The adult males are difficult to find. During the migration they are the first to leave on their road South. I felt fortunate to catch this one zipping around the backyard the last of August.
Experienced one of the worst weathers in recent summers in Iceland that day with extremely windy conditions and heavy rain. Captured this from the viewpoint at Hraunfossar Lava Falls.
Hraunfossar - Lava Falls - are beautiful and unusual natural phenomena. Clear, cold springs of subterranean water seep through the lava and run as tiny waterfalls and rapids into the Hvita River.
Whilst exciting to see, this bird very soon flooded the internet beyond even biblical proportions. Such was the deluge of photos even Noah couldn't cope.
With this in mind I didn't post too many pics at the time. So with the excitement fully quelled here's one from the archives.

It's an exciting place to visit in Little Compton, RI.
Go out to the very tip of the point (where you see can the couple walking if you zoom in) and you'll find a narrow sand strip with waves coming at you from both sides! Very tide dependent, obviously.
In the distant horizon, you can see several islands. I think the one you can see closest to shore once hosted an elite fishing club, but it's long gone and just a few structural elements remain.
Driving along this beautiful street was exciting, completely surrounded by the colorful foliage and in a complete serenity.
It was such a wonderful experience, and currently we miss it a lot.

It's always exciting to explore a new place such as A Favela I am hoping not to get into too much trouble here. I feel as if I am being scrutinized, but I don't understand why. I am just walking down a public street. I remember being in other places that gave me that same chill. As if I were unwelcome for reasons I could not comprehend. What do you mean by "
Clowntime is Over"? I wasn't clowning, my friend.
In 1980 Elvis Costello and the Attractions released two full-length LPs, Get Happy in February and Taking Liberties in November. A total of 40 tracks, if I recall correctly. This is the alternate take on a song that apeared on both in different versions. Obviously one of my favorites! 🎼

It was so exciting to see and photograph the Northern Lights for the first time. These weren't as strong as others that I saw later on our trip but they were absolutely mesmerizing to watch. I think I got better photos later when the lights were stronger but I am pleased with my first attempts. So many stars in the northern sky. Taken in Nunavut, Canada.
Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.

On June 3, 1841, Auguste Pervillé (?-1868), plant collector for the Museum of Natural History in Paris, from the 'Île de Bourbon' (today Réunion) writes a rather plaintive report to the grand administrator of the Museum. He's too low on funds and is just scraping by. Moreover of the eight months he's just spent collecting in Madagascar he was taken ill and could work only three. But he appears to be steady on the job. And indeed he did a lot of 'economic', agrarian work while he was at it. In Ambongo, southern Madagascar - where he also collected our plant - he found a particularly large coffee plant. If you search around a bit on 'the net' you'll be able to read that letter for yourself. Fascinating! For the rest, little is known of what must have been an exciting life of intrepid travel. In his first scientifc description of this Flaming Beauty, Henri Ernest Baillon (1827-1895) refers (1878) to Pervillé's find and adds that in the local language it's called 'Kirondron'; hence the specific name. It's become naturalised in the Tropics and graces KLCC Park.

.... if the most exciting event is a nap on a shoe.
It has been raining almost all day which means that Cleo is comatose, Fynn is out all day and enjoys getting wet and Linus is bored. When I took some photos of shoes he joined me and eventually fell asleep on my props. There is another capture of the shoes in the comments. They belong to my niece Natalie who temporarily lives in Cleo's hibernation room in the basement. I love Natalie but what really drives me nuts is that she leaves her stuff everywhere, especially her shoes. As the weather was too bad for taking photos outdoors I thought I could just as well use the shoes for some photos, mainly in order to test different types of lighting. For the photo in the comments I used an external flash plus the softbox. It was really very dark and I think the lighting worked pretty well although I still needed the tripod. For the Linus photo I only used the softbox and a reflector, the flash was off.
As exciting as starting a new job is, getting a fresh start in a new place with new people, now that I'm literally a few hours away, rocking a brand new outfit, freshly cut and dyed hair, I can't help but have a wave of anxiety rush over me, and I think that's perfectly okay and normal.
I think I felt like this at almost every job I started, but this is when the questions start coming in. What if people don't like me? What if I don't do a good job and they start doubting me? What if because I'm being hired as a manager other people feel as if they're getting skipped over in favor of me and make it their goal to see me fail? What if something I think I know how to do right, I don't know how to do as good as I thought, and people start to think why'd we hire her when we could've had anyone?
I've always been a hard worker, a good worker, but it doesn't slip my mind that that hasn't always mattered. I never got a degree, I couldn't afford one, I had rent to pay and needed to support more than just myself since I was 18 years old. I always had to work a lot, but it also doesn't slip my mind that even though I spent 9 years at one job, this is still the 10th job I've had. Sure that includes a few quit after the first day bombs, but regardless being the hardest worker hasn't always worked out for me. So being as this is the best opportunity I've ever received, one that pays decent with room to grow, and people to learn from, and people that seem likeable with a healthy company culture and the work/life balance I always read about but never actually got anywhere, I still worry "What if I haven't learned enough yet?"
Regardless, I'm gonna give it my best shot, but in these final moments before it all begins again I just cant help but stress and worry a bit since it's easy to say "Yeah I can swim to that island" but actually getting there is a whole other story, and I just hope I don't drown because I really, really need a win this time.
A little late, I was meaning to post this in Jan. for the Chinese New Year, here it is, celebrating now. Happy weekend my friends =)
Exciting to spot this wild Stallion on the edge of the forest with its thick winter coat, over grown forelock and mane. The Alberta foothills is home to hundreds of wild Horses believed to be descendants of domestic horses used in logging and guiding/outfitting operations in the early 1900s.

How exciting to be able to see this Bobolink, a life bird and rare bird to the area. This beauty seemed to like Elliot and perched several times right in front of him! It was up most of the time perching and preening then dropped down to the ground to hunt seeds.
I missed this bird three years ago in San Leandro at Oyster Bay. So happy to add this one to my list!!
First of everything is always exciting.
Karen, thank you so much for making my day by writing my very first testimonial!! She loves morning coffee, so this is a dedication to her =)
Hope you all have a wonderful & relaxing Sunday!

This was SO exciting for me. After observing this White-tailed Kite family for 3 months, and after the youngsters have been flying only two days, the little fledgling goes for its first food transfer with the encouragement and patience of the parent.

Not a very exciting bird but no coverage of the Falkland Islands birds would be complete without at least one photo of these guys. Robin Woods in his "Birds and Mammals of the Falkland Islands" does his best to make something out of it but I find that this bird shines more by its friendly and interesting behaviour than by its looks. Here is what Mr Woods says " The only small Falkand land bird with all dark brown plumage, a finely pointed decurved black bill and black legs, this remarkably tame, restless and inquisitive bird is unmistakable.... Tussacbirds are so inquisitive that they will approach boats nearing the shore and will even perch on people on the beach...." I totally agree with this description... it was a bit of a challenge to have it sit for a picture, although it never hesitated to perch right on top of you, too close for a decent photo.
The most exciting event at our new home this past year (other than the King Cobra in the yard) was the hoopoe nest in the roof of our house. It was a delight to watch these beautiful birds as mom and dad would constantly be foraging for the nestlings. The main course seemed to be spiders. After the nestlings fledged they would sit on our front porch just inches away from the windows.
Wikipedia: The Eurasian hoopoe (Upupa epops) is the most widespread species of the genus Upupa. It is a distinctive cinnamon colored bird with black and white wings, a tall erectile crest, a broad white band across a black tail, and a long narrow downcurved bill. Its call is a soft "oop-oop-oop". It is native to Europe, Asia and the northern half of Africa.
Conservation status: Least Concern
Exhilarating watching when the waves are putting on a show of power, these along the rocky edges of Portland the place with its well known lighthouse, Portland Bill near Weymouth, Dorset.
Always exciting to see these rare late Summer clubtails since we don't see any some years. He was one of 4 including a mating pair the other day - it's looking like a good year for them. Now watching for Laura's clubtails too - an even rarer Stylurus but we get them! @ the wetlands, N Georgia this week
Happy Dragonfly Friday!

Always exciting to find the first hamamelis in bloom with its strange configuration in the flowers and its beautiful haunting scent.
I usually find them in Hilliers Gardens but now we have this one of our own, in a pot on the deck.
A little research for the origins of the name of this shrub gave me different answers but my favourite explanation is this:
.....the flexible forked twigs of witch hazel are preferred as divining rods. Regardless, modern witches do consider witch hazel a magical plant, to ward off evil and to help heal a broken heart. 'Hazel' because the plant's leaves resemble those of a hazelnut tree.

Friends, I have arrived Oslo, the Capital of Norway, for another exciting trip to the North Pole....enjoy the reflections of the glasspane while evening descends....
Best wishes
just an update
getting ready for the snow, cant wait! with climate change happening, we may all freeze to death, exciting!
Yesterday was an exciting day on our block. This owl roosted for at least 12 hours in one of the big elms that line the street. My attention was drawn in that direction by the morning crows, who were quite vocal about the situation. So with coffee cup in hand I walked down a couple of houses to see what all the commotion was about.
The crows kept watch and remained vocal for the entire rest of the day, sometimes joined by raucous jays and buzzing hummingbirds. Through it all the owl remained stoic, zen-like. But I don't think it had a very restful roost, especially too with a lot of human gawkers. He (or she) was perched relatively low.
I shot with my digital SLR for the first time in about 3 months. Part of the reason being my lenses are having a difficult time communicating with the body. But I have a 70-300 zoom and wanted to get close. I also shot it on film with Tri-X and my 300mm fixed telephoto, which I had not used in decades. I'm not hopeful for sharpness there either, since the thing is heavy AF.

Hey! Exciting time of the year. While spring flowers are just starting to emerge, the Moths are beginning to appear on my moth sheet.
(I know, everybody doesn't get excited about seeing 'em. And I cheated, these are from last year.)
New one for me. Posted on BugGuide: bugguide.net/node/view/1999924

Columbia, Missouri
This isn't the usual type of image I post on Flickr. Not that I have a style (I don't think) and I do like to experiment. Yesterday, being September 1, was exciting to me because it means my favourite season, autumn, is coming. That said, it was still a really warm day so we went to Kits Beach over town (meaning Vancouver as opposed to North Vancouver). The beach was full of volleyball nets nearly as far as the eye could see. Here, one of the games had just finished, and when I saw the two guys sitting on the log chatting, with the other players still on the sand, I had to capture it.
