Happy Birthday to Me! Trying out the new macro - I have so much to learn (perhaps I should actually RTFM!!)
My tribute to Bond Girly. Where to start when you get someone that talented to tribute? Not an easy task for me as I looked through her shots and admired her, her camera work, her children, her dog, her house ..... I almost forgot what I was meant to be doing! Anyhow, I settled on a self portrait because (a) BG does a lot of lovely ones, (b) I don't do very many of them and (c) I noticed the other day just how freckly I am these days.
When I was younger I remember my gran having lots and lots of freckles to the point where they all seemed to merge to give her a pseudo tan. As I have grown older I can see that I've inherited this from her and it's kind of nice actually, an echo down the generations. If I was a model they'd be airbrushed out I'm sure, but I'm not, and I'm more than happy to showcase them!
Another attempt of a reflection photograph taken whilst waiting for my train. I liked the reflection of the lady in the puddle and the legs of another passenger walking by.
“Little Dennis” still guards the entrance to the River Fal, Falmoth, 28th June 2015. The Little Dennis Blockhouse was built as part of the wider defences of Pendennis Castle around 1540. The D-shaped blockhouse is built of stone and had one enclosed gunroom with a timber roof on which there was an upper, open gun platform. The wooden floor has gone but the embrasures for the upper guns remain visible.

The track up from the road to our home on the hill overlooking Drumnadrochit. Tonight we were treated to another good sunset but I decided to venture out with a more conventional camera than recent days late night drone excursions!
Eid is around the corner as we say goodbye to the holy month of Ramadan. It's a blessing indeed. I pray that wherever you are, may you be protected from the evil, and may you be blessed with health. Ameen.
The gate leading down to Dhivach Falls with Roki the Border Collie waiting expectantly to continue on his adventures! The woods near the house are fantastic - one of the most northerly sisal oak forests in the British Isles with trees dripping with lichen. We are pretty lucky to have this just across the field from our front door!
Yes... it is snowing... again!

47165 stands in Platform 3 at Preston having just taken over 1P79 18:05 London Euston - Blackpool North
Out for a run up the valley with Roki (the dog). It wasn't particularly successful as a run mind, but at least it was quite scenic.
The fields of grain south of Muir of Ord and the Cromarty Firth almost glowing green following some rain.
I was rostered as afternoon fireman on British Railways Standard 5 4-6-0 73156 on the first day of the GCR Winter Gala but came in early to help man the Shed Shop in the morning.
This was the scene after I arrived; visiting British Railways Standard 4 2-6-4T tank 80080 was preparing to go off shed coupled up with 73156. They later double-headed the 10.10 to Rothley.
The view from Clunemore this afternoon. The drone controller threw a bit of a wobbly so I could only fly a few meters! Fixed now ready for a (hopefully) busy January....
Please....
28th May 2019:
My back up photo has become my photo for today as I lost my mojo somewhere. Mind you who wouldn't with the sky that colour.
It cheered up later, but my mojo didn't!!
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)

In a couple of days time we will have been looking at this view for a full year, the journey down the track to the village is always spectacular as we catch different glimpses of Drumnadrochit, Glen Coiltie and Loch Ness on the way down the hill.
Standing in the platform at Springburn on the 28th March 1978 waiting departure time with a service to Milngave is “ Glasgow Blue Train” 303053.
Unit History
The electric multiple unit fleet introduced as part of the Glasgow suburban electrification scheme where painted in a light blue livery (commonly called electric blue) and as part of the publicity to promote the services they where dubbed “The Blue Train”. Ninety-one, three-car units were built by Pressed Steel at Linwood near Paisley, from 1959–1961. Initially classified as class AM3 they later became class 303. The two outer carriages of each unit were driving trailers, with an intermediate motor coach containing the motor bogies and electrical equipment. The class was built in two batches; units 303001-035 were built 1959-60 and units 303036-091 were built 1960-61. The units had many features which made them state of the art at the time of their introduction; this included the use of air brakes and pneumatically operated sliding passenger doors. In 1984 British Rail began a major refurbishment programme for fifty of the now twenty five year old units. In the early 1980’s, following a decline in passengers in the Glasgow area, several Class 303s were transferred to North West England and these survived until the mid 1990’s. Most of the un-refurbished units were withdrawn at the end of the 1980s, following the introduction of new Class 320 units on the North Clyde route in 1989 and the surviving forty refurbished units were withdrawn during 2001/02, following the introduction of new Class 334 units. 303053 was one of the units transferred to the North West (Longsight) and was withdrawn circa 1991.

One of my better Moon shots. Zooming in and holding the camera steady is hard. We are pleased with this one.

This is a revisit to Monk's Bridge on Cold Fell in West Cumbria. Last time I photographed it from the other "easy" access side (which just involves scrambling down a steep, grassy slope before dropping onto a rock ledge). This one involves a bit more scrambling and climbing... ideal when there is a deep, fast flowing river to fall into!
Monk's Bridge is thought to be the oldest packhorse bridge in Cumbria and was built for the monks in the nearby Savignian (and then Cicstercian) monastry of Calder Abbey which existed from 1135-1536.
A Malc in his natural environment. He is my neighbours dog who likes to pop down for a bit of fuss when he hears the car!
Also mocking me for failing to make it back up the drive all the way before losing traction! I couldn't be bothered snow socking up to make it the last 3 meters so abandoned the van where it lost the will!
