Planted by Mum the year before she passed away. Every year, when it flowers, it gives me lovely warm memories. Not sure what it’s called but it’s a climber and smells absolutely gorgeous.
Thanks for viewing 😀💕

Here's an image from last winter at a spot called Morant's Curve. As far as I know, there is no schedule for when the trains come and it's just a matter of luck if you catch one or not. It was a cold, sub-zero morning and of course, there were no signs of the train. I went down to the river to photograph some of the mist and ice up close. If you look carefully you can see my tracks way out by the water's edge. Suddenly, I heard the train whistle and all I could think was "Crap, I missed the train." Regardless, I picked up my gear and ran as fast as I could in my big winter boots back up the slope. I threw down my tripod and no sooner than I did this, the train rounded the corner. While down at the river I was doing longer exposures. In my haste to beat the train, I didn't increase my ISO for faster shutter speed. Thus, this was the only usable shot I got since the train was too blurry in the rest of the sequence. My buddy Jeremy was smart and stayed put at this location!
This granite cross is a famous landmark on Dartmoor, close to the Warren House Inn. It served/s as a marker in the moorland and is also a boundary marker for two parishes. The real age of that cross is unknown but it must be really ancient. I was lucky to have the sheep as a nice bit of extra interest at that moment.
Birch Tor, our picnic destination on our short walk that day can be seen in the background on top of the hill.

Hey look, he’s got his own spotlights! (Terrible, I know) Bit of a tough hike up in some beautiful drizzly weather, but extra-worth it with this ratty-lookin adult giving great views!

When I visit south Texas for birding, I usually encounter a bunch of Bewick’s Wrens but usually don’t end up with many photos of them. They seem to be fairly common in the area and it also feels like they take great joy in avoiding being photographed. I know that they aren’t really playing games with me but wow they can be frustrating when it comes to photography.
This photo was the result of at least an hour of effort. The wren kept darting out to beautifully well exposed perches and then back into the grass and brush before I could lock focus. Every time I got distracted with something else it would appear in a perfect location again only to disappear before a photo could be taken. It went on and on and on. Eventually I was able to grab this shot, the perch wasn’t as good as many that I had seen it go to but I was so happy to actually get a shot off that it just didn’t matter.

Altocumulus is a middle-altitude cloud genus that belongs mainly to the stratocumuliform physical category characterized by globular masses or rolls in layers or patches, the individual elements being larger and darker than those of cirrocumulus and smaller than those of stratocumulus.
Altitude: 2,000–7,000 m; (7,000–23,000 ft)
Precipitation cloud?: Virga only
Appearance: Similar to cirrocumulus, but individual segments are larger and darker
Genus: Alto- (high), -cumulus
Classification: Family B (Medium-level)
Abbreviation: Ac
A former lace factory (from 1865) now converted into apartments. It's conversion, first into offices, was a bit of a disaster; when the internal structures were demolished, the facade was insufficiently supported and much it collapsed. What is seen today, is an accurate rebuild that the local planning authority insisted on. The curved section at the front is a new addition. Talbot Street, Nottingham (2018).
Sydney Skyline from Waverton looking across Berry's bay.
Berry's Bay has historically been an active spot for boat and shipping activity, and is the site of the old Woodly's marina. Woodly's is now defunct and the precinct is under redevelopment as a controvertial marina for super yachts. In the meantime, there is still some interesting shipping in the bay.

Let's pretend Rich had got focus past the trees and nailed this beauty, lets further pretend that he'd put his beer can 300mm in his pocket so he'd be ready to get this shot, but alas.... I'm only posting it so you can get a blurry hint of the amazing sight that I had for a full ten seconds and then he was gone. Exhilarating doesn't cover it, wish I had got the shot, but dang it was beautiful. :-)
Cooper's Hawk, staring at me while I was working on my computer in Chester County, PA.
Whenever the birds go quiet and the squirrels I know that there is a raptor close by, but I was surprised when I looked up to see this one so close.

It's fun to watch the Anhingas hunt for food. They spear their prey and come up to the surface. They then maneuver to dislodge the fish by flipping it up in the air and catching it to swallow. Picture was taken very close to my favorite snag on the northwest corner of the boardwalk at Green Cay.

Franklin's Gulls at Blacks Creek Reservoir near Boise, Idaho
In breeding plumage, and sometimes in nonbreeding plumage as well, the Franklin's Gull often shows a rosy pink cast (rarely salmon) on its chest and abdomen. This color is most apparent on the shafts and bases of its feathers. The color fades as the breeding season progresses as the pigment is broken down by sunlight.

I sat out front for a short time after lunch and this Anna's came in and posed for me. I'd like to imagine that she's the one on the nest, but I can't be 2 places at once to see.
Anna’s Hummingbirds are mostly green and gray, without any rufous or orange marks on the body. The male's head and throat are covered in iridescent reddish-pink feathers that can look dull brown or gray without direct sunlight.
Anna’s Hummingbirds are a blur of motion as they hover before flowers looking for nectar and insects. Listen for the male's scratchy metallic song and look for him perched above head level in trees and shrubs.
Anna’s Hummingbirds are common in yards, parks, residential streets, eucalyptus groves, riverside woods, savannahs, and coastal scrub. They readily come to hummingbird feeders and flowering plants, including cultivated species in gardens.

263) Raffles’s Malkoha
Raffles's Malkoha, Rhinortha chlorophaea, Cenuk Kerak
Malkoha that occur from Thailand, throughout Peninsular Malaysia to Singapore. Can be found at forest edges and sometimes in plantations.
Cenuk yang ini selalu kelihatan di pinggir hutan dan kadang kadang di kawasan ladang dan kebun. Ia biasanya kelihatan separuh kerana bergerak dengan cara menyusup di celah celah daun.
403) Whitehead’s Trogon
Whitehead's Trogon, Harpactes whiteheadi, Kombuango Puru
A beautiful Trogon endemic to the island of Borneo. It is named after the British explorer John Whitehead (1860–1899) who collected natural history specimens in Borneo and elsewhere in Southeast Asia.
We spotted this Harris’s Hawk on top of a utility pole while driving home from a recent trip to the Lower Rio Grande Valley. I pulled the van over and let everyone out and the bird took off and flew right over us. It certainly was a surprise for me and luckily I had my camera in my hands and caught him about a second before he was too close to fit in the frame. It was a great way to end a very successful trip.

A male Anna's Hummingbird at Hulls Gulch, Boise, Idaho. This particular hummingbird was banded on 1/23/21. Note the white mark on its forehead and the purple and orange paint on its chest. This is part of a research project by the Intermountain Bird Observatory department at BSU to study Wintering Hummingbirds in Idaho www.boisestate.edu/ibo/2020/11/25/idahos-winter-warrior-t...
Original location: Ameliasburg, Ontario (Prince Edward County)
Roblin’s Mill was built in 1842 by Owen Roblin, the grandson of a United Empire Loyalist. When purchased by the Metro Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, the mill was scheduled for demolition. The original timbers, flooring and machinery were salvaged and moved to Black Creek Pioneer Village in 1964.
