A bit of a big lens for this sort of photography but I was out shooting wildlife when I spotted this lovely flower with this beautiful background.......just had to get the shot..!!!
Things are a bit slow when I’m relegated to shooting a succulent in my backyard, but my plant seemed in the mood for a portrait, and I was too lazy to look elsewhere. So here she is.

The Succulent:
In botany, succulent plants, also known as succulents, are plants with parts that are thickened, fleshy, and engorged, usually to retain water in arid climates or soil conditions. The word succulent comes from the Latin word sucus, meaning "juice" or "sap."
Succulent plants may store water in various structures, such as leaves and stems. The water content of some succulents can get up to 90 to 95%. The habitats of these water-preserving plants are often in areas with high temperatures and low rainfall, such as deserts, but succulents may be found even in alpine ecosystems growing in rocky soil. Succulents are characterized by their ability to thrive on limited water sources, such as mist and dew, which makes them equipped to survive in an ecosystem that contains scarce water sources.

I feel a little bit princessy today. Don't mind me ^_^. So here's me with naked face.

So this is love, mmm
So this is love
So this is what makes life divine
I'm all aglow, mmm
And now I know (and now I know)
The key to all heaven is mine
My heart has wings, mmm
And I can fly
I'll touch every star in the sky
So this is the miracle
That I've been dreaming of
Mmm, mmm
So this is love

Bit of a Wader day at Titchwell & Thornham on Sunday which is always a bit of a treat for us land locked Bedfordshire birders :-)
This afternoon I made a photo walk, it was very cold and windy but beautiful nature. So I was very happy!

“Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.”
A bit of a mouthful for a title I know and a bit of a play on a well-known saying but I couldn't resist as I was fascinated by the copse-like grouping of some poplar trees you see through the tangle of less upright oak trees nearer to the camera.
Captura de una pequeña parte del Puente de Queensboro a 40 metros de altura sobre el Rio Este entre Manhattan y el distrito de Queens...Esta image se tomó desde el Telesférico de Roosevelt, que transita paralelo al puente y a la misma altura.

Thanks so much everyone for your visit and support.
Bit of a change for me I wanted to see if I could pull of a portrait and come up with something that didn't lose my style.... I think its OK.....finally thanks to my lovely model for this Mimi!!
A bit of camera movement, but I have to share this beauty. Check out the headlights and the lightning bolt side trim…
I went to look for the chamois again today, and although they showed up they didn’t seem pleased that I had brought my mom along... they made a big show of giving warning calls and sprinting towards cover while not appearing particularly nervous. (They do remind me a bit of cats.) As I didn’t manage to capture their show very well I took a few flower shots instead...
A bit of a reimagining of a previous post. It occurs to me that this looks a lot like the graphic everyone uses for the Corona virus.... sorry about that!
Rest assured that I used masks in Photoshop...

Found a bit of solace and quiet in a small canyon the other day after following packs of ATVs out to the trailhead. Not many of my old haunts available this time of year for a girl to sit and contemplate the ebb and flow of the desert and herself.
……But not as rough as it can get in winter months in Coverack! This was an Easterly wind that was whipping a bit of a swell- on the other side of the Lizard it was flat!…….. Hope Friday is going well, stay locked down and cosy to stay safe and to keep EVERYONE else safe too! A VERY BIG THANK YOU to ALL the key workers who are carrying on to benefit the rest of us - we applaud you all. Alan;-)👏👏👏👏👏

When the weather gets cold outside, the birds seem a bit more tolerant of each other and are more willing to share the different feeders.
The Downy Woodpeckers are very timid so seeing this little female staying put when the Pine Warbler flew up, I knew they were really feeling the bitter cold weather we were having.

This image is one of those featured in my latest Youtube Vlog. This Vlog has the theme of Chasing Clouds. On Thursday morning the South Easterly wind was pushing a line of clouds over the main divide into the Manawatu. This cloud not only creates directional light but it also fills the sky with cotton wool clouds.
...You'll never be afraid to be the only one standing. ...You'll never be ashamed to stand up for what you believe. ...Being alone can be peaceful.
Especially on a day like this! I love popcorn clouds and blue skies. And there was plenty of wind so the sky was always changing - I had to wait a little bit so there weren't any shadows on the field/hills.
Another day from last summer up near Pickerel Lake.
Please enjoy...
