This picture of our grandson Tanner was sent to my mother in law by Tanner's mother just recently. This is the first picture I have seen of him since I last saw him almost 2 years ago.. He has grown to be such a beautiful little boy.....
Another from the meetup. This is Rachel's adorable little boy.
I know it's Wednesday, and there's no bokeh, but this is the one I wanted to upload today, so HBW anyway.
Thank you for all the comments on my b&w conversion! I use lilyblue actions/presets to do them with just minor adjustments to tailor them to the particular photo. I cannot recommend them enough!
This is the first Bullock's Oriole of the season. I was so happy to spot him a couple hundred yards from where I was. With know way of course to get closer. So I shot the photo and cropped the heck out of it. Lord willing there will be more and better photos coming up.
I just love these birds they are so beautiful and colorful with their little orange jump suits. Looks like he spotted me as well, he appears to be looking right at me? Maybe he recognizes me being the same paparazzi that drove him nuts last year?

SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS ALONE!
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus died that death for YOU and I. The good news is there no more punishment for sin left, we were and are all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

A street portrait of a man athlete who demonstrates the power of his muscle in the public park during the summer sports festival. Youth, health... what else is needed to be happy? May the happiness be with him.
When I came home,after having enjoyed one of the most beautiful mornings this year, and went to the kitchen to make me a nice cup of coffee I saw this green visitor in the back of my garden. Turns out he had two friends with him. Young ones I think
Looking out to sea.
The rain had abated and the sea's were bumpy and this man was standing beside the Tacking Point Lighthouse looking out to sea.
He was lost in a world of his own ans he seemed transfixed by the motion of the ocean.
Who could blame him as it is and it was fascinating to watch the ocean as it pounded onto the rocks below.
Tacking Point.
Port Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia.
Found him today were I find them every year at the State Game Lands #235 off Bricker Rd. Franklin County PA - 3 MAY 20 There were two of them and thinking they are a pair.
This bathing beauty is a male Costa's Hummingbird. I had a great time photographing him taking a bath at the Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden. He would stick his face in the water, dunk his head completely, then come up and shake off. He did this for almost 2 minutes. Mating season is coming up. Gotta look good for the ladies 😉I'm just gobsmacked by that purple gorget. Such a handsome bird. I put a photo of a dry Costa's in the first comment so you can see what they look like when not soggy
I have been weeks away from this man. I met him when Sheree and I were in Rhode Island. He was standing at the top of an escalator, pointing a camera at us.
I grew to love him in the period of four days. I grew to love him like a true friend.
Let me tell you a little about Brian. I tread carefully, because I don't want to betray any confidences. But Brian is utterly devoted to his wife Gina...which speaks volumes to me. It simply means that we understand each other...and the core values that rule our hearts.
Brian has undergone a (an?) horrific disease. It has cost him all senses of taste. But he can still smell and when he smells he remembers the way it used to taste and he is content with that. When he packed a lunch for Sheree and me on the train, he included a note. I never even got notes in my lunchbox from my mother.
I loved talking to him and I loved hearing what he thought about everything from the burial of Ted Kennedy to the plight of street people. Frankly, I miss him.
I think of Gina calling him to the computer, to read to him these things. I can see the room in my mind's eye. I know it well.
It makes me smile because I know as he hears them that our friendship is cemented. Brian: I think of you often. And I miss you. So there.
Here he is standing looking out at the ocean. I wonder what he is thinking.
I promised not to show his face...but I think this image shows the heart of my friend in Rhode Island.
Even after all these days, the impression he has left on my heart is as indelible as ink. I look forward to sitting quietly with you again, Brian, sipping a beer and listening to our wives talking happily together upstairs...and knowing all is well in their worlds.
He doesn't photograph stuff...but he helps those of us who do. So say hello to a hero of mine. His name is Brian.
Be well, dear friend.
A LITTLE BIT WILD ... !!! ;-)

I saw him catch it 100 yards off, next to the George Washington monument. Couldn't have asked for a better approach to the nest!
I call him Bret, and this is the sixth Black bear I have been able to identify and photograph in the last couple of weeks. I have seen others, but I couldn't recognize them. In twenty-five years of watching and observing wildlife, I have only seen one three years ago. I think the CT. DEEP may be trapping and dumping nuisance bears in my neighborhood.LOL Thank you for visiting Whistletown Wilds in southeastern Connecticut.
Every now and then you see things you never thought you would ever see.
This fellow was practicing his skills on these very uneven rocks at the edge of a cliff that fell sharply to the ocean below. It was difficult to know if he was just expressing himself or if he was attempting to impress either the people along the beach who gathered to watch him or his girlfriend who was egging him on from her position just off camera to the right. Regardless it is certainly unique expression.

Another shot of Li, the shepherd of Dongchuan.
Li is an over 80-year-old shepherd who lives in a small village in Dongchuan, a very rural area in southwestern China, about 40 kilometers southwest of the City of Kunming.
Li likes to face the passing photographer, always accompanied by his dog. Presumably lives on the tips of the photographer or of what the woman gives him, who "manages" him there in a parking lot.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

Romeo paid me a visit, early this morning when I wasn't expecting him, as always. It was a courtesy visit, not an interested one, as he didn't touch my little meat offerings :) /
Romeo m'a rendu visite, tot ce matin alors que je ne l'attendais pas, comme d'habitude !. C'etait une visite purement de courtoisie, pas du tout interessee puisqu'il n'a pas touche aux morceaux de viande - bien rouge et fraiche, pourtant - que je lui proposais :)
Enjoying the Weather POO cat sitting on the deck rail observing his surroundings, he loves outdoors and spends as much time there as he can. It makes him happy, he patrols the grounds of about 4 houses and the woods next to me, he does what he wants and my nearby neighbors treat him like there own, a spoiled rotten wannabe Ferrel cat!
This little guy lead me on a merry chase trying to get a good picture of him. I think he was actually teasing me, and purposely jumping about to keep this old man from having time to even focus on his antics? He would jump from within inches of me, then fly to one of the nearby trees and back again to the handrail on the platform. Then back to one of the trees farther away and then to the ramp I was standing on till he thought he had me good and dizzy, then he posed just for a moment long enough to allow this shot. And of course I thanked him and Jesus of course for allowing me to get this shot. They're such cute little birds, I was happy to get the shot. I hope you like it? Have a fantastic day, and God bless you all.

Have to really thank me ole mate Archie McCafferty for this image for walking ahead of me and scaring this Egret off on a flight path which favored where I was standing and watching him for quite some time, at the Hunter Valley Wetlands, NSW.
An ancient whitetail buck glimpses me through the trees. He's certainly not the biggest buck in the woods, but I've had the privilege of seeing and photographing him each November for the past few years. His antlers never got much bigger than this, but he has such a unique look and a nasty attitude that he quickly became a favorite. I wonder if he recognizes me each year as I do him. Either way, I hope he has a few more years left in him so I might see him again.
Happy New Years Eve! I look forward to 2026 and hope that it brings good things to all of you!

This Eagle on Sunday morning sat on a different branch than normal. I tried getting different angle with him and found where just his head was visible behind a bunch of sunlit green leaves.
In the biblical narrative of the Books of Samuel, David is described as a young shepherd and harpist whose heart is devoted to Yahweh, the one true God. He gains fame and becomes a hero by killing Goliath. He becomes a favorite of Saul, the first king of Israel, but is forced to go into hiding when Saul suspects David of plotting to take his throne. After Saul and his son Jonathan are killed in battle, David is anointed king by the tribe of Judah and eventually all the tribes of Israel. He conquers Jerusalem, makes it the capital of a united Israel, and brings the Ark of the Covenant to the city. He commits adultery with Bathsheba and arranges the death of her husband, Uriah the Hittite. David's son Absalom later tries to overthrow him, but David returns to Jerusalem after Absalom's death to continue his reign. David desires to build a temple to Yahweh, but is denied because of the bloodshed of his reign. He dies at age 70 and chooses Solomon, his son with Bathsheba, as his successor instead of his eldest son Adonijah. David is honored as an ideal king and the forefather of the future Hebrew Messiah in Jewish prophetic literature, and many psalms are attributed to him.

У біблійній розповіді Книг Самуїла Давид описаний як молодий пастух і арфіст, чиє серце віддане Ягве, єдиному правдивому Богу. Він отримує славу і стає героєм, убивши Голіафа. Він стає фаворитом Саула, першого царя Ізраїлю, але змушений ховатися, коли Саул підозрює Давида в змові зайняти його трон. Після того, як Саул і його син Йонатан були вбиті в битві, плем’я Юди, а згодом і всі племена Ізраїля, помазали Давида на царство. Він завойовує Єрусалим, робить його столицею об’єднаного Ізраїлю та приносить до міста Ковчег Завіту. Він вчиняє перелюб із Вірсавією та організовує смерть її чоловіка, хетта Урії. Пізніше син Давида Авесалом намагається повалити його, але після смерті Авесалома Давид повертається до Єрусалиму, щоб продовжити своє правління. Давид хоче побудувати храм Ягве, але йому відмовляють через кровопролиття під час його правління. Він помирає у віці 70 років і обирає Соломона, свого сина з Вірсавією, своїм наступником замість свого старшого сина Адонії. У єврейській пророчій літературі Давида вшановують як ідеального царя та праотця майбутнього єврейського Месії, йому приписують багато псалмів.
I saw him sitting by the fountain with his red hat and bag. He mentioned he was from Boston. He had traveled here to take pictures of the street car. It was his thing, taking pictures of streetcars all around. He never would have thought OKC would have one.

My resolution for the new year was to stop eating chocolate. I have failed miserably already. The more I try the more I want to eat it. This thing is gonna kill me.
Minha resolucao para o ano novo era parar de comer chocolate. Ja falhei miseravelmente. Quanto mais eu tento nao comer mais eu quero.
Esse vicio ira me matar.
Something a little different today :) Thank you all for asking about my health. I'm feeling pretty well today. Went to my ENT doctor and will be having some minor surgery on January 5th. Also have to have a tube put into one of my ears. SEE!! I REALLY am a kid!! LOLOL!!! Will be round to visit soon. Promised my son I would make him some "glorified brownies" Yummy stuff!

Recipe for Glorified Brownies - preheat oven to 375 degrees
1 cup chopped pecans (I don't use them cause kid doesn't like them)
1 12 oz semi sweet chocolate chips
2 cans Eagle Brand CONDENSED milk
2-3 teaspoons vanilla ( I use 3 cause I like it)
1 box, graham crackers. Take 3 of the long ones out...don't use them. Crush the graham crackers very well.
Mix all ingredients together. It will be so thick you will think you need Popeye arms.
Butter VERY WELL a 9x9 pan. Bake for about 20 - 30 mins. until golden brown and "set". They are oooey gooey good!
Eat and enjoy!! They are EXTREMELY rich!
The Galahs just got settled into breakfast this morning when Snowy arrived (Snowy 1-9 take your pick) and spotted Mummy Possum and baby in our neighbour's tree having their breakfast as well. This is just not permitted - the Galahs had already signalled and been disturbed by her presence but Snowy was not having any of it.
So Snowy dive bombed her then settled in the tree and with extra loud screeching announced in clear terms that Possy had to go! But she was totally engrossed in her McLeaves breakfast, gave him the finger so to speak and he packed up and eventually called it quits and flew off.
Quiet has now settled over the land, well, for the time being until Possy and baby decide to make their way home along the back fences.
A lion resting in the rain.As you can see: It was laying down right next to the road in the Maasai Mara, Kenya. However, from the other side one could only see his mane. But usually a pretty clear indicator when on safari...
Thought I'd update you on the latest member of my furry 4-legged family - little hammie's been with me just over a week now. I named him "Pippin" (after the hobbit in Lord of the Rings, it just suited him - he's an adventurous little thing!). I'm so pleased with how well he's settled in... I'd been told in the shop he wasn't yet tame and worried he'd be shy. However, whoever bred him handled him well (or he's just an exceptionally confident little hammie!) cause from the start he's been a happy and nosy little character... After 24hrs, I started stroking him, then a little while later, gently scooping him up in my hands]. At first, he scurried off quickly, but now he will happily sit or walk over my hands for a few minutes at a time. He's never once tried to bite or anything :)
He goes out for little adventures each evening in his ball. Of course it's hard to tell with such a tiny creature but I think he really enjoys the explorations around our downstairs. He rolls up and down the hall, the living room and the kitchen, stopping only to sniff an interesting item in his path, give his face a quick wash... or, to investigate Barney!! I'd originally planned to keep dog and hamster apart, particularly when Pippin was in his ball - as Barney is ball obsessed and also a hunter of voles when we're on walks (albeit a very ineffective one!). However as Pip likes to roll everywhere on the ground floor, it wasn't really feasible, so I've taught Barney to be very quiet and calm when Pip's rolling around.
After one quiet but firm "settle down" from me, (he looked a bit too interested on the first evening) he has been good as gold. He actually tries to keep away from Pippin but there's no escape! Pip will spy Barney from up the hall and make a beeline straight for the big dog. He will then sit right up against Barney, sniffing at his paws and fur with obvious interest. Pippin doesn't seem scared, he's happy to groom right next to either dog and doesn't freeze or try and run off... In fact, if I move him away, he often rolls straight back to Barney! Barney lies quietly, deliberately not looking at the hammie and gently moving his paws out the way from time to time. Don't like everything the "Dog Whisperer" says but to use his phrase, Barney's the model of a dog in a "calm, submissive state". Obviously, I wouldn't leave them alone though, it's nice they seem to be co-existing but I wouldn't want Pippin to get hurt...
Anyway, Pippin seems happy in his new home, the dogs have accepted him and he's being very friendly and confident. All going very well really, now, if I can just clicker train him to pose for the camera.... ;-) Haha, will try getting some nicer pics soon, maybe of the odd pair together, reminds me of Bolt and Rhino (if you've seen "Bolt", you'll know what I'm talking about!)
This very tiny Rufous Hummingbird sat atop of these stripped Hydro Wires looking curiously at what must surely seem like monsters to him. He has been there every day during this weekend and always sat on these wires. If you don't know where to look you would not see him because he is so small. He is probably just a baby as I have never seen one so tiny.
