This little guy is always difficult to photograph since he is usually running around or hiding up in a tree. When I was finally able to get a decent composition in the right light...he stuck his tongue out at me! LOL! Asian Passage - San Diego Zoo. Taken 5/6/2021.
Excerpt from the San Diego Zoo website, "Although red pandas like to eat bamboo and live in China’s bamboo forests with giant pandas, don’t let their name fool you. Formerly known as lesser pandas, DNA studies show that red pandas represent a unique family that diverged from the rest of the carnivore order, so they are now placed in their own unique family: Ailuridae. The Chinese name for the red panda is hun-ho, meaning fire fox. The red panda’s reddish coat and white face mask offer camouflage among the red moss and white lichen that cover the trees of its bamboo forest home."

It is a little difficult to see -- but that is the idea, after all. A doe left her new little fawn to hide in the tall grass near our yard. He/she was very obedient and didn't move a muscle even as we got close enough for a shot.
It's difficult to tell where Kingsand finishes and the neighbouring village of Cawsand begins, and many of the buildings on the far left are actually in Cawsand. The local council has given up trying, and now the sign at the side of the road simply says Kingsand-Cawsand. But until the middle of the 19th century Kingsand was in Devon and Cawsand was in Cornwall. The pretty former fishing villages are on the Rame Peninsula in the far south-east of Cornwall where they overlook Plymouth Sound. In the distance is part of Mount Edgcumbe Country Park, jointly owned by Plymouth City Council and Cornwall County Council.
In the centre of the picture the long dark grey building behind the village is the former Cawsand Fort. This was part of the 19th century naval defences of Plymouth and Devonport and was built on the site of a late 18th century battery. Like several other forts around Plymouth Sound, it has been converted into housing.
The requirement for defences in and around Cawsand Bay first became clear in 1779 when a 66 strong Franco-Spanish fleet anchored there intending to land 30,000 soldiers ashore. The invaders had planned to seize the high ground and bombard Plymouth and the Devonport dockyard. As with the earlier Spanish Armada, storms - plus the arrival of an English squadron - forced the ships to weigh anchor and depart. A battery was then constructed at Cawsand but following the end of the Napoleonic wars the threat subsided.
In the late 1850s a new threat was perceived when the French built the first heavily armoured ocean-going ironclad, "La Gloire". This immediately rendered the Royal Navy's wooden ships obsolete and prompted the British to build a ring of forts around their various dockyards, including the fort at Cawsand, which was on the site of the earlier battery. The British also responded by building their own ironclads, with HMS Warrior and its sister ship, both of which entered service in the early 1860s.
J'ai eu beaucoup de difficulté à faire de bonnes photos macro de cet insecte à cause du vent!
Première fois à vie que j'observais cet impressionnant insecte!
Difficult to tell the difference in imm. males and females. But, this bird's behavior says he's a male. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

I loved to make this photo. I needed something difficult enough to make myself feel challenged and doing this shot really was a challenge! I did the bodypaint all by myself, though I used a very useful tutorial I found on youtube. In particular I spent a lot of time doing the facial make-up in order to give my face a very doll-like look. I'm happy with the result and I wish you will like it too ^_^

Depression is difficult to live with when it raises it ugly head and digs into your soul, but when it does - for me - I find food is an issue and I go through many stages until I come out of the fog. Sugar, then cutting out the sugar means I get super hungry for other none or less sugary food, which eventually subsides and then the health habit kicks in for - well - for as long as it takes until the darkness falls again. Its a path without meds, but a path of these isolated pockets of addictions that somehow pretend to bring comfort but only really complicate the whole process. For me, anyway that is how it is.
A difficult shot on a sunny day - bright dull might work better. Anyhow, the signal box is perfectly illuminated so the train doesn't matter too much, though there does need to be one in there. It is 6H62, the 0602 Drax - Immingham biomass empties, emerging from Kirton Tunnel. As I arrived there was a peacock butterfly warming itself up on the front of the box. You can just see a black metal stay on the right, helping to hold the box up. It does have a very slight tilt towards the tracks.
It's difficult to narrow down which photos to post of Slash, the red panda. I finally selected four. I don't think you'll mind seeing his face as he munches some bamboo leaves.
This is a very difficult warbler to find, much less photograph. I was beyond surprised when this one came into the open and stuck around for more than a second.
figuriamoci su quella panchina !

Yesterday, with a little light, I discovered a fox, who has entered a goose-billy. This was not difficult because there is only a littered fence.
My fear was that the geese are now being eaten.
So I quickly sneaked to the fence and brought my dogs under control.
Instead of chattering loudly as usual, the geese were absolutely quiet this time and were tightly compressed in one corner.
The fox has ignored the geese and the ducks and marched leisurely over the paddock.
Even if he looked at us for a short time, we were not exposed.
With his good nose he had then found rolls and one of them was once eaten. After this bite, he went towards the approximately 30 geese.
Shortly before the geese were still more rolls and the following scene I had not yet seen before.
The fox grabbed first, then the second and then the third roll to march with it.
Unfortunately he lost the third roll. Surprisingly how big a fox's mouth is.
Fox you stole the rolls.
Have a look at the other pictures of this story...

Difficult to positively ID but most likely 'Bombus terrestris'
By the way when i took this one i caught my Thumb across the bottom corner luckily not obscuring the bee at all.
Can you tell
It was difficult shooting this one, getting up before 5 AM and then waiting patiently in subzero temperatures by the lake waiting for the damn wind to go away. ..

A railway route between Burma and Thailand was by the British government considered too difficult to undertake. But in early 1942, Japanese forces invaded Burma and seized control of the colony from the United Kingdom. To supply their forces in Burma, the Japanese began the railway project of 415 km through hilly jungle terrain divided by many rivers. Beter known as Death Railway in Thailand which was built with forced labour by prisoners of war during the Second World War. The pass is noted for the harsh conditions and heavy loss of life. Soldiers were forced to remove the rock using no more than picks, hammers and their bare hands. Hellfire Pass is so called because the sight of starved prisoners labouring at night by torchlight was said to resemble a scene from Hell. Hellfire Pass was a particularly difficult section of the line to build. It was the largest rock cutting on the railway, coupled with its general remoteness and the lack of proper construction tools during building. The Australian, British, Dutch and other Prisoners of War were required by the Japanese to work 18 hours a day to complete the cutting. Sixty nine men were beaten to death by Japanese guards in the six weeks it took to build the cutting, and many more died from cholera, dysentery, starvation, and exhaustion. More than 16,000 enslaved British, Dutch, Australian and American POWs perished at these sites. More than 90,000 Asians also died from starvation and disease during their forced labor, according to the United Kingdom's Forces War Records. At the Hellfire Pass Memorial Museum the highly recommended portable audio headset includes the voices of survivors who describe atrocities they endured, which you can listen to while wandering between Hellfire Pass's stone walls. On the way back I stopped at the Sai Yok Noi Falls, not for the falls, but for the original steam train. It was well hidden. An old steam train that is resting here. Retired Japanese steam train no. 702 build in 1935 by Mitsubishi.
Kanchanaburi is home to the famous Bridge on the River Kwai. During WW II, Japan constructed the meter-gauge railway line from Thailand to Burma. The line passing through the scenic Three Pagodas Pass runs for 415 km. This is now known as the Death Railway. At Sai Yok Noi waterfall stands a spirit house and State Railway Steam Train 702, built by Mitsubishi in 1935 and was sold to the Thai Government at the end of WW II. This was part of a package of one and half million pounds for the track and rolling stock seized from the Japanese Army. The State Railway of Thailand still has in working condition seven of the original steam trains which are used every Saturday and Sunday for special trips from the River Kwai Bridge to Nam Tok.
Verreweg het meest indrukwekkende oorlogs monument in Kanchanaburi. Hellfire pass is de naam van een berg doorgang voor het dodenspoor tussen Thailand en Birma, het is berucht vanwege de vele gestorven krijgsgevangenen op deze moeilijke locatie. De pas is aangelegd door de geallieerde krijgsgevangen in 1943 tijdens de 2de wereld oorlog. Het werken in de nacht bij het licht van de kampvuren gaf deze pas de naam Helffire pass, de pas van het hellevuur. Het is gelegen in een stuk met dichte bebossing. Langs een stuk van 4 kilometer kunnen bezoekers een voorstelling maken van de omstandigheden waarin de pas is aangelegd. De pas is ca 500m lang en 26m diep. De pas is in 6 weken aangelegd door de krijgsgevangen met behulp van simpele gereedschappen zoals handboren, houwelen, manden en schoppen. De totale lente van de Dodenspoorlijn ook wel Birmaspoorweg is 415km. Tijdens de aanleg stierven per dag gemiddeld 75 arbeiders; 16.000 krijgsgevangenen stierven aan uitputting, ziekte en ondervoeding. Onder hen waren 7.000 Britten, 4 500 Australiërs, 131 Amerikanen en bijna 3.000 Nederlanders. Ook stierven er meer dan 90.000 Aziatische dwangarbeiders en arbeiders bij de aanleg door het moeilijke gebied. Het museum is zeer interessant. Sterk aanbevolen is de draagbare audio headset, deze bevat de stemmen van overlevenden die vertelen over de gruweldaden. Hoe ze deze hebben doorstaan. Een bijzondere ervaring wanneer je zelf loopt door deze Hellfire pass. Foto van de Brug over de rivier de Kwai. Deze brug is in het Westen vooral bekend van de speelfilm The Bridge on the River Kwai. De opnamen werden echter niet hier gemaakt, en het verhaal is slechts losjes op de werkelijkheid gebaseerd. Echter, bij de constructie van de brug zelf vielen relatief weinig doden (negen). De huidige brug is het originele exemplaar. In de jaren 80 heeft de toenmalige Nederlandse kroonprins Willem-Alexander een bezoek gebracht aan deze brug. Bij de Sai Yoi Noi waterval staat een Staatsspoorwegen Stoomtrein nr. 702, gebouwd door Mitsubishi in 1935 en werd verkocht aan de Thaise regering aan het einde van WO II. Dit was onderdeel van een pakket van anderhalf miljoen pond voor het spoor en het rollend materieel in beslag genomen door het Japanse leger. De Thaise Staatsspoorwegen heeft nog zeven werkende oorspronkelijke stoomtreinen die elke zaterdag en zondag gebruikt worden voor speciale reizen van de River Kwai Bridge naar de waterval.
This is a difficult target with moderate amounts of light pollution, from where my mount is setup I only get a ~2-3 hour window to shoot the nebula this time of year and give the light pollution in the area I really need to get 15 hours of integration or more. This is a stack of 87 x4 minute exposures for a little less than 6 hours total, if I get some clear skies during the new moon phase I want to get at least double that to bring the noise down and more of the details out.

It's difficult to get the mask right. Will try again.

It's difficult to get out of London these days so we try our best to enjoy the best of what's around us. These days that's Regent's Park. While busy on the weekends, the sporting fields are nicely quiet on weekdays. WFH means that we have more flex on time, so can do our walks earlier in the afternoon and avoid the "rush", such as it is.
I found it quite difficult to photograph because of its size and with buildings all round it.
In 1088, John of Tours was made Bishop of Wells, which at this time was the seat of the Bishop and home to his cathedral. A few years later John was granted the city of Bath, the abbey and its monastic buildings and lands by King William Rufus and so was able to fulfil his desire to move the bishopric to Bath. As the Bishop of Bath, John by the early 1090s had set in hand an extensive building programme, which included plans for more monastic buildings, a Bishop’s palace, and most importantly, a vast new cathedral to replace the Anglo-Saxon abbey. By the time of John’s death in 1122 most of the lower walls of the new cathedral had been built; but the majority of the building work was masterminded by his successor, Bishop Robert of Lewes. The cathedral was probably completed and consecrated by the beginning of the 1160s.
The Norman cathedral would have been a very different size and shape from the Abbey as we see it now. The present building takes up the space occupied by just the nave of Bishop John’s cathedral. The building would have had a similar cruciform shape, but probably had a much more elaborate east end with additional towers and chapels which would have extended out far beyond the boundary of today’s abbey. Surrounding the cathedral would have been the monastic buildings and gardens, the Bishop’s palace and burial grounds.
The difference in floor levels between the Norman cathedral and the present building means that the evidence for the Norman building is to be found below the floor of today’s Abbey and the pavements outside. In the floor of the Alphege chapel there is a grille through which the remains of Norman pillars can be seen. In the Gethsemane chapel at the north east end of the Abbey, a rounded Norman window arch, built into the structure of the present wall, is clearly visible (depicted above).
The small whiteface (Leucorrhinia dubia), also known as the white-faced darter, is easily distinguishable from other darters by the white frons on the front of the head - unless you see it from an angle like this where the face is obscured.
Fortunately for me there are more distinguishing characteristics so we can determine this is a female L. dubia which I found on Midsummer's Eve in the Paradiset nature reserve near lake Långsjön.
They are still very young and do not have any real feathers yet. The eating is still a bit difficult. They are very cute to look at
I was having a very difficult time and I glanced out the window of my home and noticed this yellow leaf that had fallen from a tree, lying in a patch of dirt, lit beautifully by the sunlight shining through it. It was such a beautiful sight to me and also gave me a bit of encouragement. I loved how the sunlight made the leaf really stand out. So I quickly grabbed my camera and tried to capture it before the sunlight changed.

Esta pequena capela está construída nas terras que eram de meu avó e agora são de meu pai! Ela é um símbolo do grande papel que a religião representou na árdua época em que os imigrantes italianos chegaram no sul do Brasil. Para terem um local onde orar, os vitivinicultores da comunidade , devido a uma grande seca, doaram vinho para a construção de suas paredes! Aparecerá muitas e muitas vezes em minha galeria!

This small chapel is built on land that was my grandmother and now my father! She is a symbol of the great role that religion played in the difficult time when Italian immigrants arrived in southern Brazil. To have a place to pray, the winemakers of the community, due to a severe drought, donated wine for the construction of your walls! Appear over and over again in my gallery!

This is a miniature bottle of Mezcal, rolling on a piece of gold coloured paper. It is a rather difficult to see what it is all about, but the colours are rich I think. So is Mezcal...
Difficult things should always be followed with quality best friend time, poolside.
I recorded video from this same shoot, but have yet to do anything with it. Soon!
This appeared on the Explore Front Page, highest position #4, thank you!!!
Did I mention how much fun I am having with this K-2S0 figure? I love the articulation, even if he's sometime difficult to balance.
Very difficult birds to photograph unless the light is perfect which I was lucky enough to get here. Another of the variety of birds coming down for discarded snack from the van on Leven Beach
Husband & me decided to a local walk along the Jurassic coast yesterday (14th Jan 25) starting in Lulworth Cove & ending back in Lulworth. It is quite a difficult walk with some steep ups & downs. The weather up until mid afternoon was the best we have probably had in months.
The coastline in this area is part of the Jurassic coast, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Europe is the epicentre of the coronavirus pandemic now. With the precautions taken by the the governments and the reduction of social contacts recommended by experts life changes completely.
It's difficult to be certain, but I believe this small member of the so-called "tyrant flycatchers" is the Acadian Flycatcher. Based on location - during spring migration - size, coloration and the two-toned bill. It did not call out while I was photographing and watching so it's just a best guess. There are several species of similar size, shape and general appearance. This one was seen at the Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center in Port Aransas, Texas.
Difficult to make the image look like what the eye sees in a clear night... Just one picture edited with DxO, no compositing. Still a bit too colorful for a "realistic" rendering, but I like it that way.
Internet access is very subadequate here, will have a lot to catch up when I come back from holidays.
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves and comments, they are always appreciated :)
Very difficult expansion, it was made of 23 images I believe. The colors are lines aren't perfect, but neither am I so
This dahlia was captured in difficult conditions of light, but I hope you like it. ;)
I'll be out for another week, dear friends, but I'll try to catch up when I return.
Bye for now! Wish that all of you have a splendid week ahead!
Waxwings are so beautiful, yet they have been difficult for me to find in good light. Today, I was able to get some shots.

Just as a fletcher straightens an arrow shaft, even so the discerning man straightens his mind—so fickle and unsteady, so difficult to guard.
As a fish when pulled out of water and cast on land throbs and quivers, even so is this mind agitated. Hence should one abandon the realm of Mara.
Wonderful, indeed, it is to subdue the mind, so difficult to subdue, ever swift, and seizing whatever it desires. A tamed mind brings happiness.
Let the discerning man guard the mind, so difficult to detect and extremely subtle, seizing whatever it desires. A guarded mind brings happiness.
Dwelling in the cave (of the heart), the mind, without form, wanders far and alone. Those who subdue this mind are liberated from the bonds of Mara.

Although difficult to quantify, some lenses enhance overall image quality by producing more subjectively pleasing out-of-focus areas. Good bokeh is especially important for large-aperture lenses, macro lenses, and long telephoto lenses because they are typically used with a shallow depth of field. Bokeh is also important for medium telephoto "portrait lenses" (typically 85–150 mm on 35 mm format) because in portraiture photography, the photographer typically seeks to obtain a shallow depth of field to achieve an out-of-focus background and make the subject stand out.
Bokeh characteristics may be quantified by examining the image's circle of confusion. In out-of-focus areas, each point of light becomes an image of the aperture, generally a more or less round disc. Depending how a lens is corrected for spherical aberration, the disc may be uniformly illuminated, brighter near the edge, or brighter near the center. Lenses that are poorly corrected for spherical aberration will show one kind of disc for out-of-focus points in front of the plane of focus, and a different kind for points behind. This may actually be desirable, as blur circles that are dimmer near the edges produce less-defined shapes which blend smoothly with the surrounding image. Lens manufacturers including Nikon, Minolta, and Sony make lenses designed with specific controls to change the rendering of the out-of-focus areas.
