An Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly pausing for a moment before it dives deeply into the Calx of a Hosta flower to gather a drop, or two, of its sweetness.
Christmas is less than a fortnight away and nature here in Ostwestfalen is like early Spring. We used Sunday afternoon for an extended hiking tour around home waters of the river Werre in the Löhne area.

I know it's not completely sharp but I stll love the place.It's shot handheld with some wind,but I still love the mood and the place.
Windmühle Bierde, Petershagen
Spring took a couple of days off but Sunday pleased with beautiful sunshine and moderate temperatures. A good occasion to continue our mill project with four windmills in the Minden area and in Petershagen. The full mill-route is 320 km long and offers 42 mills. So still some more project days ahead.

Somewhat common and seemingly abundant, this year.

Sunset and reflection captured from Barassie Beach in Ayrshire, Scotland.
The shifting sandbanks often create these slowly emptying pools as the tide goes out on the beach at Barassie. I captured this handheld at arms length with some much practiced blind aiming.
The sun setting over the Isle of Arran is one of the most beautiful benefits of living in this part of the world.
Enjoy!
A fabulous place to wander at night. Took me a while to figure out taking your camera from 20 degrees cold air con to 33 degrees outside causes constant fogging of the lens.
Being out for the morning dog walk one day last week when we had snow, I had my camera with me, but of course no tripod. But nonetheless I thought I’d try a quick panorama in order to get the whole picture, as I didn’t have a wide enough lens with me.
Doing a pano handheld obviously has limitations, but it can deliver reasonable results in the right conditions.

Saw this stunningl little Bloody-nosed beetle larvae while walking on the Coastal Path between Polperro and Lansallos, Cornwall, UK. I think it was sleeping/sunning itself, just less than long 1cm at rest, handheld, used an Olloclip macro add on lens @ 14x magnification and a Hisy remote for this shot. Gently tickled and cropped in 'Photos' on Mac.
Earlier in day we had actually seen the adult version moving slowly, plodding along the path, they are quite comical, they walk as if they have hobnail boots on that are far too big for them, lifting their legs high into the air, slowly and deliberately, one by one......just wonderful to watch!!! Only now after identification do I know what they are.....

Accipiter nisus. Wild
While the bird was still for long moments i was trying to keep ISO as low as possible and relying on the IBIS.
This one has almost red eyes. A sign of age.
Handheld with the 300/f4 in terrible light.
Mossy Throne - Recently, I had a dream encounter of a Gray Fox kit relaxing in a mossy Bigleaf Maple in the wilderness. Despite seeing several Gray Foxes over the years, I never had the opportunity to photograph kits before, let alone in a tree.
Gray Foxes fascinate me because they are the oldest extant lineage of canid (which means they branched off from other canids the longest time ago). They are not closely related to red foxes and consume more berries/vegetation than their more carnivorous distant relative. They also have several other unique adaptations and behaviors such as semi-retractile claws and tree-climbing.
It was challenging to expose the fox's eyes and avoid blowing the background - but I tried my best to do so real time. Special thanks to a good friend for making this opportunity possible.

Is it possible to make a focus stacked, bracketed shot, lying down on your belly, with your arm streched out far as possible, just above the water surface, because everything is so overgrown? Well, I guess it is actually... :)
Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!
You do me (and hopefully yourself) a big favour by pressing L and then F11, to view at maximum size.
