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.
Managed to get nice and close with the 2x on! Slightly cropped to straighten the image. Abberton reservoir.
Well I managed to test negative after my five days isolation in Maura's apartment in Italy, so now we're mountain biking in Valle Maira. the combination of wild flowers and dramatic mountains is stunning. My legs are struggling with so many steep climbs and never ending ascents, but the rewards and downhills are well worth the effort. Simply Beautiful is by Al Green
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.
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!!
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:.
The Oriented Natural Reserve of the Saline di Trapani and Paceco is a protected natural area of Sicily that extends for almost 1000 hectares in the territory of the municipalities of Trapani and Paceco.
The reserve, within which the ancient activity of extraction of sea salt is carried out, is an important wetland, which offers shelter to numerous species of migratory birds. It is managed by WWF Italy.
Much of the Reserve is made up of privately owned salt pans, where salt extraction is still practiced according to traditional techniques in use for centuries.
The presence of numerous windmills is of considerable landscape impact.
They are traditionally of different types: those used to pump water between basins, the mill for lifting the water, and finally those for grinding salt crystals.

Cette végétation contre un mur semblait tenter très fort ce jeune cygne et en tendant fortement son cou il est parvenu à en manger sous l'oeil intéressé de son frère.
Click on the picture to see more details please.
This vegetation against a wall seemed to envy this young swan and by stretching his neck he managed to eat under the interested eye of his brother.
Managed to get this shot of the iconic gate when there was almost no one around. It pays to get up early!!!

Il est arrivé le 29 mars, suivie par la femelle une semaine après.
Depuis une semaine un deuxième couple s'est introduit pour la premiere fois, ça fait juste avec la lucarne. L'entente est bonne, il y a 4 nids depuis les 25 ans que j'ai des hirondelles dans le garage!
I have since 25 years swallows in my garage, this is the Boss.
A second couple arrived one week ago, I have never had two couples because of the little window but they managed it. There are four nests....we will see when the little ones will fly away!
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.
Haven't managed to get out with my camera for a couple of months for various reasons, this morning I went out with the intention of using my newly acquired Olympus OM2n film camera but I took the wrong tripod mount with me, so ended up using the EM10 instead.
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.
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 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. :)
A well photographed waterfall from our day trip to North Wales. I'm trying to improve my landscape technique at the moment after a day out with our friend and accomplished landscape photographer John Starkey. The weather forecast was completely wrong, so we didn't manage to do as much as we'd hoped, but the walk through the woods to this little waterfall was lovely.
We were enjoying the tranquillity of the location until someone on the adjacent estate started blasting away with a shotgun at regular intervals, oh well....

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 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.
Wingardium Leviosa. It was the first spell she learned and, as it turns out, is one of her best spells. At first she could barely lift anything, or everything would backfire. Now? Now she could pull a person up by their clothing or move an object from across the room. Still, this didn’t mean she didn’t have to practice.
“Wingardium Leviosa,” she said quietly to herself and smiled as her books and papers lifted up around her.
Best wishes to all!!
Managed to get back to Wimborne Minster in Dorset again, this time armed with the Zeiss Wide Angle add on lens to get a little more of this beautiful ceiling etc. in the frame, such gorgeous blues! iPhone 8 Plus placed on the floor and triggered using the Hisy Remote. Initially edited in DxO Photo Lab, then Photoshop to remove a light (the main lights had already been kindly turned off for me, but a rogue light remained), then finally a selected brightess increase in a few areas via Snapseed on iPad Pro.
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 a trip to the Yorkshire Dales for these Turtle Doves before I disappear for a few days. They kept there distance, so unfortunately they are large crops.
Many thanks as always for your comments and faves.
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.
On this trek I managed to break both my 14-24mm and my D700 camera so that I was stuck with only using f2.8. However I thought I would use this shallow depth-of-field to my advantage for this shot :)
Managed to get out today as not been with camera for many weekends, what a joy as was dry.
Some way off but pleasure to watch a very small flock for several minutes.
I managed a quick visit at a park on Wednesday morning. It was cloudy but the temperatures were pleasant and I enjoyed every minute. I mainly went there to find out whether the dahlias had made any progress in the last two weeks but then I spent more time with the farm animals. Especially my friends the Kunekune pigs are always a joy to hang around with. This is the younger one who only a few weeks ago was just a little piglet. And yes, the grass definitely shows the effects of the heat and lack of rain but some parts of the meadow are watered and therefore still offer green grass for the animals.
At the end of a night shoot in Ardentinny car park I thought I take advantage of the light from the full moon to take the long exposure :)
I managed to get amongst the wild flowers/beautiful weeds in a part of the garden yesterday and took some photos. They're mainly these yellow dandelion-like flowers collectively known as "false dandelions" and they have names such as Catsear, Meadow Hawkweed and Bristly Hawkbit. I think these particular ones are Catsear. There are so many of them and they give a beautiful display.
Managed to capture my vain cat admiring himself in a mirror. Taken on his second birthday.
Had a play with it in Coral painter essentials 5 for Sliders Sunday.
Original taken on my Sony A580.
I managed to sit quietly enough for an hour and a half last night and eventually one of the hedgies came out and I managed to pick it up, very prickly! and popped it on the scales. It weighed in at 1lb 8oz. A perfect size to go into winter hibernation and we still have enough time to increase that a bit more before hand. Oh, it was so cute!!! and after putting it back it had a lovely feed.
This is a view snapped from a rocky outcrop above the log cabins of Strathech and Loch Eck. Middle left can be seen the mini-dam at the foot of Loch Eck feeding water into the River Eachaig. Both the loch, and the river, are popular kayaking locations of mine:.
.
This video starts from the beach in front of the right-most row of cabins and follows my paddle over the dam and down the river:.

And this video was shot when the water was higher and faster :).
Graham managed to go out yesterday, without any mishaps and came home with an Easter present for me and some chocolate for us both.
What a Hero.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :)
I managed to catch a shot of the huge flock of crested terns before they took flight. Once again, this was a very small section of the huge number that filled the entire beach overlooking Merri Island on Warrnambool's coast.
I managed to get Sunday off and Tonia wanted to hang so I took her up to Edith Creek. I was stunned when she said she'd never been here, I think that it's the most visited place in the park. I walked above it across snow twice earlier this year, this is the first time that I actually saw it. (this year)
