Back in Fontainebleau after years away and delighted to see our favourite patisseries are still doing fine and still absolutely delicious. I'm going to gain 50kg on this trip...
First flight.
I came across tree swallows fluttering around a nest box making a lot of noise. Suddenly a young swallow launched itself from the box and flew unsteadily around the box. Four times it tried unsuccessfully to land on the box, but on its fifth attempt it made a very clumsy landing. Mom, dad and even its siblings were all very excited.
The young swallow had apparently had enough excitement so after resting for some time it somehow managed to get itself back into the nesting box.
Taken at John Heinz NWR.

Yep, I like the light in this one! And these photobombing waterbirds only add to the scene so no need to clone that Coot out either lol.

From my hometown I can clearly see the whole mountain chain of the Alps, with their foothills in front of them. Yesterday I found them whitened by the first fresh snow of the season. Winter is coming. We must prepare ourselves, my dog and I.

Ponce de Leon claimed Florida for Spain in 1513. (Christopher Columbus discovered North America in 1492 but actually landed in the Bahamas). Other Spanish explorers later found gold and silver in Mexico and Peru. The treasure was sent back to Spain in ships sailing in the Gulf Stream. Spanish settlements needed to be built in Florida to protect the Spanish Treasure fleets. King Phillip II of Spain sent Pedro Menendez to settle in Florida and drive out French garrisons recently established there. In September 1565, Pedro Menendez with 700 soldiers and colonists landed 'here' and founded St. Augustine making it the oldest continually occupied European settlement in North America ~ Saint Augustine Inlet

I was very pleased to see my first swifts of 2015,they were not my local swifts and they wouldnt come to close.But hopefully i will get better shots in the weeks to come,i will have to check to see if my local ones have returned.
Another one I've worked on for years, this one from 2016. I wanted to make the First Light the subject, not the beast. Dark dark, and then there's the light beginning to expose the beast. It is now as I envisioned, between a painting and a photograph, sort of how the Pictorialists envisioned photography. I showed this yesterday to a zoom salon group I belong to, and one distinguished photographer exclaimed, "le Fauve - it's the Wild Beast of Fauvism." I found that fun, so its subtitle may be "Homage to Fauvism" or "Homage to le Fauve" while the style doesn't have the bright colors of Fauvism, but it does have that Beast.
