Expecting cold rainy weather for the coming weekend, maybe even some snow. So here's some sunshine to go. :-)
I LOVE April!
With the fountains reflected in the Mittelkanal.
Built 1701-1704 by Enrico Zuccalli for the Elector of Bavaria, Maximilian II Emanuel, who expected to become emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and therefore needed a representative new residence.
Unfortunately Maximilian II Emanuel never became the emperor...

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!

Beauty is not only found in fairy tales and mythical worlds. It can be found in the most unexpected places, the least expected of times. But that's art's way of doing things. To quote Paul Klee, a German artist, "Art does not reproduce what we see; rather, it makes us see".
Same can be said for photography as an art! And to take it a little further, I'm borrowing another of his quotes that suits this exact occasion...
"The beautiful, which is perhaps inseparable from art, is not after all tied to the subject, but to the pictorial representation. In this way and in no other, does art overcome the ugly without avoiding it."
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!
Large, glossy-black bird with a wedge-shaped tail. Larger than a crow with a longer, thicker bill. Distinctive shape in flight, with rather long, swept-back wings and long tail. Note smoother, steadier wingbeats compared with faster, choppier wingbeats of crows. Extensive range throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Found in a wide variety of habitats, including desert, coniferous forest, coastlines, sagebrush, tundra, and grasslands. Often solitary or in pairs, but can gather in small groups. Typical call is a loud, guttural croak, but makes an astonishing variety of other strange noises. Compare with Chihuahuan Raven in the southwestern U.S. and Mexico, and with various large, all-dark crows and ravens in Europe and Asia. (eBird)
When we started birding in 2005, ravens were unusual enough to take special note. Now, you can expect to see one on nearly every birding outing. So interesting to see how things change over time.

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 shoveled the deck at 10:00 a.m. There was two inches of accumulation. Fifteen inches expected by tomorrow morning. East Calais, Vermont.

Wasn't expecting to find a discarded 'Freedom Trail' chair at West Kirby this morning.
I might've moved it, okay I did move it and probably not to the best place composition wise.
Anyway, I'm now the proud owner of a Go Outdoors own brand collapsible chair:)
Finders Keepers and all that.
Looks like great expectations ahead for this pair...

Canada Geese over the Exe Estuary at dawn, from Starcross, Devon, England. I wasn't expecting them, so was not quick enough to adjust the shutter speed to sharpen the beating wings!
I had not expected to see such a young one in the month of December

The photo was taken a few days ago as sunshine is rather rare again right now and Cleo mainly stays indoors. She doesn't know yet that we expect guests next weekend who may disturb her peaceful life. Charlie and Leo, my niece's cats, will stay with us for a few days.
An interesting dove named after its bright emerald green wings. This is common bird in the forests of India found much across the country from the South to the North. I had seen them several times whizzing past suddenly when we least expect it.
They are often seen in small pairs of 2-3 foraging on the ground searching for fallen fruit or other seeds. But then these birds are quite shy and prefer a quiet place rather than some place that is easily accessible. The temple area on the edge of a forest that we visit has a couple of these birds that can sighted throughout the year (depending on the luck though).
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
One of the lucky days when I could see several birds in my wish list. These old world flycatchers are not uncommon in the forests of South India. The males are quite colorful and make for good photographs. The females are also interesting and I had lots of luck photographing, sighting females before.
These birds are seen in the mid level canopy near wet forest areas where lots of flies and insects are available. The habitat is common to several flycatchers like Red Breasted, Taiga, Paradise Flycatcher, Thrush etc.. And if one is sighted, others can be expected to be sighted.
Many thanks in advance for your views and feedback.
I never expected to have to look for this medal and photograph it. This is my best award so it had to be this one and not any other coin or certificate. I didn't find it easy to make it work. AT ALL ! Everything I did looked pretty boring. But I think in black and white it looks better than in colour although the ribbon is a lovely royal blue and the edge of the medal midnight blue. I have the correct box with the smaller medal and the lapel pin but found that even harder to combine. Probably would have been too big for MM anyway.
Field daisies always bring a smile to my face. Often they pop up when you least expect to see them...but they bring a burst of sunshine to a cloudy day. Of course, there is always another way of looking at these simple little flowers. "I don't know whether this is the best of times or the worst of times, but I assure you it's the only time you've got. You can either sit on your expletive deleted or pick a daisy."
Art Buchwald
From trees, we expect that they grow up in the direction of the sky. However, some trees don’t do that, because they go their own way and grow in the opposite direction.
Isn’t it nice to see trees that go their own way?

Don't expect miracles to arrive with fireworks and fanfares. They appear quietly, modestly, on Angels' wings.
On my western March trip I lucked into four chases through Jefferson Canyon in two days, two with the the Logan local and two with this stone train that I never expected to see. Here 4311, and 265 creep slowly forward as a front end loader dumps ballast onto the conveyor leading to a long drawn out process. It is hard to see but in the distance you can see a signal mast still standing back in the curve. It would take this crew several hours to load making for a long boring wait with a well worth it quick chase to Sappington.
