Last night at 10:45pm, William McIntosh sent me a text, "70% chance of awesome sunrise at Leo Carrillo Beach". I immediately declined and he sent back "Boo". After checking Bill's conclusions on NWS and Skyfire it only took 30 secs to succumb. Alright I'm in, I replied. Again I would have to be up and ready to go in 5 hours. Forget it I'm not going to be able to sleep I thought to myself and I was right. I spent the next 4 hours studying and watching Youtube videos about photography locations. I have now been awake for 36 hours straight.

During our last trip to Malibu Beach, Bill and I ran into another photographer on the beach that turned out to be a real nice guy. While we where loading up the car Bill had ask him if he knew of any other interesting spots in the vicinity to shoot. The man says that just up Pacific Coast Highway about 10 miles was a cool little spot that he liked to shoot on occasion. A little spot found around lifeguard shack three just passed the parking area he says. It was already after Golden hour but Bill and I decided to go and scout it out for a future trip. What we found was such a cool location which we were "Surprised" to find included a double arch, several small sandy beaches, a flat reef shelf and a pass through cave leading to a little hidden beach while during sunrise has a beautiful glow entering it from the east. This is a shot of one side of the double arch, the view of the double arch can only be captured during the point of lowest tide but during high tide it is possible to capture one side of the arch which is seen here. The sky exploded with color and Bill has now dubbed me his lucky charm after 7 of our last 8 excursions were blessed with fantastic light. I'll take those odds anyday. Funny thing, I was just thinking the same about him. Hehe. Hope you like it!!! If you do please leave a quick comment.

A view looking down Derwentwater and a distant glimpse of Bassenthwaite Lake

I had to add another angle of this frog capture by the great blue heron. They both look surprised.

 

After trailing (at a discrete distance) this heron for a while I was able to capture the capture of the frog by the heron.

Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea) I was stalking a little egret along the bank of our local reservoir when this heron suddenly burst out from the cover of the reeds in front of me. I just managed to get the camera on him but I don't know who was more surprised!

What a wonderful and unexpected surprise! Because of the bounty of abundant (some might say relentless, lol) sunshine this summer, the autumn Anemones are already blooming in August. This beautiful Anemone deserved to be painted.

I had no idea this guy was going to give me such a wonderful opportunity.

This Black-Capped Chickadee's attempt to startle the American Pine Marten resulted in very little reaction from the marten - - he was pretty chill you might say !

** We had decided not to visit our usual Bluebell woods this Spring. However Mary on a short walk with her friend found some new woods in a most unlikely place . A few years ago a new business Park was built underneath the Humber Bridge and next to the main approach road to Hull. It seems as part of the planning permission they were to preserve an old area of woodland that circles the new development . They have done a great job when you are in the Wood you would have no idea you were so close to a large development . We walked for an hour and the woods were awash with bluebells . It shows you can live in an area for a long time and still be surprised

  

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM. I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .

 

Visited Temecula, a city in southern CA known for its wineries. A beautiful city to visit and offers incredible wines and views. We stayed at a B & B and wasn't told about the hot air balloons! Having coffee outside that morning was such a nice surprise!

I just thought I'd upload a few more pictures of Ashala from my last shoot of her in the back garden. I chose this one because of the surprise look she has on her face...

While driving the Auto Tour Route at Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge we spotted something ahead on the side of the road. There were three other cars in front of us looking for just that perfect bird photo. To our amazement they drove right past this beauty. We pulled up right next to the hawk, he was so close if we had opened our door, it would have hit him. We lingered there for a few minutes snapping away before he tired of us and flew off.

Another stunning sky flying across after the storms. The beach is just such an uplifting place to taste the wonderful light that often follows. It's no surprise I spend so much time down there. No Surprises is by Radiohead.

On the way a few Japanese macaques crossed the footpath ... they were fast ….. it was a surprise for both parties ;-))

  

Kamikochi (上高地, Kamikōchi) is a popular resort in the Northern Japan Alps of Nagano Prefecture.

Plan was for Stanage or Higger Tor but they still had their heads in the clouds so made my way to Surprise View.

 

Not sure about this as woodland isn't something that comes easy to me so go easy on me:)

As I was deadheading the spent Salvia blooms, this Mediterranean Katydid appeared! I was very surprised as I had no idea he was in the Salvia flowers. The Katydid started crawling up the flower stem from the leafy green leaves, to provide a photo opportunity.

Taken in Bandavgarh, one of India's premier wildlife sanctuaries. This sub-adult tiger suddenly appeared out of the brush with his eyes trained on wild boar foraging 400 meters ahead. He was as surprised to see us in his path as we when he made a dramatic appearance from the brush as if stage curtains parted!

Well this is not one bird that I was expecting to find. I was busy trying to photograph a Black Throated Green Warbler which was very busy singing and bouncing from tree to tree and lo-and behold, a Blackburnian popped up, not very impressed with the vocal warbler on the edge of his territory.

Photographing from a bit lower of an angle resulted in eyes that seem to express surprise.

Surprise, it's a monarch. This beauty is a male. From the looks of him I'd say he's a freshie.

 

Have a Sensational Sunday and happy snapping.

A sandhill crane pair with a chick. The chick was a total surprise to me, and I didn't see it until I loaded this picture on my computer at home. I could also see a second chick in one of my other photos hiding in the grass. I guess these two sandhill cranes did a great job hiding their chicks.

Who would have expected to find her here, silently admiring the sunset from my Baja cabin? I tiptoed quietly, doing my best not to scare her away yet again. The soft click of the Leica shutter was barely audible. She did smile, I swear!

 

Quelle belle surprise.... Je ne me serais jamais attendu à la trouver là, admirant le coucher de soleil depuis ma cabane à Baja. En me glissant doucement devant elle, je faisais de mon mieux pour ne pas l'effrayer une fois encore. Le délicat déclic du Leica fut imperceptible, à l'image de son petit sourire....

When SP conductor Gary Smart checked his paperwork at Roper Yard, he couldn't believe his eyes. Rio Grande SD45 No. 5331 was assigned to lead his Roper, Utah to Denver, Colorado Forwarder. Gary originally hired out on the D&RGW, and was ecstatic when he saw his train.

 

The RODVF 15 made very good time as it tackled the Wasatch Mountain grade and crossed the Green River Desert region of eastern Utah to journey's end at Grand Junction, Colorado.

It's like yesterday

I didn't even know your name

Now today

You're always on my mind

I never could have predicted that I'd feel this way

You are a beautiful surprise

Intoxicated every time I hear your voice

You've got me on a natural high

It's almost like I didn't even have a choice

You are a beautiful surprise

 

Whatever it is that you came to teach me

I am here to learn it cause

I believe that we are written in the stars

I don't know what the future hold

But I'm living in the moment

And I'm thankful for the man that you are, you are, you are

You are everything I ask for in my prayers

So I know my angels brought you to my life

Your energy is healing to my soul

You are a beautiful surprise

You are an inspiration to my life

You are the reason why I smile

You are a beautiful surprise

 

A surprise view very close to my home, taken earlier this year

Clouds in the sky after a rainy morning. I went to Oak Canyon to get out and smell the fresh air. This set was captured from the same spot on a hill top. I was lucky today. It was a good day.

 

I had seconds to get this shot. Good thing my camera was on and close to the correct settings.

we know how hard to take a good bird photography.

 

I was travelling in a boat in allapuzha. you can notice another boat with safety gears nearby. surprisely a bird was flying towards my boat and settles at front end of the boat. with out wasting time I have taken this image. I was about to adjust the settings but the bird has gone. it has allowed me few seconds only.

 

this incident will be there always in my mind.

 

I dedicate this image to each and every photographer.

  

this image has been taken at popular tourist spot allapuzha, kerala, india.

 

thanks for every one for views, faves, comments.

Good morning, dear Flickr friends!

 

I surprised myself today. So I was surprised when I found myself on the jetty around 6:30. How the hell had I got there? Had the Corona Virus caught me and my brain was affected? Had I ended up in some bad TV series and couldn't get out? I winced and looked around. Fortunately, no bites nearby. I got ready for the "Games of Drone" series and really, it was freezing cold. I literally froze my ass. Drones take off at minus 4 degrees ... Ice crystals everywhere on my stuff. Where had I had breakfast and what was there? Fish? My back was freezing cold. I tried myself as a jetty dancer to keep myself supple. The Alpha 7 on the tripod also looked kind of frozen. We tried to be big friends, but the beast of tripod was freezing cold. I was rewarded with the wonderful position lights from the sight of my beautiful drone. It was worth giving the Local Hero. Everything went well and none of us crashed. Unfortunately I had parked my car in the middle of the market place and - hell the devil - sausage and cheese, fruit and vegetables around me and this damn orderly who immediately issued me a ticket. Become expensive photos again. I think I have to leave my bank details here for donations.

 

So take care, don't let it bite you and we'll see you ....

I was probably more surprised than this Pileated Woodpecker when it was suddenly right in front of me as I walked through a wooded area. It did stay there while I took a couple of close range photos and kept walking. A high ISO shot from the darkness of the tree canopy.

 

Thank you for viewing

I surprised this Song Sparrow just as it was taking some seeds off the post.

I was surprised to see the flowers popping out of the topiary boxwood, I have the single ball topiary in a pot and a seed got in somehow and liked the pot .

Canola/Rapeseed (Brassica napus)

 

For my 100 Flowers Project - 2022

 

I discovered two stalks of Canola growing in our garden. How they got there I don't know. It has been some years since there has been any Canola crops nearby.

Just a short time after the gloomy foreboding sunrise of my previous photo, the weather changed. The view was now somewhat surprising!
