Mulig mine macro er fine - men her var det utrolig mye med stemning! Så vakkert Tarolino! De to siste er så fulle av trolsk stemning, litt mystikk - og en ro bare naturen selv kan skape! Og så trenger den bare en god fotograf til å forevige øyeblikket!
Beautiful sea views, :) I love the moments you've captured here, so calm and peaceful. My eyes are green again. LoL. Mine is up now.
BTW, the butterflies stays on the breeding or hatchery areas, not released coz they are being conserved and for research too. The pupas are exported to other countries for propagation too and am not sure if they are for cross-breeding.
Uskomattoman kauniit yökuvat tukkasotkista. Valotusaika lienee ollut pitkä. Lokkien kevätleikit näyttävät kiinnostavan harakkaakin. Mainioita kuvia taas :))
Wonderful shots! I love the night scene. So different. If you wanted I think I may be able to help get your pictures to show up less pixelated. I had a problem with this when enlarging the photos on my own blog. They look great but they might be able to be sharper. With shots like this why not have them be the best they can be? :)
Vilken stralande himmel pa den forsta bilden! Jag laste om tidsbrist nedanfor. Det ar sant att det tar mycket tid att blogga, och folja med andras blog. En av mina bloggvanner talar ofta om det, och jag brukar ge henne radet att blogga da det passar henne, att folja andras blogg da hon har lust, och att inte gora det till ett arbete. Men hon har en kansla av att hon maste folja med ett otal andra bloggare, och snart sitter hon vid sin dator 24 timmar i dygnet. Hennes man klagar redan over att hon inte bryr sig om nagot annat. Hon har blivit bloggnarkoman, helt enkelt. Det ar nog bast att blogga som man vill och hinner, och inte gora det till nagot obligatoriskt. Vad gor det om man inte besoker alla varje dag?
A great series of photos - my very favourite is the almost-night-shot. The colours on the water together with the birds and the little light dots in the back are enchanting.
Looking at more of your larger pics they actually don't look very pixelated, but you could try this anyway if you want. Well, It seems odd putting this in a post but i dont know how else to tell you. When your creating your post after you've uploaded your image, go into the edit html tab and look for the /s400/ in the code, and change it to /s800/ and it should improve your picture quality.
Okay. I use another method of uploading mine so I dont have to change the code at all. I just copy it into the text from Photobucket. Easier that way I find. Anyway thanks for your respons.
The first and last photos are just wonderful. I like the color of the sky in the first and the color reflected in the water in the last. Very well done.

Valkyrien of Norway made me a hot blogger by this award
Thankyou dear friend. I must take care not to burn my fingers while writing :)
Oh please do not think I gave myself an award, even if I did start this one. There is a limit to my vanity. No, it was dear Pacey from Today's Blah that wanted to give this same award back to me as what I gave to her. So I made it as well as received it.
At leats that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Very nice shots, particularly the last one. The streetlight reflections combined with the dim post-sunset orange on the water is riveting.
Awesome shots, I love your header pic as well, great complilation.

Truly stunning..what beautiful timing and the colors are wonderful-
The last photo makes the first top ones all the more special. Nice touch.
Definitely a mood set w/ these photos - I really like these - just the ducks & nobody around to bother them. Very nice captures!

So beautiful as always..so scenic..great shots.
A very nice transition of colors from the sunset to sundown and night time shots, just wonderful.

i love your entries especially the sunset and the beautiful water with the ducks enjoying their swim. so pretty and cute.
Yes, that first one with the orangy sky reflecting off the water is very pretty indeed!! I find that almost mesmerizing! Your pictures are so pretty!
A great series of photos - my very favourite is the almost-night-shot. The colours on the water together with the birds and the little light dots in the back are enchanting.
Beautiful shots! I loved the reflection of the lights on the water after dark!
awesome shots of the water, sunset and the ducks enjoying their swim. so pretty.
Ensimmäinen kuva raitoineen oli kuin lippu graafisilla väreillä. Stonebay...hah hah! Se oli hyvä...:-)
