Snipe are medium sized, skulking wading birds with short legs and long straight bills. Both sexes are mottled brown above, with paler buff stripes on the back, dark streaks on the chest and pale under parts. They are widespread as a breeding species in the UK, with particularly high densities on northern uplands but lower numbers in southern lowlands (especially south west England). In winter, birds from northern Europe join resident birds.
The UK population of snipe has undergone moderate declines overall in the past twenty-five years, with particularly steep declines in lowland wet grassland, making it an Amber List species. (Wikipedia)

The great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) is a medium-sized woodpecker with pied black and white plumage and a red patch on the lower belly. Males and young birds also have red markings on the neck or head. This species is found across the Palearctic including parts of North Africa. Across most of its range it is resident, but in the north some will migrate if the conifer cone crop fails. Some individuals have a tendency to wander, leading to the recent recolonisation of Ireland and to vagrancy to North America. Great spotted woodpeckers chisel into trees to find food or excavate nest holes, and also drum for contact and territorial advertisement; like other woodpeckers, they have anatomical adaptations to manage the physical stresses from the hammering action. This species is similar to the Syrian woodpecker. (Wikipedia)

The Zollverein colliery was an active coal mine in Essen from 1851 to 1986. It was named after the German Zollverein, founded in 1834. Today it is an architectural and industrial monument.
.. my favorite sculpture in the fabulous Wilhelm-Hack-Museum LU .. happy Tuesday :) .. btw .. it's free on Saturday's ..enjoy!
I used macro converters (8 plus 16 mm) with my Lensbaby lens to photograph Blanca from just inches away! I discovered she has some split ends at the tip of her tail - maybe I need to change her shampoo!! ;)
Following a vigorous morning beach walk, she was stretched out on the floor in front of the window soaking up the sunshine and barely took notice when I was holding up her tail in front of the camera. I adore every millimeter of her from nose to tail!
PS: This looks better on a light background. Didn't think about that when I made this.

Wann ist der nächste Vollmond? Der nächste Vollmond im Jahr 2022 ist im November am Dienstag, 08.11.2022, um 12:01 Uhr.
On Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022, the moon will pass through the shadow of Earth resulting in a total lunar eclipse that will be from Oceania, the Americas, Asia, and Northern Europe.
During the total lunar eclipse, the moon may take on a brownish red-hue that results from light from the sun hitting its disk after being bent around the Earth by our planet's atmosphere, which also filters out blue light.
Tried out JPEG shooting with a bit of editorial licence (Fujifilm's raw converter, Luminar, and macOS High Sierra photo editor).
A défaut d'avoir mon objectif macro en permanence en voyage, je me contente parfois d'anneaux convertisseurs pour assouvir mes besoins pour un travail photographique à faire de plus près. #Macro #MacroMondays #PhotographicEquipment

An atmospheric shot taken with a defocussed lens. SOOC - no processing whatever.
It was a rather special lens combination - the quirky SMC Pentax 85mm f:2.2 Soft with the Rear Converter 1.4x-L (which extends a good two centimetres into the barrel of the lens), giving a focal length of approx. 120mm.
To be quite honest, it was something of an accident, but I liked it so much that I had another go with a slightly different exposure setting. But no! This was the one!
HMT!
The main subject in this image is some kind of rusty, minor drainpipe, sticking out of a backstreet wall. I liked the rich, abstract-reality imagery produced by the rust-derived colors, the wall's stucco texture and the shadowed light.

The great white Egret, As the name suggests, the great white egret is a large, white heron. Great white egrets can look similar to little egrets, but they are much larger - the same size as the familiar grey heron. Other identification features to look out for include black feet (not yellow), yellow beak (in juvenile and non-breeding plumage) and a different fishing technique, more like that of the grey heron.

This is a pretty pretty window, I think. The extra work to make this, compared to rectangular windows was worth it.

Lightning storm passes overhead in Arkansas.
This was an interesting shoot ... I had my remote trigger attached to the D300, and was literally running back and forth inside my home to avoid being struck. Times I felt my arm hair move: 4!
Luckily, it never really poured. Just a few sprinkles.
I'll probably upload a few more.
I thought I'd try and identify the insects this recently fledged Red-Backed Shrike was hunting. I suspect it's one of the commonest Bumblebees here in SW Germany or probably in Europe, the Buff-tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris). Please correct me if I'm mistaken.
Learning to hunt is especially important particularly that very soon, perhaps in less that one week these first year shrikes will have to look for food all the way to their wintering grounds in South Africa!
The genus name, Lanius , is derived from the Latin word for " butcher ", and some shrikes are also known as "butcher birds" because of their feeding habits.
The Red-backed Shrike bird (Lanius collurio) is a member of the shrike family Laniidae. The general colour of the males upper parts is reddish. It has a grey head and a typical shrike black stripe through the eye. Underparts are tinged pink and the tail has a black and white pattern similar to that of a wheatear. In the female and young Red-backed Shrikes, the upperparts are brown and vermiculated (wavy lines or markings). Underparts are buff and also vermiculated.
This 16 – 18 centimetres long migratory passerine eats large insects, small birds, voles and lizards. Like other shrikes the Red-backed Shrike hunts from prominent perches and impales corpses on thorns or barbed wire as a ‘larder’.
The Red-backed Shrike breeds in most of Europe and western Asia and winters in tropical Africa.
The Red-backed Shrikes range is decreasing and it is now probably extinct in Great Britain as a breeding bird, although it is frequent on migration.
The Red-backed Shrike is named as a protected bird in Britain under a Biodiversity Action Plan. The Red-backed Shrikes’ decline is due to overuse of pesticides and scrub clearance due to human overpopulation.
The Red-backed Shrike breeds in open cultivated country with hawthorn and dog rose.
