Another Osprey ... it's been raining and miserable here all week so I was lucky to have a tiny bit of blue in the background here.

A Common Snipe and a Redshank take a well earned break from their hectic search for small invertebrates and crustaceans along the coastal section of RSPB Leighton Moss. As far as I could tell, worms and small crabs topped the day's Specials Menu.

If you plant one dandelion, chances are you’ll soon have about eight hundred to pull up.

Dandelions reproduce asexually, so each new dandelion is a genetic copy of its parent plant

These old trucks look like they took root and are sprouting a new life!

Happy Truck Thursday!

Happy Tulip Tuesday!! :))

I was fortunate to be able to capture this beautiful Great Blue Heron taking-flight to move to it's next fishing spot. With the help of Photo Shop I added some posterization special effect to give the picture a pretty cool look. I hope you like it.

Мы постепенно двигались в сторону основной точки съемки, до рассвета оставался примерно час. Туман продолжал сгущаться и на сильном морозе мы целиком покрылись инеем. Ярко светила полная луна, на рассвете она стала оранжевой. Все это создавало отличные условия для съемки. Времени было полно и мы особо не торопились, фотографировали всякое. Это один из таких снимков, ничего особенного, просто туманный рассвет.

We gradually moved towards the main shooting point, about an hour remained until dawn. The fog continued to thicken and in the bitter cold we were completely covered with frost. The full moon shone brightly, turning orange at dawn. All this created excellent conditions for shooting. There was plenty of time and we were not particularly in a hurry, taking pictures of everything. This is one of those shots, nothing special, just a hazy sunrise.

The lighthouse is recognisable for the three black stripes on a white background and the words 'NO PASSAGE LANDWARDS' on either side. Although originally a manned lighthouse, Trwyn Du Lighthouse has been automated since 1922 and in 1996 it was converted to solar power.

Taking a temporary break from images of Germany to bring some local ones taken yesterday.

Mt. St. Helens, which last erupted 36 years ago and is rebuilding itself with a lava dome inside the crater, ( which eventually will form her new top ) and lot of new growth, including an abundance of wildflowers this year.

For the Macro Mondays theme 'Love', I used a heart-shaped memo clip. Always nice to put in sweet messages ;-))

While I was taking pictures, one of my cats jumped on the table and knocked over this memo clip. And that gave this result! The reflection and light in it is caused by sunlight and the silvery paper, I used.

Happy Macro Monday and also Happy Valentines Day everyone !

A Spotted Towhee that had flown into my climbing rose bush. I was surprised I was able to get several good shots of him despite the slow shutter speed. That dang fixed f11.

But I do like a bit of motion blur and he was in the process of getting ready to turn around.

I kept the ISO down as much as I could so the noise was not an issue this time
