Just finished up a southwest trip with my girlfriend and back at home. Saw a lot of incredible places and some amazing fall color. I’m excited and fortunate to have so many photos to work on from Glacier and this recent trip. Sapna Reddy and I photographed this tree on a cold morning in Glacier. This was actually the best light from the morning and it was about an hour before dawn. This is a 3 minute exposure at ISO 100. The added moon light made it possible to take a long exposure at a low ISO, which was awesome for getting a clean file. It streaked the clouds a bit as well, which was nice. I took another exposure for the stars right after. I have to say that I’ve gotten some of the best conditions I’ve ever experienced this fall. Maybe that’s a hint to photograph as much as possible in fall. Already excited for the colors next year!
Weaver birds are a group of several families of small passerine birds that are related to the finches. Most weaver birds are yellow, but there are also red, brown or black varieties. They are commonly known for their construction of elaborate nests.
Their blunt, conical bills allow them to easily feast on seeds and grain, with some weaver birds, such as the red-billed quelea featured below, proving a massive problem for crop farmers.

The Nests
Weaver bird nests are extraordinary structures.
Most individual nests are cylindrical in shape, with downward-facing, narrow entrances that are usually situated over or next to water.
Ensuring that the entrance faces downwards and is as narrow as possible deters thieves and potential predators. Some nests even have a long tube, extending the entrance further beneath the nest body.
Having selected a good location for his nest, the weaver bird starts to loop and weave strands of grass or strips of leaves around the ends of one or two branches in a tree. Having created a looped basis for the nest body, the weaver bird then builds the hollow body before adding the tubular entrance last.
The males are the main weavers, leaving the females with the responsibility of selecting their breeding-partner. They do this based on the location, design and relative comfort of the nest which ensures the good genetic quality for the father of her offspring alongside a safe home for her eggs.

I find it fascinating how aspen trees grow, forming streaks as they climb up and across the mountainside. These streaks offer great contrast as the aspens change to their fall colors among the evergreen pines. This photo is from our autumn road-trip of California's Eastern Sierra in 2017.

Medium-size, fairly common woodcreeper of tropical lowlands. Favors forest edge, open woodland, hedges with tall trees. Feeds on trunks and larger branches, often spiraling up one trunk and flying low to the next tree. Note the relatively slender and slightly de-curved bill, distinct but fine pale streaking on the head and back. Easily confused with larger Ivory-billed Woodcreeper, which is more of a forest bird and has a bigger and straighter bill.

HAPPY TUESDAY'S TEXTURES !
Click on image to look close.
I was pleased by the variety of colors and textures I managed to capture. I think that the bright, late afternoon sun in a blue sky was responsible for the array of colors. The textures come from my usual technique for moving water photos, described below.
NB1 - As usual, I captured the dynamics of moving water hand-held by using a motion-stabilzed camera lens and a medium-slow shutter speed; in this case, 1/40s.
NB2 - Effect of the 1/40s shutter speed:
The tiny white streaks mark how far given bits of light-reflecting spray traveled in 1/40s.
Location: River Wiese, Lörrach B-W Germany.

White LED are gradually replacing the traditional orange tungsten street lighting around Dublin.
While the orange tungsten gave a very nice warm colour, the newer LED's give off a very sharp effect, almost like a bright star.
