DAZZLINGLY ATTRACTIVE bird, not often seen in our corner of Kent UK, and was not expecting to see it in the Grove Ferry Feast Hide, but what a joy when it landed, he caught a couple of tiddlers and was off, leaving me with the biggest grin ever.

I thought it was so funny to see this place in Santorini with the table on the outside of the building so high up....a cool optical illusion! Last Caturday was dinner for one and this Caturday is dinner for two!

Who would have expected to find her here, silently admiring the sunset from my Baja cabin? I tiptoed quietly, doing my best not to scare her away yet again. The soft click of the Leica shutter was barely audible. She did smile, I swear!
Quelle belle surprise.... Je ne me serais jamais attendu à la trouver là, admirant le coucher de soleil depuis ma cabane à Baja. En me glissant doucement devant elle, je faisais de mon mieux pour ne pas l'effrayer une fois encore. Le délicat déclic du Leica fut imperceptible, à l'image de son petit sourire....

'Always Expect the Unexpected' as the 'Colloquial Saying' goes.
This is the second of two recent stunningly beautiful rainbows.
Despite our squally showers this afternoon and this evening - this was the scene at 9.15pm tonight from the rear of my home looking East just before sunset at 21.45pm.
At the time, there was another heavy rain shower as the sun sat low above the horizon in the West to the front of my home.
Quite remarkable!
Wishing you all a Safe and Happy Weekend!
When it came to the Moscow Metro, I had a good idea what to expects, but the reality was something else. Spacious, stunning, immacculate and clean hardly covers it. There were very few people, Alla said that was because trains come every 90 seconds. Each station has a unique theme, there are no billboards, I could have spent a day visiting stations and riding the trains; this was railway heaven beyond my wildest dreams.
This shot of Mayakovskaya Metro station. The Moscow metro is a marvel of urban design. Every day, as many as 9 million people use the metro system -- that's more than in New York and London combined. As well as being one of the most efficient and cheapest underground transit systems in the world, the Moscow Metro is also undoubtedly one of the most beautiful. The brainchild of the tsars but finally put into action by Stalin, whose idea to make the city’s metro stations “palaces for the people” has translated into some truly spectacular, subterranean architectural gems. It’s possible to spend an entire day or more travelling the metro and exploring the vast array of ornate stations; each constructed and decorated in its own unique way. There are 215 stations on 14 lines.
i wish all my flickr-friends and their loved people the best of all and a happy new year.
thank you all for comments, faves, invitations and visiting my stream.
I expect there may be many images of snail shells for this theme, so decided to give my snails a rest this week and photograph my cycad house plant that has just put up a few new leaves - all the tiny 'leaflets' have coiled ends when they first appear that will straighten as the leaf grows. On this particular leaf, one of the little leaflets has grown a bit ahead of the others and shown off the lovely details of its coiled end.
For Macro Mondays theme 'Spiral'.
The image was done as a 5-shot focus stack at f3.5, focusing on the tight coil which was 1cm across.
The rains continue to fall. It rained on St Swithin's Day and so we expect another 40 days of it. As each drop of rain falls, I feel my fear and worries rise. I am once again picking our son up from the floor following a seizure induced fall. His new specialist epilepsy neurologist is seeing us soon and I am documenting his current condition in his ‘seizure diary’. It does not make good reading.
I fear how I will convey this crucial information. I can talk about epilepsy and autism as well as his other conditions fluently and with confidence. But this meeting will be about our son. When I talk about the pain and torment our son lives through each day, I am always overcome with emotion.
The diary will help, and it will contain thoughts and questions that I will refer to if I need prompts. I am not expecting anything in particular, we have been trying different things over many years now. But his condition is getting worse. In front of our very eyes, we see the changes.
My fears are as plentiful as the endless raindrops falling outside. I just hope this new neurologist listens to my story and commits to continuing to support us through whatever the future holds …
Some sun beams find the way through the overcast sky at Koh Samui, Thailand! Maybe a tropical storm will be coming soon. The Thai fishermen have moored their boats at the shallow low tide shore.

This picture is the peak point of a lesson I once gave to a gorgeous, very talented gal 😋 teaching her to shoot dogs in a natural way.
The goal was to sharpen her eye for the „right moment“; so I was „shooting“, but she had to tell me the precise moment for pushing the trigger 😎
She learned a lot and proudly presented „her commanded work“ in a contest later ... using her name, not mine 😋
Don't ask me about women ... and please no words about „vanity“.
😎😂

Wartend... 😋
Dieses Bild ist der „peak point“ einer Lektion, die ich mal einem großartigen, sehr talentierten Mädel gab, als ich ihr beibrachte, Hunde auf möglichst natürliche Weise zu photographieren; ich lege hohen Wert auf die kultivierte Schreibweise mit „ph“ 😎
Mit „f“ betätigkeitworte 😂 — das Schöne an der Deutschen Sprache ist ihre Unkaputtmachbarkeit — ich gedankenverlorenes „Knipsen“.
Ziel unserer gemeinsamen Übung war es, ihr Auge für den „richtigen Moment" zu schärfen; ich „schoss“ also das Bild, aber sie musste, neben mir hockend, den richtigen Moment für das Drücken des Auslösers ansagen 😋
Auf diese Weise lernte sie eine Menge über „photographische Psychologie“ im weiteren Sinne.
Sie präsentierte später stolz „ihr befohlenes Werk" in einem Wettbewerb ... unter ihrem Namen, nicht dem meinen 😋
Man befrage mich nicht über Frauen ... und — bitte! — kein Wort über „Eitelkeiten“.
😎😂

Didn't expect to see a western grebe chick this early. Normally we start to see them in May.

I expected the Bee eater to be pretty hard to capture. Usually, the more beautiful a bird is, the harder to capture is. That's what I believed until the Bee eaters proved me wrong.
never expected to come across the long billed curlew on my walk today, never know what may show up in the most unexpected places, at times I am curious as to how birds function with such a large bill, but I guess I have never heard one complain
