At least I believe this is the correct ID, waiting for iNaturalist to confirm. Identification confirmed (6/25).
Heading out when I looked left and saw this visitor 2 doors up...pretty sure its a Mistle Thrush (bigger, pale wing edges, please correct me if wrong)...a nicer angle not possible without trespassing and a knock on the door!
Brown Thrasher Toxostoma rufum ( I Think) correct me if I'm wrong ???? He / She was on my bird feeder this morning in St Augustine, Florida. Beautiful bird
Due to my health condition, I am unable to hold or stabilize a camera for extended periods of time. Additionally, using a tripod has never been enjoyable for me, as it would cause pain when trying to position it correctly and constantly bending over to check the viewfinder. Consequently, I have chosen to explore digital AI artwork as an alternative. I understand that this may not be everyone's cup of tea, as it diverges from traditional photography. However, I have always granted myself the freedom to exercise artistic license and pursue whatever brings me joy. Currently, digital AI artwork fulfills that purpose, at least for the time being.
Sometimes you have to go back to the start to remember where you came from.
Flit crawls from the burning wreckage making her way to the nearest wasteland outpost. The markers have changed and she quickly becomes lost in the blowing sandstorms.
Looking down at her rusting arm she quickly remembers why she left in the first place, she could never belong here anymore - the tales forgot - buried deep in the junkyard tunnels.
If she remembers correctly, there was an old jump point along the coast past the North Yard, maybe she can find her way back there and rift to the next destination in her log...

Azoury - Peu de mots Mask @ Fameshed
Only the center was exposed correctly. Everything else was pulled from the shadows. I liked the impressionist type look it left.
… and getting my attention. She doesn't quite accept my work on the keyboard when she wants attention (snuggling on my shoulder while I type is only good for a brief time.) She is more than happy to block keyboard access and ability to see display both. Tikki also gets attention by opera arias, moving pictures hanging from walls and sinking claws delicately into my leg but let’s stick with this. Happy Caturday 5 June 2021 “Getting Attention.”

(Argynnis adippe) .... i think i have the identification correct on this beautiful butterfly, but im open to correction :-))
Going back 10 years and a few days ago, here we see the regular Sunday morning CP transfer running from Superior to Duluth in 2010. Soo 4603 and 4601 head through No Name in Duluth, MN with a transfer for Rices Point on April 4, 2010.
This particular train ran every Sunday morning for many years and this day had two original Soo GP40s for power. If I remember correctly, the Soo GP40s got on this train because Engineer Burlaga hostled the power around at Stinson to get this matching pair for us out doing photos. The Soo 4603 looks kind of rough but think it is in its original 1967 paint.
Miss shooting the likes of Burlaga and Lohrbach in the right-hand seat of CP trains around Twin Ports, but time moves on.
Only shot I could find of this transfer, bringing grain loads to Duluth. Probably had to home for Easter Dinner I suppose.
Montezuma Oropendola - This seems to be a fairly common bird in Costa Rica. They would often fly in as squawking, noisy groups much like the Mexican Jays we see at Madera Canyon; scaring off the smaller birds. This is a medium sized bird, maybe a little larger then the aforementioned Mexican Jays. This image was taken in very low light, at a high ISO, so there was a lot of noise in the background. One of the editing techniques I regularly employ is to copy and open the RAW image and tweak it for the subject and save as a PSD (BIRD), and then open the same copied RAW file and reprocess it for the background and save as PSD (BACKGROUND). I treat them as two separate images and then layer them so that I am erasing my corrected bird from a super glass smooth background. It takes some time, but for me, the results are well worth the effort. I used to be embarrassed to discuss my editing process, as it is rather involved depending on the image. I thought that if I had to do a lot of processing, that meant I was a crappy photographer incapable of getting a perfected image straight from the camera. Now I embrace the time I spend on each image. There are so many amazing images out there, and I think, what can I do to distinguish my work from the glut of great nature and wildlife pictures that are produced and posted every single day. I don't know if I am succeeding or not, but I am satisfied that I am giving each of my images the best of everything I know how to in order to bring them to life.

Another of my damp day walk in Ayr near the beach, these small dunes and grasses were at the side of the path alongside with a nice handy wall to put my tripod on... tried some hand held at first, but just didn't work. Also couldn't overly see if I had the correct focus, so tried taking photos starting at infinity and slowly moving the focus back from there.
To start a game of chess, the first thing you need to do is get the board set up correctly....
Something's definitely wrong her.. :o))
C'est difficile de faire une photographie correcte avec cet oiseau tout noir (et qui emmerde tout le monde... ☺)
Tidemills, Sussex - I hope the ID is correct, I was a bit thrown by it being nowhere near any reeds (plus a bit of wishful thinking)
I did consider colour correcting to reduce the yellow cast but I actually think it makes the photo.

Perhabs they are a kind of stropharia. Location with sawdust and wood waste would be correct.
Stack with 21 frames.
This is an awesome spot by the lake, great backdrop. If I remember correctly, this was a 10-image stack with Helicon focus.
As near as I can tell this is a young Cooper's Hawk. Feel free to correct me if you can make a more positive ID.
A vibrant GP40-2LW leads U745 around the bend at West Eagle Mills on a cloudy day. This train is one of three that coordinate to move taconite from Tilden Mine to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.
D36 hustles past the intermediates at 150.9 on the approach to the Lafayette District high iron in Bement. Today's train is led by straight NS -2s 3479 and 3517. These intermediates are popular with fans due to their easy access and spacing in the chase cadence. I found them awkward to shoot being so close to the crossing. But that is because of my own defects as a photographer. This was my best attempt.
This is of course, the former Wabash Chicago main. In 1990, the top end was lopped off between Gibson City and Manhattan. GC to Risk was sold to the Bloomer Shippers Connecting Railroad. The remaining piece of the was grafted with the NKP, creating a glorified branchline. The CTC south of GC remains and it is quite overkill for the remaining traffic. North of Lodge, only the control points have searchlights, with the intermediates varying in manufacturer and year. South of Lodge, I believe all the intermediates are searchlights, if my count of three is correct.
The Fornax Cluster is a cluster of galaxies lying at a distance of (62 million light-years). It is the second richest galaxy cluster within 100 million light-years, after the considerably larger Virgo Cluster.

Gary Faulkner www.flickr.com/photos/gary-faulkner/ has suggested Northern Hawk Owl (Surnia ulula) Which it certainly looks correct 😋👍 Thanks Gary👍
⭐️Thank you in Advance for your kind ‘Faves’ Visits and Comments they are so very much appreciated. 👍
I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their Visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’. If I do not reply to your 'Comment', it is not because I am ignoring you, it's because I have not seen the 'Comment'.
Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image, and I see a notification)
I took a picture of this same house in late April of the preceding year (see remarks below). I tried a number of times to correct the difference in the colors but was unsuccessful.

An uncooperative spell of windy wet weather has seen frustration growing,
So I looked back to the other week and decided to try removing some of the more eccentric colour casts thrown up by the film.
Essentially a lot of desaturation curves.
Opinions on which version looks most "natural" are most welcome.
(EXIF not correct, its from the self-made AF TC, 75-240mm lens chip that is used for getting AF)
Sigma/500mm-f4.5-ex-dg-hsm-apo + TC16A
f4.8 is incorrect , its full aperture f4.5 = 7.2

I'm not 100% sure if the title's accurate, learning all of Tokyo's districts and cities is no easy feat to a foreigner. All I know is that the last sign I saw before taking this shot was for Ginza station (which wasn't even the correct stop).
So strictly speaking, this is the first usable photo I got on Japanese soil. I arrived last night and was just ecstatic, after all these years, I was finally here. I took a couple of more sociable photos when I arrived at the bnb that night but I don't think it was anything I could really edit or post.
The next morning I got to work. I left Akihabara for Asakusa. It was raining when I got in last night, and it was still going off and on today. Took the Chuo line to Asakusa station. I exited to the bridge going over to Sumida. I could see the Skytree disappearing into the heavens and the Asahi Flame. I entered an observation building to shoot Senso-Ji from above.
But on my way up to that position, I looked to my right and I saw a makeshift skyline. I could just barely make out the full shape of the skytree, so I knew it had to be worth the effort.
This was no ordinary white sky, a clarity fix brought out all the clouds so I knew it would be a different kind of edit this time. I sized down the image until the top border was about to touch the tower. The buildings have been drained of nearly all saturation and there are 8 seperate layers of shading. Only the red parts got to keep some resemblance of their color cause I thought it would match the the dreary atmosphere. It took longer then normal because of how crowded this image was, which I guess is accurate to Tokyo's image anyways.
Approaching I-35 with a warm load of pellets. I really like those wide nose SD40-2's like the second unit but the tunnel motors are growing on me. But it's tough to miss with a consist like this in December 2021.
ICM shot of bluebells. Taken in the evening by retreating sunlight that cut through the canopy to illuminate this stand of bluebells, almost in isolation to the rest of the forest floor. I left the image stabilisation switched on and this has introduced interesting artefacts into the image as it tries to correct the deliberate camera movement.
if i remember correctly. this was shot in Vienna , Austria during my euro trip . i miss it badly i need to do another euro trip. wishing you all the best in the first day of 2016
If I counted correctly, this was my fifth trip to Lake Saoseo. Although you can take a postbus from Sfazù to the Rifugio Saoseo, you have to reserve a seat here in advance and this is only possible from Monday to Friday. I was always there on weekends and my plans are too spontaneous for such long-term reservations. So always walk up the farm track, four kilometers, 400 meters in altitude, sometimes quite steep. And finally twenty minutes over a breakneck mountain path to the lake. The whole thing back afterwards. And then I've never been able to get a decent picture of this picturesque, but also quite overcrowded lake. That evening the clouds promised a colorful sunset. However, it had closed some time before, not even the mountain peaks could be seen anymore. A few minutes before sunset it broke up again, but there were still too many clouds (and in the wrong place) for the expected color spectacle. Still my best picture so far...
