Barrel and copper beech trees on the avenue leading into Powerscourt Estate, Co. Wicklow.
I loved doing the bus tour on this trip, since we were able to see so much of the city. The only downside is that most of the pics are just of buildings. But at least they're cool buildings with cool perspectives.

The deep glow of twilight illuminates fog, surrounding a Whitetail buck who reaches for a licking branch while making a scrape.
One of those amazing moments when weather, light, and behavior all come together.

After rubbing scent on the oak branch this whitetail buck scraped the ground underneath. He will check it frequently to see if another buck is marking over him.
Love this shot , so pleased with it, just clicked at the right time. Love the gull at the bottom, it’s legs are wide apart
Some trouble from my camera wherein it died and came back to life with brainmeat problems for a while. This does not aid me in displaying the amazing humans i get to play with.
This whitetail buck is rubbing his preorbital glands on leaves above a scrape. Scrapes are always made under an overhead branch so this can take place. There is some controversary about this activity as to whether scent is being applied or it is merely pleasurable to rub while working a scrape. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

QBX003, 8037 and CM3302 attract the last moments of sun in the area, as they work 3112 up Morrisons Hill bound for Sydney.

Thank you everyone for visiting, commenting and fav'ing - very much appreciated!
I took this shot from the top of the Empire State Building in Manhattan, looking North-East. I like the uniform look and the straight lines.

Today's prompt was Scrape. A paint scraper. I honestly couldn't decide what to draw for the prompt. A scraped knee, nails scraping on a blackboard or someone scraping the bottom of a barrel. In the end, I was fairly pleased with the sketch, but the prompt left very little room for manoeuver.
Young Black Bear cub showing some signs of scuffle. Hopefully they're just from some rough play with his brother and not from an adult male.
Columbia tower on a moody day. Cloud cover was perfect for what I had in mind, execution is a little on the iffy side. I'm not in love with the composition but it gives me a good idea what I would like to try in the future.
A young buck comes into a scrape in early morning light. Only to be run off by a much bigger 8-pt. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Deer are very scent oriented. It's probably their most powerful sensory tool, more so than ears and eyes. This week we observed a young buck come along this edge and rub scent on to branches.
Now this bigger 9-point is rubbing scent from glands near his eyes over the other buck's scent. Soon the tarsus glands on their hocks will begin flowing and they will urinate down their legs, letting the urine flow over the tarsus gland. They will scrape and paw the ground and create a scrape. It's always under a low hanging branch that will have scent as well. It will be interesting to see what other bucks show up along this scrape line.

This buck is sniffing the leaves and rubbing scent on the leaves above a scrape. Four scrapes in this area. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Vestrahorn. Another place that makes you work for your shot. This day we risked the weather to go and shoot in the east coast. For as long as we were there, the forecast for this area was wind, snow and rain. I decided to chance it and drive out there early one morning to find there in fact was no snow or rain. But there were two significant challenges. The first was the wind. Lots of it. For those who haven't seen black volcanic sand, it is actually very fine, more so than normal sand. So when the wind is moving at 40km/hr, the sand goes with it like a moving carpet. I stalked the dunes for a good hour, trying to find a spot that was not going to shred my lens. There was one spot i particularly liked, and i stood in front of my camera, blocking it from the wind, for a good 30 mins, but the wind never let up. The further i went into the dunes, the more "bearable" the wind became. As you can see from the foreground, the grass is still moving at a decent speed. I am still finding black sand in my bags and clothes.
The second challenge was the clouds. I took a number of shots just hoping that i could capture the tips of the mountain. After image stacking quite a few pictures, i was mostly successful.
The Hague's tallest buildings seem to scrape the dark clouds, while the sun also played a large role in illuminating the foreground.
i felt like such a tourist taking pictures of the empire state building...*sigh*
but i liked the fog too much to pass up.
EDIT: i AM a new yorker.

I took surprisingly few images in New York. I simply enjoyed being there and pounding the streets.
It reminded me a little of when I first moved to London and enjoyed simply wandering from one location to another, finding out how the city weaves itself together, where the nice little streets are that you can amble down in peace, and which are the main veins that can get you quickly from A to B.
I enjoyed stopping at different cafes, restaurants and bars to see what vibe different areas had. I almost went to the Bronx too, but had to catch an earlier flight out due to weather and my plans for the last day were scuppered.
Whatever I did and wherever I went, I always seemed to find myself back at this building though, the beautiful Flatiron.
I was also drawn back to the Calexico burrito stand which is at the base of this iconic building. A wonderful burrito that I look forward to having again on my next trip there.
Have a great weekend everyone.
