This Robin often perches on this fence near our woodland feeders.He often sings from here and i was lucky he perched where the autumn tree colours were at their best behind him.

This Photo I shot today during a Nature Fotowalk with Metti. It`s a Try: I put it Upside down, just showing the Reflection in the Water. In the Sky Part you can find some Pieces of Ice (right upper Part). Or does it look more like a Painting??
Have Fun :-)!!

This, my fine flickr friends, is what the inside of my head has looked like for the last week - the feathered canyons and dark clouds (to quote Joni Mitchell)of a summer cold descended upon me . No photos, no inclinations even, no uploads and no likes, no comments and finally this evening I rushed down to the beach to get some shots and it was overcast and no waves. I looked upwards and saw these great summer storm clouds with the sun peeking out behind for just a few minutes - a perfect visual metaphor for my week ;)
Yard Bird #101!! This is a big deal! I was looking at the feeder this morning before a meeting just as it started to snow. A moment later I saw a little sparrow hoping around with a dark spot on its chest and lots of shades of rust brown...TREE SPARROW!!! I really like how these little birds look but they hardly ever allow me good photo opportunities. They are typically very flighty. This one however, didnt seem to be too bothered by me at all. I took a few shots just as proof it was here then it was time to make something good of it. Laying on my belly on the concrete floor of the basement felt....cold....but it allowed yet again for this super low angle. It kept getting closer and closer to the edge of the patio and I just kept shooting. This is one shot of many that are coming of it.
the Blythe girls wanted Suki in the picture so what can you do? make a picture off all of them together.... .Suki was so pleased that the girls wanted her in the picture.....
This is part of the view on 17 Mile Drive, on the Monterey Peninsula. There are tons of beaches in California, but there are also a few very beautiful rugged places like this. A little south of Monterey is Big Sur, which is definitely one of the most beautiful places on the planet and it has a rugged coastline, like this. Most days you can see a lot of seals playing and sometimes a few dolphins leaping out of the water. It’s an idyllic and very beautiful place.
Photo Description (Gemini AI)
This vibrant photograph captures an outdoor sculpture garden set against traditional Southwestern adobe architecture along Canyon Road in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Foreground & Midground: The composition is dominated by two stylized hare sculptures characterized by smooth, flowing curves and bold patinas. In the immediate foreground sits a bright olive-green hare in an attentive crouch. Just behind it stands a taller, electric-blue hare leaning backward in a playful, dynamic posture.
Background & Setting: Further back among lush lavender bushes and gravel pathways stands a tall, abstract bird sculpture decorated in mosaic-like shades of blue and green. The sunlit courtyard, gravel beds, surrounding greenery, and earth-toned adobe building with white French doors create a classic Southwestern gallery environment.
Identification of the Artist
The sculptures in this photograph are created by the renowned wildlife sculptor Tim Cherry.
Style & Technique: Tim Cherry is celebrated for his signature curvilinear, semi-abstract style that emphasizes smooth, flowing lines, sleek forms, and tactile surfaces.
Patinas: A hallmark of his bronze work is the use of rich, unconventional patinas-such as the brilliant blues, teals, and emerald greens seen on these hares and avian forms-which give his animal figures a distinctive, modern energy.
Gallery Context: His stylized animal sculptures (featuring famous works such as Hare Raising, Rabbit Radar, and Free Bird) are prominently displayed in outdoor sculpture gardens along Canyon Road, including at the Meyer Gallery.
The "tall, abstract bird sculpture decorated in mosaic-like shades of blue and green" is by sculptor Don Kennell.
Artist: Don Kennell (DKLA Design), a Santa Fe-based artist renowned for his monumental, vibrant metal animal sculptures.
Title: Fluid Dynamics
Subject: A stylized, swooping swallow in mid-flight featuring a mosaic of fluid, blue and green painted panels.

This blossom was pretty darn big for a tulip, and I just noticed the sun shining through it, and decided to shoot it backlit, with a bit of a reflector to create some fill light.
I took this photo on the day in August when Tidda later got lost, and that's why I never got around to posting it.
It was quite an interesting story in itself. A close group of five or six large Roosevelt elk had come into town. They crossed the busy Highway 101 and settled in this area right by the beach. It may not look it, but this is very near to roads and houses and people walking dogs and tourists on the beach and all kinds of activity. It was quite surprising to see them there and they stayed in that area for several weeks! People who have lived here for decades told me they had never seen them so close to town before.
It seemed they had come for a grazing holiday on the hardy and rough vegetation that grows there, and also to walk on the beach, where I often saw their hoof prints. That's how I was first alerted to their presence.
If I hadn't been so preoccupied with searching for Tidda, I probably could've gotten some nice photos during those weeks they spent by the sea because they were quite tolerant of human onlookers. In fact, they were helpful to me because this was exactly the same area where I suspected that Tidda might be hiding and wherever I saw the elk, I figured I didn't have to search for Tidda there. I also paid attention to their demeanor, hoping I might recognize if they detect a canine presence nearby. I don't know if Tidda ever encountered them.
It's all about tree swallows or redwings right now.
These days it's easier to get the redwings singing than not singing.
This morning on Skye was one to remember. I was going to title this image 'My favorite morning', but I decided that was too specific. The changing light throughout the sunrise was special, yet as I remembered other sunrises on Skye; two gorgeous sunrises at The Old Man of Storr and several colourful sunrises in the Quiraing I could put this morning among my favorites but not THE favorite. Actually I'm hoping my favorite morning on Skye is one that has yet to happen. But here is some background on one of my favorite mornings on Skye . . .
As it was September, the alarm before sunrise was at a more sensible time than during my May visits to Skye. A glance out the window, where the skies seemed to have potential, had me in the car for a quick drive to the Quiraing. I enjoyed the drive from Kilmuir to the Quiraing parking with never seeing another car on the single lane road. Leaving the car in the empty parking area I headed along the path to begin setting up for sunrise. This was a very enjoyable morning at the Quiraing with the constantly changing views. The low clouds would move over the ridge hiding and then revealing various portions of the ridge, while simultaneously the light would shift highlighting sections of the ridge. I remained in place and enjoyed the morning from this location.
From my location at the Quiraing this was the view of the Trotternish Ridge, visible is Cnòc a Mhèrlich, Cleat while Bioda Buidhe is barely discernible in the cloud cover. In this image the shifting light is only highlighting the base of Cleat and portions of Cnòc a Mhèrlich. In the distance the sunlight can be seen highlighting the clouds that are hiding the Trotternish Ridge On the far right of the image is a curve of the Staffin-Uig road as it climbs the Trotternish Ridge.
Those interested in seeing how the shifting light changed that morning can view the Shifting Light Series album where the images are in chronologically order.
I cannot leave here, I cannot stay
Forever haunted, more than afraid
Asphyxiate on words I would say
I'm drawn to a blackened sky as I turn blue
There are no flowers, no, not this time
There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find
I'd show a smile but I'm too weak
I'd share for you, could I only speak, just how much this hurts me
I cannot stay here, I cannot leave
Just like all I loved, I'm make believe
Imagined heart, I disappear
Seems... no one will appear here and make me real...
This male was singing its heart out just before I took this image. I also took a few images of an accompanying wren that I guess was the female. She looks somewhat different than this one. I will post an image of her soon.
This lonely tree caught my eye as it appeared to be traversing the hilltop with the aid of a stick! Taken at Blewburton Hill, South Oxfordshire

This was the first track title I saw today when I opened my playlist, so Take this hammer by the Felice Brothers it is. It was a night that kept hammering opportunities my way, so it sort of fits. I just love wandering among all the rocks and pools looking for light and movement. A night spent in between the waves is a magical one.
Upper Green River Lake, the gateway to the Bridger Wilderness in western Wyoming, is a place that few will ever see, but is one that takes the breath away of those who do.
This morning, as the fog has lifted and was blown away the sun woke up my garden. The dew and the cool air made me take some pics - like this pink aster.

Since I need some winter images for a proper photo calendar i looked for something worth capturing during those days when we had at least a little bit of snow.
Actually the amount of snow we had wasn’t even enough to cover the grass on this hill, so I cloned out hundreds of grass blades, which was great fun.
Not.
If you are into counting, you are welcome to check my assertion based on the original image:

This is an image that I have had in mind for a while. I saw a similar photo a while ago and wanted to have my own try at it. I wanted to put my touch on it and this is what I came up with. We went out in the AM to photograph other parts of the park and noticed a large thunderstorm over in this part of the park. I saw that there was a small window between the clouds and I knew that htis could be the photo I was trying to get! We were able to drive out to this area during a heavy thunderstorm and we were really cutting it short - the clouds were moving quickly and I didn't want to miss my opportunity. As we rounded a corner, BAM - stopped by a flagger! We sat there for what felt like an eternity, which was probably around 10 minutes or so. After they let us through, I rushed to my spot and set up as fast as I could. What was tricky now was how slippery the ground had become. It made me a bit nervous to be standing on the ledge like that with some slippery mud beneath my feet. That said, I was still (barely) able to get my shot in! I was so happy to get some decent light just before it faded out. The wet earth here really makes the color pop and the clouds in the back really added to the mood. I think this image ended up being about 14 images stacked together to make a larger focus stacked panoramic image. The full resolution image is about 200 MP in total. It was a lot of fun to get this image and I really hope you all can enjoy it as much as I do!

this green heron decided to find a better hunting spot across the wetlands
(a rather dull looking bird in the shadows, but get them in the right light...)
This is the uncropped version of my Mischief Managed photo for Eclipse.
This season, eagles seem to be everywhere in Iowa City and Coralville—more than at Lock and Dam No. 14! I’ve been exploring spots like Tailwater, Waterworks Prairie Park, the Iowa Power restaurant area, and Crandic Park along Rocky Shore Dr., searching for the perfect moment. This morning, the light along the Iowa River near Crandic Park was absolutely magical. Eagles were diving and fishing in the distance, just out of reach, but I was lucky enough to catch one in mid-dive—what a thrill to witness and capture!
This pier is used for recreational purposes today and was built in 1957. The original pier is no longer here, but it was used to transport goods to and from Cambria and Hearst Castle. Hearst used the pier to bring in building materials and supplies for the castle on top of the hill. Recent storms this year have closed the pier because of some damage. Normally, you can walk out to the end of the pier and fish or view the wildlife in the area. You can see whales when they are migrating if you are lucky. Great place to stop and visit off of Highway 1.
This is a shot of a pool along Jacob's Fork River in South Mountains State Park. It was getting late when I took this one. Very low light down where I was at, still fairly bright above the canopy. The "golden" color was very nice. This is one of those spots that would've been nearly impossible to get too during normal water flow, but due to the lack of rain recently I was able to get into some spots I hadn't been able to get to in the past.
This Polar Bear reminds me of a dog that has been told to sit, with its hind legs splayed and its front legs together, and keeping eye contact as if awaiting the next command. Except this Polar Bear was sitting nicely because he wanted to. He knew who was the boss, and he was taking orders from nobody. I took this from a Zodiac (inflatable boat) while the bear was sitting on a stony beach on the east coast of Spitsbergen in the Svalbard archipelago. We rounded a blind corner and the bear was there, right in front of us, so this is straight off the camera.
This is lit by hand in less than one second!
he past few months have been mostly about producing higher quality work. This is not very relevant for social media, but I'm obsessed with the idea of scaling up my images for some future projects.
