I took this photo at Østensjøvannet, a lake in Oslo during my recent visit to Norway. It is well known for the wide variety of birds and other wildlife that can be found there. It is surrounded by the Østensjø borough. It is currently a wildlife preserve.
The baby hummingbirds are about nine days old now, and big enough that their heads come beyond the edge of the nest during feeding time. The motherbird is away from the nest for longer periods as she tried to find enough food to feed them.
You know sometimes despite being a man you feel you've just got to get into a dress. I admit my desire to wear a dress does go a bit further as I also enjoy wearing makeup, a wig, high heels and shaving my legs and chest...I rather love to pretend I'm a woman.
This is a self timer shot I took in August 2008 capturing a moment of real transvestite delight as I had seen this dress and knew I simply had to buy it and wear it. Most men do not desire this but some of us do and I simply could not resist.
Just learning to ride under a helpful eye. Seen while walking back from the beach near dusk. The background walker was too close in the best photo of the boy so she has been moved from the second photo when the boys leg was on the ground.
Have a good weekend when you get there. We are just 6 hours off it.

SSC - A Quiet Place
"That special moment when everything is quiet ( difficult at this time of year) but maybe when you’re just having 5 minutes. Or perhaps just before everyone wakes up the streets are still sleepy. Takes us with you for your interpretation of some quiet time.
Have a good week everyone"
At the moment most of my time is spent in a quiet place. My interpretation of this weeks challenge is to go to a place I am always happy. It achieves in so many ways for me, as said it's a place I am always happy, it provides sustenance, allows for creativity, can be shared with friends, and more, it relaxes me and is a place to destress, even simple tasks are therapeutic! Where am I my kitchen of course and in this case preparing breakfast which I think is possibly the most important meal of the day. I look out of my window and I see people hustling off to work, children walking to School, dog walkers with mutts of all shapes and sizes, all whilst I prepare for breakfast!!
Picture Spring - Day 5
Shooting at ground level with my camera resting in the grass is not the easiest thing to accomplish and still be happy with the result. I must have taken dozens of shots. At least the little blue flower is more or less in focus. I have mixed feelings about this kind of exercise in which I feel I have no control whatsoever. It's very touch-and-go... a rather precarious feeling!
My daughter and her boyfriend are heading to Lisbon during their reading week break. We taught her to fly, and she is flying solo (of sorts), traveling sans parents!
Shooting from Alexandra Palace, North London
Alexandra Palace is an historic entertainment venue in Alexandra Park, North London. It is located between Muswell Hill and Wood Green, in the north of the city. It was originally opened in 1873 but was rebuilt in 1875 following a destructive fire.
Downy Woodpecker, Okeeheelee Park, West Palm Beach, FL
It's been a very long time since I have seen one of these woodpeckers. And on this day I saw two as they were following each other around the tree. One was pecking away and getting the grub and then feeding it to the other. Hmm... a pesky youngster following around Mom? I don't know. I've never seen this behavior.

I just wish they would have let me get closer (or I had more glass). The shots are 100% crops almost. And I could have lowered the ISO.
It's raining too, so Pippy isn't the only one who's getting wet today!!!
It was such a beautiful sunny day yesterday!

It's taking over
There's no escape
Over your shoulder
Don't look away
Get your mind right here
For something
You ain't ever seen
You better get moving
Ready or not
'S'about to go down here it comes now
You better get moving
Ready or not
'S'about to go down here it comes now
Get ready
Oh-whoa-oh
Oh-whoa-oh-oh
Get ready
Oh-whoa-oh
Oh-whoa-oh-oh
The time is right now
No standing still
Only one choice now
Battle uphill
In the recent years many “Reception Halls” became common in the villages of Cyprus, which cater for the typical Cypriot wedding receptions of 2-3 thousand guests. (I refer to the villages!)
These photos here show one such a hall getting prepared for a wedding dinner. Thousands of plastic chairs are stacked on the tables while workers are cleaning the floor.
