This Willet circled and scolded me as I slowly walked the shoreline of Lonetree Lake. I always watch where I step, but this time I was extra careful, as quite likely there was a nest nearby, probably hidden in the grass.
Willets look much prettier in flight, as their striking wing pattern is hidden when they are at rest.

Marbled Godwits were not the only shorebirds that objected to my intrusion along the lake shore - the Willets had something to say about it, too. I found a flat rock to sit on. This Willet flew over and scolded me for several minutes. It's hard to believe that all the shorebirds will be departing on their southbound migration, beginning in about six weeks or less. Their breeding cycle is intense but brief.

Number 2 in the current series of square crops. Think of it as a celebration of square. My first camera - a Kodak Brownie Starflex from 1960 - shot square photos and had a waist level finder. Even though I was happy to make the transition to 35mm and rectangular format four years later, I have always retained a soft spot for the formal dimensions of the square crop. This image of a dandelion in seed was intended to be square from the moment I set up my tripod.
And it's a focus stack. I made 45 shots of the seed head, camera on tripod, slight change of focus for each shot, then combined them. It's a different look from what I've been able to obtain in the past with a single shot. Shooting with a fairly wide f-stop, I had excellent sharpness along the plane of focus, and the 45 separate planes of focus created good depth of field, but not enough to produce confusing background shapes that would disrupt the pattern. Disclaimer: I may sound like I know what I'm talking about, but the truth is I am experimenting with this technique and there's still a lot of guesswork going into it.
The black and white conversion was an afterthought.

Service time for my car at Bristol Street Motors, Ilkeston so as usual I hooked on the back of the car my cycle to ride back home to Toton when I drop the car off. However instead of heading south a slight detour north to the recently opened Bennerley viaduct from which we see Freightliner 70008 heading north up the Erewash Valley in charge of a well loaded 4E91, 02:20 Southampton – Leeds with 66526 in the consist, 20th June 2022
Northern 195013 heading south along the Erewash Valley just south of Ilkeston station working 1Y09, 08:04 Leeds - Nottingham, 20th June 2022. If you look closely there is a small tree/bush growing out of the brickwork at the top of the old mill chimney!!!
AUF DER SUCHE NACH MÖGLICHKEITEN,
MÖGLICHES FESTZUHALTEN (Heinz Gasper 1980)
Als gebürtiger Düsseldorfer hat es mich schon sehr früh in die Ferne gezogen. Frankfurt, München, Wien, Graz und seit 1999 wohnhaft in Jennersdorf, im wunderschönen Südburgenland.
Im ausgeübten Beruf als Werbegestalter und Grafiker (1966-1992) aber auch in der Selbständigkeit (bis 2012) ist die bildende Kunst immer allgegenwärtig gewesen.
Meine Leidenschaft sind Experimente mit verschiedenen Hilfsmitteln und Materialien wie zum Beispiel:
Kurzfilme mit und ohne Kamera - Kodak-Sofortbilder ganz ohne Kamera - Negativstreifen und Dias anders gesehen - PC-Fehler zur kreativen Weiterverarbeitung verwenden - Digitalfotografie und ihre Möglichkeiten mit einem Apple-Computer kombinieren und verfeinern - und bis heute noch vieles mehr entdecken...
Inmiddels is er ook een start gemaakt met het aanbrengen van gele fronten op de FLIRT's. Bij het VIRM is dit nog in volle gang, bij SNG is het afgerond. De 2206 is de eerste FLIRT met geel front. Op de foto is deze met spr 6632 op weg van Dordrecht naar Nijmegen.
Now running with a Siemens consist, VIA 62 from Toronto crosses the Lachine Canal as a couple of dogs go for a walk on the canal.

The power brings up the rear of VIA 22 as it deadheads back to the Montreal Maintenance Centre. An LRC consist will be on VIA towards Quebec City.
