I agree with the old Ralph, of course - even if ... sometimes it's not bad to have some! ;-D
For JiBBR - looking forward to see you soon!

Algunas veces y sólo algunas veces, tienes la sensación de que todos los factores se han conjugado para poder sacar fotografías de vuelos de especies complicadas.
Todo eso sucedió en esta fotografía de archibebe claro ( Tringa nebularia) en vuelo, pero quizá los más sorprendente es lo que menos se sospecha, y es que no voló hacia el mar, lo hizo hacia las dunas, dejándome este fondo que permite contrastar toda su anatomía.
Sometimes and only sometimes, you have the feeling that all the factors have come together to be able to take flight pictures of complicated species.
All this happened in this photograph of a greenshank (Tringa nebularia) in flight, but perhaps the most surprising is what is least suspected, and that is that it did not fly towards the sea, it did towards the dunes, leaving me this background that allows us to contrast all its anatomy.
Sometimes you can just take a deep breath...closing your eyes...and have such beautiful thoughts....a nice moment to enjoy
Sometimes, I look through old photos and what I didn’t realize was there was actually present all along…that growing unease that something wasn’t quite right…this was 2019 but there were times you could sense it in the sigh of a parent and the look of anxiety in one’s eyes. And, you know you hold your loved ones close and you know you’d do anything to make sure they survived even a pandemic.
And I look at this photo and I hope they are still alive. The child may be 6 or 7 by now. We’ve learned quite a bit about the world and ourselves if we’re still breathing. And, in every lift there is an “I love you” and in every gesture there is, “I promise I’ll protect you.” But, in every exhalation, there’s a feeling that the world is bigger than all of us and we’ll never be the same again.
We are all funny little beasts when you really think about it and we all share a space in a vast and impossible world.

I'll be over here ringing in the new year with an elephant sized cold and puzzling into the wee hours with family. Willing to bet Dad and I finish it. Master puzzlers for the win!!!!
Xoxo all you lovely butteflies and night moths :)
....beautiful scenery doesn't need a caption to it - enjoy the view (actually - I'm bad at captions) ;)
I like to watch TV in my recliner.
It always changes to the same show in black and white! ;)

Also, Ernestine and I went to Greensboro last week to see her ophthalmologist. Both eyes tested better than ever! Eye drops twice a day is a small effort for these results.
Sometimes when hiking the woods are alive with sounds. You hear the sound of wind going through the trees, the creaking of the trees timbers, insects and birds. Sometimes the woods are quiet as a moment of captured eternity and all you can hear is the sound of your breathing and your heartbeat. When I took this picture that was such a moment.
Sometimes the better sunset (or sunrise) photos are when you turn your back to the sun and see what's behind.

Sometimes I think the subtleties of nature photography on social media go right over some people's heads. Flashy pictures are the most popular. Lots of colour and locations to die for.
The reason for this is obvious. Unless a picture acts like a sugar hit, the casual viewer won't even bother (the purveyors of AI know this and that's why it is so popular on social media). In fact I'd suggest most people don't even take the time to open up the photograph from their activities feed, so they never enlarge it and explore what the photographer is trying to do. My guess is most photos are looked at with the attention span of less than a second. So many more pictures to fave in order to entice more people to our pages.
The pity of all this is two-fold:
(1) We miss seeing how beautiful ordinary scenes in nature can be. I defy anyone to suggest this little wild flower is anything less than a marvel of creation.
(2) We fail to learn. I'm always on the lookout for something innovative that a photographer is doing. It doesn't mean I want to copy it, but it is all part of the process of learning to be a photographer. We must always be learning.
[If you don't enlarge this you won't even see the flower.]
...you can't see the wood for the trees!

Sometimes I see birds or squirrels eating the wizened crabapples from the ornamental crabapple trees in the yard. ... I should taste one some day to see if it is anything like a normal crabapple. Can't imagine they taste very good... but this little guy seemed worried that I might be there to steal his...
They often bury them in the plant pots that have dirt in them all winter .. I dig them out in the spring. Sometimes I even find them in the Christmas greenery I put into some empty pots on the front porch.
Sometimes I am angry with myself. When I am discovering that I am different from the person I believe to be. Who do I think I am? Who is in charge of my carefully managed self? Sometimes I am asking. Others give answers I sometimes can't recognise. Sometimes I can. The 'evidence' is often inconclusive. The soliloquy, the self-interrogation, is problematic too. Sometimes I feel that the question of who I am is not the most important one. Sometimes I think that what matters is who those around me are and how I relate to them. Sometimes I wish I could start again. Fuji X-Pro3.
Sometimes he will set up on the carpet by staring at you with such tender, affectionate and human eyes that they intend to you and we will no longer be able to believe that a soul does not reside there....................A volte si metterà sul tappeto fissandoti con gli occhi così teneri, affettuosi e umani che intendono e non saremo più in grado di credere che un'anima non risieda lì
As a landscape photographer sometimes all I need is a quiet and peaceful location.
A gentle swirl in the stream, the muted tones in the landscape and the mountains wrapped in clouds. This is where serenity meets simplicity, a scene that invites me to just pause and take a breath, to enjoy the landscape.
Moments like these remind me why I want to spend more time in nature
It has been a while since I last posted, as I have been busy preparing new workshops and also working on new projects that I will share very soon.
Thank you for your support!
Wishing you all a very Happy New Year filled with creativity, exploration, and whatever else you wish for!
