The lightning was still a few miles away from the airport, but it looks like the tail is being zapped. Which did not happen.

Green Iguanas, the largest lizards in Costa Rica, are normally green but males can turn orange in breeding season to impress the ladies. They prefer to perch on trees above water. If danger approaches they make their escape by diving into the water below. They normally are arboreal with the female climbing to the ground only to lay eggs.

The Met Office issued an amber wind alert - which brought down a few trees up the road from where I live. Storm Henk was quite the worse storm in South Bucks this winter.
All the traffic stopped on the A412 Uxbridge Road from Slough to Uxbridge, which was closed , Tuesday 2nd Jan 2024 around 6pm.
A Tesco lorry had to take evasive action to avoid the fallen trees, near Pinewood hotel, but he ended stuck in mud with no traction on the central reservation, so completely blocking the main road.
My friend Ali a householder opposite my home phoned me and we went up to see what was happening.
The police chatted with me and wanted someone who could use a chainsaw. …so as we both own chainsaws we went back to collect them.
Well there were three or four trees down which we cut into manageable sections to clear the near side lane between Coronation Avenue and Pinewood Hotel.
Two chainsaws working furiously did the trick and an honour to have the road shut while we set to work. The police were working hard too to clear the sawn trees and swept the road clear. Meanwhile the wind and rain from storm Henk was still playing tricks on us and some nerves frayed as to any more trees to blow down on us.
Full credit to the Thames Valley Police Officers who were hard working chaps pulling their weight shifting the cut tree trunks.
There were many many other instances of road blockages in the Thames Valley Police patch so think they are in for a heavy night.
Three quarters of an hour and we cleared the main road of the A412.
Then two huge recovery trucks arrived to pull the unlucky Tesco articulated lorry clear.
The photo is left to right - myself in orange high viz , police officer centre, and Ali on the right, with Pinewood hotel is on the far right in the photo.
A joint effort which got the main road clear.
We declined to go to any other of their shouts, I was nearly out of fuel anyway.

Two strays in Manila, Philippines, keep an alert eye out for approaching dogs and other hazards. The clipped ear tips mean these two have been lucky enough to have been picked up for neutering and inoculation, a service run by volunteers only in this particular part of the city..

An even bigger Water Monitor was close by with his head in the air. It was thrilling to see these up close. I saw one in Bogo once and even the Filipino driving the trike was surprised.
Bela, again.
This was taken with the Yashica C using some old East German Orwo NP22 film that expired in the early 80s. I assume the stippling present is due to the emulsion cracking or something. Developed using Adox ATM 49 developer.
The cheetahs were quite alert. You would be too, if you just saw a bunch of rhinos race by. They must have been wondering what was going on.

I was really lucky to find this squirrel while it was so active around one particular area, burying nuts right next to where I was set up.

They are up in the fields looking for that last bit of winter grain. Very slim but not starving would be my guess. I nearly collided with one such deer on this shoot but at the last moment the deer and I hit the brakes - it was close.
My long range lens on this shot - I am not happy with this lens because the clarity isn't there on my shots or maybe I don't know how to use the lens.

Tree squirrels always seem to be alert. When alarmed, they will make harsh clicking sounds while flicking their tails before running away, making for the nearest tree where they will lie motionless.
