Every time I've seen a Night-heron it was in the daylight. That may be because I've never hiked in swamps at night : -)

Night-herons will hunt in the daytime or at night. This Yellow-crowned Night-heron was seen in the deep shadows at Audubon's Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, in southwest Florida.

Still digging through my archives looking for fence shots. This one is from Fulton Harbor in South Texas. Took it while I was waiting for the sun to come up.

Who knew that Skullytown actually had a daytime?

Found locally - I took several shot and then he flew up to this branch where I caught the light and a clearer view. For once I got luck and a well lit clear view. Still have not caught this one in flight - the tree branches usually cause me to lose it.

I have been chasing this beautiful Barred Owl through the woods for a couple of weeks. Finally today while it was busy looking for prey I got an opportunity to get a few shots.

I still want to catch it in flight and will be working on it!

....every time we cross here we say..."Shall we bother??".... but then we're always glad we stopped!! Outstanding weather for this spot!!....I feel an album coming on. Lochan nah Achlaise

HBM!!

I had to go to the Veterans hospital in Temple again. It's over a hundred miles from my house or about an hour and a half drive and I had an 8am appointment. So, I left early because I didn't want to get caught up in early morning traffic. Since I was early, I started looking around for benches..;) Drove by this one and pulled over for a shot.

I had the appointment so they could schedule me for an appointment to biopsy my prostate. I asked if I needed to bring someone with me to drive me home. The doctor says, It's no big deal. I googled it and the Internet says it hurts like hell.

I had this wild encounter in my front yard, it's watching!

Southern Black Racer Snake

Shooting this iconic feature in Wyoming for sunset and sunrise, and possibly at night (though it ended up being stormy and cloudy) I was hoping for a Close Encounter ...

Imagine my SHOCKING surprise when during this daytime capture there appeared for a moment a wormhole into space ...

Happy Sliders Sunday :))

A beautiful Great Horned Owl on a winter's day keeping an eye out for some food or possibly just checking me out. A rare opportunity and will be hunting this guy for an in-flight capture!

Wonderful Wednesday to you.

Another one from my last stormchase. I caught this one not far from my home town. Nice storm clouds with rain streaks in the evening light and .....

..... a double lightning strike !

The contrast of the lightning bolts with the sky could be better, perhaps next time I will underexpose with an extra 2/3 of a stop.

Shot with an ultra wide angle (15mm) on full frame, so these lightning bolts were rather close, I guess 2 or 3 kilometers from my location.

Came home to see this spectacular view of the moon against a blue sky as the clouds hovered close. Nothing special was done just tweeked in Lightroom a little to bring out some contrast and to crop the photo.

“who knows if the moon's

a balloon, coming out of a keen city

in the sky--filled with pretty people?

(and if you and I should

get into it,if they

should take me and take you into their balloon,

why then

we'd go up higher with all the pretty people

than houses and steeples and clouds:

go sailing

away and away sailing into a keen

city which nobody's ever visited,where

always

it's

Spring) and everyone's

in love and flowers pick themselves”

― E.E. Cummings, Collected Poems

I love the way tulips come in different colours and shapes and how they still follow rhythms of opening and closing each day even when in a vase indoors.

Boats on Mar Menor, Murcia, Spain

This pretty little guy was spotted by my daughter whilst we were on a countryside walk at about 4.30pm. Neither of us had seen this one before or had any idea what it was. Frustratingly, I couldn't find it on the web as with it being so hairy we thought it was a daytime moth.

Many thanks to Nick Brischuk for helping out on the i.d. :))
