I know they are common, but sometimes I find a simple pastel shot of a Red Necked Grebe in still water with beautiful spring colours starting to come in fantastic. I know today didn't feel like spring here in Southern Ontario, this shot makes me already feel that warmer days are breaking through...
As always all shots taken with physical distancing.

55 days into this 365 and I am pleasantly surprised that by staying present to whatever shows up throughout the day is kinda fun.
Happy Friday to all.
Shot notes: the warm tones is reflected sunlight on the water further up the stream (I was shooting from a lower section of the bank)
Note to self: f/9 and that's all the focus I get?! Do I hike 15 minutes back to my car for the tripod? *sigh* Perfectionism please lighten up because I am trying to go with the flow here...
Project 365-055
These guys are easy to hear as they deliver their two-note call in a subdued tone from the tops of tree canopies. They seem to fly about languidly, but they can be hard to lay eyes on because of dense foliage.
I was able to photograph this bird three separate times, but all shots had limited light. In another, the bird was perched a bit too high.
I wish this shot were brighter, but it does show a sense of the dense tropical forest.
All shots of this series done with the Samyang 135/2 wide-open plus reflector. In a way, the last year is still with us. Just as I am still around carrying all those years with me.
The outdoor photos I uploaded today were all shot thru my kitchen window. During these troubled times, it is important to see the beauty in simple things around us. Please stay safe and hang in there. The world will get moving again.
All shots of this series done with the Samyang 135/2 wide-open plus reflector (in this case the window pane through which the shot was done).

Yesterday Alles shot a beautiful pic of us on my sim. (It's really *our* sim, because Alles and Kynne share a sky platform where they change outfits and take magical pics.) Anyway, while Alles - and later Kynne - were snapping away I took this closeup of myself with Alles. I had a fun afternoon with these two wonderful friends *and* got to spend the afternoon hugging Alles. <3

Absolutely, folks — this picture’s got all the ingredients you love: layered history, coastal drama, and a touch of poetic romance. Let’s dive in.
🌉 Blennerville Bridge & Reflections in the Water Blennerville Bridge spans the River Lee at its estuary, just west of Tralee in County Kerry. It’s a seven-bay stone bridge that forms a causeway between the canal and river, offering a striking view of the Slieve Mish mountains and the iconic Blennerville Windmill.
- On calm days, the tidal waters mirror the bridge, windmill, and surrounding village in stunning detail — a dream for photographers.
- The reflections often include clouds drifting over the mountains, adding layers of texture and mood to the scene.
- At sunrise or sunset, the water glows with amber and violet hues, turning the bridge into a silhouette against the sky — perfect for capturing symmetry and atmosphere.
Photographic Tips
- Position yourself near the Tralee Canal or the south bank of the River Lee for the best angles.
- Use a polarizing filter to manage glare and deepen the contrast in reflections.
- Try shooting during low tide when the water is stillest, especially in autumn when the light is soft and golden.
💔 The Maid of Tralee — Mary O’Connor She’s the heart of the famous ballad The Rose of Tralee, which inspired the international festival. Mary was a maid in service to the wealthy Mulchinock family in Tralee. William Pembroke Mulchinock, a poet from the household, fell deeply in love with her — but their romance was thwarted by class divisions and political turmoil.
- William wrote the song as a tribute to Mary’s beauty and truthfulness:
“She was lovely and fair as the rose of the summer,
Yet 'twas not her beauty alone that won me...”
- After being falsely accused of murder, William fled to India. When he returned years later, he learned that Mary had died of tuberculosis.
- Heartbroken, he was buried beside her in Clogherbrien graveyard, just outside Tralee.
🌹 Legacy The story of Mary and William became a symbol of enduring love and Irish identity, and the festival now celebrates women of Irish descent from around the world — not for beauty alone, but for character, kindness, and cultural pride.

The Baseball is #one of the #sports that manages to unite many #nations through the #passion in every #episode.
Wagtail. Part of my continuing series with birds on boats, every wildlife image I see is usually a bird on a stick or in what is considered to be the natural habitat of the bird, but as man encroaches more and more into the wildlife habitat this is no longer necessarily the case, so I have decided to do a series with a difference, all the birds in this series are all shot on or about boats. The juxtaposition between nature and technology.
Another group of fall color photos from Lakes of the North (Mancelona, MI) or points close by.
All shots taken mid-October using a Sony 7R3 DSLR + Sigma 50-500mm OS lens.

The last in the series of sunset shots in Perth City. Shots all hand held taken from the Rooftop Bar at the Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA). The weather and colours were fabulous and the vibe in the bar was trendy and laid back. All shots used the Ethereal filter (Urth) to give a little cinematic twist to the shots.

twas fun to meet Di after seeing all those pics photos pileups pimp ups... when i said i wanted to shoot her as a Flapper she laughed
Flappers were known as wild women during the 1920s for wearing short skirts, makeup, bobbing their hair, drinking hard liquor, smoking and listening to jazz music .... nowadays they would probably play second life too
all shot at Tango club Arrabal, photoshop
cheers to Ludmilla, Zonja, Flavio for trying to move a bottle on the bar ... and to Simon who finally clicked it away ...

I managed to see the Aurora on Thursday night. I took loads of photos and had such a great time. I was completely alone on my favourite beach at Rhossili (3 miles long!). Not the best Aurora shots I have seen but still happy to get anything! All shots taken in RAW and converted to jpeg images with no added saturation.
all shots by KHWD from our travels worldwide, originally shot 30/4/17
want to see more images of papamoa beach or read the blog?
Light nights and late evenings force me to shoot in my kitchen with black out curtains and the lights turned off...
For this one I turned the circuit board to make it way out of parallel with the focal plane to make some great out of focus points of light.
All shot in one photographic exposure with a combination of flashguns and LED lights.
