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.
This bird turned up in FL when I was there in April this year and I managed to get some images. I had only seen it once before also in FL back in 2013 I believe when two showed up.,

Managed to get nice and close with the 2x on! Slightly cropped to straighten the image. Abberton reservoir.
Managed to catch this really nice sunset just before it got dark and consider myself very lucky to get this as it was heavy overcast most of the day and got this brief break in the cloud cover at just the right time.

The Teatre Lliure in Barcelona is one of Spain's most important creative and exhibition centres. It is a member of the mitos21 European network of public theatres.
The Lliure's objectives today fall within four areas: the stage, the digital stage, cultural action and educational action.
They are all linked by a commitment to society and the community, and the engagement with the city is combined with a national and international profile; contemporary creativity in hybrid formats, highlighting the timeless value of the performing arts as a whole. Making theatre accessible to all audiences goes hand in hand with managing an institution within the framework of the new parameters of economic and environmental sustainability, as it is about to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary.
The Teatre Lliure Was founded as a cooperative in 1976 by a group of artists led by Fabià Puigserver, and is now a private foundation, in which the following public authorities have a shareholding: Barcelona City Council, Barcelona Provincial Council, the Government of Catalonia and the Spanish Ministry of Culture.

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
MOUNTAIN SNAIL 😇. Nature always manages to amaze me, even in its humblest and most daily manifestations. Surroundings of Portacomaro, Piedmont, ITALY.
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:.
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. ❤️
Managed to get this shot of the iconic gate when there was almost no one around. It pays to get up early!!!
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 :)
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is an orange day at Color my world Daily and the theme at Crazy Tuesday is wet. Which is just awesome since Mr. Teddy Bear is with us to celebrate Happy Teddy Bear Tuesdays, and he just got caught in a rain. Luckily for him, he had his umbrella with him. The clouds just seemed to follow him everywhere but he manage to keep himself dry. But as you can see, the beautiful apple he bought for Princess is all wet. It is a well known fact, that wet apples taste the best… especially if they were under a summer rain… Which will not happen to me very soon, living in Montreal all I can have right now it is an apple covered in snow… and if it is still on a tree it will probably be all rotten by now.
In Mr. Teddy Bear world summer is endless so we don’t have to worry about rotten apples …
See you later ! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
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!
A pair of Northern Gannets at their nest.
The male on the left had just returned and the female started to shake her head from side to side as if saying "Where have you been for all this time?"
The male then started to dart forward excitedly towards the female, beak agape,but never got too close.!
A few days later the female laid her first egg in the nest.
The head shaking is behaviour I have seen before but I have never managed to capture it on camera!.
Taken at RSPB Bempton.
Penmon Priory Isle of Anglesey. Managed to get the light in the top left going across the wall, this particular day the sun was in and out of the clouds and very windy you can see the clouds in the distance.
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.
Red Tailed Hawk ((I believe)) - Minesing Swamp - Ontario
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.
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.
I managed to nab a cherished front seat on the DLR. The windscreen wiper arms across the right of the shot were unavoidable. Approaching Tower Gateway Station as another one had just departed and a C2C train on the mainline to the right had just left Fenchurch Street.
I was taking photo's of small woodland birds when this beauty flew in. I couldn't move or rotate my camera for fear of frightening him. However I just managed to get him in the frame.
Taken in local woodland
Thank you for looking at my images. It's much appreciated
Always so curious what I'm photographing, Alyeska manages to become the star subject every single time!😆 Intended shot in the comment.

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.
Some charming clouds present mid-sunset, above a corn field and along our shelterbelt.
It is always so delightful to me how late you can manage to stay out for walks or hikes during the summer months

I managed to get myself out the door and around the corner in time to catch this amazing light show in the sky. Pretty lovely indeed. Happy Friday everyone!
This is two photos stitched.
A Bit of a Blustery Start to the weekend at Boulmer, Northumberland, managed to keep the wind off with me Brolly for this LE of " The Fence" Thank you for looking and have a Great Weekend :)
Its wet and miserable here today but I managed to get a photo of some birds in one of the trees at the back of our communal garden this morning.
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 picture is a render I did some 5 years ago using Poser software. I think that I managed not only to capture a good likeness of her face but also her figure. I used 3 point lighting. The shadows accentuate the curves of her figure. : )
Finally the weather gods were kind this morning and graced me with a misty start to the day so I dragged myself around Whiteleaf Woods and managed to bag myself some long awaited shots. Autumn colours are just starting to show, will be a good few weeks yet before some really nice colours appear.
Just loved this character as it appears to amble its merry way across the frame.
Happy Flickr Friday to you all!
Just managed a last gasp view of the sun, before it dropped below the horizon. Hove seafront 2021.

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 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!
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.
The Goritsky Monastery of Dormition (Russian: Успенский Горицкий монастырь) was a Russian Orthodox monastery in Pereslavl-Zalessky, Russia.
It was supposedly established in the early 14th century during the reign of Ivan I of Moscow (Ivan Kalita). In 1382 Tokhtamysh Khan destroyed the town and the monastery with it. According to the legend, Grand Princess Eudoxia of Moscow arrived as a pilgrim the day before the attack and managed to escape the Horde on a raft, covered by fog of the Pleshcheyevo lake. In gratitude for the miraculous salvation, she rebuilt the monastery and established a tradition of Easter rides on rafts across the lake.
All the monastery's manuscripts were destroyed by a fire on June 12, 1722, which is why little is known about its history.
No original architecture was preserved. The oldest parts of the preserved ensemble date to the 17-18th centuries.
The monastery was closed in 1788. In 1919 the Pereslavl-Zalessky Historical Museum was established within its territory.
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.

We visit the arboretum for many reasons, the serenity of it all, the wildlife, a change of scenery, and the surprises.
Mostly for the surprises. We joke about seeing something new and or different nearly every time we visit. This trip was no different. On one of the rare occasions when trying to get some photos of the Great Egret in flight as it soared across the lake to settle in a tree at the other end, I managed to capture something else.
It wasn't until looking at my photos later did I realize the Great Blue Heron was also standing there on the bank! Now that was a fun surprise!
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.
