The Heron in the lead made the mistake of landing in a wide open area without knowing it was already the territory of the Heron in the rear, who arrived minutes later. The chase was back and forth for about 30 seconds before the first bird gave up and left. View large.

Thanks for looking !
Been on crunch mode in my RL work these past few days and i've been thinking how despite the mild complaints and all-nighters, I feel blessed to be able to do what I love. All the times i've struggled to find courage to follow this dream, and yet here I am, following the light that I knew would be there at the end of the tunnel. Still a long way to go, but I'll just keep following this light~

EXTREMELY VOCAL, and can be a proficient mimic of both animate and inanimate sounds. Love the way a starling walks with characteristic swagger, and the flight is rather undulating and the wings look pointed and triangular in outline. /// SOMETHING out of the norm. for me, but felt it had something of appeal going for it, so have risked posting it, hope you enjoy it.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP, hope you are keeping well and enjoying this hot weather, have a great weekend, stay safe and may God bless you............................Tomx.

"OUR EARS ARE CLOSED"
Sea and mountains, valleys and streams
Night and day were all in Gods dreams,
The Garden of Eden with its precious tree
The Son He gave to set us free.
The seed He placed in the heart He made
Don't let its flowers wither and fade,
Is the ear closed to His constant plea
For in truth we live to disagree.
Have we not learned a thing from the past?
Why is the blindness we have so vast ?
We've ignored His word since time began
To do as we will has been our plan.
Has the Saviour's death not opened our eyes
When His blood was shed for our demise,
Mocked and beaten, betrayed from within
God's Holy Lamb pierced for our sin.
When the reaper comes and we walk to the gate
Do we all stand in line, to wait and wait,
Or will the one who gives life lead you through
And walk with you to paradise and life anew ?

POEM by John Wren, a blessed and talented Flickr friend of mine.
I had a few variations of this shot but settled on this. I love writing words on paper. My Fountain Pen is a constant companion. I love pencils also but usually mechanical pencils with a soft 2B lead.
I have a great deal of quips, song lyrics and ideas all over the house.
Happy Macro Mondays
The old wall on Lingmoor Fell provides a great Lead-in line for the drama of the snow-capped Langdale Pikes.
One of my attempts at the "Macro Mondays" theme "Tradition".
The New Years Eve tradition of 'Bleigießen' (molibdomancy/lead-pouring), is commonly found in certain parts of Europe and some other countries, if online sources are to be believed. Small metal figurines (in shapes of good luck symbols, bottles etc.) are molten in a special spoon over a candle and then poured into a bowl of water! The shapes which are created by that are then interpreted as signs/symbols for the coming year!
In my home country of Austria it‘s not something everybody does, but it seems to be common enough for these little metal figurines to be sold in grocery stores all around! If you stop to think about it, it‘s probably not the best idea ever to add molten metal and fumes into the mix of fireworks, lack of sleep and alcohol that accompany that night, but I guess part of tradition is also not constantly questioning it 😅!

I cry my soul to sleep
Somewhere in the starless night
I yearn for safety's keep
Away from hurt outside of time
Oh wherever I run I can't hide
From the knife in the light
I close my eyes to be free
Of all the loneliness I feel
So many against me
So many seek to harm me dear
Oh protection sweeping over me
You're my hope my shield
Lead me through the darkness
Lead me through the bitter tears
Guide me to my only hope
Lead me through the shadows
Lead me through the darkness tonight
The raging waters fall
All around and drowning me
See my life in chains
Show me mercy hand me down the key
Oh you are my shield my glory
You can set me free
Lead me through the darkness
Lead me through the bitter tears
Guide me to my only hope
Lead me through the shadows
Lead me through the darkness tonight
In times of trouble you come to me
In times of danger you come to my aid
You give your all to me
When I need it most
And lead me though
You guide me through the sweet and bitter tears
Ah lead me, oh hold me
Come on and show me
Lead me on
Lead me through the darkness
Lead me through the bitter tears
Guide me to my only hope
Lead me through the shadows
Lead me through the darkness tonight
Lead me on
Lead me through the sweet and bitter tears
Lead me on
Lead me on

"What to ourselves in passion we propose,
The passion ending, doth the purpose lose.
The violence of either grief or joy
Their own enactures with themselves destroy:
Where joy most revels, grief doth most lament;
Grief joys, joy grieves, on slender accident.
This world is not for aye, not 'tis not strange
That even our loves should with our fortunes change;
For 'tis a question left us yet to prove,
Whether love lead fortune, or else fortune love.
The great man down, you mark his favorite flies;
The poor advanc'd makes friends of enemies.
And hitherto doth love on fortune tend;
For who not needs shall never lack a friend,
And who in want a hollow friend doth try,
Directly seasons him his enemy.
But, orderly to end where I begun,
Our wills and fates do so contrary run
That our devices still are overthrown;
Our thoughts are ours, their ends none of our own"
Wikipedia: The red-wattled lapwing (Vanellus indicus) is an Asian lapwing or large plover, a wader in the family Charadriidae. Like other lapwings they are ground birds that are incapable of perching. Their characteristic loud alarm calls are indicators of human or animal movements and the sounds have been variously rendered as did he do it or pity to do it leading to the colloquial name of did-he-do-it bird. Usually seen in pairs or small groups and usually not far from water they sometimes form large aggregations in the non-breeding season (winter). They nest in a ground scrape laying three to four camouflaged eggs. Adults near the nest fly around, diving at potential predators while calling noisily. The cryptically patterned chicks hatch and immediately follow their parents to feed, hiding by lying low on the ground or in the grass when threatened.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-wattled_lapwing
Conservation status: Least Concern
(Note: I was trying to get chick and parent in the same frame, but the parent tries to lead you away from the chicks as a strategy of defense. If you happen to get too close both parents will continuously dive bomb you.)
Conrail B36-7 5000 leads the eastbound from Lima into the yard at Mansfield. He is just getting off the main and entering the yard lead, while passing the classic Westinghouse Electric Co. building. Even at the time of the photo, the building was only a remnant of the structures that once stood there. I believe this corner end still stands but who knows for how long. I know I'm getting old because way back in the mid-1980's, I actually made a sales call in that complex, back when the blue sky area above the GP38-2 and cars was also industrial buildings. And East 4th street was like driving through a ally between skyscrapers.

Directly used MT17 Selenium toner decreases the saturation. After a pre-toning with Lead, the opposite happens.
Yesterday I'm gone in the field and I found in a pond a lot of tadpoles and I thought to take some to breed them and when they become a toads, I will lead them home to leave free!
Obviously, I've taken the opportunity to try some underwater shots with my MP-E... This is my first attempt to this technique.
Handheld stack (16shots) taken with 6D, MP-E, at about 2,5X, flash MK320 over the aquarium.
I think it possible to do it better but for now I hope you like it and I thank you for your visits, faves and comments that are always very appreciated!

A pencil lead consists of a part graphite and a part clay. The hardness of a pencil is determined by the composition of these components. Pencils with a lot of clay and little graphite have a higher hardness than pencils with little clay and a lot of graphite.
Pencils have codes that indicate the hardness. HB is an average office pencil. 9H is very hard (a lot of clay and little graphite) and 9B is very soft (a lot of graphite and little clay).
Pencils with a high degree of hardness are extremely suitable for very fine drawing, with thin lines such as technical drawing. The softer pencils are especially popular among artists for sketching, for example for creating shadows and dark areas.

Shot at F8, contre-jour, reflector. Every lens has its own characteristics (strengths and weaknesses, if you like). In addition, with this tele-lens one can get the lead roll in good focus and still throw the background out of focus.
Mittimatalik, known in English as Pond Inlet, is located on the northerly tip of Baffin Island in the Lancaster Sound region on the east side of Eclipse Sound.
The region has one of Canada's most inhospitable climates—with long, dark winters and temperatures averaging −30.8 °C (−23.4 °F) (December to February, meteorological reckoning). By 2021, Pond Inlet with a population of 1,555, along with Clyde River with 1,181 and Qikiqtarjuaq with 593, comprised the population of the Arctic Cordillera—about 3,300 people. Most of the people who live in the region survive by hunting, fishing, and trapping.
It is at this location, it is believed, was the last sighting of HMS Terror and HMS Erebus in 1845, of the ill fated Franklin expedition, by a party of Inuit whalers. The ships were observed transiting Eclipse Sound, shown above, into Navy Board Inlet on their search for the Northwest Passage.
This was entered in the KCPA ( Kent County Photographic Association ) and I recieved a merit award 20/20 which is a great honour , there were 33 clubs that had entered a panel of 8 images !
After a slightly late departure out of Brownville Junction, Job 1 is seen just over an hour late charging upgrade at milepost 19, passing the somewhat frozen bog there. A trio of former Canadian Pacific SD40-2Fs, all wearing the colors of their new owner, lead the way, with about fifty cars trailing behind them. A good running time and no switching means that they will arrive in Jackman around 1330, leaving plenty of time for us to chase Job 2 back east.
