This chair was set out in the hallway of my building. Someone didn’t want it. I’d see it disappear and then reappear a few days later. Guess people were taking it in, then changing their mind; it never seemed to be accepted anywhere for long. Maybe the chair was rude.

These four contestants didn't make the final of "Dancing with the Birds".

 

A Peacock, Grey Heron and two Muscovy Ducks looking rather dejected! Better luck next year guys!

 

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images.

An abandoned house I found on a drive a couple of days ago.

On my last photo trip I visited a lot of beautiful places in the United Kingdom but the Cavern of Lost Souls was the by far most intense and awesome place to see.

Used as a dumpster for unused vehicle for many years, this cavern became the most impressive lost place I have seen by now. Finally standing there and enjoying this one of a kind location made all the efforts for planning, the costs to get there and the high risk by navigating through the tunnel system and free climbing a 30 meters drop down in the pitch black totally worth. A view never to forget and an exploration I loved very much.

One of many!!!

HMAM 😊😊😍

 

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️

This old dead tree was full of birds today, and it **is** a favorite of the Acorn Woodpeckers. But this guy seemed to toss this one off as a reject.

Blimey, my face has turned a startling red colour from the post production.

Enjoyed an evolving sunset that shifted from a vibrant yellow to these purple and pink tones and then morphed into fiery orange and red shades as the sun fully set. Felt so blessed to have been able to take in these special skies. To me experiences like this in nature point to a loving Creator.

This eagle tried 3-4 times to swallow this skeletal portion of the head but couldn't get it to go down and finally spit it out. You might be able to see the eyeballs still attached to the carcass. It did eat the rest of this kokanee.

Thanks for visiting!

It isn't often that a catch gets a reprieve so late in the game but the gulf menhaden seen beneath the Brown Pelican's left wing will have quite a story to tell when it gets back to its school on Armand Bayou.

Thank you for stopping by! I appreciate it.

As I came across this scene, several options to immortalize it sprang to mind. I could invert myself and the camera and thus obtain the right-side-up version of this White-breasted Nuthatch. Intriguing, but given my advanced age and continually decreasing agility, I decided against this. Another, equally important, reason against this approach was that I did not want anybody to get the idea that it would be a good thing to come up with a new helmet law for photographers out in the field. Yes, you are welcome. The other option, naturally, was to just take the shot and then invert the image in Lightroom or similar software. Much more appealing. Well, I did end up using this option but decided to leave things in their natural state, mostly for documentation purposes. The advantage here would be that if I ever decided to join a group, the image would be less likely to be rejected due to my obsessively fiddling with the settings in Lightroom. This just recently happened to a bird photographer Down Under and has been weighing heavily on my mind ever since :-)

Inside Out – Traveling Wilburys

 

There are a lot of photos from my California trip last month that are in rejected folder for various reasons. This is one of them that went through heavily postprocess just for my amusement :)

Thank you everyone for your visit, favorites and comments.

 

So we were standing down by the fire pit lighting off fireworks, like typical us. My Dad, my cousin and I. Suddenly my Dad decided we should run back at the deck and watch the rest from there. I tried to convince him that wasn't a smart idea, but he wouldn't listen, like typically. In a split second the firework miss fired and headed right as me. My camera was right next to me, basically if it wouldn't have got a rebound off my camera and out of my armpit, I bet I would be armless tonight or at least losing part of it.

 

Ugh.....scary experience and very painful.

Lately I became so critical of my own work, nearly nothing made it to Flickr anymore. It all had to fit together, be perfectly artful and artfully imperfect, have mystique and pose questions, break the boundaries of photography, express more than what was visible, all of that. I was so hung up on making "art" that I finally forgot to just enjoy myself. A picture like the one above didn't make it anymore. What a shame, because I think it's beautiful in its own right.
