Passing under the Illinois Highway 40 overpass, Santa Fe GE C30-7 No. 8121 leads a westbound piggyback train into Edelstein, Illinois, at the end of the day on April 30, 1988.
A beautiful, breezy Spring day on the Isle of Skye, the clouds making lovely colours on the mountain tops.
Sulphur-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita)
One of a pair that flew over the Heathdale - Glen Orden Wetlands yesterday.
My posting of the Saw Whet four pics earlier brought me luck for this season! Went to the Pole Farm early in hopes of seeing a Short eared Owl. Not luck with that. But this big bird was flying over and past us. Quick shoot and discover on your display that it's a Snowy Owl. What a way to start your day with a major surprise!
Split second timing in Westminster, London. It came and went in seconds :-))
Taken from across the road at the rear of Buckingham Palace with a Nikon D7000 way back in 2013. Nose to tail traffic, with only a second between each of the vehicles.
The stormy weather was moving in during the later part of this Sunday afternoon. Here at the wetlands beside the Tamar River, I was able to catch the sun lighting up the foreground while the dark clouds rolled across the background into the mountains.
On the far horizon, the setting sun.
Last beams of golden light search their way through the open window. A murmuring brook flows to the song of the birds outside. Wind gently brushes the cherry trees and carries the scent of flowers inside the quiet room. With a deep sigh he lifts his gaze from his graphic tablet, eying his work in a critical manner. Maybe it was time for a break? He turns towards u10. They've been quietly working side by side. It was a comfortable silence between them, that he rarely felt with others. A smile whisks over his face as he watches him.
A moment passes, before he gets up and disappears into the kitchen, only to return with a red fox cup, filled with fruit vinegar. He takes a seat on the edge of u10's pillow, gently he leaning onto him.
"Here.", he almost whispers, while passing the cup to him.
"Asahi-kun." A genuine smile spreads across u10's lips.
"Thank you.", he says accepting the cup. "We should take a break and stretch."
Asahi chuckles and thoughtfully he taps his chin with his index finger. "How about... would you like to watch a movie?"
"Hai!", u10 replies with a hearty laughter.
あなた は わたし の とくべつ です。
You are special to me.
The Short-eared Owl and the female Harrier flew at each other and came quite close together, but they never actually touched. Opportunities to photograph this kind of behavior are rare for me. In the last two months I have gone into the field 11 times for a total of around 17 hours. This is the one time everything came together. Shot with Sony a1, Sony 400mm 2.8 lens, plus 2x, 1/1600, f/7.1, ISO 1250
