When she was a baby in 2014.

At that time I didn't have my DSLR.

This was taken by Canon Powershot (compact camera)

I started in 2015 with my very little and only DSLR.

I'm pretty much amateur.

Thanks for your kind supports 🐥

Canada geese with goslings on a pond at the University of Colorado's east campus. Several large snapping turtles living in this and neighboring ponds were keeping the number of surviving goslings to a minimum,

And there were other predators about that might take goslings too, including watersnakes, mink, weasels, bobcats, raccoons, foxes, coyotes, owls, hawks, bears, and even mountain lions, but still the geese are thriving. So much so that Denver has occasional goose round-ups...

I don't know what this behavior is about. The geese do it from time to time, but not always. I suspect they are trying to be less conspicuous by lowering their profile, but who knows?

So far, no word from the geese to clear this all up.

”when traveling abroad in the continental style

it’s my belief, one must attempt to be discreet

and subsequently bear in mind your transient position

that which allows you a perspective that’s unique ...” T. Waits

When leaving the river this morning I happened upon a pair of coopers hawks building a nest. One would stand guard while the other collected a branch or two. Now I just need to remember which tree this nest is in for the next time I visit!

When all the trees have been cut down,

when all the animals have been hunted,

when all the waters are polluted,

when all the air is unsafe to breathe,

only then will you discover you cannot eat money.

~Cree Prophecy

Funny how a made up thing with a made up value can have so much power in this world.

The winter came with its biting teeth, consuming all leaf and flower. Nothing which grew or breathed with life, from the snow and ice withstood.

When we came down to breakfast this morning, our lounge was nice and warm, as the remnants of yesterday's fire were still glowing red in the wood-burner. I got some more wood from our log store (which started life as an outside toilet) and also a bucket of smokeless fuel, and within a few minutes the fire was blazing away and our Yorkie had taken up position in front of it. Our old farm cottage in rural Northamptonshire dates from 1668, and has thick stone walls and relatively small windows. It's the ideal place for the cold winter months. In March, we'll be returning to our holiday home up near the Cumbria border. Hopefully, by then the snow will have disappeared.

When I (along with 2 friends) visited the railway tunnels just northwest of the little stop Levishte, there wasn't a single railway picture to be found online made from this spot. Since the photo's from that visit came online, quite a few photo's have been made at this spot. It seems the younger generation isn't really looking for original shots, but rather seem to focus on quick easy shots. But since the location was really nice and I like the landscape for more than just the trains passing here, I also visited the Iskar Gorge every year since. In 2024 I visited the spot because of some regular diverted freight traffic in the area. Because of this I was able to make a few new shots. Which also included this one of the normal passenger train to Mezdra, which was still run my an old Skoda loco at that time.

.. and more White!

When I do a tag search of my Photostream for the word "white", a lot of pictures come up. Would you believe 267?!!

Granted, white is not the predominant color in all of them, but still... that's a lotta white! ;-)

PS~

I'm cheating! These are all photos that you have commented on in the past. No comments are necessary this time around - I can't seem to find anything that really inspires me lately, so I just keep digging around in the archives.

When I was over on the West coast recently, I spent a bit of time one day, watching shoals of Porpoises weaving in and out of the water, just offshore. I tried (and failed) to get a decent shot of them, but I thought this one was quite nice even without them, and it's a reminder of a happy day ...

There once was a girl

And that girl met a boy

They found living as two

Was a life full of joy

These two happy lovebirds,

this couple, this pair

Were snug in their nest

But they thought it quite bare

So they cuddled up closer

Made room in their tree

And their joy overflowed

When two became three.

7 Days with Flickr - Wednesday: macro or close up

When I Was A Tourist In Thailand, I Took A Bus Trip And Was Seated Next To The Most Gorgeous Girl I'd Ever Laid Eyes On. Perfect Boobs Almost Spilling Out Of Her Top, Perfect Legs, With A Gorgeous Face. The Bus Had Small Seats And She Was Pushed Right Up Next To Me. I Kept Thinking To Myself, "Don't Get An Erection, Don't Get An Erection"...But She Did.

Remember when there were four of us. We could take over the world. We were the in the heavens and the roads were our battleground. We were the elite. The top rated. Time has done it's job and the men who once owned the streets are now just an illusion.

When I did a photo-a-day project in 2012, I took a lot of photos of fences on Fridays for the "Fence Friday" Flickr group. It was always nice to have a fallback idea at the end of the week if I had nothing else in mind. Today I was struggling with an idea and knew I wasn't going to want to set something up tonight, so I went I saw this nice fence scene I thought, "Perfect! My first Fence Friday shot of 2016."

Remember when we were young,

We always had such fun!

Those were happy days,

When we had carefree ways.

We didnt know it then,

But looking back again,

I think of you with love,

My one and only bruv!

Even though you drove me mad!

You were a typical lad.

Laughing and teasing me,

Sometimes a fight thered be!

But SUDDENLY life changed,

It was never the same again,

We grew up very fast,

Toys and games were things of the past.

But i looked up to see,

A brother who cared for me,

More than i could ever know,

And still hes my SPECIAL BRO!

And he always will be,

For ALL eternity.

You know when you're in for it when after a six hour drive arriving at Glen Brittle in Skye for a weekend on the ridge, your young nephew dons his fell shoes for an evening run two hours before before evening dusk and promptly runs up and down Sgurr Alistair (highest one you can see) via the great stone shute (the scree shute than comes out of the bottom left down from the highest one you can see) getting back two and a quarter hours later ..not out of breath and able to hold a pleasant conversation ..on something I'd spend the day over!! ,,,, I'm really too old to fall for it .. but I did!

When it comes to other people's artwork I like to have my own input. The statue is bright Red but the mono coversion is mine and the sky is all part of the image timing.

when you hear my name

The skies looked pretty innocent when I headed out to the local road end. When I got there the wind was howling and the skies were spitting rain. I had to touch up the photo a bit to remove some rain drops. The best photos seem to come when you least expect it.

When this beautiful Western Tanager flew into this pine so close to me, I shot first, and by the time I could change my settings to the correct exposure off it went...yes I know a bit soft but I still liked how it looked and the 'lovely setting' and to finally see this colorful bird so close I wanted to share it.
