Although these are very old I have uploaded them for an album that is the backbone of a presentation for Portishead Camera Club. Both images are imperfect and I will be saying why at the presention.
I must tell you this before we move on to matters which have occurred in the village recently.🏡🏡🏡
Just before the lockdown a gentleman knocked at the door to which Horace answered dressed in his butlers outfit (come on what’s strange about this, you would not want to see Horace in the buff) this gentleman asked Horace if he would like to make a donation towards a new community swimming pool being built in a neighbouring parish, so Horace scuttled off and returned with a glass of water.🚰💧🏊♂️🏊♀️
Where were we, yes as has been reported previously, our village is known for its community spirit, some residents have more spirit than others, it just depends on the size of their drinks cabinet.🍷🍷🍷
Though a small village there are many organisations within it, such as, the runner bean growing society, the ladies exhibition drinking team, and of course the newly formed botty coughing club who were going out on tour in 2020, so the lockdown has come as a bit of a blow to them.🍺🍷🍺💨💨💨
However, one of the newer organisations is the bee keeping club who’s Honorary Secretary is Tizzy Talskiddy a founder member of the exhibition drinking team, so as you can imagine, alcohol runs in her veins.🐝🐝🐝
Tizzy felt in these times of lockdown that of a Saturday evening, using the miracles of technology such as Skype, the bee keeping club could hold an on line yard of ale drinking competition (this could get messy)📡⌨️💻
Most members of the bee keeping club are quite extravert so it will come as no surprise they keep quite a few gallons of beer tucked away at home for a rainy day, so they had plenty of ammunition in order to participate in this event.😜🍺🍺🍺
You may be asking, what would be used for the yard glass, as luck would have it Nancy Nancarrow (of Reliant Robin fame) just happens to do a bit of glass blowing on the side and in recognition of the bee keeping club being set up, she made every member a yard glass and engraved their name into it.🚙🍹🍸
I can hear you all saying who would go first for timing purposes etc, well Agnes Penrose (Walter’s wife) had thought of this and had arranged for Horace’s dog Nipper to load up his wheelbarrow with tins of beer and deliver a can and place on each club members driveway.🐶
What the competitors had not realised was that Agnes had vigorously shaken one of the cans, everyone was asked to open their tins together on Skype, you guessed it whoever got sprayed in beer had to go first. 💦💦💦💦💦
You must all try this one night with your family and friends on line, it really is good fun and gets everyone revved up for the evening in these abnormal times.
“Mrs P have you put extra washing powder on the shopping list”.😂😂😂
I will leave you with this thought, Horace wants to do his bit in order to protect the ozone layer. He has decided to stop using spray on deodorant, and bought himself one of the old fashion deodorant sticks. He read the instructions which said “remove cap and push up bottom”.🙈
Thank you so much for looking at my photographs, the comments and banter you leave are so appreciated. Take care and have a lovely weekend.

While feeding, the goshawk got more and more nervous while the buzzard got closer. Really like the pose where it looks exactly 90 degrees upwards.

A 5-day Petanqe competition in Blanes, where hundreds of people took part. The field was beginning to thin out on this the 4th day.
Two male Lucanid beetles (30-32mm long, Prosopocoilus aff. savagnei, Lucanidae) from the dry dense forests of Niaouli (West-Africa, Bénin Republic, July 1998, attracted to lights, dried collection specimens).
Studio work, staged specimens, illustrating competing males.
Focus stack based on 85 images, assembled in Zerene Stacker (Dmap & Pmax). Canon 5D mkii, EF 100mm macro 1:2.8 USM, ISO-100, f/4.5, -0.3step, 1/8s, natural light from a greenhouse, diffused with tracing paper.
Probably the last one this year.
Wish you all a great 2015 ... and lots of photo opportunities.
Here is the famous winner: @mc4photography !!! Go follow his work!
Very well done my friend! This is a great retouch of this photo. I love the light, the nice details, the great sky this is awesome! It is very pleasing to the eyes and it definitely sets the mood.
It was hard for me to only pic one because many of you did great! I will do another competition and I hope you will be part of it. Thanks for all the people who played the game and I hope you had fun retouching this photos.
Have a beautiful day my friends! :-)
Y'all are probably going to tire of bird and beach pics...
I'm stuck here for another week. The soonest "the expert" can see me is a week from today.
A few monarchs left at the enchanted fairy garden in early October. They better hurry - first snow is coming in a couple days!
my booties are made from my own design and are completely hand stitched. i have used michael miller fabrics from the ginger blossom collection - the outer is vintage dots blush and the inner is tortoise plaid. the booties have a 4" long sole with a scallop edge detail using felted blanketing. the straps are finished with a yo yo and a covered button.
Were I to have to thin this bush
With tweezers delicately made
To remove the weakest without
Disturbing the strongest.

My goal with this series is to explore every day scenes under the cover of darkness. A street corner, a lamp post, a doorway. Big city, small town, urban, rural. Man-made light versus nature’s darkness–––light and shadow interpreting minimalist settings in black and white. To see more in this series, check out Cover Of Darkness
The female closest to me did all the work. She used her sensitive antennae to locate a sawfly larva inside the tree trunk. She carefully calculated the exact location to drill into the wood to reach the larva, paralyze it and deliver an egg to it. She is in the drilling stage here. The 2nd female behind her is hoping to harass her enough for her to give up & leave. That way the 2nd female can use the existing hole and deliver her own egg. I read the females will duel with their antennae sometimes when competing for the same egg host. This explains why there were several females on the same tree trunk. Some were drilling into the wood and others were harassing the drilling ones.
