Miss Penelope, one of our resident female Anna's Hummingbirds, sipping nectar! She is enjoying our George Davidson Crocosmia flowers.
Taken in Hillock Wood, Buckinghamshire where everything I needed all appeared at the same time, mist, sunlight and autumnal colours and simply in awe of the spectacle that faced me.
So, same tree as the first shot I posted from this session but taken at a different time and about 6 foot to the right as the sun had moved. Amazed at the dynamic range that was in the raw file, no hdr for this.
The ruins of Kilchurn Castle on the banks of the wonderfully named Loch Awe, Scottish Highlands. Built in the mid 15th century and in ruins by the mid 18th century.
Hello Flickr Friends ❤️💙
It's been awhile, I've missed being here admiring and enjoying your photos, I look forward to catching up soon! :) I hope you are well, enjoying the season in your neck of the woods!:)
....travelling is a privilege, grateful and lucky to be able to experience a new place!
. .. Newfoundland was a bucket list place to visit. The 2 things I hoped to see most was an iceberg and a Puffin. yay :) (Puffin photo coming soon)
.....As such you can imagine how incredible this was to witness part of this iceberg falling off and crashing into the ocean!... ..still in complete awe! lol . The sound and details of it collapsing!..the wave it created. the chances to witness such a thing in nature! (and safely) :) I will treasure the moment forever.
The color, and size was magnificent! every angle is a completely new look to an iceberg. I will be posting more:)
Even though I researched the best time to see icebergs, it does not always guarantee you will. Apparently last year there were none in this area. Twillingate.(part of iceberg alley)...it all depends on the weather, currents, wind direction etc.
"Q: How much of an iceberg is below water?".....Answer below at the end:)
some more fascinating facts if you are interested:

________________
"A: Almost 90% of an iceberg is under water, hence the phrase “tip of the iceberg.” Its maximum width under water is 20-30% larger than you can see at the surface. The average depth, or draught of an iceberg, is slightly less than its apparent length above water."
Looking north east on the banks of Loch Awe, I could sit here all day long, as every moment that passes offers something new to cherish

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
And I can't fake another smile (and I can't fake)
And I can't fake like I'm alright (no smile)
Ooh, ah (ooh, ah, ooh)
And I won't say I'm feeling fine (I'm feeling fine)
After what I been through, I can't lie
Ooh, ah (ooh, ah)
Our journey most days started and ended with us driving passed Kilchurn Castle, so i thought i would take the opportunity "as it would be rude not to" to photograph it over the three days of passing!

Up flies the bouncing woodcock from the brig
Where a black quagmire quakes beneath the tread
The fieldfare chatter in the whistling thorn
And for the awe round fields and closen rove
And coy bumbarrels, twenty in a drove
Flit down the hedgerows in the frozen plain
And hang on little twigs and start again
Here you see the ruin of Kilchurn Castle on the shores of Loch Awe (Argyll & Bute, Scotland).

Thank you all so much for your comments & faves.
Part of a wider panorama that sweeps round from Kilchurn Castle, past the feet of towering Ben Cruachan (1126 metres) round to this promontory into Loch Awe..... and fresh Scottish midges.
I knew my trained assassin skills had not deserted me. Can you find the two men lurking in the woods?
It's just a shame there wasn't a herd of gingery Highland cows paddling in the waters in the foreground.
There have been several eagle sightings in my neighborhood, but I was not lucky enough to see one until yesterday am. I came out of my driveway to a nearby crossroad and this one was straight ahead of me in a pecan tree. Of course, no camera in the car, but he was kind enough to wait on me to pull off this still shot and then he flew. Luckily, I had installed my telephoto and new extender the day before!!
A lone hiker stands in awe as she tries to comprehend her incredible surroundings of massive sheer rock walls stretching from the Virgin River in which she stands, up into the heavens that are to be found in The Narrows of Zion National Park, Utah.
Kilchurn Castle is a ruined structure on a rocky peninsula at the northeastern end of Loch Awe, in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It was first constructed in the mid-15th century as the base of the Campbells of Glenorchy, who extended both the castle and their territory in the area over the next 150 years. After the Campbells became Earls of Breadalbane and moved to Taymouth Castle, Kilchurn fell out of use and was in ruins by 1770. It is now in the care of Historic Environment Scotland and is open to the public in summer.
I've taken a look back through my archives and have started re-visiting a few images either re-editing or processing previously untouched frames. This is one such frame of a sunrise from 2010, I hope it isn't too boring taking this action.
A gentle light on woodland floor,
Surely life must need of more,
To grow through leaves with trees so tall,
A long way down this light must fall,
But natures knows her plants can cope,
It’s from our feet she'll trust and hope.

I was very excited when I spotted this last week on our hike in Dundas & was able to catch the awe of forest light
There was a time when I use to go on climbs like this and never brought a camera. At a certain point in my life I decided that it wasn't fair not to share these moments of pure awe with the people that would appreciate them. I started bringing my camera with me to these plces high in the sky where at the end of the day the light reaches out for one last kiss of the earth.
To stand at the end of a glacier, to see it’s massive power, and to think of the years it’s taken for it to flow to this point…well…it’s truly awe inspiring.
If you look to the center of this shot you’ll see seagulls flying. They give you a sense of just how incredible the scale of this place is. And this was just a small section. It was overwhelmingly beautiful.

This loch extends for 21 miles from Dalmally in the North to Torran in the South plus a long 4 mile finger-like extension from Trevine to Bridge of Awe.
It looks very calm here but when the wind is blowing down it it can be very unforgiving, there have been many tragedies caused by boats being capsized by the unwary. I lost a good friend to it when his rowing boat overturned with 4 others on board, all perished.
