Stellar's Sea Lions (Eumetopias jubatus) hauled out on a small uncharted rocky island along the coast northwest of Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada.
There are several large herd bulls in the pack hauled out on the rocks.

Christmas tree lights.
This is a multiple exposure image (not in-camera) of the lights on the Christmas tree that has been a feature of our decorations for aeons innumerable...
It's a two-by multi of the same view. I wanted to get a more interesting and even distribution of the bokeh so one version is with the camera upside down, slightly zoomed out and more out of focus. It was taken in January but processed today... the view hasn't changed much :)
For Smile on Saturday's theme of coloured bokeh.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy New Year to you! Thanks to my Flickr friends for all the fun this year. God bless.
PS I try and collect bokeh images for use as overlays in processing - that's what originally caused me to take this one. If you wish to use this one in your own work do feel free to download it - I've changed the copyright :)
I get Steller's jays in my yard all the time, but this might be the best looking one I ever saw up close.
I was finally able to capture an image that I liked. Although, I do wish his topknot was flared up more. He was side/back lite, not the best.
Stellar's Jays (Cyanocitta stelleri) are very active at our peanut feeder of late! Barely stopping throughout the day! Here a juvenile takes a second in the Maple tree to have a quick look around.
Osteospermum (African Daisy).
Taken in June in a friend's rather nice garden on the little-ickle camera.
I've often rather liked images of flowers isolated against an innocuous background even though they can be rather sterile and austere. I've done a couple in the past but this is another experiment.
For the Mittwochsmakro group.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image! Happy Macro Wednesday :)
[Handheld in daylight.
It may not seem much but this one was a pain to process into half the vision that niggled in the back of my atrophied brain...
Developed in Capture One with a lot of colour, contrast and clarity tweaking, especially in the centre.
Processed further in Affinity Photo painting out the masked background and more softening of the petals, getting rid of the myriad spots of pollen and blemishes from the white bits and delicately sharpening the centre.
Eventually I gave up twittering about with it, though not entirely satisfied (always an essential step, lol) :) ]
Quite amazing light rays were visible when the light broke through the low hanging clouds and mist at the edge of the forest at this morning. The whole woodscape was bathed in fine light while I was shooting and enjoying the happening.

Each year around May time I have another go at taking this subject. I keep aiming for something better and, gradually, I think I’m improving (in stark contrast to some of the other photography I do lol).
This is one of the better ones from a couple of years ago. I processed it several ways one time when I was on holiday working from the raw file using Affinity on the iPad. That means I didn’t use any external plugins or filters.,
The set has rather mouldered away since then but I thought it would be a quick and easy one for Sliders Sunday today. I often think that. I’m usually wrong as was the case here…
I clearly had fun, though, at the time. I seem to have used all sorts of things: inversion, gradient maps, mirroring, layer blending, HSL adjustments, ripple filters, and even the affine filter (which takes a source layer and makes multiple copies of it - see some of them with patterns of diagonal dots). Some of these versions build on others.
In the end, the Affinity file was over one and a half gigabytes (all the variants were in one file, a couple of dozen layers). Amazingly the iPad didn’t bat an eyelid - I only noticed when I came to copy the file back to the desktop for some final exports from Affinity.
I’ll post one of the variants in Sliders Sunday and add a link to the in-camera original in the first comment. One of the variants is a “proper” version which forms the basis for the others.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday :)
AKA Lesser Stitchwort, Grass-like starwort, Grassy stitchwort, Heinätähtimö (fin).
Taken with Canon FD 35mm F2.8 Macro / 25-42mm Extension Tube / Full Frame Sensor / Natural Light / Printer Paper Backdrop / Darktable.
I wondered what this usual looking bird was when I spotted it near the frozen waterfall. It looked a bit like a Blue Jay but different. When I got home I found out it was a Stellar's Jay.
My first time seeing one!

Place du Bouffay à Nantes
Oeuvre de Baptiste Debombourg
"C’est donc de l’observation de la place et à partir de l’importante présence de terrasses de cafés et de restaurants que Baptiste Debombourg a construit son projet. La terrasse est synonyme de sociabilité et l’élément “chaise” qui la compose est une forme de représentation de la personne. L’artiste décide de jouer de cette présence en créant une ample sculpture aérienne, s’opposant à leur ancrage habituel au sol. Dans un dialogue avec le volume de la place et la hauteur des bâtiments, deux ellipses de chaises s’élèvent dans les airs, se rencontrent et se séparent."
