Με σταμάτησε να τον φωτογραφίσω νομίζοντας ότι δουλεύω σε κάποια εφημερίδα. Είχε μία αφοπλιστικά χαλαρή και καλή διάθεση.

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!

Taking a little spring break from my city shots to post everything blooming right now...I just couldn't resist!! :))

This is another photo of the geese taking off at Merced National Wildlife Refuge. Once they took off all of them were gone and did not return!

... taking what`s in it.. :=)))

Catching up on some winter shots.

Collared Aracari (Pteroglossus torquatus), taking a rest. Seen here in the rainforest of Costa Rica.

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!

Sometimes it is worth persisting. In Hyde Park yesterday, struggling to find much of interest on an overcast day. The park mostly empty, and the rain began to fall. I was sheltering under a tree, thinking about giving up for the day, when these four identical women wandered in frame. I am not sure they liked my attentions to be honest, but into each life some rain must fall

A family among several others. It was a nasty cold, snowy, and windy day. But spring will be here, the buds whisper to us. Have a wonderful day.

Another shot from my walk on Wednesday down the Afon Mellte in the Brecon Beacons. I've called this Taking chances a track by Sharon van Etten, as I slipped over shortly after this and nearly ended up in the river while clutching the tripod and camera in my hand. It's all part of the fun, but some of these rocks are so slippy! This shot is for Adriana Aprati who dedicated a beautiful waterfall shot to me yesterday.

This big brown bear is taking a shower to cool down while the warm weather we had the last days.

So, if you want to say something about my photo, it will be really appreciated, no matter if it's about liking or some constructive criticism. Your own thoughts and words will mean much more to me than a universal-text.

Also please don't post pictures in the commenting-area. You could post them much better in your own photo stream. ;-D

Taking a rest in the morning sunlight. This one is about 60 days old.

Fue lo mas destacable de ese día, ya que nos llovió e incluso nevó !

The Queen Victoria Building, now affectionately known as the QVB, was built in 1898. It’s an impressive building built in the Romanesque revival architectural style and is definitely worth a visit.

Northern Harrier

Just south of Bellevue, Iowa, the Mississippi River is above the ties for almost a mile along CP's Marquette Subdivision. The business train is northbound toward La Crosse and is giving the executives on the rear quite a view of what Mother Nature can do in the Midwest.

We are taking off for the weekend. Hope you have a fun weekend as well.
