As the sun warmed the sandy beach, a tern stood lazily in the sand, with its dark eyes slowly scanning the shoreline.

When looking at a praying mantis a word that often comes to mind is evil. This is an insect without mercy that eats its victims alive one small bite at a time.

The crows had a front row seat to admire the last full moon of 2023, even the early evening mist couldn't dull the beauty of the full moon.

With a new year comes a new challenge, this being to present something NEW to you.

While I was onboard the Overseas Washington heading towards Valdez Alaska, it was just the beginning of a storm, you would rock and you would roll, you got use to it.

The hills are alive with the sound of music With songs they have sung for a thousand years The hills fill my heart with the sound of music My heart wants to sing every song it hears ...

We had a cold rainy day this weekend which brought out some good fog. So I went out shooting barns and farmland, and I think the lonely tree in particular drew me to this composition.

This one is still an old favourite of mine. I used to think that similar backlit leaves, but graced with the shadow of lizard or gecko were preferable, and certainly admirable.

I have become more and more of a monomaniac, after for years saying I was largely motivated to make photographs BY colour.

One area where a bit of creativity can come in is to create black-&-white images from colour ones using the RGB channels selectively.

I note that Alan's challenge suggests one colour, not necessarily black & white.

Whenever I am visiting Astoria Oregon I cannot avoid stopping to photograph the bridge.

Not sure if this is a perfect fit for the group, but this is a focus stack of a Kousa Dogwood berry, they're a little bigger than a sugar cube.
