Although I haven't been out much lately, I was surprised to see not only Crocus's, but these lovely Snowdrops too!
I didn't think we would see these until march?
It was lovely to be out In the sunshine yesterday? But it was bitterly cold with a cutting easterly wind.

Rough Legged Hawk makes quite an entrance among a flock of pigeons at the Alberta Grain Terminal. This birds has stayed around for the past month which is most unusual. It doesn't prey on pigeons in flight but may be dining on rodents attracted to spilled grain. It does scavenge leftover pigeons taken by the falcons.
un modèle complaisant , je reviendrai sur cette dame qui a eu beaucoup de patience et beaucoup de gentillesse avec moi .
look what I got... it's so cute! but I'm afraid any birds won't make it to their home.

Explore #80 on March 16, 2009. Thank you all so much :)
I think this sea otter was as surprised to see me in his space as I was when he suddenly popped up alongside me.
Today's Macro Mondays theme is socket. I wanted this innocent-looking socket to seem completely shocked upon hearing that a plug was coming her way. My brain and soul needed something light and unserious, if just for a bit today; the world is so heavy and uncertain. HMM!
I was just checking my camera setting, when this buzzard almost touched me…I think he was more surprised than me
I normally save all my images to one card in my camera and use the second for overflow, which rarely gets used. Obviously I took some shots while my primary card was unknowingly out of my camera, because I recently found some images on the back-up card, and this was one of them. A nice surprise!
UP 6379 leads the GSPFRM-03 through CP Z067 in Topeka, KS on 2/5/23.
This one caught me by surprise, as I had come out to photograph the train two ahead of it, and as I was on my way home, Cade let me know that this was headed my way. Yeah, I definitely had to turn around and get the shot. There aren't many SP-painted engines left running, and to get one on the point, when you're already out with the camera, and there's (kind of) sun is a win all around.
Red-tailed Hawks. I'm not sure exactly what's going on here, but I think these are siblings testing their flight skills, more than this being a territorial battle.
First I want to say that this is not a good image, this one is all about the story, maybe more accurate for me the memory I will have. If you watch my thread you will see that I like to photograph Manatee's they are amazing and offer a lot to view. On this day I was on the dock where I often see my Manatees and I had just saw one swim by. I moved to the right because that was the direction he was going. Just as I turned back around a Dolphin came shooting out of the water not 2 feet away from me and scared me. Almost as if she did it on Porpoise (see what I did there) End result was I only had time to start pushing the shutter, this is the best image I got of the playful Dolphin.
While out on errands, I read a post and subsequently heard BICB-21 get warrants out to the Iowa City Subdivision. So without thinking twice I went out to the street running in Davenport Iowa to get a very clean looking IAIS 513 (ES44AC) leading down what was once the old Rock Island line.
Snow didn't come as a surprise to Sweet Home Chicago today, but seeing this combination is still surprising to me. Have a warm spring dear friends. Thank you for your visit :)))
I am not an ornithologist. But when a Goldcrest, Europe's smallest bird, attacked the window (or, perhaps, its own mirror image) of our garden shed, I could not resist. Edited in Fujifilm's raw converter and refined in Luminar.
Two Chicago & North Western EMD SD40-2s and two Alco C628s try to pull a derailed coal gon back onto the rails in a snowstorm at the railroad’s Butler Yard in Wisconsin on January 4, 1986. I’m not sure if this was a train entering the yard that derailed, or if these units are just helping out in the rerailing process. Those C628s were pretty heavy on the rails, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they were part of equation. Either way, I never found out how long it took them to rerail the car(s), as it was windy and cold,and I was soon outta there!
Just past the famous Ashness Bridge, clamber up the hill to the right from the road to experience the rewards of Surprise View, perched high on an oak-lined cliff edge overlooking the whole of Derwentwater. On a clear day you can even spot Bassenthwaite lake in the distance! www.golakes.co.uk/
The other morning I was walking along the river channel at the estuary, and when I was behind a row of bushes and couldn't see the shoreline I noticed a series of rings on the water's surface coming from directly below me. Thinking it was a merganser I had been following, I got my camera handy and crept to the edge for a look. There was a large boulder I couldn't see behind, and that was where the disturbance was coming from. I popped my head up to look around it at the same instant this otter did, and we both were a little startled by each other!
I like the way he seems to pop into the frame rather unexpectedly, which is exactly what he did!
A surprise 'performer' at the 2012 RNAS Yeovilton 'Air Day' was giant Ukrainian registered Antonov An-124-100 'Ruslan' UR-82073
According to 'Wiki', allocated NATO code-named 'Condor' the An-124 is the world's second highest gross weight production cargo airplane behind the Boeing 747-8F and world's third heaviest operating cargo aircraft, behind the one-off Antonov An-225 (a greatly enlarged design based on the An-124) and the

I didn't realize that I had photographed the reflection of Lucca's Cathedral of St. Martin in the flasks...that is, until I downloaded them. Surprise, Surprise!
The little surprises that make me jaunty
The little hellos that make me feel the polka-dots and smiles of yellow
The little gestures and gift cards
That make a trail to a big, bright smile
Little Surprises and Hellos by John Archievald Gotera Sep 2015
Bailey surprised me with a halo, wings, and a wee bear to cuddle to bits!
These little things speak volumes, and get me through my days. Thank you, Bails.

After the tongue sticking out incident, my main focus was on this gosling now, it provided me with a few minutes of quality entertainment, here, I surprised it when I got a little closer.
Luna moths don't usually begin appearing until summer, late summer. But this beauty showed up in April.
Got a huge surprise when this wild turkey landed in my garden! I heard a loud flapping of wings & seconds later this gorgeous, wild turkey arrives! It stayed around long enough for me to take a few photos of it before it flew away! Lucky for him it wasn't Thanksgiving, lol =)
A 4-shot panorama of the scene from Anne Boleyn's seat or Surprise View at Founains Abbey, North Yorkshire.
It is called "Surprise View" because 19th C guests were brought here by coach and, after a curtain was drawn in front of the bench they were seated at, this amazing view was revealed to them. There is no curtain now but the scene remains much the same and makes the climb up the hill worth the effort!
You can see the meander, or bend, in the River Skell that flows past the abbey to the left of the image and on through the water garden where it was dammed in the 1900s in order to form an ornamental lake. I like how the view is framed by the overhanging branches of the trees next to where I was standing.
I was surprised to see three Red/Silver painted units leading this manifest. It ended up being a decent chase west, we had a mixture of snow, rain and eventually sunshine near Provo.
It was a cloudy, gray evening, darkness was closing in and we had settled inside for the evening. Suddenly there was the gentle pitter-patter of raindrops on the roof. The pitter-patter increased in rhythm and intensity. I was curious about the rain so got up out of my comfortable chair and peeked through the blinds only to behold, to my surprise, this beautiful rainbow.
