I'd spent a day volunteering , working hard on steep gorse and bracken covered slopes in the Alun Valley doing habitat management for High Brown Fritillary. I didn't have my camera with me , so this is just a quick shot from my iPhone. Typically it had been a day of fantastic sunrise, amazing mackerel skies all day , and as i was walking the two wheel tractor i looked back to see this spectacular sunset. Emerging from gorse is by Half man Half biscuit, and is perfect.

Kootenay National Park. They almost look like plastic.

A little experimentation with a remote flash.

Wonderful to see catkins, buds and blossom on our walk through our local park today!

Spotted Salamanders (Ambystoma maculatum) may be my favorite animal of all time. Each winter I look forward to searching for them and seeing one up close never gets old. After taking pictures of hundreds of individuals over the years, however, I have become a bit bored with photographing them. This has pushed me to approach salamander photography in a new way, looking for unique settings, angles, and compositions to challenge myself to capture something different. I hope to embrace this challenge over the coming weeks and to add some interesting images to my spotted salamander portfolio that help tell the story of this incredible amphibian.

Emerging

These common bonnet (the toque mycena, the common mycena or the rosy-gill fairy helmet) also emerge from the same dead tree trunk.

Wikipedia: Mycena galericulata mushrooms grow mostly in clusters on the well-decayed stumps of deciduous and coniferous trees from spring to autumn. It is common and widespread in the entire temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere, but it has also been reported from Africa. It is quite variable in color, size, and shape, which makes it somewhat difficult to reliably identify in the field.

New on old springs to mind when I saw this freshly emerged Chaser on remains of last summer

This Osprey came up talons empty, but not for lack of trying; it was totally submerged for a moment after it hit the water.

I don't think anyone now really understands the planetisation of mankind, really understands the new world order emerging through all this period of strain and pain and contradiction, so more than ever, we need to have an internal sense of navigation. William Irwin Thompson

happy monday!

Self portrait. Blended two photos together to create this. The self portrait and the ‘room’ which is a three sided room I made out of plywood and then painted. It’s maybe two feet long and maybe a foot tall.
