Stavo facendo il censimento degli uccelli svernanti per la mia regione e vedere una specie così rara, almeno per noi abruzzesi, è stata davvero una fortuna. Non sarà bella come quando è in abito estivo, ma fotografarla in un porto abruzzese solo con il telo mimetico, è stata comunque una grande soddisfazione. Abruzzo - Italia
Red-throated Loon. I was making a census of the wintering birds for my region and to see such a rare species, at least for us Abruzzese, was really a fortune. It will not be as beautiful as when it is in summer dress, but photographing it in a port of Abruzzo only with the camouflage cloth, it was still a great satisfaction. Abruzzo - Italy
I've been meaning to take some shots for the CLiC group for some time but couldn't really find the time to actually do it until yesterday! So I was pretty pleased to see this one turning out to my satisfaction with just a tiny increase of contrast and no other treatment (the tones are as captured).
This one's for you, Heidi, with a very big Thanks for providing the inspiration and incentive :))) I hope you like it
can be shown in many ways
if it is shown in golden light
then I just know it is right
the golden light touches your soul
on the deepest level
we need to be satisfied, we need satisfaction, its as simple as that - and as difficult as that ❤
it is a gift
a gift where we can say yes thank you
or we can say no thank you
It's all up to us
we really do have lots of choices in life
some more difficult than others
for me
It's not difficult
I know
what I want

I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no
When I'm drivin' in my car
And a man comes on the radio
He's tellin' me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination
I can't get no
Oh no no no
Hey hey hey
That's what I say
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no
When I'm watchin' my TV
And a man comes on and tells me
How white my shirts can be
But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarettes as me
When I'm ridin' round the world
And I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that
And I'm tryin' to make some girl
Who tells me baby better come back maybe next week
'Cause you see I'm on a losing streak
I can't get no
Oh no no no
Hey hey hey
That's what I say
Or - an accidental discovery.
There is a certain satisfaction in discovering through experience the underlying reality of something we take for granted. I mean, we all know what a mile is right - 1760 yards. Well, actually no, it wasn’t that at all, that calculation must have come later, the mile stood alone prior to that.
On my long walks with my guide dog, and later with just my white stick, to pass the time I used to count my paces - sad I know, but I can’t see the scenery, so it kept me awake. I used to count 100 paces on just one foot, on each finger and thumb, and when I had done all digits - 1000 paces, I would transfer a coin to another pocket. As time went on, on certain walks , if there was a marker nearby like a large tree, a road or whatever. - something I could pick up, I would mark the 1000 paces or sometimes 500. One day I went in the car with my wife to see how far a particular walk was and as we drove I asked the distance at the markers I had accumulated, and to my surprise, they coincided almost exactly with 1 mile, or half mile intervals! The fact is - and you can verify this, 1000 strides on one foot is one mile, it is very accurate, to within 20 or 30 paces for me. I am of average height and stride. One hand half a mile, two hands a full mile.
This must be how the distance of one mile came into being, people in times of yore, needed to know how long a journey would take and therefore a standard was set by which anyone could gauge their progress. All you needed was 10 fingers and some stones in a pocket.
As a small boy I can remember seeing very old stone roadside markers - milestones, ’40 miles to London’ or 50 miles to London’ or which ever town, they must be all gone now. Somebody - with a pocket full of stones - must have paced those markers, 100 paces x 10 fingers x 10 stones = 10 miles. He would then leave some sort of marker by the wayside, and later along comes the horse and cart with the large stone markers and drops them off at each marked point.
The measurement of a yard has nothing to do with a mile. The name tells us that, it was obviously a measurement for small pieces of land and fields a *yard*. One day somebody said I wonder how many yardsticks make one of those mile things? They had someone - probably several people walk the mile, then lay down a yard stick at the starting point and discovered you had to flip it 1759 times to reach the mile.
So a mile is not a measurement of yards and feet, it is a measurement of hands and feet, and that photograph above, of all the cow parsley lining the road was taken precisely 3500 paces (on one foot) from my front door, or exactly, three and a half miles……

The New Year is close now & I'm excited to see what it will bring. 2024 was an interesting one:trips to Fiji, a south Pacific cruise, some outback camping, welcomed a new grandson, had a minor TIA , rowed in excess of 1,500kms on indoor rower, bootcamp workouts every second day, (probably why
I tore my rotator cuff), started karate (65 isn't too old to start hey?), numerous trips to the coast's beaches & even had a haircut ;)
Anyway here's my attempted analogy between a coastal walk and the New Year, (it's a bit of a stretch, apologies in advance ;) .......
Wandering along this rockshelf feels a lot like journeying through 2024. There’ve been slippery, mossy patches where footing wasn’t always steady—those tricky moments that kept us on our toes (and sometimes on our butts). There’ve been sharp, rocky bits, demanding resilience, and a good pair of shoes. But there’ve also been stretches of soft, golden sand, moments of ease and calm that remind you life isn’t all rough edges. And that sense of satisfaction of moving on and making ground. The rocks & vegetation are so many shapes, colours, and textures, much like the unexpected turns and delights of the past year.
Now, as I near the headland, anticipation builds. What’s waiting just around that corner? A hidden cove? A wild, windswept beach? An "influencer" taking selfies (they do seem to be everywhere), a mermaid or pirate ship? Maybe another rockshelf to navigate. That’s the thrill of it—like stepping into 2025, you don’t know exactly what’s ahead, but you can’t wait to find out. Bring it on!
Happy New Year everyone !
Many thanks for every fave and comment, I appreciate them all!

Landscape Photography is easy......anyone can give it a try, it's so accessible. Head out the door with your smart phone and start shooting. You don't need tripods and filters to get great shots. There's so many locations where you can grab great shots just by sticking your camera out the window of the car.
Landscape Photography is hard....and mastering it can take a lifetime. There are technical issues that must be learned like compositions rules, camera settings and exposure triangle. You need an artistic vision to tell a story. However, if you take on these challenges you will be rewarded with great images and a deep sense of satisfaction that will keep you wanting more. It doesn't hurt to be lucky either.
Whichever of the above is true, if you catch the bug, spending time in the Great Outdoors into interesting locations promotes a more active lifestyle with virtually no downside and your overall wellbeing will be increased.
Almost done, you can see the tail a bit yet, but there is no "You should see the one that got away" story to this montage. It was an interesting and compelling view of nature!

At last I managed to get shots of the young swallows being fed. Previous attempts were curtailed by dull weather, fence posts and a car tooting behind me as I was blocking the road
Really struggled to think of something original and different for this theme on Crazy Tuesday. I tried a few different ideas but none of them seemed to work, especially not to my satisfaction.
Gave up for a while and decided, mid-afternoon to boil an egg as a snack as feeling a bit peckish and whilst the water was boiling away, the thought struck me that maybe there might be a suitable ‘motion blur’ shot in the pan, not just the egg!
I took some shots and, lo and behold I arrived at some images that might prove suitable, I thought. I chose this one and after a little cropping decided that it was different and in my mind, quite original. The water surface appears smoothed out, adopting an oily look and getting rid of the individual bubbles, small and big. In my mind it looks a bit like transparent lava in the mouth of a volcanic crater! I know, I have a weird brain!
See what you think!
I will beat her! I've lost to her before but not this time!
P.S What is it with mean spirited people who love to pick on the soft hearted? I read about here on Flickr and it happens in real life too. Get a life!
For the people that get picked on, I understand; It is disheartening when it happens you feel deflated and shocked but then you fight back by not changing who you are. That is the only way to win or they keep doing it because they're miserable so they want to make you just as miserable. Don't give them the power or satisfaction.
For the sociopaths; If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. The world doesn't need to hear it.
Discovering this wonderful flower in alpine grasslands over 2000 metres a.s.l. is always a satisfaction. If the background is the impressive Sas del Valfreida (3002 m asl) the atmosphere is really magic.

Atticus sure loves it here..fresh mountain air, a new ball and just being outdoors. In his opinion, no comparison to our city living when we aren't here.

Hi, Me again...
In April 2021, I received my first 35mm as a gift from a fellow photography enthusiast. I seriously had no idea what I was doing but I immeditely knew I enjoyed it. The sound alone was enough to give me shivers!! Since then, I have shot a few rolls of film, find myself in possession of 5 new cameras, managed to process 2 rolls at home, 'scan', and now I'm ready to put them out there.
I don't ever profess to be a perfect photographer. If fact, I'm usually incredibly insecure. Digital photography always had me seeking perfection. It is silly because life isn't perfect, but regardless, I feared things like proper exposure and unconventional subjects. (Yes....insert eye roll here!)
The thing about film though, it has given me freedom it be imperfect, appreciate 'flaws' and embrace everyday life in an authentic and unpolished way. Film has given me permission to love the imperfect and see it for all its beauty. Also, the fact that my hands are on it from start to finish....well that... that alone gives me immense satisfaction.
So.....I'm saying be ready for the perfectly imperfect. And just to prove it...I resisted the urge to edit out my chicken pox scars. :-) I'm going to be brave and start sharing what I've been working on and what I love.
Here goes....

You might see a pattern in my work!
I love back-lit golden sunshine shots.
Especially with colourful flowers or leaves. They might be a bit repetitive but they bring me joy and satisfaction.
And that's what a hobby should be about - doing something you love and not caring if it's the same old same old.
If it makes you happy, go for it!
The Red headed Woodpecker is showing up a lot at the feeders lately. Quite frequently I can spot him flying to one of the pine trees in our backyard and looking round before taking a final swoop down to one of the feeders.
I can only guess he's checking out the competition, or making sure his favorite feeders have been properly filled to his satisfaction.
