Storm Front
Billy Joel
Safe at harbor, everything is easy
Off to starboard, daylight comes up fast
Now I'm restless for the open water
Red flags are flying from the Coast Guard mast
They told me to stay, I heard all the information
I motored away and steered straight ahead
Though the weatherman said
There's a storm front coming (mood indigo)
White water running and the pressure is low
Storm front coming (mood indigo)
Small craft warning on the radio
Went down to shoot Ulladulla Harbour one morning last week.
Spent about 45 minutes shooting away on the tripod with the remote trigger. Thought I was finished, packed everything away, looked over my shoulder and saw this forming.
Ripped the backpack off, grabbed the camera, with no time for filters or tripod, clicked it into bracket mode, and shot off 6 frames bracketed, handheld.
Boom!!!
Hope you like “Storm Front”
Cheers, Mike

And this guy certainly checked out our intentions...we stopped at a pull out to grab a few things when we noticed this coyote walking down the middle of the road, coming directly towards us. Of course, I positioned myself for a few shots, and he apparently decided I was no threat, as he continued towards us, paused for a second, and then continued on right past us...gotta love a cooperative subject :-)
Back from Christmas festivities...had a wonderful visit with all of our family members...sure hope everyone else had a joyous holiday. Will catch up with everyone soon...have a great Tuesday!!!!!
Out and about and seeing what folk are doing to their houses for this festive period. This one really stood out to me, made me wonder what the inside looks like ;0)

an all too brief weekend with the love of my life and it's back to blackpool with jump!
Heliodoxa leadbeateri
At an altitude range of 1300 - 2000 metres, these smart hummers are reasonably common on the East slope....
Or is it the back row set? Either way, the back door of the end Superliner sleeper on the Cal Zephyr is one of the best places to see the country zoom past you in reverse. Our westward caravan passes this BNSF oil train hanging out on the center track between the Naperville and Route 59 stations on a memorable late September day in 2014. One block down on our track, a Metra commuter train bound for Aurora tags along behind.

Trascorriamo la vita sperando in un domani diverso che non verrà mai.
Accumuliamo denaro e case nella speranza che un giorno queste ricchezze
ci serviranno per vivere meglio, lasciamo passare il tempo
con la convinzione che tutto ciò diventi verità.
Ma la verità è nel nostro presente e non ci accorgiamo degli attimi che da soli
valgono un'intera esistenza per il loro significato.
~ Romano Battaglia da Il fiume della vita ~
Standen (National Trust) ... when I was here last week, the garland around the roof was up, but not the wreaths on the doors.
I am not sure if this is the front or the back of the building, but to me it looks like the front: The famous Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao on a sunny evening.

NOTE: As I opened my front door, this cutie was standing just a few feet in front of me. Nice way to start the day!

Sure, we drove a long way from Melbourne to Lake Cargelligo without photographing much at all, however all was not lost - we did spend some time with some White-fronted Chats at the sewerage ponds!
There is an open section of the ponds that has plenty of these saltbush, a favourite habitat of Chat species. And while we were hoping we might see the more elusive Crimson Chats, at least we saw one species of Chat, even if it is quite common!
Having said that, the evening light was magic & this is actually the first decent photo I have of a male White-fronted Chat. There were a couple of pairs that were very busy collecting insects (I suspect they were raising young in the saltbush). The birds would often perch on the top of the saltbush & pose for a few seconds before darting off to the next spot. This particular birds was quite the gatherer - check out the beak full of bugs!
Bridlington Sea Front, an old photo, I was looking through some old folders and spotted this I think it was taken before I joined Flickr. It brought back happy memories.
The IUCN originally in 1988 assessed the ochre-fronted antpitta as Near Threatened, then in 2000 as Endangered, and since 2022 as Vulnerable. It is known from only two sites within a small overall range and its estimated population of between 1000 and 2500 mature individuals is believed to be decreasing.
Our group consisted of four people, and I was the only one fortunate enough to capture some shots of this species.

Thank you all for showing people that Brussels can be more colorful than one would ever imagine...
Special thanks to my Flickr friend Felix

for copying and sending me a good quality screenshot of the Explore Front Page with my photo.
Felix, you are just great!

Actually, I wanted to take a portrait of Candor dozing in front of the cactus that can be seen in the background.
But the moment I had my camera ready, he decided to jump at me, believing it's playtime. So this is what I got... it's not technically perfect, but I feel it really shows his joy and enthusiasm ;-)
