I finally managed to sneak down the Kukui Trail and found some nice clouds here at Waimea Canyon. Then the sun broke through clouds and cast some cool and interesting light over the landscape. After reviewing this photo, I wished I had taken out the 70-200 to pick the landscape apart piece by piece, but alas, Live and learn. :)
Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my photos and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great day :)
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
I managed to get to Mote Park lake just in time to catch a few minutes of this early winter sunset - my first of this season. It was a very cold afternoon and the lake was frozen over as can be seen looking at the foreground.
Managed to get nice and close with the 2x on! Slightly cropped to straighten the image. Abberton reservoir.
Managed to get this magpie that came to take advantage of a free feed !!

This part of the Pucks Glen path takes the walker towards a rocky outcrop that contains what looks like a face ... can you see it?.

More scenes from the walk can be seen here:.
I managed to visit Kangaroo Island during my trip to Adelaide for the opening of the ANZANG exhibition at the SA Museum which includes my "Stormlight & Stardust" image. This is from a bay on the island being belted by storms over the Southern Ocean. Next stop from the edge here is Antarctica! It's been a long while since I've been able to shoot any seascapes, a conscious effort to expand the portfolio in other areas.
Canon 1DsMkIII, 16-35mm 2.8L, GND filter, single exposure.
This is a shot of the south end of Loch Eck taken from a hilltop overlooking Stratheck. From this viewpoint I can see 2 forest tracks that I regularly walk/cycle and also one of my favourite roads to drive :)
Managed a quick shot of the male Chaffinch that's been visiting our garden over the last couple of days. It only stays at the far back of the garden though. It’s perched on the shallow water trough. Taken through the window.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
Finally Managed to upload this pic!!
It is always the most fun to take pictures with You... Thank you my Friend for being You ..... Love you!!
I managed to squeeze off a shot of the Madagascar Sparrowhawk when he landed above my head in a tree along our walking path through the spiny forest.
I liked the way the branches framed him in - - and besides, if I moved he would likely fly away.
Madagascar Sparrowhawk
Managed to stop the car without the hawk immediately flying away - - a rare occurrence. Sun was pretty bright so a lot more dark shadows than you would like but otherwise a clear shot even after some cropping - - I'm glad my lens is finally sharp again after another round of micro-adjustments.

We both managed to get out together today, first time in 2 weeks that Daniel has left the house, which was great, really good to see it lifted his spirits. Hopefully do it more often. We met with a friend and had a coffee at Hardwick park and fed the birds, then went to Fishburn airfield and sat outside plane watching. Had a mini-shoot while we were there. Have a wonderful evening all. ❤️
On how I managed to diffuse a potentially explosive situation.
I was sat on a bench approximately 50 metres across from this family and noticed their reflections in the puddle. I took about five or six shots and noticed with each one the boy with his hands in his pockets became more and more agitated.
He eventually marched over to me and demanded to know why I was taking photographs of his family.
I smiled politely and assured him I wasn't taking photographs of his family, I was taking photographs of the puddle.
He thought for a moment, I could see he was in a mucking fuddle, then he said, Oh, that's alright then and calmly walked away.
As did I before the penny dropped!
Managed to get this shot of the iconic gate when there was almost no one around. It pays to get up early!!!
Managed to get out today at last for exercise of course great to see these back
Taken at Yarner Woods

I managed to capture the entire courting and mating even in 115 frames. The cooing, preening, and kissing was pure bliss to see.
Have a lovely weekend!
I managed to photograph the Hebridean Princess cruise liner from our doorstep, as she sailed up passing us by on the Sound of Sleat on a gorgeous March evening! Interestingly this lovely ship started off as a Caledoninan MacBrayne ferry, based in Oban and visiting the Scottish islands.
Managed to get another one of those colds. So not much time to take pictures right now. But I'm heading down to the south coast at the weekend, so hopefully I will be able to get some different shots.
Managed to capture a male Black Redstart today - my previous upload was the female of the species.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
Managed to get out for a shortish walk this morning. Started off in great light, which then got worse and worse. But at least I got out!
I just love Lavender.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :)
This is my version of the co-operative effort with Tim Poulton.
Having settled into my sleeping bag earlier I was surprised by Tim returning from his call to nature exclaiming "you better check this out".
The moon had emerged from the clouds and was lighting up the side of Craig's Hut spectacularly.
We raced outside to setup our gear and started to capture some frames. However something was missing. We needed to bring the hut to life. With no high powered lamps we resorted to Tim's shellite fuel.
There were quite a few logistical problems with capturing this image. Firstly the time it would take to shoot the 7 frame pano at 15 sec per frame would prove problematic with the moon disappearing behind the clouds regularly. Also Tim had to carefully manage the interior lighting for 2 minutes and not burn or gas himself or create another $300k rebuild.
Cheers
The older I get the more I begin to believe that the lifespan of the human species is finite. I think there is no question that at some point in the future we will manage to exterminate ourselves. Which when you think about it is superbly ironic for supposedly the most intelligent life form on this planet! Perhaps we should ask the ants and the rats for advice because I'm sure like these wonderful old trees they will out survive us and go on to thrive long after we have either blown ourselves to smithereens or managed to pollute ourselves out of existence.
Have a good day everyone! 😇
I managed to capture this Fulmar as it flew to its nest in a shady gorge which provided this lovely dark background.
Taken on the Isle of Lunga, Scotland.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.
Finally managed to get close up to our rather large visitor to Attenborough in the lovely afternoon winter sun, it's been several years since I have had the chance to photograph a Great White Egret and the size of the these birds still amazes me, when standing upright they actually look down on the passing swans not many birds can do that, lets hope it stays around for much longer.
Although it was not far away, this Broad-billed Motmot was perched quietly among vegetation (typical of members of the family) and it was by seeing the characteristic side-to-side movement of the tail that I located it. This individual was on the grounds of the Los Amigos Biological Station on the Rio Madre de Dios in the Amazon Basin in lowland southeastern Peru. [That spot also had the similar but larger Rufous Motmot (Baryphthengus martii), which I did not manage to photograph.]
Managed to get a shot of this Long-tailed Tit with nesting materials before he disappeared into the trees. Taken on a local walk this afternoon.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
I just managed to squeezed both of them in at prime focus on my C11 telescope. However, I found wrestling with trying to remove the light pollution gradients quite a challenge on this occasion.

We managed to see a bit of sunshine on our last Norfolk trip and did a short walk from Morston Quay to Blakeney Quay.

Finally managed to get out and about and take a few photos to start this 100x project. My son liked this iPhone processed shot better than all the others and yes, for those of you who put up with my 100x last year, it's those bridges again!
Managed to stop a take a patch of daisies that has started to cover the bank of the roadside on the way to my dads a couple of weeks back.
Finally managed to make it over to PumeC to get the new group gift! I have a new fav skin OMG I love it!!!!
Managed a quick trip to the beach in order to see if California is OPEN yet. Most coastal access remains closed, with all parking areas blocked.
But I found this Guy racing around a rest stop, and managed to get a shot before he raced off.
For a generation of viewers, the familiar “beep, beep” of Warner Brothers’ cartoon Roadrunner was the background sound of Saturday mornings.
(Although commonly quoted as "meep meep", Warner Brothers, the current owner of all trademarks relating to the duo, lists "beep, beep" as the Road Runner's sound, along with "meep, meep." )
Despite the cartoon character’s perennial victories over Wile E. Coyote, real-life coyotes present a real danger to Roadrunners; Coyotes can reach a top speed of 43 miles an hour—more than twice as fast as roadrunners.
Roadrunner can outrace a human, kill a rattlesnake, and thrive in the harsh landscapes of the Desert Southwest. Roadrunners reach two feet from sturdy bill to white tail tip, with a bushy blue-black crest and mottled plumage that blends well with dusty shrubs. As they run, they hold their lean frames nearly parallel to the ground and rudder with their long tails.
Roadrunners have evolved a range of adaptations to deal with the extremes of desert living. Like seabirds, they secrete a solution of highly concentrated salt through a gland just in front of each eye, which uses less water than excreting it via their kidneys and urinary tract. Moisture-rich prey including mammals and reptiles supply them otherwise-scarce water in their diet. Both chicks and adults flutter the un-feathered area beneath the chin (gular fluttering) to dissipate heat.
Roadrunners eat poisonous prey, including venomous lizards and scorpions, with no ill effect, although they’re careful to swallow horned lizards head-first with the horns pointed away from vital organs. Roadrunners can also kill and eat rattlesnakes, often in tandem with another roadrunner: as one distracts the snake by jumping and flapping, the other sneaks up and pins its head, then bashes the snake against a rock. If it’s is too long to swallow all at once, a roadrunner will walk around with a length of snake still protruding from its bill, swallowing it a little at a time as the snake digests.
Based on banding records, the oldest roadrunner was at least 7 years old.

Managed to take a few snaps in the early morning when this little guy wasn't all that active yet and stayed still long enough for me to frame it up nicely.
I only managed to get this shot of the front rolling in off the bay... as soon as i was on the beach, the rain came smashing down.
