Now at the stage of maturation expecting colors and flavors to be expressed. The road for the wine is open.
"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.
“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……….
Did you expect anything different?! It was always going to be bike cogs, problem was I’d left it til yesterday and it was the most miserable of days, so needed the phones light as well as a flash, I’m sure I could have done a better effort but various other factors meant that this was the best I could muster.
Thanks for stopping HMM
Expect a life with surprising what should be , in daytime , what actually look like night .. you woke up in the morning at 6:00 A M it will be dark outside and will stay at least 8 AM .. in the afternoon you will be surprise to see night return by about 3 PM....

While one expects a further blast or two, we are in transition to spring, so this photo is my Goodbye to Winter. The next month or two is not prime shooting time, but we have archives when needed.

Je suis triste ce soir ....
Notre Amie Gaëtane est décédée le 25 avril 2022 d'un cancer généralisé.
Je savais qu'elle était très malade et que son opération en septembre 2021 n'avait pas donné les résultats escomptés et vu son âge avancé elle n'a pas souhaité recevoir des traitements par chimiothérapie. Elle m'a encore écrit le 14 mars dernier concernant l'administration de ses nombreux groupes et je pensais qu'elle aurait encore un peu de temps mais non ....
Je l'avais rencontrée lors de sa venue en Europe elle avait visité la Suisse et Lausanne ma ville en 2013, elle était avec sa nièce Josée.
Sa passion c'était la photo et de rencontrer des gens, elle était pleine de vitalité pour un tout petit bout de femme.
Nous ne t'oublierons pas Gaëtane, que ton repos soit doux.
Toutes mes condoléances à sa famille.
Les fleurs sont des Anémones pour elle.

I'm sad tonight........
Our friend Gaëtane died on April 25, 2022 from generalized cancer.
I knew that she was very ill and that her operation in September 2021 had not given the expected results and given her advanced age she did not wish to receive chemotherapy treatments. She wrote to me again on March 14th regarding the administration of her many groups and I thought she would still have some time but no....
I had met her when she came to Europe, she had visited Switzerland and my city of Lausanne in 2013, she was with her niece Josée.
Her passion was photography and meeting people, she was full of vitality for a tiny bit of a woman.
We will not forget you Gaëtane, may your rest be sweet.
My condolences to his family.
The flowers are Anemones for her.

De retour dans l'eau après des mois d'eau froide et de houle... et, je dois l'avouer, de paresse de ma part.
La soirée d'hier dans le bassin qui se trouve près de chez moi a été exceptionnelle avec au moins 15 espèces de nudibranches dont quelques-une que je n'avais pas vu de puis des années. Donc je suis désolé mais il va falloir vous attendre à voir pas mal de photos de nudibranches dans les prochains jours.
*****************************************************************************
Back in the water after months of cold waters and swell... and of laziness on my part, I have to admit.
Last night in the rockpool next to my house was exceptional with at least 15 species of nudibranchs, some of which I hadn't seen for years. So I'm sorry but you can expect more photos of nudibranchs in the near future.
Yesterday afternoon I headed out with the camera down to a small stretch of the River Plym near Shaugh Prior looking for waterfalls. I didn't really have a plan, I just went out for a bimble and having walked around this area a couple of times before it was nice to explore properly.
The early part of the afternoon was quite cloudy which was perfect as it meant no harsh shadows and blown highlights in the water, all I had to do was find a decent composition and get my shot. I found a few spots I liked so expect one or two more shots from here.
The area around here is full of granite boulders, covered in moss and other such foliage and it's still looking very green at the minute, So I'm really looking forward to the Autumn colours kicking in!

Sometimes you meet someone you never expected to meet. This was one of these days when Paddington noticed A Fish. Not where it should be- in pond or river - but on the window sill.
Paddington: "Good morning, Miss! Nice to meet you! What you are doing here?"
Fish just opened and closed her mouth.
Frīda: " I dont think she speaks any English!"
Paddington: "I think somebody forgot to return her back to water."
Paddington: "Matilda, why you are hiding behind Frīda! Come closer, say hello to the lady"
Matilda: "I can say it from here too! I believe she is too big to become my friend!"
Frīda: " Too big! You have not seen big fish! Once Ilona took me to Deep Sea World in Scotland...Oh, you must see this, Matilda!"
Paddington: " We need to act fast and get poor Fish back to it's place!"
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday!
This wasn't what I expected to see at before 6am in the morning. I wouldn't have believed this had I not witnessed it with my own eyes. It took a while for my brain to register what was happening and then a bit longer to get the camera set up for the fact this took place under a dark bush. I could see this Rufous-collared Sparrow wrestling with something large but initially I couldn't make out what. Then I realised it was some sort of Hawk Moth. Having plucked the Moth from the plant the Sparrow kept jumpiing forward and pecking viciously at the moth and then retreating and then repeating the exercise. Then it took the moth and hit it against the floor several times clearly trying to finish it off. It did eventually kill it, then rolled it up a bit and consumed it little by little. I was still in shock when I went to breakfast.
Me, taking a picture of the sunrise from Ponta das Contendas on the island of Terceira in the Azores, Portugal. I am holding Juca's camera while he is taking my picture with mine. I had a great time on my day long photo tour with Juca. Expect for a lunch break at the Santa Caterina Restaurant in Praia da Vitória, we took photos fro Sunrise to Sunset. Make sure to schedule a tour with him at Azores Explorations if you should ever go to the Terceida.
I expected to be just photographing this rose but the unexpected happened. This insect flew into view and stayed for just a few seconds. I think the insect might be a wasp but I'm not sure.
Cambodia, Tonle Sap Lake
Stubbornly bent on water fishermen believe in simple and meritorious work. Isolated in the mists of the lake, they see the pale waves come and go. In their boat nothing moves. Fishermen expect the gold fish.
I did not expect to get out with the camera today as it was grey and overcast but at about 4pm the sun started to breakthrough so I decided to head over to Bosham, West Sussex again and arranged to meet my Flickr pals Andy & Paul to shoot the sunset.
The conditions were good with very little wind and some clouds in the sky so we decided to shoot from the quay & slipway and experienced some decent colour in the sky reflecting on the harbour well after the sun had dropped below the horizon!
1.3 second exposure using a Lee 0.9 ND grad filter.
Thanks for any comments you may wish to leave.
When I bike out to the woodlands on the border with Germany I invariably go by way of Het Zwart Water in the nature reserve of Limburgs Landschap www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/51709014434/in/photoli...). Always wonderful in whatever season or weather. Given the drought I'd expected to see even less water. Usually the spit on the right is underwater. Whatever the case, those geese seemed to be enjoying their watery habitat.

I saw her fly into the tree and then I saw the nest. She had brought spiderwebs in to add to the nest, and then she sat in it for a short time before taking off again. I don't know if she already has eggs, or if the nest building is in process. It looks complete to me, lol! : )
Update: When we visited 8/13 she was feeding! We couldn't see any nestlings, the nest is high. We'll be checking on them when we return tomorrow. : )
Update: Visited on 8/26 and there are two nestlings. Mom was not seen. : )
Last update: The nest was empty on 9/1. : )
It took a lot longer than expected to get to my hotel close to Zilina, Slovakia. The road was narrow, full of curves and rather busy. I did enjoy, though, and I enjoyed the warm dish and the spacious room at the hotel even more. The next day, I had planned a day on the non-electrified railway lines around Horna Stubna, hoping to see some of the 754-series locomotives in action. And who knows, maybe even a "Bardotka" with a freight train.
Not knowing what to expect, I just went to the station of Klastor Pod Znievom where I was lucky enough to catch 754 020 hauling a train to Horna Stubna. A very good start of the day!

You already knew basil was so tasty, but did you expect it to be so sexy at the camera? Neither did I. But the plant made it great at light testing, so it got the job. Well deserved.

Tímida y encantadora albahaca.
Ya sabías que la albahaca estaba deliciosa, ¿pero esperabas que además fuera fotogénica y sexy? Yo tampoco. Pero consiguió hacer una gran prueba de luces y consiguió el trabajo de modelo. Bien merecido.

We expected to find a Peregrine Falcon in this particular tree, but when we got there, we found this Merlin, instead.
(Platysteira peltata) B28I7979 Shawu - Shishangeni - Kruger South-East - South Africa
Uncommon bird and localised resident.
I was not expecting this species in Kruger because its area is Mozambique and East Zimbabwe. I was totally astonished, but i realised that Shawu camp is very close to Mozambique border. Before this unexpected meeting, i only saw Black-throated Wattle-eye in Uganda.
Not really expecting to find Coastal Black Bears in North Carolina we were surprised when we saw 21 in one morning. Our first morning was thick fog, making viewing anything difficult. So we were thrilled when this one came close enough we could see it through the fog.
In Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge is there is no stopping. You can't stop enjoy the bear and wait for the perfect moment when he turns his head or poses the way you would hope. I understand it is for the bear safety. But, it makes for frustrating moments as one has to use a higher shutter speed and pray you get something sharp as you bump across a dirt road. Still an amazing place and I would go again.
Sneak peek: 'Sensuality', the new exhibition @ Nitroglobus,
expected very soon.
More info to follow soooon.

For this unedited picture, I was trying to capture, in the raindrops, the Calibrachoa flowers behind the dripping wet Schlumbergera. The Magenta coloured blooms are showing in the bokeh but, once again, I wasn't expecting the blue recycling crate to show so prominently in the raindrops :))
The fountains are turned on at awkward times, like when you least expect it. It's great to walk around watching the bigger fountains except when the smaller one's turn on before your ready.
Lần đầu rửa, film bị hỏng :(
Dù cuộn film đó không phải của mình chụp, nhưng bản thân lại mang cảm giác lo sợ ..
Hi vọng thước film đầu sẽ không có chuyện gì xảy ra
Dù có cũng mong là ít :d

This photo is dedicated to Andrea. I admire and adore her work. Her photography is creative and expressive – always with elements of surprise and provoke the senses. Every night I just wait and hope that she will post a new photo for me to enjoy and get inspired.
She’s a wonderful and gorgeous young lady. I'm so lucky to discover another rising star!
Go check her out!
Exists in the true meaning of life is to cultivate trees, under whose shade you do not expect to pose and provide shades even to him who cuts off its boughs.
For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver.
Therefore Trees are poetry that the earth corresponds under beneath the sky!
I just loved the way of my 8mm fisheye lens produced this fine capture, of this splendour tree branching out over the Edgbaston Reservoir!
Many thanks for your wonderful appreciation of comments and compliments to you here, my dear good friends !!!
I had not expected that limestone could be so hard and solid. This image shows a section of Cheddar Gorge in Somerset. The rocks are made up of various formations of carboniferous limestone, so around 350 to 300 million years old, whereas meltwater floods in the warm periods of the Ice Ages (in the last one million years or so) cut the gorge into the rock. At the lower end of the gorge there are several caves, one of them was inhabited about 10 000 years ago by "Cheddar Man" - you may remember, the one with the brown skin and the blue/green eyes and with very good connections to the rest of Europe. When he and his people were alive, you could walk to what is now France, Belgium and the Netherlands. The Channel developed later.
