The mating display of the Western Grebe is among the most complicated of all. During the 'weed dance,' the male and female both raise their chest gently out of the water and then rub each other with water plants in their long bills. Then comes the 'rushing' phase when the birds look at each other before exploding into a sprint across the water's surface. Each grebe stands high, with its wings held back and its cobra-like head and neck rigid. The race ends with the pair diving head first into the water.
Thank you for your wonderful comment and visit. Have a great weekend folks.

Compact Rush (Juncus conglomeratus) plants growing in one of the moorland pools on Broadlee-Bank Tor below Grindslow Knoll.
Every morning this is rush hour time. But did the drivers pay attention today to the misty but sunny weather conditions? If they did they for sure enjoyed a beautiful moment. Purmerend, 2016.
Thank you very much for your visits, faves and kind comments.

Water rushing it's frantic way towards a fall. A spot near Dillon Falls near Bend in central Oregon.

I love cold air, fresh air. I love the wind in my face. I love clouds scooting across the sky. I love to be outdoors and in the wilds.
It's summer now, but actually I hanker for winter. It may not be as colourful but I'm sure it's more interesting. I tried to cool down this mid summer shot to make it look more wintry, when being outdoors in the wilds gives me a rush. By the next winter I should well and truly be in the wilds. In long dark days I will find a mood to suit.
Does anybody have the word "Snowdonia" printed on any gear or clothing? It seems you are not allowed to have "Snowdonia" printed on your T-shirt because the name has been registered by JD Williams, the Manchester based company that slapped a cease and desist order on Eryri Eco Clothing which is based in Snowdonia. Eryri tried to register the name "Eryri" (Welsh for Snowdonia) but was told it could not because it is a place name, but at the same time was told it could not use the name "Snowdonia" because JD Williams have trademarked it. Doesn't this sort of stupidity in the world make your blood boil???? Too many lawyers stink.

The most iconic view in Venice and no apologies for this "cliche" shot. It was taken from the Accedemia Bridge across the Grand Canal . True you have to fight for your Tripod spot on this one, but I think, well worth it. Waiting for a gap in the traffic was a key here so the scene didn't appear too messy. Please view large :)

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend of photography ahead. Stay safe and keep the shutters clicking my Flickr friends. Enjoy!

I’ve been dealing with a head cold since the Chiefs parade, so it was nice to be able to get out today and catch a few shots while it was snowing today. This creek is found in Parkville, Missouri and is easy access right off the road. My inital idea was to shoot the park benches in the English Landing Park with the snow falling down all around but this ended up being my favorite of the day. Just a simple straight shot from the bridge overlook. You can almost get this shot from inside your car if you wanted. Lol

…well, it's Rush Hour Someplace, but not at Convict Lake :-)
Convict Lake is a lake in the Sherwin Range of the Sierra Nevada in California, United States. It is known for its fishing and the dramatic mountains (including Mount Morrison) that surround the lake. Its surface lies at an elevation of 7,850 ft. (2,393 m).
The lake was named after an incident on September 23, 1871, where a group of convicts escaped from prison in Carson City. A posse, from Benton, led by Deputy Sheriff George Hightower, encountered the convicts near the head of what is now Convict Creek. Posse member Robert Morrison, a Benton merchant and Wells Fargo Agent, was killed in the encounter, and Mount Morrison was named after him.
It has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names.
