A beautiful and exciting day at Ponta da Piedade is coming to its end and the last sunrays are bringing the rocks in front of me to shine. There are so many photos left, I could still post but at some point it is time to move on. And so I will end that series tomorrow.
I don't exclude that I'm going to show one of the remaining shots from time to time. And if it's only to refresh my memories.
Ein wunderschöner und aufregender Tag am Ponta da Piedade geht zu Ende und die letzten Sonnenstrahlen bringen die Felsen vor mir zum Leuchten. Ich hätte noch so viel mehr Bilder von hier posten können, doch irgendwann ist es Zeit weiter zu ziehen. Und so werde ich diese Serie morgen beenden.
Ich schließe nicht aus, dass ich von Zeit zu Zeit nochmal eine der verbliebene Aufnahmen hervorhole. Und wenn auch nur, um meine Erinnerungen wieder aufzufrischen.

Always exciting to try out a new lens! This one of my first attempts. The lens is known for it's incredible 'soap bubble' bokeh.
Taken with the Meyer-Optik Goerlitz Trioplan f2.8/100 lens.
This was shot with the lens wide open at f2.8.
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.

I thought I would jump on the Year in Review bandwagon and select 9 of my favorite landscapes to post commemorating the past year. I have also created a Year In Review "Nightscapes" that I will be posting this evening. Hope you like them!!! :-)
This year has been an exciting and nerve racking year for me. Despite being unemployed for the first 3 months of the year and my medical issues with my kidney stone, my photography opportunities were plentiful. I have been lucky enough to have found a new “Bro-Tog” buddy Bill McIntosh and we have been shooting together at every available opportunity throughout the year. Then I met up with Wayne Pinkston and Quanah Parker for my annual Dark Sky trip through the southwest during the summertime Milky Way season and managed to grab a few good sunrises and sunsets.(BottomLeftCorner andTopLeftCorner). Then later in the fall I was fortunate to have a great time shooting fall color(CenterBottom) and had an incredible trip up to Oregon to shoot the eclipse with Ralf Rohner.(CenterPhoto) For my winter trip I spent that with David Swindler of Action Photo Tours scouting the more remote locations found in the southwest(CenterRowRightandLeft). Then to top off the year Bill and I experienced an incredible sunset last night in Death Valley. The sky lit up gloriously as we said Good-Bye to 2017. I'll be posting that one later.
Thank you all for being so supportive over the past year. I deeply appreciate your encouragement and am truly grateful for that. If you like my photos then please share them with your friends or add it to your gallery, and as always your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!!
I wish you all the best in 2018!!

Not the most exciting composition in the world, but what ever.
So many amazing houses in Cleveland, that's one of the reasons I like going there.
I probably won't be posting as much anymore, as I just got my first real job today. But on the other hand, now I'll have the money to travel on the weekends... Awesome! :)
Have a great weekend guys!
The precise location of this bird was posted back in December. Would he still be there?
He was.
He was a life bird for us.
I'm posting this months later....
I was impressed with the results from a post processing program.
I wondered if I could spiff up my less than great photos of this exciting and rare birb.
I'll give you the link to David Steidensticker's owl photo.

Look at the change in the feather detail around the beak.
I'm doing the free trial.
So far the hardest thing has been finding the photo in my files after putting it through processing.
Stay strong, my flickr monkeys.
It's always exciting to see a broad-billed hummingbird in our backyard.

Very exciting to find so many Halloween & Calico pennants at the reservoir this week! Today's our anniversary - a semi-big one ;-) ... have a good Friday.

Down and damp with the crashing waves.... relatively safe, with one eye out for a rogue wave... so beautiful and exciting... and then just a moment of light on the beach and a breaking wave...

.... 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.

This is SO exciting. I was just lamenting to JP how my yard has not attracted any green bees since my gaura died off, one by one, over several years. Last fall, I began replacing them, hoping the green sweat bees would find them again. Rather, here's my first, on a giant sunflower. Gave me 5 seconds and it was off. I'm thrilled I got an image at all, in focus. Frankly, I prefer my bees in profile, but the entire summer lies ahead.
A note about the sunflower. It's wild in my yard. Usually, I pull up plants I didn't plant, unless of course it's a California Poppy. This year, I gave the sunflowers some leeway. Turns out they're of course near the couple of birdie feeders, and when they were just sprouting up I noticed the Lesser Goldfinches love to perch on them before they dive for the feeder or seeds that have fallen. I really had no idea what these plants were till I started to see the buds. So there you have it.
Check it large. The flowering flower is pretty remarkable.
the desired tour around the Royal Clipper begins, see here some passengers ready to take pictures

My wife took the sunset shot because I was driving, but when I took the photos of the paragliding, one of them landed on this same highway with traffic (in the morning though) - no injuries.
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!!
A male adult Palm Warbler. This bird has been on my short list for years. So happy to have finally found one.
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
One thing what is always exciting me, when I'm hiking through the elbe sandstone mountains, are the cliff pine trees. You see them everywhere here. It seems that they would grow right out of the rocks. There is almost no soil there and they are still growing, the final collapse always in front of their eye. Itsn't nature something fascinating ?
Eine Sache, die mich immer wieder begeistert wenn ich im Elbsandsteingebirge unterwegs bin, sind die Klippenkiefern. Man sieht sie hier überall. Es wirkt als würden Sie direkt aus dem Felsen wachsen. Dort wo sie stehen gibt es kaum Erde und trotzdem gedeien und wachsen sie hier, immer den finalen Absturz vor Augen. Natur ist schon was faszinierendes, oder ?
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!
I ended up in this exciting room with lights on the wall…. I wonder if this is an enlarged version of that thing Iron Man has on his chest..

What an exciting day this was. After watching the parent White-tailed Kites for 3 months, at last I saw their babies fly on this day. For this late afternoon photo, the wind was pretty strong, and this youngster was high in the eucalyptus tree next one over from the nest tree. It was really waving in the wind, but the bird never lost its hold, even though it would drift out of sight on the waving branch. I guess they're pretty used to the afternoon winds since the nest is way up there in the tip-top branches too.
The cathedral of Chartres forms one of the most spectacularly exciting ensembles of medieval architecture, sculpture and stained-glass windows.
Erected mostly between 1194 and 1260, the building remained relatively unharmed by the calamities of history, in particular the Religious Wars and the French Revolution.
The most prominent symbol of the cultural revival of the 12th century and a glorious rebuttal of the commonly heard notion of the "Dark Middle Ages", Notre-Dame of Chartres was designated World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979.

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.

thank you for all visits, comments and faves, appreciated
Exciting new restaurant and cantina with street tacos and dogs...great artwork in Covington, Kentucky. Took a break from fall color to eat at two cantina's.
Springtime is so exciting to see Mother Nature spring into action.
Here is a Female Red-winged Blackbird who is definitely Mama Proud of her nest building.
There are no eggs yet but very soon there will be.
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul....Darrell.
Have a safe and beautiful day dear flickr friends.
Thank you to everyone for your visits to my photo-stream....very much appreciated.

It’s always exciting when you capture a photo of a Peregrine falcon. We don’t see many Peregrine Falcons due to their numbers just beginning to rebound as late as the mid 1990’s after abuse of the use of DDT. Due to diligent conservation and recovery efforts, the species was federally delisted in 1999 and was delisted in California in 2009.The Peregrine is renowned for its speed. It can reach over 200 mph during its characteristic hunting stoop (high-speed dive), making it the fastest member of the animal kingdom. This speed demon was taking a break, thus making him an easy subject.
