I wish you all a happy new month and stay safe always my Flickr friends .....
Expecting cold rainy weather for the coming weekend, maybe even some snow. So here's some sunshine to go. :-)
I LOVE April!
closer than expected for such a shy species and it was in this spot just long enough for one shot.

I'm in Stowe, Vermont for the weekend. The hike to Bingham Falls was a little more icy than expected, but the payoff was huge. What a scenery of icicles!
Happy Sunday all!
By the way: This is a popular swimming hole in summer. No one swimming today :)
The Krall Barn is believed to be the oldest existing log barn in Lebanon County. The effort to save it first kicked off in 2007, when the structure, then located east of Schaefferstown, was saved from destruction by a cooperating owner, Howard Scharff, who worked with Schaefferstown’s Bill Ross by offering to donate the barn if it was dismantled. The way it stands now, most of the exterior of the Krall Barn is nearly complete. But there are many smaller, inside projects yet to be tackled. The education center is expected to make it easier for visitors to enjoy their time at the 110 acre historic site that features three locks of the Union Canal, an engineering feat visited by none less than President George Washington himself during its construction.

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!

some sad news I have been expecting arrived yesterday ...
my dear Aunt Mal passed after battling cancer for many years ..
she had a good life and lived her entire life in Wales .. . she loved horses and farms .
when she discovered she had cancer she immediately arranged to hike the Pennine Way .. . this National Trail chases along the mountain tops along the rugged backbone of England and offers 268 miles of the finest upland walking in England. A once in a lifetime experience.
her energy and laughter and encouragement will be with me forever .. some special light never dies .. I miss her already ..

I don't expect comments and/or any faves on either of these
nondescript shots actually as was only to show how I came by turquoise blue in the beech leaves shots - but if you so wished there is now a choice. Having descended to the very depths and know I had a climb back I was determined to go away with something for my trouble lol :)

We knew that roe deer visited our yard, it was clearly visible in the hoof prints. It was also not to be overlooked that our roses, sedum and other flowers had been snacked in the past few days. But we did not expect that a deer would visit our garden during the day while we were sitting nearby in the kitchen....
At Jazz Festivals you must expect all kinds of music. Montreal dedicates different stages to different genres, so you kind of know what is happening. Matthew Whitaker was a new name for me and he was playing on 'Blues Stage'. I did not expect Steve Wonder, but if you close your eyes, that's who was on the stage (except he doesn't sing). Matthew is only 22 years old and he made it in NYC already. I only realized at the end of the concert, when he was led of stage, that he is blind.

She's 8 and a figure skater. Or so we thought. In January of 2023, she joined girls under 9 hockey. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to be already travelling to her first tournament and seeing her actually win. She's one of the smallest out there but she plays with heart and those little legs can fly.
As much as it is all for fun, before every game she becomes silent as she waits to take the ice. This is her wait before the championship.
Looks like great expectations ahead for this pair...

in our local BIG park. We were expecting heavy grey skies this year, but we were blessed with this wonderful light ! I have still to cook our Christmas meal - so I'm rushing to get this on before starting the real cooking !
Hope you've had a lovely Christmas Day so far (it's not over yet) - a lovely time whatever you are celebrating, and that you are suffused with good feelings.
My heart goes out to those who find Christmas and the New Year a lonely and difficult time. We are so lucky to be visiting family tomorrow - I am a lucky woman!
Thanks so much for all your support, as always... you know how I value each and every one of you. I am sorry if I can't always keep up with you !

'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!
"Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up
where no seed has been. I have great faith in a seed.
Convince me that you have a see there.
and I am prepared to expect wonders.'

maybe I just don't open my eyes enough as I've neer seen one before so wasn't expecting it to be called a common blue lol
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.
Who would have expected to ever see 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 m'attendais plus à un jour la retrouver 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....

THE PLOUGH BOY
The plough boy wends his merry way
and whistles up the sun today.
Yesterday he made it rain,
and ploughing was postponed again!
Tomorrow if his notes are low
Perhaps we will be in for snow.
But if his tunes are all displeasing
Expect a bitter morn-with freezing!
Late evening shots., shadows and silhouettes
Like many I clicked a few off., and 'flicked through' them later not really expecting anything.. but then I came to this
For me it had 'something' ., those claws look very 'raw' and visceral., it provoked a 'feeling' and emotional' response which I like in a photograph
I understand it's completely different to the 'feather perfect' conventional daylight shots usually found in this forum., so you make like it., you may hate it
But you know what! I might just try a few more of these!
2020 Lamborghini Adventador SVJ Coupe
With wild-looking bodywork and dramatic performance, the 2020 Lamborghini Aventador is spectacular in every sense of the word. It's also the last of a dying breed, with hybrid technology expected to enhance future iterations of the V-12 supercar. Still, this wedge-shaped, scissor-doored Lambo blasts into the sunset with neck-snapping acceleration and a maniacal exhaust note.
The 2020 Aventador powertrain hierarchy begins with a mid-mounted naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12 that develops 730 horsepower and 509 lb-ft of torque that is transmitted to the wheels via a seven-speed automated-manual transmission. This basic setup is shared among the three distinct variants, but the track-focused SVJ (which stands for Superveloce Jota) has various enhancements that unlock extra horsepower and torque that meet the pavement through all four wheels. We drove this brutally powerful monster—along with its roofless counterpart—and experienced their tremendous acceleration and kidney-crushing cornering forces firsthand. The hefty machines heaved through the corners, but their incredible grip and rear-steering system helped it change direction.

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.

Here comes the rain to melt the snow. Spring is almost here! :) I liked the way the drops rested on the orange cord. I love me some drop hunting. Hehe ;)
After lunch, a visit to the Peter and Paul fortress where a crowd numbering in the thousands were lined up across an enormous quadrangle. One look at the crowd and I opted to skip the tour. I would meet them by the exit in 90 minutes.
Even in the gardens and grounds of the fortress, the crowds were impossible. I found a spot to sit, chill and watch the exit.
Katrina and her four charges were out of the Peter and Paul fortress a lot sooner than expected. The alcoholic couple quit the fortress tour saying it was a waste of time because the crowds were impossible. When I saw them come out of the fortress, I knew the others would be close behind. Katrina said there are five cruise ships in port today, which is why the crowds were so large.

This is a sight I had never seen before last year, Gannets flying in tight formation the crucial thing is the date March 1st . Its not a great shot but I wanted to keep a record
We had gone to Bempton just to walk the cliff tops not really expecting much bird activity . However a RSPB warden told us that the Gannets were just beginning to the return to the cliffs and they arrive back in large groups . When they have mated they tend to hunt individually
Northern Gannets mate for life. Young birds reach maturity between the ages of four and five. They begin breeding between March and April. Northern Gannets mainly breed in colonies and breeding sites, also called “gannetries”, on cliffs and offshore islands. They tend to stay loyal to their breeding sites and return to the colony they were born in. Experienced adults usually arrive at the breeding grounds earlier than juveniles, to re-bond with their mate and to defend their territory against rival seabirds.
Their migration routes differ depending on their age. The timing and duration of their migration could also substantially change the geographical location of “gannetries” can also influence the migration patterns of this seabird.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
