Now I could not decide which image to post so I thought I would do both, I`m sure the seagulls were playing in and out of the waves with the spray being caught by the sun.
Checking on the tomato plants when I spied this unfortunate fellow.
This is a Tobacco Hornworm. A Braconid Wasp has inserted it's it's eggs inside this unfortunate Hookworm. After feeding for 8-10 days on nutrients provided by the still living Hornworm, they burrow out and make these cocoons. After about a week the adult wasp will emerge. At that point the moth larva will die.
Yesterday at the Kamera Börse I was made a sweet offer on a KMZ Horizont. I love the panoramic format and had wanted a Horizont for quite some time so I bought it, with the expectation it would need some clean up and new light seals. Well... the first few frames suggest it's doing just fine. Checking fast shutter speed will have to wait some more clement weather. Oh, and I got a Canon 35mm f/2.8 in new FD mount, another thing I had been after for quite some time.

This was a great experience. I was photographing the ospreys from the Tigertail observation tower and the male osprey flew right in front of me and hovered about 38 yards away as he checked me out!
I'm off to Alaska for a week, best wishes!
Stacks of Lewis II
The Viking "trader" who left the Lewis Chessmen in the nearby sands at Uig must have seen these stacks. The convention is to shoot the Mangersta stacks at sunset during the Summer. Unconventional as I am, I was not interested in the cliffs being illuminated with gold but wanted to see how they looked just after sunrise-in March!

A white-breasted waterhen (amaurornis phoenicurus) checking out the lake margin before entering the water. There is a purpose to this since the lake contains catfish that have been known to take waterfowl. Photographed in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
