When mom was off hunting I was able to capture her chicks boy were they cute. I've never been this close to a Golden Eagle nest in my life. Truly the most thrilling moment.
Either this daffodil was a little hard of hearing or perhaps I was speaking too softly?! Taken in our garden at Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex....
A flock of bird land near the tracks as this train was approching. I thought this could be interesting.

On a mossy log in the hush of the forest, a small republic of mushrooms gathers like soft lanterns, ivory rising from the brown breath of leaves. They speak the slow language of patience, translating wood into soil, silence into nourishment. Each cap is a listening ear, tuned to the quiet rain, to the faint pulse of roots threading old stories through the earth.
Here decay is not an ending but a generous exchange, an agreement that nothing is lost, only rearranged.
The moss cradles them the way memory holds a name, cool and green, forgiving. Light strays between the trees and settles on their edges, a thin gold that makes time feel round and weightless.
The forest writes itself again, letter by letter, beneath these quiet crowns.

(I had a dream last night
I dreamt you were by my side
Walking with me baby
My heart was filled with pride
I had a dream last night)

Just an experiment in motion and lighting, constructive criticisms are welcome :)
At Mystic Seaport, the Sabino, a famous tourist attraction,
is having some repairs.
As quoted from
"The Sabino‘s old boiler was installed around 1940 and was manufactured by the Almy Water-Tube Boiler Company of Providence, RI. It was the vessel’s third one since she was first launched in 1908 and powered the steamboat for nearly three-quarters of her life on the water, including during passenger service in Maine, a private attraction in Massachusetts, and finally more than forty years on the Mystic River. It has now been placed on display in the lobby of the Thompson Exhibition Building."

the storm on the left of the photograph was about to collide with the shore and the storm on the other side of the mountain.
When I first arrived at Roan Mountain I had hopes of hiking to Jane Bald for sunset...I wasn't familiar with that site and I quickly realized that I didn't have enought time to make it. An alternative site needed to be found......I was just glad that I made this initial trip...just being out on the mountain for sunset was a great feeling. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.
When I first spotted this Northern Cardinal, I thought she had some giant bug in her beak. I watched as she seemed to almost be dancing in a circle, holding this leaf like she was showing it off for the world to see.
As soon as she flew off, carrying the leaf in her beak, a nearby male Cardinal followed her. At first I thought a brittle, sharp pointed leaf was a really strange thing to pick for nesting material. But perhaps "the dance" was part of some mating ritual and had nothing to do with the holly leaf.

This was my recent visit to the only sunflower field that I know in Finland. All the summer in Helsinki was cloudless burning sun (that I don't enjoy too much), but the day and moment when I arrived next to the sunflower field and wanted to take a photo in nice sunlight, heavy and threatening rain clouds gathered all over the horizon. I did not know if I will have chance to walk/run dry back to the bus stop that was a good walk away.
But the contrast of the yellow flowers and dramatic clouds was so beautiful that I truly enjoyed every moment around this field. I was ready to get soaking wet, because it would not be too high price for this experience, for being in the middle of this beauty, for spending time in "alive" nature art gallery. The rain did not reach me, though, before I left. But it was a happy moment when you don't care about any rain, and I hope to share this happy feeling through this photo with my friends here, too.
When you get down and dirty, get caked in mud, and bide your time silently ...this low-angle POV of a tiny bird is you reward.
The Tibetian Sand Plover is called so, because it breeds on the Tibet plateau and also among the mountains in Asia. The reason we see these in South Asia is because they winter here and also in parts of Africa and South East Asia.

When Fujifilm’s Acros II was announced, I had mixed feelings. It reminded me of when I went to see the Cure on their farewell tour in the early 1990s. I cried throughout the show at the Wembley Arena, believing that I’d never again see the band that had just released what I thought to be the greatest record of all time, Disintegration.
When they returned a few years later, I never quite forgave them, and still think that they never made any music that was close to comparing to the magnificent gloominess of Disintegration. That may have been because I’d moved on, but it could well have been because of the emotions that they put me through by going away, and returning before my cheeks were dry.
You see, I’d had quite an attachment to Fujifilm’s Neopan Acros before it was discontinued. I’d taken many of my favourite pictures using it, often at night, taking advantage of the film’s unmatched abilities to handle long exposures.
While I was pretty disappointed when it was announced that it was to be discontinued (note: we shoot film in the 21st century and therefore cannot have any expectations that companies will continue to make what is barely even a niche product), I set about auditioning a new favourite and settled quickly on Ilford’s FP4+. I’d moved on.
Acros II was initially released in Japan, and a friend of a friend arranged to import a few rolls privately. We came to an arrangement that meant I would end up with two rolls of the film in 120 format. By way of an experiment, I headed out into last night’s fog and shot a few of what both Graeme on Sunny 16, and Mike on the Negative Positives refer to as my ‘signature image’, that is a lone LED street light in the dark.
I shot the roll at EI160 and mostly around f/5.6-f/8 and am delighted to report that the new formulation (which is made in the UK) does everything that the old version did. The detail is superb, with endless tones in the grey areas, lovely dark blacks and not a hint of grain.
It is exactly how I like my film to look…
On this occasion, I didn’t expose anything for more than about six seconds, so reciprocity wasn’t an issue. On the next roll, I’ll push things further and see how if performs when exposures get up towards a couple of minutes. If as I expect, it’s like the old stuff, it’ll be just fine.

When the Israrli Army upgraded this M-48 to include a 105mm main gun it was classified as an M-48A4.. The US Army upgraded all their M-48's they added more upgrades & classified it as M-48A5..
A beautiful dawn in South Tyrol. The photo was taken from the cabin we rented for a long weekend. Such a beautiful piece of earth.

Pan Am's B&M heritage unit would get to look ratty and oil-stained as time went on. But in 2012, she was still shiny and clean while on display on home rails for an event in White River Junction.
When a wildcat gave birth to three sisters in my parents barn i knew it was only a matter of time until they would be a part of our family. It's been seven years now and Majsan Zorro and Pussel seems to enjoy the stay so far ;)
When I was planning my trip to Scotland this was one of the photos I wanted to shoot ... I reached there in the hot sunny afternoon. Used ND filters but still the sky wasn't that blue as I wanted :)
When she flew to the little fountain, she couldn't fly anymore. The male dove landed next to her wondering how she felt. He looked up into the sky. The snow was getting heavier. Then he turned to her, seeing her panting. He knew she couldn't continue the journey this time. He moved closer and asked her to lean against him and took a rest...
The snow hadn't stopped at all.
The next day, a little black bird saw the fountain and the couple. When he was about to say hello, he found that the couple were dead already. ...
