They're back!! Our friendly neighborhood owl has returned to our pine tree to have another round of chicks. It's always a delight to see the owlettes jumping around the branches of the tree until they are ready to go off on their own. How many owls do you see in this shot?

I'v been wanting to make a photographic research of the Oporto's inner city back yards for years now. It's one of the city's best kept secrets. I will make of this picture a starting point.
Took Percy (the spiny flower mantid) into the studio today and he treated me to one of his threat displays.
I've one space available on this Sundays macro workshop. If anyone is interested?

I cannot believe another year is almost done and we are getting ready to welcome in 2023. Looking back on this year photographically it was a pretty good year for me. My wife and I traveled 6700 miles to Montana and back with our camper and (after the first two days of 'getting used to camping') LOVED IT!! We saw so much of this beautiful country and cannot wait to head out on a "Bucket List" trip of mine in another year or so. If any of you dream to travel this country by driving and camping I suggest don't put it off! I wish I had done it 15 years earlier when my body wasn't being eaten up by arthritis so I could climb some higher mountains.
I know this is a time of the year where I look back on things and remind myself how lucky I am to have this passion for photography which motivates me to want to see new places and make new friends! I am grateful for everyone here on Flickr that takes the time to read my (sometimes silly) comments and comment back. I look forward to many more journeys ahead in 2023 and wish the best for you all also!!
I also look forward to meeting up with a few of you again, and maybe for the first time!
Here's to a Happy and Healthy 2023 for everyone!!
I wanted to get a shot of the Aquilegia in my garden before they went over but it's been too breezy the last few days to get anything properly focused so had to go back to basics & bring one indoors :)
My flickr is finally working, after over a year!! After all the investigation, it had something to do with the faulty cable of the network I use, that simple!
Yesterday I've tried to go back to all the contacts and comments that were left during the past year but after 2 hours I finally gave up, so I'm starting fresh, it will be great to see what all you guys are up to!!
Taken a few years ago on a trip to the Northern California coast. That trip was my first sighting of these pretty little birds.
Kim Ma street - Hanoi - Vietnam - 2015 - Autumn - Sunny day - On the way back home - Sun shine in my eyes.
Here we view Canadian National's most sought after heritage unit, the EJ&E 661. It has just bypassed some maintenance-in-the-way traffic and is heading west, back to Griffith yard.
SOO 4448 shoves CP BD70 south out of Davenport, IA, heading back to West Davenport after the dispatcher refused to let the train run without PTC.
Up at Back Tor on Derwent Edge yesterday afternoon, and the usual focal points and compositions fell by the wayside as the snow drifts were far more visually appealing.
ACB4405 & ACB4401 back in action and back where they along in WA! seen on 5049 loaded MRL ore from Mt Walton seen here at Wattleup. These units plus ACB4401 were recently transferred back from Hunter Valley NSW to WA to come back on real trains to help out due to shortage of locos
Back to the seemingly endless rolling hills and gentle folds of the Palouse, Washington landscape. It really is a magical place, almost one of a kind, especially when you view it from above - where the true shape becomes apparent.

The Three Sisters, Tongaporutu, New Zealand.
In a big storm in 2003 one of the Three Sisters disappeared. A few years later a new third sister popped out of the eroding cliff face (right).
Spotted my new little friend again in the garden today, thought I'd try to really capture how tiny he/she is.
After rushing back down out of the power plant we catch the train heading into the coal mine to take the last load of the day back to the power plant.
Life may be hard, things might not be going your way, but at the end of the day, all you really need is someone who loves you and always has your back.
Didn't do as much traveling I wanted to do last summer, but a highlight of Summer 2015 was time spent in St. Cloud during August. Was a fun week down there with the family, visiting friends in the area that didn't migrate away after college. Lots of great times away from the tracks, but carved out a little bit of railfanning too. One of the railfan goals was to revisit shooting a morning train on the Mississippi River. So got up early on this clear, hot Friday and headed downtown.
BNSF 2623 and PRLX 704 ease a dozen or so cars over the former GN bridge in St. Cloud, running east from the yard to the Staples Sub. mainline on Aug. 14, 2015.
This reminded me of the East Locals I used to shoot back in the day in Cloud, a leaser Geep in the consist pulling boxcars. Although back in the day these cars would have been paper loads out of the Sartell Mill.
Much more traffic to contend to when getting on the mainline now. This Friday edition of the local crossed the bridge here and headed for the red signal at the east leg of the wye. Once stopped there, the DS told them it would be several hours until they got out, so they backed back through downtown St. Cloud to the ex-GN yard. Three hours later they proceeded back east towards the Staples Sub. again.
Never saw anything like that in the late 90s. On a busy day, they would wait for maybe one or two trains before proceeding east on the mainline.
