Down the players tunnel at Turf Moor
Burnley FC.
The Burnley players come down these steps onto the hallowed turf to massive rapturous applause and cheering at the beginning of each game.
This always makes the hair on my arms and neck stand up. I love to see the Claret & Blue.

A disagreement over who should occupy one perch, when there were many to choose from. Sometimes birds behave like humans I guess. They want something just because someone else has it.
Twice in the last two weeks we've had turkeys strutting down the street - full-on display for the females who are just off to the side. They are quite gorgeous and pay no heed to walkers or cars trying to pass by.....
The glorious Dormello Olgiata jacket, won with Tempesti, a powerful 3-year-old horse, the Federico Tesio Gr. 2, a race dedicated to the breeder and creator of the Dormello Olgiata breed (1869-1954).
On board Lanfranco Dettori, known as Frankie, given that he carries out his activities mainly in the United Kingdom.

Starling and Blackbird fighting over mealworms that I had put out for them. Although it looks like the starling is the aggressor it was actually the blackbird, he wanted all the mealworms for himself. The battle lasted for a few minutes, with the blackbird taking on all comers until the female blackbird arrived when surprisingly instead of joining in with the male she went for him and he just turned tail and flew away. Just goes to show, Never argue with a woman!!!!!
The science and the art of photography are really one, and not opposed to each other :-)

The song that brightens up our winters and sounds enchanting to us is designed to tell rivals, in no uncertain terms, that this territory is taken!
A visit to Norfolk would never be complete without the obligatory shot of one of the many Water Mills. I didn't have much luck with sunrises or sunsets during my weeks stay. However, the forecast for sunset on my last night looked favourable. I made my way to the River Ant and walked out to Turf Fen Drainage Mill, which I had passed the day previously on a rented Boat. You cannot get across to the mill without a boat, but there is a footpath and mooring opposite. The mooring was pretty busy with boats but there was a decent gap to get this shot across the River Ant. There was very little cloud, but just enough to give a little bit of sky interest and colour.
Turf Fen Drainage Mill was built around 1875 to drain the Horning Marsh into the River Ant to make the land available for grazing. The Mill is 31 feet high and had a unique double scooped wheel. It went out of service in 1920 and like all the other Broads Mills has been replaced by modern pumping systems.
One hummingbird landed and held onto the stalk for some time. It wasn't feeding so I'm not sure what was going on. The other hummers were having lots of staring contests but no overt fighting, though they really liked feeding on these flowers.

I was treated to a nice moonrise in my "backyard" last month and was fortunate enough to have my small Konica Genba Kantoku with me at the time.

People lived in Glaumbær turf house until 1947. Icelandic turf houses were the product of a difficult climate, offering superior insulation compared to buildings solely made of wood or stone, and the relative difficulty in obtaining other construction materials in sufficient quantities.
Turf Fen Drainage Mill
The mill, which was used to drain land for cattle grazing, was built in 1875 and is only accessible via boat. The mill was restored in 1980's.
I went out yesterday morning with my buddy Rick in search of the desert variety of burrowing owls. We were out early in the morning when the Las Vegas temperatures were actually tolerable. We saw eight owls in total, a really good morning to say the least. This one led us around stopping on three different and distinct perches. This was by far my favorite as it rested and watched from atop this yucca. We were able to get closer, but I like this image as I think it portrays its "turf" really well. Always a blast to go out shooting with Rick!
Thank so much for your views, faves and comments!
Have a Blessed Sunday!
