The sky is definitely not the limit, but you better watch your fruits there, or else the big fat bear will come and eat it right under your nose.
- Madrid, Spain (May 2017)
Definitely an odd couple on dried up tree. The crow slowly but surely got under young ospreys skin. It was a fun scene to watch and photograph.

We're here are making another visit to classic album covers.
I decided to have a crack at the Oasis album, Defintely Maybe. Didn't have all the props so improvised with what I did have. Was all a bit rushed o might have to give this one a proper go one day!
I definitely like shooting at Tahoe when the wind has picked up and the dark clouds blanket the sky in shade. But sometimes, there’s just enough of a break in that shadowy curtain for the light to come through.
Definitely a better view on black, so please press L. Enjoy!
Definitely not my favorite comp by far but, there is something that I really like about this image.
I am kicking myself now for not making a pano of this scene. I have been meaning to make some pano series shots for a long time now. Just never remember too when I am on location :( This would have been the perfect scene for this as I could not get everything into the image that I wanted too.

Definitely worth forcing bulbs in November (or buying them mid-December and passing it off as all your own work)
We make a habit, rain or shine, of coming away to the east coast every Christmas holiday. This year the weather has been very harsh and only yesterday it was snowing, which threatened (unsuccessfully) to postpone our trip due to a blocked road on the north York moors. Part of the reason I love to come to the coast when the weather is at its most turbulent, is that it feels raw, its unforgiving and real. I feel a unique oneness with nature when immersed to my knees in freezing waves, blasted by salty winds.
Now some of you wouldn’t understand why I have such warm feelings for something so hostile (my wife included), it sounds like I’m painting a gloomy picture of northern England in winter, but that’s my point. This isn’t Cornwall, it isn’t summer, but it is as inspiring. It does have an emotive undercurrent that speaks of oneness to nature.
Today when we came down off the moors and the fog cleared, our first sight of the sea was truly elevating. It mysteriously injected us all with childlike energy. I felt my eyes widen and my hart quicken, at the sight of a heavy swell and deep unforgiving clouds. The waves were big enough to surf on and compared to the swells of our Cornish body boarding this summer. But the cold, the freezing sea looked less inviting.
Anyway after our two-hour journey I was very keen to get down on the beach, but Cathy’s plan was very different to my own. She wanted to escape the cold at the beach side café. How different we can be sometimes eh, I think it’s a woman thing (hey don’t get me wrong I'm not sexist), I just think women feel the cold more, god only know why?
Anyway after a good hour taking shots of different stuff, (a new anti erosion post had strangely appeared, but that’s another story) I saw Cathy becoming me off the beach. Now I didn’t want to go, but knew that I had to earn my brownie points and after all it was only the first couple of hours of a long weekend, so I did the honourable thing and came away. Well apparently the kids had been hell and Cathy was cold tired and hungry…not something to be taken lightly. But we still had 20 min before we could get into the holiday cottage that we were staying at. So we collected stuff from the car and headed back to the beach.
Now on making it back down I was given strict instructions that I had only 15 minutes ‘in this cold’ (she is use to me getting carried away snapping). Which I wasn’t very happy about, but beggars cannot be choosers, after all she was tending the kids. I ran down to the erosion posts at the far end of the beach. Now just before I got there I spotted this interesting rock. The sea was at the right tidal height to enable me to get some movement in the water, but still retain some detail and texture in the rock. I set up and knee deep in gushing waves and held the tripod hoping the crashing pebbles would shake the second long exposure. I was lucky with this one, but only a few minutes later (and I only had a couple left) I was hit by a rather large wall of water (created by a double wave) and jumping up with tripod and still exposing camera in hands and camera bag and laptop bag on back (another story) I hoped I would regain my footing and not fall into the salt water.
Anyway my trapped nerve held out and my camera gear lives to snap another day.
By the way not wishing to make this into an essay, I’ve tried something new here, by de-saturating it somewhat and playing with multiple exposures from the same raw file. I did consider black and white but I’m not keen on loosing the colour. For those of you that have got this far, I hope you like it.
Definitely the golden hour! This is a wider angle view of one I put up last week and with even more golden light. With the sun dipping in and out of the clouds, the light was constantly changing and in many ways I think the light and perspective is better in this one. It was taken at the top of East Hill on the Purbeck ridge near Corfe Castle and this nice curvy path going down into the valley provided a perfect lead-in.
It looks better on black as usual.
Thanks for all your visits, comments and faves! Explore seems to like me at the moment and one shot even made front page somehow.
Definitely a day for the rainbow 🌈 enthusiasts in Caithness today with bright sunshine in the south and rain showers galore passing over. A quick stop at the side of the A99 near Whaligoe, Ulbster, and the phooey not doing justice to the fact this wasn't only a double bow but a triple. Best one I've ever seen but much better to see with the naked eye than the camera lens.
There was definitely a dazzling array of food at the fair. Pretty much anything you could want as long as it was deep fried or barbequed.
One of the big sellers was turkey legs and it totally puzzles me. There's no way I could finish off a whole turkey leg and there's no way I'd pay $20 US for the privilege to try!
If you zoom way in you can get an idea of the prices they were charging. If the prices weren't enough to give you a heart attack all the grease definitely would!
Update: This won't zoom close enough to see the prices. I can tell you that a hamburger was $17, hot dog was $14, piggy fries were $17, and a half rack of ribs will set you back $28. Talk about sticker shock!
For the Definitely Dreaming week 16 theme of "Small" theme I decided to do something with some of my little Scale 00 people (they are about 20mm tall).
These are extra special to me because they belonged to my dear friend Ali and were gifted to me by her sister after her death.
To create my "Rock God" I sat him on an old CD, shone various lights at him and also used some Lensbaby Omni wands for the distortion and some of the rainbow colours. I added some diffusion and glow in Photoshop.
Also my photo for today in the April photo a day challenge, 19 of 30.
Definitely no snow but lots of vegetation glowing white in infrared.

Definitely better than the first day of school.

Definitely a very rare visitor to Victoria - the superyacht "Anawa" alongside Ship Point, downtown. Simply glistening in the sunshine - a beauty in all respects.
From superyachttimes.com, "Anawa" has an overall length of 62 m (203 ft). The builder is Damen Yachting from The Netherlands, and she was launched in 2020. Her gross tonnage is 1,886. Up to 12 guests can be accommodated and she has accommodation for 20 crew members. "Anawa" has a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure. She is powered by 3 Caterpillar C-32 engines, which give her a top speed of 15 knots.
Damen Yachting mentioned that "Anawa" is from their "SeaXplorer" range of premiere expedition yachts.
My photo does not do justice to this superyacht. If you have the time, please check out Damen Yachting's web page for "Anawa:" www.damenyachting.com/yacht/sx-65-01/
Nothing to do with the vowel theme - but definitely a Christmas decoration and a new addition to my Christmas fun.
Definitely not something I would hang on my wall, but I couldn't resist putting it together after seeing it in person. Four images blended for dynamic range involved.
Now Barbie will meet the real “Woody”… if you know what I mean.
Macro Monday project - 04/14/08
“Fake/Bogus”
Definitely one of my favorite catches of 2023 along with the Pepsi Can leader earlier in the year.
I woke up at 5am to catch this coming into Los Angeles and then went Railfanning at Fullerton Station after getting pictures of 161 at Union Station. It would also lead the Eastbound Southwest Chief later in the day.
Yes its time for a squirrel, been awhile since I posted one, I had some chasing each other today,
they are fun to watch,
The feeder is so close to the window and yet they are always calm when they see me, perhaps they know its hard to catch them:-)
Have a wonderful Friday everyone.
Having taken a billion or so pictures, sometimes I run out of ideas and just feel discouraged at taking the same old thing every time. So when a golden idea like treking around the Oregon woods in flip flops, strapped with kites and a surfboard hits me, I grab the Poison Ivy ointment and get to work!
In typical fashion, all the lighting was done with headlamps. Not because I was trying to be artistic or cool (unlike Sweetgrass's Afterglow movie, awesome), I just am too cheap to buy real lighting equipment.
