Welcome to the Weekly Image Thread!

This thread will appear every Saturday (GMT). If the thread is nearing full before the next Saturday, I may start a new thread and carry on until it fills or the next Saturday arrives and it is reasonably full in which case I will start another. Confused, so am I! From time to time the start could be delayed if I am unavailable.

Although this Weekly thread is in the Olympus SLR forum, we openly welcome users of all brands and models.

Please:
  1. Reply to this post and change the TITLE!
  2. Please reply to at least one other contribution, your replies encourage posters!!!
  3. If asked, please share your processing techniques or technical details.
  4. Please show the EXIF if possible. Please identify the lens used regardless of which camera was used to take the image. This helps people form opinions of the lens used with the body to possibly influence future acquisitions.
  5. If special lighting was used to create your image stating what was done may help others.
Thanks for joining and contributing this week.

I have to wonder where the woodpecker got that name. I've never been able to see any red on its breast in any pictures I've seen.

Your resident rodent is cute. That said, I know from personal experience that, except for occasional appearances, squirrels are anything but cute. I finally had to stop hanging up my birdfeeders because I couldn't make it impossible for squirrels to rob them -- the only place I could hang them where they were easily visible from inside was from the eaves.

There was one squirrel in my yard that would even challenge my great big cat.

Great shot, does the stair’s goes to the water ?….Lake?, Sea?

Air traffic control with pelicans made me laugh.

Is that a poisonous mushroom? I don't know what MO means.

I wanted you to see this. The 150-400 with 2x teleconverter. Hand held and it was hard to keep it in the center of the frame, if in it at all. f/11 is wide open with the 2x. I was happy with the result. Rich

It is hard to keep the target in the frame, but when you do you get rewarded with shots like this.

Where is air traffic control when you need it?

ATSB is looking into that one :-D (Air Transport Safety Bureau)
 
Beautiful Owl and a nice shot, I've only experience something like this once in Arizona (25 yrs ago) if I can dig up my shot I'll post it.
 
Beautiful autumn weather last week around the chalet in france

Haven't been posting much of late. Apologies. The less I work the less time I seem to have...

That is the first time I have seen cranes there WN. Usually it is 'the usual suspects' there, Canada Geese. Some of the cranes overwinter here now so these may be the ones that will stay and are not enroute.

Thanks Rich.

If you look closely enough and your eyes cooperate, you will find a couple just to the left of where the cranes begin. I did not see them when I took the images!

Nice to see you, Rich. It is certainly a place for photography, Rich. All are beautiful. The first is my favorite. Rich

and not just for photography :)

All were taken within 5 minute walk from our chalet. I'm a lucky bunny

I've been following your postings Rich and the seabirds have been active as well as some beautiful sunsets there. Very envious

Thank you very much :-D No it stops at the railings in front of the girl. This is from the fort of Akronauplia in Nauplio Greece, which is a coastal city and the first capital of Greece, after the revolution against the Turks

We have a collective word for all of them. I thought you also did and that that word was tits. Seems I was wrong - again.

Looking further into Wikipedia it says that chickadees and titmice





are referred to as tits everywhere except North America where they are referred to by their given name ... I assume that includes Canada and Mexico but I leave that thought for Andrew .... I would expect any North American ornithologist to refer to to them as tits but I don't know any ornithologists to inquire ...

WhyNot

Yeah .... and they are generally called "Red-Bellied" woodpeckers and what I read is

"Oddly enough, the Red-bellied Woodpecker is named for its least distinctive feature, a light wash of red or pink on its belly that can only be seen if the bird is hanging upside-down."

and I note that the young don't even have that read head ...

I had a rat terrier that caught one one day. the squirrel grabbed onto his belly and they rolled twice around and then ran off in different directions ... Our dog ignored squirrels after that encounter ...
