Last year the field beyond this fence was awash with poppies, so far this year the farmer just seem to have left the verges poppied :(
Flickr has been acting badly for me. People couldn't see my last image on their activity feed and I haven't been able to see everyones. I contacted Flickr people again and they said they are trying to help, but have had no word back saying it's fixed. There was no point in trying to do anything on here yesterday. So I thought I'd try again today, and so far, it looks as though it is visible :)
In case you can't tell, this is a craft knife with a red handle :) Shot with Pentacon AV 80mm f2.8 and 56mm extension tubes.
The knife is lying on silvery bubble wrap.
This title is from the Bryan Adams song from 1983:
bandkeelvink/cut-throat finch/amadina fasciata
Three years ago we saw this bird for the first time in Kruger Park, they are now regular visitors to our garden.
Two males, the female has no red throat...
And no, they were not posing like this, two shots joined....
Union Pacific's Friday-only Potash Local is dwarfed by the massive red rock cut just south of Seven Mile, en route to switch Intrepid Potash at the end of the line.
Y&S 8343 and 1706 navigate one of the numerous rock cuts along the line between Signal and Darlington. 8343 is a former ICG Paducah rebuild GP10 that's been on the railroad for nearly 20 years now.
Planned on bluebell hunting at sunrise yesterday morning in Sherwood Forest where I've seen some lovely images from already this year, hence why I was 100 miles from home at 5am. The forecast looked great for sunrise.
The dog started to limp when I let her out for a toilet break so the bluebells and woodlands were off the cards for the day. Pleased to say she's better today but no ball chasing for a week at least.
It ended up as a morning of reccying locations in this area, which I'm happy to say I found all of. One of which I never would have found without the help of a friendly local who walks his dogs there each morning. I'm never going to get to shoot it in the conditions Steve Cole had simply because of the distance from home but this magical shot of his was the reason I went searching for it.

I realised where I was close to, so I opted for Sawley Cut and Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station at sunrise.
Zero steam from the cooling towers when we first got there. This was taken at 06:07 and the first wisps started to show as people got up to start their day and pop the kettle on.
Coldstone Cut is a landscape sculpture in Nidderdale, North Yorkshire. It is the highest and largest piece of public art / sculpture in Yorkshire, affording spectacular views over the surrounding landscape and the nearby limestone quarry the sculpture overlooks. A visit here is a must for any drone photographer.
A massive intermodal cut for a future BNSF Z Train gets hauled out of Alliance Yard by a pair of unique ITSX EMDs in Haslet, TX. Leading is ITSX #2839, a former SP SD40T-2 downgraded from SD45 specs, and second is ITSX #4027, an EMD SD39. These intermodal terminal servicing crews regularly work around Alliance Yard throughout the day, with multiple sets assigned to intermodal or autorack duties. If you’d asked me what I’d expect to find when I first researched the DFW area before I moved out here, one of the last things I’d ever think I’d see was a tunnel motor taking the point of an intermodal train (7/1/23).
PETER:
I used Mummy Marian's scissors and put them back in the drawer after use and I did not cut the cardboard bear head from the present.
I cut up a picture of me and stuck it on the back of the cardboard bear's head. I think it turned out great!
The cap did not fit on the head, so I pasted it next to it
An eastbound autorack train with UP power cuts through CN Joliet Yard as various power awaits the next assignment. 11/10/15

#macromondays #Familiar
The latest #macromondays challenge #Familiar prompts me to share this picture with you. And this time i went a bit closer. Therefore i used the 1.4x Converter on my XF80.
FYI: What you see is a nailbrush and each string measures 0,16mm thickness. The Scissors of the tiny little helper is about 3-4mm. Size of the visible helper is aprox. 10-12mm.
A nailbrush is a small brush designed specifically for cleaning and scrubbing the fingernails and toenails. It typically has short, stiff bristles that help remove dirt, debris, and bacteria from under the nails and the surrounding areas. Nailbrushes come in various shapes and sizes, but they generally have a compact design that fits comfortably in the hand.
Using a nailbrush is a common practice during personal hygiene routines, especially when washing hands or feet. The bristles help to clean the nails thoroughly and promote good nail health. Nailbrushes are often found in bathrooms and are a handy tool for maintaining cleanliness and hygiene.
Some nailbrushes may have additional features, such as a built-in handle for easier grip, or they may be part of a grooming or manicure set. Overall, nailbrushes are simple yet effective tools for maintaining clean and healthy nails.

The Culebra Cut, also known at the Gaillard Cut), is a narrow 14-kilometer stretch of the Panama Canal through the Continental Divide. Ships must travel single file in one direction.
Working uphill out of the mile -or so- long cut between milepost 23 and 24 of the Cane Creek Branch, the once-a-week Union Pacific Potash Local on this day had 23 loads on the drawbar for the trip back to Grand junction.
The crew will outlaw in a few miles, swapping for a fresh one from Grand Junction at Seven Mile.
A lifespan could be pass along this 36-mile long branch in order to get all the possible angle and point of view it had to offer.
