No matter where I have lived, I have always gravitated to the birds of prey ... the raptors. To me, there's something fascinating about their beaks, their wings, the look of concentration and determination, but mainly their talons. When a raptor flies over me, especially when they bank and show off their underside, or topside, of their body, it's so cool. Red-tailed hawks are the most variable of all of the buteos, depending on where they are found and also their color morphs. Of course, don't forget how their feather patterns change as they molt. It really makes a challenge for species specific ID.
I could raptor all day long and be happy ... we get all sorts of raptors visiting us throughout the winter and some visit during the summer.
This red-tailed hawk flew over me at a relatively close range (though this image is most likely cropped some for balance). The extended wingspan was amazing to view, with every feather serving a purpose. Love these raptors.
Happy Monday!

Fascinating concertina extension service cables for one side of a moveable pair of buildings (on tracks) that services airplane wings. The top one for compressed air is broken, while the bottom one for electricity is intact.

Candid eye contact street photography from Barnsley, England. Carrying a box of human hair extensions, it looks to me like she is the 'wig shop' store owner from up the alleyway. Enjoy!

Eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Wishing all of my Flickr friends a fantastic weekend of photography ahead - stay safe!
Here we see a Route 215 pass it's usual terminus (a Route 379 is just entering the stand), and head the few hundred meters outside London into Essex for the seasonal extension to Lea Valley Campsite. The back of the Essex boundary sign can just be seen on the far left.
It's a rotten journey on foot as the pavements end, and it is a set of bends with ditches and little room for walking on a very busy road.
Captured a Bush Cricket (Katydid in the US) in the garden. I would be grateful if anyone could ID this particular one. It was perched on a leaf of a Garden Croton (Codiaeum Variegatum) and that is the reason for such a colourful bokeh. Clicked with the Movo EXT-C25 AF Extension Tube (25mm) attached to the EF 300mm F/4L.
Garden Crotons are attractive, low maintenance plants and are valued for their striking foliage. There are several hundred cultivars, selected and bred for their foliage. Depending on the cultivar, the leaves may be ovate to linear, entire to deeply lobed or crinkled, and variegated with green, white, purple, orange, yellow, red or pink. The colour patterns may follow the veins, the margins or be in blotches on the leaf. I have 20 varieties of these growing in my garden, 40 odd plants in all.
Los ánsares comunes por lo general se emparejan de por vida, pero si pierden a su pareja lo reemplazarán por otro. Dependiendo de la ubicación la época de cría empieza entre mediados de marzo y finales de abril. El lugar de nidificación preferido de los gansos grises son los lagos con amplias extensiones de cañaverales alrededor y prados adyacentes, que utilizan para alimentarse, aunque también pueden desplazarse lejos para pastar. Los ánsares comunes también pueden criar en los pantanos, marismas, en las islas fluviales boscosas, ríos de corriente lenta y llanuras de inundación. Suelen reproducirse en colonias poco densas con gran distancia entre nidos.
This picture was taken in Dayton, Ohio at Wegeryn Gardens with my 180mm manual focus lens + 20mm Extension tube. Better view in Light box. Click on image for 100% detail on pedals and organs.
As always thank you for your lovely comments.
Focus stacked. Short telephoto lens with an extension tube to shorten the minimum focus distance and simulate a macro lens.
A Praia dos Careanos limita a sul a Praia do Vau, sendo parte da costa que precede a Praia da Rocha e que é formado pelas praias de Careanos, Amado e Três Castelos, proporcionando uma extensão de mais de 1 kilómetro de areal.
Esta linha de praias exibe-se como uma linha continua de falésias altas onde se alternam tons avermelhados e ocres com rochas mais claras com abundancia de fósseis marinhos.
Para chegar ao areal de Careanos tem que se descer por uma escada que parece desembocar no que resta de uma gruta. No areal existem numerosas grutas e entradas rochosas, sobre tudo na parte ocidental onde há uma enorme gruta e uma rocha com um arco natural que lembra uma pequena fortaleza.

La Playa dos Careanos limita al sur con Playa do Vau, formando parte del tramo de costa que precede a la Playa da Rocha (Praia da Rocha) y que está formado por las playas de Careanos, Amado y Três Castelos, proporcionando una extensión de más de 1 kilómetro de arenal.
Esta línea de playas se exhibe como una línea continua de altos acantilados donde se alternas tonos rojizos y ocres con rocas más claras con abundancia de fósiles marinos.
Para llegar hasta el arenal de Careanos hay que descender por una empinada escalera que parece desembocar en lo que queda de una gruta. En el arenal se suceden numerosas cuevas y entrantes rocosos, sobre todo en la parte occidental, donde hay una enorme gruta y una roca con un arco natural que recuerda una pequeña fortaleza.

Praia dos Careanos Beach limits South with the Praia do Vau Beach, being part of the coast which precedes the Rocha Beach (Praia da Rocha). This stretch is constituted by the beaches of Careanos, Amado and Três Castelos, conforming a sandy area of more than 1 kilometre.
This stretch of beaches looks like a continuous line of high cliffs where red and ochre tones are alternated with lighter colours, an abundance of maritime fossils.
To arrive to the Careanos sandy are, you have to go through a steep ladder which seems to end in the remainings of a cave. In the sandy zone, caves and rocky entrances succeed one another, especially in the occidental part, where there are an enormous cave and a rock with a natural arch, which remains a little fortress.

Looking forward to the completion of the Tate Modern Extension by Herzog & de Meuron. Hopefully I'll have a full-frame camera by then to capture it in it's full glory!
