I was probably more surprised than this Pileated Woodpecker when it was suddenly right in front of me as I walked through a wooded area. It did stay there while I took a couple of close range photos and kept walking. A high ISO shot from the darkness of the tree canopy.
Thank you for viewing
When you go out past Kilchoan, towards Sanna on the most westerly edge of Ardnamurchan you enter a very remote, dark and barren land of mountain, moor and bog. The volcanic rock is largely black, but everywhere the dark rock split with patches of white where white quartz has bled through the molten rocks. Seeing this prompted me to look for mountain hares in their winter garb. After all the landscape would appear to be ideal habitat for them, although a large eagle population might cull their numbers. Yet, I haven't seen one so far (this is an old picture from Manchester days). There are some over towards the east in the Cairngorms ( I last saw one near Glendoebeg) but none I am aware of in Ardnamurchan. I wonder if they could be re-introduced in Ardnamurchan?
I took this picture at Gardasee Italy by sunset with my phone and covered it with a texture of Lenabem-Anna J.

When my Crabapple tree starts showing its new red leaves in spring, I can't help but be thankful for nature's renewal.
"Spring
The hopeless hope is one ..
of the early harbingers of spring,
bespeaking an innocent belief that the world might right its wrongs and reverse its curses
simply because the trees are coming into leaf."
~ Aleksandar Hemon
When we see a small fishing boat safe in the harbour, it looks big enough. When we view it from the coast near the huge cliffs of Moher, then view the massive Atlantic ocean, it looks so small and vulnerable. Thank you dear fishermen

Thank you for all the views, faves, and comments.
When getting in Hoher Kasten I saw from the lift this beautiful hill. What there within this little house?
When you see this cute smile
Let it be stuck to you all day
It's a gift
From Elvis to us
Keep the good vibes in your heart
And smile to yourself and to others
It's contagious you know
Have a fabulous day!
When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.

When we grew up, images were telling stories and showing them. Now they’re all into selling. They’ve changed under our very eyes. They don’t even know how to do it anymore. They’ve plain forgotten. Images are selling out the world. And at a big discount :-)

when you realize something truly remarkable is happening and disappearing right in front of you, if you can pass a camera before your eye, you’ll tear a piece of time out of the whole, and in a breath, rescue it and give it new meaning.

When you have just spent a week relaxing in a place like this, it is hard to spend time behind the computer to catch up on everyone’s images on Flickr. Our weather is still great at home so I stay outdoors as much as I can. We had a wonderful time camping and taking pictures in this northern Ontario park. The evening light warmed the heart on the cooler days. The air was that perfect fall freshness and crispness without feeling like winter is on the way.
when we care more for that than for the privilege of arguing about ideas in a fog of uncertainty :-)

When printing was as much an art form as a technology.
Or, the day the people at the Print Shop at History San José set me and my camera loose in their type storage cabinets.
Having had some experience with off-set printing in the past, it was interesting to see how they used to do it.
When I was taking pictures of the chest with shadow, I found this shadow of maple leaves and thought interesting.

I sing these words
Time and time again
To express my life
Of being your lover and your friend
And as the clouds high above shed their tears
I'll embrace you
With love from all your fears
Am I the one?
Am I the one that you love?
Am I the one?
Am I the one that you think of?
Am I, am I the one?
A passion in your caress
Flows from your fingertips
I pray for the day
I hear those precious words
Pass through your lips
Wishing upon a star from up above
That soon you'll look at me and say
I'm the one that you love
Am I the one?
Am I the one that you love?
Am I the one?
Am I the one that you think of?
Am I, am I the one?
Don't make me feel crazy
If I break down and cry
Just tell me you love me baby
Even if it is a lie
Am I, am I, am I, am I the one?
Am I the one?
I know there's a painful chance I must take
So sadly I ask you afraid it's a mistake
Am I the one?
When the ice recedes just a few meters from the shoreline of the lake here at my favorite local park lake, the male Common Goldeneyes come in from the nearby Saskatchewan River to claim their bit of open water to attract the females and fight off rivals.
This male was swimming close to a female, and went to this typical courtship pose when another male flew in nearby. The brown mass under his foot are the rump and tail feathers he twisted around while doing this.
I hope to get shots of the often spectacular battles between the males before things get sorted out.

When dawn breaks in my part of the Welsh countryside the lanes are free of traffic, the sun begins to rise lighting up the sky and bird song fills the air. The cries of a Red Kite hovering above a field hoping a mouse will make a mad dash for the safety of a hedgerow. The rustling of grass blowing gently in the breeze, the crispness of the Autumn air, oh what a time to be alive and take in the wonders that surround us!
