Expecting cold rainy weather for the coming weekend, maybe even some snow. So here's some sunshine to go. :-)
I LOVE April!
"Don't expect me to repeat everything that has already been said this year.
I don't look to the past, I exist for the future!
My name is Hope!
I know ... There are times when you almost lose me, but whenever that happens, we end up together again.
Hope does not exist without you, and you cannot exist without it.
Believe in 2021! Believe!"

Very end of autumn day.
I expected autumn colours but there wasn't much autumn here.
Air was cold and warm sunlight was really nice.
Passing into Spring,
life emerging from the womb
-- nature's sign of hope.
The tulips are rising and so are my spirits. Wishing everyone a great day ahead!
I wasn't really expecting an awful lot, on our short trip down to North Sands the other night .Sometimes you get surprises!!!!!
This is one of the captures I came away with. A LE to create some movement in those clouds, which were tinged with pink as the sun set to the rear.
This part of the pier has been set adrift, as a central part of the pier was removed.

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....
... with a touch of blues :-)
Happy Monday!

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.'

This leopard was photographed in the Ndutu area of Tanzania with Todd Gustafson several years ago. Todd is a world class nature photographer and it was my privilege to go to Tanzania with him twice. This particular leopard was a female who took up a position on a fallen trunk of a tree, right at eye level. As we approached I kept pushing the shutter, expecting to have to stop once she showed any sign of discomfort. It never happened. We were able to stop very close to her where this image was taken. You feel like a very lucky person when something like this happens, a memory I'll never forget. It's what's special about photography. All the memories come flooding back.
Take care guys, Mike.
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.

Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse is on the westcoast of the North Sea in Rubjer, in the Jutland municipality of Hjørring in northern Denmark. It was first lit on 27 December 1900. But due to erosion and large annual movements of the sand masses, it was decided to move the tower further inland, just because it was expected that the tower would fall into the sea by 2023... But it still towers high above the Danish dunes on the west coast.

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.
She was your light, and she had your heart
The moment you saw her, she was the one
You were just a kid, and never felt the heat
First love is deep, when you don't expect it...
Picture maded with my bf! Thankyou oshi! ♥
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.

👏 ...ENJOY THE EVENT!!... 👏
I tried my luck this morning in getting the Least Bitterns that have been reported lately. It was very frustrating watching them fly by in the distant and hanging out in the reeds so far out and in the open. I waited patiently and was watching the reeds for any movement. I kept quiet from the other two photographers as I noticed the reeds parting. I snuck away and boom! This adult parted the reeds and looked around about 10ft in front of me. I just cropped the left and right side to make this portrait. Another lifer and lucky shot! :) Click image for enlarged view.
Psilocybe bohemica (Agiromycetes). Size of hat 9 mm. Size of whole mushroom 3 cm. For me this hat is an inspiration of Haute Couture, the new hat for winter 2021-22. It reminds us of the fragility and beauty of nature. I expect many people would love to have such an inspiring hat. Before wearing the hat, you have to remove the stalk at the inside.
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.
Don't expect miracles to arrive with fireworks and fanfares. They appear quietly, modestly, on Angels' wings.
I'm sure no one expected me to post a moose in my horns and antlers series. But here he is. A pretty impressive bull moose found in Roosevelt National Forest, Colorado.
Antlers are the fastest growing tissue in any mammal and can grow an inch a day. A big bull moose can grow an 80-pound rack in a summer, adding a pound of bone a day.

At an altitude of 11,000 meters in the region of Eastern Europe. Golden hour!
I think that the best experiences you get come especially when you don't expect anything.
This is Karmøy, facing towards United Kingdom and the North Sea.
This evening I brought my old mom on sunset adventures and we had a blast 😂
Precious memories 🙏
"The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails. " - William Arthur Ward
Two days before I took this image, the harbor was full of big chunks of ice floating and packed into the space between the shores. Waves were crashing and the wind was blowing all the ice onto the shore. Then on this day the ice was blown completely out of the harbor and the water was relatively calm. The winds of change can completely create a new mood for the day. Expect the change and then adjust your sails! Have a great weekend.
Have a nice weekend my friends. I don't know Nancy Pelosi will visit Taiwan or not, we sincerely expect her coming. :-)
Mount Hehuan, also called Joy Mountain, is a 3,416-metre-high (11,207 ft) mountain in Central Taiwan. The peak lies on the borders of Nantou and Hualien counties and is located within Taroko National Park. Hehuanshan is a popular destination in central Taiwan. The 3,421-metre east peak and 3,422-metre north peak of Hehuanshan are both higher than the main peak.
Mount Hehuan is part of the Central Mountain Range.
Coastal South Carolina. When we were planning our trip to coastal Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina our hopes were high for some great birding. It was not to be however. Numbers were way lower than we expected and we had challenging weather for several days. Such is the plight of nature and wildlife photographers. Can't win 'em all.
“A taste of what to expect” when the Scottish autumn is in full splendour in the Trossachs area of Scotland. The trees, like oaks, birches, and rowans will be ablaze with a fiery palette of deep reds, rustic oranges, and brilliant golds. Their branches will be adorned with these colourful leaves which will then reach toward the glassy surface of the loch below, and where the still dark waters of Loch Ard will act as a perfect mirror. A season not to be missed……….
