used a 3 stops NiSi soft GND filter and stopped down a lot for the sunburst effect.
Thanks everyone for visiting my stream :-)
This is the same bufflehead I shot last week at Commonwealth Lake on takeoff. This was just before the other shot.
The Gäuboden is a region in Lower Bavaria in southern Germany without any clear geographic or cultural boundaries, that covers an area about 15 kilometres wide south of the River Danube and the Bavarian Forest, beginning opposite Wörth an der Donau and stretching as far as Künzing. The largest town in the region is Straubing, which is often called the centre of the Gäuboden. The Gäuboden is one of the largest loess regions in southern Germany. The farmland is nearly flat, no field borders or trees that might hinder the usage of huge machines.

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK
Pioenroos (Paeonia)
De (nog niet bloeiende) knoppen van pioenrozen scheiden een sap uit dat rijk is aan koolhydraten. Vaak komen hier mieren op af die zich voeden met deze substantie. De mieren zijn echter niet schadelijk voor de planten.

Peony (Paeonia)
The (not yet blooming) buds of peonies secrete a juice that is rich in carbohydrates. Ants often feed on this substance. However, the ants are not harmful to the plants.
A young inflorescence (flower spike) of the swamp Banksia, Banksia robur. It is less than 2cm tall surrounded by brown hairy bracts. When mature, the flower spikes may be up to 15cm tall.
The inflorescence consists of hundreds of small flowers arranged in pairs. The flowers change colour as they grow. A photo of an inflorescence in which the flowers are open is below.
As their name suggests they grow in swamps in the wild along the eastern Australian coast but they do well in gardens too.
Thank you for your visit. I appreciate faves and comments very much and I am grateful for invitations too.
This is spring starting up. The first tender greens on the bushes and the tall tree is beginning to bloom.
One of my favourite bike paths, taken last year. We are not quite there yet.
HFF!
Early start at Fingeringhoe, Nightingales were singing which seemed everywhere, luckily this one popped its head out the brush for me. Never saw another one but could hear them everywhere 😁
Nothing like water rushing down a stream with some changing colours to begin ushering in the fall season! Smokey Hallow Waterdown Ontario
This was yesterday's sunrise (one aspect of it!) as a reverse follow up to yesterday's sunset which I uploaded yesterday. As the pink sunlight shines on the island a dark band of snow clouds drops its load!
I've started working my way through my contacts pictures now and hope I will soon catch up with all of you! It may take an hour or two!
Have a great Wednesday!
