Cadair Idris - Minffordd Path
Lovely walk with my sister and her friend back in April. I'm finding the descents are harder on my knees than they used to be, seriously considering getting some walking poles.
A bit of background info:

Great place ,great athmosphere, just a bit..
A bit of an insane scene on the streets of Chinatown when the parade is on. The parade goes down some extremely narrow streets that get to be next level crowded. If I could walk away with even one decent shot the day is a success in my book!

Lily aka ‘Lil-bits (because she's so petite). Under the firebush on a foggy morning pretending she's invisible.
Happy Monday
Practicing more infrared photography. Got to out a little bit earlier to photograph today, but still didn't photograph when the sun is at its highest. Still happy with the results.
Getting the hang with color swapping in post processing then just doing more minute color edits after the swap.
Infrared is fun, becuase I don't know the outcome... It is a surprise.

A bit of a birders' bird is an expression used by keen birders (ie birdwatchers) for a bird that is usually quite rare, but not very attractive or difficult to tell from similar species. So you would never use it for common birds like Rook or Shag, which can be difficult to tell from Crow and Cormorant. Nor would you use it for attractive scarce birds like Hoopoe or Bee-eater. But Water Pipit definitely fits the bill of a "birders' bird" because it is scarce and quite difficult to separate from other pipits.
There are about 400 Water Pipits that spend the winter on British wetlands having bred high in the mountains of southern Europe. But they are shy and elusive and usually difficult to get a close view like this. So how can you tell that this is a Water Pipit as opposed to any other pipit? It has to have a combination of features that uniquely identify it as such. Leg colour is difficult to see in pipits as they are small birds and wander around in vegetation, but you can see here it has dark legs, whereas most pipits have noticeably pale legs, with only Rock and Water Pipits having dark legs. Next it has a pale eyebrow known as a supercilium, which isn't usually shown by Rock Pipit. Its outer tail feathers are pure white whereas they are usually grey in Rock Pipit. It also has whiter underparts and less smudgy breast streaks compared with Rock Pipit. And the lack of dark streaks on the back plus the soft, not crisp black breast marks are features that would separate it from Meadow Pipit (along with leg colour). Habitat is another good pointer as in winter Water Pipits are rarely far from water, and of course the call, a loud "fiist" is a clincher, but it does sound very like Rock Pipit. I photographed this Water Pipit in the Dearne Valley near Barnsley in South Yorkshire. It was trotting along when I took this so you can see one foot raised, a bit like pipit dressage.
this is a handy little screwdriver that holds 5 small bits in the handle. The problem is that the bits don't stay in place. I think they're supposed to be held in by a magnet but it's not working. Can magnets lose their magnetism?

another one from te crazy hangbridge in Garzweiler.
I had to climb a little illigal bit to make this one.
Just a bit saucy this morning

These are bits and pieces of three clematis blossoms that my son donated to my project. He has been so generous by letting me collect flowers from his yard. This entry is 58/100. I am glad I still have a little less than half of my project left. There is still much to explore and discover, I love the whole process.
When I have gone to Heather Farms in Walnut Creek in the past, this Red-shouldered
Hawk, or one that looks like it, never gives me a chance to raise my camera before it takes off. This day I spent, probably over two hours, as it repeatedly posed from tree to tree with me getting within a few feet of it and never looking at me. I finally, feeling 'a bit guilty' of possibly interfering with it's hunt, I decided to leave before getting my flight shot! Okay, I think it looked once and flew over my head!!...lol
Sasha: A bit more kitty than 8 months ago when she came to the Sylvia Beach. Still chill in the lobby. Still playful in that she perked up when she heard me pick up the wand toy, but this time I wasn’t able to convince her to chase it - just catch if it came close. The clerk says she likes you to run around with the toy and she may or may not chase it. She did come to the floor eventually and come say hi, and I could confirm that.
A bit of black and white action in Minnewaska State Park Preserve. Our little weekend getaway trip allowed us to enjoy some badly needed outdoor time and this spot was a highlight.
This image was made in Cornwall this year. I was trying to use the very hard and sharp nature of the rock to juxtapose the soft moving water against it. I find the contrast in these situations appealing; they are almost more than the sum of parts. I also particularly like the dark grey wet rocks texture against the foreground subtle colours. You can even see reds, browns and blues in there. I also like the subtle conditions I found myself in on this sunset shoot and the thin band of light on the horizon is almost understated. Honestly I was hoping for the sun to burst underneath it and illuminate the bottom of the clouds, but even though this didn’t happen I particularly like the contrast between the heavy clouds and stormy sea feel to this image. Anyway, this little part of the coast near Treyarnon bay I know rather well. I must have done about 100 sunsets over the years I’ve been going there, and I never tire of trying to make something new from it. Anyway, it will be interesting to see what you think…
A bit late, but as they say: better late than sorry!
My first try with my new macro-objective turned out pretty well if I my say so :)
A bit more editing with the Flickr editor makes the image more vibrant I think. Do you agree? Which do you prefer this version or the first version?
