A closer look at the snowdrops growing in large patches on the cemetery of Crediton church. It looks like they will fade soon, I like how the petals open up and bend upwards. To the odd person passing by it must have looked slightly surreal - me down on my knees and elbows on a graveyard....my wife rightly complained about muddy elbows afterwards...oh the things you do for a photo :-)
the tower is always there. a skeleton of iron, seen by millions. it belongs to everyone, and to no one. but for a moment, you can own it. you can frame it with your own body, a brief, personal silhouette against the public view. you can place the sun exactly where you want it, make it explode into a star. for that single, captured second, the icon is not just a landmark. it is part of your story. a backdrop to a quiet, confident pose. then you move, and it goes back to being just the eiffel tower.

Kakku is a pagoda field in Taunggyi, Myanmar, in the southern Shan state. There are over 2,000 pagodas on an area 306 m wide and 150 m long. Until 2001, a visit to Kakku was prohibited for foreigners.
The legend says that the first stupas were created by King Alaungsithu. the 12th century King of Bagan. The decorative sculptures and figures are 17th or 18th century but some of the structures are clearly much older. The particular remarkable about the whole site is its good state of preservation.
Caught a quiet moment with this male Goosander (Common Merganser) drifting through the shallows. I really liked how the foreground tree trunk and the overhanging branches created a natural frame, drawing the eye right to the bird. The water was calm enough to catch a nice reflection of his rusty-white plumage and iridescent green head.

The latest post, in my Location Updates, provides detailed information on how I’m getting photographs like this one with nesting birds flying low above the water. In these updates you will also find regular reports on where I’m finding the best photographic opportunities at the Nickerson Beach. It is only June and I’ve already posted over 20 updates, 4 maps and few tips never shared before: www.greggard.com/location-updates/nickerson-beach-ny-updates

Union Park in the South End was gorgeous yesterday. This was with Sony a6000 and Sigma 19mm lens.
I did get a few shots I really like, including this one, but I feel like I'm always amazed at the beautiful shots of brownstones and trees I see on Instagram from beacon hill, back bay, south end, etc... and then when I go there, I have a really hard time framing good shots or finding the right streets or something, and I'm always disappointed. Any tips from experts for photographing those neighborhoods?
(Yesterday, I think my mistake was spending too long at Union Park instead of exploring more... it gets dark so early now! But still, I'm often frustrated at trying to shoot the classic Boston neighborhoods and I can't quite put my finger on why.)

Leopard cub in the Okavango Delta, Botswana.
I was fortunate enough to have 5 quality sightings of Leopards (4 diffferent specimen), including one handsome tomcat, a female and 2 cubs, in just 4 days.
I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.

Day and night are equally charming in Lisbon, thanks to centuries-old pavement and facade-work found in almost every corner of the city.
We encountered quite a few very large mushrooms during our walk last Saturday, those must have been the tallest we ever came across in the wild! I think those are Parasol mushrooms (M.procera).
