Final shot as I was walking home, again not very sharp but that's to be expected given the weather today! But atmospheric (pun intended)
Expect some more stuff soon. BFVA is right around the corner so maybe some teaser stuff and what not.
Enjoy

Taken n the coldest day of 2020. I hadn't expected to see the Barn Owl up so early - a good 30 minutes before sunrise. Consequently there is a lot of noise - but I just like the atmosphere of the shot. In hindsight maybe could have reduced the shutter speed a bit further - or removed the extender - but didn't have time.
Taken in Norfolk.
Seen fairly local to me and not one i'd come across before, really cool looking late 70s 5 series, looked a but rusty around the edges but not as bad as you'd expect.
The young Mule Deer buck wanted a drink. I watched him disappear into the bushes, so I set up and waited for him to reappear... and he did, next to a beaver dam. They don't always behave as you would expect; this time I guessed right.
The beaver dam is a futile effort, as this river can run deep during spring melt - 15 feet or deeper, flooding its banks. By late summer, though, it's almost a wading pool. He drank his fill and continued to the opposite bank, disappearing into the thicket. The beavers did not note his passing, nor did the Frenchman River. That's what photographers are for.
In about six weeks I'll be out looking for the big bucks, as the annual rut will be starting. Always an exciting time, whether I guess right or not.

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.
There's a big broadleaf maple like the one in the background here behind our house. I couldn't guess its dimensions, but it is enormous. Technically it is in our neighbor's yard, but since it towers over and is much older than all of us it's more like we belong to it, a feeling I particularly experience in the fall, when it creates the most epic cleanup responsibilities. We often hear barred owls in it at night. Somehow we have never laid eyes on them, but I expect it is just a matter of time. We see all other kinds of daytime birds in it, of course. Cooper's hawks like to hunt in it and it is a popular place for racoons to spend the day before raiding our pond at night. All of the other very big trees nearby are firs, and I think the combination of evergreen and deciduous habitat, as well as the nearby greenbelt and wetlands, all play a role in the extraordinary suburban birding around here. This is from the owl family down the bicycle path. Barred owl, Olympia, WA.
Long time no see
The hot Summer days drained my creative capabilities and the motivation to spend time on Flickr.
But Autumn did awake my spirts again, so expect more from me in the next days, weeks and months.
La vita è una straordinaria avventura nell'ignoto... e spesso le cose più belle sono proprio quelle inattese, come un arcobaleno che spunta, improvviso, in mezzo al cielo

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 first saw this one a couple of years ago. Many barns in this condition can endure far longer than one might expect. It would not surprise me if this is still standing 5 years hence.
DRD - "Pizzeria" A new release and one I certainly wasn't expecting but BAM here it is. Available now only at the Food Court event thru June 21st.
All the amazing and lighter toned textures are spot on. Seating in back, rooftop, access doors a plenty and of course fun animations. I dare say I could happily live in this pizzeria and have all the comforts of home but smell like pepperoni.

Not many chase days in the month of June 2017, as this day turned out way better than expected. You never know what you might encounter on a decent moderate risk day which was mostly on the eastern side of Nebraska and Western Iowa.
These first cells were moving from the north to the south as I encountered them just to the east of Schuyler Nebraska. I didn't have to to travel to western Iowa as all the action stayed in eastern Nebraska that day. It was mostly an HP mess for most of the ride till then.
Some decent structure out in front of this cell, so you know I what I was doing!

Do make a note in your agenda: Monday 8 June, 12 pm SLT (= 21 hrs GMT+1) it's party time!
After what was expected to be an overcast day quickly turned into a lot of sun after a cloudy morning. After running to Midland in the morning, a special Lake State excursion train for the Lake State company picnic splits the signals at Mount Morris as they head down to Flint. The crew will switch ends at Flint and run back north to Saginaw on what turned out to be a perfect fall day for everyone.
Surely we've said goodbye to winter, expecting to move from a warm Spring towards summer as May arrives!
Well, not here in northern Scotland! Sadly we have had too many sub-zero nights, with snow, hail and driving rain to call it anything but winter! The garden is determinedly trying to offer fresh green buds as the apple blossom struggles to replace the pink of our Japanese plum tree. As I write this I've been out shooting a hillside shrouded in mist ... and the birds are still needing their winter rations of seed in the feeders. Even the pheasants are still sheltering in the garden. Not much summer evident yet! All our hopes now hang on the new month ushering in the true warmth of summer.
Somehow April has slipped past so quickly that it's hard to remember it ... so my collage has been a good reminder to me that actually the 30 days were full of brightness, if only through the camera lens - and snatched moments of early sunshine. So much indoors shooting ... as the weather permits little else.
Many thanks to everyone who has visited my photostream and for the comments and faves.
All my collages are collected here: At a Glance
One for the album / set... I don't expect it to be popular but it does show what Mellbreak's summit looks like, so it should be part of the album.. you can see Scotland in the distant background :-)
Mellbreak's northern summit is to the left, I sort of wished I gone across to it, I would have got a view over Loweswater. I guessed it would have been an extra couple of miles walking the wandering around taking photo's and coming back, so I gave it a miss, my knees were already complaining and I still had a reasonable walk back.. as it happened, I got some lovely light on the way back that I would have missed if I had of done that extra bit.. I'll save it for another time and do it from the other end :-)
note to self, take your tripod and macro lens...Me "i don't need that stuff, there's nothing that would require that stuff..." me later, dang, i'm cold but i should take my butt back to this place, and do it right...i drove off, warming up as i left..

I haven't been to this popular location before so I didn't really know what to expect, it was a proper winters day, cold with strong winds thankfully nice and bright though. It seemed quite a long walk from the car park I would guess at 3 miles each way, but definitely well worth the effort. I plan to go back to this location when the heather is in colour.
The Millstone Grit forms the edge of the high peat moorland plateau on the eastern side of the valley above Ladybower Reservoir, the edges being the last remains of the gritstone which originally covered all of the Peak District, most of which was scraped off by glaciers in the last ice age.
The Edge itself is notable for its unusual gritstone tors and its views of the Derwent Valley and the Dark Peak landscape; these features along with its proximity to Sheffield have made it a popular venue for walkers. Its popularity has led to substantial path erosion and the most affected parts of the edge between The Salt Cellar and Lost Lad Hillend have been paved with natural stone slabs to reduce further damage as part of the Lottery Paths Project.
Derwent Edge has several examples of unusually shaped gritstone tors that have been formed by the actions of wind, rain, and frost over many centuries. These tors have been named over the years by local residents and have now been officially titled on Ordnance Survey maps. These include the Cakes of Bread, the Coach and Horses, and the Salt Cellar. The Coach and Horses (also known as the Wheel Stones and thus named on Ordnance Survey maps) resemble a coach and horses on the horizon when viewed from the A57 road to the south. Lost Lad Hillend is worth visiting as it has a stone-built topographic indicator to aid in identifying landmarks in the extensive view.
I was not expecting to see any birds in the Oceanario de Lisboa but there were several interesting exhibits. This is an Atlantic Puffin in winter plumage, something we are unlikely to see in their normal UK breeding habits as we only see them there in full breeding plumage
Faithful Jews are expected to prayer three times a day, morning, afternoon and night.
The man praying from the Torah on the right is wearing a Tefillin. These little black boxes contain selections from the Torah.
“Tefillin are two small black boxes with black straps attached to them; Jewish men are required to place one box on their head and tie the other one on their arm each weekday morning. Tefillin are biblical in origin, and are commanded within the context of several laws outlining a Jew's relationship to God. 'And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might. Take to heart these instructions with which I charge you this day. Impress them upon your children. Recite them when you stay at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you get up. Bind them as a sign on your hand and let them serve as a frontlet between your eyes' (Deuteronomy 6:5-8).” www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/tefillin

To say I was surprised to catch a geep in the latest SOO color scheme back in 1992 would be an understatement. I was positively floored to see this pop into view at Pigs Eye yard in October 1992. A pretty cool pair with 2550 leading a really clean 382. A rescan
