I was expecting this marsh harrier to just fly through Summer Leys but as it approached one of the reedbeds it suddenly turned and dove down. It came up empty handed (or taloned?), flew around a bit as if looking at what it could have had for breakfast and then continued on down the valley
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 !!!
Did you know that over 8 million tons of plastic flow into our ocean every year? By 2050 it is expected that there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish.
I've been thinking a lot about these stats recently and what I can do to raise awareness and give back - especially considering today is Earth Day.
So all sales from this weekend will be matched and donated to "Ocean Blue Project", a nonprofit committed to removing plastic from our ocean and beaches.

Trash is a mermaid tail applier HUD for RIPTIDE by Aii & Ego. It's created on the Alienwaves. RIPTIDE applier system, so if you have tails from other stores who use the same applier - no need to reinstall the scripts in your tail!
Trash is designed to look like black plastic bags wrapped around the tail, and the fins have custom materials which resemble the ever popular convenience store "THANK YOU" plastic bags.
This is my first release for this tail, I hope you enjoy it - I am excited to make more.
**Designed Exclusively for the Aii & Ego RIPTIDE Tail, you will need to buy this tail to use this product. You can purchase it from their mainstore**
While walking around 40 Acre Lake yesterday morning I heard some intense chip notes coming from the woods and decided to try to see what the source of the noise was. After several minutes of searching I finally spotted this Ovenbird walking around on the ground bobbing its tail up and down. It took a VERY long time to get an unobstructed photo but I was pretty happy that I invested the effort and time. Not exactly a bird you expect to encounter at the park in January!

Seiurus aurocapilla
In Nassau on the Island of New Providence, looking at the sunset over Paradise Island. My visist there wasn't long but I expected something different then what it turned out to be.
... expecting the next heat wave with 35+°C during the next days
and still no rain in sight ...

Pan Am BO-1 pulls cars out of the Rousselot plant in Peabody, MA. Rousselot, who specializes in the manufacturing of gelatin and collagen based products, announced the Peabody plant is scheduled to shutdown by the end of 2023; railcar shipments are expected to conclude by the end of the summer. Upon its closure, Pan Am's Peabody Branch is likely to be abandoned, marking the discontinuation of freight service over rail to the North Shore region of Massachusetts.
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.
A pleasant sun rise as people rush to work. Rain is forecast to set in at about 10:00 for the rest of the day.
Around 100 areas face flooding in the UK after heavy downpours, with further rain expected this week.
Taunton, Somerset, UK.
Of course you need binoculars to watch the whales and the seals and the surfers!
[update] How interesting, my photo got into Explore @ #481. I wasn't expecting that.

After two hours of waiting I hear a gentle rustling of dry leaves and then here she comes out of the woods.
The scene will repeat itself punctually for several evenings.
Dopo due ore di attesa sento un delicato rumore di foglie secche e poi eccola uscire dal bosco.
La scena si ripeterà per alcune sere.

The deck and the bench were cleaned off three hours ago. We are expecting another six inches of snow.
At no point this year did I expect to catch a matched pair of warbonnets on a CPKC train...nearly 30 years after the official loss of Santa Fe to the BNSF merger.
After hours of blocking moves by UP at Valley Junction in East St. Louis, Illinois, CPKC M259 is finally on the move and headed for M&O Junction. There, the crew will flip the power to put the bad-ordered leader in trail, then head north to Roodhouse, and west to Kansas City.
Had to get this cool and unusual consist once I heard about it coming down on M258 the day prior. Thanks to DL and DM and all the other birdies who kept track of this move for the greater good of mankind.
Yes, it is April but that does not mean that we are guaranteed no more snow. I remember one year we had a major storm on April 17. So I am keeping those snow tires on and the shovel in the trunk.
An impressive panoramic view after a somewhat short hike. I wasn't expecting that at all, such a nice surprise!

Back a little earlier than expected after the holidays and super excited to come back to this fabulous house from BAZAR.
I love to blend modern contemporary design with the beauty of nature. Bazars' Nora Home allows for full floor-to-ceiling views a for seamless flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces at almost every angle.
The Sleek lines and dramatic roof line create some impressive shadows. Perfect for any 'Grand Designs' wonderfully pretentious enthusiasts to match with minimalist furnishings, and a neutral color palette.
An easy to fill style with all your favourites from BAZAR itself, or Black Nest/Fourth Wall would compliment it amazingly. It's only 68 Li, perfect for a singleton or snug couple home with an open plan layout.

To be honest I wasn’t expecting so much grain, anyway I’ll probably try FP4 next time.
Beginning in February we expect to see wild mustard and greening grass turn Northern California fields, hills, and vineyards into a feast for the eyes.
Brassica – wild mustard – is not native to California, and is considered invasive. I read somewhere that it was brought here by early Franciscan missionaries – but that might just be a legend. Grape growers find it useful as ground cover which they turn under later as mulch.
For February’s Alphabet Fun: Y is for Yellow
And for “We’re Here!” where the day’s theme is Yellow Yellow Yellow Things
For inspiration and new photo ideas join the Hereios: We’re Here!
Expect some more stuff soon. BFVA is right around the corner so maybe some teaser stuff and what not.
Enjoy

My second effort to get this, the previous day the loco was not in the correct place by the time I needed to leave. On the Tuesday, the wagons to the left weren't laid up far enough back to get the ship fully in shot. Taken after some minor vegetation clearing and crouching / leaning around a steep cliff.
By Saturday, the vessel was en route to the port of Abu Qir, Egypt, sailing at a speed of 5.6 knots and expected to arrive there on Jun 27, 10:00. The vessel LAGA (IMO 9006318, MMSI 577510000) is a General Cargo Ship built in 1993 (32 years old) and currently sailing under the flag of Vanuatu.
Another bird we expect to see in our visits to Southern Arizona.
From the Cornell Lab:
"Dapper in looks and cheerful in song, the Pyrrhuloxia is a tough-as-nails songbird of baking hot deserts in the American Southwest and northern Mexico. They’re closely related to Northern Cardinals, but they are a crisp gray and red, with a longer, elegant crest and a stubby, parrotlike yellow bill. During breeding season Pyrrhuloxias are fiercely and vocally territorial, but in the winter they forget their disputes and join together in large foraging flocks."
This one was following the script, being "fiercely and vocally territorial" in Sabino Canyon Recreation Area, Arizona.

Walking in the creek bed along Santa Rosa Creek Road, I came across this scene, where water had pulled away dirt to reveal how this mighty tree's roots had enveloped large rocks over the course of years, and contoured completely around them. You are a tree hugger, and the tree is a rock hugger.
Not expecting much input re this image however when trawling through some old files I re-found this. I liked it at the time as it's such a magical part of the world.
Something I hadn't expected to see at Vrbno was Sz 711 016. These diesel-hydraulic units built in 1970 are just about clinging on so the fact that it was the second train I saw in Slovenia was a nice bonus in the early morning. It's seen here with what I believe to be R 3616 Imeno - Celje.

"Off-course they're mince pies...What did you expect I would bake this time of year....Shepherd's Pie!"
Just took this little snap of Asha in the kitchen this afternoon with my compact and thought it looked quite homely so just had to upload it to flickr and hope others like it too.
Into the Light - Day 28 - Year 2022
--------------------------------------------------
Taken through the kitchen window, which is double pane glass, so not the best for focus. We expect at least 15, possibly 18 inches of snow overnight with blizzard conditions. If so, this scene should look quite different tomorrow.
I was expecting a Sparrowhawk when the alarm calls of various woodland birds sounded in the forest and this beauty swooped in ! Luckily I had a zoom lens or it would have been a head shot at 500mm at approximate Focus Distance - 4.61 Metres
