Taken a few years ago when I had the fortune to spend some time around more snow than I am used to at home. (It's not all of Sweden that can boast with really white winters.)

Spending a few hours watching the antics of these Burrowing Owlets in Cape Coral was most definitely one of the highlights of our recent trip to Florida. Here two of them seem to be forming an orderly queue waiting for Mum (or is it Dad?) to serve breakfast!

 

As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.

  

** I usually spend my time at Bempton photographing Gannets in flight for a change here is one of a Kittiwake. Not a perfectly sharp shot but I did like the way the sun catches those wings

 

Kittiwakes are coastal breeding birds ranging in the North Pacific, North Atlantic, and Arctic oceans. They form large, dense, noisy colonies during the summer reproductive period, often sharing habitat with murres. They are the only gull species that are exclusively cliff-nesting.

 

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.

I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .

The yellow billed cuckoos are a fascinating little bird and they love spen ding time together sitting close together on a branch. It brought a smile to my face and I could not help but think they are certainly conserving space. They could not be closer !! Fun to see as they fly about the farms in the Campos !

 

Wishing you a lovely and blessed evening !

After spending a few hours on Mormon Row to catch sunrise, I drove a bit farther back along Antelope Flats Road and hiked out onto the prairie to capture this image of a bison leading his gang (that's really what they're called) across the flat, and away from the areas where tourists usually inhabit during the day.

 

The gang was moving pretty fast, not stopping much to forage, so I wasn't able to make an image of them directly in front of the iconic Cathedral Group. After seeing this movement, I walked back to my Jeep and noticed two isolated bison across the road. In probably my riskiest move of the entire trip, I hiked to within about 75 yards of those two, but was unable to catch a clean image, as they kept in pretty tall brush, and repeatedly laid down. There was no iconic background from my vantage, as the mountains were at my back. Figuring I had a pretty good day, I decided not to press my luck further and returned to the Jeep in search of more landscape images.

After spending time on the headland capturing the sun setting opposite Killantringan lighthouse, whilst driving back I noticed an owl sat on a post looking towards the pink horizon. I couldn't resist jumping out of my car and capturing the moment. ( I didn't have time to set up my tripod.)

 

I was reliably informed this was a typical posture of a Barn Owl.

Spending a vacation week with the "kids" and grandkids, my schedule shifted and I found myself up before sunrise every morning. The skies and clouds at Lanikai Beach were often so dramatic with the sunrise, sunset, rain and rainbows.

Mindfulness in nature gives us the opportunity to awaken to what is within us as well as around us, to heal and live skillfully.💚

Wishing you all a relaxed weekend ♥

After spending some time in the center of the city, we walked over to a place overlooking the Cuyahoga River to enjoy the sunset. On our way there, we looked back and were able to capture the golden light reflecting off the skyscrapers. The building at the center with a red key on top, is the Key Tower - it is the tallest building in Ohio. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_Tower

After spending hour at dam for nice sunset, the things did not work out, so finally left, as i was driving away, my eyes caught the glimpse of bright blue light in sky, so pulled over and took this shot. I think the wait and persistence paid off!

Spending quiet time together at our home.

...You used to spend the night in smoke, not in the clouds

But you keep your eyes open at night

And you’ll shut down all the curtains when the sun shines

Keep your distance from this light...

After spending some time scouting The Queen's Garden Loop Trail on my 2nd day, I returned later that evening and ran across this unique looking tree and it reminded me of the photos i've seen of the old gnarled tree in Schulman Grove in the Bristlecone Forest, which still sits on my bucket list. This one turned out a bit grainy even though I used some light panels and ISO 1600 to minimize the noise but I thought it still looked interesting. I still have a lot to learn and this is part of the road to MW nirvana which still eludes me. I suspect it's the fact that I have a crop sensor camera when I really should be using a Full Frame for this kind of photography, or it could be operator malfunction and inexperience. I probably won't know until I upgrade, I'm holding out for the 6D Mrk II which should be out spring 2016. :)

 

Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my photos and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great week ahead everyone :)

 

Spending time at the Lost Dutchman (The Superstitions Mountains)

After spending quite a few wonderful minutes in this dramatic landscape getting beautiful sunrise shots, I couldn't resist walking down the slopes to catch the sunlight through the holes in the pinnacles.

Can you please crawl out your window is a. Bob Dylan song sung by Wilko Johnson and Roger Daltrey on my playlist. I think the generally wild and windy week had made these special moments just dazzle.

They spend a lot of time underwater catching fish, this one was resting on a pole.

I'm spending a lot of time with the birds at the moment...

It's cold.. they're hungry. In return for food, I get to photograph them. It's a good equation :-)

 

I think this one probably has a leg injury, otherwise these birds rest and sleep standing up. But it looked content... calm. I'm sure it was enjoying the light.

  

Comments off for this one...

with my thanks for the quiet company :-)

 

Skippy has Lunch this little squirrel spends his time eating bird seed and peanuts everyday.

You spend your nights alone

And he never comes home

And every time you call him

All you get's a busy tone

I heard you found out

That he's doing to you

What you did to me

Ain't that the way it goes

 

When you cheated girl

My heart bleeded girl

So it goes without saying that you left me feeling hurt

Just a classic case

A scenario

Tale as old as time

Girl you got what you deserved

 

And now you want somebody

To cure the lonely nights

You wish you had somebody

That could come and make it right

 

But girl I ain't somebody with a lot of sympathy

You'll see

 

(What goes around comes back around)

To spend time, lots of time over a meal with friends. To share wine and conversation, and to let both bring forth much laughter...well, what a true pleasure that is!

Spending my evenings with my bird images and photoshop.

Spending time at the Lost Dutchman (The Superstitions Mountains)

NECR 610 spends the weekend without a crew in Willimantic at the crew office with a pair of blue and golds up front.

After spending the better part of 3 years in patch paint, Lake State 6351 finally received the company paint it deserved a few weeks ago. After making its debut on the Santa Train at the beginning of the month, it entered freight service and is still very clean. After picking up a CSX grain train from HESR in Saginaw, the train rolls through the south end of Birch Run on a drizzly night.

I don't think that i have ever had more birds in the garden than this year, mainly great tits, sparrows and blackbirds. The blackbirds have been rare for years and I'm happy that they are back, Tofu is even more excited than I am and spends hours watching them. They often land on the lawn to look for insects and worms and could be an easy prey for a cat. Luckily Tofu enjoys observing birds much more than chasing them.

Sea otters spend the majority of their day taking it easy, resting by floating on their backs. Groups or "rafts" of sea otters congregate in calm, quiet waters. The highest number of sea otters recorded in such a raft totaled over two thousand animals - that would have been quite a sight to see!

 

This one would float peacefully, stretch a bit and preen, then resume the "position." Sounds like a great way to spend a lazy, Friday afternoon!

 

Have a blessed weekend! Thank you so much for your views and comments! They are greatly appreciated!

Yesterday I spend many hours on the beach. The sunset had been spectacular for many days now, and finally I was able to be there. There will be several pictures from this session in the days to come. This was one of the first pictures and the chopper and the ship made a great collection. Rescue at sea. , lighthouses and chopper... You get the picture:-)

I have to ask my Flickr Friends what sense does it make in spending this vast amount of money on politics when we need it for life globally and here in the USA whether it be food, drink, health, climate change and war amongst other things? Are all the dollars really worth it? Can democracy really be bought? How much difference do the dollars actually make?

After spending time investigating Roberts Creek, I drove along the coastal road and found the Roberts Creek Provincial Park. This entire area attracts a good deal of tourism in the summer so this time of year finds those same places somewhat empty of people. Except for one other person, this place was mine to play in.

 

After many angles, and numerous shots, this is the image that was in my mind. The sweeping stone stairs on a hill had drawn my attention, with the carpet of Autumn leaves laying undisturbed. Their vivid colors were in stark contrast to the grey stairs, while the fence and green foliage would support them in the background. I wanted to exaggerate the stairs and how they swept across the view so getting close with a wide angle lens was necessary. It was a fun afternoon with the time needed to find what lay behind the camera.

Vaska usually spends all summer and autumn out of doors, only spending nights at home. And in the winter, in rainy weather, he sleeps all days - or plays with his toy mouse in my chair.

Thank you all for visits, faves and comments!

Spending Spring Break at Combers Beach, south of Tofino, British Columbia

After spending some time doing long exposures on our one and only morning at the Grundlsee it was already pretty bright and I thought about going back to our room, but luckily I did not. I still walked around and took a few snapshots and as I packed my gear the sun all of a sudden peaked above the mountains. I quickly took my camera out of my bag and decided to take some images without the tripod since setting up the tripod would have taken too long. In hindsight, it would have been nice to take a panorama, but since I didn't expect this to happen I just had a single image which I cropped to 2:1. Anyway, I really like the colors, the sunstar and the cute little duck :) Hope you like it too!

After spending a couple of days in Gove County with the prairie chickens and chalk cliff formations, we drove to south central Kansas to visit Quivira National Wildlife Refuge and nearby Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Area. One bird that was in evidence everywhere we went was the Vesper Sparrow-- a species I'd not run across in quite a while and had never photographed, but they were everywhere we looked-- by far the predominant sparrow species. This was taken early in the day at Quivira NWR.
