I thought they might have put them away for the winter, but I'm glad I went back today to check.
Today was our first real snowstorm of this winter here in Boston. It was really wet and sticky and thick snow.
That's from our day out last Saturday at Dunsford nature reserve. We have been here once before shortly after we arrived down in the South West 4 years ago - back then the daffodils were mostly gone already so it was nice to see the forest full of them this time.
It was a really stormy weekend so I had to wait for the gusts to ease off for a moment to take a photo without the flowers blurring. I'm actually surprised how sharp the photo came out - after all it was hand-held crouching down with a 1/30 exposure ;-)
When it is cold and windy and the trigger finger itches, there's nothing like going to Duesseldorf to try and find a new angle on the Gehry buildings...
But Donald Trump is half way through his second term as President of the United States of America.
Before pigs became the standard example, various animals were used in proverbs to express impossibility, including "snails may fly" and "cows might fly." However, pigs—being heavy, earthbound, and distinctly ungraceful—became the ultimate symbol of absurdity.
The earliest recorded version of the phrase appeared in 1616 in John Withals’ English-Latin dictionary (A Shorte Dictionarie for Yonge Begynners):
"Pigs fly in the ayre with their tayles forward."
This variation remained a common sarcastic response to overly optimistic or foolish statements throughout the 17th and 18th centuries.
In this modern world many absurd thing are coming true.

Adult Common Tern about to plunge into the water - Nickerson Beach, Long Island, New York, USA
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

Canary Wharf is a place I’ve never been to before, and the escalators leading out of the Tube station are a fairly common subject for photographers.
I was travelling light this particular day, using the Canon R8, and for this shot, the relatively cheap RF16mm f2.8, plus a Platypod instead of a tripod.
I was somewhat disappointed by the placement of the notice boards at the bottom of the escalators, and no amount of cloning or playing with various AI fill tools, could successfully eradicate them to my satisfaction; so unfortunately they remain.
A vibrant male Wood Duck glides through calm water, framed by the pale, fading blooms and broad leaves of a dying lotus. Sunlight catches the iridescent greens and purples of his plumage, contrasting sharply with the muted pinks and browns of the natural scene.

I am grateful for your continued support and appreciate every view, fave, and comment!

Day and night are equally charming in Lisbon, thanks to centuries-old pavement and facade-work found in almost every corner of the city.

Low angle view of a stainless steel heating flue attached to an abandoned Victorian factory building. The pipe appears to be puffing out a cloud into a sunny sky.
In this area of Greece, people used to build towers to defend their land from pirates or enemy armies.
Many of these towers are restored and create some breathtaking views in the wild landscape.
This village is called Vathia and is the main place where you can see some towers like these.
I chose this angle from the opposite hill to create a contrast between the lively colours of spring and the abandoned towers of the village.
Fall colours at Mountain View Cemetery in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Happy weekend everyone!!
About this photo: When I visited Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver to find some fall colours, I drove by Mountain View Cemetery where there was a beautiful lane with trees lined on each side in full fall colours. I just had to stop here and take a few photos of these vibrantly coloured trees.
This was one of the photos I took at the Mountain View Cemetery in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

A charming and intimate close-up portrait of a European Robin (Erithacus rubecula) perched low among moss and grass.
I spotted this Tufted Duck pair alongside a swan at a local wetland in Kuusamo, Finland. The summer day was so warm that I decided to just lie down on a mossy patch by the shoreline, soak up the sun, and enjoy watching their interactions. A truly relaxing way to spend a perfect summer afternoon.
