode, and were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
I've taken quite a few pictures of hummers over the years and put them an album creatively called Hummingbirds.
