It is said that the American Avocet brings elegance in the bird world to a new level. This image taken in the mangroves of the Ten Thousand Islands in SW Florida highlights this.

MEXICO, Mayastätte Palenque
Palenque ist eine von Tieflanddschungel umgebene archäologische Fundstätte im mexikanischen Bundesstaat Chiapas unweit der modernen Stadt Palenque. In der archäologischen Zone von Palenque befinden sich die Ruinen einer ehemaligen Mayametropole, die seit 1987 zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe gehören. Das in der Nähe der Grabungsstätte wohnende Volk der Lacandonen wird als direkter Nachkomme der ehemaligen Bewohner des alten Palenque betrachtet. Am 30. März 2015 wurde die Gedenkstätte in das Internationale Register für Kulturgut unter Sonderschutz der Haager Konvention zum Schutz von Kulturgut bei bewaffneten Konflikten aufgenommen

There was a problem with Flickr Mobile App and this image and others kept appearing under someone else's name and the only way I could solve the issue was to remove it and post it again. I have reported it to the person involved who is a Admin of a well respected group and to the flickr team. I await their reply!

The new growth found on the ends of coniferous trees, is often a much lighter hue of green than its older sibling. Add a little highlight to that same branch and the color stands out even more.
A lovely sunrise this morning but unable to rush out due to cracked ribs after a heavy fall on the ice onto my back last Monday which has all but laid me up.
Late afternoon at Hambersham is always a dramatic spot especially in Fall as late afternoon sun highlights the trees and exhaust of a southbound coal train trying to climb Duff Mountain.
Shooting with the Fuji X I can imitate the Nikon photo very closely but chose to do what Fuji X does best: be creative. I started with an in camera processed JPEG image, Softened the highlights & shadows. then ran it through photoshop for a different look: this is the result
While Fuji will never replace Nikon, [but would like Nikon to be more like Fuji X]. It is a viable camera that is easy & fun to use and takes quality photos.
I shot this about an hour earlier than the original, so the light is a bit stronger, and had to compensate by under exposing by about 1 to 2 stops to bring highlights into about zone 6 /7. Then bring up the shadows & blacks in Lightroom.
I have given serious thought to trading in my Nikon gear for a Fuji XT4. WE will see.
Little Owl - Athene noctua
I have been photographing this local Little Owl on and off for a couple of years and an early morning visit to its favourite oak tree in June provided the opportunity for my best shots yet of the adult and, for the first time at this site, a fledgling.
These sunlit weeping cherry leaves looked even brighter against the Japanese red maple and sky in the front yard.
We're still coated with ice and now 8 inches of snow, as well. A most beautiful way to end the year. This Red Twig Dogwood entirely coated in sparkling ice.
