Great Egret - - - - - - ( Ardea alba, aka Casmerodius albus )
I tossed a stale dinner roll to deep water as bait for both bird and fish.
( I knew that the bird would know that the bread would attract fish, and would fly out to hover over it.)
She did, and successfully caught one.

After a difficult but successful searching of Pumas in sectors close to the Torres del Paine National Park in the Chilean Patagonia, and fighting against a strong wind and low temperatures with the pioneer in tracking of pumas in Patagonia, biologist and wild photographer, Rodrigo Moraga, we achieved the great reward of finding this mother with her four cubs of no more than three months and feeding on a guanaco recently hunted by her. Finding a family feeding and playing together, forced us to spend long hours contemplating at a discreet and silent distance their games and activities, which invited us to remember when we were cubs too, with those same antics, bothering our mother, and she, with that patience that all mothers have, looked at us with love and patience. A very exciting moments of those that photography will help me to remember forever, and also that helped me to think in moments of my childhood.
We saw this bobcat stocking something, so we decided to wait. We didn't wait to long when this cat pounced with amazing speed and got this big rodent (not sure what it is). This isn't the cooperative bobcat from the previous photos, however they were neighbours. Their territories were one next to each other.

The end of another successful snowflake season, with many curiosities and mysteries seen in the organized chaos of falling snow, we conclude with this pair of snowflakes: wildly different, but created at the same time.
It has always amazed me how subtle variations in environmental variables can give us drastically different looks to snowflakes, and that these two crystals could be made at the same time in roughly the same place. Understanding how these designs differ, however, actually makes them closer than you might think. It all has to do with their origins.
The plate-type snowflake began as most snowflakes do: a regular hexagonal lattice of water molecules continually growing into a hexagonal prism, with all the later complexities that allow for each snowflake to be unique. The right snowflake is a split crystal variety, and its exotic shape is due to how that original molecular lattice was formed. There are a number of ways that water molecules can connect irregularly, often by some fluke or unrepeatable event, and that unusual connection is repeated forevermore as the crystal grows. These unusual beginnings are responsible for crossed-plate and arrowhead crystals, with this being an evolved example of the latter. “Evolved” is my term for when a simple arrowhead structure grows plates and branches beyond its initial shape.
Because of the differing origins, these two snowflakes – even in extremely similar conditions – can become wildly different in appearance. There are some signs that they didn’t just fall on top of one another but rather that they grew together for some time in the clouds. The fact that the plate is smaller on the side where the arrowhead crystal is evidence of this, as are some irregular lines caused by inward growth towards the center. Irregular lines are usually indicating another element beyond the single crystal having an impact on the flow of water vapour across its surface.
You might not fully be able to realize how difficult an edit this is. Not only are arrowhead and similar crystals very volumetric and this makes focus stacking a nightmare, but the reflection on the surface of the plate was a bit of a head-scratcher. I say reflection rather than shadow because a shadow would just be a dark area on the surface. In this case. The reflection was at a different point of focus than the plate itself. Combining the two together was quite the challenge. Usually we don’t perceive the difference in focus between a reflection and the object it is reflecting off of, but anyone who has played with stereoscopic 3D will tell you it makes for a very interesting effect. In extreme macro photography, it makes for frustration. Here’s a crop of a single frame from the focus stack showing some of the reflections, while everything else is out of focus: donkom.ca/bts/_DKP5451-reflection.jpg . Combining that with the underlying plate, with details covering exactly the same areas, is a bit of an art.
Happy to say this was shot on a pre-production Lumix S1 – that camera gave me a lot to work with this season. Either the S1 or the S1R will be my full-time snowflake camera for next winter, so expect another incredible season ahead!
And if you made it this far, I have a favour to ask you. Nothing major, but I’d appreciate you helping me grow. If you could write a favourable recommendation on my Facebook page, or for my podcast Photo Geek Weekly on iTunes or wherever you listen, it would be appreciated. If you have a favourite snowflake from this series, share that post so that more eyes can come back to my work. Anything you can do to help grow my audience will mean even more success for future projects.
And those future projects will be spectacular. While I will switch gears to more summer work, expect a big announcement from me in the next few months about a macro photography book, covering everything from shooting live insects to flowers, water droplet refractions and freezing bubbles, snowflakes to ultraviolet fluorescence and so much more. It will be the best macro photography book I am capable of creating, giving away all my secrets. This will be a crowd-funded project much like Sky Crystals was, and I hope I can have your support to make it a reality. :)

A successful US training aircraft of the 1930s. This beautifully presented example is in the colours of the Netherlands East Indies (now Indonesia). Over 1500 examples were built, and there are numerous survivors around the world. The Ryan Aeronautical Company was founded by the same T. Claude Ryan, an earlier company of whose built the famous 'Spirit of St Louis', used by Charles Lindbergh for his Atlantic crossing.
I went on an unexpected, but successful snipe hunt today! I'm very glad I had my camera (and extra battery) with me while hiking at Vadnais-Snail Lake Regional Park. We both noticed how low the water level was today, and as we neared the low, swampy area on the east side, I wondered if maybe we could actually walk all the way across the sand bar. Indeed, we were able to walk out much further than you typically can, and once there, I noticed a Wilson's Snipe pop up from the mudflats and into the air. It didn't land that far away, so I figured I'd see if I could get any closer. I had to cross a section of mud where I found my feet sinking nearly 3 inches, but once I got across, I noticed the bird had not moved an inch. It was simply relying on it's camouflage to blend in, similar to my experiences with the very similar American Woodcock. After creeping up about 5 feet at a time, I eventually ended up within about 15 feet of the bird -the closest I've gotten to one in many years. I couldn't kneel in the mud, but I did crouch down for a lower angle photo. It was an awesome experience to see one so closely, get some photos, then turn around and leave without ever bumping the bird. We also saw a Killdeer in the same area, but I didn't bother chasing it, especially given how muddy my feet were already! Ramsey County, MN 11/09/24
The Raid on the Medway and Chatham was a successful action by Admiral Michiel de Ruyter in 1667 as an answer to the destruction of a large fleet of Dutch merchant ships in 1666 under English admiral Holmes, also known as 'Holme's Bonfire'.
A large number of British warships were destroyed or taken as a price. The action lead to the signing of the Peace of Breda in the same year, ending the Second Anglo-Dutch War.

After a successful run for the Watford 90 on 12-13th September 2015, the Metropolitan Railway milk van and Chesham set return to stable at Ruislip Depot.
Following much shunting to vacate shed roads normally occupied by Transplant, L150 has been detached from the formation, and the coaches and milk van have been backed into Ruislip Depot by Sarah Siddons and Met 1, with L150 then joining Met 1 later on at the end of the shed after running around it.
Upon arrival, the set is being prepared for handing back to the Bluebell Railway. Equipment used by LU Technical Services for the heritage operations is being removed and put back to where they are normally kept.

After his successful theft of the Mona Lisa in 1911, Vincenzo Peruggia went on to collect other objects d'art, including an ultra rare Pez dispenser patterned after Les Demoiselles d'Avignon and a Jack in the Box found at the scene of the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre and attributed to Marcel Duchamp.
As a conservator of fine art, Vincenzo refilled the Picasso Pez dispenser with archival grade candies, and he cleaned the blood from Duchamp's piece with H2O2. The lack of archival grade Sharpies prevented Peruggia from replacing the eyebrows on La Gioconda. Although he served time for the theft of Da Vinci's painting, Vincenzo's favorite was always the Mona Lisa. Historians believe this was due to the difficulty of fabricating a cubist or a Jack costume.

Webb continues on its path to becoming a focused observatory. The team has successfully worked through the second and third out of seven total phases of mirror alignment. With the completion of these phases, called Segment Alignment and Image Stacking, the team will now begin making smaller adjustments to the positions of Webb’s mirrors.
After moving what were 18 scattered dots of starlight into Webb’s signature hexagonal formation, the team refined each mirror segment’s image by making minor adjustments, while also changing the alignment of Webb’s secondary mirror. The completion of this process, known as Segment Alignment, was a key step prior to overlapping the light from all the mirrors so that they can work in unison.
Once Segment Alignment was achieved, the focused dots reflected by each mirror were then stacked on top of each other, delivering photons of light from each segment to the same location on NIRCam’s sensor. During this process, called Image Stacking, the team activated sets of six mirrors at a time and commanded them to repoint their light to overlap, until all dots of starlight overlapped with each other.
In this image: During this phase of alignment known as Image Stacking, individual segment images are moved so they fall precisely at the center of the field to produce one unified image instead of 18. In this image, all 18 segments are on top of each other. After future alignment steps, the image will be even sharper.

Eurasian Collared-Doves made their way to North America via the Bahamas, where several birds escaped from a pet shop during a mid-1970s burglary; the shop owner then released the rest of the flock of approximately 50 doves. Others were set free on the island of Guadeloupe when a volcano threatened eruption. From these two sites the birds likely spread to Florida, and now occur over most of North America
A successful hunt. A Great Gray Owl, St. Joseph Township, St. Joseph Island, Ontario; from the 2013 archives. The Great Gray-Owl (strix nebulosa) is North America’s largest owl; however, it is outweighed by as much as fifteen percent by the Snowy Owl and the Great Horned Owl. The average length of the owl is 61-84 cm, the average wingspan is 1.4-1.5m; females are slightly larger then males. Great Grays prey upon voles, mice, shrews, lemmings, squirrels, and hares. The owl will listen and watch from a perch, and swoop and catch its prey.
