** Weekly Fuji X-Series Photo-Sharing Thread June 21-27, 2025**

Very nice shot...
 
I'd think the house next door needed to be there....?
 
Nice array of landscapes
 
Well, one couldn't get tired of that view everyday...
 
Thank you.
 
I camped with some friends in the NC mountains last week. The weather was cool at 5,500' and we had late afternoon storms each day.

I brought my X-T20, which I may keep forever, the xf 35mm f/2 and the xf 18-55mm.

Scene of Mt Hardy from the east, with rhododendron just starting to bloom. This view looks over the headwaters of the Pigeon River, which flooded badly during hurricane Helene.

Lovely photo with orange and blue colors.

The little green heron was closer to me than the juvenile yellow crowned heron when the green heron blasted off. Of all the frames from the blastoff, I like the wing position of the frame I've chosen and the expression of the night heron. To me the night heron looks closer yet it was not. The green heron turned and passed in front of me and that's the second image I'm sharing. This was the first green heron I've been able to photograph this season, a bird I very much enjoy watching and photographing.

Hello, an uneventful walk exploded to life yesterday, with loads of moorhen chicks running about as if they'd be wound up:

The first and last of the chicks is great!

Wow, you captured that view very well 👍
Happy camping - I will be 70 y/o next month and I just bought a new small tent! ;)

Thank you Andre. Camping in the wilds is my way of escaping all the bad news at home and finding some relief. I turned 67 in April, my friends are a few years older.

Do you have public lands where you can camp in the Netherlands? I suppose there aren’t mountains.

Wild camping is not allowed in NL but there are many 'nature campsites'.
We do have hills in the southern province of Limburg, the highest 'mountain'
is a staggering 322,4 meters above sea level ;)

A nearby water pump station has been repurposed as a starting point for an educational trail - lots of swallows found their new home there. Some of them didn't mind me having a good look at them :)
