A brief moment of calm before another soaking. Captured last November at a very atmospheric Godrevy. Another great meet up with fellow Flickr friend Dom Haughton and IG's Andy Green.
I’ve finally taken the plunge and moved to a MacBook (ouch)... RIP old laptop…
Thanks very much for viewing, have a great weekend :)
We had stopped to take a sip while we were walking along a mountain river, when this lovely lady appeared from the forest about 100 feet away. She hadn't noticed us right away, but before long she disappeared back into the woods. I didn't have time to switch to the appropriate lens, though. That's why I've cropped the image quite a bit.
Lorsque nous nous sommes arrêtés pour prendre une gorgée en marchant le long d'une rivière de montagne, cette charmante dame est apparue de la forêt à environ 30 mètres. Elle ne nous avait pas remarqué tout de suite, mais peu de temps après, elle a disparu dans les bois. Je n'ai pas eu le temps de passer à l'objectif approprié, cependant. C'est pourquoi j'ai recadré l'image.
A starfish, taken briefly from a starfish nursery, on the mangrove roots, placed on a mirror, reflecting the sky. He is waving at you. Put right back in the water. My attempts to bring the beauty of the clear Key Largo Florida Bay water and the mangrove environment to you.
In first comment below, photograph also of mangrove root, which had naturally broken free and was replaced back in the water right after the photo was taken. It's covered with sponges and all sorts of creatures that grow in the magical mangrove root environment under the water.

A view of what is happening with the gulf oil spill, which threatens creatures like this starfish, from below the surface: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7MD9ldxGgQ Divers went into the water and went diving and filmed what is happening. The dispersants are not working it seems.
Info from the Univ. of Miami, Rosentiel school of marine biology, on the spill and the loop current:

another shot from a morning on holme fell.lovely soft light briefly broke through inbetween showers in front of the langdales.
I went out to hunt some images with the warm, late day sun. I turned around and there were these maple tree seed pods still clinging on to the tree. The light streaming through the "wings" of the seed pods was what caught my eye. I took this one shot and I took an extra second to look at the image to make sure it was in focus and the brief moment of light was gone. The trunk of the tree was blocking the light on the seeds. The moment was over and the scene had changed.
I'm glad I got to see it and record it.

On my way north to Millinocket last Monday I hoped I might be able to get a photo of the Pan Am Railways business train laying over in Portland. Fortunately I had the scanner on while driving and after some radio chatter I realized they were much later than I expected. A few minutes after parking and walking out onto the Fore River Parkway bridge the train came along. They pulled past the Yard 8 west interlocking and shoved into the west leg of the wye and onto what's left of the Commercial Street waterfront trackage to tie up for the night. After a nice chat with well known photographers George Melvin and Shawn Duren, who had followed the train down from Waterville, I was back on the highway headed north.

and so it is...
the summer warmth remains only for a brief moment.
And must be held in mind through a long cold winter time.

A brief history, two examples of former ambulances used around the regions in New South Wales.
(1) The FJ 1956 Holden Panel Van of the TEMORA DISTRICT Ambulance (Unit 1b).
(2) Based of the ZD 1971 Ford Fairlane sedan wheelbase, the MANNING DISTRICT unit running the 302 cubic inch Cleveland V8.
(3) The PAIR looking well kept and loved after serving well.

This immature male Migrant Hawker (Aeshna mixta) made an all-too-brief visit to the garden. One photo and it was away!
Migrant Hawker has a vast range across Europe, even east as far as Japan. It is also now quite a common sight across the southern half of the UK during late summer as its range has expanded both northwards and westwards in recent years. For example, the first record for Ireland only came in 2000.
Tip : If in August and September, you happen to see a relatively small dragonfly hawking for insects in the early evening, it is likely to be a Migrant Hawker. Many other odonata will probably have already settled for the night.
Another shot of the Panthéon in Paris. Wonderful building, full of history! When you are in Paris, a must visit! Taken handheld in three exposures. Processing done with Photomatix Pro 4.0, Photoshop CS5, Topaz Adjust and Nik Software.
Velddrif is situated some 2 km upstream from where the Berg River flows into the ... boat trips are taken up the river to view birds, e.g. flamingoes and pelicans.
We took a short trip to a place where the Harlequin Duck had been seen in the San Francisco Bay Area. This was our second trip for this purpose as the first was unsuccessful. The first day of three we hung out all day with no luck. Second day we did other things but checked back late afternoon. The third day we got up really early and got to the location, got some sunrise shots, and then casually looked around for the Harlequin not really expecting to see him. However, all by himself, there he was! He discovered us at the same time and gave us only a very brief opportunity to get some shots before he joined some of his Surf Scooter buddies way way away. Although he was never visible again, we waited a couple of hours hoping he would return to complete his photo session. He didn’t! This isn’t a great photo but it proves that we saw him.
A brief trip to Ripon, to look at the wet cobbles and Christmas lights. Well, there wasn't much else to do on Sunday evening. My intended location, happened to not have the street lights on, so it was kinda meh, it looks ok in mono, so maybe that'll appear in the future. Lavender Alley on the other hand was transformed from a rather boring brick lined ginnel to the eerie atmospheric passageway. I like it in both colour and mono, so both shots are up.
The Mimosa Pudica flowers profusely but each individual is only a 24 hour delight.
It is the rapid movement to touch that gives it the common name Sensitive Plant but I think more interesting is the folding at dusk and unfolding of the leaves at dawn known as diurnal phototropism and quoted as such widely for the plant. But it is not a response to light levels as the plant exhibits the same periodic change even in full darkness.
The plant has, like us a circadian rhythm, controlled by gene expression, getting a bit deep here so if you want to pursue look here:

This Ruby-crowned kinglet (Corthylio calendula) barely stopped long enough for this portrait. I noticed the movement and followed it for an open shot. I got exactly this one. The Springfield Nature Center rarely disappoints with small birds, getting a clear shot is another thing.
