This Seattle area pumpkin patch brings all the pumpkins in to one area so you don’t have to tromp through so much mud when it rains. As such the pumpkins are all nicely laid out, making for the perfect shot with a little depth to it.

Beautiful Patch, the only fox I've ever established any kind of rapport with. I think I saw two of her cubs lounging together this morning; one looks three-quarters grown, and the other half-grown. I'd worried that only one had survived of the original three. Will try to get photos of them.

From a lockdown idea to a new hobby, which is proving as adictive as photography.

I captured this image shortly after sunrise in the upper Clarée valley. Clouds moved swiftly, filtering sunlight that occasionally managed to illuminate the steep cliffs of the Cerces massif. Several marsh marigold bushes, growing in a wetland crossed by snowmelt streams, provided an ideal foreground. The vibrant yellow of the flowers echoed the pockets of light on the mountain.

Just for the girls this flower patch contains plenty of animations!

Having just exited the 1 mile 1224 yard Dove Holes Tunnel on the old Midland line to Manchester, 60017 enters into a patch of light before passing through this short tunnel under the LNWR Stockport to Buxton line at Chapel en le Frith.

I’m proud to be a member of the Phoenix Railway Photographic circle and equally honoured to be awarded ‘Photographer of the year’ in this anniversary year.

2021 represents a significant milestone in the history of the Phoenix Railway-Photographic Circle with the celebration of our 50th anniversary. Phoenix was set up in spring 1971 and was created to promote an alternative approach to railway photography. Why not take a look at the PRPC web site at www.phoenix-rpc.co.uk/index.html

Sometimes you need to patch yourself up and move on…

This is a little safety ID patch put on specialized clothing for flame resistance markers.

Kudos to the birders who figure out who these drifters are and then take the trouble to help other birders find them.

This guy was way off his patch.

"While today’s vagrant might be tomorrow’s model citizen, destined to become a colonizer and perhaps an established resident, as Grinnell (1922) asserted, most vagrants might be viewed as “failed colonization attempts”. Newton (2008: 267–299) summarized quite well the various explanations of the causes of vagrancy put forward over the past century or so. They include: normal dispersal over long distances, population growth or expansion, drift by winds, migration overshoots, deviant directional tendencies (right time but wrong direction), mirror-image migration, and reversed direction migration. While all explanations probably play a role and explain the occurrence of some vagrant individuals, we address the latter three explanations as they likely involve the vast majority of landbirds. The mirror-image misorientation theory, originally developed by DeSante (1973), and described by Diamond (1982), proposed that vagrants are misoriented by confusion of right and left in relating an inherited migration direction to a compass reference direction. Mirror-image misorientation theory accounts for observations made by DeSante (1983a) that in certain situations large-angle misorientations seem more frequent than small or intermediate deviations from the normal migration course (Alerstam, 1990). Misorientation by the wind has long been suggested as a cause of accidentals (Austin, 1971), but Thorup et al. (2012) found differently, as the authors used radio telemetry to track individual migratory flights of several species of songbirds from the Faroe Islands, approximately halfway between Norway and Iceland, far west of their normal migration route. Birds with expected easterly and south-easterly migration direction departed westward out over the Atlantic Ocean, indicating that these birds are actively flying in the “wrong” direction and that their occurrence is not caused by wind drift. However, on Attu Island, in the Aleutian Islands off Alaska, Hameed et al. (2009) found statistical evidence that the occurrence of spring Asian vagrants on this North Pacific island were correlated with storm winds from the west."

Interesting painted Patch work. on a Building's Wall.

Fish ponds? Reality is difficult to tell from above. They don't appear like rice paddies or at least there are no discernible rows of rice. What is obvious is that they were drying up as it is summer season in Makassar these days. Without a doubt, landscapes look different when you are not on the ground.

This is the little bunny that has joined our family in the garden. I call her Patch because of the white patch on the forehead. Patch is still very shy and seems content to eat our grass instead of the carrot offering.

Agapanthus, a plant native to South Africa. This one was spotted in Cicely Roche's Magnificent Gardens.

I was listening to this as I processed this photo...

Had a great weekend last week in the mountains. Went up to Chimney Rock and Max Patch. Took this shot after exploring Hot Springs, as an evening storm was headed towards the bald. #AT #maxpatch #blueridgemountains #blueridgemoments #wnc

Warmer temperatures start the process of melting the Lake Michigan shoreline ice.

Thanks for taking time to fave, comment and look at my work. I really appreciate.

Along the waterfront one can see patches on the snow covered lake; they are probably open patches of water. Patches of shrub and grass show through the snow.
