The really unreal blue of the Shyok river...seen to be believed. I have seen it a muddy brown in my earlier visits in summer, but it was exceptional this time.
After trying for ten years and not successful in trapping this feral tomcat, homeowners called me to help. Thanks to my trusty "drop trap" we got him this morning and he is now neutered... Hooray!

A wholesale market in Pune, where sacks of garlic fill the frame and define the rhythm of daily trade.
I've been after a shot like this all summer. My first attempt at beards tongue failed miserably as, in my haste and excitement, I used the wrong soil and fertilizer. Discarding those dying plants, I let my dear wife pick out a more suitable plant, and behold - blooms that are lasting! The next step was sitting on the deck and waiting as Auto Capture does not work with blossoms moving in the wind. This little one made the rounds and luckily I was able to catch her in just the right position. Now....... I want more!
Taken in Colorado.
Have a great and restful weekend!
My sincere thanks to all who spend the time to view, like or comment on my photos. It is much appreciated!

A re-visit from our plum stealing mule deer. Apparently he's got an itch that just won't quit and this vegetation variety offers the best relief. The eyes say it all 'Oh yes yes yes".
I visited the Canadian Raptor Conservancy (CRC) for the 3rd time last weekend and got to practice shooting birds in flight (something I have never mastered before)! Such a treat to visit these well kept raptors.
Thanks for all the faves and kind comments!
Villa Bee Fly/Banded Bee Fly (Villa sp. (family Bombyliidae)
Not the first Bee Fly I have photographed but the first of this particular sub species, and the first I have seen in our garden in the 17 years we have been here.
Have a Fab FriYay and a gret weekend everyone.
Happy Fly Day Friday!
Although what 'it' is - I am not quite sure - but he/she was catching a mixture of small fish and dragonfly larvae.
In this shot the second eyelid or nictating membrane is half retracted. Deployed during hunting (or fighting), especially with specialists such as Heron and Kingfishers, it gives a bit of protection to the eye at crucial moments - but also lets the bird still see to a certain extent.
Taken in Norfolk.
Late on a winter afternoon, a southbound Union Pacific stack train waits for a signal at the Columbia River Drawbridge. The ability to get up close and personal with Amtrak, BNSF and UP trains is a big factor in the railfan appeal of the passenger depot in Vancouver, Washington.
Got the opportunity to capture these shots of a coyote while exploring the area around Mexia, TX working on my Texas Ghosts project.
Got this capture early one summer's morning and came across this male warming up his wings and getting ready to fly off.
HAPPY JULY 4th EVERY ONE !!!!
He's back! This picture stood out when I noticed the water droplet stream coming from the heron's beak. He had some strong head motion going on there as he tried to capture breakfast.
This image made Explore July 4, 2007. Thanks everyone !

Was at Satay By The Bay looking for the common kingfisher. It showed and manage to take 4 still shoots. I was after flight shots of the Common King. Never mind another day perhaps.
Instead I managed to get two nice shoots of the Heron in flight with fish in this mouth. I am not complaining!
Thank you my friends for popping by.
I really appreciate your visits, comments & favourites.
Wishing all a beautiful week ahead
Thank you

In the trees by the Holme Observatory this Goldfinch was happily feeding on pine seeds sheltered from the winds.
Leaf Hopper (family Cicadellidae)
Three days ago I posted a Leaf Hopper image, bemoaning that I was unable to get my preferred profile shot. Today, this one held position for 2 milliseconds, rather than the usual one, so I had time to get the shot I wanted.
Faded.
Secret #24
Sometimes, I wonder how I got to be where I'm at now.
I'm a fairly humble guy, and i often sit back and wonder why me?
Ever since Jr. High, I was never really a good test taker, and that lived through to the SAT's....i took them twice and combined, only scored an 890. It is what it is, i put forth an effort both times and I just couldn't make it.
I applied to one school..California University of Pennsylvania, its part of the State School System in PA, now, I'm not sure if they just let anyone in, or if they were looking for more of a demographic from Central part of the state (its kinda like the 13th grade of Pittsburgh)
To be honest I'm not sure why I got in. But what came of it, is what makes me glad that i was accepted.
Towards the end of my freshman year, my one professor approached me. now earlier on in the day i was dickin around in class w/ a friend so i thought well i deserve whats about to come to me...i walk into his office and he asked me to be his lab assistant...Little did i know, that this professor was about to become one of my best friends. Thats when i knew i was in the right spot....when he announced who his labby was going to be almost all the professors responded with a "Who? Why? Really?"
...well little did they know but, I caught wind of this, and i was now not only out to impress myself....i wanted to prove these professors wrong, and make a somebody out of myself. From that moment on I changed i could tell, I was given an opportunity, and I knew it would take hard work.
All went well, and then as part of my Labby duties I attended the Advisory Board meeting, cause we were going through accreditation. There I met an industry leader, someone i've only dreamed of talking to, some one we talked about in Class..it was crazy i'm sitting next to this person and i some how got the courage to ask him a few questions...i was intrigued by this cutting edge technology he helped build...he was very polite, and before i knew it we were setting up a position for me at the company he worked for as an intern
...now previously i jokingly talked up this company like "Yeah I want to work there someday"
....well that day was now, i started immediately that summer and have been there since...(2 summers now)...
I've made a name for myself... and thats something i can be proud of.
now i'm starting my last semester, I'm graduating a semester early, and my journey is ending, and ...all the professors are sad to see me leave.
That was like 4-6 secrets in itself, i hope you all took the time to read this, i apologize for its length.
