Was a treat to see all 3 Jaegers in Nome. However, seeing the elegant Long-tailed gave me the most thrill . They are the most common Skua in Nome but the rarest Jaeger here. It was neat to watch these birds hover gracefully over the tundra with their stunning tails. Here a very tame Long-tailed Jaeger sits peacefully on the arctic tundra.
There really is "No place like Nome."
I was thrilled to have captured this Forster's Tern in flight (bif not being my forte) and I like the fact that a person is included in the frame. It puts the bird in context and shows how they both share the same space. This picture was taken early in the morning in Daytona Beach, Florida, last February.
Thank you kindly for your support and comments.
Un gros merci de votre soutien et de vos commentaires.

Hello my dears!! ^.^ I hope you are thrilled and impressed by this photo as I have enjoyed doing it. I’ve clearly tried to build on one of the scenes with Amanda Bear from the famous Saw Saga.
I wanted to convey a dirty and agonizing touch in the photo, to portray the scene as similar as possible, all wearing the new LANEVO mask, which does not lack any detail.
As always. I hope with emotion that you like it. A big hug!! <3

¡Hola mis queridos!! ^.^ Espero que os emocione e impacte esta foto como lo que he disfrutado haciéndola. Claramente he intentado basarme en una de las escenas con Amanda Bear, de la famosa Saga Saw.
Quería transmitir un toque sucio y agónico en la foto, para retratar la escena lo más similar posible, todo ello portando la nueva máscara de LANEVO, a la cual no le falta detalle alguno.
Como siempre. Espero con emoción que os guste. Un fuerte abrazo!! <3

Well I am most thrilled to say it’s another first for these pages and boy what a scoop it is!!
What you are looking at there folks is a genuine Sky Harvester, or an Awyr Cynaeafwr as they are called here in greenest Wales. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Wales, this small and sparsley populated land, is not just a world leader in this kind of green technology, but decades ahead of the rest of the field.
The drivers of these high-tech gizmos are locally known as ‘Mad Maxers’ and this one here, he’s about to turn left and head towards those clouds you see there. When he gets directly below, he will extend those telescopic side arms upwards and they will in effect, snag the cloud which is then dragged back down to earth and then towed off to a Cwmwl Ysguboe for storage. These Cwmwl Ysgubors or ‘Cloud Barns” are, as you can imagine, enormous great affairs, but as you would expect from the creators of such advanced tech, great care has been taken to blend them into the countryside by making them look like hills. They can be seen throughout my landscape photos and I could easily point them out, but unless you have a keen trained eye - one like mine, you would mistakenly think you are just looking at an ordinary hill. Sigh. I know, I know ….frustrating right…. What can I say……apart from this is why Wales is so hilly - cloud barns.
In times of severe drought, the cloud barn is opened up and a cloud towed out to the brown and parched field. It is then caused to dissolve in effect through vibrational frequency undulation - but not another hi-tech gizmo, oh no, the method employed here is traditional and hands on. The entire inclusive green community will turn out men, women, children, babes in arms, grandmas and grandpas, and they will sing as one, as only a Welsh choir can sing and as they do they march bravely into the cloud voices undulating as they sing the song “the green green grass of home” which was famously introduced into the world psyche by the Welsh fertility god, boombox, Vegas blue rinse babe magnet, and some might say pop-singing Priapus incarnate, the icon and indisputable true King of all Wales by both birth and deed, the living legend that is - (put your hands together and have your underwear at hand) - Mr ….. Sir …..Tom …… Jones! And, as the inclusive eco friendly community choir close the song down, the cloud in effect melts and hey presto! We have rain, and of course, a very wet inclusive choir and re-greened agricultural field.
And that is why, generally speaking, Welsh people are such unbelievably fabulous singers with voices like angels, because from the earliest age, they have learned to sing in the clouds……

For the secret of the sea,
And the heart of the great ocean
Sends a thrilling pulse through me.

It has been a difficult week, an insane heatwave,
four days of temps above 105F, dense smoke choking out PDX from the Canadian fires, and to make matters worse,
i am fighting a terrible bout of bronchitis .
We escaped to the coast where the temperature reached 90F, unheard of in these parts, finally a real beach day in Oregon :D
stay cool my friends, happy sliderssunday!
At the liberation music festival in The Hague / The Netherlands. This is the second image I took from this small, old fashioned looking carousel. This time I stood a bit closer and caught adults enjoying the thrill of flying through the air :)

My Flickr friend, Sue (you can find her here: flic.kr/ps/25bYHh recently posted a photo of a Bobolink. I had commented that I'd never seen one before and would have to keep my eyes open. Sure enough, on a photo walk this afternoon, we saw a couple of them. This one, like most of my other wildlife subjects, refused to sit still for long but I did manage to catch a few images of him at the top of a small tree before he flew off again. I used spot metering with a one stop over exposure so he wouldn't just be a dark blob against that light cloudy sky. Predictably, it resulted in a high key effect but at least it kept some detail in the bird. I was just thrilled to see him at all.

I take pictures at Fairchild Garden every Sunday. A few weeks ago I was thrilled to see 5 young Iguanas on a Palm Tree! Now they are growing up under the watchful eye of this young adult. They scattered as I approached to take this shot.
Important to know: Iguanas are capable of severely injuring people, other animals and themselves when their body language signals are not recognized. Most iguanas clearly sign that trouble is ahead. They nod their head and wave their dewlap side to side. The dewlap is a fold of loose skin hanging from the neck or throat of an animal, such as a cow.
Iguanas use their dewlap to communicate. First, an extended dewlap can simply be a greeting, away to say hello to another creature during mating but most generally as a territorial sign. Second, it can be a form of protection. A threatened iguana may extend its dewlap to intimidate a predator into thinking it is much larger than it is. Third, an extended dewlap may be a sign that the iguana is trying to adjust its temperature. An extended dewlap on an iguana basking in the sun is quite normal. It may be catching more sun to warm up or a breeze to cool off. So it's important to see "the big picture" when reading Iguana body language.

I live in the mountain west, and I get to see amazing wildlife. Even though we are in a subdivision, Elk bed down in our yard, deer cause traffic jams, and occasionally a moose or a bear comes to visit the area. The nearby mountains offer even more opportunity. But this day was the thrill of the summer. Mountain goats stay to themselves high on the peaks and tundra. I don't remember previously being this close to them. Unfortunately, some tourists were being very aggressive toward, and disrespectful of this herd, so they moved away. It was wonderful though, to watch them for a few minutes, here in the brightly colored tundra. Amazing.
Imagine the thrill of sliding gracefully along the northern face of the San Juan Mountains. Mount Sneffels, 14,158 feet above sea level, is to the right.
Another image I took last week while at Chalky Beach (near Swansea, NSW; Australia) for sunrise.
I liked the way the incoming water created nice patterns around the base of the rock in front of me here....
Nice light, colour and interest helps balance the overall image too :-)
Again - I hope you like this (and the return to my usual seascapes!) - thanks for checking them out.
