It's a bit of an odd Sunday; I will be gone most of next week, and all I want to do as a result is play with some favorites. This is not a blog post as such. It's an experiment with fun stuff.

A bit of sunshine would have made this a nice shot, always another day though...

A bit of rain falls from a majestic cloud at the Mogollon Rim.
BTW here's my gallery on the pandemic: www.flickr.com/photos/pagedooley/galleries/72157713560199...
A bit late for the holiday season, but presented in the spirit of Santa. A weather-worn Limber Pine anchored in granite clings to the slopes of Grassy Top, with the afternoon sun warming its trunk. I'm not sure of the age of the older trees on this slope, but based on nearby trees that I've cored I'd guess this individual might be a bit over 300 years old.
Getting a bit obsessive with the Nigella which is starting to pod up now. Its seed pods are huge with a promise of the beauty to come next year. I'll need to get them started much earlier than I did this year. To be honest what with the rotten weather and sowing the seeds late I haven't played fair with them. I may just deliver a final insult and finish them off in a salad later. Not nice really.
I use both the flowers & leaves as they're nice and peppery in a salad and will go wonderfully with Queen Olives. Oh yes, indeed they do.
BNSF 4043 leads the H-LAUDEN1-02A south through the soaring cliffs above the Bighorn River in jaw dropping Wind River Canyon.
I had seen this Moss growing on a wall and after a very wet night it looked very fresh is some early morning sunlight.
A bit of a Mary Poppins type shot here but instead of the rooftops of London it is the rooftops of St Ives. I have shot this view from the passenger seat through the open passenger car door window many times. It is a well known beautiful view whenever you are taking the outbound road from St Ives towards Carbis Bay. On this particular day I was stretching my neck as usual to 'grab ' a shot when Jonathan spotted a gap on the road and pulled in and parked for just a couple of minutes. I was enchanted by the little garden foreground left, that being below the view from the car window I had never spotted before and was enchanted by both that and the wonderful view from that vantage point…..
St Ives is a town in Cornwall, England, known for its surf beaches, like Porthmeor, and its art scene. The seafront Tate St Ives gallery has rotating modern art exhibitions, focusing on British artists. Nearby, the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, in the modernist artist’s former studio, displays her bronzes and other works. Boat trips go to Seal Island, just west of town, to see the seal colony….
The large Tower belongs to St Ia's Church, St Ives, is a parish church in the Church of England in St Ives, Cornwall, UK. It is dedicated to Ia of Cornwall, a 5th- or 6th-century Irish saint, and is a Grade I listed building..
Starting to get a bit cooler here so doing what any level-headed beach lover would do today - heading off to Fiji for a holiday. Last time I was in Fiji was 2005 with 3 kids in tow. Now we will be with a granddaughter, how quickly the circle of life turns!
This photo isn't Fiji btw. I was looking to see if I had any Fiji shots to post but I wasn't into photography back then. So here's a shot from New Zealand instead. In my defence we are all South Pacific Islands ;) This photo is of Mt Maunganui, the mount itself and the town nestled under it. It is located in the Bay of Plenty region and connected to the city of Tauranga on the mainland, via a man-made land bridge.
Unfortunately we didn't have time to walk around, or up the Mount as we had to jump a bus to Rotorua where geothermal delights were waiting for us, you know boiling mud pools, toxic sulphur pools, exploding hot water geysers and the like, all the regular stuff ;) Was a great day except for maybe the end where I was one of half a dozen visitors "randomly" selected to get up in front of hundreds of visitors and perform a Haka with some Māori warriors. At least I'm good at pulling faces. Why is it always me?
Anyway, I must get back there one day, and if I do, I'll post a photo from Fiji before I go :)
Bula !
Misty scene at Savernake Forest, Wiltshire
Took another trip to Savernake Forest last weekend as fog/mist was forecast. I decided I'd try a different bit of the forest from where I've been snapping the veteran oak trees. There was a bit of mist around first thing but not as much as was forecast and it seemed to disappear by about 2 hours after sunrise. I had just packed away and was walking back to the car when the sun rose above the the tree canopy and suddenly there were light beams coming through catching a bit of mist that wasn't visible until then. Couldn't pass that up so out came the gear and I snapped away for a few mins. I quite liked this one and although I did take some bracketed shots just in case this is a single exposure.
Thanks for viewing and hope you all have a great day/weekend.

I live about 15 minutes drive from the nearest beach and as sunset approaches I often wish I'd jumped in the car and driven there, but its usually too late when I realise. Yesterday had been overcast all day, but in the late afternoon it cleared a bit, so I went down to the beach in time for once.
Anyone for a good cuppa tea and a little bit of folklore about Baba Yaga? Come have a seat and let the fun begin... *cackles*
Widow's Brew Tea set can be found at The Aardvark Store This would be the perfect addition to your Halloween table.
And which Baba Yaga wouldn't have her faithful Bewitched Cat by Aardvark nearby. Can be found at The Uber from Sept 25 to Oct 22.
This scene was created on a fantastic sim

Presently there is a lovely little competition at Witherwood regarding the story of Baba Yaga. For more information about this, please check out the Frogmore Group notices.

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. His bag says "Doing Our Bit" in relation to recycling I imagine but it is a suitable title for the pandemic too as both my subject and I are wearing masks here. A 'thank you' was shared between us both after I took this. Enjoy!

The last little bit of color as winter takes hold. The colors were enhanced by the rain, which made a lovely picture in an otherwise pretty ordinary view from a window. 20171216WestLakeHillsDxoLr1

Thank you very much my lovely flickr friends for all your kind comments. I wish you a very happy and beautiful weekend and week : ))
Bit of an experimental image that I noticed the other day. Might have to come back to this when I find another web in a more harmonious relationship to its background
Bit of a shock compared to Hampshire but I am lucky enough to be working in Iceland for a week. Heavy snow, then glorious sunshine and then around that corner a snow storm ( or light flurry if you are Icelandic). Prepared to be bored everybody.
Focus stack (50 images) Shot with single off-camera strobe (Godox AD200Pro/XPro II trigger), bare bulb, mounted on overhead boom, bounced off 32 inch white umbrella.
Shot for Macro Mondays - spiral
62 mm (l) x 10 mm (dia)
masonry drill bits differ from normal drill bits in that they have a hardened cutting tip (usually tungsten carbide) that is used to chip/grind hard materials such as masonry, brick or stone rather than cut through the material. The deeply fluted spiral shape that of the bit helps to remove dust and debris from the hole that is formed. Masonry bits are tippically used in hammer drills that use a combination of percussion and rotation to create a hole of the desired dimension
Given the Beauty of this Flower and its Visitor, clearly the Devil lost! The ancient story goes that the vernacular name of Succisella inflexa, Southern Devil's Bit (Morsus diaboli), goes back on the enmity between the Devil and Beneficial Nature. Our Scabious once in the dawn of humanity was a Heal-All, much to the dismay of the Devil who sought only anguish for humankind. Out of pure spite he bit off the main part of Scabious's root - regard its shallow rooting today - hoping the plant would die. Hence 'Devil's Bit'. Of course, Succisella didn't die but it did lose its healing powers. In compensation it remained attractive and beautiful, full of Plenty for myriad insects among which Butterflies and also this marvelous Hoverfly.
Belted Flyer. Volucella zonaria, by the standard of Hoverfly sizes, is very large; it measures about 2.5 cm (=almost an inch) compared to the 2-3 mm (.09 inch) of the smallest ones. And Zonaria's color is striking as well, very orange-yellow, mimicking a Hornet. So often it's called the Hornet Hoverfly. Entirely harmless, though; not a devil at all in her!
