Looking forward to seeing some iconic locations again soon. Some are always busy, but it's still a pleasure to be there.
Derwent Water is always busy, as I found back in 2019 for this image - finding a perfect view can be tricky sometimes...
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.
Green Grass Dart / Skipper (Ocybadistes walkeri)
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.

It got really windy here. Like, hold onto your hat windy! I laid down on the dock to get this male Bufflehead Duck bobbing up and down. One tough duck to shoot anyhow. You need perfect light to get all those beautiful colors on the head. Shark River NJ.
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.
This morning at sunrise I was standing on the road that goes into our village of homes beholding a beautiful double rainbow enhanced by the approaching socked-in dark storm front. There was a heavy mist falling and blowing in my face, hence the raindrops on the lens. The timing of it all made for a beautiful scene, fleeting as it was!
Female backbird at Golden Acre Park.
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.

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.
It's been hot a few days here (okay, not really hot, but for Portland area, hot), then it cooled. During the hot times, I hung around the yard shooting, but went back to Greenway, and found this Virginia Rail hanging out there. Only the third sighting of one of these birds for me, and the first this year!
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.

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.
With clouds building, there were still occasional breaks that allowed for some filtered sun. One such hole opened up in a timely fashion as CSX L302 came into Howell, MI. through WE Howell.
I didn't know this guy was going to do this, I was just shooting this boat, the High 5, as it pulled up to the fueling dock.
Sometimes I just get the timing right. Pillar Point Harbor, just north of Half Moon Bay, California.
....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.
Timing is everything when trying to get this blast of flame from the 9 O'clock gun in Stanley Park. After about 3 attempts I finally got it.
After watching an eastbound pass by in Durand where the sun started to come out after a couple of isolated storms skirted the area to the north, I saw that L514 was ready to leave Flint after the eastbound got past them in Flint. I went east hoping the cloud line would keep moving east and let that sky work for the afternoon westbound. After a lot of waiting, and anxiously watching the train slowly get closer, the cloud line and blue skies were slowly coming, but it was going to be close. With about 45 seconds to spare, the clouds cleared out, the sky opened up, and the sun cast a warm glow on the land and blackened the sky.
