ENDEARING AND UNMISTAKABLE seabird, seen on Skomer Island. South Wales. Where you can see hundreds of them, what a joy. BUT THIS MAY SEEM A LOT, BUT IT REPRESENTS A FRACTION OF THE NUMBERS THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN PRESENT A CENTURY OR SO AGO. Reasons for the decline include overfishing and pollution of the marine environment.

AS well as Skomer, other spectacular spots are those on Hermaness and Noss, both on Shetland, and the best time to visit a colony is in late June and July, when birds like above will be returning to the nest with beaks full of sandeels.

THANK YOU, FOR YOUR VISIT, please leave a comment, will return the visit to see your lastest posting and also comment.

ENJOY the weekend, Hot and wet in Kent today, please stay safe, God bless you............................Tomx

 

Sant’Elia is a small fraction of the municipality of Santa Flavia, in the province of Palermo.

 

The inhabited center, founded around the seventeenth century, located largely on a promontory overlooking the sea, was initially born as a fishing village dependent on an ancient trap.

Sant’Elia è una piccola frazione del comune di Santa Flavia, in provincia di Palermo.

 

Il centro abitato, fondato intorno al XVII secolo, dislocato in gran parte su un promontorio che si affaccia direttamente sul mare, e’ nato inizialmente come borgo marinaro alle dipendenze di un antica tonnara.

   

This is but a fraction of this massive double waterfall. The whole thing in frame is a kind of an awkward composition from the viewpoint at the end of the trail. I like this one and another one I'll post in a while much better.

Borgo Parrini is a small fraction of the municipality of Partinico, in the province of Palermo, characterized by colorful houses decorated in full Gaudì style.

  

Today very few people live there who, however, in the last ten years have decided to give the village a new life. A local entrepreneur had the intuition to make it an unusual place and started a renovation of the houses in the style of the Catalan artist Gaudì.

The facades of the houses are colored with bright colors and writings, the walls have mosaic decorations and colorful tiles and the small village has become a very popular place for travellers.

Borgo Parrini è una piccola frazione del comune di Partinico, nella provincia di Palermo, caratterizzato da casette colorate e decorate in pieno stile Gaudì.

  

Oggi vi abitano pochissime persone che, tuttavia, negli ultimi dieci anni, hanno deciso di dare al borgo una nuova vita. Un imprenditore locale ha avuto l’intuizione di renderlo un luogo insolito e ha avviato una ristrutturazione delle case secondo lo stile dell’artista catalano Gaudì.

Le facciate delle case sono colorate con tinte vivaci e scritte, i muri recano decorazioni a mosaico e piastrelle variopinte e il piccolo borgo è diventato un luogo molto visitato dai viaggiatori.

Borgo Parrini is a small fraction of the municipality of Partinico, in the province of Palermo, characterized by colorful houses decorated in full Gaudì style.

 

The name derives from the fact that the fields around Partinico were bought by the Jesuit fathers in the 1500s. The name parrini, in fact, in Sicilian means priests.

 

So it was an area managed by the religious consisting of a small country church and a convent around which, later, the village arose with lodgings for the settlers and agricultural labourers.

 

In 1767, then, this village became the property of the French prince Henri d'Orleans who set up a farm for the production of a wine that soon became much appreciated and sought after. After the Second World War many of the inhabitants preferred to move to the city and the village remained almost uninhabited and therefore began its inevitable decline.

 

Today very few people live there who, however, in the last ten years have decided to give the village a new life. A local entrepreneur had the intuition to make it an unusual place and started a renovation of the houses in the style of the Catalan artist Gaudì.

Thank you for visiting and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

A fraction late locking on to this pair so not as sharp as I would have liked, but still nice to see the two together....taken @ Kidwelly Quay

Picture Lake in Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest Park. Luckily it wasn't too crowded and we could set up nicely with a magnificient view. With luck we were able to shoot some of the meteors as they lit up for a fraction of a second across the night sky. This photo has two in view just above the mountain. Squint and you'll see them!

This is just a fraction of the number of King Penguins that were at this location. There are really no words to describe the feeling of being among thousands of penguins that show absolutely no fear of people. It was quite a humbling experience. Now I say that I should have taken more pictures but sometimes you just have look and take it all in. We were told that there were more than 250,000 penguins at some locations. This is the summer season in the Southern Ocean and they come here only to nest, then return north to warmer waters during the winter. Taken at Gold Harbour, South Georgia.

 

Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.

> Dans un extraordinaire **jardin d’été luxuriant**, sous une ancienne **arche de pierre couverte de roses et de feuillages**, un magnifique **chat roux à poils longs** bondit horizontalement dans les airs avec une énergie joyeuse et spontanée. Son mouvement semble avoir été saisi à l’instant décisif par un photographe animalier, suspendu pendant une fraction de seconde entre impulsion et réception.

>

> Le chat possède une **anatomie féline extrêmement crédible** : colonne vertébrale naturellement étendue par le saut, épaules et bassin correctement articulés, muscles subtilement visibles sous le pelage, pattes avant projetées vers l’avant avec souplesse, pattes arrière suivant naturellement l’impulsion et centre de gravité physiquement cohérent. Préserver une sensation spectaculaire de vol sans rigidité ni pose artificielle.

>

> Son visage est expressif, attentif et curieux, avec un museau félin naturel, truffe finement texturée, paupières crédibles et **yeux dorés lumineux mais parfaitement naturels**. Les vibrisses sont individualisées, de longueurs et orientations légèrement différentes, avec une implantation anatomiquement plausible.

>

> Le **pelage roux long et abondant** constitue l’une des grandes signatures visuelles de l’image : véritable sous-poil dense, mèches regroupées de tailles différentes, poils de longueurs et épaisseurs variables, quelques poils isolés sur les contours et variations naturelles selon les différentes parties du corps. Le pelage suit réellement les volumes anatomiques et réagit au déplacement d’air provoqué par le bond.

>

> Préserver impérativement **la longueur et le volume généreux du pelage**, ainsi que la spectaculaire **queue rousse très volumineuse**, dressée et légèrement incurvée vers le haut. La queue agit comme un magnifique contrepoids dynamique, avec sous-poil dense, mèches irrégulières et lumière dorée accrochant uniquement certaines extrémités. Aucun effet de fourrure artificiellement peignée, filamenteuse ou uniformément séparée.

>

> À gauche et légèrement au-dessus du chat vole un petit **oiseau bleu et orange**, parfaitement intégré à la narration. L’oiseau conserve une distance suffisante pour que la scène évoque la curiosité et le jeu plutôt qu’une attaque agressive.

>

> L’oiseau doit présenter une **anatomie ornithologique photographiquement crédible** : proportions naturelles entre tête, poitrine, ailes et queue, bec fin, petites pattes anatomiquement cohérentes, articulation fonctionnelle des ailes, rémiges primaires et secondaires correctement organisées et plumes présentant longueurs, orientations et chevauchements variables.

>

> Ses ailes sont saisies en plein battement, avec une très légère déformation aérodynamique des extrémités et un subtil flou de mouvement uniquement sur les parties les plus rapides. Préserver sa magnifique coloration **bleu profond, bleu azur et poitrine orange chaude**, riche mais naturelle.

>

> Le regard du chat et la trajectoire de l’oiseau créent une relation narrative immédiate et joyeuse. Préserver la lecture visuelle : **oiseau → regard du chat → bond → chemin fleuri → paysage lointain**.

>

> L’ancienne **arche de pierre** encadre naturellement toute la scène. Pierre vieillie crédible, microfissures, irrégularités minérales, porosité, petites traces du temps et végétation grimpante intégrée dans les joints. L’arche doit rester élégante et romantique, jamais ruinée ou excessivement dégradée.

>

> Autour des animaux s’étend un jardin extraordinairement fleuri composé de **roses roses, fleurs violettes élancées, marguerites blanches, petites fleurs roses, rouges et corail**, herbes fines et feuillages verts.

>

> Les fleurs présentent une **botanique naturaliste extrêmement poussée** : tailles, orientations et stades d’ouverture différents, pétales légèrement asymétriques, quelques imperfections presque imperceptibles, fleurs partiellement cachées, espacements et densités irréguliers. Aucun clonage floral, aucune répétition géométrique et aucune distribution artificiellement parfaite.

>

> Les feuillages possèdent différentes nuances de vert, nervures fines, feuilles de tailles et orientations variables, ramifications organiques et réactions crédibles au vent et au soleil. Certaines feuilles sont traversées par le contre-jour et deviennent subtilement translucides.

>

> Un **petit chemin naturel** traverse le jardin et conduit progressivement le regard vers une vaste vallée estivale composée de collines verdoyantes, arbres, reliefs successifs et montagnes légèrement brumeuses à l’horizon.

>

> La profondeur atmosphérique doit être photographiquement crédible : premier plan floral riche et détaillé, chat et oiseau parfaitement définis, jardin intermédiaire progressivement plus doux, collines moins contrastées puis montagnes légèrement absorbées par la brume.

>

> La scène est éclairée par une magnifique **Golden Hour estivale**, chaude, lumineuse et naturelle. Le soleil traverse partiellement l’arche et les feuillages, créant des rayons irréguliers et une lumière sélective. Certaines mèches du chat sont bordées d’or, quelques plumes de l’oiseau captent la lumière, certains pétales deviennent translucides et le chemin reçoit de petites zones lumineuses irrégulières.

>

> Préserver des ombres suffisamment neutres et profondes afin d’éviter une dominante orange uniforme. La lumière doit respecter physiquement chaque matière : diffusion douce dans le pelage, translucidité des pétales et feuilles, microreflets dans les yeux, pierre principalement mate et profondeur atmosphérique progressive.

>

> **Palette estivale riche et naturelle** : roux chaleureux du chat, bleu et orange de l’oiseau, roses tendres et soutenus, violets, blancs, verts profonds et tendres, lumière dorée et nuances légèrement bleutées dans les plans lointains. Aucun excès de saturation uniforme.

> In an extraordinary **lush summer garden**, beneath an ancient **stone arch covered with roses and foliage**, a magnificent **long-haired ginger cat** leaps horizontally through the air with joyful, spontaneous energy. Its movement appears captured at the decisive instant by a wildlife photographer, suspended for a fraction of a second between takeoff and landing.

>

> The cat has **extremely credible feline anatomy**: a spine naturally extended by the leap, correctly articulated shoulders and pelvis, muscles subtly visible beneath the fur, front paws naturally projected forward, hind legs following the momentum of the jump, and a physically coherent center of gravity. Preserve the spectacular sensation of flight without stiffness or artificial posing.

>

> Its face is expressive, attentive, and curious, with a natural feline muzzle, finely textured nose, credible eyelids, and **luminous yet perfectly natural golden eyes**. The whiskers are individually defined, with slightly different lengths and orientations and anatomically plausible implantation.

>

> The **long, abundant ginger coat** is one of the image’s major visual signatures: genuine dense undercoat, naturally grouped locks of different sizes, hairs of varying lengths and thicknesses, a few isolated fine hairs along the silhouette, and natural variations across different areas of the body. The fur must follow the anatomical volumes and react physically to the airflow generated by the leap.

>

> Imperatively preserve **the generous length and volume of the fur**, as well as the spectacular **very full ginger tail**, raised and gently curved upward. The tail acts as a magnificent dynamic counterweight, with dense undercoat, irregular locks, and golden light catching only selected tips. No artificially groomed, stringy, or uniformly separated fur.

>

> To the left and slightly above the cat flies a small **blue-and-orange bird**, perfectly integrated into the narrative. The bird maintains enough distance for the scene to evoke curiosity and playfulness rather than an aggressive attack.

>

> The bird must display **photographically credible ornithological anatomy**: natural proportions between head, chest, wings, and tail, a fine beak, anatomically coherent small legs, functional wing articulation, correctly organized primary and secondary flight feathers, and plumage with varied lengths, orientations, and natural overlaps.

>

> Its wings are captured mid-beat, with very subtle aerodynamic deformation at the feather tips and slight motion blur only on the fastest-moving areas. Preserve its magnificent **deep blue, azure blue, and warm orange breast coloration**, rich yet natural.

>

> The cat’s gaze and the bird’s trajectory create an immediate and joyful narrative relationship. Preserve the visual flow: **bird → cat’s gaze → leap → flower-lined path → distant landscape**.

>

> The ancient **stone arch** naturally frames the entire scene. Credibly weathered stone, micro-cracks, irregular mineral textures, porosity, subtle traces of age, and climbing vegetation naturally integrated into the joints. The arch must remain elegant and romantic, never ruined or excessively deteriorated.

>

> Surrounding the animals is an extraordinarily abundant garden filled with **pink roses, tall violet flowers, white daisies, small pink, red, and coral blossoms**, fine grasses, and lush green foliage.

>

> The flowers display **extremely advanced botanical naturalism**: different sizes, orientations, and stages of blooming, subtly asymmetrical petals, almost imperceptible organic imperfections, partially hidden flowers, and irregular spacing and density. No cloned flowers, geometric repetition, or artificially perfect distribution.

>

> The foliage contains different shades of green, fine visible veins, leaves of varying sizes and orientations, organic branching, and credible reactions to wind and sunlight. Some leaves are crossed by backlight and become subtly translucent.

>

> A **small natural path** crosses the garden and gradually leads the eye toward a vast summer valley composed of rolling green hills, trees, successive layers of terrain, and slightly misty mountains on the horizon.

>

> Atmospheric depth must remain photographically credible: richly detailed flowers in the foreground, perfectly defined cat and bird, progressively softer midground garden, lower-contrast hills, and distant mountains gently absorbed by atmospheric haze.

>

> The scene is illuminated by a magnificent **summer Golden Hour**, warm, luminous, and natural. Sunlight partially passes through the arch and foliage, producing irregular rays and selective illumination. Certain strands of the cat’s fur are edged with gold, selected feathers of the bird catch the light, some petals become translucent, and the path receives irregular patches of warm illumination.

>

> Preserve sufficiently neutral and deep shadows to prevent a uniform orange cast. Light must physically respect every material: soft diffusion through the fur, translucency through petals and leaves, micro-reflections in the eyes, predominantly matte stone, and progressively softer atmospheric illumination toward the distant hills.

>

> **Rich yet natural summer color palette**: warm ginger fur, blue and orange bird plumage, delicate and saturated pinks, violets, whites, deep and tender greens, golden sunlight, and subtly cooler bluish tones in the distant landscape. No excessive uniform saturation.

Red Admiral Butterfly: -

 

The Red Admiral is a frequent visitor to gardens throughout the British Isles and one of our most well-known butterflies. This butterfly is unmistakable, with the velvety black wings intersected by striking red bands.

This butterfly is primarily a migrant to our shores, although sightings of individuals and immature stages in the first few months of the year, especially in the south of England, mean that this butterfly is now considered resident. This resident population is considered to only be a small fraction of the population seen in the British Isles, which gets topped up every year with migrants arriving in May and June that originate in central Europe. Unfortunately, most individuals are unable to survive our winter, especially in the cooler regions of the British Isles.

The number of adults seen in any one year is therefore dependent on the number of migrants reaching the British Isles and numbers fluctuate as a result. In some years this butterfly can be widespread and common, in others rather local and scarce. This is a widespread species and can be found anywhere in the British Isles, including Orkney and Shetland.

Weekend Theme (Week 11) Fraction

a fraction of second later, I wiped out and the Brave cameraman was knocked silly when we ran into each other! :)

In everyday life there are fractions of time where Eyes stare and mind is full or thoughts. Time goes by and moments Flow in the torrent of thoughts.

L’église romane du XIIème siècle, a été reconstruite en grande partie aux XIX et XX ème siècles, sur les restes d’une abbatiale ruinée. L’édifice est particulièrement remarquable par l’élévation de la nef et l’intégration des techniques gothiques dans un style roman. C’est une église fortifiée, protégée par une enceinte de remparts. Elle est classée monument historique depuis 1965.

 

Un grand merci pour vos favoris, commentaires et encouragements toujours très appréciés.

 

Many thanks for your much appreciated favorites and comments.

A very receptive state of mind... not unlike a sheet of film itself, seemingly inert, yet so sensitive that a fraction of a second's exposure conceives a life in it.

[Minor White]

 

“There is a creative fraction of a second

when you are taking a picture.

Your eye must see a composition or an expression

that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition

when to click the camera.

That is the moment the photographer is creative.

Oop! The Moment!

Once you miss it, it is gone forever.”

– Henri Cartier-Bresson
