light rain overnight mixed with the lingering volcano/burning-moss haze, so everything smells faintly of campfire
Female Zebra Finch thinks this is a nice spot to visit.
It's good to have a reliable source of clean water just a short flight in from the arid surrounds of Port Augusta.
Wet paeony bud.
Well, it must be at least a week since I last published an image of a wet paeony. Too long, anyway :)
This is for the Wednesday Macro group. The bud is about an inch across I guess.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image :)
We haven't seen any evidence of Pine Martens visiting for at least 2 months and then a short wihile after our son, daughter-in-law and grandkids arrived from England this afternoon this furry critter put in an appearance at the squirrel feeder in the back garden.
The rain eventually arrived early yesterday evening after no rain for the last three months. There were thunderstorms rattling around the area all afternoon and we thought they'd miss us but our patience paid off as we had a massive thunderstorm early evening and the heavens opened. So exciting (I get easily excited...)! We decided to get up and out for a walk earlier than usual this morning to take advantage of the fresher weather which has arrived following the thunderstorms and so we could discover a different wood next to a nearby village. Bob preferred this new wood and I must admit it was much better than our previous place (the one with a view to the monastery). The dampness was all pervading and gave off a beautiful pungent aroma of a mix of eucalyptus, pine, thyme and rosemary.
Another reason we gave the previous place for a walk a miss is because it's a public holiday in France today to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption (this 'marks the occasion of the Virgin Mary's bodily ascent to heaven at the end of her life') so because of the religious connotations we thought there might be pilgrims in the area we usually walk as it's a bit of a pilgrimage area walking between St Joseph's Monastery and the Shrine of Our Lady of Graces (church)
Happy Monday and have a great week ahead!

CN 2781 makes it's way along the first few miles of the Yale Subdivision as it passes a moss covered embankment south of Boston Bar, BC.
I have such an epic bruise on my ankle. It's the most impressed bruise I have experienced, even better than one's sustained during my roller derby days! Thanks for all your well wishes, much appreciated!
Here's some iPhone dew-on-spider-web goodness :D
Thankfully one container was loaded towards the front of 4M57 Mossend to Hams Hall meaning the resulting shot doesn't just look like a light engine. 66716 Locomotive and Carriage Institution Centenary 1911 rumbles through Water Orton with the remnants of the previoous days torrential rain evident.

Another shot of the amazing wreck The Hans Egede. This is breathtaking to see in real life. The wreck looks quite tiny in this shot, but when you are standing next to it, its about 15 ft tall!!!
Its quite a treck on foot, but so worth it!! Hope you all enjoy viewing as much as I did snapping! :)
A brief sunny interlude bleaches the park surface during an otherwise indifferent summer, at Duthie Park.
The abandoned Helensburgh Metropolitan railway tunnel (1888-1915) often fills with water after heavy rain - like it has been doing for the past two weeks.
Yes Evie, after weeks of heat and dry, we finally have some much needed rain showers. The thunder yesterday evening was less welcome, she was stressed out :(
I love the expression on Evie's face and those eyes :) We got a bit damp this morning, but its sunny & breezy now, although much cooler than of late, we will all be able to sleep better now & be less exhausted :)
It was a generally dull, damp, grey day today but it didn't stop the squirrels coming to the garden to entertain us. This one was keeping a close eye on me while it occupied the hidden peanut feeder.
It's safe to say Vancouver is known for its damp, very rainy climate and infamous for subsequent problems of buildings rotting beneath damp, mold and mildew, of which this is a prime example. But never have I literally seen the paint bubbling up and drooping under the weight of so much moisture to the extent that, as you can see, plants are literally growing out of it. These windows are 3 and 4 storeys up and I can bet the people living here must surely be encountering health problems. This is gross. (Zoom in for a better look.)

On a damp and dark day, Portland & Western's Toledo Hauler pounds upgrade near Nashville, Oregon. Leading the Hauler is an interesting GP40P-2 (slug mother), RP-E4D (slug), GP39-2, RP-E4D, GP40P-2 consist. Check out the assorted plant life accumulating on the tops of the locomotives.
Some much needed rain, weighing down this dandelion, with its head almost touching the ground. Taken with a DA 35mm Macro on a cropped K-1.
Paeony.
Last week it rained. Then it rained again. Then there was a shower. Then a downpour. Then it rained… followed by drizzle for a bit. Then it rained.
Oh, and there was a thunderstorm somewhere in that lot.
(Don’t you just love it that the English language has so many words for rain, one for snow, and no verb for sunshine. Says something.)
According to my digital asset manager thingie, I took over 1,200 images in the last couple of weeks. Almost all were of wet paeonies (and I obstinately refuse to spell them peonies… because... well, I’m awkward... and I can’t spell... proper, like.)
There is absolutely no rational explanation for taking 1,200 image of wet paeonies. I fear the next therapy session with my psychiatrist…
Some paeony images were wet. Some were just soggy. And some were drenched… So, variety then.
This image wasn’t taken for Macro Mondays I regret to say, but it fitted the requirements and it’s the only way I’ll take part this week. So we’ll have to put a brave face on it :) Or my usual rictus :)
It was also a real pain to process. This is attempt number two… So much for a quick submission then.
I'd like to say thank you to Agnieszka KJóźwiak for inspiring me with this sort of style - I just had to try it :)
It was less than an inch and a half across I guess (so ok then - yey!), and lots of curves, circles and bendy bits :)
If you are in the mood you can play spot the selfie with this one, by the way. There are several :)
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image before it goes mouldy. Happy Macro Mondays!
[Handheld in daylight.
Developed in Capture One from a raw image, with a lot of messing about with tones (I wanted the image darkish to add interest), and some colour tweaking.
Processed in Affinity Photo.
Curves for light and colour emphasis.
Reduced Vibrance.
Dropped shadows and moderated highlights.
Warmed colour temperature a tad.
Sharpened with Unsharp mask.
I then wanted to add a soft focus effect so I duplicated the result so far, twice. The middle copy I softened with Gaussian blur, Lighten blend and low opacity. The top copy I blended with Darken at reduced opacity.
16:9 widescreen crop (my favourite) with the curvy action on the right third and the inflexion half way up.
Dark vignette.
Gave up (always the most important step ;) ).]
I took a short trip to Glen Affric today to see the autumn colours. The birches and bracken were amazing, they just lacked a little bit of light to show them at their best; instead it was a dull, drizzly, grey old day.
I still enjoyed myself, it was great to be out and about!
One of my favourite things to photograph. I didn't expect a damp foggy morning and cobwebs at the beginning of August though!
