I saw this flamingo on a day visit to Slimbridge back in October. The bird in the foreground seems to have taken offence with something the bird behind her said.

A Siberian stonechat looking all grumpy in the morning.

This weekend I was surrounded by dozens of small frogs in the belgian forest. I took some low DoF shots, including this one of a little guy who does not look happy to be photographed :-).

Junior seemed to speak volumes with this apparent look. Cracked me up and I can't resist sharing it with you. Hope it gives you all a smile!

While waiting for an Osprey to dive this morning (with no luck), this cormorant popped up from underneath the water to give me a look. I love the grumpy look of these water birds. Reminds me of Gonzo the muppet character.

Alfie didn't want his photo taken

An id would be appreciated :-)

... not enjoying the sunshine.

 

He/She must have been the only animal - human not enjoying the better weather!!

 

Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.

Today's quick doodle!

This is a 'face' hidden in a tiny Japanese/Chinese antique bowl. Try as I might I couldn't get it really sharp because the original hand painting has bled into the glaze/pottery, as is usual I believe?

Cypress knees are woody, conical outgrowths that grow from the roots of cypress trees in the southeastern United States

 

This Cypress Knee is 1 1/2x 1 1/2 inches....

I found this at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum years ago.... I never really looked at it like I did for this challenge, I now see a grumpy face!!!

 

My entry for Macro Mondays - Pareidolia

I found a grumpy being the other day. He think he may have been annoyed that I disturbed him as he rested in the little stream.

Like today, this day in 2017 was a wet day.

 

From the archives.

Cypress tree 'cones'. These leathery looking polyhedra, about 25mm across, open up to release their seeds to the winds.

I was along the river looking for the swans again today, but they were gone. There were still quite a few ducks there, and I met these two. I think I have to call them "Grumpy" and "Happy".

 

I guess I can identify with both of them. Dejected and sad sometimes, but then again suddenly happy for some reason. Or maybe for no reason at all.

A few weeks back a very generous soul called the secretary of our camera club and offered to the club a donation of a suitcase full of analogue camera equipment. One of the cameras included was a medium format Zenza Bronica SQ-A camera along with two lenses, an 80mm and a 200mm. As the only film shooter in the club I volunteered to go through all of the equipment and do my best to give it the once over to see what it might all be worth.

 

The Bronica is not an insubstantial camera, big and heavy and basically a Japanese version of the much better known Hasselblad 500cm. The fact that it copies the Hasselblad design in no way should be seen as detrimental to what the Bronica is capable of. It is a fine camera with a very good reputation among analogue enthusiasts. I was tasked with selling the equipment on eBay on the club’s behalf and because any older film camera is worth more if it’s been film tested I thought it my duty to take it out and shoot a few rolls of film through it. 😇

 

This then was the 2nd picture I took with it and to say I am mildly impressed is an understatement, it takes great pictures and the 80mm lens is especially good. I’m happy to report that the camera worked like clockwork and the pictures it produced are in no way inferior to what any of my more expensive Rolleiflex cameras are able to produce. I’ll be sad in a way to see it go but for a cash strapped camera club the funds it provides us may keep us just about afloat for a couple of years to come.

These birds are called Spice Finches. Spice Finch is non-migratory bird native to tropical Asia. Naturally, the question arises, what is this bird doing in California? After little research, I have learned that Spice Finch is a popular bird to have at home and is sold in many pet stores and sometimes birds escape. 😄 First spotted in the wild in the 60s in Florida, Spice Finch can now be found near lakes and rivers in Southern California. As of 2013, the non-native non-migratory Nutmeg Mannikin, also known as the Scaly-breasted Munia or the Spice Finch, has been added to the California Bird Records Committee State List. Things you learn through photography. 😄

The Painted Turtle

Challenging anyone to take its perch away!

A slight turn of the weather has delayed the nesting activities of this male mountain bluebird and its mate. Lots of snow fell overnight and throughout the morning. Other than not focusing on nest building, the bluebirds were rather stoic, perching in the open on branches, posts, and, in this case, a nest box.

My neighbor's cat does not find me or my stupid camera entertaining.
