I am no photographer and took this just on my phone! But I thought it was a lovely pic.
Apologies to all the great photographer Flickr friends on here but I liked it!
This is the city's popular spot for walks. You've got a beautiful park along side the sea and some wildlife.
This beautiful tree is a Japanese Maple, and is in the Japanese Garden in Washington Park, Portland. We are just getting some really beautiful fall color now.
My thanks to you all for your wonderful comments and fave's! It is heartwarming and inspiring to me.
Its got to be Large
I picked up the 70 -200 F2.8 just before we left and i have been shooting panos with it as well as shallow dof shots
It has a very shallow dof when shooting close up but shooting with a large aperture at distance it has a great dof which surprised me
I don`t think I like this lot of changes to Flickr ..... everything seems so diffficult to do
This Swainson's hawk was eating a prairie dog when I drove up. Here, it's paused for a second, to have its portrait taken.
I'd never seen a dark-morph Swainson's hawk before, which led to me mis-identifying this as a rough-legged hawk.
This year marks the 200th birthday of this great Austrian composer. Here you can see the Bruckner bust in Vienna's Stadtpark, which was unveiled three years after Bruckner's death.
Bruckner ‘was an Austrian composer of the Romantic period as well as an organist and university teacher. Only recognised by his contemporaries late in life, he was nevertheless one of the most important and innovative composers of his time and his works had a great influence on music history well into the 20th century.
His most important and probably best-known compositions are his large-scale eleven symphonies.’

Brahms zu Bruckner am Wirtshaustisch: "Ihre Symphonien, mein lieber Bruckner, versteh' ich nicht!" Darauf Bruckner nach Verstreichen einer Schrecksekunde: "Akkurat so geht's ma mit Ihnare!" www.derstandard.at/adblockwall/story/3000000234993/wie-an...
This was the most intense aurora I’ve ever seen. With a jaw-dropping corona above, dancing curtains, rotating vortices and lightning-like events extending all the way to each horizon, nearly every square inch of the sky – for a full 360 degrees – was filled with color. This was taken about 150 miles north of the arctic circle, during a geomagnetic storm that registered a Kp=6. Moments like this quickly make up for weeks in the unbearable cold.
For those interested, I've written an article on photographing the aurora HERE
This one did not meet description but as it was crop day I had to do more than one page! Pi of my eldest daughter when she was 2.
The sign outside made me chuckle when I noticed the lady inside who appears to be giving instruction to the other, telling her the way it’s to be done. This photo was taken with a Contax 139 & Carl Zeiss 50mm with Ilford HP5 film pushed to 1600 iso

This species has phenomenal range from southern Canada and across two thirds of the United States from North Dakota down to Texas, from New England down to Florida, and the Gulf Coast to Central Mexico. It is a well-known species, but not commonly encountered. I was quite surprised to find it in Texas.
Family Nymphalidae/Nymphalinae
Sanity can be measured by the simplest things in life.

While editing this shot of a Common Grackle, my first thought was of phrase that my granddaughter said often while in her two’s. When she needed you to repeat what you had said she would pivot in your direction, tighten her brow and sweetly ask “Wa-you-say,” as if it were a single word. This phrase made us laugh and warmed our hearts every time! I often thought it should be her Indian name…if she were Indian.
Now that she is a much more mature three, she has refined her speech and I haven’t heard it for a while. I have no doubt that my wife and I will use it the rest of our lives.

I have a soft spot for these old fashioned, pointing hand "this way" style of signs. This is actually a modern one homaging that classic design, on the side of a Tattoo Parlour at Tollcross, thought it suited a quick B&W close up
This is the outside of the image I posted yesterday. While walking around shooting, I noticed this old structure had fallen down and used it for the foreground of this shot. It won't be long until the home crumbles and falls too.
In the comment box is an image of the view through two windows of this home, and a textured image of this same place from last June.

This Ladybug was all snug like a bug in a rug deep inside a Dahlia flower. I did check to make sure she was alive and she was. Reminded me that we all have to take solace and close the doors to the outside world even if for a little while.
During summertime its a hectic boatlife here, sailing in and out, eating a meal on the restaurant, or just sitting and enjoying the scenery ♥
The light is very nice here, like today frosty fog and sun makes you stop and enjoy 🙏

This little one was puffed up this evening in late sunshine light and temperatures around freezing. Recommend zooming in large to take in those feather details.
