Description: View of the center of Kuala Lumpur city during blue hour after a gloomy sunset. I have always visioned this image and alhamdulillah it was given the opportunity by a very good friend. However due to the anxiousness, I left my filter bag in the car and had to shoot without any added filter.

Your comments and faves are greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Grey Fantail - they're everywhere along the river.

Scientific Name: Rhipidura albiscapa

Description: The Grey Fantail is most easily recognised by its constantly fanned tail and agile aerial twists and turns. Both sexes are similar in appearance: grey above, with white eyebrow, throat and tail edges. This species is quite inquisitive and will closely approach an observer.

Similar species: Willie Wagtail, Rufous Fantail

Distribution: The Grey Fantail is found throughout Australia.

Habitat: The Grey Fantail is found in most treed habitats.

Feeding: The Grey Fantail feeds on flying insects, which it catches by chasing them from the edge of foliage at all levels in the canopy.

Breeding: The Grey Fantail builds its nest in a thin tree-fork, unusually between 2 and 5 metres from the ground. It is made of fine grass bound together with large amounts of spider web. The bottom of the nest is drawn out into a long stem, resembling that of a wine-glass. Both parents share nest-building, incubation of the eggs and feeding of the young when they hatch.

The nest of the Grey Fantail has a long tapering stem that resembles a wine-glass.

Calls: Ascending, tinkling, whistles and squeaks.

Minimum Size: 14cm

Maximum Size: 16cm

Average size: 15cm

Average weight: 9g

40.5°C, alice river - brown goshawk #3 by Chris Burns

79 15

Your comments and faves are greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Brown Goshawk

Scientific Name:Accipiter fasciatus

Description: Brown Goshawks are medium-sized raptors (birds of prey). They have a brown head, slate-grey to brown upperparts with a red-brown collar across the upper nape of the neck, and finely barred underparts of red-brown with white. The rounded wings are dark brown to grey above and buff to reddish brown below with darker wingtips, and the long rounded tail is grey with dark bars. The long legs are yellow, with reddish brown feathering about the thighs. The eye is bright yellow. Males are smaller than females. Young birds have grey-brown eyes, with brown, streaky plumage. There are several subspecies, with the northern sub-species, didimus, being generally smaller and paler. The Brown Goshawk is widespread but secretive.

Similar species: The Brown Goshawk is very similar in plumage to the related raptor (bird of prey) species, the Collared Sparrowhawk, A. cirrhocephalus, which has a notched or square-tipped tail rather than rounded, and has thinner legs and toes and lacks the Brown Goshawk's heavy brow. Female Sparrowhawks are around the same size (35 cm - 38 cm) as male Brown Goshawks, but males are significantly smaller (29 cm - 33 cm).

Where does it live?

Distribution: Brown Goshawks are found across Australia in suitable habitats. They are also found in New Guinea, the Lesser Sundas, New Caledonia and the New Hebrides.

Habitat: The Brown Goshawk is found in most timbered habitats.

Seasonal movements: Northern birds are sedentary, but southern birds tend to be nomadic, and immature birds move north when dispersing during the winter months.

Feeding: Brown Goshawks feed on small mammals, with rabbits a particularly important prey item, as well as birds, reptiles and insects and sometimes, carrion (dead animals). They hunt stealthily from a low, concealed perch, using sudden, short bursts of speed to pounce onto prey and use their long legs and clawed toes to reach out and strike it. It will occasionally stalk or run along the ground after insects. Prey items are taken back to a perch to be partially plucked (mammals, birds) and then eaten.

Breeding: The Brown Goshawk builds its large stick nest on a horizontal limb of the tallest tree available, often near a waterway or at the edge of a forest. It may sometimes re-use an old raptor's nest. The nest is kept lined with fresh eucalypt leaves. Both parents defend the nest and surrounding territory aggressively. Established pairs will reuse the same area year after year, and often use the same nest. The female incubates the eggs, with the male helping when she needs to leave the nest to feed. The male does the bulk of the hunting to feed the young, which remain dependent on their parents for up to three weeks after fledging. Young birds disperse widely, with distances of up to 900 km not uncommon, to find and establish their own breeding territories.

Calls:A loud, rising 'keek-keek-keek'; also a slow, drawn out 'ee-you-wick, ee-you-wick'. Females have deeper voices than males.

Minimum Size: 37cm

Maximum Size: 55cm

Average size: 46cm

Average weight: 454g

Breeding season: July to December

Clutch Size: 2 to 4 eggs, usually 3

Incubation: 33 days

Nestling Period: 35 days

sacred kingfisher by Chris Burns

Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.

....from a walk through Oxley Creek Common. Oxley Creek Common is home to a remarkable variety of birds. An experienced observer can find as many as 70 species in one hour of observation during the spring about 10% of all Australia's bird species and several times the diversity one could find walking the suburbs. In the past eleven years over 190 species have been recorded on the Common. (Source: University of Queensland)

Sacred Kingfisher

Scientific Name: Todiramphus sanctus

Description: The Sacred Kingfisher is a medium sized kingfisher. It has a turquoise back, turquoise blue rump and tail, buff-white underparts and a broad cream collar. There is a broad black eye stripe extending from bill to nape of neck. Both sexes are similar, although the female is generally lighter with duller upper parts. Young birds are similar to the female, but have varying amounts of rusty-brown edging to feathers on the collar and underparts, and buff edges on the wing coverts.

Distribution: The Sacred Kingfisher is common and familiar throughout the coastal regions of mainland Australia and less common throughout Tasmania. The species is also found on islands from Australasia to Indonesia and New Zealand.

Habitat: The Sacred Kingfisher inhabits woodlands, mangroves and paperbark forests, tall open eucalypt forest and melaleuca forest.

Seasonal movements: In Australia, Sacred Kingfishers spend the winter in the north of their range and return south in the spring to breed.

Feeding: Sacred Kingfishers forage mainly on the land, only occasionally capturing prey in the water. They feed on crustaceans, reptiles, insects and their larvae and, infrequently, fish. The birds perch on low exposed branch on the lookout for prey. Once prey is located, the Sacred Kingfisher swoops down and grasps it in its bill, returning to the perch to eat it.

Breeding: For most of the year Sacred Kingfishers are mainly solitary, pairing only for the breeding season. Usually two clutches are laid in a season. Both sexes excavate the nest, which is normally a burrow in a termite mound, hollow branch or river bank. The nest chamber is unlined and can be up to 20m above the ground. Both sexes also incubate the eggs and care for the young.

Calls: The voice of the Sacred Kingfisher is a loud "ek ek ek ek" repeated continuously throughout breeding season. Birds also give a "kee kee kee" in excitement and a series of chirring, scolding notes when alarmed.

Minimum Size: 19cm

Maximum Size: 24cm

Average size: 21cm

Average weight: 45g

Breeding season: September to December; occasionally extended to March, if conditions are favourable.

Clutch Size: 3 to 6

Incubation: 18 days

Nestling Period: 26 days

Autumn's Canopy: A San Jose Street's Seasonal Spectacle by Randy Herring

22 17

Thanks for the comments, faves and visits

This captivating image showcases the breathtaking beauty of autumn in a residential area of San Jose, California. The photograph captures a tree-lined street where nature's artistry is on full display, creating a stunning tunnel of fall colors.

Majestic trees flank both sides of the street, their branches reaching across to form a natural archway. The foliage is a vibrant mix of russet, gold, and lingering green, illustrating the gradual transition of seasons. The interplay of sunlight filtering through the leaves creates a warm, dappled effect on the street below.

The road itself stretches invitingly into the distance, its vanishing point drawing the eye towards modest suburban homes barely visible through the autumnal curtain. Parked cars line both sides of the street, their presence a reminder of the lived-in nature of this picturesque neighborhood.

The scene is bathed in the golden light of late afternoon, enhancing the rich autumn palette and casting long shadows that add depth and texture to the composition. This lighting perfectly accentuates the seasonal transformation, making each leaf seem to glow with inner warmth.

This image encapsulates the unique charm of San Jose's residential areas, where the beauty of nature harmoniously coexists with urban living. It serves as a testament to the city's commitment to maintaining a green canopy, providing residents with a daily dose of natural splendor right outside their doors.

The photograph invites viewers to imagine themselves strolling down this enchanting street, perhaps hearing the crunch of fallen leaves underfoot, and breathing in the crisp autumn air. It's a serene snapshot of suburban life in Silicon Valley, reminding us of the simple yet profound beauty that each changing season brings to our everyday surroundings.

Heaven's not enough Kanno Youko

My Books:

Heaven's not enough

if when you get there...

just another blue

and heaven's not enough

you think you've found it

and it loses you

you've thought of all there is

but not enough

and it loses you in a cloud

"there" most everything is nothin'

that it seems

"where" you see the things you only wanna see

I'd fly away

to a higher plane

to say words I resist

to float away

to sigh

to breath.... forget

and heaven's not enough

if when I'm there I don't remember you

and heaven does enough

you think you know it

and it uses you

I saw so many things

but like a dream

always losing me in a cloud

cause I couldn't cry

cause I turned away

couldn't see the score

didn't know the pain

of leaving yesterday really far behind

in another life

in another dream

by a different name

gave it all away

for a memory

and a quiet life

and I felt the face

of a cold tonight

still don't know the score

but I know the pain

of leaving everything really far behind

and if I could cry

and if I could live what truth I did then take me there

heaven good by

El núcleo de Tarroja de Segarra está situado en la cuesta a la derecha del río Sió, a medio camino entre Cervera y Guissona.

El barrio moderno ha estado edificado hacia el norte, donde la cuesta se transforma en plana, cerca de la carretera, donde también encontramos algunas casas diseminadas. Fuera de los arrabales forma un grupo bastante compacto, casi circular, al abrigo de un cercado más primitivo, que estuvo amurallado, centrado por la plaza de la iglesia, por el que se entra a través de tres portales y callejuelas cubiertas.

La iglesia parroquial de Sant Salvador fue construida durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII. Conserva el campanario, edificado durante el siglo XV encima del ábside de la antigua iglesia románica de la cual se conservan unos muros, una portalada y parte de la bóveda de un altar lateral.

Por encima de las murallas, la calle del Raval bordea el camino de Sedó, mientras que a lo largo de la muralla inferior se extiende la calle Gual. En la última línea de casas, al oeste, se ven unos muros que formaron parte del antiguo castillo de los condes de Cardona.

Más allá de la ribera no encontramos población.

A la orilla izquierda del río Sió encontramos la ermita de Sant Julià y, en el sector septentrional del término, la ermita de Sant Antoni.

Tarroja, con su conocida tradición que la relaciona con Colom, cumple quince años de publicación de la revista Terra Rubra, la cual colabora en la investigación de este tema. La Segarra, en donde habitaban familias arraigadas como los Oluja y Sacirera entre otros, muy relacionadas con el descubridor, no defrauda a los historiadores que investigan

Cerca de Tarroja se han producido hallazgos arqueológicos, en el Pla de la Mata cerámica neolítica y en los campos de los Vilassos restos de una villa romana del siglo II.

En Tarroja encontramos ya un polideportivo y unas piscinas municipales.

Tarroja celebra la fiesta mayor el primer fin de semana de agosto, por Sant Salvador. El Lunes de Pascua se hace una reunión en la ermita de Sant Julià y el primer domingo de mayo se celebra la fiesta del Roser.

This photo was for my 52frames submission for "DoF" Depth of Field.

I had to take this last minute before work, and the sun wasn't even up yet! So, for lighting I used the little lights over my kitchen stove! I think it turned out pretty good for 'over the stove kitchen lights'!

I think I did a great job for a last minute photo.

I've been in and out of the hospital lately. Going through something. I can use all of the prayers I can get.. But I'm staying positive.

Eventually, you guys will know what's going on.. But in the mean time, I can use lots of prayers!

♂ australasian shovler (breeding) by Chris Burns

Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.

Australasian Shoveler

Scientific Name: Anas rhynchotis

Often associating with other species of ducks, the Australasian Shoveler is often seen in flocks with Pink-eared Ducks. They inhabit a wide variety of wetlands, ranging from terrestrial swamps and lakes to estuaries and even sheltered inshore waters. They prefer wetlands with areas of open water fringed by abundant aquatic vegetation, where they feed in small groups by dabbling in the mud or at the water’s surface to filter small aquatic invertebrates from the water, using small grooves, or lamellae, on the sides of the birds’ spatulate bills.

Description: The Australasian Shoveler is a low-floating, dark headed duck, with a low sloping forehead blending to a heavy, square-cut, shovel-tipped bill. The male in breeding plumage has a deep grey-blue head with a vertical white crescent between the bright-yellow eye and the bill The back and rump are black, and the shoulder and wing coverts are blue-grey with several white bars. The underparts are chestnut, with white patches to the rear of the flanks. Outside the breeding season, the males are much duller. Females have mottled brown upperparts, chestnut underparts, and a dark brown eye. This species is also known as Spoonbill Duck, Shovelbill, Blue-winged Shoveler and Stinker.

Similar Species: The breeding plumage of the Australasian Shoveler is similar to the Chestnut Teal, A. castanea, though this is a much smaller bird, with a green, rather than blue, head and a less massive bill. When dabbling, (feeding with head under the water) the Shoveler's orange legs are distinctive.

Distribution: In Western Australia the Australasian Shoveler can be found from the south up to the North West Cape. In eastern Australia it can be found from as far south as Tasmania to Cairns in the north. It is also found in New Zealand.

Habitat: The Australasian Shoveler is found in all kinds of wetlands, preferring large undisturbed heavily vegetated freshwater swamps. It is also found on open waters and occasionally along the coast.

Feeding: The Australasian Shoveler is a filter feeder, using special lamellae (grooves) along the edges of the bill to filter insects, crustaceans and a variety of plants from the water. This specialised bill limits the Shoveler's foraging range to aquatic habitats on open water or soft mud in fertile wetlands.

Breeding: The Australasian Shoveler breeds at almost any time in the arid parts of the continent, synchronised with flooding rains. Nests are built on the ground in dense vegetation, sometimes on a stump or hollow of a tree that is standing in water. The female alone incubates the eggs and broods the young.

She lay peacefully content in the comfort of home with the moon and stars glisten and sparkle through her window echoing silk reflections on her curtains in their delicate materials her light enveloping the nights shadows as she slowly drifts to sleep in her visionary dreams where numbers of hands ethereal glowing began to float, echo and recede in sweet harmony above her as if watching over her and slowly floating to her window on the night of silvery moon where light transcends through out time and space to leave feelings of peace and serenity in her visionary dreams where freedom resides.....

I am thinking about the very brave, courageous Israeli people right now and all of the innocent people there who are suffering, l pray for peace to the Israeli people to the world soon.

These live on trees and sleep under the bark so what it was doing in Camerahouse Foto Supplies yesterday remains a mystery. It was caught by a photographer and bought to me in a little film canister with little breathing hole in top...

These get pretty big for an Aussie Jumper and also when they move they seemingly have 1 gear R and I think R is for race mode!!

They are a pretty challenging one to Photograph sometimes.

I asked it why it did not bring me the Om1 mkii but at the time of posting this I am still waiting for a response.

I made this hand held stack using my Diffuser.

I left WB as is and did not tweak color in any way.

The editing is minimal

There is no removing of concentrated light in the catch lights in Adobe PS.

Happy with the new version of CJ diffuser. It is not as tall and not as long. I have learned a lot while developing it. The final diffusion system is 1 panel but it is a 3 stage layer thickness to make sure it is cutting light more where the brightest part is to make it as even as I can across the frame without sacrificing output from the flash. Hey I want my battery to last as long as possible (longer shooting) and I dont want to melt my flash either.

Since a macro diffuser is a direct system ( I love indirect studio softboxes ) a lot of diffusers have hotspots to some degree.

Not CJ Diffuser V2.

To my knowledge the stuff (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)I have used is not being used by anyone else. It is very strong , heat and cold resistant and also chemical and uv resistant.

Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.

"Hope is patience with the lamp lit."
