⭐️Thank you in Advance for your kind ‘Faves’ and visits they are so very much appreciated. 👍
I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’. If I do not reply to your 'Comment', it is not because I am ignoring you, it's because I have not seen the 'Comment'.
Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image, and I see a notification)
Will this finally be the year that I photograph my slides from 18.5 years ago, when I worked in the Antarctic?
This is a juvenile Magellanic penguin, at Stanley, on the Falkland Islands.
I'm intending to use my macro lens to photograph each slide, although it's tricky getting everything set up (to keep everything aligned, and I probably need a better light source than a white screen on my mobile phone).... and then there's 18.5 years of dust and fluff to clone off each slide!
If anyone has any tips for the set-up, I'd love to hear. I've been Googling, but I can't see anything helpful, so far. Ideally, what would be nice, would be some contraption that would screw onto the end of my macro lens, and hold the slide at the other end, so that the slide is properly aligned with the end of the lens, and the correct distance away, but I can't seem to find such a thing.
The dramatic backdrop to the Gentoo Penguin Colony on Danco Island is an indication of the endurance of these birds.
These small Penguins hike some considerable distance up the rocky slopes to get to this point, just to find bare ground on which they lay their eggs and raise their chicks.
It is such an exposed area open to the elements of the Antarctice weather which can be pretty challenging (as you can see from the background).
Sneak peek of the Christmas decorating I’ve been doing around the new house!
These adorable sliding penguins from Chez Moi were perfect for my staircase banisters.
It finally warmed up enough for the king penguins to go outside for their walk at The Calgary Zoo. The temperature must be between -25 and +5 degrees Celsius with little to no wind.
Today happens to be Penguin Awareness Day. I am aware that penguins are awesome!

A close-up at the Penguin Hard-suits. The antennae were added for this picture and they were actually supposed to be on the original model. I built these near the start of DA4, and was waiting to use them when a category came around. You can find the vehicle these guys go with here: www.flickr.com/photos/188495981@N05/50123999791/in/photos...

This was taken in the under-water viewing area at the new penguin enclosure at Edinburgh Zoo. Groups of penguins dive deep into the water, do an underwater circuit of their pool with bubbles streaming from their feathers, then zoom back to the surface where they jump neatly out and land, feet first, on the bank!
Thank you, everyone, for taking the time to visit, comment and fave - I appreciate it!
The breeze catches the yellow and black 'punk hairdo' of the Rockhopper penguin with its short, stubby red bill.
The penguins of the New Orleans Aquarium is one of the best parts of the tour. Spend some time looking at these little fellas.

This, the smallest Antarctic penguin, gets its name from the two-footed jumps it makes as it moves about its colony.
My favorite King Penguin shot of the trip.
Notice how emaciated this bird is. The keel of the breastbone stands out, flanked by sunken sides. It is likely on its way back to the sea to feed, after either molting or a shift incubating an egg.

The King Penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus) is the second largest species of penguin at about 11 to 16 kg (24 to 35 lb), second only to the Emperor Penguin. King Penguins eat small fish, mainly lanternfish, and squid and rely less than most Southern Ocean predators on krill and other crustaceans. On foraging trips they repeatedly dive to over 100 metres (330 ft), and have been recorded at depths greater than 300 metres
Well I'm now back from my trip to Antarctica and this is the first of quite a few penguin shots that I will upload. I was totally enchanted by King Penguins as they seemed to treat humans as if we were penguins. If I sat on the beach they would come up to me and have a look, as this curious individual was doing. This was photographed on the island of South Georgia; a subantarctic island.
