poppa elk and young one at Yellowstone National Park.
I hope everybody is staying warm! It's been brutal but a warm-up is on its way. Good evening and day to you all.
A final few shots of my friendly juvenile Little Blue Heron adrift on his raft of water hyacinth which had drifted up against a snag in the middle of Horsepen Bayou!! I suspect that high up above was a hawk of some sort which caused him to gaze skyward for a while!! He was most accommodating and relaxed and sat quietly with one foot tucked away!! Not wanting to make any sudden moves to frighten him away I kept my focus on him/her!

Rest and be quiet. This soil is nurtured by a love so invisible it has roots everywhere. Our footsteps in the forest are like a haunting that never heals. Are we but ghosts of fairies?
Time to rest after the old crop is properly filled!
Unlike our White Pelicans out Brown Pelicans are usually quite laid back and fairly approachable! Just some capture of ungainly birds! Taken on Horsepen Bayou!

Visiting Ivatt Class 2MT 2-6-2T tank engine No. 41313 eases into Horsted Keynes station with a rake of four Metropolitan Railway teak livery carriages during the Bluebell heritage railway’s Branch Line Gala on 16 March 2025.
No. 41313 was built in 1952 by British Railways at Crewe. These tank engines were designed for light branch line duties and were renowned for their adaptability and excellent performance on winding routes on the LMS system and other parts of the British Railways network. No. 41313 worked its entire life across the length of the Southern Region, being based at Exmouth Junction, Three Bridges, Faversham, Barnstaple, Brighton and Eastleigh during its BR career.
The locomotive took part in the gala thanks to the Isle of Wight Steam Railway.

This curious feature seems to be a collapsed cavern with Ease Gill tumbling into a pool. I have never seen the pool overflow into the dry river bed where I am standing. Ease Gill is usually dry for a mile or more but when I've seen it with water the source is from a rock face a few hundred yards "downstream" from this oddity of nature.
Lockdown III - day 80 & stage 2 easing +12 days. One of the 4 buskers working on the usual 'approved' pitchs.
Freightliner Class 66 locomotive 66620 eases herself towards Ryecroft Junction at the head of the Earles Sidings to Walsall freight terminal cement tankers.
Easing into my day by enjoying the latest issue of Bella Grace Magazine I've got a big shoot tonight, so this quiet time is much needed before switching gears. Happy Saturday friends!

Little teaser before I put up a small triptych of my new camera :)
I've missed shooting film after selling off my EOS-3 to a fellow flickr user quite funny enough, and as much as I loved the ease and handling of the EOS-3, it was just too bulky and it didn't make sense having a full frame 5d alongside a canon film camera of the same dimensions with the same lenses.
I've been interested in rangefinders for a while, avidly following John Sypal's tokyo camera style tumblr where he always encounters many film users and especially after my friend Chris introduced me with the Epson RD-1s, although digital, I loved the rewind lever and it's incredibly small size and super sharp lenses that made even a 50mm 1.8 look gigantic in comparison! It marvelled me that such a small lens could produce results better than that of my 35L or 85L along with all the new dslr lenses with autofocus and nano crystal coatings and what have you. Beside just the quality of a handmade, full manual lens produced almost 50 years ago, there is just something magical and fun shooting with a rangefinder style camera. No blackout in the viewfinder when taking a picture, overlapping the image in the finder for that perfect focus and composing within frame lines given for a specific lens really makes you think more about composition and I feel like I take more care in taking a single photo instead of when snapping away and checking your results with digital. Mijonju and Kai have talked about this many a time on their inredible and entertaining vlogs and I really understand where they come from after this experience.
I've found my passion again, in picking up my camera to capture memories everyday, which makes me, for lack of a better expression, happy.
I'll talk about the experience with shooting leica in particular and the m5 itself in the next photo, but I think I've rambled on long enough :P
Finished my first roll of portra yesterday and I'll be picking it up tomorrow, so hopefully everything turned out alright! (I have nooo idea if the meter or the lens or body have any issues but waiting and seeing the pictures you took (and many you forgot taking) is something I've missed quite a bit)
Tagged some flickr friends (sorry if you don't like being tagged :P ) who's streams I follow and draw lots of inspiration from that have incredible work and who love to shoot film as well, so I'd be love to hear your experience with it and keep up the amazing work :)
I am grateful for the ease in our days. It means we can take the long way home, he can walk on all the logs he wishes, and then go back to the beginning when he falls.
And I can see something beautiful, and stop to take pictures.
This time costs us money, but I think our lives are all richer for having the time.
A lone ES44DC eases through 30th St. and up to BN Crossing on the KCT with 75 empty gons from a Nucor Steel Bar Mill near Blytheville, AR. This came into town as BNSF train U-HKMKCK0-02T, and at 30th St., it was handed off to the crew of KCTL train Y-309, who took the train into KCT's Mill St. Yard.
On occasions, the KCTL will build 75 car unit trains loaded with scrap from the Advantage Metals Recycling 12th St. Facility that are interchanged with BNSF for the trip to Hickman, AR. The BNSF power will stay at Mill St. over the weekend and be returned home next Monday evening. 4/7/23.

So Friday saw us reach Level 3 of Coronavirus lockdown (it's a good thing for non UK followers) and it felt like the world, her wife, dogs and bicycles were on Leith Hill today.
We have pretty much been 'at home' for the last 3 months and how good was it to get out.
We remain careful and implore others to do the same.
