THE GRAY SQUIRREL IS A VERY FAMILLAR ANIMAL IN THE U.K DESPITE NOT BEING NATIVE.IT WAS INTRODUCED FROM NORTH AMERICA DURING THE LATE 19TH CENTURY AND SINCE THEN HAS DISPLACED THE NATIVE RED SQUIRREL ACROSS MOST ENGLAND AND WALES
The gray treefrog tadpoles have a red tail - which is visible around midday but not in the morning or evening light.
This gull was wandering in the brush near the sidewalk not far from the cave store in La Jolla. He was not bothered by my presence.

Still in random mode. I came across this shot searching for something to post this morning. It's a Gray-collared Becard photographed in Resaca de la Palma State Park, Texas. Not a great shot but it deserves a post on Flickr because there had never been a recorded sighting of this species in Texas until November, 2023. It was still hanging around in February, 2024 when I took this shot.
There were still a lot of excited birders that day.
The Gray-collared Becard is typically found in Central America.

Still patiently waiting for these owls to show up along the winter roads this winter.

I'm finding less and less separation these days between the parts of my brain that handle image capture and the ones devoted to image processing. These brain parts were once very distinct and didn't mix well. But I've come to conclude that thinking is inherently self limiting. The creativity need not end the moment the shutter is pressed. Sometimes the image is 85 or 90 percent there in that 125th of a second the shutter might be open. Other times the percentage is way less. Quite often I come home with parts of good image spread across several hundred frames. I'll scroll through and think, wow, I love that part of this photo, but not that. More often I'll discover things I didn't notice at the time and decide to play them up in processing. Or sometimes I'll just feel completely different about an image than I did when the scene was unfolding before me. Such was the case here, a brilliant autumn day, resplendent with richly saturated color. That really all I could see at the time. It's funny how sometimes color totally props up a marginal photo; other times it actually interferes. This one fell into the latter column. I was taken with the tonal values and the illumination effect of autumn leaves reflecting bright sunlight. Gives a sort of infrared quality that I love. It's ethereal, otherworldly, and ties in wonderfully with a feeling that often have in old cemeteries. The sky tones and textured effect of the clouds ties it all together in a way that was lost in full color. People sometimes see me out with the camera on a day like this and ask if I'm getting any 'pretty' pictures. Always makes me smile. The answer is always yes, but the prettiness is definitely in the eye of the beholder.
On a day in Grand Teton National Park, the clouds and fog obscured any view of the mountains. So, shoot abstracts in B+W. www.davidrecht.net
