simply beautiful! I always enjoy looking at your photos. You have great talent. :)

Aww Thanks. Such a nice thing to say. :)

You take some great shots yourself. I haven't had much time to get out to take photos in a while. When I do have time the gas prices have been holding me back. >:(

Wow! Way cool. Carlos & I have tried to get photos of hummers but can never get them right. This is one we got down in Puerto Rico (not too sure which one of us took this one)-but not as good as yours.

cool and yeah I've taken hundreds of pictures trying to capture things like moths and butterflies. Here's a Cabbage White.

Same here. Its not unusual to see me snooping around bushes and plants looking for interesting critters.

Here is a little bug that was so tiny that I could only see a dark speck but the camera was able to capture it beautifully. Gotta love cameras!

http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk116/s_nanette/IMG_3182.jpg

Here are a couple of my favorite butterfly pictures. The first one was easy because it was obviously a newly hatched butterfly and remained on that plant for a good 30 minutes before flying away. I took full advantage of it. So did my daughter, she was out there snapping away with her camera also.

http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk116/s_nanette/IMG_0293.jpg

This tiny yellow butterfly was pure luck. I was only able to snap two shots before it flew away. The first was blurry but this one turned out sharp.

It does take good macro shots. Just have to stay steady and avoid the wind. ;)

I may have exaggerated with the speck thing. I was about 2 or 3 cm.

Great shot of a Dragonfly. They are not an easy subject. I have only managed to capture one dragonfly on camera and it was its underside. Not the prettiest.

Here's a little black bird that I donned, "The Popcorn Bandit" ;D I threw some popcorn out in the yard and the birds were loving it.

Nice photo. You can see the mischief in its eye. :)

Oh, neato. You hit it with a broom. :( What if it wasn't harmful?

What if it wanted to GET IN MY HOUSE!?!?!? :o

To be clear I didn't kill it... at least I don't think I did...

1) I gentlely took the broom end of the broom and slowly "sweeped" it in the air to get as much of the cobweb and that big ass spider on it.

2) notice the height of the fence? its not that high- maybe 3 or four feet... so I extended the broom so the spidery end was as far from me as possible.

3. I swung the broom like you would if you were playing lacrosse (jai aliai)...

4. The house sits on a hill above the street
http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa235/snozberries44/Santa%20Barbara/DSCF0100.jpg

so I flung the spider over the fence and he landed in the street or near the bottom of the hill.... I think he probably survived the fall I don't really care.... as long he was away from my front door! ;D

The stores sell Snap Dragons as annuals here, but they survive as perennials in my garden and in the front yard. I've planned the middle of my garden with a butterfly bush,passion vine lupine and poppies, The area to the left of there doesn't get enough sun for a full shade plant in winter according to the guidelines (6-10 hours). I was going to try and plant some torch lily seeds. They are full sun plants but their zone for winter is 5-9 summer 9-1( I'm 9). The right of my garden is the fry cooking section and not quite sure what to do with it.

All this yapping in a photo thread and no picture. I'll Probably take one as soon as I get the butterfly bush and passion vine in.

^ I'm not sure why , but the genus name is Lupinus. Might just be an American spelling thing. My dad wanted to know if the seeds were okay to eat. I got one site that said some are and another that said they are. I found out that the leaves on the variety of amaranth I have can be boiled and eaten, but they're to colorful.

Wow! So many great pics!!!

Q, I love your Santa Barbara pics! LOVE the tree, and whatever the first pic is-some type of cactus? ???

Cat, I like your tree too! The pic I'd really like to see is the reaction of whoever was taking the bird pic-duck and cover!! ;D

Frank, your pic is great! Taken from a bridge? While driving? I do the same thing! I guess I may have been over this bridge before myself when I was much younger, because I have been to both Vancouver and Whistler! I tried to talk my Dad into letting me try Heli-skiing with my cousins that went with us, but I needed to learn to ski first. ::)

It was the most gorgeous shades of mauve and purple and orange all running together, and I was trying to snap while driving, then trees got in the way, then those other people in the car started complaining, so I had to put the camera down and just drive....some people.... ::)

Thanks. Yeah, you have to learn to keep your hands steady. You may not realize it but sometimes when you push the button to take the pic, you are actually pushing the camera down-thus making the pic blurry. Can't tell you how many times I have done this. Why not practice and see how it goes. (With digital cameras it is easy to practice.)

I always love your photos Cat, your bee one is amazing!

My hubby tries to show me how to keep my hands steady. He likens it to using a "Weaver stance" which apparently is how you are supposed to hold a handgun to keep it steady or more likely how you hold your body to keep from shaking unintenionily.

I do take lots of photos and most come out blurry. I used to be alot better (not blurry) when I was a young girl. Somewhere along the line I've developed the shakes. http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/04/errrr.gif I've thought about investing in a tripod, but I think that would be a pain to set up and take down as many times as I use my camera. I will keep practicing though. As you said, it's cheap enough with a digital camera.

The bee photo was basically a happy accident. I was trying to get a photo of the bee ON the flower. When I snapped the pic, he was gone and I thought that I totally missed the shot-until I brought the photos up on the computer. I was dancing around when I saw that pic. One of my best (IMO).

A tripod is a GREAT tool. I have one (actually two-one here & one in PR-but the one here is much better). I can't tell you how many of my photos come out blurry which is why I will always take about 5 (or more) shots of the same thing-just in case some don't come out.

Those are nice (I clicked on the link).

It is funny because RIGHT NOW at this very minute, I am working on my Vermont slide show. I didn't want it to be too long but I just have too many pics. :-\\ I have cut it down to 11:30 minutes (3 songs). I had to scrounge for that third song because there aren't a lot of Vermont songs out there.

Unfortunately, I haven't been taking too many pics of Nature-mainly of the kids. I have also been working on several slideshows. (Not just the one of Vermont that I mentioned but also one of PR & one of our last trip to PR). But, I have been itchin' to get out and start taking pics again. (I was just telling Carlos that yesterday.)

They taste like strawberries but you have to peel them and sometimes the seeds are a little weird to get stuck in teeth, but usually aren't a problem. The peel is fuzzy which is a little odd. As far as I know, they are always green (so they don't look ripe.)

Very pretty Paco. I love dandelions when they go to seed.

Plenty of childhood memories Patty.

JUST for your French tuition ;) :)....

Literally, dandelion =dent de lion, what it means lion's tooth.

Wow, those are cool, Cat.

Next time I see an afterglow from a massive nuclear explosion, I'll take a pic...post it...then we can compare the two.
Here's another I took last night, even more red.

I just got an e- mail today from my uncle Mel with a bunch of beautiful bird pictures. My uncle is a creationist and he's sent it to some other creationists.

Anyway I'm looking at these pictures and one of them are of the type of Macaws I use to feed at Marine World When I was a kid. The thought going through my head was is this the first time you guys stopped looking at how the evolving works and instead at what has evolved? That's great if they are. Sorry, here's what the macaw

When I took the photo, it actually looked more "orangier" to me as I snapped the pic, but in the camera it was darker and reddish. I zoomed into the max when I took it, so perhaps I got the closer surroundings to the sun, which was reddish, instead of what appeared to be more "orange" from the naked eye. I didn't complain.

Some cameras do alter color. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with your photo-on the contrary. I know that there are photographers who purposely alter the color-and again, there it is nothing wrong with that. It is literary license. I'm just inquiring about the artistic technique.

Maybe this camera alters color? Could be. As I said earlier, when I took the photo, the sky was quite orange in and around the sun, orange like this one below (which is not my photo, I copied from the net to prove an example)

But when I zoomed in closer to the sun, mine turned out darker. No rocket science on my end. Just 1 click. A 7-year-old could have taken the same pic I did. And if the sky is clear I might take a similar one tonight.

It looks like an African sunset....not that I've ever seen one but that's how I imagine they look.

I don't know if you know the story of that. I was trying to get the bee ON the flower.

I took these 2 photos about 20 minutes ago. Put them side by side. Photos were taken within 5 minutes of each other. Not exactly the same view, but there was a colour difference after 5 minutes (hence the 2nd photo)

I love the reddish hue color. Good Job.

I wasn't really prepared for the shot. We stopped on our way back from seeing our new grandson. We were in the middle of the Green Mountains and it was snowing. It was almost dark and we weren't too sure if was too dark or not. And I didn't have boots on-in fact, I had on shoes that were not meant for walking through the snow. There were others who were there before we were so there was a bit of a path so it wasn't too bad.

Here you can see the path a bit (I will have more shots of the path but I just haven't uploaded them yet).

It sure did. Sometimes when I take a picture from inside a moving vehicle it doesn't turn out so well, but other times it has. (Might depend on the settings used.)

On my cruise last year, I took a picture of the sun setting on the Pacific Ocean; I know I posted it to Facebook. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Thanks. I really don't have any tricks-most of my photos are taken on "auto" setting. :-[ :-\\ You really have to start with a GOOD camera. I have said this before & I'll say it again, I am VERY partial to Canons but there are other good cameras out there.

Yesterday I went to Toronto and visited some friends. Took a couple of photos of the CN Tower. 1,815 feet high (553M). It was the world's tallest freestanding structure on land from 1975 until 2007.

The 2nd photo is a close-up of the main observation deck, at about 1,130 feet high off the ground.

You can do it two ways. If you do it as an attachment, it can't be too big. If that is the way you are trying and it is not working, it usually means that the pic is too big and you have resize before uploading it.

Second method is to upload it to another site like Photobucket or Flickr. Then you right click on the photo and you click on "Copy image location." Then you come here and click on the icon that looks like a photo frame which will come out like {img}{/img} only instead of {} it will be []. (I can't show you the actually code because it won't appear.) You put your curser in the middle and hit paste.

I hope this makes sense.

That's right, it has to be uploaded to a site before it can be displayed online. I even upload pictures to my Facebook account and share them here afterwards (with their URLS between "img" tags).

Did you have to zoom-in to get a close-up shot of the bird? If so, were any other settings used, such as ISO?

Thank you for your kind words.

Yes, it is a bluejay but no I don't do professional photography. But, I have had some recognition for a few of my photos. One was used in the UN presentation:

http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2181/2469470878_7dc42b1a08.jpg

Another one was used here: http://stlouis.schmap.com/attractions/gateway_arch

On the side, there are 255 photos of the Arch. Mine is the 4th.

I have thought about printing some out, framing them and selling them as a "Cat" Original. The question is, would people buy them and if so, how much? :-\\

Photos from my abbreviated photo shoot at a local cemetery, only got as far as the memorial garden (where urns are buried instead of bodies in coffins, also a landscaped area designed to pay homage to the dead, most buried here were local philanthropists & businesspeople, veterans and war casualties or family thereof as far as I could tell)

I'll remove the pic if it offends anyone... I was trying to go with the visual & emotional impact of how nothing but the photographer and the fir trees in the distance were alive and the expanse of the land...

Actually, when I first started seeing the ravens, I thought they were crows, too. I made a comment about "Look how big that crow is?" but I was corrected. Ravens are basically big crows.

Oh man. You wouldn't believe how many of them were out there at that time. They were turning our weed garden into a Payton Place. Those pics were only a fraction at how many were actually out there.

Weed garden is now gone and so are the Japanese beetles-which is a good thing.

Thanks everyone.

Are those squirrels pesky sometimes?

I don't find them pesky. We don't mind feeding the squirrels along with the birds as long as they save some for others. Last year we had a chipmunk who filled his cheeks, took it to his lair, came back, filled his cheeks, etc. etc. He drained the entire feeder! Greedy little thing. >:( >:( >:( Haven't seen him around. I do see this little red one (or it could be more than one-they all look alike to me lol) frequently. He just eats his fill and then leaves. We also have a few gray ones, too. They usually eat what falls on the ground.

This morning alone, I saw tons of birds. The goldfinch pair, a woodpecker, the nuthatch, a pigeon, sparrows, a blue jay, and a gray squirrel. That was only this morning. I am amazed as how many birds we get at our feeder. Before we moved, we were only a block away and we didn't get too many-some sparrows, chickadees, dark-eyed junkos, blue jays, hummers, and an occasional woodpecker and of course the gray squirrels-and that was it.

Yesterday, I saw a hummer. We need to change their feeder. Unlike the other feeder that you refill when empty, the hummer feeder you have to change frequently because it gets yucky-moldy, and a lot of times the ants get in it. But we have a feeder that keeps the ants out. I am waiting for the opportunity to shot a hummer.

The feeder is on the north backside of the house-away from the road. I was in the kitchen taking the pic with the zoom through the window. We purposely didn't put screens on those windows for that reason. If we had screens, the pics would all look grainy. We just have to make sure that the windows are clean. lol. It is an area of the kitchen we call "Cat T.V." because the cats love watching the birds as much as we do.

Yesterday, I was thinking that we should take a drive for last night's show. Carlos didn't want to do that. About a half hour before the show started, he suggested that we venture WAY, WAY up. Yeah, we have a copula. What would be a better place for the viewing of the show? I was afraid that the house next door would be in the way. As you can see from these pics, it was not. We only stayed for the first half. But, I got a bunch of cool pics.

I would love to go swimming in it.

The Niobrara River is a popular tourist destination for canoe and float trips, and there are a lot of outfitters along the river who rent out canoes and inner tubes.

I definitely want to go back there and do another float trip, the last time I did that was a good 15 years ago.

I agree with the above. :)

If you're not completely satisfied with the way your pictures have come out: there's a plethora of software available to enhance them. I think they all come with a "quick fix" option that tackles most of the problems (like slightly out-of-focus, or overexposed/underexposed pictures) at once. I use them all the time! ;)

Some more random German landscape from southern Lower Saxony which I photographed during a motorcycle ride today (the camera had issues so I had to remove the battery and "reset" it, that's why the date is off).
It's quite a few pictures and I don't want to spam new posts so I put them all in this one.
I sometimes could only stop at less than ideal places and the colors are a bit off again but I think it's tolerable.

There's a funny story behind the phone booth. When David Letterman would do his Top Ten lists he would say it came from the "Home Office" from some Midwestern town (he'd change it up every few years), and for several years the fictional Home Office was located in Wahoo, Nebraska.

To go along with the joke, the city of Wahoo installed that phone booth along with a large billboard that read, "Home Office of the Late Show with David Letterman."

The billboard is no longer there and the phone booth has fallen into a state of disrepair, so I sent that pic to David Letterman on Twitter letting him know about the current condition of the Home Office. :D

^ Very nice, all of them. O0

That first picture, the one with turbines, reminds me of the ones along Interstate 10 in the Coachella Valley of California. There are many of them situated there that help provide power to the area. In fact, I was just there on Wednesday of last week.
When I was in California in 2001 we also came across a valley full of turbines. I don't recall where it was but it's likely the same place (was that near Palm Springs?). From what I remember from back then is that the US versions were a lot smaller than ours though (hey, finally we've got something bigger here!!! :D). Some of ours are well over 300ft tall (though I don't know how tall the ones in my pictures are but I would estimate them around 300 ft)

Yes, likely so. My grandparents lived near there, which is why we've passed through the area. But recently we've had to go out there at least once every week or two to clear out their home because they've both passed on. :\'(

Yeah, so we gotta go out there every week or two and clear out their home, and decide what to do with some of the items in there. In fact, my dad has plans to go out there this Wednesday; not sure if I'll be going with him or not. If so, then we'll see all those turbines again (sometimes they're turning, sometimes they're not).

We had a bunch of them in our trees last year. I couldn't figure out what they were at first and I TRIED to shoot them but they didn't want to be shot. These are a couple of the best shots I could get-and you can see not great.

it does look like a titmouse in that the black is both the over the eye and on the head. I notice the body shape of this bird is like a robin. Well looked in my little bird book. says this bird eats insects and likes oil sunflower seeds. This bird eats peanuts too! my kind of bird. Don't know if this is it, seems to be more of a northern CA bird, but my little book is old.

thanks there seem to be a bunch of things that have seeded around here probably from all this rain. There is one other interesting plant I haven't taken a picture of and where it gets more sun then my garden right now, it seems the plant has some purple flowers. Glad I have some in a pot now, it should look good with the violas. Another plant I didn't take a picture of must be some sort of dandilion. Yellow flower and seeds to blow everywhere. The one in my garden a foot tall and the leafs have some light purple color to them.

the ladybugs like collecting pollen off the dandelions. I haven't read that dandelions are their most favorate flowers to get pollen from, but this is probably the best they can find. Now that I've looked up some plants they might like more for pollen and plants that aphids like, I can start a ladybug garden.

The photo is of a town called Bowral. It's 118 kilometres (73 miles) south-west of Sydney and 49 kilometres (30 miles) west of my place. I took this photo from a lookout near the town. :)

not sure I really didn't plant them. I put the bird of parodice plant in and after a few days of wattering, the mushrooms just popped up. If they were with the bird of parodice plants, you'd think you'd see it at the store. I wonder if it's in the potting soil that we used to help condition the soil.

2 days ago a (by German standards) nasty storm went over northern Germany. Our local forest has taken a massive beating in some areas.

This is what it should look like, a dense forest where you can't see 50 yards far:
https://s6.postimg.org/xfszm8znl/WP_20180120_12_49_24_Pro.jpg

And this is what some parts do look like now:

The treeline used to begin near the street. Now you can see into the void for a 100 yards or so.

2 days ago a (by German standards) nasty storm went over northern Germany. Our local forest has taken a massive beating in some areas.

This is what it should look like, a dense forest where you can't see 50 yards far:

And this is what some parts do look like now:

The treeline used to begin near the street. Now you can see into the void for a 100 yards or so.

In the 36 years of my life I've never seen so much damage done here.
But remember, there is no climate change and weather doesn't get more extreme. Keep buying them SUVs fellas. Make rich men great again! 8-P

I hate to see damage like that. (I have seen photos of Puerto Rico after Maria.)

I know this is going off topic a bit but we are TRYING to do our part. Our car gets about 40 mpg (don't know the conversion to liters per kilometer-Sorry). We have a heat exchange so we don't burn "dead dinosaurs" in our house. We were looking into putting solar panels on our house but it is not feasible because of our roof & neighbor's trees. I wish we could do more.

40mpg = 5.88l/100km or 17 km/l (I've programmed a little conversion chart for all sorts of EU/US units for myself when I started motorcycling and had to find out that the best site about my bike was an American one :)). That's pretty good. My remark about climate change wasn't solely directed at Americans as SUVs become more and more popular here too. 8-P

Sometimes they like to hang around together in a certain place. Something in the air probably attracts them to that spot.

And this picture isn't exactly nature but that was the greatest snow extent this winter in my neighbourhood. It was in mid-February. After that it was melting faster than it could pile on.

Still plenty of damage in the woods from that storm in January. The forest crews have already cleared out a lot of the fallen trees but many more yet remain.

I know I shouldn't have done it but I actually used my brain... The conifers create shadow so the flowers can't grow while the foliage trees are bare during winter/ early spring and therefore the flowers get enough light to grow under them and it only took me one day to figure that out. I'm such a genius. :D ;D

Here's a forsythia bush in my neighbour's yard. I'm going to get a close-up of the flowers on it next time, they're not in full bloom yet.

Dead end! The downhill view was more clear when I was biking on the road, but I didn't want to take a photo in the middle of the road so we'll have to contend with this ;D

I believe this is a magnolia tree. I haven't a clue, though!

I don't think so, cherry trees have smaller flowers. It could be magnolia or tulip, or dogwood - I could be wrong

The say one's man's trash is another man's treasure
If it was up to me I would keep you forever

'Cause I understand you, we see eye to eye
Like a double rainbow in the sky
And wherever you go, so will I
Because a double rainbow

nice pictures, where were they taken? :)
At a location called Lengeder Teiche (Ponds of Lengede).

Those ponds were man made to supply a mine with water. I didn't take any pictures of the ponds as they are almost all silt up by now and walking around them is like walking through a tunnel of trees without much to be seen.
It's a historic ground though. There was a big mining accident there in 1963 as one of the ponds broke through into the tunnel system killing several miners and trapping others in an air bubble for two weeks.

My grandfather was on site back then to assist the rescue teams (he was a firefighter).

This one was shot through a window that was very wet. We TRIED to open the window but it wouldn't go and didn't want to go downstairs because by the time I did, the rainbows would probably be gone. Not one of my best pics.

I didn't even know about that. :o

My grandfather (and I believe everyone else involved in the rescue operations) got a medal for his service at Lengede which I kept after his death:

https://s6.postimg.cc/j4dxwpald/WP_20180601_22_38_22_Pro.jpg
The box reads: We thank you for your selfless help during the heavy mine disaster in Lengede 10.24. - 11.7.1963
Ilseder smeltery
Illegible signatures
(Americans will notice that we write dates differently than you do by going in the order of day - months - year but I used the US variant in the translation to avoid confusion).

The medal's front side reads:
Ilseder smeltery

Thanks for help (rendered) in Lengede.
https://s6.postimg.cc/3x2jq0ftd/WP_20180601_22_54_54_Pro.jpg

The rear side shows a drill head carving the rescue shaft and the date again.

But this is a dedicated picture thread...I mean people with slow internet or stone age computers will most likely not open it anyway. ???
Why restricting it for the majority of people just because a handful could get hardware problems? This is a bit like putting a speed limit of 20mph on interstates because there might still be someone with a Ford T model out there.
Just saying. :)

I took this one yesterday, shortly before noon pacific time:

Right after I took it, I uploaded it to Facebook... and six hours later, it was later shared on the TV news! (The weather lady who usually does the weather at that time invites viewers to share weather photos on her FB fanpage; she usually picks the best ones to share on the air.)

(Warning: because this picture is on FB, it has a big long URL, so it's only going to be temporary. Enjoy the pic while you can!)

https://scontent-lax3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/40172930_10215202266483782_6039019490451128320_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=d3f1fbf17b0c90ac2203cf3aca0b8986&oe=5C30B37B

And yes, it got shared on the TV news; this is my 3rd picture that has received recognition on TV! :D

Congrats on getting your photo featured (again). Those are some really thick clouds! Did it rain?

I might upload some of my UK pics tonight if I get the chance.

Rain? No. Just cooler temps. But the clouds were gone by nightfall.

I just realized they're all massive on the desktop version of the site :o I'll try to fix that.

I actually have a lot more but I know one poster posting too many pics is discouraged. I'll try to save some of them for the winter when I most certainly won't be going outside. ;D

From my Wales trip two weeks ago. It was super cloudy unfortuantely, so I didn't get to see anything on the top of Mount Snowdown (the highest peak in England/Wales) as up there it was compeltely foggy :-\\. But I got some nice pictures on the ground.

This was about as high as I got before it started turning foggy. Still worth the trip! ;)

It is! It was such a beautiful and serene location. We took the train from Llanberis station up to Snowdown Mountain, that's where I took the second pic. You're lucky that you've been several times. :P

Wales in general was just breathtaking. Those mountains up against the sea, and the hillside towns and the castles. It was definitely worth the trip. :)

It was the same over here. Last Friday it was 32°C and I enjoyed lunch outside at a park sitting under a tree. Then later in the day a tornado came by and it was 7°C the next morning. :-\\

We did have a few cool days earlier in the month though, so a few trees were fooled into thinking it was autumn. I think this was one such tree. I took this on the Saturday when the autumn weather just started, but this one looks like it was a casualty of the "fake autumn" from a few weeks ago.

I don't have a clear view of it from my house (since my front window is east-facing), so I have to go outside to a certain vantage point to get a good shot.

Like I said in a previous post, the TV meteorologist who does the evening news at that time invites viewers to share their weather photos on the air, and she picks the best ones. No other local TV weather reporter has done that. And I sometimes get inspiration from other submitters whose pics get shown. (And believe me, there are plenty of "regular contributors", some who post almost every day.)

It might not be Hoover Dam but it's still an interesting sight.

This is the Gustav Adolf Stave Church in Hahnenklee. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustav_Adolf_Stave_Church)
The picture was pretty difficult to take as the sun was completely blinding any attempt at a picture from directly in front of it. I had to to shoot it from between some information boards to somewhat block it out.

@Elor I love the photos of the mountains! I wish we had those in Southern Ontario :-https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1943/45178682392_f1c89614e2.jpg

And I did not alter the colors on the pics in any way shape or form. That is the way they came out of the camera.

I was telling Carlos yesterday that I have lived here for about 30 years now and the colors of this state never grow old. Every season brings beautiful colors and I am always in awe of them.

Great pics as always Elor! I like the forest trails and the tree lined street especially.

I'm going to try to head to some forest trails today myself. Here is the park I went to two weeks ago in full autumn. Unfortunately it dropped to 0°C last night and frost developed, so many trees either lost their leaves or are a lot more dull, so we are a bit passed peak autumn now. As you can see, many trees have lost the leaves on their crown. :-//

Thanks guys. I like sharing photos of things I pass by on my cycling trips but I'm not sure I'd call myself a 'photographer'. I actually suck at taking photos, I can never get the exposure and temperature right. My smartphone's AI and post-editing do most the heavy lifting. :-[

The main reason I bought my phone (and not another brand) was for the camera, so I feel I should put it to good use ;D

There's the "automatic" setting which lets you point and shoot. I use that when the lighting looks impossible to get right (often in direct sunlight). I stick with the "Pro" mode which lets me adjust thing like focus, exposure, temperature, focal length, shutter speed etc. which is great for taking in a lot of detail and zooming.

Pro made also lets you add a filter, "vif" (lively) increases contrast and saturation from what I can tell, "brisé" (brisk) washes things out for a more spring-like appearance, I'm not sure what "calm" filter does but it does it make it nicer compared to standard ;D

I stick with vif for nature shots, unless it looks cartoonishly colourful, then I drop down to standard or calme, and I might use brisé or "nostalgie" (greyish) in the winter.

RARELY do I do any editing. In fact, most of the time, my cameras are on "auto." Yes, that is cameraS-plural. I have a few that each one is used for different purposes. My Canon SX200 is used when I am taking pics for eBay or when we are on trips and I am shooting from the car. My Canon SX50/SX60 is used for just about everything else. (My SX50 died and I upgraded to the SX60.) I do have an EOS-T3 that I haven't even used yet. Not sure if I will or just sell it because I love my SX60 so much. I don't have to worry about changing lenses. I can even get pics of the craters on the moon with my SX60.

I like to refer to myself as an amateur photographer. My claim to fame is that one of my pics was used in a U.N. presentation. The thing was, it wasn't one of my best pics and it was taken with my first Canon digital (A430) which wasn't the best camera. This is the pic-taken in Puerto Rico back in 2007:

Nice shot! I think you are more deserving off calling yourself a photographer than me. O0

I don't like my camera's automatic mode. Compared to the pro mode it leaves a lot to be desired.

This is a panorama shot I took yesterday. My phone takes it in automatic mode (warning: 30MB picture)

https://i.imgur.com/OyQxjiy.jpg

But this is the video of me taking that panorama. IMO this is closer to what the colours looked like in real life. The automatic made it look quite faded/washed out (warning: 20MB video... Somehow the video of the panorama is smaller than the photo of the panorama ???)

https://i.imgur.com/Gu9XXkq.mp4

And finally, here's a photo I took in that spot in pro mode. I prefer this one, although I think I could have done a better job of focusing on the trees.

However, we noticed that the colors were muted. I don't think it is peak yet but there are some trees that look kind of bare. We have had rain, rain, and more rain. We also have had a lot of wind. So, I don't know if I will be able to get some good shots. Yes, it is raining again today-and I think the temps are supposed to get COLD tomorrow.

I'm assuming your weather is similar to ours, plus or minus a few days, since we're nearby and on similar latitudes. It dropped to freezing point here a week or so ago and frost developed (there was a layer of white over the grass and rooftops the next morning - easy to confuse for a light dusting of snow) which killed off many reds and dulled the colours of other leaves. It hasn't been the best autumn with the some ultra-hot days and then a sudden freeze :-\\

Tonight will really kill off many leaves over here since there is a 40% chance of snow. Even if the snow doesn't fall, it was cold enough to be a possibility, which is not good for the leaves. :\'(

Surprisingly, many trees are still green. I don't know what explains that, but I don't expect them to put on much of a lights show once "unofficial winter" starts in late October/early November. Their colours are likely to be dull or the leaves will fall as green. :-X

That seems to be "onmicultural" (is that even a word....?) then as it is the same here....

Or young guys in way to powerful cars who have to show how manly they are by completely ignoring the traffic code...(usually in Audis, BMWs or tuned VWs.....) ::)

I take pics from the car all the time-but I don't drive so it is not an issue. I know there are people who do take pics as they are driving.

I take pictures from inside a moving car, but NOT when I'm the driver. However, when I drive certain places and I see things that look so picturesque, I just wanna take a picture, but it's not safe so I don't do it. I don't even have a cameraphone.

This was hard to take because I accidentally left the ISO at 50 (making photos darker) and the sunlight was blindingly bright, and I was in a moving car --> the trees are a bit underexposed. :-[

Anyhoo, great capture!

November was the darkest month here in Southern Ontario in about 3 years; we only had one day with more sunshine than cloud the entire month. So the sunrise on this chilly -8°C (18°F) morning to me was not just beautiful but also an emotional experience. ;D If you live in a place that still sees the sun then DON'T WASTE IT. :-X

So many things wrong with the last photo. My long shadow for instance ;D I biked 14 km (8.7 miles) uphill to get to this park, but it was worth it (and just a 100m/330 ft elevation gain; nothing too insane but big enough to make riding downhill feel like a roller-coaster :D). I tried to make the yellow sunflowers and white lilies off to the side look as colourful as it did IRL, but the red sunshine reflecting off the orange trees was overpowering for the camera.

Now as la belle saison (the beautiful season) gives way to la saison froide (the cold season), i'm going to have to travel a bit further to find locations worthy of photography. :o

Thanks! Around 8:30AM. It wasn't really that dark IRL–I lowered the exposure levels on the camera so the sun wouldn't look like a blob, but everything else got darker too which created a really atmospheric effect!

I realized I could upload some more sunrise pictures, ones I took from my bedroom window. Before, I was reluctant to do that for privacy reasons, but I realized if I upload it as attachment, I can evade detection from search engines or non-users :D

Thanks! Around 8:30AM. It wasn't really that dark IRL–I lowered the exposure levels on the camera so the sun wouldn't look like a blob, but everything else got darker too which created a really atmospheric effect!

I realized I could upload some more sunrise pictures, ones I took from my bedroom window. Before, I was reluctant to do that for privacy reasons, but I realized if I upload it as attachment, I can evade detection from search engines or non-users :D

The pics are compressed to fit the 128kb limit. This one is from November 23rd.

Well that's good. I have been posting a lot of my "people" pictures (including ones of just me) as attachments lately, to fit the 128kb limit, as well.

Anyhoo, lovely picture there. (As well as your other one.)

We got pumelled by the same storm too. I think we got 20 cm (8 inches). Now the snow depth is knee-deep, I bet almost 60 cm (2 feetish) in total x_x

That would be, according to the dictionary, an arch resembling a rainbow made by the sun shining through vapor or mist; caused by refraction through a spray of water from a cataract, waterfall, fountain, etc., rather than through droplets of rain.

But when I saw that rainbow on Monday afternoon, I just had to capture the moment.

Thanks guys!

I took those on different days over the past two months. Over here it gets cold and stays cold and it snows nearly everyday and it piles up, so it wasn't all from one snowstorm. As for the snow depth, I think it was 80 cm (2.5 feet) at its greatest extent.

I don't think this was the biggest it got, but pretty close to it (January 30)

Nope, huge snowstorm happening right now actually. It might drop 20 cm (8 inches). There was a thaw in early February though.

That is great. I have tried to get four seasons shot. In fact, I just tried to photoshop all of the four into one pic. It didn't really come out as well as I had hoped. I will try to post it later.

Good luck with that. I have tried to combine 2 or more pictures into 1 (using a photo editor of some sort) and sometimes it comes out well, other times not so much.

I used the Google Photos app on my phone. It was a bit frustrating to get it right, since when I pinched my fingers to zoom in, it would rotate the image too. It took some patience. I also wanted more of the sky to show in the winter pic (since it was very blue) while keeping everything aligned, but I was unsuccessful, and just went with what I had ;D

Hopefully we get to see that pic soon 8)

Thank you everyone for the karma/compliments :D

Not the best. It would have been much better if I used a sugar maple instead of a red maple because the autumn wasn't as brilliant.

I was thinking of doing more season comparison pics but I think some of these winter pics I took this morning look alright on their own (and aligning everything perfectly is a pain in the butt, I feel you @Cat ;D)

I didn't even know you could walk from where the dog came from. I guess in the winter there are no rules about where to walk. :D

Here are the summer versions for comparison:

I have quite a few from the past few days. I think you can zoom to make any of them bigger. :)

I was badass enough to walk on it. Okay, I saw the footprints and even the sledding and snowmobile tracks and decided it was safe. Speaking of which, remind me to not only get into fatbiking, but also snowmobiling and ice skating next winter. It might turn the season into something to look forward to instead of dreading :P

I was badass enough to walk on it. Okay, I saw the footprints and even the sledding and snowmobile tracks and decided it was safe. Speaking of which, remind me to not only get into fatbiking, but also snowmobiling and ice skating next winter. It might turn the season into something to look forward to instead of dreading :P

Great shots. I don't like walking on water in the winter. Every year there is at least one story about someone going through the ice. What I don't understand is WHY people drive their vehicles on ice. And then they wonder why the said vehicle sinks.

For context, Canada Geese fly south for the winter and return to Canada in the spring. While they look majestic, they are known for being a nuisance by attacking you if they're in a bad mood, standing in the middle of the road and not moving, pooping all over the sidewalks, and demanding (not asking) that you feed them if you're eating outside. ;D

The weather the day after was sunny and the snow was gone by the afternoon. It was just a fluffy wet snow that doesn't stick around long. Now we've been having rain on and off all week and the temperature bounces between the lower 40's to the upper 50's.

can git a picture of what I still have that looks good. lupine seeds, chrysanthum seeds for the fall, and monkeyflower seeds should be comming. I thought it might be a cool idea to use my pond since lupines like moisture and are by riverbanks and monkey flowers grow around water as well if not on pads in the water

Not those Canada Goose. They will attack you if they're in the mood ;D

They also start breathing really heavy even if you're several metres away from them, as a warning to not get close.

If they're used to humans, chances are they might harass you for food if you're eating outside, especially if they're used to being human-fed.

90% of the time they are okay, but I always procede with caution. :P

LOVE lilacs. I wish they would stay in bloom for longer than just a couple of weeks.

A few weeks ago, we walked over to our old house because they were painting it and we wanted to take a look at it. My heart sank when I noticed that they pulled out two HUGE lilac bushes that were in front on the house. I almost cried when I saw that.

We do have a small bush in back. When we moved in, we noticed it was being strangled. So, Carlos & I went out and pulled all the vines that were strangling it. We do get blooms and every year we seem to get more and more. And last fall we planted two lilac bushes sticks. Right now we have two stick with leaves. It will be a long time before we have blooms on them.

I'm not sure. Although the people who contribute to this meteorologist's FB page seem to be a group in itself.

The picture was taken in Ventura, CA, by the way. It was a nice clear day, not too hot (although it was between 75 and 80 degrees F. at the time I snapped the photo).

One day, before lockdown, back in January, I was waiting at a bus stop waiting four other people all staring into their phones. Very close by a matter of yards away, in a bush was a robin perch on a branch appearing so tame and not frightened, not one saw such wonderful nature up close , only I noticed, it seems a world has been lost with the younger generation.

Yes. But they like to hang out in the yard next door (the church). They have a BIG yard. One time, there was one on our porch. As we were leaving, we could walk right by it and it didn't move-but you could tell that it wasn't well. When we returned, the bird was gone.

This was a video I did a few years ago.

Did you take it through a telescope or just naked eye camera?

To me it looks like an out of focus star or Venus. Mercury is usually very close to the horizon and the sky is still light before it disappears. Venus is often the brightest object in the West sometimes hours after sunset, but if in focus the brightest phase is actually a crescent. A full phase puts it in line with the sun.

Jupiter is bright too but through a telescope or maybe good binoculars it looks like a mini solar system.

In any case much props for getting something with your camera. I tried getting comet pictures this summer but nothing worked. Aside from buying expensive equipment which I wasn’t about to do.

I shot it with a Canon Powershot SX50 which has a 50 zoom on it (one of the reason why I bought it). Unfortunately, it died a few years ago so I upgraded to a Powershot SX60 which has a 65 zoom.

I agree. Would look a lot better without the fence.

It might be the way I look at things, but I think the fence makes the whole picture. It has character, it says something, it evokes a feeling. The others are beautiful, but they're pure nature shots.

I went to the Harz Mountains today. What a sad sight. The trees really can't deal with the changing climate and then they get destroyed by bark beetles when they are weakened.

The little green patches are intact parts of the forest. All trees in the brown areas are dead:

We went on our annual Fall Foliage Photo Shoot today. It is not quite peak where we are. We had to go up into the mountains to get the real colorful shots. These were some of the shots I got.

This first one you can see how the colors are not quite vivant. This was before heading to the mountains.

They're a deciduous tree, meaning that they have leafs that turn colors in the fall, then gradually come off the tree...and in the springtime, they grow new foliage. :)

We were told that these are males who didn't get a mate. They all hang out together because "that's what males do." (That is exactly how she put it and of course we all laughed.) She said that they will hang out until migration in hopes that they get a mate. We said that they have a LONG wait. (They won't migrate until late September/October.

From https://faunafacts.com/geese/do-geese-bite/

"Geese can and will bite if they feel threatened or if you get too close to their nests. Although geese bites aren’t usually too dangerous to humans, bites have been known to cause bruising and bleeding and can sometimes get infected."

Although ducks and swans can digest all types of bread, too much can leave them feeling full without giving them all of the important vitamins, minerals and nutrients they need. So, although bread isn't harmful, our advice is to only feed small amounts to birds.

Can I add my .02 cents? Though nice looking, I strongly dislike these geese. Around here in Chicagoland they are like vermin. They've decided they love to live around humans but won't play by our rules. How many times I go driving along the nearby streets and have to stop, swerve and blow the horn because a gaggle of geese is slowly crossing the street (I've even heard of them crossing Lake Shore Drive). They have obnoxious attitudes but have lost their fear of humans. They leave their filthy droppings everywhere. They make a lot of noise at 5 in the morning and like to use our condo roof as a landing pad. They nest in the most inconvenient places and hiss at anyone that gets too close (one goose set up a nest right next to the entrance of the health club, and her partner hissed at all the patrons going in and out). Plus sometimes they bully the ducks, who I do like. >:(

Often times I will video birds flying. One time when we were in Puerto Rico, I was following a bird with the video and didn't noticed until I bought the video up on the computer that he actually had a fish and ate it midair.

Thanks. I have heard that it’s really nice up there. I think my grandparents visited it sometime in the 1990s and brought me back a t-shirt from there.

Yeah, it’s in southern Utah, just on the other side of the Arizona-Utah state line. Maybe I can get there someday.
