Had some luck with weather conditions tonight...why go so far...Have a good remaining weekend. Stay healthy and safe. Thanks, Udo.
Since the female and male birds have different coloration in some parts of their bodies, there is a symbolic meaning of your inner spirit, which is different and unique at the same time. Red-winged blackbirds symbolize good luck, protection, prosperity, and guardian angels looking over you.
Thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images - very much appreciated.

It has always been my wish to photograph the secretive Sora head-on showing its laterally compressed body, which allows it to slip and weave easily through dense vegetation. However, seeing the Sora in the open is notoriously difficult.
I was justifiably excited when I spotted this Sora walking cautiously along the path. And when it turned and looked straight into the lens for a brief instant, the angle, light and position were just right, as seen in this picture. Luck!
I am glad that I was ready and took advantage of that opportunity.

""Last night, while saying goodby to my last folded origami-Santa, the presumed empty sack suddenly moved. To both our big surprise an origami-crane emerged ;-))""
In Japanese folklore, cranes are said to live a thousand years. Because of this, an origami crane represents a long, healthy life. Cranes are also viewed as symbols of happiness and good luck. According to legend, if one thousand paper cranes are folded, it is said that one's wish will be granted. After the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, the origami crane also became a symbol of peace and nonviolence.
I wish it was possible to give you all a folded origami-crane (origami Tsuru), but I have to do this way.
I want to thank you for your friendship and support throughout the year. Your appreciation and comments are a motivation to go on. I'm also happy I can share the joy of origami with you.
I wish you all a very joyful and happy Xmas or very joyful and happy Holidays with your beloved ones. Enjoy ;-))

The morning fog had burned off the valley as I headed east on CA 58 towards Tehachapi, Bakersfield behind me. I wasn't sure how this would come out, the sun was above and directly in front of me, so bumped up the contrast and used my slightly tented windshield and fast shutter to reduce the brightness. Also luck to find one of the few spots on this steep climb big enough to pull my rig off the roadway.
You start life with a full pot of luck and an empty pot of experience. The objective is to fill the pot of experience before you empty the pot of luck
Happy New Year, girls and boys !!
Thank you for your friendship and have always good light.
Let's start into a great new adventure !!
Be curious and faithful.
Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
So love the people who treat you right.
Forget about those who don’t.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a chance - take it.
If it changes your life - let it.
Nobody said life would be easy,
they just promised it would be worth it.

Le halo autour de Sea Luck n'est pas un artifice Lightroom ou Photoshop. Je ne sais pas d'où il vient, mais il y est.
I captured the spiral from the ground floor.
The architect designed another staircase to get from ground floor to second floor.
So there is the chance to photograph this staircase without interfering influences like a down coming spiral and railings.

Herbst im Landkreis Fürstenfeldbruck: Das einjährige 111er Glück im Bereich der KBS 970 zwischen München und Memmingen neigte sich im Oktober 2021 bereits dem Ende entgegen. Zur Freude einiger Fotografen konnte eine Wolkenlücke für dieses Bild genutzt werden, als 111 065-9 samt RE 57414 das kurvenreiche Teilstück rund um Kottgeisering passierte.
Autumn in the district of Fürstenfeldbruck: The one-year 111er luck in the area of the KBS 970 between Munich and Memmingen was already coming to an end in October 2021. To the delight of a few photographers, a gap in the clouds could be used for this picture when 111 065-9 together with RE 57414 was passing the winding section around Kottgeisering.
Some wants proof of Good Luck
They keep searching
Will I find it 🍀 they ask themselves
Instead of looking around you
Why not look within
The luck you are searching is there
I know that for sure
Deal with your own shit instead of getting annoyed upon others'
You probably have the same things to deal with
But its easier to see others'
Find peace with yourself
Luck will come
Happiness too
And why not say
I love you
More often
To yourself and to others
The world would be a better place for us all if we do so
Have a lovable day
I love you ❤

Sometimes you lose against the clouds...3 sets and 3 cloud shanks with this guy. Was feeling pretty good after the previous photo of Amtrak...used up all my luck with that one I guess.
Former MARC (Maryland Area Rail Commuter) GP40WH-2 number 57 has been rebuilt and repainted by Staunton based Precision Locomotive Leasing. Here they lead the SV Local back to Staunton after serving customers at Weyers Cave. And the oscillating headlight between the numberboards was working fine!
Here is what it looked like shortly after arriving the property:

I caught a peek at a beautiful white-tailed deer as we toured Wildlife Drive at the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge, June 28, 2023. Lady luck was with me as this deer was going along a canal with high grasses, but stopped at this gap long enough for me to zoom in and catch it from my vehicle. Thank-you, Canon!
I would be re-locating from Islamabad to Lahore in coming weeks. Hence I won't be coming online for a while (don't know till when). Happy flickring and good luck.
Thanks for you continued support.
Personally, I don't believe in luck, but I like the pic rusty old, lichen covered horseshoe.

The ladybug / ladybird is considered lucky in many countries.
A ladybug will bring you good luck if one lands on you.
Let the ladybug go and watch which way she flies and that is the way your answer lays.
Folklore says if you find a ladybug in your home, count the number of spots on her back and that is how many dollars you will find.
Killing a ladybug will bring you sadness and misfortune.
Many farmers consider ladybugs lucky because the eat some of the bad insects that spoil crops.
A ladybug is good luck if they land on your hand on a Sunday and you can count to 22 before she flies away.
Shot in January this year when I had the opportunity to visit the Peak District for a couple of hours. Walking at the top of a small mountain ridge, the sun just came through the clouds and the light was amazing. I guess that this was just luck-)
I worked on a initial version of this photo and since I work with Lightroom CC (in combination with Photoshop), I thought to give it another try. I'm actually amazed what you can pull from a file from the LX3, an older camera with some limits. But it's all about the picture and I'm pretty proud about this one!
Misplacin' the failed
acceptance of myself into others
I'm feelin' the guilt
of being selfish too selfish
too tired for that compromise
so I'll drown my confusion
in a bottle of poison
for my thoughts to just stop
and I'll pick it up in the morning
I'll spend my time waitin'
for that train to arrive
I'm tunin' that note
just to pass the time
this shit luck won't last too long
but it's up to me
to kick it up a notch
2TE116UM loc with a northbound container train through the Tunkh's autumn valley. Sometimes, scattered and fastly moving clouds gives me fantastic light and luck! I didn't expect any good result minute before the train is coming, because there were too much cloud shadows on the ground 😁

We'll be ready to organize your tours (railfanning, photography, sightseeing, cultural, etc) after a pandemic period and canceled the border restrictions. An important good thing is for any travelers that Mongolia is one of the NO COVID-19 outbreak countries! You can freely and safely travel in the Mongolian landscape :)

We sat by the Evansdale bridge on the curve here to watch the train pass by under dark clouds.
But as the train rumbled into earshot, a patch of sun scudded down the hills towards us.... Worth a chance since we had come all this way.
Got the drone fired up and airbourne as the train passed, flew out in speedy-mode, turned and clicked. Luck of the gods.
