today I visited the scrapyard again because the weather was quite good. Collected two shopping cards full of hubcaps.

Cheeky day off work, results in toss of coin to either Lakes or Bempton. Heads won, glad it did as conditions were fantastic. Enjoy the series of shots I took.
Watching this tiny bee scramble around collecting pollen was a fun experience. If you zoom in close you can see all the pollen collecting on the bee's legs.
The fisherman, semi-hidden by his hanging net, is beating the net with a paddle to dislodge the small fish from the net. This is scene from the floating village that migrates between Tonle Sap Lake and the Siem Reap River with the monsoon rains.

This little solitary bee has collected a lot of pollen!
Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F11, 1/250, ISO 200) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (2x) + a diffused MT-24EX (both flash heads on Kaiser adjustable flash shoes). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
Technique: I don't know why, but sometimes a bee's metabolism will tank. This flower was in the shade, and maybe the transition from being in the sun to being on the flower was enough to cause the critter's metabolism to drop. But whatever the reason the bee allowed me to get close enough for this shot. Some of you have asked me how close I get to my subjects, and if you look in the lower left corner that's my index finger :)
A couple of weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to be witness to an Australian Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus australis) building a nest.
I stood transfixed and mesmerized watching this bird fly backwards and forwards between the reeds finding material to build its nest.
I noticed it carrying some elongated reed material which it wove between upright-standing reeds then it was collecting this fluffy cotton wool-like material from the tops of the reeds to create a nice fluffy cocoon style nest.
Unfortunately, it had located its nest far enough within the marshy reeds that it was too camouflaged to get a clear shot of it complete; so you'll have to be happy with this image of it collecting the "cotton wool" - hope you like it!
Thanks for any comments, views or favorites for this or any of my images - appreciated!!
Have yet another awesome day and week!!

Hello Dear Mighty Bart my friend!
Hope you and doing well, Haven seen you for ages, then you tuned up at my exhibition with that woman, you mistress...
I found this address on the curly-wirley inter-web, might be an old address...
I no longer work on the hotel in Sweden, but I work at a very special hotel in Denmark, their minimum wage is far above the Swedish, still I like it more, I mean the environment, my boss even showed up drunk at work...
There was some numbers she had to account for so my mid-boss called her in, at the time she was at the pub...
Really cool, another thing, she used to be a baker in Sydhavn, so I have been down her old bakery many times and at five every morning I could hear her bashing of the morning bread, we had the apartment just upstairs from the bakery...
anyhow... if you get this letter, please do rely and I promise that I will draw some new devil-peace-signs on the next envelope...
but until then, here is a page out of my upcoming literary wonder...
Take Care!

...but all other stopped nagging when his voice uttered words in to the air and smoke-filled cramped room...
His Voice reminded a tad bit about Steve Buchemis eyes...
...all the people in the room, felt like their souls was being ransacked by this intruder...
Jimmy could still not cope with his loss of such a good friend, so he couldn´t hear what the man said, but he put the mind-recorder on record so he could replay it later, that is in case he said anything of importance...
...what Jimmy on the other hand could detect by his sensors was that the creatures in the room started to feel angst and uneasy perhaps he should put his emotional turmoil on pause and listen to the intruding freak...
some people were actually straight up petrified...
Jimmy started lo actively listen to the words, but first he had to identify which language he spoke... a quick inner search said that it was Bulgarian with a macedon tint...
...yet another east-european Jimmy thought, could there be a connection?
So I've been collecting custom minifigures since June (and official Lego minifigures for about a year) but before I started my collection i decided to look into the custom scene a bit. There were so many figures out there that it seemed like quite an expensive hobby so i set myself a goal. If i could find between 5-10 figures that I felt i couldn't be without, i would start collecting.
These are those figures and It's taken me these last 6 months to acquire all of them.
Along the way i've discovered other custom makers that I was unaware of such as minifigures.pl and Custom Bricks who i hope to own figures from very shortly and completely new customisers have popped up since I started my collection such as Muddy River figs (Iggs02), Phoenix custom bricks and Brickinator Customs Who are all doing fantastic work.
I've met some great people on here who love collecting as much as i do and i'd like to thank aaclapham especially for being the first person to welcome me into the community when i first set up my Flickr account and for answering all my annoying questions even before that :).
A big thanks to everyone since who has been so kind and welcoming (especially those added) and i look forward to seeing what 2014 has in store for all of us!
This is my 1,000th upload.
I cant believe i have put that many photos on Flickr !
I haven't been out to take any pictures for the last week,
as i haven't been feeling too well, i am better now though, just a cold !
I hope everyone's having a great weekend.

My New Year project is now underway. Studio work...lots of it. I'm using this first-processed Christmas Collectibles image to explain what will be happening. This, for the four or five who will read this.
I anticipate a large number of Christmas items will be photographed. Have already done so with a couple of dozen. I'll process each one to my own individualized standard. Then I'll add them to my photostream so that I can get them into a special album.
Most won't want to look at Christmas images in February and March. I can't upload directly to album though, so must upload to stream. This means that anyone following me will see up to five uploads at a time. Because of that I'll wait until I have quite a number of the photos completed, and then upload all at once. I'll add them to the Christmas Collectibles album, and then batch alter the date taken so that they don't sit at the top of the stream.
There is no need to interact with any of these, and I'm not soliciting comments or faves. It's just the necessary procedure to get the photos into that album for various future uses.
After the Christmas items there will be several more additional categories and types of studio photos, large numbers of each. It is just me doing what I do.
AMTK 184 was painted into Heritage colors in early 2011. Even though it has passed here at least twice before, it managed to elude my camera until now. Here it leads the Boston section of the Lake Shore Limited past the west end of Nevens Yard in Framingham. The white shed at right holds the compressor for yard air.
I didn't think my minifigures were getting the attention they deserved sitting in a box, and it was hard for the kids to find their favorites to play with. My solution was to prototype and build my own wall-mounted display case. It's 31" x 31" in size, holds 300 minifigures, and, at 1,515 pieces, weighs 6 pounds empty.
I envision this to be dynamic artwork, showing the 300 most interesting figures at any given time. I didn't want to enclose the display so that the kids could have easy access to any of our population.
Here, I've found a chair that pays out $L1 if you sit on it for 30 seconds. You'll find these around the grid at places that also use the other money-offering games.
There are a variety of groups you can join in Second Life to make money, however, not all games require a group membership and are available to anyone. I think of the games offered as the current version of "camping," where residents used to stay in a designated area or on a chair in location for a period of time before they could earn some Lindens. Sometimes, camping residents might have to perform a service like scrub a floor, etc.
Property owners purchase the items that distribute Linden money in order to attract visitor traffic to their properties or businesses. The number of visitors is then used to rank these properties in terms of popularity when people use keywords to search for places in Second Life that match keywords in the description of the location.
For me, collecting money through these games helps provide me with an income that I can use in turn to not only buy goods and supplies for myself, but also to use for tipping entertainers and businesses...spreading around the wealth, as they say. Second Life definitely has a diverse economy to support!
