Portrayed during a photo meet between photographers and models in Delft, the Netherlands.
A sprawling tree reaches upward, its budding branches forming a delicate silhouette against the heavy, swirling clouds of an Iowa spring sky. The Holga’s signature soft focus and dark vignettes lend a dreamlike quality to the scene, emphasizing the raw, atmospheric tension between the new growth and the impending rain. It is a moody, artistic capture that balances the fragility of life with the power of nature.

South Beach State Park near Newport, Oregon, USA. Shot on one of the walkways leading to the beach, the overgrown Myrtle shrubbery and beach Pines, and gloomy weather create the illusion of walking into a dark unknown. The roar of the ocean was muted in this hushed darkness. Only the cold, the damp, and the sigh of the wind could be felt.
These statues commemorate the Great Famine of the mid 19th century. During the famine approximately 1 million people died and a million more emigrated from Ireland, causing the island's population to fall by between 20% and 25%.

Contemporary art, called " Self Portrait of INNER TURMOIL", by Jacob Dahlgren, on the slopes of the ancient Iron Age burial ground at Pilane, Klövedal, Island of Tjörn, Sweden.
I immediately thought of YELLOW, performed by Coldplay, one of my favourite songs:
Polywog, the transitional stage of a tadpole when it has it's four legs and a tail.

From a welcome breath of fresh air on Saturday, when we made most of the sunny spell in between winter storms! I had spotted the carpet of snowdrops earlier during the week so was happy to return with the family and the sun just showing up behind Crediton church.
Aix sponsa translates to "waterbird in a bridal dress," referencing the male's ornate plumage.
This perching Wood Duck drake in mating plumage is a stunning display of iridescent greens, purples, and blues on its crested head, contrasted by striking red eyes, a white facial stripe, and a bold chestnut-red breast with white flecks, all set against a body with black, white, and tan patterns and a blue-green wing patch. Its bill is a bright mix of red, white, and black, and its overall appearance features sharp black and white lines separating vibrant sections of color. The background is soft and out-of-focus, featuring a lush, vibrant green canopy of large arrow arum pads, which frame the duck.

Lesser Yellowlegs during a take off - New York
As it turned out, this past shorebird season was mostly about the yellowlegs for me😁
With tricky conditions in the recent years, I try not to concentrate on searching only for rare birds at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. Don’t take me wrong, I love seeing new/rare birds but I’m not that picky anymore. Any cooperative bird gets its chance to be photographed by me, not just rarities. Call me crazy but every outing on the mudflats @jamaicabayguardian is a treat for me Yellowlegs were very cooperative this season, at times walking at below the minimal focus distance of my lens🙈Also, I tried to take more “action shots” putting my new mirrorless camera system to the test. It performed pretty well and I will be sharing the results soon. Stay tuned!
Thank you in advance for kind comments!
