Possibly my favourite image from my recent trip to Skye, Also an image that I have had reservations about. After chatting on various WhatsApp groups I have decided to leave the river in the image to give a bit of balance to the house, but I a still not sure
Pollet, Fanad Head, County Donegal, Ireland
The Great Pollet Arch is a striking example of the sheer power of the Atlantic Ocean as it constantly carves the cliffs along the Irish coast for millions of years, as a result it has created this enormous, unique and famous rock formation “The Great Pollet Arch”
There are only around 3 such arches in Ireland and this is the largest and most impressive of them all. It is very hard to explain how magnificent this national treasure is until you are actually standing right in front of it in true awe & wonder at its natural beauty
Hope you enjoy! Please Favourite & Follow to view my newest upcoming works, Thank you
Quite possibly the last picture of the famous lone tree with baubles.
I did think the more delicate shades of colour in these baubles did compliment the environment
Here's a song for you all www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ985LuH-6c
Possibly a juvenile female looking down on a male bird.
Early morning with light cloud helps contrasts on these vibrant birds as they rise up the reeds still fluffed up in the cooler air
Possibly the most recognizeable feature of the Milky Way for northern hemisphere views during the summer, the constellation Scorpius is shown prominently in the image from May 2020. Shot with my new polarscope, my Canon 70D, and a 50 mm lens, this is actually 3 exposures of 90 s at ISO 800 and f2.8. This was my first attempt to concentrate on a sky-only image with the new mount. Arcturus anchors the constellation, but the Messier object (globular cluster) M4 is also nearly as prominent in the constellation. The dust clouds extending over most of the constellation are also prominent. The other feature that caught my attention in this capture is the three stars (apparently) closely packed in the upper left of the main cluster of Scorpius. The color is partly a result of capturing the image low on the horizon. Taken from Oak Flats in New Mexico.
Peace and Cheers!
Possibly the cutest Black Bear cub I've ever seen, she followed mom along the beach, never strayed too far, and obeyed orders (eg. scooted up a tree on command). This is a dangerous age for bears and she needs her protective mother until she's big and strong enough to survive on her own.
This shot is almost identical to my friend Melanie's - not surprising, as we were sitting side by side and the little one held her pose for a few seconds while our shutters whirred away in burst mode. There are slight differences in background, angle of view, and the amount of water dripping from those front claws; also different camera bodies and processing, so slightly different colour balance. But essentially we walked away with very similar images. And we're both happy.
More bears to come over the next few days. I'm looking out my window this morning at a little prairie village draped with fresh snow, the sky a grey smudge. Three months ago I was sitting on barnacle-encrusted beach boulders, fanned by cool sea breezes, watching for bears and jumping salmon, entertained by great blue herons and flocks of shorebirds and eagles wheeling through the blue sky above. Being fully alive is about living fully in the present, but it's possible to visit the recent and distant past without losing track of one's life trajectory. The other day I posted a shot of my brother from 1965. Sometimes it feels to me like everything is happening at once and life is more a mosaic than a linear progression. Comforting thought.

Today was quite possibly one of the worst day around the Detroit area in regards to the weather... it rained non-stop through out the day, and we've got floods all over.. I think we got more than a couple inches of rain... found a couple of leaks in the basement wall too.. not so bad, though... but will have to fix it regardless. And so, shooting outside was out of the question...
Anyhow, I had this idea for a while but never thought of executing it... and today, I brought this up to my buddy Alfredo, and he said that I should do it. Now, I would really have liked to take these shots outside, but with no other ideas popping up, I decided to do it. Alfredo even offered up his basement studio for me to set up and shoot.. so, went to his house after work and got the shots I needed.. big, big, big thanks to Alfredo.
Now came the hard part, to somehow blend everything into one image.. Now, I'll be the first one to admit that I'm not an expert... no... I'm no where even close being considered good at Photoshop and the features it has to offer, but took up the challenge anyway.. and this is the most amount of time I've ever put into a making a single image....!!!!! I damn near gave up a couple of times and almost started to process my back-up shot.. but then, I came back to this and worked on it till I was satisfied. It may be might no means considered a good Photoshop job, but for me it is good... 'coz I've never even attempted such a task before.. this is all unchartered territory for me.
Will I take up a task like this again?? Most likely not, 'coz when it comes to processing an image, I don't like to spend more than 10-15 minutes max.. after that, I start getting annoyed and bored.. and so, I can't really believe that I actually finished this one....!!!!!!
Okay, that's it..
Possibly one of the most poignant moments* I've ever captured.
This photo makes me feel such a conflict. On one hand, I know that falcons have to eat. But that dowitcher looks so helpless. It did dive.. but the water was too shallow.
Pic number 6 of 8.

Possibly a juvenile Linnet? Blending in among the shrubs on the National Trust's Foel y Mwnt, near Cardigan, Ceredigion, Wales.
possibly a Geoglossum fallax ( Schuppige Erdzunge ) or close relative in our garden in Poole. Approx 3 cm tall
Possibly it is the most pathetic picture in my photo album, but every time I see it ... I can not stop laughing ...... Sorry!
Have a fantastic friday, and laugh with me! HFF!
Possibly one of the nicest staircases you could wish to photograph can be found in the heart of London.
possibly preparing to pupate!
Talacre - Wales (June 17)
Also probably Five-spot (Zygaena trifolii) - thanks to Eric & David for the ID!
Possibly the most maligned bird in the Uk, but I love them.
Herring Gull - Larus Argentatus
Ardmucknish Bay Scotland
Many thanks to all those who take the time to look at fave and comment on my photos. Although I do not reply to each and everyone they are all truly appreciated and welcome.
DSC_2869
Possibly my favorite image from nearly a month spent around Zion this past fall. I'm at my best when I remain open to whatever nature presents me, rather than trying to plan photographs in advance. My favorites are rarely anything I envisioned beforehand.
Self-heal and possibly Platycheirus ambigus it was so tall this flower over the grasses I wondered what it was, nice to have two in one photo.
..was what I thought as I took this shot!
The cows seemed friendly enough until I was in the middle of the field - then they formed a pincer movement, surrounding me and cutting me off from my escape route. Then they played a game of 'follow the photographer' - jostling with each other, running towards me bucking, and stopping at the last minute. Scary!
*Plus a couple in the comments below. I found it really hard to get the exposure right for a misty sunrise...*
Possibly the largest semaphore operation remaining on the Indian metre gauge lines is Pilibhit East Signal Box. Located at the "business" end of the station and controlling routes out to Tanakpur, Mailani Junction and Shajahanpur, as well as a level crossing and access to the carriage sidings and maintenance area, there's rarely an idle moment during the day.
In comparison to boxes in the UK these are pretty rudimentary regards additional technology and what you see is pretty well what you get. Throwing the levers takes some effort too and here the signalman is giving some welly (or rather sandal) returning lever 56 to its normal position.
Catch this while you can - the scene will change forever in a few months when gauge conversion starts in earnest.

Possibly an acorn.
No baiting, natural behaviour, leave no trace.

GOLDEN NIGHTS IN SAN FRANCISCO
Taken from the Marin County side of the bridge at night. We were lucky to have no fog or no clouds on this night.
The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge (756 ft or 230.4 m tall) spanning the Golden Gate, the one-mile-wide (1.6 km) strait connecting San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The structure links the American city of San Francisco, California – the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula – to Marin County, carrying both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1 across the strait. The bridge is one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco, California, and the United States. It has been declared one of the Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
The Frommer's travel guide describes the Golden Gate Bridge as "possibly the most beautiful, certainly the most photographed, bridge in the world." It opened in 1937 and was, until 1964, the longest suspension bridge main span in the world, at 4,200 feet (1,280 m)
After a big thunder shower the previous afternoon, the next morning was so hot. I thus hid in the shade for butterflies beside the puddles.
At first I would think this is a new swordtail, but it turns out to be a subspecies of Graphium aristeus.
I can only find one specimen picture of this subspecies (Graphium aristeus timocrates) in the internet.
Graphium aristeus is widespread and common, but this subspecies looks somewhat different from the subspecies I have ever seen and is more appealing to me.
Halmahera subspecies: Graphium aristeus timocrates

Possibly the last rose of the year. This one was taken at midday or thereabouts when most of the plant was in shade but this flower caught the direct sun.
possibly my biggest thrill this year was a random encounter with a gila monster while descending the hills of indian bread rocks in eastern arizona
he was about two feet long, crawling over a giant boulder in search of prey and i fully expected it to spot me and run away, i had time to adjust my exposure and shoot several detailed images of this magnificent creature, 250mm f5.6
wiki is full of fun facts if you want more
"i have never been called to attend a case of gila monster bite, and i don't want to be
i think a man who is fool enough to get bitten by a gila monster ought to die, the creature is so sluggish and slow of movement that the victim of its bite is compelled to help largely in order to get bitten."

Possibly a Variegated ladybug (Hippodamia variegata) headed straight for some aphids (Aphis nerii) on some swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) in the raingarden. Yard macro. (Very unsure of species ID for this individual. Confirm or infirm ID right here, if you can...)
Panasonic G9 with Laowa 50mm F/2.8 2X macro and diffused Nikon SB-20 flash.
