This photograph was taken on Jubilee Bridge looking towards Mandarin Oriental Hotel (from left of photograph), Ritz Carlton Hotel, Esplanade Outdoor Stage, Singapore Flyer, The Float, ArtScience Museum and Marina Bay Sands. The lattice structures have been erected on the Float to serve as the performance stage for National Day Parade on 9th August. Parts of Ritz Carlton were illuminated by the projected light from The Float.
Captivating sunbeams appeared behind the two hotels and Singapore Flyer. These sunbeams provided interesting contrasts and the mirror-like reflections in the Bay added further interests to the cityscape.
Throwback Clancy, 3yrs 3wks
No time for our Saturday Morning Post, as Dad is working, so here is a throwback to early December 2015 when we were out in the fields off the Prescott-Russell Trail. Is that snow I see over there? No, I would have to wait another three weeks for the great white fluffy stuff!

This photograph was taken from the Lower Seletar Reservoir Heritage Bridge looking towards the Orchid Country Club prior to sunrise. It was a cloudy and calm dawn, with the reservoir surface offering mirror-like reflections. The captivating clouds and reflections provided a wonderful start for the day.
One from the archives from my old home in Stawell showing a sunset that made us both come out for a closer look!

Captivating Eyes
~Sandra Feldman~
Your blue, blue
Eyes,
Captivated mine
In them I saw,
The oceans
And the sky,
The only ones
I ever wanted
To sail,
Ever see smile.
Blue Love,
Such captivating
Eyes,
Blue flowing oceans
Infinitely blending
My love with your skies.

Captivating clouds at sunset rising above Mt. Heyburn reflected in Little Redfish Lake. Always seem to have great skies when here. The high altitude helps.
I'll be busy with a project for a bit. Have a great week.
Thanks for taking a look. Always appreciated!

Osteospermum is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the Calenduleae, one of the smaller tribes of the sunflower/daisy family Asteraceae. They are known as the daisybushes or African daisies. It has been given several common names: African daisy, South African daisy, Cape daisy and blue-eyed daisy. Osteospermum used to belong to the genus Dimorphotheca, but only the annual species remain in that genus; the perennials belong to Osteospermum. It has been given several common names: African daisy, South African daisy, Cape daisy and blue-eyed daisy. There are about 50 species, native to Africa, 35 species in southern Africa, and the southwestern Arabian Peninsula. They are half-hardy perennials or sub-shrubs. 32951
Leucanthemum × superbum, the Shasta daisy, is a commonly grown flowering herbaceous perennial plant with the classic daisy appearance of white petals (ray florets) around a yellow disc, similar to the oxeye daisy Leucanthemum vulgare Lam, but larger. It originated as a hybrid produced in 1890 by the American horticulturist Luther Burbank from a number of daisies. First, he crossed Leucanthemum vulgare with Leucanthemum maximum (Ramond) DC.; this double hybrid was itself crossed with Leucanthemum lacustre (Brot.) Samp. The resulting Leucanthemum triple hybrid was crossed with Nipponanthemum nipponicum (Franch. ex Maxim.) Kitam., creating an intergeneric cross of species from three continents. It was named after Mount Shasta, because its petals were the color of the snow. Some members of the genus are considered noxious weeds, but the Shasta daisy remains a favorite garden plant. 12192

Black and white re-edit of a portrait of Archie captured in February 2018.
Holding Archie's attention for long enough to capture a photograph is no easy task. You also need some very fast shutter speeds most of the time. He is not one for staying still.
Happy Caturday to my Flickr friends - wishing you all a fantastic weekend of photography.
Enjoy!
A woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. 44945
This photograph was taken from the Lower Seletar Reservoir looking towards Orchid Country Club early last year. It was a cloudy and slightly breezy morning, with the reservoir surface offering reasonably nice reflections.
The clouds and cloudlets were progressively illuminated by the rising sun, and this photograph captured the stunningly beautiful clouds and reflections on the surface of the Reservoir.
The search for diversity has led me to the place where I found several blossoming lotus flowers. One of them was so attractive and charming that I just couldn't pass by such beauty! Truly a unique picture, in my opinion!
But I'm still alive
I don't wanna just survive
Give me something to sink all my teeth in
Eat the devil and spit out my demons
Still alive
Already died a thousand times
Went to Hell but I'm back and I'm breathing
Make me bleed while my heart is still beating
Still alive
This photograph was taken on Wednesday at dawn at Lower Seletar Reservoir looking towards Heritage Bridge and beyond.
The dawn clouds were illuminated brightly or in darker shades in unique pattern, above and beyond the Heritage Bridge. The contrasting reflections in the Reservoir provided further interests to the landscape.
Best wishes for a relaxing Sunday!
Much like a miracle drug, I was always chasing the next buzz. The trees totally entranced me from my Yak.
Now that winter is here, I still find myself dreaming of Fall. It will take awhile to adjust to the -26C temps as of right now but I will get there as winter has its beauty too, only it is a cold buzz.

This photograph was taken at dawn today at Lower Seletar Reservoir looking towards Orchid Country Club and Heritage Bridge (on the right).
This photograph captured the illuminated clouds in the morning sky and the Bridge with candle-like lights. The mirror-like surface of the reservoir provided an enchanting view of the captivating landscape.
It was easy to be captivated by Wingwalker Sam and Mike Tryggvason, an aerobatic pilot couple whose passion is taking them to thrilling heights. With pilot Mike at the controls of the “Showcat” biplane, Wingwalker Sam steps out onto the wings and combines technical skill with artistic flair to deliver a breathtaking performance.
Wingwalking is not for the faint of heart. Wingwalker Sam will be securely harnessed to the wings of the highly modified Grumman “Showcat” biplane, experiencing speeds up to 150 mph and G-forces of up to 4G. The routine is a symphony of synchronized movements, with pilot Mike executing loops, rolls, and even inverted flight, all while Sam maintains her poise and precision. Moving from different positions on the aircraft, even onto the top wing, requires exceptional balance and bravery.
Sam and Mike are not only airshow performers. Sam is a satellite collision avoidance engineer supporting science missions in space, and Mike is an airline pilot and mechanical engineer who has built rockets and contributed to experiments on the International Space Station. Together, they are excited to connect audiences with the fascinating worlds of science, engineering, and flight. Google
This night photograph was taken from a spot at Merlion Park, looking towards Jubilee Bridge, Esplanade Theatres on the Bay and other landmarks with colourful reflections in the Bay.
The Marina Bay was relatively breezy that evening. There were water taxis plying in the area. This photograph captured the captiviaing light trails and reflections of an approaching water taxi.
Best wishes for a great week ahead!
This night photograph was taken in South Lake of Zhou Zhuang during our holidays in June.
It was slightly breezy and the water surface in the lake was disturbed. The light and fountain show, with sequence of images projected onto a screen, lasers from selected spots and fountains of various patterns, was captivating. The captured screen image was a snapshot of the some buildings of Zhou Zhuang.

Happy Floral Friday!
This morning photograph was taken last week at the Lower Seletar Reservoir looking towards Orchid Country Club. It was a cloudy and relatively calm morning, with the reservoir surface offering reasonably nice reflections.
The clouds and cloudlets were progressively illuminated by the rising sun, and this photograph captured the stunningly beautiful clouds and reflections on the surface of the Reservoir.
Got up and out of the house early to get some shots before work. This is quiet a popular spot to photograph. this jetty is located at the bottom of Olivers hill in Frankston. i was lucky enough that the dense cloud blanket had cleared a but and the clouds where broken up with the sky. which also let some nice light through.
thanks for viewing.

The Chocolate Pansy Butterfly, also known as Junonia Iphita or Chocolate Soldier, is a captivating creature belonging to the Nymphalidae family, which is the largest group of butterflies globally. With its dark brown color resembling chocolate and the pansy flower, this fascinating species can be found throughout Asia, from India to China and Japan.
In Asia, this butterfly symbolizes different things such as strength and courage in India while representing love, beauty, and good luck in Thailand. Indian tradition even connects it with Lord Vishnu and Goddesses Laxmi to embody their grace, compassion, and beauty.
Being active during the day, they fly quickly and feed on flower nectar. They like to stay close to the ground and warm up under the sun or go to mud puddles for a drink of water and essential salts. This butterfly species experiences seasonal changes in appearance as they showcase slightly different wet and dry season forms. (nepaldesk.com/butterfly/chocolate-pansy)

The complete opposite to the bittern posted next to this photo. This lovely, albeit rather battered, butterfly perched in a lovely sunny spot and welcomed the photographer with open wings. We didn't see many of them, but we enjoyed them when we did.
