Sunrise this morning 3/17/26. Not green for St. Patrick's Day but I thought it was special.

Probably the last time he graces our pool this end of summer. Autumn is upon us, and his lips were turning blue towards the end. ;-)

Hi Jack,

A scintillating crimson sky-scape - mean, moody and utterly magnificent!

Great stuff! Thank you for sharing...

Hi Gareth,

Fantastic! I adopt a similar approach to water entry (Karen is significantly more graceful).

Thank you for sharing...

How to photograph a kookaburra…

"Stay… and don't touch!" I ordered as I left my garden lounger and went inside to fix yet another cuppa.

They stayed and guarded the gear, but also set up the next shot for me. Cute!

Thanks for joining us for afternoon tea.

Hi Michael,

Three different, but equally fascinating, TIF (Things In Flight) with plenty of interest in each for the viewer to admire and explore.

Well done - and thank you for sharing...

Hi Andy,

Two very different shots - both are fascinating and well controlled given the competing lighting demands and 'run and gun' nature of travel photography.

This thread continues to attract enthralling sights from all around the world, which are very welcome and rewarding. Thank you for sharing these...

Hi Ken,

That's quite a sight (photographically fascinating and - we're guessing - something of a thrill for the driver of the wagon). We trust it all ended well.

Thank you for sharing...

Hi Art,

Well seen and caught - and what a little cutie... (well, unless you're in its food chain!).

Thank you for sharing...

Hi Mike,

Fantastic!

An alternative, but very eye-catching and pleasing, take of a beautiful creature - well seen and captured.

Thank you for sharing...

A hectic weekend involving four historic properties - two bite-sized, one light lunch and one full-on meal (to use a food analogy) - plus a visit to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park, which together yielded 7,000+ raw files (good luck Phil). With fate on our side you may even see some of these this year...

Not so fortunate are images from The Alnwick Garden, Northumberland, England, which fell victim to chaos unlimited (real life stuff), but nevertheless - at long last - here you go...

(Shot raw and processed with: DxO PL Elite and Adobe LrC/ PS with Tony Kuyper Panels. Compilations feature images by Karen - R7 and Phil - R5 II).

1. The Alnwick Garden - a brief mid-journey stop-off on our autumn Frank-Fest - was created by The Duchess of Northumberland in 2001. Happily, the weather forecasts all agreed ‘it will be a fine day - with no chance of rain’, so guess what happened when we were as far away from any cover as you could get…

2. The Garden combines sculpture, delightful water features and beautiful plants (plus a nice restaurant!).
