Do you like the pic off centered?? Just trying out different techniques, bc everything else I try doesn't get many views
Opportunity shot, waiting for my bus: very lucky on this one, I targeted him and wait... and wait.... and finally, this gentle gull decided to take off... I pushed fiercely the trigger of my -bad for action shot - little bridge, then immediately went to see the result on the viewer.... which gave me a big smile!

Adult Peregrine Falcon passes off a pigeon to junior for lunch. I don't think junior is going to be a vegan...
Poznan, Poland
Gołębia street, Stary Rynek
While waiting for the sunrise yesterday morning, I took a minute to quickly wander through the Rynek. I love this street and how the sun light fills it and bounces off all of the walls. I am always captivated by it and shoot more than my fair share here when I am wandering through.... —

This Canada goose was very irritated at Fabyan and before long it took off, leaving a trail of splash behind. The one in the comments: with retracted landing gear.

Go on, have a guess!? Well, just the one, and not a soul got on, either.
Despite visiting this station a great amount of times in the past, I've always neglected platforms three and four. Truth be told, compositionally, and literally too, they're both infinitely more interesting than one and two on the Birmingham Gloucester line. I guess the reason I'd neglected them is because the 'interesting' workings stay on the other side.
Specifics out of the way, the unidentified W.M.T. unit drifts into the station, stops for an amount of time, giving the guard a small addition to his ten thousand daily steps - the front of the train cannot be seen from the rear - and then continues on to New Street, as silence claims the station.

Photography becomes an obsession when you get up at 4:00 am on a work day to go and shoot a sunrise, go home and then promptly get yourself ready for work. There was no colour this morning but still very beautiful with wonderful clouds and blue hues.
“Merry Christmas, Maurice! Time to wake up and see all your presents.”
“Where’s Bentley? I thought I lost him!”
“Bentley is right here, dear. He just fell to the floor by your bed.”
“I must have had a dream that I was at the North Pole.”
“You had a dream like that last year, didn’t you?”
“I don’t remember, but I do remember how I had to wake up with Yoda and I traveled on a land speeder, and...”
“Remember, you were watching all those Star Wars movies the day before Christmas.”
“But look what one of your presents is.”
“It’s Grogu! I wanted a stuffed one to play with! Thank you.”
“And since you were so good in helping with our remodeling project this summer, we also got you something you wanted.”
“And your cousin Jill Ellyn is here to give you that gift, too!”
“Oh, thank you, Jill Ellyn. What is it?”
“You’ll just have to open it and see.”
“Oh, it is another tool set! Neat! Thank you!”
“Your aunt called to ask if you made her favorite pie. I told her you made her lemon meringue pie recipe all from memory. She was impressed. We can’t wait to have it for our dessert.”
“Thank you, mom and dad, for helping me memorize all kinds of things. That was very useful.”
“You’re welcome, son. You know, you learned a lot from your parents, and we’re glad you love doing the things you were taught. But the one thing that impresses your mother and me is how you show your appreciation to others, even when you may feel grumpy about things.”
“I guess you’re right. Working at the North Pole also taught me a lot about being patient. And that’s a hard lesson to learn.”
“How can you say you were at the North Pole? You’ve been here all the time.”
But Bentley knows!
It has been three days since we were run off the road into the Wither Woods. I can see why our Rego was apprehensive on getting involved on the continent. What should have been a simple trip to the Avalonian capital has turned into a slaughter in the dark inside these woods. Death lurks in these trees. My contingent of solders has all but vanished and I know it is not cowardice or desertion.
I fear if I fall asleep, I may never wake, but I have not slept since we were attacked on that first night; I can fight it back no longer. We’ve situated camp on this crag over a stream; we will be safe on two sides, at least. Hirbod has the first watch. May his eyes, and ears, not fail us tonight.
-Sicuro
After weeks of no word from Sicuro or the contingent of men he led to Avalonia, rumor made its way to the Rego of Varlyrio. This whisper was enough to convince his minster of War and himself that isolation from the continent was prudent. Varlyrio would not send troops to the Battle of Historica.
This is my entry into the Guilds of Historica Book III Challenge V: Category A (which takes place in Book II). This lost diary entry explains what happened to the contingent of troops sent by the Rego of Varlyrio. Their disappearance solidifies his view that Varlyrio should stay out of the distant war.
The coniferous trees follow Katie Walker’s design while the odd-angled branched ones are based on Legopard’s Design. I found both by following this Brickbuilt Tutorial.
There's a spot not too far from home where Great Horned Owls nest every year. I've been over a couple of times to see them, once the the owlets were much younger and I struck out. Now they're flying out shortly after the parents leave the nest area and on my recent visit, I saw two owlets and one parent.
