Brown Shrikes are migratory birds and sighted in winters across the country. I suppose they migrate from Northern Asia / China. They are not common as compared to their other cousins, the Long Tailed Shrike and the Bay Backed Shrike which are seen lot more. This year, we have seen several Brown Shrikes during the summer too much to my surprise.

This kind of surveying from a tall perch is a typical behavior demonstrated by Shrikes. This bird family prefers to perch on dry branches around 2-3 meters high and survey the nearby area, often within 10 meters for any insects or small larvae etc... Once it identifies the prey, it quickly dives, catches and gets back to the perch. On this occasion, this juvenile was excited, fluttered its wings several times, but think it lost sight, so it didn't make the jump.

Thank you so much for your views, favorites and feedback. Much appreciated!

Hey everyone! I'm excited to finally announce I'm back. I'll be having time to log on again, less than before I started the new job but still more than the almost never from the last 5 months, and I'll be back on Flickr too since my office will be complete some time next week. I'm so excited to catch up on all your photostreams and share with you some new shots I'm working in a new moody kind of series I'm making. I'm really excited to create again, and I've missed all of you a ton! Look forward to seeing you all around again, I'll catch up on all your streams over the next month, but for now I just wanted to say I'm back and I've missed ya!

I am very excited about the update of Luanes World @ Slice of heaven:) I have been slaving all day to give the sim a spring make-over, and for the big part the work is finished:)

Where Luanes Magical World @ Morning Glow is all about magic, mystery and fairytales, Luanes World @Slice of Heaven is a 'normal' but very romantic sim with a lot of nice spots all around.

Come see for yourself, and please take a lot of pics on both sims - post them here :)

I need to interrupt the beauty of Hawrelak Park with this bulletin. After I returned from Hawrelak and had some time to warm up, it came to my attention that the squirrel was some upset over the mouse showing him up in the levitation department. He called me over and gave me a severe dressing down and insisted that I document the fact that he’s still the supreme ruler over all things levitation. You know me, there was no way I was going to decline this opportunity and my fingers had recuperated by that time. We were a definite go for this. He did not disappoint, I was blown away. He actually showed me his best stuff. And this, Ladies and Gentlemen, is why competition rules. It propels us to hitherto unknown heights. Both of us were, to say the least, somewhat excited …

Just a couple of more technical things about levitation here. Most of you may be under the impression that levitation is something that happens in slow motion like when an Indian guru does it. Well, most of the time, this is not the case. You have to be on your toes because the event is over in the flash of an eyeblink. Speaking of being on your toes, like many of my other shots, including the ones from Hawrelak, I employed my favorite shooting technique, the sitting down and enjoying life scenario. This one taken from my swing bench. So, don’t get too hung up over which is the proper shooting stance and how your feet should be positioned for this or that, just relax and get it done :-)

Have a wonderful week!

Believe it or not, this looks pretty cool when pressing on the + thingy.

Way too excited to be shot

I am excited to show you this picture because it is the beginning of December, my favorite month I would believe and what a way to welcome it than by taking a picture with a beautiful backdrop created by .banana peel. It includes the little trees, the floating gifts and I will leave a preview so you can appreciate it better, I hope this month will be one of many laughs and joys for all of you, my little nanuk dog and I will do it, more when he saw me floating in happiness because of the food I think about (? lol

There's something about this project that gives me confidence I didn't think I had, it opens up different concepts and ideas in my head, it makes me think more, and often times I truly feel like I have a twin. If I'm so happy with this project already at day 37 i'm so excited for the rest of it!

this is my first body expansion of myself!

Can you image me being excited by the display of all these warm colors! I usually leave the sun out of my photo but today the colors appeared after sunrise. Isn't this a lovely jetty, but I wonder .... why isn't it symmetrical?

We are excited to announce the opening of a new residential island called Saint-Chateau, inspired by the French Antilles and the style of Martinique and St. Barth's. This island is designed to offer a unique tropical living experience to its residents.

Saint-Chateau's port is a true gem, with Antillean and colonial style buildings where people can live in apartments and houses. Additionally, the port offers a few habitable yacht berths for residents who want to live on the water while enjoying the nautical lifestyle. Residents will also have the opportunity to customize their yachts to their personal tastes.

In the heights of the island, you will find typical houses of the region in banana and rum plantations. These magnificent estates will be available for rent for residents who want to live in an authentic setting.

Experience the perfect blend of breathtaking beauty and awe-inspiring surf breaks. St-Chateau boasts an abundance of sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, providing the ideal playground for surf enthusiasts of all levels.

We look forward to showing you Saint-Chateau and offering you a unique tropical living experience.

The reservation list is now open, if you want to secure your future home contact Victoire Sire or Francois Humburg directly in-world. We have a limited number of units, so the first to arrive will be the first to be served. Thanks for understanding! <3

Bald Eagles mate for life. The females are usually larger - perhaps the one on the left. She was perched alone with command of the beach below when her juvenile offspring caused her to momentarily "jump" to avoid his erratic landing. Her protests were notable and loud enough to summon Dad who also got in on the act. The youngster found a place to land a couple of trees down.

This is the only picture which I DID NOT do any color, brightness and etc adjust. Direct converted from RAW to Jpeg.

Here I am, standing on the shoreline just after 3:30 in the morning, the horizon is already ablaze with colour, I’m excited. My tripod is already out and waiting for the camera as I rapidly change my lens under the illumination of my head torch, I’ll use my super EF16-35 f4L, I’m excited. I look for an early composition, these rock platforms look fantastic, leading lines galore carved out by millennia of sea erosion, I’m excited. It’s still low light, to keep that colour on the horizon I need a ND grad, I decide to use a medium 2 stop to lift the foreground darkness, I’m excited. I frame the image, check the settings, f11, calculate the shutter speed, back to ISO 100 and bulb, this is fun, I’m excited. The first photo taken with a 76 second exposure, I check the results but no pressure it’s still 40 minutes from sunrise, did I say I’m excited. The first photo of the morning, the day before the summer solstice, the time is 3:40.

So I work at Enchanted Forest. Which is like this little theme park, but today we're having this music festival! So all over the park are going to be a bunch of random local bands playing all day, so theres going to be sooo many extra people in the park. Its pretty much going to be all hell breaking loose at Enchanted Forest and I am so stoked. :)

But anyways, they did an article on it in the newspaper. I guess I'll have to update you all on how it went tonight :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So it wasn't quite as hectic as I was hoping. Dang. But still a very nice change from the usual day. I definitely enjoyed it - as I sat in the Entrance booth taking tickets and explaining repeatedly what we were doing I got to listen to various acoustic bands not too far away. So I was happy :)

UPDATE: Made it on to Explore #8 on 5th May 2013 - Thanks to all who viewed, commented and faved. It means a lot. :-)

This location, New Brighton beach, is rapidly becoming a favourite for me. I spend pretty much every weekend here. True, its not the most stunning location when you consider what NZ has on offer, but this place really has soul; and surely that counts for more?

The Autumn light here is sublime and I am really excited about the coming months here in my new home.

This image is from my new series 'Inversion' . Please visit my website for more images from this set and other themed sets of imagery.

Got really excited when I saw this today. Only ever seen one before, at Lackford Lakes, Suffolk they are 1cm long. This one was just down the road from where i live so now i shall be forever looking out for them.

Ruby-Tailed Wasps are found in most parts of Britain. Ruby-Tailed Wasps are metallic-coloured insects. Their beautiful shiny red, blue, green and bronze colours glitter in the sunshine and their appearance is stunning when seen in close-up. Chrysis ignita is the commonest of several very similar species of Ruby-Tailed Wasps
