Although not captured today on the day notoriously labeled as Blue Monday, this capture that I made last spring kind of sums up how I have felt lately with my lack of drive to go out and create photographs. I have a feeling a lot of what I was experiencing was due to the extreme cold that we had been experiencing.
The Gouldian finch (Erythrura gouldiae), also known as the Lady Gouldian finch, Gould's finch or the rainbow finch, is a colourful passerine bird endemic to Australia. Colour variations in this stunning finch include: red, black or orange headed; green or blue backed: and white or lavender breasted. [SOOC}

Not happy with the female Splendid Fairy getting her own portrait last time I was out, this male Splendid Fairy Wren was making sure his portrait was captured today. Waiting until a spot light of afternoon sunshine burst through the clouds he perched on the closest branch to me and paused, adjusted his position slightly and once happy that I taken the right shot, flitted off.
captured today 01.01.2009, 16.15h..........a frosty day but it looks like that the year begins pretty well !!!
The pier on Oakville presents a nice vantage point for photographing a variety of water birds including numerous common terns that quickly fly about and dart into the water as they try to catch fish. Here is one of several close-ups I captured today.

October 2025: A month in 31 pictures
I was despairing of getting a photo today as the weather is dire and we are way from home so I have none of my still life props. Then what should come on the radio but "I can't stand the rain" i had a lightbulb moment and grabbed a photo of the screen, blended it with a slow shutter of a shopping bag to make it vibrant and funky. Job done, maybe not what I would have planned but beggars can't be choosers.
Both images captured today with iPhone 16 Pro Max
A completely chance moment captured today in the Chalice Well Garden in Glastonbury as we sat enjoying the peace of the King Arthur's Court and Healing Pool below.
Suddenly, there appeared above what looked to me like an earth goddess, so I took this one shot only as she passed by.
It was only later that I noticed that quite by chance, the foliage of the tree was perfectly aligned with her face, creating quite an ethereal effect.
Captured today while hiking at lunchtime in the woods in Hunt Valley, Maryland
Today it was around 55 degrees F and sunny ... a great day to "Take your camera to work day".
A capture today , but earlier this year the scene looked quite different as you can see in the first comment box .
I came up here in search of my SSC shot for this week ( job done ) and this capture is a bonus shot !
Built during Anglo-Saxon and early Norman periods, the structure has been conjectured by the Victoria County History's architectural analysis to have been a redevelopment of an Anglo-Saxon church:
Roman bricks in considerable quantities in Fetcham Church, remains of Anglo-Saxon architecture in the church...
...quoins and dressings of thin red bricks, no doubt Roman, set in wide mortar joints.
Traces of its long past exist in many parts of its structure. These include the south-west quoin of the nave, and a single splay window high on the south wall with traces of Roman brick, as well as arches which fit with the architecture prevailing before the Norman Conquest of 1066.
In the 19th century a considerable amount of restoration and improvement in the church was carried out by Rev. Sir Edward Moon rector from 1854 to 1904. Moon inherited his baronetcy in 1871 on the death of his father Sir Francis Moon, 1st Baronet, who was commemorated in much of the restoration work in the church.
The structure gained listed status in 1951, has some stained glass windows, and is classed as Grade II*.

I did this capture today. I put a pullover in the falling snow, then took some captures. I had to be real quick, because they were gone in 5 seconds!
I think it would be a nice greeting card.... :-)
Merry Christmas to You!

Sorry, for the quality of this shot.
I do have a lot better, but, haven't downloaded them from the camera as yet.
Today, was a great day.
Great light, good mom, nice background and around 2,000+ shots captured today.
Will be awhile sorting through them.
I got up at 3:30am this morning and got out to her and the calves at 4:45am.
Spent 2 hours waiting for her to get up and start feeding.
Hard to get good shots of all 3 calves and mom together.
But, I did get some today.
Lots of shots with her and one or two of the calves.
The little one with the bad eye seems to be doing fine.
It is usually first in line when she lets them feed.
So, that is good.
I got hit by a "Red Light" runner last Wednesday.
So, it has been pretty hectic.
I was on my way out there when it happened.
PS - I didn't get injured. :-) Subaru's are good that way!

So much has happened since the last time I posted that I couldn't even remember my Flickr login :-)
Life has been kinda crazy over the past months, and I'm not even referring to the "worldwide crazy" that is the pandemic.
Glad that I could seize the opportunity to capture today's sunrise... hope you enjoy!

Captured today-New Providence, Bahamas.

Having had an amazing weekend of capturing a range of small bush birds, I thought I would push my luck and head out again this afternoon. To my disappointment it appeared all the birds had scavenged their fill over the weekend and bunkered down for the impending rain front due tonight - and so this Yellow Rumped Thornbill was the best I could I hope for. Highlighted in the rapidly setting afternoon sun, as it perched on the upper most branches of a Melaleuca I thought this would be the only bird I would capture today. Thankfully this was not the case.
I’m posting a series of captures today because I wanted to show the sequence of events at this Green Heron snagged fish after fish from his submerged perch. They will do whatever it takes to make the capture. Even though the fish were small he kept this up for a long time and I finally backed away let him/her forage without have to keep an eye on that pesky clown in the canoe. No need to comment on each photo.

It's just been raining for days, maybe weeks here in the Hudson Valley. Water, water everywhere. But could there be an end to all of this rain? This scene captured today tells me a resounding 'yes.'
This stunning alligator peeking it's eye above the water was capture today at Zoo Boise in the new Gorongosa Exhibit.

It is quite impressive the detail cameras can capture today. This was a sushi restaurant with fairly low lighting at night and I was quite far from the sushi bar. If you enlarge the photo, you can clearly read KN95 on the chef’s mask, even the model number and year manufactured.
Thank you very much for your views, kind comments and faves.

Five days ago on my early morning walk down to My Patch I heard some familiar screetching way up high in a big old gum tree. I glanced up and to my delight I saw a couple of Sulphur-crested Cockatoos and their two chicks! So lucky that I had my birding lens with me, but it was a problematic shoot. As they were so high up I was getting dizzy focussing the heavy lens nearly vertically. In the end I walked backward a bit into the long grass and laid down on my back supporting the lens more comfortably. The angles are a bit wonky, I tried to catch them in portrait orientation but I needed to shoot in landscape to get them all in, at that magnification. However, I am quite delighted at what I managed to capture.
Today, 5 days later the two chicks are no longer in the hollow, they are out fully fledged and flying around. Life moves quickly in the wild animal world.
#308 Now West Wittering carpark charges are down to £1 per day (instead of £8.50) there are lots of lovely scenes to capture. Today's high tide, accompanied by strong winds and a big swell gave everybody a real thrill. Not a time to fall in the water!

Captured today at the end of the day. Going for a hike to enjoy the beautiful foliage nature has to offer.
This is a composite of the tern as it diving.
Today was a magical day. I thought I had a pretty good run yesterday. It pales next to what I was able to see and capture today. When I got to the park and marina I just wanted to be alone and eat my lunch. It was early in afternoon say about 2ish.
We all know the light isn't good but I just wanted to be there. I sat down on a rock near the shore to eat - and up comes a nice family. There goes my alone time and I thought about moving again. We exchanged pleasantries, why yes it is a 600mm lens. etc....
I had only taken a couple of mouthfuls of food when I looked up and headed for our area was the most beautiful Bald Eagle!!! I threw my food down and began shooting. I got a couple of nice shots that I will post later.
Then I got up to see if I could find Chick 2 and I did. I came back and a large family had taken over the area where I had been. :-( So I was forced to look again for a 'spot' to call my own.
I found some rocks over the shoreline and sat there for a while, then decided to move further down the way. It was low tide so I get as close to the water as I can.
Found a nice big rock to sit on and looked around for a few minutes and in flew an Egret. Those photos will be posted later as well. Then the family of ducks :-) video
Then as I was thinking maybe I should go home a Great Blue Heron flew into the cove. Snap snap snap. ....
Then I began watching this Caspian Tern -- what a performer! It was amazing to watch.
So in short today was magical. Aside from the questions about my camera and lens- the most asked is. ... Are you a professional is this why you are taking pictures? No I'm not a professional as in I don't make the majority of my income from taking photos, but my photos are used by conservation groups -like Ducks Unlimited. I take these photos because I want to. Because I want to. ... It makes me happy. :-) Here's hoping your weekend left you happy too.
Special shout out to dnorton2812 who convinced me to remove the uv filter (drop in kind) from my lens.
The two large basalt formations that reach skyward at Jones Beach, north of Kiama, Australia, are collectively called "Cathedral Rocks." I posted a photo of the smaller structure in July of this year, and I captured today's image of the larger "cathedral" under the rising Milky Way the same June night I shot the previously posted scene.
Light from the LED lamps I'd placed near the edge of the rock shelf that I stood on combined with the photons spilling from streetlights and homes in the suburb of Kiama Downs to illuminate the rocks, the distant headland and the water surrounding the rocky island.
The five single-frame photos I shot and then stacked to create this image were all captured with my Canon EOS 6D Mk II camera and a Rokinon 24mm f/1.4 lens @ f/3.2, using an exposure time of 15 seconds @ ISO 6400.
This is a shot of the very recent Annular Solar Eclipse. Captured today Oct.14, 2023 ... 9:15 AM. Pacific Standard Time. It is not the best eclipse image that I have captured, because I had a lot of things working against me. I had some wind and clouds to deal with and a few camera adjustments that I should have made but did not. Such is the life of a photographer!
I thought this image captured today would work nicely as a mono.
I revisited the park where springs keep a section of water open all winter. We are now finally in full spring melt so there is a vast span of open water where twenty days ago had been ice. As a result, there were not as many swans congregating where they do when the ice is competing with the springs for dominance. There was one juvenile that appeared to be losing its grey feathers and getting the snow white plumage indicative of an adult. That swan was curious enough to make its way to the shore where I was located. I captured this image on its approach.
My old Minolta 135mm manual lens was attached to the a6000.
Female Kingfisher on her way back to the perch after a successful dive, captured today in the sunshine.
A stunning yellow rose, captured today at 't Bloummhoeske in 't Waar, Oldambt municipality. The photo was taken between rain showers, with fresh raindrops clearly visible on the delicate petals and green leaves, giving it a fresh and vibrant look.
Another day with a forecast of low cloud and >95% chance of rain. In these conditions there isn't much else other than fast flowing rivers that are worthwhile capturing.
Today, we travelled to Buttermere via Cockermouth and Crummock Water to reach the foot of Scale Force, a huge waterfall that sits in a gorge on red pike and feeds Crummock Water via Scale Beck. It's actually the tallest waterfall in the Lake District at 170ft tall.
I've been to Buttermere a number of times and never seen Scale Force flowing as quickly as it was today. We could even hear it from over 1/2 a kilometre away.
I really love how the water has a true shine on it in this capture.
Today I dug deep in the camera bag and found my old but excellent 24mm f2.8 lens, hooked up the Eos1DX a fresh battery for the cold conditions and headed out for some different pictures.
Kingfishers can still be seen fishing at the Ramsar hide- we also see them at the Scrape hide and on the Arun Riverlife Lagoon as the birds make a circuit around the site to feed. A beautiful bird to see and capture today at WWT Arundel west Sussex & a super day out had by all..
This was captured today at Tsaritsino Park, in Moscow. It was freezing cold but yet we (Alif and Shahrul) had fun under the sun after so long.
Enjoy!
Another photo from my 2019 trove, I captured today’s image on an empty and quiet rural road near Goulburn, Australia. I should correct that first sentence. There was no traffic about, and no hint of wind to create any rustling of leaves in the treetops. There was one noise that persisted, though. I could hear the sound for the whole of the 45 minutes that I took photos along the straight stretch of road. Those barking dogs were set on annoying me, I reckoned, and they did their best to make sure that any people within earshot would wonder if they should go out to see what the problem was.
Luckily, nobody ended up coming to see me and ask what I was doing, lurking in the dark at 2:00 am. I was left to myself to photograph the Milky Way and the planet Jupiter as they rode high in the sky, with the green background of atmospheric airglow to colour the celestial scene. In the distance, towards the road’s vanishing point, the Small Magellanic Cloud hung low in the sky that was slightly yellowed by the light pollution from the city of Canberra.
This photograph is a single-frame image that I captured with a Canon EOS 6D Mk II camera, a Samyang 14mm f/2.4 lens @ f/3.2, using an exposure time of 20 seconds @ ISO 6400.
Considering the poor record we have in Native American relations over the past 200 years, who can blame this brave warrior for checking his flank. :-)
Captured today at the Howard Country Fairgrounds during the 16th Annual Howard County Pow Wow. For non-Marylanders, Howard County is roughly in the middle between Washington DC and Baltimore.
Before the dancing, the tribes honored all those who served the USA in all branches of the military. Very classy.
Met my good Flickr buddy Toshio and his wife Keri. Glad to have you back in town!
Female Kingfisher captured today.
I wanted her on the top of this Oak perch but as it was so windy she felt much more comfy half way up.
Theres always tomorrow.
Female Kingfisher on her way back up to the perch after a successful dive, captured today at my Somerset hide.

Captured today while on a walk with our grandson.
Male Mallards have a dark, iridescent-green head and bright yellow bill. The gray body is sandwiched between a brown breast and black rear. Females and juveniles are mottled brown with orange-and-brown bills. Both sexes have a white-bordered, blue “speculum” patch in the wing.
Mallards are “dabbling ducks”—they feed in the water by tipping forward and grazing on underwater plants. They almost never dive. They can be very tame ducks especially in city ponds, and often group together with other Mallards and other species of dabbling ducks.
Mallards can live in almost any wetland habitat, natural or artificial. Look for them on lakes, ponds, marshes, rivers, and coastal habitats, as well as city and suburban parks and residential backyards.

Thanks for visiting!
I am honored to photograph the acclaimed artist Dave Benning in his studio located in White Rock, British Columbia, Canada. Known for his celebrity portraits, Dave’s studio is a gallery of fame adorned with captivating paintings showcasing both historical and contemporary figures. Beyond traditional canvases, Dave's remarkable work includes a mural depicting Terry Fox and the Marathon of Hope, entirely on a typewriter. A particular highlight that grabs my attention is an incredible chalk portrait of Laurel and Hardy on a blackboard. Surveying his diverse talents, the studio not only showcases artistic prowess but also features photographs capturing moments of Dave sharing his creations with luminaries like Robin Williams and Tony Bennett. The portrait I'm capturing today depicts Dave immersed in his latest masterpiece featuring The Beatles.
