Fallen tree... Withlacoochee State Forest, Citrus County, Fl
("Bread and butter" is a superstitious blessing or charm, typically said by young couples or friends walking together when they are forced to separate by an obstacle, such as a pole or another person. By saying the phrase, the bad luck of letting something come between them is thought to be averted.)
Looking back on Manhattan from the Brooklyn side of the iconic bridge makes you feel sentimental, especially when you're back home again and another visit is far away...
Another photo from Praia da Oura - pretty much the same viewpoint as yesterday's upload but the camera almost touching the water. Unfortunately the tide was too high to explore the countless little boulders and sea stacks lining that end of the beach but who can complain when the weather is nice and warm!
A trio of CSX trains are tied down at 'Forks', just outside of Buffalo, New York on a damp November evening.

A few weeks ago my father almost died due to a sudden illness and he was being treated in a hospital for several days. We were beside him all that time, and hoped for the best. Gladly he survived.
I took this photo on my way home.
The foremast and jib of the Andalucia stand proud against the sky in Cardiff, south Wales.
The Andalucia is a full scale, ocean-going replica of a 17th century Spanish galleon. Completed in 2009, it is 55 metres long and has 6 decks.
It is one of 3 historic replica ships owned by the Nao Foundation Victoria, a Spanish not for profit organisation which aims to promote tourism and education through voyages for volunteers and visits to ports such as Cardiff.
A juvenile Green Heron displays its characteristic patience, perched elegantly on a single leg. Captured with a shallow depth of field, the bird stands in sharp relief against a soft, lush background of blurred green foliage, creating a beautiful bokeh effect that emphasizes its velvet-green back and rich chestnut neck as well as its developing crown feathers.
I am grateful for your continued support and appreciate every view, fave, and comment!
A vibrant, wide-angle bottom-up shot of an almond tree (Prunus dulcis) heavily laden with young, unripe green fruits and fuzzy hulls enclosing developing almonds.
The low-angle perspective looking up into the canopy creates a dynamic, immersive feel. The main branches act as natural leading lines that guide the eye upward.
The branches are heavily clustered with immature green almonds, often classified botanically as drupes. They display their characteristic fuzzy, leathery outer hulls.
A bright, direct sunlight streams from the upper left, creating a natural backlighting effect that makes the green foliage translucent. Soft, velvety green hulls that split open as they mature. Leaves are long, narrow, finely serrated, and bright green. Cluster-heavy branches reaching toward the sun.
This photograph features strong compositional energy and color contrast.
The vibrant contrast between the bright green leaves, the pale hulls, and the vivid blue sky gives the image a fresh, lively atmosphere. The warm tones of the brick wall in the background complement the cool sky well.
The deep depth of field keeps almost the entire tree in focus showcasing the abundance of the harvest. A deep focus ensures both the immediate foreground clusters and higher branches remain crisp and sharp.
During this spring phase, the entire pod is soft, and the interior contains a gelatinous, translucent kernel. In many Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cultures, these young fruits are harvested early and eaten whole, fuzzy outer hull and all, often dipped in a bit of salt for a crisp, tart, and grassy snack.
If left on the tree until late summer, the soft green outer hull will dry out, turn brown, and split open. This reveals the hard woody shell inside that protects the crunchy almond nut we typically eat.

With 2000' of continuous welded rail (CWR) in tow, a pair of venerable SD40-2 workhorses put on a nice show as they charge up the grade at Milton, Ontario. Days that start like this tend to be good ones...
Close-up or an adult Black Skimmer skimming - Nickerson Beach, New York
Fascinated by their look and behavior, I kept searching for a perfect spot to photograph Black Skimmers. This is what originally brought me to Nickerson Beach some time ago. (Actually, I need to check when exactly was my very first visit there 🤔. One thing for sure, there was barely any information online on that spot back then and Twitter was at its infancy🙈).
Despite large colonies of breeding skimmers there, skimming shots aren’t that easy to come by. In my Location Updates, I will be sharing tips on how I get shots like this, what to look for, how to plan your visit with these shots in mind etc. For a limited time, I’m offering these updates at the discounted price: www.greggard.com/location-updates/nickerson-beach-ny-updates

The first shot with my newly acquired vintage manual lens. My poor eyes had more trouble with the manual focus than they did when I first borrowed an analogue slr nearly thirty years ago but that background blur is very satisfying.

Blue waves softly breaking against the shore, creating an abstract pattern of bubbles and wavy lines.
Thank you all, my dear friends.
Salvando la licencia creativa personal de haber añadido esa luna (También capturada por mi) en la composición. Esta imagen de la emblemática Torre de Comares la tomé a pulso en contrapicado desde la Carrera del Darro, como las condiciones de luz eran las que se ven. Ibamos un grupo de amigos con igual pasión por la fotografía paseando y ya que me quería llevar este encuadre...puse un Iso alto de 6400 con diafragma abierto de f/4.5, tuve que contener la respiración para afianzar la cámara con la velocidad de 1/25sg y con un zoom de 92mm...El resultado es el que se ve, logicamente, no es una captura nocturna perfecta (Al no usar el tripode con un iso bajo) pero para mi tiene el sabor de lo espontaneo...La luna real del momento estaba sobre el escenario de La Alhambra, pero un poco más arriba, más a la izquierda y casi envuelta entre nubes y no me entraba en este encuadre...Así que editando la imagen de la torre, se me ocurrió añadirla de cosecha propia...Que me perdonen los puristas de la fotografía, pero a mi me encanta como se ve el conjunto de torre y Luna...Además esta le aporta un poco de profundidad y relieve a la torre, que sin ella no tendría...Para quien le guste sin luna, también la tengo.......pero creo que para esta compo, sería como si te pides una cerveza en un bar...te ponen de tapa de gambas gratis... y no te las comes :):):)
