Wings on Wednesday -

YAM's take on the good, the bad, the ugly and the downright hilarious in respect to photographing birds.

When pelicans land watch their tail; there will always be a little wave from left to right as if to signal, "I'm alright!"

Taken with the 'Nik' on sports mode and lens a little extended...about 2x optical.

Linky time; if you have posts of birds (though butterflies and dragonflies are acceptable too) then please do leave your link!

The Tuesday Tease

"Mum....mum......mum........"
"What?"
"We're under surveillance.............."


Jade actually loved her 'Uncle' Mac3 but still wasn't willing to go with him and leave me! Taken with the Uniden digicam.

Monday's Critters

Think I posted this before, but on the MENO blog instead of this one... It's one of my personal faves and worth the revisit! Taken with the Minolta digicam - the early attempts at digital imagery.

MOONdays

Goodness it's the last Sunday of the month already - don't blink or it'll be Christmas again!!

This sunset crescent is a tad grainy as the lens was extended into the digital magnification. Still happy with it!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY EVERYBODY.

I resisted the urge to straighten the bench... Rothesay Promenade.

"Weeds are flowers too, once you get to know them."
(A.A. Milne)

The tame and pretty "dead nettle" commonly found in British fields and lanes. Caught in the winter sun by the 'Nik' on macro mode.

At the Thursday Challenge we are always given something to enjoy playing with.  The word prompt this week is COMMUNICATION.  In addition, it is 'Last Thursday' at MY TAKE, where YAM let's loose with the photographic manipulation.

At the Jagadishwara Mandir, Sandeepany Sadhanalaya, Powai Mumbai.  The Chinmaya Mission seeks to communicate the wonder of Advaitic philosophy.  In addition, it runs various establishments, including this temple.  This sign for Mahashivratri offers various forms of service which can be performed in a devotee's name and an amount of paisa (money) to  be given in consideration.  The poster to right echoes the larger banners down the lane...

Publications are in many of the Indian languages as well as English.

A key component of any worthwhile philosophy is that of spreading Love, with the capital 'ell'.  A wordless way of doing this is through flowers, and no better flower for this can there be than the rose...

Fiddled around with colour and contrast on this one.








All photos taken with the 'Nik' on auto - and macro for the rose.

YAM's take on the good, the bad, the ugly and the downright hilarious in respect to photographing birds.

Reminding myself of hotter, headier days...  A Black Kite in the early morning sun of Mumbai.
