Possibly a tad better if viewed large - just hit L

Possibly a new friend. On my property.

It has quite the tail.

Possibly the most photographed tree in the UK. This little beauty sits in Llyn Padarn which is one of the largest natural lakes in Wales.

Having seen many photographs and vlogs of this location it was great to finally go here and see it with my own eyes.

We arrived at around 5.30am to find another two really nice photographers already set up. It was pretty grey and not expecting to much of a sunrise when out of nowhere a beautiful pop of orange appeared.

Please feel free to favourite and follow.

Possibly the Western Palearctic's answer to the hummingbird. Not quite the same agility but it does hover for moments to feed on nectar. These were present all over Jordon but not in great numbers.

Thank you for taking a look at my images.

Possibly one of the same birds as last week. This Common Snipe was enjoying surveying his territory

Possibly the Big Cat Sanctuary's most famous ambassador. She's all grown up with a lot to say for herself. A lovely girl to photograph.

What could possibly be more perfect than strolling along the shore with two rascally terriers? Nothing! Instant happy place. 😊

Leaving the familiarity of the farm behind, the three of us set off on a beach adventure, soaking up the magic of the salty ocean air and feeling the sand beneath our feet. When we returned home, the pups left sandy paw prints in the barn and I noticed that my mane had a few more sun-kissed highlights in it! As I mixed up a margarita and caught up with friends, I felt a contented peacefulness to start the new week.

I hope everyone is having a beautiful Monday, and that you all have glimmers of happy weekend memories to carry along with you as well. Sending love ... 💕

Coal Tit [Periparus ater]

Busy little birdie, collecting what is possibly cat hair, for lining the nest.

In a few weeks’ time, the babies will be around, shouting to be fed. It’s very odd to watch as the youngsters look almost twice the size of the parents, and the poor adults just flit around in an exhausting cacophony of “feed me”, “no, me”, no, MEEEE”…”and can you hurry it up!” Poor wee souls. They must be a little relieved when all the babies fledge.

For now, though, this little sweetie is flying back and forth to the nest, sourcing grass, twigs and my cats’ hair, to make it as warm and cozy as possible for the eggs/chicks.

In my garden,

South Carrick Hills

Possibly zero access to Flickr (hopefully not!) I will be away soon, off to Snowdonia with my lovely sister Margaret. I won't be on much at all from Sunday 14th July for a few days. I hope to have time to show you a few photos from there in future, if I manage any good ones !

This was taken in Plantsbrook Nature Reserve - not Wales - at the very end of May. Amazing to think how lovely the weather was then, how much rain we've had since - and now it's 'changeable'. That's the UK for you - 'changeable' in most ways !

Take care of yourselves and have a lovely time everyone !

~ Done in Topaz Studio and PicMonkey for the final details ~

And for no reason at all, apart from the fact I love Joan Armatrading and this song, here is some music for you.

Thank you for looking - every view, comment and fave is really appreciated !

Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha (along with the hare and the pika). Oryctolagus cuniculus includes the European rabbit species and its descendants, the world's 305 breeds of domestic rabbit. Sylvilagus includes 13 wild rabbit species, among them the seven types of cottontail. The European rabbit, which has been introduced on every continent except Antarctica, is familiar throughout the world as a wild prey animal and as a domesticated form of livestock and pet. With its widespread effect on ecologies and cultures, the rabbit (or bunny) is, in many areas of the world, a part of daily life—as food, clothing, a companion, and as a source of artistic inspiration. Although once considered rodents, lagomorphs like rabbits have been discovered to have diverged separately and earlier than their rodent cousins, and have a number of traits rodents lack, like two extra incisors. 45478

Possibly the last time I'll ever use the keyboard shortcut "Shift + Alt + X, Q" today 😥 I think that's the thing I'm most sad to be leaving behind 😆 I started work there as a timid 26 year old, and I'll be leaving almost 17 years later having managed to fool my colleagues and customers that I've evolved into someone confident and capable.

I've made some great friends, and worked with some brilliant customers over the years. Possibly my favourite being the chap whom I've always bickered with about politics. Discussing recent events he referred to "Jeremy Cvnt the Chancellor" on a call with one of our very straightlaced PMs. PM was not amused. I was crying. Customer sent some follow-up emails to apologise. We're staying in touch.

Anyway, thought I'd post the photo I've been looking at every day for about the last year. I've deleted it from my work laptop so the gits can't have it 😆

Bye work!

Possibly a nesting pair, these two Oystercatcher were seen at Lepe where they nest sometimes, laying their beautifully camouflaged eggs among shingle and sand.

...Possibly: Protection device, for shops and public service buildings, in France. 😓

Possibly a young one let me get really close full frame.

Catching up :)

....messing around with faster shutter-speeds.

Markeaton Park

Possibly a juvenile looking at the relatively pale iris

Forest of Bowland

One year, possibly even two years. The (first) winter is spent as an egg. Hatching occurs over a long period (no clear peak), from late June to late September.

The larval skins can be found up to several decimeters high on stems of bankside or embankment vegetation.

All kinds of stagnant and slow-flowing, often nutrient-rich and non-acidic waters. In the bankside zone or silted-up vegetation, between plant stems and dead plant material.

The larva can also develop in slightly brackish conditions.

In the Netherlands, the Migrant Hawker breeds in all types of stagnant water, including small and medium-sized ponds, pools, garden ponds, and ditches. It prefers waters with well-developed riparian vegetation, such as broad belts of reeds (Phragmites australis), cattails (Typha sp.), yellow irises (Iris pseudacorus), or rushes (Scirpus sp.), but reproduction also occurs in waters with peat moss (Sphagnum sp.), watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum), and water soldier (Stratiotesaloides). The larvae can even develop in brackish water, such as (former) drinking wells, ponds, and small pools in Zeeland, South Holland, and the Wadden Islands.

These lovely flowers just appeared in the garden a couple of years ago. They’ve since spread providing lovely Autumn colour and pollen for the bees. Please correct me if I’ve identified them wrongly.

Possibly added to Explore in September 2019

Possibly the most famous location in the UK to find street art and graffiti. Brick Lane is synonymous with the street art and graffiti scene in London. From Whitechapel to Shoreditch it runs up through the heart of the East End. It’s streets leading off towards Spitalfields in the west and Bethnal Green in the east all have their stories to tell.

Brick Lane has been at the heart of the East End since before the East End was a thing. So called because it was down this old track that bricks from the old brick works running along its length would be transported to build the burgeoning environs of London. It’s a street full of character. Layers of history lap over one another hinting at it’s past as a home for immigrants. It’s many different architectural styles tell a story of a place which has never stopped evolving.

Happy Wall Wednesday!

Possibly the most photographed bridge in the popular and beautiful area that is the "Lake District".

"It's coming. It's coming and it's coming for me. The dark shadow is intensifying. I can see it."

“He turned to her and said, “You mean, none of the things you said were true?” She didn’t respond. All day he’d been trying to work her up, to make her say something, do something, be angry at him, anything, any thing. She would not grace the culmination of all that life, all those days when she wished him… It was too late. She didn’t respond, didn’t even look up. She was thinking this pencil was the best one she ever had. Why didn’t she buy two packs. They were even on sale. She should’ve bought two packs. “See how softly it glides. There’s a kindness to it. Yes, there surely is a kindness to it.” She turned the top upwards and for a few seconds stared at it. What was she looking for? The kindness? The kindness in which the pencil moved? Perhaps, she was. Perhaps, she was looking for kindness. He turned to leave the room. He was still breathing heavily. She couldn’t bear it. She could not possibly bear to hear that breathing one more time. She thought of turning the pen and…

She said something. He turned around suddenly, “What did you say?” She looked back down at her paper. “What did you say? You said something. What did you say? What did you say?” She was working on the background now. This whole wall needed yet another coat. She was examining the plan carefully. “It’ll all come out together. It will.” She couldn’t wait. In a day or two if she kept at it, it’d come together nicely. “It’ll come together real nice.” She just needed to make sure the pencil did not run out. No, the pencil could not run out. He had left the room some time ago. She knew. She sighed and let out a sudden rush of air emptying those lungs forcefully. She just had to be careful that pencil did not run out.”

Central Alberta

another from our trip to the Capital the other week... I wanted the classic shot along the top of the bridge ….but it was unlit the time we went (possibly too late) so went for a different composition

Possibly the most photographed lighthouse east of the Mississippi. After the other 20 photographers went home, the sun had set, the lighting was less harsh, and I could actually take a shot without a person or tripod in it.

Possibly one of the best photography days of my life, so far. I took many, many shots of a couple of female Crossbills leading up to this set. At this point I was directly under her as she enjoyed the pine cones and kept a watchful eye on me. These are exported directly from Lightroom with little or no edits at all, in fact, I had to back off the lens to keep her in shot. A wonderful experience that she allowed me to share

Possibly Sparaxis flowers

Composition width 5.5cm

Macro Mondays High key Vivitar 105mm f2.5 at f2.5 PA172129

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

possibly the last pas de deux of the season

From my bedside view of the weather out of the window this morning, I see that it's grey and dull, the neighbour's maple tree blowing heroically in the wind.

It's cosy indoors catching up on Flickr friends on my tablet.

Day 15 post-op and I am remembering once more how beautiful is the quality of a good night's sleep.

Possibly my favourite star trails shot to date, definitely worth the 5 hours sat in a cave slowly freezing solid!

Possibly the best time of the year for landscape photography... Shot in the Pyrenees just above the villages of Seix and Oust

Possibly Juvenile Goldfinch

Possibly the most highly photographed bird in the northern hemisphere! 'Albert the Albatross' taking a low fly-by of the Gannet colony at Bempton Cliffs in East Yorkshire (UK) (8616)

Possibly a male its said if the flanks are more a intense colour online who knows :)

Storage Shed possibly equipment like tractors or baller, now in bad disrepair, soon to came down, shot in North Carolina.

Mythical animal made from foliage - leaves and flowers - possibly a triffid.

Looking down into Finnich Gorge and the Carnock Burn flowing past a long fallen tree now totally smooth.

The glen is a deep gorge through sandstone with very step walls and a precarious set of steps built between 150-200 years ago by the then landowner of the Killearn Estate.

The gorge often went by the name Ashdu possibly from the gaelic "uisge dubh" meaning black water. The water runs red but has a lot of very black pools.

I love the sense of being in another world down here, especially when alone. And such lushness from the ferns and vegetation growing on the gorge walls.

Possibly a Red-tailed Hawk or Red-shouldered? If anyone can positively ID, please do!

Thank you for viewing, faveing and commenting on my images. It is very much appreciated.

Possibly my last upload from my recent Dorset trip. It was a great trip away to get a feel for this part of the country and I'm looking forward to my next visit

Possibly already photographed, they all look very similar

Possibly half way up Ben MacDui now looking back along the way we've come along Glen Lui.

Ben Macdui is the UK's 2nd highest peak (second only to Ben Nevis) and stands at 1309m (4294ft). After descending from this Munro we make a climb to the 2nd Munro of the day, Carn a' Mhaim (pronounced Carn-ah-Vame) at 1037m (3402ft).

Possibly a giant croquet lawn...

Quite a pretty fungus! Will be going back to location after work to see if I can find it again to collect (for ID confirmation).

Halesfield - Shropshire

I love these flowers, but I don't know what they are, hence the name of the photograph. To me, they look like a painting, possibly because of the subtly shaded colours and the dark, quiet, understated mood.

Possibly one my favourite shot form my recent visit to Thornham in Norfolk. Lovely golden tones..we love this nature reserve and creek hey hum 2023!!

possibly a 'dying breed'...one of the dwindling number of original residents of Bokaap

Spreading Dogbane Flowers

Looks candy-like but toxic to mammals if eaten. This might possibly be my new favorite flower!

Possibly the same stonechat that starred in my last image, this time posing against a different pretty background.
