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.
A "mousing" Coyote will leap high above the snow packed field and come down hard with their muzzle and forepaw first to break through and capture its prey.
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.
Autumn is here
and I am in love.
My heart has taken residence in my mind.
I pick the crisp ochre leaves
and put them in my pocket.
I am in love.

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.
I'm back...back back back!! Didn't get back from California till 3:00 am last night with delays on flights because of thunderstorms in Chicago!! :))

Thank you for taking a look at my images.
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.

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

A Giant Swallowtail leaves a coneflower for a Fritillary to enjoy. I know this looks photoshopped, but I swear it's not... just well timed. Prairie Garden Trust in Missouri.

Με σταμάτησε να τον φωτογραφίσω νομίζοντας ότι δουλεύω σε κάποια εφημερίδα. Είχε μία αφοπλιστικά χαλαρή και καλή διάθεση.
Short-billed Dowitcher wadding in the shallow water in search insects, worms etc. Heislerville Wildlife Management Area, Maurice River Township NJ.
The squirrels are overtaking the owl box now that colder weather has set in. The other day we seen five come out of that box now that has to be tight inside.
Lost between two confinements, an unmasked parenthesis.
I like streetportraits and here this guy has a real presence in space-time....
Here, unlike most photos, I attempt a colour treatment. I have several of them in process. I sometimes hesitate between colour and monochrome. I have the impression of approaching a tipping point...
(if someone has the word in English to express this kind of point of view : plongée. I'm taking it !)
More water than normal - and this was before Christoph arrived. Guess it might be worth another visit tomorrow - with an umbrella unless the rain stops!
nb if this looks a little familiar, I posted a very similar shot in Dec 2018 not long after we moved to Alnwick flic.kr/p/PLFkBK
Later note in response to a couple of comments- no humans were harmed in the taking of this shot! In fact I only had to walk about 2-3 yards from the car!
