Contrasting colours of the female and male Eider ducks, South Uist. Eiders were one of my target species I wanted to photograph on my recent trip this year. Having travelled to the Isle a number of times they’ve always proved elusive. I was fortunate on this occasion albeit many hours were spent on the shoreline hunkered down to capture this series on Askernish beach situated along the southern coastline of the island chain.
"Uist" is a group of six islands forming part of the Outer Hebridean Archipelago. Inland is punctuated by an infinite number of fresh water lochs framed by a palette of brilliant white sand and turquoise waters. Unlike some Hebridean islands the coastline is typically deserted and your left to wonder at the diversity of wildlife in perfect solitude.

Looking over the Cheshire plain from Mow Cop. Another archive shot from my Mow Cop collection taken with my old Nikon D80, quite pleased with the colours in this finished shot & I did promise no folly shot for a while!
Sycamore leaf. Backlit with crossed polarized lighting. Main light source: LED screen. Camera accessories: Circular polarising filter; miniature tripod. I think it is remarkable for the range of colours expressed in a single leaf.

Clowns are comic performers who employ slapstick or similar types of physical humour, often in a mime style.
Clowns have a varied tradition with significant variations in costume and performance. The most recognisable modern clown character is theAuguste or "red clown" type, with outlandish costumes featuring distinctive makeup, colourful wigs, exaggerated footwear, and colourful clothing. Their entertainment style is generally designed to entertain large audiences, especially at a distance.
Modern clowns are strongly associated with the tradition of the circus clown, which developed out of earlier comedic roles in theatre or Varietéshows during 19th to mid 20th century.
Many circus clowns have become well known and are a key circus act in their own right. The first mainstream clown role was portrayed byJoseph Grimaldi (who also created the traditional whiteface make-up design). In the early 1800s, he expanded the role of Clown in theharlequinade that formed part of British pantomimes, notably at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane and the Sadler's Wells and Covent Gardentheatres. He became so dominant on the London comic stage that harlequinade Clowns became known as "Joey", and both the nickname and Grimaldi's whiteface make-up design were, and still are, used by other types of clowns.
The comedy that clowns perform is usually in the role of a fool whose everyday actions and tasks become extraordinary—and for whom the ridiculous, for a short while, becomes ordinary. This style of comedy has a long history in many countries and cultures across the world. Some writers have argued that due to the widespread use of such comedy and its long history it is a need that is part of the human condition.
The "fear of clowns", circus clowns in particular as a psychiatric condition has become known by the term coulrophobia
