Just outside of Hood River - I found this field where there were hundreds of little clumps of balsamroot. The wind was blowing so strongly that it took many shots to finally get a sharp shot. I did add some post production blur and other tricks to make this softer that the normal shot. Guess I was feeling artistic.....
:-D
These are Pink-footed Geese (Anser brachyrhynchus) which breed in Iceland and Greenland, then fly to spend the winter in Britain. Britain supports about 85% of the global population each winter, and they occur mainly in four areas; East Scotland, the Solway, Lancashire and North Norfolk. The remaining global 15% are a separate population which breed in Svalbard and winter in the Low Countries. In winter they feed en masse on arable land and grassland. A favourite food is when a root crop fails through flooding and this is exactly what they are feeding on here. This is a failed potato crop and the field had thousands of geese feeding in it. The photograph was taken in lowland Lancashire. They make frequent movements between the wintering areas and I regularly see skeins flying over my house in the South Pennines as birds transit between Lancashire and Norfolk. I often hear them before I see them as they make constant contact calls, like small yapping dogs. Looking on Flickr there seem to be lots of flight shots and portrait shots, but not too many showing them en masse on the ground. The scientific name is Anser brachyrhynchus and translates as short-billed goose. On the front geese you can see their pink feet and the distinctive small, dark bills.
A hundred and seventy years ago, 200 Hunter invaders sought refuge in this windmill from British and Canadian forces in a four day siege.
In the end, as many as 50 were left behind in a common grave, 18 were executed, 60 sent to the British penal colony in Australia, 40 were acquitted and 86 were pardoned.
Their counsel was a young Kingston lawyer, Sir John A. MacDonald .... soon to be the first Canadian Prime Minister.
Some thirty years later that windmill was converted to a lighthouse.

Thank you rosey sugar for the inspiration!
Back again after an exciting trip to the Normandie.
But this is a scene you will find many places in the country side in Denmark right now.

Can you notice some details? Maybe I had been awake for too long or maybe I was just awed by the beauty of the scene because I noticed them only in post process. I've been like "WTF, how couldn't I see those when photog...". Nontheless this is what was anyway trying to shoot ;-)
View across part of the the southwestern Burren (County Clare, western Ireland) towards the 15th-century tower of Ballinalacken Castle, on a partly cloudy evening in mid-May. This view is from the West Clare coastal road along Galway Bay.
The Burren is an expanse of distinctive limestone karst landscape, which can appear very windswept and barren. While it is indeed windswept (we can attest to that point!), it is in fact home to wide variety of plants, including wildflowers characteristic of both Mediterranean and Alpine regions.
Ballinalacken -- also spelled Ballynalackan or, in Irish, Baile na Leacan -- which is located in the midst of fields and wildflower meadows on the edge of the Burren, is now the location of a hotel.
(The spellings Ballynalackan and Baile na Leacan are from the Placenames Database of Ireland, consulted 24 July 2015.)

"Lavender field" is on my photography to-do list this year, really wanted a sunrise shot, with the early morning forecast not looking too great (would have had to leave home at 4:00am!) decided to have a trip out anyway as it was my first visit so I can plan for next year!
Ok, so it's only February, but the green hills of County Armagh and the gorgeous cute little lambs racing through the fields give the indication that better weather is hopefully just around the corner :) We spent a lovely day yesterday with friends who own loads of little lambs and thankfully we had our wellies with us to tramp through the wet fields.
The verse of scripture I've used here is so true.... as we walked into the field, the farmer called the sheep and they came running towards him (a little bit wary of the lady with the camera, but still came close enough lol). It was a reminder of how we should be listening for our Shepherd's voice and when He calls we should be ready to go :)
Sorry I've been gone a while.... I've missed everyone here and I have no clue where or how to start to catch up with you all. I will do my best to get around your amazing photographs as soon as I can....
Thank you for the wonderful support and encouragement through your kind comments on my previous uploads, they mean the world to me :)
Take care everyone, and hope you've all had a great weekend so far :)

wishing you all a happy, sunny, summery, bokeh weekend!
"I'm standing here in my field of dreams,
Your love has passed me by it seems,
And the sun has hidden his face for another day.
I'm gonna take you by the hand,
And lead you through these precious lands,
And listen to the words you have to say."

Well, I had a fantastic evening checking out these opium poppies. As we arrived literally all we could say was WOW! we were speechless.... what a scene! Finally a decent crop has made a come back to the area!
I wanted to capture the wider vista and the detail all at once and I think this shot really shows you just how far this field goes on for. With a cloudless sky it can be a bit uninspiring but I decided to include the bright, golden glow from the sun setting behind this amazing crop.
Not only do I have lots of images to go through, I am sure another trip will be in order real soon! I am just in awe of this gorgeous scene.
