All my insect pics are one shot, hand-held macros of live insects in the wild.
A shot from earlier in the year, when every night seemed to be a perfect sunset, and i was living on the beach. I do get a bit obsessive and hate to miss good skies, I should relax more, there's always another one. Grounds for divorce is a great and appropriate title by Elbow, and perhaps it would be.
A gentleman by the name of Ken Schneider was very kind allowing my friend Kenny and I to visit, see, and photograph this rare Vireo to the Eastern U.S. on the grounds of his private residence.

Many thanks to everyone for your visits, comments and faves!
Very much appreciated!
Do you like to get lost? Doing so at the close by mountain peak called Lisja Stjena ( Fox peak) back home it’s not that difficult to do. Chasing light at 1400m (4600ft) above the see level never gets dull. This particular trail brings a ton of feelings back and getting lost again in this beautiful landscapes is really exciting. What do you think?

Uncommon to locally fairly common summer migrant to Europe from winter grounds in Africa. Found in heathland, open farmland with hedges and scattered bushes, especially thorny plants on which prey (small birds, large insects, rodents) can be impaled in "larders." Hunts from perches atop bushes and on wires, but at other times is retiring and easily overlooked. Male distinctive, with blue-gray head, black mask, rusty-brown back; female has warm brown upperparts, fine dark scalloping on breast and flanks. (eBird)

So many shrikes! I had no idea that there were so many species to be found. This beauty was frequently seen sitting on posts and poles, waiting for the unwary bug to fly by.

My first time taking my camera to Stormont grounds and would love to catch the sunrising over the building some morning.
This Thorn tree is said to have sprouted from Joseph of Aramathia's staff when he drove it into the ground here. The thorn tree is said to flower on Christmas Day. I don't know whether it really does as the abbey grounds are closed then, but it does flower over the Christmas period.
Ickworth House in Suffolk is a magnificent neoclassical building with a distinctive Rotunda, near Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk.
The current house was the brainchild of the 4th Earl of Bristol, an extravagant traveller and art collector who also served as the wealthy Bishop of Derry. Inspired by classical Roman architecture like the Pantheon, he commissioned Italian architect Mario Asprucci to design an "aristocratic paradise" that would house his vast art collection.
Work began in 1795, but the Earl-Bishop died in 1803 with the house still a shell and much of his collection seized by Napoleonic troops. His son, Frederick, the 5th Earl (later 1st Marquess of Bristol), completed the building between 1821 and 1829, repurposing the East Wing as the family home and the Rotunda as a grand gallery.
The house is notable for its massive central Rotunda and curved corridors linking to symmetrical wings. The 1st Marquess also established England's earliest surviving Italianate garden on the grounds.
In 1956, the 4th Marchioness presented the house and estate to the Treasury in lieu of death duties, and it was passed to the National Trust for public enjoyment. The Hervey family continued to live in the East Wing until 1998, which has since been converted into The Ickworth Hotel.

The lands of Rouken Glen Park originally belonged to the Scottish Crown, and then to the Earl of Eglinton, presented to Hugh Montgomerie, 1st Earl of Eglinton on the marriage of his son in the year 1530 by James V.[1] It takes its name from the old Rock End Meal Mill in the glen, which dates back to the early 16th century. The remains of the meal mill can be seen at the foot of the waterfall, deep within the foliage and rhododendron bushes high on the slope away from the pathway. Amongst the park's owners were Walter Crum of Thornliebank and Archibald Cameron Corbett, M.P. for Tradeston, Glasgow (later Lord Rowallan) who gifted the estate and mansion house to the citizens of Glasgow. It was officially opened on 25 May 1906 and leased in June 1984 to the then Eastwood District Council, whose area was later included by the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 into East Renfrewshire. Rouken Glen Park is commonly referred to by the locals as 'Rookie G'.
Rouken Glen Park won the UK's Best Park as voted by YOU! 2016 Award at the Fields in Trust awards ceremony on 30 November 2016 - coming top in a public vote from 214 nominated parks across the UK.
The glen has many of the typical features of an Edwardian urban park, such as a boating pond started in 1923 by Sir Robert McAlpine to replace a former curling pond. Rouken Glen includes a large waterfall surrounded by steep woodland; the waterfall is based on a natural waterfall, doubled in height to form a reservoir to supply the printworks downstream at Thornliebank during the early 19th century. There is a walled garden in the grounds of the former manor, Birkenshaw house.
