"Don't expect me to repeat everything that has already been said this year.
I don't look to the past, I exist for the future!
My name is Hope!
I know ... There are times when you almost lose me, but whenever that happens, we end up together again.
Hope does not exist without you, and you cannot exist without it.
Believe in 2021! Believe!"
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!

I really did not expect to find this in the centre of Athens, but in the neighbourhood of Anafiotika on the slopes of Acropolis, you are transferred to a cosy little island. Only a backgrund with an azure sea is missing.

The tulips are rising and so are my spirits. Wishing everyone a great day ahead!
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.

I went to the Sandhill Crane Festival in Fairbanks, Alaska and was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting four days of rain but we had two nice afternoons of some sunshine otherwise it would have been disappointing for photograhy! One of the rainy evenings I was thrilled to see hundreds if not more than a thousand cranes arrive to Creamer's Field in Fairbanks. Here I've captured two cranes coming in to one of the fields to eat and rest for a bit on their migration south.

Happy Monday!

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.
We are expecting possibly 40cm of snow! I'm so excited!! I wonder if our visitors from the artic feel the same way? Snowy Owl
Looks like great expectations ahead for this pair...

We’ve had about 15 cm by the time this photo was taken; some areas, ours included, is expecting another 15-20 cm. We’ll see. The snow is not bad by itself: it is the wind that is driving one’s wits away. I’m glad the hearts are warm either way. Have a warm day!
Is the snow ever going to end. Expecting here in St. Albert up to another 10cm. on top of the other 10 from the other day😩😩

For Looking Close... on Friday!'s #whiteandred theme
(Wow; I really wasn't expecting it to be so difficult to get a proper red... But although the background I used was undeniably red, the colour of this image seemed to keep changing from shades of orange to shades of pink or purple. But I think I got there in the end 😀)

Two days ago I was photographing in this spot, with frosty leaves underfoot.....this morning what a joy!
Some sun beams find the way through the overcast sky at Koh Samui, Thailand! Maybe a tropical storm will be coming soon. The Thai fishermen have moored their boats at the shallow low tide shore.

I expect there may be many images of snail shells for this theme, so decided to give my snails a rest this week and photograph my cycad house plant that has just put up a few new leaves - all the tiny 'leaflets' have coiled ends when they first appear that will straighten as the leaf grows. On this particular leaf, one of the little leaflets has grown a bit ahead of the others and shown off the lovely details of its coiled end.
For Macro Mondays theme 'Spiral'.
The image was done as a 5-shot focus stack at f3.5, focusing on the tight coil which was 1cm across.
This picture is the peak point of a lesson I once gave to a gorgeous, very talented gal 😋 teaching her to shoot dogs in a natural way.
The goal was to sharpen her eye for the „right moment“; so I was „shooting“, but she had to tell me the precise moment for pushing the trigger 😎
She learned a lot and proudly presented „her commanded work“ in a contest later ... using her name, not mine 😋
Don't ask me about women ... and please no words about „vanity“.

Dieses Bild ist der „peak point“ einer Lektion, die ich mal einem großartigen, sehr talentierten Mädel gab, als ich ihr beibrachte, Hunde auf möglichst natürliche Weise zu photographieren; ich lege hohen Wert auf die kultivierte Schreibweise mit „ph“ 😎
Mit „f“ betätigkeitworte 😂 — das Schöne an der Deutschen Sprache ist ihre Unkaputtmachbarkeit — ich gedankenverlorenes „Knipsen“.
Ziel unserer gemeinsamen Übung war es, ihr Auge für den „richtigen Moment" zu schärfen; ich „schoss“ also das Bild, aber sie musste, neben mir hockend, den richtigen Moment für das Drücken des Auslösers ansagen 😋
Auf diese Weise lernte sie eine Menge über „photographische Psychologie“ im weiteren Sinne.
Sie präsentierte später stolz „ihr befohlenes Werk" in einem Wettbewerb ... unter ihrem Namen, nicht dem meinen 😋
Man befrage mich nicht über Frauen ... und — bitte! — kein Wort über „Eitelkeiten“.

I tried my luck this morning in getting the Least Bitterns that have been reported lately. It was very frustrating watching them fly by in the distant and hanging out in the reeds so far out and in the open. I waited patiently and was watching the reeds for any movement. I kept quiet from the other two photographers as I noticed the reeds parting. I snuck away and boom! This adult parted the reeds and looked around about 10ft in front of me. I just cropped the left and right side to make this portrait. Another lifer and lucky shot! :) Click image for enlarged view.
Great crested Grebe's are are great fisher birds., but neither of us expected to see this!
The fish was big! very big!
And our beautiful Grebe didn't quite know what to do about it!
He swam around for a few moments with his prize trophy., attempted to put it in his mouth a couple of times., the fish having that 'this isn't going to work., put me back' look on its face
Eventually the Grebe conceded., dropped the fish., and off they both went
This really was a fish to far!

My first venture onto the hills this morning to photograph moorland birds, and I came away with this shot of a Jenny Wren. I'd actually gone to see Stonechats and Wheatears as I'd noticed them on a few walks around the area. I was just going to get an idea of perches and take some pictures for future reference. However, I didn't expect this little fellow to jump on the rusty wire right next to me. I quickly swung my camera round and managed to get a quick capture before it dived back into a nook in the drystone wall.
River Coln, Bibury, Gloucestershire, England.
I went to England to see scenes like this, I wasn't disappointed, I saw them a couple of times a day. Just a great country.
Terrific.
Cheers.
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.
At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. - Abraham Lincoln, 1838
Croome .. Expect the unexpected. Incredible innovation, devastating loss, remarkable survival and magnificent restoration. All in one place
I'm sure no one expected me to post a moose in my horns and antlers series. But here he is. A pretty impressive bull moose found in Roosevelt National Forest, Colorado.
Antlers are the fastest growing tissue in any mammal and can grow an inch a day. A big bull moose can grow an 80-pound rack in a summer, adding a pound of bone a day.
