Testing out the macro capabilities of the Sigma 150 with the lens wide open for the first time. The subject: our 'little trumpets' - or 'saxophones'? ;-)

Large, glossy-black bird with a wedge-shaped tail. Larger than a crow with a longer, thicker bill. Distinctive shape in flight, with rather long, swept-back wings and long tail. Note smoother, steadier wingbeats compared with faster, choppier wingbeats of crows. Extensive range throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Found in a wide variety of habitats, including desert, coniferous forest, coastlines, sagebrush, tundra, and grasslands. Often solitary or in pairs, but can gather in small groups. Typical call is a loud, guttural croak, but makes an astonishing variety of other strange noises. Compare with Chihuahuan Raven in the southwestern U.S. and Mexico, and with various large, all-dark crows and ravens in Europe and Asia. (eBird)
When we started birding in 2005, ravens were unusual enough to take special note. Now, you can expect to see one on nearly every birding outing. So interesting to see how things change over time.

There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large
And the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray.
Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom
On the gray.
There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say.
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain, baby.
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny.
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large
And the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray.
Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah.
Now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom
On the gray.
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray,
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray,
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray.
If I should fall along the way.
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray.
There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say.
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain.

Yes, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray.
Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah.

A light hits the gloom

Like North Falls further upstream, Middle North Falls has certain characteristics which one could argue give it an edge when comparing it to the park's main attraction, South Falls. Despite being considerably shorter, Middle North Falls is a markedly amorphous waterfall which changes physical shape in a very dramatic way as the volume of water in North Silver Creek changes. The 106 foot tall falls take the form of a narrow column of water during the summer months, funneled to perhaps 5 feet wide at most by a narrow runnel in the bedrock. With greater stream flow in the winter and spring months however, North Silver Creek sheets out across the 60-foot wide creek bed and turns the falls into a broad curtain of water, with part of the falls impacting on a twisting chute of basalt which then slides to join the more volumnous half of the creek in the plunge pool.
Middle North Falls is one of four waterfalls in Silver Falls State Park which features a trail which traverses behind the falling water. Unlike the other three, the trail leading behind Middle North Falls is a dead-end, constructed purely to allow access to additional views of the falls.

Compared to other members of the genus Canis, the black-backed jackal is a very ancient species, and has changed little since the Pleistocene, being the most basal wolf-like canine, alongside the closely related side-striped jackal. It is a fox-like animal with a reddish brown to tan coat and a black saddle that extends from the shoulders to the base of the tail. It is a monogamous animal, whose young may remain with the family to help raise new generations of pups. The black-backed jackal is not a fussy eater, and feeds on small to medium-sized animals, as well as plant matter. (Wikipedia)
Compared with Oume Kaidou, the Tamagawa seems to have achieved a healthy growth. It flows through decent residential areas in the western suburb of Tokyo to discharge into Tokyo Bay at Haneda in the Oota City (大田区), in which Tokyo Haneda Airport is located.
Although less known than Tokyo Narita Airport, Haneda is larger and closer to downtown Tokyo. Haneda was the fifth largest in the world as of 2019 in terms of passenger volume, and rated the 2nd best airport after Doha Hamad according to the Skytrax ranking.
Haneda Airport is built mostly on the reclaimed land.

If you want to make friends with an Icelandic ..... never call an Icelandic horse a pony .... there isn't even that word in Icelandic.
Icelandic horses look extremely charming and, compared to other horses, rather childishly, in fact they are realy strong, they can survive the harshest winters, the biggest hurricanes and the craziest snowstorms without any effort. In addition, they are so incredibly friendly and gentle that it is impossible not to adore them.
Lightroom just did another update with new tools, and there is now AI enhanced noise reduction. Figured I would give a quick whirl and see what it could do with a night scene captured this past summer at Mono Lake.
The new AI version is on the left, and the right is the version as I edited in Lightroom.
Some pretty impressive results. View large and check them out to compare. The sky, water and light in the water, and the tufa details ... pretty cool results I think.
Let me know what you think with just this quick check. More to learn with this tool and how to apply. Fun to try and learn new things.
The castle was built between 1350 and 1375. In 1534 Renswoude was recognised as a knight royal residence. In 1623 castle Borchwal already expire as Johan van Reede become the owner . This Calvinistic priest finds a church more important than the rebuilding, of his own castle. In the house, on its property where Protestant meetinings kept, the house become much too small. He gets authorisation to build its own church near the castle. This fine cupola church was taken in 1641 in use. Then late Johan van Reede demolishes in 1654 the old castle and build the new, current castle.
The castle park developed itself as from that time slowly in a baroque park, with a straight alley pattern. In 1682 Johan are succeeded by his third zoon, Frederik Adriaan. He was married with Maria Duyst van Voorhout. During the absence of her man she let dig now the Grand still existing canal, compared with the castle alley. Because of this big work, much unemployed persons could helped with the work. But it had been especially intended as a surprise for her man, They are Versailles lgarden overs in that time, so they build there own French garden. On 28 November 1985 there was a big fire on the castle. The fire made a damage of millions of guldens. All the next day, they started with setting up wharf and rebuild the damage. This was reached by the energy of the current owner, baron Taets van Amerongen. In the meantime the castle has been restored entirely. For groups the castle be visit.
Ullswater is the second largest lake in the English Lake District, being approximately nine miles long and with a maximum depth of slightly more than 200 feet. Many regard Ullswater as the most beautiful of the English lakes: it has been compared to Lake Lucerne in Switzerland. It is a typical Lake District narrow "ribbon lake" formed after the last ice age when a glacier scooped out the valley floor. When the glacier retreated, the deepened section filled with meltwater which became a lake.
Old monthly magazine “Kievskaya starina” which specialized in historical subjects, in 1898 wrote:
“For fanciers of church architecture and paintings Cathedral in memory of Assumption of Virgin Mary in Kozelets town in Chernihovskay province represents something such, perhaps, not to see in all famous in this direction cathedrals and churches of St. Petersburg. (…)
Very soon the cathedral was built. It was like a miracle that everyone exclaimed and decided that not only in Chernihiv, but even in Kiev actually no such cathedral”.
Although the analogy with St. Petersburg, but not, say, with Nizhyn or Sorochyntsi is a bit strange, a grain of truth in the old magazine is can be found. Kozelets cathedral, a white giant of Cossack Baroque (34 by 34 meters), is impressed. Involuntarily I even somewhat understand those people from Kiev, who come here to christen their children - if already chose the yoke of religion, it worth to be sweetened with aesthetic chord for the dessert. Beauty is a universal language; it can’t be compared with artificial Esperanto. Here is really very beautiful. Olexiy Razumovsky had a taste and much money (besides he was married secretly to Russian empress Yelyzaveta Petrivna). In this case, it is also very important.
3 bull elephants at a waterhole in the Tembe Elephant Park in KZN near the southern Mozambique boarder with South Africa. Well known for their large tusks. Great simply ''being there''.

A Painted Stork landing in a crowded lot. These large birds require a bit of space to land, but I find them to be gentle compared to say the Herons. Surely, I have not seen or sighted any Storks eating other birds so far.
Thanks in advance for your views / comments. Much appreciated.
If you compare the title and the photo, you might think that Mr. Kaiser is completely crazy now.
After all, it's just an old tree stump that the years have already hollowed out (with the active support of wind, weather, mushrooms and other tiny forest creatures, because time alone can do almost nothing) and which is now filled with autumn leaves and over them a young fern leans over the edge. So much for the observable facts.
But what makes this scene a magical sight is once again the warm light of the evening sun that shines over to us from the edge of the forest. Not only does it change the entire atmosphere here but it also brings in the ferns and moss. which envelops our miniature volcano to glow.
Without this light, it would actually just be a tree stump filled with beech leaves that I might have walked past carelessly (but only maybe).
But when I stood in front of this scene, I immediately had the image of a volcano crater covered in jungle in my mind.
And now I'm kneeling here in the forest, as if in front of an altar, admiring the almost endless beauty of nature.
Wenn Ihr Titel und Foto miteinander vergleicht, dann denkt Ihr möglicherweise, dass der Kaiser jetzt völlig durchgeknallt ist.
Schließlich ist das ja nur alter Baumstumpf, den die Jahre bereits ausgehölt haben (mit tatkräftiger Unterstützung von Wind, Wetter, Pilzen und anderen Kleinstlebewesen des Waldes, denn die Zeit alleine kann so gut wie garnix) und der nun mit Herbstlaub gefüllt ist und über dessen Rand sich ein junger Farn neigt. So viel zu den beobachtbaren Fakten.
Doch was diese Szene zu einem magischen Anblick macht ist einmal mehr das warme Licht Abendsonne, die vom Waldrand zu uns herüber scheint. Sie verändert nicht nur die gesamte Atmospäre hier sondern bringt auch noch den Farn und das Moos. welches unseren Miniaturvulkan umhüllt zum Leuchten.
Ohne dieses Licht wäre das wohl tatsächlich nur ein mit Buchenlaub gefüller Baumstupf an dem ich eventuell achtlos vorüber gelaufen wäre (aber nur eventuell).
Doch so hatte ich sofort das Bild eines vom Jungle bedeckten Vulkankraters vor Augen, als ich vor dieser Szene stand.
Und nun knie ich hier im Wald, wie vor einem Altar und bewundere die schier unendliche Schönheit der Natur.

First time here. We were told by locals that this is a trickle compared to what it looks like other times of year. This location is about 75 miles from me (90 minutes.)

Interesting to see the two species on the one flower today'
As I am wont to say 'I am about 10 hours behind on an 8 hour day today'
Will catch up when I can.
On the left, a Honey Bee (Apis mellifera). On the right, in flight and not very sharp, the tiniest Hoverfly I ever saw, subject of my previous picture. The flowers being very close, this picture gives a good idea of the size difference between the two insects.

Hundru Falls, Ranchi
This is not much of a waterfall to admire in December as water was less compared to rainy season . Located about 45 km away from the city. Access to the waterfall is ardous as one has to climb down and climb up a flight of 1100 stairs. Its extremely tiresome doing the flight of stairs.
This is a male Barrow's Goldeneye. Compared to the Common Goldeneye I posted earlier, the Barrow's has a crescent-shaped white mark on its face and a purplish head. In contrast, the male Common goldeneye features a circular white spot on its face and a greenish head. The Barrrow's also has a flatter head.

Growing in a ancient damp hedgerow. Not sure if it is Tutsan. The flowers are larger than the Hypericum in my garden. Smaller than the Hypericum in the herb garden and tiny compared to Rose of Sharon. Difficult as where it was is old, but there are a lot of garden escapes in the field.

Shutter's whiskers are fairly camouflaged, compared to her sister. Luckily, I found her resting in a place that afforded some contrast.
Alas, she wouldn't stay put either; to the camera's eye, she was looking fuzzier than usual.
She's looking a little worse for wear compared to the last time I saw her, but NS SD60E 6963, specially painted to promote rail transportation, still looks pretty good pulling train 223 down the "Broadway" main south out of Luther Yard in St. Louis, MO.
Winter storm Jupiter has given the area a brief pause, giving me a chance to escape three stir-crazy kids for a few hours.
On peut le comparer à cette pierre si rare,
Dont la couleur dépend des effets de lumière,
Ou à Ces statuettes vendues dans les foires,
Annonçant, bleues ou roses, le temps qu’il devrait faire.
Ses reflets ont parfois le blanc de l’innocence,
D’une étendue de neige au lever du soleil,
De la candeur intacte, qui est propre à l’enfance,
De la virginité d’une vie en éveil.
Sa lueur peut se faire aussi noire que la nuit,
Profonde et ténébreuse, aux instants de détresse,
Elle est quelquefois grise comme un jour de pluie,
Aux heures de solitude, d’ennui et de tristesse.
Il a de temps en temps le bleu de l’océan,
Ou d’un ciel sans nuages, propice aux rêveries,
Un bleu calme, infini, limpide et reposant,
Comme ces quelques trêves, offertes par la vie.
Il peut devenir rouge, de colère ou de sang,
Ou rouge de passion, brûlant comme la braise.
Il se teinte d’un vert presque phosphorescent,
Quand l'espoir apparait ; que les doutes se taisent.
Il peut briller de rose quand naît le romantisme,
Scintiller du violet de la délicatesse,
Étinceler de jaune ; empreinte d’égoïsme,
Ou flamboyer d’orange aux moments d’allégresse.
Mais quel est ce mystère aux teintes volatiles ?
Est-ce un jeu de lumière ? Est-ce un caméléon ?
Non.
C’est le cœur d’une femme aux nuances subtiles,
Dont la couleur varie au rythme des saisons.
Liliane ROSATI
We can compare it to this rare stone,
Whose color depends on light effects,
Or to these statuettes sold at fairs,
Announcing, blue or pink, the weather forecast.
Its reflections sometimes have the white of innocence,
From an expanse of snow at sunrise,
Intact candor, which is proper to childhood,
Of the virginity of an awakening life.
Its glow can turn as dark as night,
Deep and dark, in moments of distress,
She is sometimes gray like a rainy day,
In times of loneliness, boredom and sadness.
It has from time to time the blue of the ocean,
Or of a cloudless sky, conducive to daydreams,
A calm, infinite, limpid and restful blue,
Like these few truces, offered by life.
It can turn red, with anger or blood,
Or red with passion, burning like embers.
It is tinged with an almost phosphorescent green,
When hope appears; let the doubts fall away.
It can shine rosy when romanticism is born,
Sparkle with the violet of delicacy,
Sparkle with yellow; imprint of selfishness,
Or blaze orange in moments of joy.
But what is this volatile-hued mystery?
Is it a play of light? Is it a chameleon?
No.
It is the heart of a woman with subtle nuances,
Whose color varies with the seasons.
Une femme est comme un arc-en-ciel... elle donne à la vie ses couleurs lumineuses. Bonne fête à vous toutes et merci de mettre autant d'éclat et de douceur dans nos vies.
A woman is like a rainbow... she gives life its luminous colors. Happy holliday to all of you and thank you for bringing so much brilliance and sweetness into our lives.

The Sound of Freedom
youtu.be/Rt0kp4VW1cI?si=Skq50crQ8baESTkD
A must watch, and a vanilla movie compared to the reality of what is taking place globally.
For many it is confronting, heart wrenching and shocking - and so it should be. However, it pales in comparison to what is really happening globally.
Trapped and trafficked is rampant. Cover ups, lies and deception.
The depth of misery on humanity on a scale that is unfathomable.
Pray for justice in this world, for all the souls who have been fractured beyond repair.
The demonic force is rampant and until humanity wakes up, and takes a stand we will continue to witness atrocities so barbaric most would find unbelievable.
May our heavenly father protect the children, the abused, the forgotten ones in society.
It breaks my heart witnessing all that is done to God's children.
Falling From The Sky....
Today was a particularly wet and rainy day. I looked outside and thought this is a good day to stay inside.
However Karen and I donned the rain gear put on our boots, grabbed a couple of umbrellas and headed out to heart lake. the fall colours were quite subdued compared to most years. but we found several beautiful spots to take photos. this shot of a fallen birch nestled on the waters edge was one of those stunning fall shots that if we had stayed home we would never have gotten. i am so glad we weren't afraid of a little rain.
Thank you for visiting and for marking my photo as a favourite and also for the kind comments,

On Middlebere heath in Dorset. A very impressive insectivorous plant, standing twice as high or more compared to the Round-leaved ones we get here on the Somerset levels.
There are records from SWT Yarty moor, but I've not been there yet, so maybe a place to visit next summer.
If you're in Victoria, Australia, and you're into camping, Murrindindi Scenic Reserve is a must see. Compared to the rest of the world, Australia is relatively flat. Finding waterfalls in my home state of Victoria is not easy, especially if you live in the city. Murrindindi is about a 90 minute drive North East of Melbourne. The Wilhelmina Falls and Murrindindi River Cascades are among the best waterfalls in Victoria.
This is a bracketed HDR image taken from the suspension bridge crossing the river. I probably could have gotten away with a single image, but it was an overcast day and the foliage was very dark and I didn't want to blow out the highlights from the rushing water.
“The quintessential early bird, American Robins are common sights on lawns across North America, where you often see them tugging earthworms out of the ground. Robins are popular birds for their warm orange breast, cheery song, and early appearance at the end of winter. Though they’re familiar town and city birds, American Robins are at home in wilder areas, too, including mountain forests and Alaskan wilderness….. American Robins are fairly large songbirds with a large, round body, long legs, and fairly long tail. Robins are the largest North American thrushes, and their profile offers a good chance to learn the basic shape of most thrushes. Robins make a good reference point for comparing the size and shape of other birds, too….. American Robins are industrious and authoritarian birds that bound across lawns or stand erect, beak tilted upward, to survey their environs. When alighting they habitually flick their tails downward several times. In fall and winter they form large flocks and gather in trees to roost or eat berries.”
