Just going through some shots that I haven't put up yet. I liked this one of some reason...I think I was just playing around with my 50mm lens.
A bit of a failed experiment here. We walked so far to get to the waterfall, but facing a hairy descent, Jules and Antonio decided to turn back. That was a good decision, as the going got very, very hairy thereafter. By the time I'd clambered to the falls, it was actually a bit disappointing, and I'd really scared myself with some of the journey on my own with no phone signal. As such,, I tried my hardest to get a composition and do it justice, so this is a stitch of 32, yes 32, images to try to get a shot worthy of the adventure I'd inadvertently set myself. It'll do I guess...

These are bits from a tiny screwdriver set used for working on electronics. That makes this photo a macro, as well.

in Berkeley, where there mostly is very little. This is the edge of a private club where they have planted special trees in keeping with a lovely environment. It borders the street, so we can all benefit!!

70020 was in charge of 6G65 Earles to Walsall loaded cement tanks. It's the first time I've seen the tangoed 70 and in the sun it was certainly standout....just south of Dronfield.
A bit torn and tattered Monarch butterfly resting on a hydrangea flower. I'm seeing many more Monarch butterflies this year than in recent years. I have many native plants that I planted specifically for the butterflies, and it seems that my efforts are not in vain. Backyard photography.

Been away a bit.
Baffled how it happened but the Monday after Christmas began coughing. Started as a tickle. Then turned croup like. Was able to get to urgent care that Thursday and a rapid test was positive for covid.
Because of my recent cancers I qualified for the myoclonal antibody treatment. Felt remarkably better for a bit.
But this sure has been a roller coaster.
I feel so bad for the unvaccinated. If I've been this awful after three Pfizers, I can't imagine surviving without having been vaxxed.
I had been given Prednisone for the croup/bronchial inflammation which I didn't start taking until I lost the sense of smell. Surprisingly the sense came back after two days.
A week after I showed symptoms, Kim showed, but hers were very different. She had severe nausea and headache. She hasn't had the respiratory involvement, but her test this past week was also positive. She's on the recovery roller coaster too.
Sometimes we feel some better, then it all hits again.
Been using our large gym ball to lie over. Way back at the beginning of the pandemic a bunch of us who had been Physical Therapists had talked about the importance of lying prone and the importance of postural drainage, which we used to do for patients in the hospital before Respiratory Therapy took it over.
Lying on one's chest on the ball supports the diaphragm and makes coughing more comfortable. Pushing forward to get the head low and butt high will help get secretions moving and excreted. Plus rolling on the ball is very good for the back.
I suppose my involvement here at Flickr will be a bit spotty for awhile yet. Hope everyone stays well.
This has been baffling. We've been masked whenever we've left the house. Kim goes to work but since she showed symptoms after me, I'm the likely one to have given it to her. In the week before showing symptoms I'd been once to the grocery store. And I've always double masked. I've always brought along my alcohol spray bottle to spray down the shopping carts.
One thing we haven't kept up is the wiping down of the grocery items before bringing them into the house. And we haven't been wiping down the Amazon packages that get delivered. But that method of transference has always been very low on the list. Being unmasked in a closed space has always been the chief method of transmission.
Go figure.
A bit of a blurred shot, but with the end of Metrobus operation by National Express West Midlands imminent, thought I'd fetch this out of the junk pile, as it's the only shot I've got of an Acocks Green Metro in service.
Nice paint match on the replacement panels. you can see why the silver livery was dropped!
A bit south of Carmel-By-The-Sea along the California coast is a tiny valley covered in lily flowers in late winter and early spring. We went there for sunset. A small creek flows into the Pacific Ocean, forming ever changing tiny valleys and hills with ripples. I froze the action with a very short exposure time.
I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

After so much city it's now time for a bit more nature. How about a walk at the beautiful and almost unpeopled beach of Praia do Areão ?
I have a special connection to that photo, because during the last ten minutes this small dog, what is now in dialogue with it's pack leader did not leave my side. I had the impression, that he wanted to go with me absolutely. We were already a fair way off the others and I just brought him back to his pack. Now they seem to talk out that behaviour.
I just realised, that today is wild dog day. What a coincidence, that I decided for that post this morning.
Nach so viel Stadt ist es nun Zeit für etwas Natur. Wie wäre es mit einem Spaziergang am wunderschönen und fast menschenleeren Strand von Praia do Areão ?
Mit diesem Bild habe ich eine besondere Verbindung, da mir der kleine Hund, hier gerade im Gespräch mit seinem Rudelführer, die letzten 10 Minuten kaum von meiner Seite gewichen ist. Ich hatte den Eindruck, er wolle unbedingt mit mir mitkommen. Wir hatten uns schon ziemlich weit von den anderen entfernt und gerade hab ich ihn zurück zum Rudel gebracht. Jetzt wird das Verhalten wohl gerade ausdiskutiert.
Ich habe gerade realisiert, dass heute Welt Hunde Tag ist. Was für ein Zufall, dass ich mich heute früh gerade für dieses Foto entschieden habe.

Did some long overdue birdwatching over the weekend, so will be "taking a break" from the arboretum pics before resuming again.
Spotted this male Northern Cardinal at the "Blazing Hot Blend" feeder - pepper treated seeds to deter the squirrels and seems to work, too. Mr Cardinal is looking a bit ragged but not sure if it's due to the stress from parenting or because of the extremely hot weather we've had in our area lately? Or something else completely different?
** Mind you, our hot weather is nothing like some other areas are experiencing but still - hot for our area! And no doubt the heat affects wildlife regardless of where they are located.

Bit of folder cleaning tonight found this unfinished vertorama .. well until now at least...
This was a cracker of an arvo at Boonerah Point on Anzac day this year.

....... a little bit poetic ? It could be, but this moment demanded more than “Sunset” as a title.
After hours of waiting and having almost given up hope of seeing red deer on this almost last period of the "Rut", a large group of red deer appeared near the Reemsterweg. According to bystanders, it must have been at least 40 hinds with 3 antler-bearers. Things were peaceful, the hierarchy had been restored in the herd and the “prizes” divided. Despite the large distance to the herd, I managed to make a good impression of this beautiful and impressive spectacle. A beautiful sunset with an even more beautiful herd of red deer on the Hoge Veluwe.
It was the moment that counted, so beautiful so peaceful ........... Noise in the picture ? Not in my memory of this moment , I just look through that ! Regards Rens
Zauberhafte Strände prägen Sri Lanka im Süden des Landes. Bei einem unserer zahlreichen Strandspaziergänge kam uns dieser Strandfahrer mit seinem Moped entgegen.
Bei unserer Rundreise durch Sri Lanka haben wir unser Reiseherz an die liebenswerte Insel verloren.

A record shot of these Lasioglossum sp. bees engaging in a bit of bee passion! From the quality of the shot I don't think it's possible to identify them properly, but I think they may be Common Green Furrow Bees, also known as Brassy Mining Bees (Lasioglossum morio). Seen on our evening walk in Ipswich yesterday.
Fast forwarding a bit to a scene from a future series from my recent trip to St. Simons Island, Georgia. Here, I came across a tall man made of silver. He is known in the Flickrland as the littletinperson (not "little in person" as once believed). The clouds were perilous and the sun was threatening to drown. As soon as he pulled out his mysterios black box of Nikon, the sun split through the clouds and shined tall and wide. As tall and wide as the breadth of his experiences. He is the tallest man up in front of the scene (with the help of a bit of perspective exageration). I decided to go free of tripod along with him on this shot. It was a wonderful vacation and great meetup. His stories can be found at:
So swing over and give him a visit. Listen to the stories and learn.
Great Crested Grebe yesterday.. yes, I was out there photographing in the cold with the possibility of rain... a hardened photographer...
a good crop in to show off his beauty
Bit of a bad boy looks with NX-Nardcotix David mesh body. Check out my blog for the deets: billybeaverhausen.com/2020/02/09/shopping-for-david/
A bit of a dark and gloomy official beginning to winter. I went out with the hope of capturing a solstice sunset - willing the clouds to part even for a few minutes. Behind me there were patches of blue sky but to the south-west were unrelenting grey clouds. I also wanted to have another go at photographing the "great conjunction" of Jupiter and Saturn just after sunset, but it looks like I might have to wait another 400 years for that to happen.
I did see a report of Stonehenge live-streaming the sunset to sunrise as no-one was allowed into the site this year (not that I would have gone anyway). I suppose watching a black computer screen for 16 hours from your couch is going to be much more comfortable than being there!

As 66704 sits while its train is loaded at Arcow Quarry, 66760 heads south on the S&C with its train from the Quarry.
66704 has worked into the Quarry on 6M31 from Hexthorpe and is having its first part of the train loaded. 66760 is working 6M38, Arcow Quarry to Bredbury, with its loaded train after running to Blea Moor to run round its train.
14th September 2017 at 1255, nice to be able to photograph to Freights at once on the S&C
