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!
A New Attraction in NYC.....You've got to see it
**It cost 200M to build and designed by the British designer "Thomas Heatherwick", the elaborate honeycomb-like structure rises 16 stories and consists of 154 flights of stairs, 2,500 steps, and 80 landings for visitors to climb. Vessel is the main feature of the 5-acre (2.0 ha) Hudson Yards Public Square. Its final cost is expected to be $25Billon.
Attached is a video for your viewing and learning about it:

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.
** This shot was a double surprise I was not expecting the bird to fly by, the other surprise was that I managed to get it more or less in focus
The context we we were on Callum’s boat photographing seals on one of Loch Carson’s small islands . We were a small group Callum and his mate two charming young French women Lucie and Lauren and Mary an I . At one point Lucie shouted there was a Heron I looked away from the seals and took one shot not expecting anything but a blur
It was a fun trip Mary acted as translator between broad Scottish and French. Callum obviously found the young women charming and one point he sang a ballad on Gallic . We met up with the French women the following night and had a good session in the pub I introduced Lauren to Guinness which she enjoyed . One of the highlights of the Highlands was its international feel There were many Americans and French people staying in the Plockton which made it more interesting. In fact English people were thin on the ground so it felt like one was properly abroad . Mary said she spoke more French than she would have in France

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. : )
As expected, the plum trees did not bear a large crop this year; the harvest was only about one-third of last year's.
In a typical year, I would have had to climb a tall ladder and spend a long time picking the fruit. This year, however, I was able to harvest the plums simply by gathering the fully ripe ones that fell naturally to the ground.
The plums shown in the uploaded image are yellow fruits captured just before they dropped from the tree. 🍏🍏🍏🍏🍏

Ermita de San Juan de Gaztelugatxe y la Isla de Akatxa, frente a Punta Artatua
Gaztelugatxe es una roca ubicada en la localidad vizcaína de Bermeo , uno de los enclaves más espectaculares de la costa vasca que está unida a la orilla por un puente de dos arcos. Fue un lugar estratégico para la defensa de la provincia de Bizkaia allá por el siglo XII y tras perder su función defensiva, alojó en la cima una ermita consagrada al culto de San Juan Bautista.
Este enclave de increíble belleza se hizo mundialmente famoso como escenario de la serie Juego de Tronos, (Game of thrones) lo cual atrae a visitantes de todo el mundo... motivo por el que no pudimos conseguir los tickets para acceder a la ermita ( con aforo limitado desde Junio a Septiembre) anticipadamente online ni luego in situ.....en lo que yo llamo "morir de éxito".
Intentando asimilar la frustración de no poder acceder a la ermita (lo que tiraba por tierra nuestras iniciales expectativas) tomamos esta y otras fotografías desde un mirador cercano en las que también incluí el inaccesible islote de Akatxa, que forma un biotopo protegido desde la localidad de Bakio hasta el cabo Matxitxaco.

Never expected to really meet a weathermaker
so imagine my surprise when i saw this one crossing the sky!
He was high up in the dark sky, i didn't have a tripod with me and i don't have a very steady hand, but nevertheless i wanted to share this spectacular moment with you :-)
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!

“You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintery light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person died for no reason.”
― Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

I didn't expect much from the grasslands at the Carquinez Strait this morning - especially after walking out to my car and found it iced over! For a minute, I thought I was in Saskatchewan and some sort of time warp.
But I went out, and came back with a treasure trove of postable images, i.e., four. Stilts, White-crowned sparrows, a Killdeer, even a gopher, but I hate gophers especially when they see their shadows in February and invade my garden in June. There was also this one very cooperative Northern Mocking Bird.For the first set of images, he has the Strait behind him, and that wasn't bad, but when I shifted (on tip toe of course) fifty feet down the trail, he was then in front of this fruiting something-or-other tree. Couldn't pass that up. I wish I knew what album to post him in, so for the time being he's a Covid.
Be Safe and don't even think about your dream catch...
There will always be another day.
From my archives with Topaz processing. The weather these days is not too good for landscape photographers like me.
I wasn't expecting snow when I woke up but was pleasantly surprised. With everything covered in a small layer of snow but with bleak overcast clouds, I decided to go to waterfall glen to see how it looked.
The snow was falling off the branches every seconds and quickly melting off the foreground rocks so I tried to move quickly. As I look outside now, it doesn't even look like it snowed at all.
Waterfall Glen, DuPage County.
... expecting the next heat wave with 35+°C during the next days
and still no rain in sight ...

Happy Fence Friday everyone - big swell, waves and wind expected this weekend before the 'lamb' of spring comes and nuzzles us all with some soft spring sunshine on Monday. Fingers crossed I can get some shots in over the next few days - its been a few weeks since I have taken some shots.
This shot was taken a few weeks ago when the sun was rising behind Ben Bucker rocky outpost - the beach was washed up so went up to get some shots - only me and one other photographer up there - the light was eerie and very cool.
Expecting 8-14 inches of snow late tonight and into Thursday. The feeders are full! Hopefully, this will be the last big storm of the season.
Latham's Snipe (Gallinago hardwickii)
I needed to get out for a walk this morning so decided to head for Skeleton Creek. I went via the Federation Trail Bicycle Path and glad I did. This Snipe was on the western bank of the creek, as I was and I hadn't seen it until it flew across the creek to the eastern bank. Thankfully I chose to take a shot from a great distance (this image has been very heavily cropped) before moving upstream hoping to get a better angle and closer shot. I got the one shot before it flew into the long grass a bit behind where it is here. But at last I have a shot of a Latham's Snipe on the ground - having been trying for years to achieve this result at the Heathdale Glen Orden Wetlands and failing. I have not seen Snipe along Skeleton Creek before. They arrive from Japan (where they breed during the northern hemisphere Spring/Summer) during our Spring and return during our Autumn.
Now one wouldn't expect Walter P. Chrysler's wife Della to drive to the Club or to the polo match by herself, now would we? Of course not. That's what common people would do even if they were members of the Club, which, obviously, would be impossible. And, for those occasions, why not get chauffeured to your destinations, and do so in the style that you so much deserve and have earned! And when you said "I do" you then moved up to that grand status and position. And, I might add, what better way would it be to do that then in a one-off custom bodied Imperial by LeBaron? (well, maybe in a Bugatti Type 41 Royale, but that changes the story completely!)
And from that day forth, her finely manicured hands never touched a steering wheel again!
And now the rest of the story penned by Angelo Van Bogart:
With Chrysler as her last name — Mrs. Walter P. Chrysler, to be exact — Della Chrysler’s automotive choices weren’t as limited as one might expect.
Certainly, Mrs. Chrysler drove a Chrysler automobile, but in 1937, she chose not to be carried in one of the dizzying number of production sedans and limousines in the Custom Imperial Eight or Royal Six line. Nor did Mrs. Chrysler order one of the semi-custom Derham town cars also carried in the 1937 Chrysler catalog. Instead, Mrs. Chrysler had a one-of-a-kind town car built on a Custom Imperial chassis of an art deco form that rivaled the wildest town cars built on Duesenberg and Rolls-Royce chassis.
The teardrop-shaped town car body on her 1937 Custom Imperial built by coachbuilder LeBaron dripped elegance and was perfectly mated to the new streamlined styling of the 1937 Chrysler line. The bulbous aluminum LeBaron passenger compartment was painted black and mimicked the production Chrysler pontoon front fenders. The period-perfect Chrysler streamlining began at the “ship’s prow” front-end, which was striped with horizontal grille bars and matching chrome speed lines along the hood sides. The horizontal theme was picked up by LeBaron with speed lines behind the rear door at the sail panel and with horizontally ribbed aluminum trim that circled the body from the back of one front fender to the rear of the opposite front fender. The subtle trim piece literally brought the whole car together — production chassis and front-end styling with unique town car coachwork — as it streaked from the front fender, across the running boards and unique rear fender skirts, around the back of the car and all the way to the rear of the opposite front fender.
Inside, this special town car continued the art deco theme, from the production three-spoke steering wheel with ribbed bars and elegant gauges to the unique console built into the division window. Carpet as thick as a mink coat covered the floor, and seats as plush as the softest bed cradled rear seat passengers.
his slice of wheeled heaven wasn’t available to everyone, but was made available to those such as Mrs. Walter P. Chrysler, who could afford the craftsmanship of a hand-built LeBaron body fitted with the utmost of luxury by that Detroit concern. At the time, LeBaron was not yet absorbed by the Chrysler Corp., which later relegated the LeBaron name to a model. Rather, at this time, it was an independent subsidiary of the Briggs Body Co. that built bodies for Packard, Lincoln, Duesenberg and Pierce-Arrow, among others.
Mrs. Chrysler’s 1937 town car was not the first LeBaron-built body for Chrysler family, but it was probably the last. Just five years earlier, LeBaron had built a pair of custom 1932 Imperials for the Walter P. Chrysler family: a unique close-coupled sedan for Walter P. and a speedster for his son, Walter P. Chrysler Jr. Shortly after the 1937 LeBaron town car was built, in May 1938, Walter P. suffered a stroke. In August of that year, Della Chrysler passed away. Walter P. followed her to eternal rest two years later, in 1940.
Sometime after Della Chrysler passed away, her 1937 LeBaron town car passed on to her daughter, Bernice Chrysler Garbisch. Her initials “BCG” were added with cast letters to each rear door. However, neither she or her chauffeur drove the car much and today the odometer has registered just 25,501 miles. Very few of those were added after the car left Garbisch’s garage and went into the collection of Long Island car collector Harry Gilbert in the 1950s.

We expect a species with the name Western Bluebird will be colourful, and it doesn’t disappoint. This male has the additional highlight of an area of bright chestnut plumage. This individual was seen in the White Lake Grasslands Protected Area near Okanagan Falls in southcentral British Columbia, Canada — a great spot to sight the species.

While at the Red Rock Canyon NCA in Vegas, it was fun to restrict myself to the tele focal length. I often dread not having access to my wide-angle or standard lenses, and when I have to make a choice would always leave my tele lens. But more and more, I am trying to force myself to be more uncomfortable, and this viewpoint outside of Red Rock canyon was a perfect place to do so. If it didn’t workout, I could always walk back to the car and grab my other gear.
While it started as an experiment, I enjoyed the experience quite a bit. The tele focal length allowed me to isolate the rock formations in the distance and provided some fascinating images. From the viewpoint, the mountain in the distance looked like one giant wall. But as I zoomed in, I started to see the layers in them and why the park has the word canyon in its name. This spot where bright red canyon walls gave way to the pale yellow rocks in the distance was one of the details I wouldn’t have been able to capture with a standard or a wide lens. Now I think I have to go back to some of my favorite places where I never took advantage of my telephoto lenses.
