He looks like the garden pet!
But know., this is a wild buzzard., and he's an absolute beauty as well
You'll know by now we 'love' our raptors., and spend a lot of time chasing them around.,
Doing all of this we have got to notice the variations in colour and even facial features from one bird to another
Even in the avian world., some birds are just better looking than others & this one could easily get a job as a part-time model!
Full time dreamer, part time traveller.
That is one of the shots you don't want to miss. You've been preparing this moment in your head for days, even weeks. On the day before you have checked the weather forecast like 20 times just to be sure that you would have a nice sky for sunrise.
And there it is.
Between excitement and kind of a mystical respect, you wait in the dark, quiet for the sun to rise.
And then it begins
This was an awesome moment.

A rather unproductive week photowise.
Started a new job after being invited to the world of redundancy, found it didn’t quite live up to its part time description...7 to 8hrs per day instead of 4.
Something has triggered another deliciously agonising episode of g**t, so I’m at a bit of a lower ebb than normal...
...in addition our holiday to Spain has been knocked on the head due to a rising spike in Covid...oh the effin joys.
So this pic is an alternative take on an earlier posting for which I do not apologise.
Anyone from the UK and of a certain vintage may well associate the image with Hovis bread and the strains of the New World Symphony.
...Every Friday I help guide over 2,000 passengers onto the Norwegian Pearl for a week long cruise to Bermuda and Bar Harbor, Maine...
How wonderfully civil; melt in the mouth butter shortbreads waiting to be eaten 'neath the Christmas tree.
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 30th of December is "festive food", so what better festive food to share than some of my own home made offerings. I make butter shortbreads each year for family and friends for Christmas as a gift. What started as a small offering has now become almost too much for me as word spread, and requests came in. Now that I work part-time, it makes it a little easier. I have to set aside a whole weekend at least which I devote just to the baking of Christmas fare in my little kitchen. So as my oven temperature increases, so does the volume on my stereo as I play a selection of my Christmas albums whilst I bake.
This year I made thirteen trays of shortbread biscuits, so around two hundred shortbread biscuits, made with a recipe almost one hundred years old, each injected with just a bit of love to the recipients.
I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, that it makes you smile... oh and bon appétit!
As this is the last “Looking Close on Friday” of the year, I should just like to take this opportunity to wish everyone in the group a very happy New Year. May it be filled with happiness and joy for you all.

The mailbox belongs to a part-time neighbor from DC. I regularly go home from work this way, and when I stop to take a photo from the road, she regularly gets in her Mercedes and follows/watches my Outback from afar, once even passing me to stop around the corner to make sure I drove off. She wasn't home this day. Can't imagine what she would think if she found me at her mailbox.
It's all good. I'd be suspicious, too, if I were from Washington DC.
Yes honey, the life of a drag queen like me is very hard, tremendously difficult, a drag queen like me has many expenses and many whims and since my fucking prince charming does not appear (I think he is shy and when he sees me he gets scared) I try to work very hard, on the street and in clubs.
Not exactly compositional perfection but I did like this candid look of one of the local coyotes in the park where I have been working part time. Some of the fall color still hanging on there in the background. My day off, I went to the park anyway with the big gear, from the rolling blind. Who does that - goes to work on their day off, just for fun? 😉
Coots are normally totally black, except the beak. This coot seems to be leucistic
Blässhühner sind mit Ausnahme des Schnabels eigentlich ganz schwarz. Dieses Tier scheint zumindest teilweise leuzistisch zu sein
The SM42 and SU42 locomotives of Chojnice depot are only supposed to be running on the weekends in May, June and September, aswell as full-time in July and August. However the reality is way different and they are also forced to work part-time in other months.
The recent decline in the reliability of railbusses forces the Pomeranian branch of PolRegio (previously Przewozy Regionalne; PR) to use two of their locomotives and one passenger coach each day to replace the broken down railbusses.
In fact, the situation on 21.01.2025 was even harder, because just recently one of the SM42 locomotives had been withdrawn from service, and one of the locomotives had to be dispatched to transport one EN57 and one EN71 unit from Chojnice to Gdynia for overhaul. This required for the retro-painted SM42-523, which was one of the least reliable locomotives in the depot, to be brought back into service after 4-5 months of a standstill.
Luckily the locomotive had no tech problems and could easily handle the ROS 50785 "Szkolniak" service on 21.01, which I photographed as it was starting its journey from Tczew towards Chojnice. Here the double track Ostbahn has to steeply climb up from the eastern part of the station in Tczew, in order to cut the line from Warsaw to Gdańsk.
The perspective makes it look like as if the locomotive was on the Marschbahn, due to the fact, that the lowlands between Tczew and the Baltic sea are almost completely flat, and partially submerged under sea level.

Here's another image of the delightful Burrowing Owl family I was privileged to observe on occasion over this past summer. This would be 7 of the 8 owlets. I remarked in previous posts the challenges: distance, heat wave distortion. You might notice the dark blobs of scat all around this area. Happens to be from grazing sheep. As for the young owls, they've earned their chest stripes, compared to the image from the month prior.
Apologies to my Flickr friends for my recent erratic posting and comments. Part-time work, a couple of photo gigs, and those 2 little kittens have really kept me busy lately. Life is good.
I live part time in Curitiba, Brazil (nice place to escape the Las Vegas summer heat) and this museum is just a couple of blocks from my apartment. It’s fun to wonder around here and try different lenses, many of which I use are vintage lenses on mirrorless cameras. This particular shot of these concrete cones was taken using a Fujifilm X-T5 and a Zuiko 50mm @ f1.4.

Europe - UK - United Kingdom - England - Northumberland - North East of England - Mary's Lighthouse - Whitley Bay - Tyne & Wear Coast - Tidal island linked to mainland by concrete causeway which is submerged at periods of high tide
St Mary's Lighthouse, near Whitley Bay, is on a tidal island which is linked to the mainland by a concrete causeway which is submerged at periods of high tide. The lighthouse and adjacent keepers' cottages were built in 1898. The lighthouse was decommissioned in 1984.
Reached between the tides via a short causeway from the car park, St. Mary's has all the fascination of a miniature, part-time island. Visitors can climb the 137 steps inside the tower to the lantern room to enjoy spectacular views along the North East coast of England. If you cannot manage the steps, a live video facility allows you to experience the same panorama at ground level.
One of those spectacular sunrises with fantastic colors. Just dont be fooled by the color of the lighthouse, it is not sunrise colors reflected, it has rather unusual purple color illumination.

How wonderfully civil; fruit mince pies waiting to be eaten 'neath the Christmas tree.
I make fruit mince pies each year for family and friends for Christmas as a gift. What started as a small offering has now become almost too much for me as word spread, and requests came in. Now that I work part-time, it makes it a little easier. I have to set aside a whole weekend at least which I devote just to the baking of Christmas fare in my little kitchen. So as my oven temperature increases, so does the volume on my stereo as I play a selection of my Christmas albums whilst I bake.
This year is a record with 172 individual mince pies, each made by hand using a sweet shortcrust pastry recipe more than a century old, to which I add a spoonful of love for everyone who receives them.
Merry Christmas and bon appétit!
Oh, the Kingyo Red Cap is actually a sweet water fish...

Some months ago I started to work part time, and take a preparatory course (this course is to take the test that was supposed to be the begining of this year, but it will supposely happen only next year). This course finally reached its end on April. I took a couple of weeks off and am now, working in the morning, taking my preparatory courses in the afternoon, I run three days per week in a park after classes, get home, eat, watch the news, and read whatever I have in hands (related to the test I want to take) 'till I find it's time to sleep, usually 22:30.
I am now making a lot less money than I used to, but am also studying a lot more in a less stressing way.
I was planning to go to USA on June/July this year, but that won't happen because I didn't get enough money (and there was the car problem, and some other unplanned expenses), nor time to go to São Paulo to request a Visa.
I was invited to go to Spain on Novermber, and I really would like to go, but that will happen only if I boost print sales sky high.
I would also like to go to USA on March or April next year (If the test I want to take really takes place on February as everyone expects), but according to my finances, that seems even harder to happen.
The problem with the test is that the last time it took place was in 2005!!! It should had taken place in 2007, 08 and 09! And nobody is sure if it will take place next year.
I'm just saying it all because I kind of said some of it to some people, who told other people whom I hadn't told anything and they got pissed because I hadn't said anything to them, and then there were other people worried about the amount of time I'm still "wasting" with photos and this and that... So, just making things clear, I take a camera where ever I go, so most photos "just happen" and don't take much of my time. The editing takes just as little of my time, lately, no more than 15 minutes. I upload photos usually during lunch time, while my brain is in "roaming mode".
That's it... and I'm kind of up set.

Head Harbour Lightstation - 210 Lighthouse Road, Wilson's Beach, Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada
More of an image of the island, than the light, but it does make itself known nonetheless.
Note:
I made a half dozen different crops of this composite capture, but when they were all up on the screen at the same time, this one distinguished itself from the rest.
Cropping images is an art in itself that (sadly) many photographers don't give enough consideration to how what's included, what's left out, and how the shape of the image affects the composition. And how the only way to really see how that plays out is to do it and see what happens.
