“It is impossible to live in the past, difficult to live in the present and a waste to live in the future.”
-Frank Herbert, Dune
It was very, very difficult to find. After a long walk through the forest and crossing a river sliding on fallen tree trunks, our guide told us to wait while he went to look for it. He got tired of wandering around in the middle of the dense rainforest, and it was almost night when he found it perched on a small branch. Despite the low light, we still managed to take some photos, and in the end, our always cheerful guide even danced happily.

Angry Mockingbird attacks a Starling.
This was going on a for few minutes , The Mockingbird kept attacking only this Starling ,it was very furious ,high speed attacks ,difficult to shoot , this is the best photo I could get.
" Perché l'isola? Perché è il punto dove io mi isolo, dove sono solo: è un punto separato dal resto del mondo, non perché lo sia in realtà, ma perché nel mio stato d'animo posso separarmene".
Giuseppe Ungaretti
" Why the island? Because it is the point where I isolate myself, where I am alone: it is a point separated from the rest of the world, not because it really is, but because in my state of mind I can separate myself from it."
Giuseppe Ungaretti
The "island" moments are for regeneration, not isolation. We all need them. Alone with ourselves to abandon the "difficult" thoughts and welcome the good ones, if any. Otherwise, just abandon them. A minute, an hour, an afternoon, no matter how long. As long as it takes to regenerate.
Good "Island" time everyone! Music is regenerating, at least for me : )
And a good weekend!

Thanks for stopping by, everything is always very appreciated-
I consider street photo one of the most difficult styles of photography as your subject is constantly changing. You are not capturing a bridge or a river or a colorful fall forest. You are capturing moments from the city, an urban scenery, you are capturing expressions of random people while they are not posing for you, people doing their every day thing. So quite often I am trying to focus on something static on the street, something that caught my eye and then wait until the "right people" get into my frame. I think I got lucky on this one, as it felt like these 2 guys were just leaving the area after not finding what they were looking for (404 error, web administrators may get the joke).

Κατα τη γνωμη μου η φωτογραφια δρομου ειναι ισως το πιο δυσκολο ειδος φωτογραφίας καθως το θεμα σου αλλαζει συνεχως. Δεν φωτογραφιζεις μια γεφυρα, ενα ποταμι η ενα πολυχρωμο δασος το φθινοπωρο. Στη φωτογραφια δρομου το θεμα ειναι οι στιγμες σε μια πολη, ενα αστικο σκηνικο, οι εκφρασεις τυχαιων ανθρωπων που ομως δεν ποζαρουν για σενα, τυχαιοι ανθρωποι που κανουν καποιες κινησεις ρουτινας. Ετσι συχνα προσπαθω να εστιασω σε κατι στατικο, σε κατι που τραβηξε την προσοχη μου και επειτα να περιμενω μεχρι οι "σωστοι ανθρωποι" να μπουν στο καδρο μου. Νομιζω σταθηκα αρκετα τυχερος εδω αφου οι 2 αυτοι τυποι εμοιαζαν να απομακρυνονται απο την περιοχη αφου δεν βρηκαν αυτο που εψαχναν (σφαλμα 404, οι web admins μαλλον θα πιασουν το αστειο). Η φωτογραφια τραβηχτηκε στην περιοχη Little Five points στην Atlanta της πολιτειας της Georgia.
A difficult image to process, either in bw or colour, as everything is pretty much the same. All the stones have the same colour and the few plants on the edge of the path don't make much difference. Still, I love that little part of Aldeia Da Cuada, the narrow path winding between the cozy looking cottages. I always get a feeling of safety when I look at this scene.
One of the more difficult photos I've ever had to process as it's actually a blend of three shots of differing brightness of the setting moon and Milky Way taken just after 3am at the Pinnacles, a wonderfully weird formation of limestone pillars a couple of hundred kilometres north of Perth in Western Australia.
Directly above the setting moon you can see a horizontal Milky Way and the constellation of Sagittarius. The two brightest stars directly above the central pinnacle are Nunki and Ascella. The brightest star in Sagittarius is actually Kaus Australis but because it's lower in the sky than the other two (to the left of the pinnacle), it almost seems less luminous. Further to the left of the pinnacle is the constellation of Scorpius.
The brightest star on the right hand side is Altair in the constellation of Aquila (the 12th brightest star in the night sky).
I was at Downsview Park to see Chimney Swifts when I noticed an Osprey hovering over the large pond. As soon as I arrived by the pond, it dove and caught one of the biggest goldfish that I have seen an Osprey catch. The bird tried to go around one of the four water fountains and ended up dropping the fish. He didn't give up, he did a few circles and dove again to catch an equally large goldfish. And yes, I did see and photograph the Chimney Swifts.
We're in some difficult times...but I'd still like to wish everyone a happy Easter. Easter and Spring are intertwined with hope...which we need in abundance now.
With the situation we're in and sticking around the house for days on end...I couldn't help but try to capture some azaleas in my yard last weekend.
Emerald Damselfly ? :-
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.

Oak Creek runs through the foreground, which is why it's so green. I'm having a surprisingly difficult time finding a high quality map of Sedona rock formations, so I don't know the names of these. HDR panorama from 50 frames.
When I visited St Aidans the other day I was lucky to have bright sunny weather. The Swallows and Sand Martins were out in force so I decided to have a go at photographing them in flight. Alas this is the best of my Sand Martin photos. Now, I know they are super fast but I have seen a reasonable number of fabulous in flight photos on Flickr, so what am I doing wrong? It must boil down to my auto focus settings.
I am using AF-C with a wide focus area, a fast shutter speed with a lowish ISO. I also increased the exposure bias, in this case by 1.7. I have opened up my EXIF data, so if anyone can make any recommendations or point me in the right direction please feel free to do so. I am sure that instead of using the "Wide" focus area I have also previously tried the "Zone" setting.

Very difficult to find and very localized. It was only possible to find it with the invaluable help of our guide deep in the forest.
Endemic to North and Central Sulawesi

Droplets quite difficult focus since my right eye have been laser:) But who can bear this nature at sight?
Thank you to simply happy all things surrounding:)
This past week I have been attempting to photograph Great Blue Herons in flight. It has been much more difficult than I anticipated. Over four days I fired off some 900 frames the equivalent to 25 to 30 rolls of film. I would never have attempted this pre-digital as the cost would have been prohibitive. I enjoyed every moment, learned more about my camera and managed a few decent Heron images.
Stoki used to be a village near Łódź. It is difficult to determine when exactly they were created. The first record comes from 1350. The former village of Stoki can be classified as an old compact village. Documents from ancient times do not say much about the fact that there were three ponds in the center of the village. On maps from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the village of Stoki is marked on the road from Łódź to Brzeziny, somewhere in the area of today's Telefoniczna Street. The farm was located southeast of the village. In 1908, on the former estates of the Stokowski family, then Wojciechowski family, between the current streets: Bronisława Czecha, Krokusowa, Pszczyńska and Czorsztyńska, agricultural fields were divided into plots. This is how, over time, a housing estate of single-family houses was created. During World War II, the Germans occupied Łódź and its surroundings (including Stoki). Near the Stoki farm, they built from scratch a housing estate with typical German architecture, which still exists today. This investment was, in a way, the implementation of Poles' pre-war plans related to the urbanization of this area. Soldiers and officials lived in two-story houses with good sanitary conditions at that time. Wounded soldiers were brought to the Stoki railway station and treated there. After the end of World War II, Stoki was incorporated into the administrative boundaries of the city of Łódź.
C'est un rapace éminemment charognard, bien qu'il attaque n'importe quel animal qu'il voit blessé ou en difficulté, y compris les moutons et même les chevaux. Opportuniste, il utilise la force du groupe pour attaquer n'importe quelle proie. Au Pantanal, il a aussi été observé en train de manger les parasites d'un Capybara à la manière d'un pique-bœuf .

A bird that is very difficult to spot amongst the pebbles until it moves is the ringed plover.

As always I extend my sincere gratitude to all who are kind enough to comment and fave my photos or even stop by and just have a look. It is very much appreciated.

It's a time for everything.
It's always a time for afterthought, I sure have done that this year.
It's a wonder that I still have one or two brain cells left, lol.
Brain cells aren't used only for work.
Difficult tasks within can blow your mind away.
Why is that?
When you are at work you use your brain in a relatively calm, rational way, it's mostly based on knowledge.
When you are dealing with your inner being you will touch your feelings as soon as you open the door only a tiny bit.
And that hurts.
We normally don't like to be hurt.
Therefore we leave things to be instead of dealing with them, even though you know that you do things in a way you know isn't proper for you or others.
And then you are stuck.
It only gets worse, it never gets fixed without your attention.
Somehow the problem keeps growing and will become like a domino, leaving you with even more tasks to deal with, but the same problem is there like a basis, a foundation, it just transforms into different shapes.
"The story of my life..", you can think, "Why am I always so unlucky?"
Giving it attention is the same as giving the problem light.
Darkness is never a solution.
Light is.
Attention can be done in many ways. When you first are aware of that something is wrong, then you have taken the first step.
We all deal with our stuff in different ways.
The most important is that you actually deal with it.
Some don't need dwelling, back an forth, some know exactly what to do and proceed.
Some needs breaks in thinking, to let it all mature and when the time is right, they do what they need to do.
I'm a slow one, taking into consideration all and everything.
But when I know I'm right, I act like a tsunami. 2018 has been filled with emotional tsunamis, followed by action and intuition.
Tsunami after tsunami.
My tsunamis are like fire in the forest, my foundation gets cleansed, purified and leaving me with a new respect and love for myself and leaving me ready for new adventures.
The unknown is always a nice pillow, we can make many excuses to just be left stuck.
We often don't see that we are doing just that.
Time for heavy food has been and is definitely over for me, for a long time.
Heavy food can make me sleepy and slow in my body and mind.
I can feel the urge of going for a hike instead of eating the dessert.
But I'm not rude, so of course I don't do that, lol.
The company I have had this Christmas was just as perfect as it should be.
Everyone was thankful for the nice time we could have together, everyone in a good mood.
One special person was missing, but this year has indeed been an adventurous year and we all needed to end the year in this way.
I'm thankful for what has been.
I'm thankful for what is.
I'm thankful for what is to come.
Dear diary, thanks for listening to me this year 😁 I will continue in 2019, I promise, lol.
My journey isn't over yet.
And remember, when I'm in 97 I will be jumping in parachute from a plane 😅

Walking alongside the glacier at St Andrew's Bay on this glorious day it was difficult to believe we were in the Antarctic.
Very difficult to photograph... always on the ground in the middle of branches and moving very quickly.
Endemic to Madagascar and classified as Vulnerable
Ankarafantsika National Park - Madagascar
Species # 1270
Difficult birds to identify unless they are heard and this one never made a sound. I was thinking Least Flycatcher but the eye ring doesn't seem bold enough.
Not too difficult to see where they get their name from in this food transfer between male and female.

I found it difficult to make a choice for this week (it seems I'm often indecisive!), but after much to-ing and fro-ing I decided to go with a sewing theme. The scissors and awl in the foreground belong to a boxed set of sewing tools (open in the background). They are some kind of white metal, not silver, and they date from the 1910s. The other bits in the set are a thimble, a bodkin needle and a needle case (étui). The Sylko cotton reels, in Pale Rose and Lt Pomegranate, date from somewhere between 1938 and the early 1950s. The tiny enamel buttons are Victorian.
For this week's Looking Close... on Friday group theme, Hand Tools.

Anita and I have been to Lewis Ginter Botanical gardens four times now. There is usually something different to see each time, be it artwork or flowers but this time my main goal was the butterfly house. I was interested in getting shots of flying butterflies but I have to say this is really difficult to accomplish. Fun trying though! The males of the Blue Morpho are bright blue on the inside of those wings. The blue morpho is among the largest butterflies in the world, with wings spanning from five to eight inches. See one of my (many) attempts at a flight shot in first comment box.
Never have I had a more difficult time giving a title to an image, than this evening shot from Snickett Park. I knew what I wanted to say, but the right words kept "escaping" me. That is until after reading a synopsis regarding naming conventions. Throughout the dissertation, the author repeated the need to focus on, and express the emotions of the moment.
After naming it, then realizing how it missed the mark, the final title arrived when reflecting on the way I was reacting to the incoming tides. I wanted that swirling wash in the shot considering the low light, and contrast it would deliver. Like fugitives running from the law, the wash would climb the land barrier, pour into the open, only to vanish into the night. In other words, they would escape the confines of the ocean, only to break free and disappear.
