Just west of Dekalb on malta rd was this flooded field. So because of the flooded field I got this outstanding sunset photo. After the sunset I also got this still water barn shot...
Dinner was all prepped and in the fridge (I made a 3-pound eye of round roast), so we spent Thanksgiving afternoon up along Flushing Bay, seeing the empty sights.
Enh, it's not Shea ... but I kind of DO like the architecture.
Sunrise from Round Bald, Roan Highlands.
I made it up on the mountain well before sunrise and searched around a long time trying to find a composition I was happy with, I even hiked up onto Jane Bald before the sunrise but ended up making my way back to Round Bald. I didn't see this comp until the sun came up and started lighting up the grasses, by that time I had almost let the sun get too high in the sky since I had to switch back to my wide-angle lens.
Looks better viewed large, click on the arrows in the upper right or just hit "L".

Nothing brightens up a garden like a planting of Coreopsis (aka "Tickseed"). Not sure why it's called Tickseed, as I've yet to find any ticks. Nonetheless, colorful blooms waving in the wind, some with butterflies and bees, are a great way to sit out on the patio with your morning coffee.
I just like this field, which is just over the River Tyne, from Hailes Castle. I like it's stripes and it's ridge.
It kind of looks like I am standing at the top of a field looking down, with the top of the image being the low point, but it's completely the opposite, as the low point is the lowest part of the image and it goes sharply uphill.
Hailes Castle itself, is a real treat too.
(no, not that river Tyne!)
If you've ever tried taking photos from foul territory, you know it can be extremely difficult to get shots with the batter's eyes. One solution is to shoot from beyond the center field fence at 600mm.

Oh how I love those vivid tulips! The evening that I was out here, the sky was overcast and moody. This shot is a blend of two exposures, one for the flowers, one for the sky.

TALKING TO THE DRAGONFLY
I spoke to the dragonfly
In the warm summer sunshine
It looked at me with its eyes
Telling me tale of its life
From the waters it so came
Not to return again
Only to renew some more
Then it would shortly die
With memory of beauty
Flash of rich colour and speed .

Dragonfly –one of a swarm –hunting gnats , one afternoon , on my field.
THE COMMON DARTER
(Sympetrum Striolatum) is the most common dragonfly in the UK. Found throughout the UK (And most of Europe) from June to August, usually near still waters, but also on garden ponds and sometimes away from water completely, usually in woodland glades.
Legs are very dark and have a yellow stripe, and head has a black band. Females are orangey-brown
Taken in Irbid after the rain has stopped falling. I will get another shot from the same place once the fields turn golden yellow.
Late autumn grass on dairy farms in Ireland ofter cannot be utilised by large, dariy cows. Farmers often opt to buy light lambs which will clean up the grass and put on weight as well. These 3 are busy at work harvesting grass in wet ground conditions. 70-200mm F4.0 handheld and wide open for this. Plenty of marker spray leaving them fairly colourful.
What is field of vision?... the scope of what one can see
but add memory and anticipation.. it increases magically
it is more than just a harvest.. it is a literal field of gold
frost tipped branches .. turns vision in...to a touch of cold
the silence of a photograph.. repeats the sounds we heard
or what we think we see..can change with a single word
turn to the east each morning... just as the sun does rise
know that you are capable...let your field of vision.. Visualize

Testing out my new Nikkor 70-300 on the South Downs today and spotted this riot of natural colour with the clouds rolling over the scene. The blue turned out to be pale blue poppies that I have never seen before. A beautiful sight to behold as I am sure you will agree.
I've always wanted to photograph this large amount of primroses (kusommer or kusymre in Norwegian) on a hillside close to the road along the coast of Jæren, since I first saw them some years ago. I finally climbed over the fence and did so some days ago ツ I've never seen such large amount of primroses any other place. They smell like heaven!
Here are some wood anemones (Anemone nemorosa) coming through as well.
(Kvitveis in Norwegian)

This image is a deep field of galaxies captured while Hubble was making observations of massive galaxy cluster Abell 2744 (not shown). As the Abell cluster was being photographed with Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3, the telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys stayed trained on this nearby section of sky to create a bonus, parallel deep field image. Afterward, the instrument positions flipped, with the Wide Field Camera 3 observing the parallel field and the Advanced Camera for surveys observing the cluster. These combined observations provided a wealth of information for astronomers.
In this field, Hubble resolved roughly 10,000 galaxies in visible light, most of which are randomly scattered galaxies. The blue galaxies are distant star-forming galaxies seen from up to 8 billion years ago; the handful of larger, red galaxies reside in the outskirts of the Abell 2744 cluster.
This parallel field was captured as part of Hubble's Frontier Fields project, which used the combined power of "gravitational lenses" and Hubble's ability to create long-exposure deep field images to see galaxies that would normally be far beyond the reach of telescopes.

Qingtian County is located in the middle south of Zhejiang Province and the lower reaches of Ou River, which covers a total area of 2,493 km2. The GIAHS designated village—Longxian village is a typical south village in the southeast of Fangshan Town, one of towns in Qingtian County, covering an area of 4.6 km2.
Ecological symbiosis exists in the traditional rice-fish agricultural system: fish provides fertilizer to rice, regulates micro-climatic conditions, softens the soil, disturbs the water, and eats larvae and weeds in the flooded fields; rice provides shade and food for fish.
Historically, fish has been cultivated in wet rice fields, either concurrently or rotationally with rice.
The canon for fish culture written by Fan Li (about 400 BC) states:
"... dig six mu of land into a pond … put 2000 fry into the pond …sell the rest in the market.”
In a good year with ample rainfall and moderate weather, 2000 carp fry could produce numerous eggs.
Some wise farmers may have placed excess fry in their rice fields. The fish in the rice fields may have grown better than those in the ponds, and the practice of raising fish in rice fields was born. There are no records of when the practice started, but this seems to be a logical explanation of how rice-fish farming began in China.
An early written record of rice-fish culture may be found in "Recipes for Four Seasons" which was written by Cao Cao in the Sanguo Era (200-265 AD): “a small fish with yellow scales and a red tail, grown in the rice fields of Pi County northeast of Chengdu, Sichuan Province, can be used for making sauce.”
