Surprisingly difficult to stack these cases - they seem to have a mind of their own, either closing right up together, or falling all over the place. I did contemplate sticking them so that they were evenly spaced, and then decided I would let them go they wanted!
One main light on the right and some slight infill on the left.
A bit of post adjustment to tweek the colour but little else.
Russian Industar 61 L/Z f2.8 50mm
so many puffins so it is difficult isolating one. However, this fella was a lone outcast and so we sate with each other for awhile and i waited till he was looking dead on at me... I was happy when another puffin joined us to keep his friend company.

Family : Pentatomidae
Sub-Family : Pentatominae
Species : Carpocoris pudicus
This tiny (10-12mm long) and very colourful hemipteran shield bug is quite widespread throughout central and southern Europe. It is found in France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, and parts of Russia. The colour of this species is quite variable with various shades of red and yellow. It is very difficult to separate this species from its sister species Carpocoris purpureipennis without specific examination of the genital structures. However, as I never collect specimens I cannot do this and have decided to go with C.pudicus.
The habitat for Carpocoris pudicus is dry warm and sunny scrubland, light forest, and cultivated land such as vineyards, usually at modest altitudes from 300 to 1500m asl.Larvae are found from early summer to early autumn and the adults seen from July onwards. Both feed on the fruit, flowers, and sap of a wide variety of different plants.
All my insect pics are single, handheld shots of live insects.
Very difficult working handheld and find stability and the right angle with the sun to get the most beauty out of these rainy dandelions. Only few pictures are OK.
Keter-class SCPs are anomalies that are exceedingly difficult to contain consistently or reliably, with containment procedures often being extensive and complex. The Foundation often can't contain these SCPs well due to not having a solid understanding of the anomaly, or lacking the technology to properly contain or counter it. A Keter SCP does not mean the SCP is dangerous, just that it is simply very difficult or costly to contain.. ◊
"If you're looking for different results, do not always do the same." Einstein.
Singapore is a city that is constantly being renewed, but at the same time it is a clear example of how the most modern cities can preserve green zones and architectonic balance while still growing.
The surroundings of the Marina Bay Sands hotel are really photogenic, it is difficult not to include the fantastic building in any composition. From Gardens by the Bay we can capture the luxurious hotel next to the incredible artificial trees located in these huge gardens. These trees seem to be taken from those science fiction films that present futures that seem less and less distant. The dusk is an ideal time to add the magnificent building lights to our futuristic picture.

"Si buscas resultados diferentes, no hagas siempre lo mismo". Einstein.
Singapore es una ciudad en continua renovación, pero al mismo tiempo es un claro ejemplo de como las urbes más modernas pueden preservar zonas verdes y equilibrio arquitectónico a la vez que siguen creciendo.
Los alrededores del hotel "Marina Bay Sands" son realmente fotogénicos, resulta difícil no incluir el fantástico edificio en cualquier composición. Desde "Gardens by the Bay" podemos capturar el lujoso hotel junto a los increíbles árboles artificiales situados en estos inmensos jardines. Estos árboles parecen sacados de esas películas de ciencia ficción que nos presentan futuros que cada vez parecen menos lejanos. El crepúsculo es un momento ideal para añadir la magnífica iluminación de los edificios a nuestra fotografía futurista.
One of those shots that didnt need a crop .. I liked the composition but I did flip the image to the left it just seemed more natural. i find this colour very difficult to shoot but seemed to get some definition this time in the petals :)
Difficult to name all these Bee's, I have lots awaiting an ID in my files.
This might be Andrena nigroaenea approaching one of my Foxgloves, Common in lowland Britain. ID help always appreciated
Have you heard this Parable?
Shortcuts through rough times may lead to shortcomings later down the road. Let's learn to ask God what we are supposed to learn from a rough situation...instead of asking God to remove that thing entirely.
Whatever your cross,
whatever your pain,
there will always be sunshine,
after the rain ....
Perhaps you may stumble,
perhaps even fall,
But God's always ready,
To answer your call ...
He knows every heartache,
sees every tear,
A word from His lips,
can calm every fear ...
Your sorrows may linger,
throughout the night,
But suddenly vanish,
in dawn's early light ...
The Savior is waiting,
somewhere above,
To give you His grace,
and send you His love ..
Whatever your cross,
whatever your pain,
"God always sends rainbows ....
after the rain ... "
To get out of difficulty, one must usually go through it!

2020 has been a difficult year for so many of us with the experience of the Covid-19 pandemic and has definitely felt like a very long and dark tunnel that seems to never end!!
But It's good to remind ourselves that we will get through it and yes, there is "Light at the End of the Tunnel"!

For comparison, here's a Greater Yellowlegs (Lesser Yellowlegs was uploaded earlier today - go back one). Note the bill, mostly black with a yellow-green base, and definitely longer than the Lesser's bill. Size is more difficult to discern, but this species is significantly larger. The white stuff isn't foam or ice, but drifts of swan feathers from the hundreds of Tundra Swans staging here on their southbound migration (go back two shots!).

It was quite a difficult place to get in, unless you plan way ahead of coming and obtain the necessary tickets, otherwise, good luck. Even with ticket, with some specific reserved time, it was confusing where to go and what to do since once you get to the ticket office, you'd need to exchange your online tickets with the real tickets and there were lines of people lining up and which lines are which...(a long walk uphill to the ticket office where you'd get in). If you missed you reserved time, then you'd not be able to see some of the main places inside. All in all, quite a hassle, but I think if you go to Granada, then I believe that you'd want to visit this place.

From Wikipedia:
The Alhambra (/ælˈhæmbrə/; Spanish: [aˈlambɾa]; Arabic: الْحَمْرَاء [ʔælħæmˈɾˠɑːʔ], Al-Ḥamrā, lit. "The Red One"),[Note 1][Note 2] the complete Arabic form of which was Qalat Al-Hamra,[Note 3] is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It was originally constructed as a small fortress in AD 889 on the remains of Roman fortifications, and then largely ignored until its ruins were renovated and rebuilt in the mid-13th century by the Moorish emir Mohammed ben Al-Ahmar of the Emirate of Granada, who built its current palace and walls. It was converted into a royal palace in 1333 by Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada.[1] After the conclusion of the Christian Reconquista in 1492, the site became the Royal Court of Ferdinand and Isabella (where Christopher Columbus received royal endorsement for his expedition), and the palaces were partially altered to Renaissance tastes. In 1526 Charles I & V commissioned a new Renaissance palace better befitting the Holy Roman Emperor in the revolutionary Mannerist style influenced by Humanist philosophy in direct juxtaposition with the Nasrid Andalusian architecture, but which was ultimately never completed due to Morisco rebellions in Granada.

Taken with my "cheap" Nikon 24-85mm...
This is an image of the Messier 78 complex M78 in Orion. It is a difficult object from my location due to the strong light pollution here unfortunately but I decided to try.
This is also known as the "Casper The Friendly Ghost Nebula" although I'm not entirely sure where this comes from!
Certainly the two Nebula, M78 at right and NGC 2071 left, look like two ghostly eyes peering out from the darkness but I wouldn't say they looked friendly, more sinister I would say lol!!
However, M78 was discovered in 1780 by Pierre Méchain who passed on its location to Charles Messier who catalogued it as M78.
M78 is a reflection nebula, showing the typical sky blue colour and the brightest in this complex. We only see these structures because of the associated stars illuminating the clouds of dust by reflecting their light. The whole complex is surrounded by dark, thick dust and gas adding a sense of mystery. The dust has a slight reddish hue.
The complex consists of M78, the brightest at left. Above it are NGC 2067 (l) and NGC 2064(r). The bright nebula to the left of M78 forming the other eye is NGC 2071.
Image with a Skywatcher Esprit 120ED scope and a ZWO 2600MC camera.
A total of 3hr exposure calibrated with temp. matched darks, flats and dark flats.
Thanks for looking!
It is difficult to make interesting bokeh photos on a very cloudy day. But, Pentacon Prakticar MC 50mm f1.8 as its older sibling M.O.G. Oreston, is so perfectly imperfect that even in those condition bokeh is painterly and engaging.

Difficult times. There were only women left in the village. All men at the front, one Chairman remained.
Happy first day of Summer! The summer months can be a difficult time to photograph the coast due to the presence of marine layers that can totally cloud things in. After a couple mornings of getting nothing for light, we noticed the marine layer breaking further to the south of us. We hurried there and were rewarded with beautiful shifting clouds and fog! Have a great weekend!
The Cape Borda Lightstation was first constructed on Kangaroo Island’s northwest coast in 1858. Today, Cape Borda is Australia’s only square lighthouse.
The lives of the people now buried in the nearby light-keepers’ cemetery were difficult and isolated.
Social distancing hasn't been that difficult to be honest. We live in a remote place in a sparsely populated area, and we're not really the most sociable pair in the world. Add to that I'm an accountant who does landscape photography to deal with the slings and arrows of an oddly chosen career - I was good at maths at school but lacked the imagination to do anything more interesting or rewarding - and you get the picture. Like many of us, I'm happiest when alone, or in the company of a very small number of carefully chosen companions.
Still, social distancing for the last 8 weeks has meant not going out with the camera, and I resigned myself to that fact happily, in support of those who are doing far more important and often dangerous work to keep the nation operating in some sort of way, and to save lives of course. Finally, we are allowed to head out, with caution of course, but it's in the nature of many of us as photographers to head for places at times when we can spread out and point our cameras at views like this.
It was nice to catch up with Lee, who I've not seen since we headed down to the tip of Cornwall at the beginning of March to scope out Kenidjack Valley. This time last year we were planning an adventure to Iceland with enormous excitement. Now, we're just pleased to be at large on our own stomping grounds. It might be all we get to do this year, with plans for wider adventures on hold, but I won't complain. How could I when I have places like this half an hour's drive from the door?
St Michael's Mount rewarded us for two months of patience, with the setting sun over nearby Penzance lighting the subject beautifully. A chance to revisit old haunts and see them anew.
Keep well everyone - keep safe.
A difficult day today. Very dark light meant a low iso and wide apertures resulting in long exposures.

From a slide. Reptiles are difficult to photograph well because they are so long and thin. Undoubtedly a head shot would have had more impact but that would have entailed going much closer ....

Cette difficulté d’être dans l’abondance démontrerait à elle seule, s’il le fallait, que la prétendue « naturalité » du désir de bien-être n’est pas si naturelle que ça –sinon les individus n’auraient pas tant de mal à s’y faire, ils sauteraient à pieds joints dans la profusion. Ceci devrait nous faire pressentir qu’il y a dans la consommation autre chose de tout différent, peut-être même l’inverse –quelque chose à quoi il faut éduquer, dresser et domestiquer les hommes- en fait un nouveau système de contraintes morales et psychologiques qui n’a rien à voir avec le règne de la liberté. Le lexique des néo-philosophes du désir est significatif à cet égard. Il n’est question que d’apprendre aux hommes à être heureux, de leur apprendre à se consacrer au bonheur, d’aménager chez eux les réflexes du bonheur. L’abondance n’est donc pas un paradis, le saut par-delà la morale dans l’immoralité rêvée de la profusion, c’est une nouvelle situation objective régie par une nouvelle morale. Objectivement parlant, ce n’est donc pas un progrès, c’est tout simplement quelque chose d’autre.
Jean Baudrillard
Difficult to show this in all it's dereliction ! I wanted to focus on the state of the beautiful old Victorian Pier here in Weston super Mare. High key and long exposure taken with with little stopper and 6nd grad filter.
It’s difficult to post “pretty photos” when “Nero” is playing golf and celebrating personal stock market “wins” with his billionaire sycophants while “Rome” and the global economy “burns.” But beauty is still there. It serves as an antidote to discord, and is a reminder of the beauty we should be striving for in our world.
We finally got to visit the windmill which is one of the biggest in Norfolk. It is quite difficult to get to as there is no road and unless you have a boat which we don't it is a six mile round trip walk although there is a tiny railway request stop fairly nearby. I was really impressed by the size of the mill so it was well worth the walk.

The petals are so luscious and voluptuous!
The Peony is indigenous to China, but was imported to Japan so early it is difficult to be certain when the transplantation occurred.
It is a perennial plant with single flowers of white, red or pink which are born in late spring.
The peony was originally introduced as medicine. In fact, its ancient Japanese name "Ebisugusuri" literally means ‘medicine from China’.
However, due to its beautiful and now mostly double blooms, in time, many decorative varieties were developed.
In Japanese society, it was seen both as a medicine and a source of beauty.
THANK you for ALL your comments and visits, so appreciated.
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)
