Like the Mandarin Duck and very similar looking the Wood Duck has also escaped into certain areas in the UK but far less well-established. A mostly silent duck and native to North America where they live in wooded swamps and will nest in holes in trees, these ducks are one of the species of duck that are equipped with strong claws that help to grip bark and perch on branches.

si svelano le stelle.
Respiro il fresco
che mi lascia il colore del cielo.

As you can see the Kingfisher's eye is protected by a membrane (knipvlies in Dutch). Despite the membrane the Kingfisher can stil see under water.

Like North Falls further upstream, Middle North Falls has certain characteristics which one could argue give it an edge when comparing it to the park's main attraction, South Falls. Despite being considerably shorter, Middle North Falls is a markedly amorphous waterfall which changes physical shape in a very dramatic way as the volume of water in North Silver Creek changes. The 106 foot tall falls take the form of a narrow column of water during the summer months, funneled to perhaps 5 feet wide at most by a narrow runnel in the bedrock. With greater stream flow in the winter and spring months however, North Silver Creek sheets out across the 60-foot wide creek bed and turns the falls into a broad curtain of water, with part of the falls impacting on a twisting chute of basalt which then slides to join the more volumnous half of the creek in the plunge pool.
Middle North Falls is one of four waterfalls in Silver Falls State Park which features a trail which traverses behind the falling water. Unlike the other three, the trail leading behind Middle North Falls is a dead-end, constructed purely to allow access to additional views of the falls.

Another cherry blossom from last year's visit to TV Asahi Cherry Blossom Alley at the Mauerweg between Berlin and Teltow. This year's cherry blossom has only just begun because we're having a fairly cold spring (with the exception of this weekend, but the cold will return tomorrow), and in a small street around the corner that is lined with lovely cherry trees, the blossoms are only just about to fully open.
I've photographed this blossom with the GRIII. The 28mm focal length GR lens is very sharp and it's also an amazingly good close-up lens, but at f2.8 as the widest-open aperture, it can be tricky to get a nice background blur. Here, the blossom was popping out amidst many other blossoms, so the backdrop was very busy and distracting. Since I liked how the blossom itself had turned out (apart from the fact that there's a good amount of blur right at the center – Sharpen AI dealt with that in a satisfying enough way so it's pleasant to look at, I think), I had to do something about the background. I didn't simply want to blur it out in LR or even completely remove it in PS because I liked the springy-fresh colours of the background, so I created two layers in PS, one with the blossom only, the other with the complete image, and opened the latter in Analog Efex where began to play around with the Zoom filter and the Dust and Scratches filter palette. As finishing touches I added the thin image border and hit the Primary Color sliders in LR. I hope you like this candy-coloured cherry blossom slider :)
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone!

June 3rd, 1am. We are on the road, looking around for potentially good spots for some more astrophotos. In essence we are "chasing" the stars. While I was driving and the girls had their own small talk with several issues to resolve as usual, I spotted a small abandoned house on the side of the road, next to the sea. Literally next to the water with small waves breaking just in front of it. Quick stop and out to see what we got. Five minutes later we are all out there taking night photos of Hydra, the island across that beach! Seen and been there on this island several times in the past, but this time it was different. We were looking at the island and saw it like we had never seen it before! What can I say... We live in a tough world yet a magical one as well!!!
Like so much of the flora this year, the hot dry weather has advanced nature. Roses, like this one already fading.

Thank you very much for your kind comments and visit, much appreciated!
I like a lot the eyes of junior.
If you dont know that the adult is feeding him, you could think that junior is kissing mom
Zoom in please
J'aime beaucoup les yeux de junior.
Si vous ne savez pas que l'adulte le nourrit, vous pourriez penser que le junior embrasse sa maman
Zoomez s'il vous plait
