You can just see the pilot as he concentrates to bring this Cessna Citation Longitude in to land at Houston’s West Side Airport. This is a business jet produced by Cessna, part of the Cessna Citation family. The Model 700 made its first flight on October 8, 2016.
I spent some time today witnessing one of the most remarkable waterfowl sights in the whole world. Somewhere between 10,000 - 15,000 tundra swans are staging right here in the Upper Mississippi River before heading east to Chesapeake Bay for the winter. I took video footage on my smartphone to add some sound, which is sensational, but then I wasn't smart enough to get it on Flickr. Sorry.
Little Egret (Egretta garzetta)
Seen in the Werribee River Park at Werribee South in March last year.
Eastern Great Egret (Ardea modesta)
So intent on scanning the water it paid no attention to us as my mate Gil and I walked along the boardwalk.
I love to watch Terns negotiate their landing spots. They need to find a spot within the other shorebirds on the rocks and it takes full concentration. The background is the water. The shot was taken very early in the morning.
The shot below is a close-up of its head and feet which show its intense focus.

On the way back down from Old Man of Storr.
Sorry I'm a bit erratic with posts & comments. That's what more pothole enquiries than we've ever had and 50% staffing levels does for you! We typically repair about 40,000 potholes per year where I work but last financial year it was 120,000!! So if you hit one please don't swear at the poor highway people as their budgets have been cut a lot since 2010 whatever your MP may tell you. I certainly had to really concentrate on the road between Portree and just north of Staffin, there were some craters! Rant over!
The shot above was taken as I had started to walk back down from The Old Man of Storr. I liked the way the clouds were flowing up and over the land and the effect of the white coat Skye was wearing. Not a portfolio image (do I have any worthy? 😂) but one I liked and thought I'd post. I had hoped to be in bed sleeping off a 3am shooting the Milky way but the forecast deteriorated and didn't feel like risking a 90min drive to get to site for about 2am so am posting this instead Lightweight aren't I ?!!
Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Ah that feeling is starting to seep in. That warm and fuzzy thing we call love.Prepping trees, baking cookies (eating cookies) and decorating. Please let us not forget shopping....
I think it should mainly concentrate on the love.
We have a wee bit of snow.
And that is only in my neighborhood 😄
Thanks to you, my FlickrFriends, I can concentrate on Norway and you can take the rest 😁😁😁
I love travel through your photos 👌
White-faced Heron (Egretta novaehollandiae)
I'm not sure what this one was concentrating on. From 20
Just concentrating on setting this carby up ready for a test and tune day on the morning of race day.
I heard the British Monarchs want the billionaires to concentrate on saving the world , Did you here that too recently ? After all do we not sing or did we sing God save the Queen in school ? Just who is in control anyway ? Certainly not mortal man . God has his own agenda that no one can stop . Read the bible its all there .:) Its a happy ending to those that listen and obey ...
Just about a month before the virus outbreak, I was leading a trip to Ecuador, for friends from California.
This is Northern Green-crowned hummingbird, spotted in cloud forest in Ecuador (different to those in CR which are mostly found in lowlands). Woodnymphs (Thalurania) are medium-sized hummingbirds with a slightly decurved, black bill; the males also have a noticeably forked tail, and glittering throat and belly. They inhabit the understory of humid lowland forest and in adjacent advanced second growth, and often are common.
It is now considered by the AOU as the nominate subspecies of the crowned woodnymph. Even though, it is replaced south by the Green-crowned Woodnymph (eastern Panama south to southwestern Ecuador).
They feed from nectar, taken from a variety of flowers, mainly in the canopy and forest edges, where their food plants include epiphytic Ericaceae and bromeliads, and defend flowers and scrubs in their feeding territories. Females usually stay in the understory. After breeding, both sexes may concentrate at Heliconias. Like other hummingbirds, violet-crowned woodnymph also takes small insects and spiders as an essential source of protein.
The 173,000 heliostats of the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility concentrate sunlight onto three towers containing boilers to generate steam for electricity in California near the Nevada border.
In March, I am going to take 10 minutes each morning and try again to learn meditation. Last year I tried and was very hit and miss and just got frustrated. I have found over the past few months that I don't concentrate well and find my mind jumping around unable to focus on tasks at hand. I just finished listening to the audio book "Attending" which is about mindfulness and medical practice. I am not involved in medicine or health care but I still found it useful and informative. There are many people who I find amazing that are devout practitioners of some sort of mindfulness exercise daily, if this is their open secret then I really was to give it my best effort. Being present and able to focus better in my life sounds like a win for me and those with whom I regularly interact. If you practice meditation, please share anything that a beginner might find helpful. Thank you!
Great Egret (Ardea alba) hunting for prey at Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve in Lee County, Florida, USA.
Rework of an old shot from 2011.
The sea was extremely rough and the skipper of the catamaran had his hands full at times.

Easy Lith FT Special followed by Pyrocatechol (new formulation) Pyrocat. 10ml + Lith B 10ml + NH4Cl 5ml
Pyrocatechol is a new formulation with a stabilised acidic Catechol concentrate.
An activator is needed, because this concentrate doesn´t contain an alkali. The advantage is a shelf life of some years. I did the test solution in 2019 and subsequently forgot about it.
Gasteruptiid Wasp (family Gasteruptiidae (subfamily Gasteruptiinae)) female
Usually these Wasps will fly off if I get within five feet of them. This Lady, however, was so engrossed she allowed me to get in very close for a number of shots. I chose this one for today for the Eyes of March Two group.
Happy Eyes of March!
