Beautiful!! Looks like a painting.

Look upon my features, puny human, and prepare yourself for the afterlife.

Mum, being splendid.

The Paradise ducks in the Botanic Gardens are relatively tame - or at least prepared to tolerate humans - but out in the wild they are very wary, and very loud. This makes them unpopular with hunters, because they will set up a loud hooting at the slightest sign of a human, putting everything in the area on to high alert.

Meanwhile, in the Ilex Café...

Will someone show me how to use this thing?

Chaffinch - Pahirini, Fringilla coelebs

Wonderful detail with all the birds. And my wife asked me if the robins looked familiar...

Sunwapta Falls in Alberta CanadaView attachment 31903

Wonderful photo of Sunwapta Falls. And we always loved Mistaya Canyon too, but since we have not been back since film days, it was difficult to capture canyons with film dynamic range

We took a couple of day trips to Cape Cod after the summer crush ended. I primarily shot landscapes with my IR-modified 7D that I can't post here, but got some nice RF photos too.
I got several photos of this double-crested cormorant swimming near Woods Hole.

• Canon EOS R7
• RF800mm F11 IS STM
• 800.0 mm
• ƒ/11

I got some nice warmly lit photos of ring-billed gulls at Old Silver Beach in North Falmouth, a place that my family spent a lot of time at when we were kids.

• Canon EOS R7
• RF100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM
• 248.0 mm

I was very lucky to be able to photograph this great blue heron who caught a large frog. The bird spent a lot of time trying to maneuver the frog into position to eat it.

• Canon EOS R5
• RF800mm F11 IS STM
• 800.0 mm
• ƒ/11
• 1/1000 sec
• ISO 800

The next weekend I photographed Nobska Lighthouse and beach in Falmouth and was lucky enough to get the moon rising over the lighthouse. I took this sunset light photo later after the moon rose more but the IR camera visualized the moon rising directly behind the lighthouse (with a much more bright sky) much better than visible photography.

I finally went out to photograph the Atlas Comet and got the Milky Way in the same frame as a bonus. Big Meadows on Skyline Drive in Virginia.

Hi Art,

A simply sublime capture of a magnificent series of cascades - there's a wealth of interest here for the viewer to explore.

Great work - thank you for sharing it here...

Hi Gareth,

Giant Attack Pigeons? - Well, you certainly get some strange creatures in your part of the world...

(Joking aside, we certainly wouldn't want to argue with this particular one!).


Great to see you survived the encounter - and thank you for sharing...

Hi Don,

A superb set of images showcasing nature's beauty (and your talents!) - a treasure of interest gathered here, with absolutely glorious colours throughout.

It's impossible to single out a favourite (but if really pushed, we'd have the final two tied).

Well done indeed - and thank you for sharing...

Hi Art,

An astonishing and utterly spellbinding capture, and - as if the Atlas Comet and Milky Way together weren't enough - those trees are absolutely sublime.

Fantastic! Well done indeed - and thank you for sharing...

Great pictures!!
I'll be posting a few from Steamtown in Scranton, PA in the next few days.

Yesterday I was prevailed upon by She Who Must Be Obeyed to photograph - on a semi-official basis - a charity golf day in aid of a trust she chairs. She kept telling me not to photograph the birds, but the course was laid out around big lakes, and there were lots of them.

We were also blessed by a lack of wind, despite the presence of a Nor'West arch, the wave cloud that usually signals hot windy weather. Nice skies though...
