Really great spell of weather at last, and for once it looks like South Wales may get some snow later in the week, but I've got to go to Scotland for two weeks. It'd be ironic if South Wales has lots of snow and North West Scotland has none . Never mind, I've got to go is by Tiny Dancers, and Scotland is always magical whatever the weather.
I’ve wanted to photograph the feral chickens in a vacant lot near my home for a long time. I decided to organize a Chicken Art theme today at We’re Here! and hope for the best.
It’s still raining, so I consulted the hourly weather app to pick the most optimistic time, packed up my weather resistant Pentax camera, and set out with my fingers crossed. Of course, when I arrived it was too wet out and the chickens, being smarter than I am, were somewhere else warm and dry.
I decided to go do my grocery shopping while I already had the car out, and on my way home I detoured to that little field again, with the slimmest of hopes. There they were! And the sun came out!
Some days the Chicken Gods smile.
I've been posting images of two great horned owlets lately. This image is of another recently fledged owlet on the west coast of Florida. One of the parents was sitting directly above the owlet (not pictured) and the other was in a nearby tree keeping a close eye on junior.

Thanks for visiting and for your faves and comments.
When you've once set foot on the other side
and you can still go back
your foot will never tread the same way again
and little by little you will learn to be on one side and then on the other
It is a learning that later does not want to resign
to that everything else learned, especially love,
learn to do the same.
The other side is the biggest contagion.
Even the eyes themselves change color
and they acquire the transparent tone of fables.

Le Paradis, Ambiance Hideaway (66, 95, 24) - Adulto
I've made an assumption that this is the female - she's a bit bigger than her mate and a much shyer bird. This is the first time I've been able to photograph her, although she sometimes keeps an eye on me from the trees while I'm sitting in the hide freezing :o)
She's slightly different in her colouring too, although ideally both owls would perch together for a proper comparison (sometimes it's okay to dream!)
Thanks as always to everyone who takes the time to stop and look, it is always very much appreciated
I've lived in Alaska for 23 years now and have only seen bison three times. The first two times the herd was on the Deltana River at least a half mile away. The third time, five bison came to within 25 yard of us. We were on our way to see family near Tok Alaska when we seen these bison walking in a clearing. Needless to say, we, my wife and I were really excited to see them. We only had a few minutes with them, they turned and went back into the woods, but wow, what an experience.
These bison are part of a herd that was introduced to Alaska back in 1928.
Retiring and watching a part of me fade away. Watching what has made me into an adult fade away. Looking at myself saying that chapter is over, but hopeful for the next chapter. We've got this.

I've had a shot like this in the back of my mind pretty much every trip we've made to Florida. I've wanted a roseate spoonbill posing in a tree but the opportunity never seemed to arise. Until this past November. The spoonbills roosted in the afternoons over a stretch of water that would make a really nice image. Except the light was bad; there were branches in the way; the birds were too far away, etc, etc. After many attempts and much time waiting and waiting..... finally, one afternoon it all came together! Now next time..................
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

Ve středu 16. října 2019 svedl tým hokejistů Bílí Tygři Liberec utkání s týmem Augsburger Panther. Fanoušci Německého týmu pojali cestu za svým týmem velkoryse a vypravili se do Liberce zvláštním vlakem. S třinácti vozovou soupravou z Děčína do Liberce přes Křižanské sedlo bojovali brejlovci 754.031 a 754.061, kterým na postrku vypomáhala zamračená 749.121. Právě zamračená je zachycena na postrku vlaku Ex95951 v úseku Jablonné v Podještědí - Lvová.
I've seen the world, lit it up as my stage now.
Channeling angels in a new age now.
Hot summer days, rock and roll, the way you play for me at your show and all the ways, I got to know your pretty face and electric soul.
Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?
I know you will

I’ve lost a bit of mojo getting out to the beach for photography these last couple of months. I’ve been giving too much priority to working out and partying. In my defence it was Christmas and New Year I guess. Time to change that! I think I’ve found my motivation in a 100X group on Flickr , where you commit to taking 100 photos of subject “X”. Not to be confused with 100 X-rated photos 😉 So I’ve committed to taking 100 new “Waterscapes” this coming year. I’ve been to all but a couple of the coast’s 49 beaches , but why not go back and enjoy them all over again . They are always fun to visit and there is always something new & different to see. And I haven’t paid anywhere near enough attention to our 4 large lakes and numerous rivers, creeks and bays. Besides, I don’t think I have enough seascapes in my gallery 😂
So this is waterscape photo 1 of 100 for 2025.
Hope everyone is having a great week! Thanks for all the kind comments , they are always greatly appreciated.
I've been trying to get out for a little fresh air before I start work everyday but with daylight starting so much closer to work time my chances to grab a shot are getting very limited, and I probably have to accept I will soon be doing just long exposure shots.
On my brief morning jaunt routine I noticed that a local wood had become swampy in the middle and I thought had aspects that looked a bit like a mangrove swamp. On a return visit I realised that I must have had my romantic glasses on and that "the swamp" had a more sinister feel about it.
So I was excited when this morning I woke and saw the local forecast showed "FOG". Well what a load of b@ll@cks that was. Not even a thin veil of the misty stuff.! But nonetheless self-discipline dictated I must head out for a short walk in the gloom. And stopped briefly to grab a few shots in the swampy bit in the semi-dark. But came away very unimpressed with my results. And now I'm not sure proper fog will make it any better
The relatively balmy weather we've had this January means that there is no ice on the Mississippi, and thus the eagles are spread out. We saw quite a few of them-- well over 50-- but they all along a number of miles of the river, rather than being concentrated at the locks. They also were able to fish the entire width of the river, which resulted in more distant fishing shots like this one. The 'Eagle Days' event in Clarksville Missouri was packed with people, though.
I've long had a fascination with the Pittsburgh & West Virginia but have never made the effort it would take to try to railfan the east end of the railroad. Given an opportunity to try chasing a good Wheeling train west out of Connellsville on a beautiful March afternoon it was well worth the hours of driving to get there. The P&WV's "high & dry" nickname is well earned as the railroad climbs immediately out of Connellsville for a cross country hilltop hopping route through the mountains over a series of impressive bridges. The first of the two major river crossings on the way to Pittsburgh is the Banning bridge over the Youghiogheny River. On the right you can see CSX's original B&O mainline which followed the river from Connellsville and is now well below the "high & dry". Wheeling train 617 has the special painted "Ohio" unit on the point along with two in corporate paint which isn't easy to get on this part of the railroad. There was some unfortunate glare on the third unit which I photoshopped out but overall I was still pretty happy to get a shot of a train on the former P&WV here. Banning, PA 3/21/21
Yesterday I was looking at another user's awesome owl photos and t has been months since I've seen/heard any owls. So... I said to myself "it would be so awesome if I could just go outside and photograph an owl" I kid you not, around 3 am I hear a few deep owl hoots right across the street! I was so excited I could barely hold the camera straight :-) Thank you universe.

I've just returned from another trip to Serbia, leading a Bird Photography Tour for 3 clients. One of the highlights was the fabulous Bee-eater colony. Here the light was very soft which I found much more appealing for capturing the birds' plumage.
I’ve passed this tree and the one next to it in the field plenty of times on my travels, and always check in on the crops surrounding them in the hope of poppies. This year there’s a few scattered around the edges but nothing I could get in frame so I picked out this composition which I quite like.
Maybe next year for the poppies......
I think I’ve solved our winter energy crisis!
When the lights get turned off between 4 and 7 on those dark winter nights you just need to turn on a few fairy lights!
Problem solved!
I would suggest that there is a double benefit in that when they stop working, you could just sauté then in a little butter and that’s supper sorted too, however these bonnets are not toxic but have no nutritional value, a bit like a cream cracker in that respect.
So far I’ve collected about 150 and arranged them strategically around the house and guess what happened when I turned all the lights off…….…..yes, **** all!
The drawing board beckons, or was it the corkscrew?

I've recently watched an interview with Salvador Dali where he was stating that all his artwork are based on his dreams coming to him 10 minutes before he was fully asleep.
Dali learned over time to take control of his lucid dream state and with that, he mastered accessing his subconscious and used what he had found in his act of creating. Of course, the way he materialized what he found is truly amazing as well, in any ways, all his artwork are now fascinating manifestations of one man's creative mind, ideas and experiences, for all of us to see and wonder about.
This all made me think, this 10 minutes time period of lucid dream state, mystical space before we all are fully gone somewhere else; I cannot help noticing a parallel notion happening in the way nature behaves just before it awakes or falls asleep; the most unexpected, wonderous and profound events, colours, particles, sensations are seem to manifest themselves in those couple of minutes of lucid dream states of nature, just before it all settles again.

I've posted photos of the oats harvest here in Howard County in the past couple weeks and here's the culmination of that process - threshing time. From right to left: a gasoline engine that turns a big belt that powers the threshing machine; the oats bundles being unloaded from a horse-drawn wagon that brought them in from the field where they'd been stored in the shocks; the big gray threshing machine that sorts the grain from the chaff; the oats is going into the wood wagon mostly hidden behind the threshing machine; the long gray tube carrying the chaff to a stationary baling machine that makes small square bales; the bales being loaded up on wagons and ready to be carried back to the barn. My Grandpa Reis threshed oats this same way only three miles away and I helped to throw bundles off the wagon and into the threshing machine just like you see here but a half-century ago so this was life as I knew it growing up. Grandpa farmed with tractors rather than horses starting in the 1940s though.
We've arrived at our destination for a prolonged Easter weekend on the Welsh island of Anglesey, Today we were still very lucky with weather although the forecast had announced the customary dreadful British weather ;) Here a capture of the pier within Menai strait as seen from the island of Anglesey with the peaks of Snowdonia in the backdrop..
I've been waiting ages to be able to use this title!
Local info: I couldn't drive up to the barn in my Ford Focus, I needed a Chelsea Tractor.
Sorry I've not been posting much, I've just not had the time to get out with my camera. I did manage out at sunset last night and snapped this. I liked how everything appeared orange despite the fact that ot was bitterly cold.
You've seen it a thousand times, but you're not tired of it yet. It's business as usual on the Montana Rail Link this afternoon as the ML rounds the bend at Jens, Montana and passes the "Second Most Photographed Barn in Montana" with a matched pair of Aussie SD70ACes and a modest-sized train of odds and ends to disperse throughout the trip. I thought about trying to shake it up a little bit as I followed the train east from Missoula, but I just couldn't help myself with this classic little post card.
