Rather a difficult challenge to make a macro of a calendar ... we have a large wall one, small one-day-a-page ones, and everything else is digital! So I decided to play around with a sheet of the 2021 months ... and ended up with a 3cm cube. ;o)

Difficult to capture the grandeur of this street in one photo...got some odd looks while trying...

What are your looking at, seems to say this lovely White Cow completely harassed by the Fly plague.
She was upset, like us, with so many annoying flies surrounding her.
Taking the photo was difficult, but I think the moment was well portrayed.
I hope you like it.
Good Monday to all and good health, peace and love!

Qué estás mirando..., parece decir esta adorable vaca blanca completamente acosada por la plaga de moscas.
Ella estaba enfadada, como nosotros, con tantas moscas molestas rodeándola.
Tomar la foto fue complicado, pero creo que quedó bien retratado el momento.
Espero que os guste.
Buen lunes para tod@s y mucha salud, paz y amor!

Blue Jay in difficult light, but I kind of like the pose and semi-backlit blue feathers.

" TIME TO GET OUT AND ABOUT MY FRIENDS !"
========================
SEE at Stodmarsh, Kent, in the Elder Wood, this Female was acting very brave, it was a pure joy to see on my first trip to a nature reserve with a camera.. Did not see a lot, but the bird song was amazing, and being back with nature, was heavenly , I will never take nature for granted, and this has taught me to appreciate it far more, and to thank God for every new day on this planet.
========================
THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND, it means so much, in these difficult times. Please stay safe and well, enjoy the new week, Gods blessings go with you..................................Tomx.

Damselflies are very difficult to ID accurately so we have made a best guess on their names to the best of our ability, we are happy to be corrected by anyone with more knowledge. (Gordon & Maureen)
Damselflies are insects in the sub-order Zygoptera (meaning "paired-wings"). All four wings are near enough equal in size and shape. They are usually small, weakly flying insects that stay close to the water margins or water surface. When at rest, most species hold their wings along the length of their abdomen. The Emerald Damselflies are an exception and usually hold their wings partly open when at rest. They are therefore known as Spreadwings in North America. The eyes are always separated, never touching. The larvae have external plates (lamellae) at the end of the abdomen, which act as accessory gills.
In Great Britain and Ireland there are about 20 species that may be encountered and a few that are now extinct. These species fall into 4 families and 9 genera. A partial taxonomic "tree" for the damselflies is shown below.

A difficult falls to get to, but definitely worth the scramble :)
Washboard Falls, Hamilton
Snapchat: fionnluk
Notoriously difficult subjects these (or at least that's my experience), simply because they are so incredibly active & never seem to stop still. I was lucky here, as this one paused for a few seconds to preen, so I was able to bag a couple of shots.
Stour valley, Suffolk.
Difficult to capture these guys singing at low ISO. But always a pure delight to hear them and see them. ISO 5000, 600 mm F4 1/1600 s. Thanks DXO pure Raw :)

Little grebes on a lake
Here it is very difficult to approach them, so I had to use the 1.4x TC and to make a lot of photos, because they are diving diving diving ... full cropped view

Ici, il est très difficile de les approcher, j'ai donc dû utiliser le 1,4x TC et faire beaucoup de photos, car ils plongent, plongent, plongent ... Vue croppée à 100%

When the shadows
Move across the world
And the light is difficult to find
When the darkness falls
Remember that I am always here
A presence in the background
Patiently waiting for all your cries
For when you need me
Sooner or later or in a while
I am good at mending the broken
Collecting the pieces of your soul
Putting them back together
So you can carry on
These times will pass
And the darkness will lift
Hold on to me
You have me always
I am like a perpetual gift
Reach for me
Ask for me
No need to despair
You have more courage than you know
And I have plenty of love to share
This image and poem would not leave me alone the past few days, despite the fact that I have been trying to finish my new website pages and prepare work for this upload of recent work on Flickr. Perhaps it is because there seems to be a shadow falling across our earth at this time in history. As in the past, we must find the courage to not let those shadows fall, but instead reach forwards to find our true humanity that recognises the kindness of the human spirit.
This image was taken in the meadow of Glynde Churchyard, East Sussex, UK. And I think that eventually, it will find a home on my website as well.

A very difficult plant to photograph! Its seed head resembles that of a jumbo dandelion, with seeds attached to reversed parachutes to carry them far and wide. The photo problem is finding a pattern that isn't totally confusing visually. One can always step back and shoot the entire puffball, but I've done that. This is an experiment to see what else may be possible.
One more macro flower shot after this, and then a brief foray into the six-legged world.

A very difficult bird to find in the middle of the rainforest. We walked several kilometers through the forest and took many turns until our guide managed to spot it among the branches in an area with very little light.
Birds in this forest are very scarce, and we had to search extensively to find our target. Finding any bird always requires a long search first.
Sulawesi lilac kingfisher is endemic to Sulawesi.

Stop quarreling !
A difficult moment for Italy
Oggi momento delicato per l'Italia, anzi drammatico : Mario Draghi sale al Quirinale per parlare con il Capo dello Stato e formare un nuovo governo. . Penso che sia un uomo di grande valore e capacità , con una grande personalità . L'avevo conosciuto a Roma in occasione di un discorso ai ragazzi che avevano vinto gare mondiali di matematica , fisica e informatica, tra cui mio figlio. Mi aveva colpito molto, ma le persone in Parlamento restano le stesse. Speriamo la smettano di litigare e pensino a risolvere i gravi e urgenti problemi del nostro Paese. Se ne sono capaci
Passeggiata verso Santa Margherita, Liguria
Ultima notizia : Grillo ( un comico fallito non eletto da nessuno ) ha detto no a Draghi , opponendosi alle decisioni del Presidente Mattarella !
I went to Monrepos early on Monday morning to make the best of the sunny weather and because on Easter there will be far too many people. It was pleasantly quiet and the squirrels were happy to see me as of course I had brought walnuts and hazelnuts for them. Due to my painful writst it was difficult to take photos with the long and heavy telezoom lens but I managed a few shots. The squirrel in this photo is one of the youngsters who were born during winter. They have learned from the adults that most humans are nice and bring food. :)
This waterfall is fairly difficult to shoot. There is just not much color there to work with. If you look through other images of the falls most simply use the sky to add some color. When I visited the site, I wanted to do something different, use something besides the sky to add color. Well, there was some great yelow grass, and some green near the falls, but it was hard to get to. The lookout is high above and getting in close to the fals would have meant using a zoom, then loosing the setting. So in order to get the color, and the setting, I had to venture down the cliff edge. So I went down, into the cliff face, which was made of sand and loose rock. Sooooo not the smartest thing I have ever done. One step, slide 5 feet, next step, slide 4 feet, and so on. I finally reached the color and set up the tripod. I was quite excited to see what it looked like. So anyway, I do not advise this spot. Not sure its worth the effort or the danger. After all, when I finished shooting and turned around, I had to climb back up, one step up, three feet back, second step up, 5 feet back. Not a productive way to get up a cliff. Enjoy.
Smaller and distinctly slimmer than the Moorhen, the Water Rail is a fairly common but highly secretive inhabitant of freshwater wetlands. Difficult to see in the breeding season, it is relatively easier to find in winter, when it is also more numerous and widespread.
In these difficult times, I wish you a warm Christmas surrounded by those who are dear to you.

As difficult as it is to take shots into the sun, I feel that you have always got to try, otherwise you will never remember the reason why you are there, to convey the beautiful scene...
Oh, hush, my dear, it's been a difficult year, And terrors don't prey on, Innocent victims, Trust me, darling, trust me darling
It's been a loveless year
I'm a girl of three fears, Integrity, faith and
Crocodile tears, Trust me, darling, trust me, darling
So look me in the eyes, tell me what you see
Perfect paradise, tearing at the seams, I wish I could escape, I don't wanna fake it, wish I could erase it, make your heart believe
But I'm a bad liar, now you know,
I'm a bad liar, now you know, you're free to go ♥
