This is a handheld shot with incredible still water - A small snow squall had just passed and the weather changed in an instant. 15 minutes earlier this scene had choppy water. As my goal on this shoot was sunset, I had time to double back and re-shoot spots.
GPS is for Stansbury Island and not the exact spot of the photo.
i wish i had thought to do this earlier, before the snow started melting. sigh. but hey. proof positive that timing is key. had i been on top of it, i might have (well, maybe) focused it better.
No real story here, it just made me laugh. I do try to take my photography seriously, I do. I just could not resist. If I told you he was at Machu Picchu you would all say ts ok. He was on San Juan Island if that makes it any more valid to post. Enjoy.

Timing? Or just good luck?
I was actually trying to get a shot of one of the Native Bees that was on the Dandelion, the bee left a microsecond before I clicked. When I looked at the image I saw I had the Skipper in flight and with tongue out as it approached the Dandelion. I'll take it - I have never captured a Skipper in flight before.

The Martini bell tower was destroyed by the Germans in WWII, just one day before the liberation. The tower fell into the church.
Due to the lack of financial resources the church and tower were restored in 1965.
This shot was taken at National Remembrance Day, what a metaphor.

Getting the timing right for a shot like this is all down to luck.
These guys as they were two years ago were trying to out muscle their winter cousins the redwings, in the battle for the choicest berry.

As always I extend my sincere appreciation to all those who take the time to stop by and comment on my photos.

Potluck..Seen at Gibraltar point sailing club where a kind gentleman told me all the yachts would be lowered by crane into the river the following weekend...my timing is always off but never mind , this abandoned liite hulk will get its five minutes of fame instead lol....
Btw this was taken just a week or so ago, I noticed my Fuji x100v was bracketing exposure and iso..have no idea how I did that because I did not set it up to bracket.
I altered the settings to stop the bracketing and set to single shot. However it must have gone to default settings. I did notice and fully intended to remove the date to upload date but forgot 🤔
Located on the River Steeping at Gibraltar Point nature reserve, the last accessible part of the medieval port of Wainfleet Haven.
Being located at the entrance to the Wash, the club is ideal for exploring the nearby ports and harbours of the Norfolk coast as well as venturing further in, to the mystical Wash with its shifting sands and unique wildlife.
Apologies Nigel, also to anyone else who may have bothered to fave this shot before I had to move it to today. This shot seems to be entirely jinxed and dropped back 3 days lol..it is in its rightful place now..
It all depends upon the timing. I should know, I am a drummer. There were so many times I would be stopped at the beginning of a song and told it's too fast or it is too slow.
Then upon some study I found out that almost, or the majority of songs were in the same speed. Very little differences.
Happy Whatever day it is.

Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!
This stallion ( on the left) was trying to cozy up to some of the females who had young foals. The females seemed annoyed with him haha.
Kairos is an Ancient Greek word meaning the right, critical, or opportune moment. Kairos signifies a proper or opportune time for action. (from Wikipedia)
The sun came out illuminating the tower behind the winter tree branches just as I was about to take the photo. Perfect timing.
Thank you for taking the time to visit, comment, fave or invite. I really appreciate them all.

A timing effort I probably couldn’t pull of again no matter how hard I tried. Guinness hopped out of the car and had some fun running around in the fields while Mattbro and I lensed up the passing KBS train headed for Lafayette on the “diagonal” portion of the railroad near Otterbein. I knew he passed in front of me while I was laying in the field bursting away, but it wasn’t until looking through them later that I realized that in one particular image, his back legs more-or-less framed up the lead unit, and one of his front legs nicely covered up an ugly high-tension power pole blocking the train.
I thought the resulting image was pretty enjoyable to look at and made a great memory.
....we both got a little wet 😄

Yeah, I know they're 'just' Mute Swans, but I couldn't not take this shot as the pair drifted through water rendered black by the reflection of the black barge behind them.
I went with about 10 great folks from the photo club last night to catch sunset and moonrise at this cool location which can only be accessed at low tide. So we are walking on sand and muddy sand....the ocean floor....tide was way out so the timing of everything was perfect and it was a great night at about 16C. Thanks to Mike who set it up and Ros who did some lightpainting on the rocks. I would love to go back and try some night shots here again but only with a crowd....kind of spooky walking back in the dark listening to coyotes in the distance and stumbling up the muddy banks by flashlight. This was a couple of shots merged in lightroom HDR
How I got this shot, I don't know, but I was extremely lucky to get the bird entering the water before making a splash
Luckily the Short Eared Owls (only 2) waited until 20 minutes after I got to the site to show themselves. Normally you either wait all day for a brief glimpse - or turn up just after the action.
This Garter snake was enjoying the hot summer weather after it had just finished moulting/shedding its skin that was still right beside it. Clearly it had outgrown its old skin and it was time for a newer model.
Flickr friends, what do you think ? This is the original, straight out of the camera, but I thought it looked a bit squintbso I cropped it, see version 2. But now I think they both look a bit squint, it's irritating,,because the one I posted on IG is more satisfactory, but theynwon't let me share! Oh well , if anyone has time I'd appreciate your comments :)
