A bit of plodging was required to capture this composition, taken last November on the edge of buttermere. A bit of plodging was required to capture this composition, taken last November on the edge of buttermere.
A bit of brightness on a grey and windy day.
I love Ranunculus, densely layered, and this bloom opened beautifully, not always evident, their stems are extremely delicate and do tend to just collapse before the bud can open into a gorgeous voluptuous bloom...
For years I 'experimented' in the studio, to get that Flemish painter's light?
Well, I was born in Flanders, it must be in my blood? LOL.
With love to you and thanK you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

A bit like London buses; you wait ages for one, then two come along together!
Here we see a Spitfire Mk 1a leading a Mk Vc onto the Duxford grass. The Mk 1 type had been in service since 1937 and the Mk V which was essentially a Mk 1 with a more powerful engine, introduced late in 1940.
In this picture, we can see the difference between the 'a' wing on the leading Spitfire, which could carry 8 machine guns and the 'c' wing on the Mk V which could carry either 4 cannon, or 2 cannon and 4 machine guns. This one is configured for the latter.
Note also how the markings changed during the course of the war; the Mk 1 has the Dark Earth with Dark Green topsides camouflage pattern, whilst the Mk V shows the later scheme introduced after 1941 which replaced Dark Earth with Ocean Grey, which was found to be more effective. The Mk V also carries a couple of 'friend or foe' visual identification aids; a pale band around the fuselage immediately in front of the tail plane, and yellow wing leading edges, so the plane could be identified when seen head on.

Images captured in the breathtakingly beautiful Urabandai area in Northern Japan.
A mild winter so far gave us the chance to witness these early December sceneries one month late.
This image was captured with the new Nikon 19mm tilt lens on the D810.
Bit of a blow out this morning.
Turned up, got this shot quite quickly. Then the heavens opened and it became clear very quickly that I was totally unprepared for it. Wet camera, wet lenses, wet filters and wet me.
To top the morning off as I was walking back to the car I dropped my camera on concrete. Surprisingly its mostly fine. A little dent/chip of paint lost. Certainly could have been much worse.
But anyway, at least I got one shot.
Bit of a sombre tone today, not well and really not enjoying being stuck at home for the next 7 days but at least I have company unlike this little guy.
Another bit of flash photography due to our recent inclement weather, I caught this Great Tit in such a position that it looks as if its hiding behind its wing...now you see me, now you don't! ;)

Went for a wander in Abbeyford Woods with my friend Fran (who managed to get us lost ... which was rather amusing) ... the light wasn't great and avoiding copious amounts of dog poop meant I didn't get a great deal of interesting images ... but I love this one :D
Think I used the Takumar 55mm ... but to be honest I forget :D
A bit of monsoonal rain on the north coast of Trinidad island, Maracas Bay lookout, nothing spectacular, but this will be my only upload from that island as photo opportunities were very rare. It's also as close as my ass will ever get to Venezuela!
Greetings from Ilopango lake, El Salvador, my last night in Central America.
After the first frost of the season. The flowers are still hanging on but barely and then a frost comes through.
Finally got close to a pair I've been watching on the River Cannich and typically it was early evening on a very dull day
This one almost took a 200 mile ride out of its natural habitat on my Airstream. Instead, we did a photo shoot! She (or he?) was a bit needy and bossy... makeup and hair were not easy I tell you. But in the end, we got through it and this little fashionista was placed carefully in a tree to go about the day.
A bit of a miracle getting so close to this species as they are extremely shy and wary. Normally they spot you and hide. However, on passage migration they appear to be much more confiding. They are usually found on desolate moorland and mountain sides but on passage migration they have been recorded on the coast and even in peoples gardens. They will stay if you have berries!

Slightly smaller and slimmer than a blackbird - male ring ouzels are particularly distinctive with their black plumage with a pale wing panel and striking white breast band. The ring ouzel is primarily a bird of the uplands, where it breeds mainly in steep sided valleys, crags and gullies, from near sea level in the far north of Scotland up to 1,200m in the Cairngorms.
Breeding begins in mid-April and continues through to mid-July, with two broods common, and nests are located on or close to the ground in vegetation (typically in heather), in a crevice, or rarely in a tree. The young are fed a diet consisting mainly of earthworms and beetles.
Overview
Latin name
Turdus torquatus
Family
Chats and thrushes (Turdidae)
Where to see them
Ring ouzels can be found in upland areas of Scotland, northern England, north west Wales and Dartmoor. When on spring and autumn migration they may be seen away from their breeding areas, often on the east and south coasts of the UK where they favour short grassy areas.
When to see them
Ring ouzels arrive in March and April and leave again in September.
What they eat
Insects and berries
UK Breeding:-
6,200-7,500 pairs
Conservation
22 July 2011
The first national survey in 1999 estimated the UK ring ouzel population at 6,157-7,549 pairs, with further range contractions and a likely 58 per cent decline in population size since 1988-91.
Recent studies aimed at understanding these declines suggest that low first-year, and possibly adult, survival may be the main demographic mechanisms driving the population decline. The large population decline qualifies the ring ouzel for inclusion on the red list of birds of conservation concern.
This younger more subordinate ram to a bigger, probably older male, shows quite a bit of wear on his horns.
With the sanders working, 56091 restarts 6M43 from a signal check at Rattenclough Cottage Crossing on the climb to Copy Pit. 2N90 was running late in the section ahead and I imagine the driver was cursing the red aspect on the climb.
I wasn't mind, it gave enough time for the sun to climb above a bit of thin cloud. To be fair, the grid immediately found its feet and continued the climb at walking pace.
Managed to include my trusty 20 year old Defender 110 in the frame and write off a pair of Adidas Simba trainers in the morning dew having traipsed across the fields looking for the best shot, when I could have just walked along the pavement from where I parked my Landy! Perils of the hobby.
Glad to get this rare hire in by Colas of the DCR 56, the train is 6M43, 02.43 Haverton Hill to Preston Docks, itself a relatively new flow, taking over from the flow from Lindsey.
I love Lizards and Chameleons, but there are not many variety here in my state. And then they are hard to shoot in good angles unless they get on perches like this.
This is a common Lizard found in the green bush usually requiring a bit of open space. They are quite visible in summer due to the lack of raptors (which are in holiday mostly in Europe). Come winters, they would be again hard to sight.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
I cant thank Mareva enough for helping me out with this picture; without her guidance, it is impossible to paint my imagination with pictures. Her way of thinking perfection improves my work bit by bit every day.

enjoyed a couple of hours strolling along the shores of loch Awe, in Wester Ross, Scotland. the light was nothing special, so I had to work hard to get a composition. quite liked the grasses in the water, and the reflection of the clouds.
Several Song sparrows have continued along with the Yellow Breasted Chat in St John's throughout the winter. For the past week or so they have broken into spring song - they too enjoy the suet

The forests around the Makarora area are simply spectacular. Beautiful deep green colours with clean streams of fast waters braking the otherwise uninterrupted silence.
It took me a good couple of hours to get this shot right. I had to take it from a suspended bridge which wasn't very stable. But it was definitely worth it.

Tokina 12-24mm f4 PRO DX: amzn.to/2pXiyoQ

Los bosques en el área de Makarora, Nueva Zelanda, son simplemente espectaculares. Bonitos y ricos verdes contrastados con limpios arroyos de aguas rápidas rompiendo el silencio que de otra manera se ve ininterrumpido.
Necesité un par de horas para poder tomar esta foto bien. La razón, la tuve que hacer desde un puente colgante que se movía de vez en cuando arruinando mi larga exposición. Pero en cualquier caso creo que el resultado valió la pena.
