Well there's no escaping the fact I was was watching the birdie(s) at the botanical garden in Deshaies. I literally have a stack of photos of them and from there!
Tentatively I am am thinking that this could be one of the last holiday shots....I say that but I am still trawling through them, so there may be one or two more. If not, you might find my stream barren for a while as it is winter here and you know I don't do winter well! I might have to sift through the archives until my next trip.
I have to say, in case you haven't guessed by now this last trip was an absolute gem of a trip and a favourite of mine. I would recommend this cruise and the locations visited, it was fabulous. I would happily do the same trip again.
Got to the Watch tower to kill ONE dragon before done had 3 show up in the end. Took Ambrosia, Stragon, Vilja and Galen, 3 guards and 4 Thalmor to take them down. Was a real battle , started at level 9 ended at level 11 lol
Will give the Thalmor points they wade right in to battle with nothing more then daggers and a what little magic they have.
The silhouette of a black cat is sitting on a windowsill and watching autumnal leaves flutter to the ground outside.
Watch carefully,
the magic that occurs,
when you give a person,
just enough comfort,
to be themselves.

Whilst driving through a country lane, i pulled into a junction and saw this mirror with the sign Neighbourhood Watch. I thought it a bit different as there were no houses around and i couldn't spot any burglars or deisel thieves! Its a mystery
Can you imagine how mind numbing, covert surveillance could be?
Hour after hour of nothing happening - wondering if the "target" has slipped out unseen.
Still I suppose it must be better than "sitting on the wire" listening for phone calls that may never happen or that you don't understand when they do.
Life in the "intelligence" services is not all 007 .
The watcher series of shots can be seen in my album "The watcher".
I spent about 15 minutes trying to get a shot of this work on Hanbury Street but this guy just wouldn't get out of the way. He was even obstructing traffic. In the end I gave up and kept him in shot. If you recognise him, tell him to show a little consideration for other photographers next time!

"Ay Chihuahua, is that ever sharp!!" An American Tree Sparrow finding out it might want to choose a different spot to perch.
We arrived in Watch Hill just as people were starting to wander about. The overnight fog was just beginning to burn off. This image, while captured in color, looked almost B&W. Because of the large buildings and houses in the background, I put on a sepia touch to make this image like what the town made me feel...like a town gone by in the 30's. All the women were wearing the same pastel colors, the teenagers had kakhi shots and polo shirts. AND...this was the Watch Hill Yacht Club basin where little kids were learning to handle a sailboat.
The Atlantic Puffin (Fratercula arctica), also known as the common puffin, is a species of seabird in the auk family. It is the only puffin native to the Atlantic Ocean; two related species, the tufted puffin and the horned puffin, are found in the northeastern Pacific.
The Atlantic puffin breeds in Iceland, Norway, Greenland, Newfoundland and many North Atlantic islands, and as far south as Maine in the west and the British Isles in the east.
The Atlantic puffin has a large population and a wide range. It is not considered to be endangered although there may be local declines in numbers. On land, it has the typical upright stance of an auk. At sea, they swim on the surface and feed mainly on small fish, which they catch by diving underwater, using their wings for propulsion.
The Atlantic puffin has a black crown and back, pale grey cheek patches and white underparts. Its broad, boldly marked red and black beak and orange legs contrast with its plumage. It moults while at sea in the winter and some of the bright-coloured facial characteristics are lost. The external appearance of the adult male and female are identical except that the male is usually slightly larger.
The juvenile has similar plumage but its cheek patches are dark grey. The juvenile does not have brightly coloured head ornamentation, its bill is less broad and is dark-grey with a yellowish-brown tip, and its legs and feet are also dark. Puffins from northern populations are typically larger than their counterparts in southern parts of the range. It is generally considered that these populations are different subspecies.
The Atlantic puffin spends the autumn and winter in the open ocean of the cold northern seas and returns to coastal areas at the start of the breeding season in late spring. It nests in clifftop colonies, digging a burrow in which a single white egg is laid. The chick mostly feeds on whole fish and grows rapidly. After about six weeks it is fully fledged and makes its way at night to the sea. It swims away from the shore and does not return to land for several years.
Colonies are mostly on islands where there are no terrestrial predators but adult birds and newly fledged chicks are at risk of attacks from the air by gulls and skuas. Sometimes a bird such as an Arctic skua will harass a puffin arriving with a beakful of fish, causing it to drop its catch. The striking appearance, large colourful bill, waddling gait and behaviour of this bird have given rise to nicknames such as "clown of the sea" and "sea parrot". It is the official bird symbol for the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

The old city wall of Tallinn, dating back to Medieval times, ran right by our hotel, and stepping out this was the sight we first saw.
This is an ornithologist friend of mine, we used to meet up at sunrise he to watch birds and me to take photos of the sunrise!
