The second day on the easing of lockdown, and I took the opportunity to take a trip to Stanage Edge, everybody there was being very sensible, which was good to see, I picked a spot away from everyone and just soaked in the view for a couple of hours, pure bliss.
I'll keep away from the villages and stay out in the open
Lions go through extensive mating rituals about every twenty minutes for several days. Sitting around watching them is super entertaining and provides opportunities to capture images like this from the Masai Mara region.

Windows of Opportunity is a macro photograph of a Ficus leaf. This version blended the black and white version with the original, which was photographed on a light box.. A filter was added at 15 percent opacity to warm the leaf up a little bit. I will be off for two weeks starting tomorrow! Have a creative fortnight!
I came upon a serendipity moment the other morning as I noticed a perfect little window in the trees that let in the light & gave me a peak at the world beyond. This little window was created by Mother Nature and luckily I had my camera handy so that I could capture the magic while it lasted. I call this a window of opportunity.
I did not take it lightly that I had the opportunity to photograph the most famous Zamrock band of the 1970s, WITCH or We Intend to Cause Havoc. I am grateful I had a chance to see these greats play in the flesh in my own city. Here's the history of the band:

Following months of trying to entice raptors to my hide in the orchard, I finally had opportunity to photograph this incredible creature, the patience finally paid off.
Another shot from a great opportunity yesterday.
For my contacts not familiar with this Owl species, I added the information below taken from Wikipedia.
The Northern hawk-owl (Surnia ulula) is a medium sized true owl of the northern latitudes. It is non-migratory and usually stays within its breeding range, though it sometimes irrupts southward. It is one of the few owls that is neither nocturnal nor crepuscular, being active only during the day.
The Northern hawk-owl has been said to resemble a hawk in appearance and in behavior. In North America, its appearance in flight is often considered similar to a Cooper's hawk (Accipiter cooperii). It has been suggested that this may be because the hawk- owl may partially fill an important diurnal niche similar to that of day hunters such as hawks.

This is the best photo of an American Robin I've ever taken. See if you can find it. A great opportunity during sunset color recently.
This is inside my husband Masonic Lodge. We took our Mexican friend there in September for a visit as he is also a Mason. I love Mid Century Mod and the light was so nice!

TURN A DIFFICULTY INTO A NEW OPPORTUNITY
Joseph DG offered me an opportunity to paint his photo.
Thank you so much, Joseph, for trusting me.

I don’t feel sad at all looking at this abandoned shed as I often do with photos of run-down places.
I’d like to think maybe with a better option, its owner had moved to a better place for a happier life.
And the dilapidated shed is still standing there not as a pitiful sight but a memory of what used to be...

Before he heads to school, the little prince helps water the neighborhood plants.
Skippy smiles, noticing his fox friend, and lovingly chuckles,
"Thank you for carrying my book bag. You're a great friend!"
The little prince and his fox enjoy helping others and are very grateful to Soy for helping to inspire this scene.
You can find Soy's latest beautifully detailed collection
called Shitamachi Alley Garden at the Arcade!
In addition, almost everything else you see here was also
created by the very talented Soy!
You can pick up many of the items at Soy’s Main Store!
Keep lifting one another up and making the world a kinder and more welcoming place for all!
This is a traditional Yorkshire fishing vessel called a "Coble" that once fished out of Scarborough..It now lies in a semi-derelict state at South Ferriby on the banks of the River Humber,
In Parkes, NSW, for the David Malin Awards, I was told the normal floodlighting on The Dish radio telescope would be turned off to allow a timelapse to be made for the CSIRO. I hadn't planned to shoot The Dish as many others already have, but without the excess lighting, and given I didn't find a better site I thought I should try. Sigma lens, processed in Lightroom.
It just struck me that I have photographed this door a couple of times, been by it hundreds of times, seen the changes around the face of the door, but never ever peek beyond the door. I think I am Inspired to do so next time I am there.
Towards the sun but conveniently (with a few side steps from me) positioned between two conifers this Kestrel presented something of an unusual opportunity
Not classic photography
But different photography
And I'm always interested in something different!
This Barn Owl was perched on the post behind the tree making it difficult to get a good angle for a shot, when a brief gust of wind moved the branches allowing me to capture this photo, hence the title.
The sparrowhawk is surely one of the UK's most striking raptors.
Unfortunately this male's own strike was far from successful and his chosen prey had long since fled when I took this shot.
Sparrowhawk (Accipiter Nisus)

Many thanks to all those who take the time to comment on my photos. It is truly appreciated.
When I was sent to Battle Creek to work nights for a couple days a few years ago when they were cutting over CP Baron, I wanted to visit the small farm town of Bellevue about 10 miles east of the yard. The perfect opportunity presented itself in the form of a pair of barns on A451. After snaking my way through the god-awful twisting roads in that area, it wasn't long before the pair came out of the dark and passed the classic mill in the heart of town that seems to be the victim of an eccentric painter.
Opportunities are rare sometimes. Bummer when you miss them but you have to move on. Have a wonderful Friday and a terrific weekend.

This is my take on this year's Uncommon Common art installation in Grand Pre, Nova Scotia. It was designed and erected by Nicole Evans and Patrick Farrell.

Since the last weeks were quite busy I haven't had that much time for photography and hence I decided to upload a picture which I took in summer and which I quite like, especially in combination with the quote above. I hope you like it too!
Instead of complaining all day and night about restrictions (especially in Germany) we should hold on and follow the rules that are most important to fight the pandemic. Let’s find the best opportunities for meaningful work in these exceptional times. Going through the archives and editing overlooked goodies seems to be a good idea.
This is a new panorama from a series of photos I made in summer 2015 at Capanna Regina Margherita at the summit of Signalkuppe. I merged 5 photos which I had not edited before as I took a lot at this wonderful evening. They were taken at late sunset with the sinking sun right between Dent d' Herens and Matterhorn. We can look from Liskamm left with Montblanc behind over Breithorn, Dent d' Herens, Matterhorn, Dent Blanche, Obergabenhorn, Wellenkuppe and Zinalrothorn up to Dufourspitze and Zumsteinspitze which are quite near here at the right side.
I was working with the Leica M and the Zeiss Distagon 1.4/35 ZM. After development in Lightroom the panorama was merged in Photoshop.
When opportunity knocks on your door, always be willing to take a chance, because you never know how perfect something could turn out to be.

Thank you for your visit, faves, invites and kind comments!
I thought I saw a person working on a farm in the footpath, but in fact it was someone waiting a photo opportunity.😆
農作業中の人がいる、と思ってシャッターを切ったのですが、その人は写真撮影中の人でした😆
Also known as a Sand Martin, this is a very rare visitor to our Southern state though more common in North India where they winter after migrating from the Pale Arctic region. They have a wide spread across much of Europe, Asia and even North America.
The birds are pretty small - maybe 12-14 cms and have a slow erratic flight path. They tend to catch the insects in flight making them pretty hard to shoot in flight. Two birds came to a city lake, I was lucky to have spotted them close. I sat on the ground trying to shoot some birds and this one came close by giving this wonderful opportunity. The birds are solo fliers unlike other swallows like the Barn Swallow or Streak Throated Swallow which fly in small groups. The Bank swallow joined others species, but it was flying alone with no other members of its species around.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
