Week 9. I've been ill and so haven't been out at all, also why I've not been active here, but managed an afternoon out today. This stunningly marked Marsh Harrier was a highlight.
Awesome shot Kev. How are you feeling now?
 
Just back from holiday. This is only the second time that Joshy has visited a beach and the first time he was barely walking. This was taken at Trevone Bay in North Cornwall.

Starting this new week off with a photo of my favorite bird, the GBH who is in residence around our small lake:

Week 12. Marsh Harriers are very busy mating and nest building at the moment, and so we see a lot of males at fairly close range. Absolutely fabulous raptors.

That is very nice indeed! Captured superbly as well :)

Cheers Timmy. There was a cut out in the wall just above the car with three a/c units, and there was an a/c unit at the back right corner on the ground. I was making this scene look sexy whether it liked it or not. I wanted to take the shot in line with the car roof but it would have exposed the a/c unit so I had to be lower. A bit of a vertical crop for the top units too and it worked out well. 💥

Had a rare few moments to actually take some pics while visiting my daughter in Denver. Trying to decide which of these I like the best.

I like the middle one the most mate. There's just enough room for each piece of information to have it's own space without being cluttered or overly spacious, and the addition of the person enjoying the moment just adds another element to it. 🌞
 
Thanks Clint! I think I agree. The person on the bench provides a focus point that leads to the sunset. I do wish I had tried a longer exposure than the first shot, to smooth out the water a little more. But, I like each of them for different reasons.
Thanks for the feed back!

Not a problem brother. Thank you for sharing them. 🙂
 
Each year we look for goslings on our little lake; unfortunately all too often predators get them pretty quickly. This year I was able to get a few shots of these cute goslings with their parents .... The next day I saw the parents again, but no goslings. Nature had its way..
