SEEING GREEN

Moorhen, Bushy Park, Dublin.
This was taken in a narrow shady part of the pond between the shore and the island where there is a lot of ivy and other greenery.
Pretty hardy plants, a rocky shoreline, dark sand, foamy sea on the way out to the blue south pacific ocean and a cloudy sky.
Printed this but the lower part was a bit too dark ... here's a humorous photo of Frank holding it in the garden :)
As lovely a view as this is, I'm certain that the farmer would prefer to look out on a green foreground from his pea crop rather than one dominated by the red of poppies!
First poppy field I've seen in ages - and it's only about 3 miles from home.
One of a flock of 70 or so birds that turned up to feed on trees in the car park of the local Miners Welfare Club, which were part of the major irruption to Britain in winter 2016/2017. I remember seeing the sighting on Facebook Notts Birders page at 10:30 am that morning and made a rapid dash up there in the car that lunchtime, for a very entertaining and fairly fruitful afternoon's photography; all the more entertaining (?!) for having to look out for and dodge welfare club members driving in (and out!) from time to time.
Thanks for viewing and thank you for your comments and faves
I can never pass up a reflection! This was taken on a wonderfully calm evening at Frank Lake, Alberta.

Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus) I was concentrating on this blue tit having a dip when a siskin photobombed the scene!
When traveling to the Hawaiian Island of Kauai, I was stunned by the number of chickens popping up everywhere. It wasn't until I returned to the mainland that I learned the history of the resident fowl.

Looking backwards through binoculars at two women looking through binoculars... I think they are birdwatchers.

This wooden carving has stood on our living room shelf for a long time now! Depending on lighting it can look either angry or calm, this is definitely on the lock down angsty side!

Another shot with the only decent sky of the week at Widemouth Bay Cornwall, looking towards Black Rock. I love it when skies totally change in a few minutes, you have to work so quickly, dashing around looking for options. Seeing you around is a beautiful track by Georgia Ruth, and suits this beautiful sky really well.

Looking north west towards rain showers from our hotel on the eastern shore of Osoyoos Lake. We spent a few days visiting wineries in the south Okanagan for our 30th anniversary.
Taken early one morning on our recent road trip at Lakes Entrance. These 2 swans were preening themselves and I have to wait for the right moment when both lifted their heads up. You could still see the down feathers stuck in their beaks.
