I was looking over the edge at the Snake river canyon in Kuna Idaho and I was as surprised to see him as he was to see me.

It was so nice to see all the birds at the platform at the entrance to Colusa National Wildlife Refuge. There were birds everywhere and we were excited to get this pair of Ross’s Geese flying high together.
Both Ross’s and Snow Geese have seen population explosions as climate change has warmed their arctic breeding grounds, reducing snow cover and increasing plant growth. The two species seem to be hybridizing more frequently as warming allows their breeding ranges to come into contact.
i was driving on a dirty road looking for birds when i saw a shape at my right.
i'm used to find owls that are very mimetic and cannot be search easily with a sight.
the best thing to do with all the wild animals is to be used to their shape.
so i stopped the car and i came back...nothing there...but i decided to wait a bit and after a minute ...
peekaboo!!! a curious spotted eagle owl (bubo africanus) rose from behind some rocks.
i really love these birds!!

This image was “Focus Stacking” with six shots in different focus points, which was in order to get the sharpness of the foreground and the details of the whole background.
Thank you for taking the time to view this image, hope you like it. Wishing you a blessed week and happy snapping wherever!

Uncertain what i was attempting to achieve here, but I had fun trying out different effects.
We finally got some snow! I took the opportunity to visit O'Bannon to celebrate and get some snowy shots. Unfortunately the mid afternoon sun was working against me. The little bit of snow (about half an inch) melted quite fast, creating scenes like this.

Something to make you laugh
When we first started getting into wildlife photography (and still struggling to tell the difference between a chicken and an Eagle) we noticed this 'brownish' bird occasionally exploding from the long grass., then flying off at high speed
Urmm.. was that a small raptor!?
Well no., it's actually a Skylark! durrr! well you have to learn these things!
There was something about the way the light lit up this scene that caught my eye. The little remnants of autumn on the young beech amid the wonderful chaos of the woodland floor. Taken in my second home of Hillock Wood, Buckinghamshire
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."

Holdin' me back
Gravity's holdin' me back
I want you to hold out the palm of your hand
Why don't we leave it at that?
Nothin' to say
When everything gets in the way
Seems you cannot be replaced
And I'm the one who will stay, oh
In this world, it's just us
You know it's not the same as it was
In this world, it's just us
You know it's not the same as it was
As it was, as it was
You know it's not the same
This photo was made last Friday morning on the way to a customer appointment. It felt like it had been raining non-stop for two days, but shortly before my arrival the cloud cover suddenly opened up and at least gave a glimpse of sunrise.
I was amazed by the mood lighting. Now all I needed was something to photograph as a foreground. Just at that moment I drove past this place and the decision was made. I turned, drove back and floated across the field in a suit and business shoes to find a composition before the window closed again. The picture, cold fingers and protective shoes were the result.
Dieses Foto entstand am letzten Freitag morgens auf dem Weg zu einem Kundentermin. Es hatte gefühlt zwei Tage ununterbrochengeregnet, doch kurz vor meiner Ankunft öffnete sich plötzlich die Wolkendecke und liess den Sonnenaufgang zumindest erahnen.
Ich war begeistert von der Lichtstimmung. Nun brauchte ich nur noch etwas, was ich als Vordergrund fotografieren konnte. Just in diesem Moment fuhr ich an dieser Stelle hier vorbei und die Entscheidung war gefallen. Ich wendete, fuhr zurück und bin mit Anzug und Business-Schühchen über das Feld geschwebt um eine Komposition zu finden, bevor sich das Fenster wieder schließt. Das Bild, kalte Finger und schutzige Schuhe waren das Ergebnis.

I came across this place on the way to somewhere else and waited for some movement. Gave up and walked away but on the way back someone was there!

This was the view I saw when I woke in a small island in Teijo National Park. Before that I saw a dream where I was fighting against ninjas but that's a different story...
This moment at the evening, when the sun is setting into the ocean, is always a breathtaking view. To experience this on such a beautiful place like Praia de Melides was something really special for me.
I did walk for a while up and down the edge of the cliff looking for a suitable location for that photo and it was so difficult to decide. In the end, it was this tiny biotope what did draw my attention the most.
Just imagine You are a resident of this isolated world. Everything seems to be normal for You. You do Your daily work trying to make ends meet. But one day You are able to see the big picture and You realise, that the part of the world You call Your home, it's actually the only part of it what is left. How would this recognition change You future decitions ?
Der Moment, wenn die Sonne am Abend im Meer versinkt ist immer ein atemberaubender Anblick. Diesen dann noch an einem so wunderschönen Ort wie dem Praia de Melides zu verbringen war etwas ganz Besonderes für mich.
Ich bin lange am Rande der Küste auf und abgewandert um nach einer geeigneten Stelle für dieses Foto zu suchen und es fiel mir unheimlich schwer, mich zu entscheiden. Am Ende war es dieses kleine Biotop, was mich am meissten angezogen hat.
Stell dir vor, Du bis ein Bewohner dieser isolierten Welt. Alles scheint für Dich normal zu sein. Du gehst deinem Tagwerk nach und versuchst über die Runden zu kommen. Doch eines Tages hast Du die Möglichkeit das große Ganze zu sehen und Du erkennst, dass der Teil der Welt, den Du Deine Heimat nennst in Wirklichkeit das Letzte, ist was von dieser noch übrig ist. Wie würde diese Erkenntnid Deine zukünftigen Entscheidungen beeinflussen ?

And he was successful. Seconds later, he caught a Zitting Cisticola for a meal. This is a migratory raptor from Central Asia that come in large numbers during winters to India. They can be commonly seen across the countryside and mostly in grasslands where they roost communally.
We sighted one on this fence preening and he spent around 5 minutes cleaning himself up. Then suddenly he dived flew behind the vehicle and landed in a far away field. He had a Zitting Cisticola, a small warbler in his claws which he finished pretty quickly.
Thanks so much in advance for your views, faves and feedback.
This year I was extremely honored to submit my first participation to the Winter Soirée 2021 : Bold and Beautiful project. I want to thank Lawrence Pryce for his professionalism and guidance throughout the whole process.
Over 90 photographers were asked to partake in this round and each picture is absolutely breathtaking !
I vividly recommend you to have a look at all the masterpieces displayed in one of the most beautiful setting I have ever seen : Mansion Foyer
(Special thanks to my friend Ticha for her recommandation !)

I was never so beautiful as my dreams were........
During one of those " Under the affuence of incohol " conversations with two friends, brothers in fact,
the chat turned to dreams, after much thought provoking and quite serious supposition and theory expounding, i casually said, "In reality it is all probably just inconsequential sleep memory" ....... it didn't go down quite as well as the beer had. ;-))
Another two images recycled......................
Spinalonga, was the last leper colony in Europe....
in 1579 the Venetians built a mighty fortress here on the ruins of an ancient acropolis. The Venetians kept control of the island even after the rest of Crete fell to the Ottomans in 1669 and it remained under their control for almost another half a century until its capitulation in 1715.
It was my first time at Myakka River State Park located above Naples in SW Florida. I camped there which gave me the opportunity to photograph earlier than their 8am opening time. There were several Black Skimmers working the mouth of the river and I liked the particular pose this one gave me. They are contact feeders, dragging their lower mandible through the water with reflexes fast enough to clamp on a fish immediately upon contact, bending their head under them to absorb the impact and maybe provide some microseconds of time to secure their prey. It’s amazing they don’t break their necks on hard objects, but I’ve never seen even one with a broken bill; although I suspect it happens.

This was taken on a road trip at the end of February while on a wee mini road trip to see the deer. Great to feel the weather warm up now. But these are the most spectacular falls - I've always loved them ever since I first saw them on the cover of a fishing book I had. Can't remember the name of the book though.
The massif de l'esterel are very nice uplands in a large part made of red porphyr, a vulcanic rock. It used to produce dyes out of it. And it was and is a very popular building material.
Das Massif de L'Esterel ist ein sehr schönes Mittelgebirge, was zum großen Teil aus roten Porphyr, einem vulkanisches Gestein, besteht. Früher wurde es zur Herstellung von Farbstoffen verwendet. Außerdem war und ist er ein begehrtes Baumaterial.
It is well known that the lakes in the Upper Engadine freeze at an altitude around 1800 metres in winter, and I wanted to experience this for myself. I travelled there in mid-February in the most beautiful weather - and it was far too warm for the time of year! But the Lake Sils was frozen and I - like many others - hiked across it to the mouth of the Aua da Fedoz. There, however, the lake was open and formed gorgeous ice sculptures. I just had to make sure that the ice under my feet was stable enough, a cold bath would have been a bit unpleasant...
Es ist bekannt, dass die Seen im Oberengadin auf rund 1800 Meter im Winter gefrieren, und das wollte ich einmal selber erleben. Mitte Februar bin ich bei schönstem Wetter hingereist - und es war viel zu warm für die Jahreszeit! Doch der Silsersee war zugefroren und ich bin - wie viele andere auch - darüber gewandert bis zur Flussmündung der Aua da Fedoz. Dort war der See allerdings offen und bildete wunderschöne Eisskulpturen. Ich musste beim Fotografieren nur gut aufpassen, dass das Eis unter meinen Füssen stabil genug war, ein kaltes Bad wäre etwas unangenehm gewesen...
