Another portrait shot from our trip to the Bioparc in Valencia, Spain, back in 2014. This Gorilla looked deep in thought.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.

Working on some more shots of the flowers around the property you just can't get away from the buttercups that lie under foot. Here I found one that was about to open and thought I'd give it a portrait shot inside. I chose a single focus on the front petal and liked that.
A wonderfull clear night down on Portland with the Milky Way clearly visible with the naked eye....... but this shot definitely came with some challenges, firstly the lighthouse itself taking about 15 secs for the light to do a full rotation, which only left around 8 secs to capture the Milky Way before getting burnt out by the light, and then the composition, taking 3 portrait shots to stitch together to get everything in without a leaning lighthouse! Overall I am pretty pleased with the result!
Portland Bill Lighthouse is a functioning lighthouse at Portland Bill, on the Isle of Portland, Dorset, England. The lighthouse and its boundary walls are Grade II Listed.
As Portland Bill's largest and most recent lighthouse, the Trinity House operated Portland Bill Lighthouse is distinctively white and red striped, standing at a height of 41 metres (135 ft). It was completed by 1906 and first shone out on 11 January 1906. To date, the lighthouse guides passing vessels through the hazardous waters surrounding the Bill, while also acting as a waymark for ships navigating the English Channel.

One of my favourite pano's I took over a couple of hours here. I don't know what the pink flowers are in that little dip but it was too early for thrift ? In some other shots further along the Bluebells were out but looking a bit battered....
The Rumps is a twin-headland promontory at the north-east corner of Pentire Head in north Cornwall, United Kingdom. The promontory is formed from hard basaltic rock and projects north into the Atlantic Ocean. Its headlands lie east-to-west.

Longer panorama way back in my gallery and showing an earlier but wider view can be seen if you click on the link below:)
This was taken on 16 of November in the same trip when I took my portrait shot of the same location.
Portrait shot of a cormorant. This one stood out to me because it appears to be missing half of its upper bill.
I immediately started wondering whether or not it would even be able to survive with this handicap. That question got answered when I saw it pick a fish out of the water a bit later on.
A portrait shot of a tree swallow staring intensely at the photographer. This is a similar shot to my recently posted Barn Swallow image as they are both perched on the boardwalk railing at John Heinz NWR. I was basically at the minimum focusing distance my lens would allow, about 5 feet, when I clicked the shutter. You can see how shallow the dof is by looking at the one inch line of focus on the boardwalk rail. Everything else is blown-out. View large for tree swallow detail.
Enjoy the day ~!
Portrait shot of a northern gannet. For the first time ever I was nearly too close. Taken from the back of the boat while on a trip around Les Sept-Iles, Brittany, France.
This was taken at bempton cliffs, I love the colouring inside that beautiful beak and couldn't resist this shot
We regularly have visiting foxes in our garden.
This one stayed long enough for me to capture a shot through the window.
See the link below to see what happened 3 days later, in the early evening.....

This is an unposed portrait (shot with permission) of a homeless man in Bristol. He was sat outside a city centre shop with all his worldly possessions plus dogs.
Unfortunately for him, the helping hand in this instance that looks like an 'angel' touching his shoulder, is that of a shop window mannequin behind him. I didn't consciously notice the juxtaposition at the time so it was not staged.
There are many fake beggars on Britain's streets. I don't know this man's personal story (although I know he is known to homeless outreach workers) BUT that something in his eyes cannot be faked. I know he is in pain. And that makes me feel something.
7 portrait shots.
This shows the extent of the flood waters that pass through this field and hence the footbridge used to access the church.
Have been trying out processing in Luminar 4 and have found it very impressive.
Taking a bit of getting to know ones way around.

Baby squirrels are really curious and some of them are not shy at all. This is Trick and he came as close as about one meter (Squirrels-2020-9070.jpg)
Kirkenes Panorama taken with 24 Portrait shots (750MB RAW file)
Kirkenes [ˈçirkəˌnɛːs] (Finnish: Kirkkoniemi, Kven: Kirkkoniemi, Northern Sami: Girkonjárga, Russian: Киркенес) is a town in Sør-Varanger Municipality in Finnmark county, in the far northeastern part of Norway. The town lies on a peninsula along the Bøkfjorden, an arm of the large Varangerfjorden. The main church for Kirkenes is Kirkenes Church, located in the Haganes area of the town.
The 2.15-square-kilometre (530-acre) town has a population (2013) of 3,498; which gives it a population density of 1,627 inhabitants per square kilometre (4,210/sq mi). When the neighbouring suburban villages of Hesseng, Sandnes, and Bjørnevatn are all included with Kirkenes, the urban area reaches a total population of almost 8,000 people.
The area around Kirkenes was a common Norwegian–Russian district until 1826, when the present border was settled. The original name of the peninsula was Piselvnes ("Pis River headland"), but this was changed to Kirkenes (meaning "church headland") after the Kirkenes Church was built here in 1862.
Kirkenes is located in the extreme northeastern part of Norway on the Bøkfjorden, a branch of the Varangerfjorden, which is a vast bay connected to the Barents Sea near the Russian–Norwegian border. The town is situated about 400 kilometres (250 mi) north of the Arctic Circle.
Unlike the vast majority of Norway, Kirkenes is located east of the neighbouring country of Finland. Because of this, travelling directly west from Kirkenes actually changes the time zone forward instead of backward, as it usually does. Travelling directly east from Kirkenes (into Russia) changes the time zone forward by an hour in summer, but by two in winter. When Russia implemented permanent daylight saving time between 2011 and 2014, there was a three-hour difference travelling forward from the eastern part of the municipality to westerly Russian areas during winter. It also shares time zones with Galicia in Spain, in spite of a solar time difference of 2½ hours.
One can drive 100 kilometres (62 mi) south, and walk 10 kilometres (6.2 mi), into the Øvre Pasvik National Park, reaching the border point of the three countries (Muotkavaara), where the three time zones meet. There are only a few such places in the world. It is forbidden, according to both Norwegian and Russian law, to circumambulate the border marker, as the only lawful route across the Norwegian–Russian border is at the border control at Storskog.
Kirkenes is located just east of the 30th meridian east. As a result, it is further east than Istanbul, which marks one of the European borders with Asia. The easternmost point of Norway and the municipality is also at a point further east than Saint Petersburg. Kirkenes is also several meridians east of the Gulf of Bothnia.

Portrait shot of a really clean and cute Dwarf Burrowing Skink (Lerista timida). Shown here is an adult at a diminutive 65mm in total length that I raked up while the lizard was sheltering in the loose soil beneath a dense leaf-litter mat accumulated under a Gidgee Tree (Acacia cambagei). This tree was growing along a shallow, ephemeral watercourse, meandering through an arid and stony valley in the breakaway country around the township of Coober Pedy. Coober Pedy is located in central South Australia.
Portrait shot of this almost prehistoric looking bird!
Taken on a stroll around the UQ University Lakes.
Another portrait shot pulled from a much larger image. The zoom in has made it impossible for this finished work to be expanded or seen any larger than it is, without losing resolution. So in a sense these 5 images, all derived the same way, if printed, would probably end up being smaller pieces, miniatures by comparison.

Self portrait (Shot courteously snapped by my bro Joe & processed by self) during our last photo-shoot at Selmun ie. the location of my last two downloads - And the toy is ???? .......
Thank you for your time to view.
Canada’s official bird is the Gray Jay. I wondered what made this bird so unique for this honourable title. Then I read that this bird’s habitat is mainly in Canada and no other country except for a few small pockets in the US. It is also found in every province and territory in Canada but has never been named a Provincial Bird. It is also a very hardy bird we see all year including winter. It has even been found to nest in February and hatch young ones during a blizzard. Now that sounds like a real Canadian. This friendly guy we saw on our drive home through Algonquin Park. He had just been preening himself in the warm sun so he was fluffed up for the portrait shot. Happy Wing Wednesday!
A little waterfall not far from Dub's Quarry.. High Stile Range in the background.
I never think portrait shots work on Flickr, but here goes :-)
Another portrait shot of Pretty Bird Poppy Parker, quite the prickly one for this cutesy Poppy collector. The jury is still out on whether she stays here, so to speak. :)
Portrait shot ....the last in this set of Jackdaw who visited my balcony!
Many thanks for your comments and faves. I really appreciate it - deaR ♥‿♥
Just a picture of Criitter laying outside. I have practicing my portrait shots ands try to make them better but as you can see she is getting annoyed at mommy for taking so many pictures lately .LOL! Have a great evening everyone ! Hugs!
Great views of the Eastern Sierra Nevada abound along the Buttermilk Country Loop near Bishop. Photomerge of five handheld portrait shots.
Hope everyone has a good Wednesday. Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments.

Dixon Meadow Preserve, Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania
Like Gollum (in The Lord of The Rings) a very "sneaky" bird.
Some viewers may note (if you compare this image with images IMG 2005, IMG 2036 and IMG 1987) that in those images I removed the light brown blade of aquatic grass that stretches across the lower third of the image. For this portrait shot, I left the blade of grass in the image.
Portrait shot of a juvenile Peregrine Falcon.
To say I got lucky this day was an understatement. After watching the parents do food passes to the young I couldnt believe my luck when the young falcon landed on the cliff top some 5 metres from where I was stood on the footpath.
A day I will never forget.
Many thanks as always to everyone who takes the time to look, like and comment on my pictures its much appreciated.
