The feeder was close to a window, so I could shoot the birds from inside the house and they didn't seem to notice.

Because of the dark patch on the top of the head, I think this is a buck who is devoid of antlers at this time.

Roadrunner trying to keep warm on a cold January morning.

The windows of the shops on the ‘Kö’ here in Düsseldorf are amazing ...even without the often very good looking people who dress them!

After I took the shot this young woman just went on with her job ...she glanced up at me for this one lucky moment!

With the coronavirus resurgence I've been shooting a lot around the house. It's a little challenging finding new and interesting shots amongst the stuff I see on a daily basis, but every once in a while I see something that strikes my fancy. Here, our prayer plant in the kitchen window inspired me to go get the camera, however the shot ended up being a little bigger than just the plant. Somehow I also got the backyard involved. I call it subject matter creep.

Happy Slider's Sunday everyone.

We put that little stairway in to make it easier for the coyotes to get from the lower level to the driveway...at least that's what this coyote thinks.

...in Montreux!

This photograph was captured from one of the units in Eureka Tower, Melbourne, Australia. It offers a balanced and understated view of the city’s skyline, where modern structures and gentle urban contours coexist. The image frames a slice of everyday high‑rise living, letting you see Melbourne’s architectural landscape through large windows without embellishment. Subdued natural light softens the scene, keeping the focus on the spatial interplay between the interior of the unit and the city beyond. The atmosphere is calm, capturing a realistic moment of urban life that is both reflective and quietly engaging.

The little desert cottontail has learned how to survive in the desert, despite coyotes, bobcats and hawks.

THANKS A MILLION NHS HEROES

It's always a treat to see a fawn, especially one that still has its spots. Unfortunately, we haven't seen many this year. That makes this photo all the more special for us.

Late afternoon in late November in the Bosque del Apache

National Wildlife Refuge. I love the muted fall colors. If you enlarge the photo, you will better see the sandhill cranes foraging in a field (left middle). Shot through the car window as we drove the loop road. The big trees are cottonwoods whose leaves apparently froze already. The reddish plants are willows. Many thanks for all the comments, faves and views.

As we drove around the loop, we kept seeing great numbers of cranes foraging in the fields, hundreds and hundreds of them. I don't know what edibles they were finding, but they must be finding enough to keep them healthy. They looked like they were in tiptop shape. It's quite a thrill to get so close to so many wild creatures.

Late in the afternoon a bobcat decided to sit for a while and ponder.

On a hot June day, a ground squirrel chose the shade of the porch to munch on a cactus fruit.

After many, many hours travelling back from NYC I caught this on the decent into Stockholm. Glad to be back.

Young mule dear early in the morning.

I took this shot with my trusty iPhone! I made some big mistakes with ISO in my previous uploads so this is playing safe with settings! This capture was taken through a seminar window at the evening college in Düsseldorf.

Sometimes, in the Sonoran desert, there's no through. You just have to go around.

The little ground squirrels are beginning to emerge from hibernation.

This is Maya, a young female Husky, who seems to think that snow is her proper element. With her double coat she can laugh at cold and snow and just have fun with it.

These are salt evaporation ponds on the south shore of San Francisco Bay, filled with slowly evaporating salt water impounded within levees in former tidelands. There are many of these ponds surrounding the Bay, mostly south of the San Mateo Bridge, and best viewed from altitutde.

These ponds are filled with sea water at different times, and display different colors as the water slowly evaporate,s leaving at the end a field of white sea salt. That's when it's ready for harvesting.

Along the way, microscopic life forms of different kinds and colors predominate in series as the water evaporates. First comes green algae. Next brine shrimp predominate, turning the pond orange. Next, dunaliella salina, a micro-algae containing high amounts of beta-carotene (itself with high commercial value), predominates, turning the water red. Other organisms can also change the hue of each pond. The full range of colors include red, green, orange and yellow, brown, blue, and finally white.

In the desert, bobcats can appear out of nowhere. It is wise to keep a camera handy by a window, because you never know when one of these beautiful cats will pop out for a couple minutes and then disappear like magic. I appreciate all the comments, faves and views that this shot has received.
