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
St. Andrews is a seaside town northeast of Edinburgh, on Scotland’s east coast. It's known for its many golf courses, including the Old Course, with the landmark Swilcan Bridge at the 18th hole. The British Golf Museum chronicles the history of U.K. golf. On a headland nearby are the ruins of St. Andrews Castle, with its medieval bottle dungeon. Close to the castle is the University of St. Andrews, founded in 1413.
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.

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

Of course I had to try my modified Helios on our Rudbeckia. This flower was (unfortunately) in the shade, where the other ones in the background were already illuminated by the sun and hence they created a glowing swirl bokeh. I hope you like it!
Με σταμάτησε να τον φωτογραφίσω νομίζοντας ότι δουλεύω σε κάποια εφημερίδα. Είχε μία αφοπλιστικά χαλαρή και καλή διάθεση.
