I awoke to an empty bed and a solitary hat with a note attached. You have decided to leave. You can't do this anymore. Sigh! I will miss your quick smile, your ready laugh, your warm embrace, your wickedly endearing self. I mourn, I mourn for your loss and mine...and all I have left is your hat.

This was also taken on April 5, just as people were ready to march towards City Hall.
If you look closely you can see the word "everything" from another sign that was almost in perfect arrangement with the bigger sign. The sign with Hitler's face is a nice touch, too.
If you haven't seen the video yet, here it is on my YouTube channel. You can see the march as it begins in Pershing Square and ending at City Hall.
they reckoned I'd got close enough ;o)
Mainly a rear view shot ....but I liked the two profiles I did capture!
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!

I was on my way back from a meeting and had the camera in the boot and was passing T5 and I thought why not pop down to my favourite little view spot and see what I can get.
I was not ready to take this shot as I was in awe of the awesomeness of this plane…it was massive…lol This image does not even come close to show the magnitude of this aircraft.
I increased the exposure, clarity and brought the temperature down a bit. I then increased the shadows and a little bit of saturation and the blue saturation too, increased the blue luminance just to blow out the sky out a bit. I used the healing tool to take out a whole tree on the bottom right (amazing) and two lamp post that were in the middle and then finally added some colour priority and lens vignetting in LR.
I feel like there is something messing, I wanted to add some vapor trails but not sure whether that would be better or heat trails or maybe some text at the bottom…what you think???

I was late onto this shot - the noise of this family of swans taking off drew my attention. This is a rear-end view of this mighty bird getting airborne to follow his three fast-growing cygnets!

The Regent Parrot is a slim parrot with a long, dusky tapering tail and back-swept wings. It is mostly yellow, with blue-black wings and tail. There is a prominent yellow shoulder patch and red patches in the wings, which show up against the dark wings in flight. The bill is deep red or pink. Females and juveniles are duller olive-green with pinkish, duller wing patches. The Regent Parrot's distinctive call is often heard long before the birds appear
Adult Peregrine Falcon passes off a pigeon to junior for lunch. I don't think junior is going to be a vegan...
As another coyote approached things got tense for a moment until this hunter took his prey and scurried off.

Happy weekend, everyone!
In Marbella and Puerto Banus, the fish have got so used to people feeding them bread from the side, that they will hang out where the people are, in case of a nibble!
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.
