Two cockatoos in my back yard

A pair of Green Moray eels (Gymnothorax Prasinus) pose in greeting 😉 during a night dive in Swansea Channel, near Newcastle, Australia.

From last night ... the light was rather nice ... so I went for a walk ... however, as soon as I got moving it clouded over :(

But!!! the sun popped out for a little hello and I lay in a soggy field and voila :D

The photographer makes the crowd I guess.

Good morning everyone. Just two quick pics of Red-shouldered Hawks (Buteo lineatus). The one on the left being a juvenile I photographed back in mid October and posted a few pics around the same time.

The one on the right is a mature adult that I photographed a few days ago. Not sure why it was on the ground at the time, but my guess is it missed an opportunity to catch some prey. Most likely a chipmunk.

I posted both pics for better viewing in the comment section and my stream. The the bird on the left was much closer at the time I photographed it and as a result is a much better pic as far as clarity. The one of the adult bird was taken at a much greater distance and with less available light due to a heavy overcast. As a result it's not as clear and sharp as the pic of the juvenile due to a higher ISO and more cropping.

Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you're having a truly nice week.

I was not about to post today but then I realized that it's exactly two years since I joined Flickr today. :-) Of course I have to celebrate with two pink flowers. I'm so glad for all people I've "met" and the inspiration you share daily!

Happy (pink) Tuesday!

Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊

This picture was taken in the Fall - Oct of 2020 at Two Jack Lake, Banff, Alberta. I wanted to get a nice picture of my feet with this wonderful background_however I did not have my butt anchored properly and I could not manage to keep my right foot up while maintaining butt contact on the slope (probably due to loss of shape with all the covid home eating)_ I was leaning on my backpack instead and I was slipping down on the dead dry grass on this slope.

Another photo of a bush dog with another one in the background, I really like this photo!

Two in One - These are just two of the waterfalls that make up the Watkins Glen State Park. It is a magnificent place to hike and enjoy the powers of nature. The problem I had was the amount of people and trying to take a photograph without someone in it. You can see more at RandyRobertsPhotography.com

Busseau sur Creuse, 23 France. Taken from the same position as the previous photo, but looking north towards the road bridge, which carries the D50 road across the river. I'm not sure how old this is, but I suspect it was built near the end of the 18thC. This was the first time I've used Foma 200 since it's recall, and sad to say, it still seems very vulnerable to scratches, but this might be due in part to the fairly primitive finish of the Hongmei! Taken for International Commie Camera Days 2013, with a 1970's Chinese made folding camera.

...telling a secret in the bathroom. At least that's what it looks like to me.

Done and done, and I'm still not ready for the day. I'm not sure when this heat wave started, but we're in for another week of 100+ degree days and no rain for relief. It's really getting boring being stuck inside all day. I do some yardwork every day, but can only stand it for an hour or two.

Good news, though! Next week the highs are supposed to take a nose dive down to 99 degrees all week!
