There are some insect encounters that I treasure and this is one. I had been taking photographs of flowers in my yard. Walking past our chimney, I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. There, at eye level, was a wasp....and it was moving right towards me.
I quickly changed to manual focus and hoped the shots I was taking would be somewhat clear. I'm sure my heart was beating quickly, yet I tried to hold my breath to steady the camera. This was the last image captured. Whew!
...happy sunday...:-)
...best on black, please...

Amanita muscaria, commonly known as the fly agaric (pronounced /ˈ or fly Amanita (pronounced , is a poisonous and psychoactive basidiomycete fungus, one of many in the genus Amanita. Native throughout the temperate and boreal regions of the Northern Hemisphere, Amanita muscaria has been unintentionally introduced to many countries in the Southern Hemisphere, generally as a symbiont with pine plantations, and is now a true cosmopolitan species. It associates with various deciduous and coniferous trees. The quintessential toadstool, it is a large white-gilled, white-spotted, usually deep red mushroom, one of the most recognizable and widely encountered in popular culture. Several subspecies, with differing cap colour have been recognised to date, including the brown regalis (considered a separate species), the yellow-orange flavivolata, guessowii, and formosa, and the pinkish persicina. Genetic studies published in 2006 and 2008 show several sharply delineated clades which may represent separate species.
Although generally considered poisonous, deaths are extremely rare, and it has been consumed as a food in parts of Europe, Asia, and North America after parboiling in water. Amanita muscaria is now primarily famed for its hallucinogenic properties, with its main psychoactive constituent being the compound muscimol. It was used as an intoxicant and entheogen by the peoples of Siberia and has a religious significance in these cultures. There has been much speculation on traditional use of this mushroom as an intoxicant in places other than Siberia; however, such traditions are far less well-documented.
Collab with my dear friend leanresident who took me back in time :-)
The title for the photo is also the title of a movie from 1945.
What a touching story! <3

Once on the kind of day called “weather breeder,”
When the heat slowly hazes and the sun
By its own power seems to be undone,
I was half boring through, half climbing through
A swamp of cedar. Choked with oil of cedar
And scurf of plants, and weary and over-heated,
And sorry I ever left the road I knew,
I paused and rested on a sort of hook
That had me by the coat as good as seated,
And since there was no other way to look,
Looked up toward heaven, and there against the blue,
Stood over me a resurrected tree,
A tree that had been down and raised again
A barkless spectre. He had halted too,
As if for fear of treading upon me.
I saw the strange position of his hands
Up at his shoulders, dragging yellow strands
Of wire with something in it from men to men.
“You here?” I said. “Where aren’t you nowadays
And what’s the news you carry ––if you know?
And tell me where you’re off for ––Montreal?
Me? I’m not off for anywhere at all.
Sometimes I wander out of beaten ways
Half looking for the orchid Calypso.”

near the Ndutu Marshes while we were returning to the camp
in the southeastern Serengeti in Tanzania
Behind the lions a Hooded Vulture is hardly visible

One of many encounters you watch when you spend time on a meadow with a camera. The insect on top of the flower is probably some sort of hairy hoverfly whereas the one hiding below is a Phasia hemiptera, a tachinid fly species.

A different take on this encounter.
On our last night in the Grand Teton National Park, I had scheduled for us to be at Schwbacher’s Landing at sunset. This was the first location we visited prior to making our way up to Yellowstone NP a few days before. We shot this location at sunrise (I still haven’t posted any of those images) but I really wanted to see what kind of light I would get at this time of day.
I was actually shooting the scene of the mountain range about 30 yards down to the right when I decided I had enough of that spot and that we should head back a little to get a few more compositions from back closer to the trailhead. As we were shooting, a single moose came out of the pine trees and walked all the way to the marsh in front of us (about 20 yards away!) and those amazing sunset rays were peaking over the range.
Snow + Sunrays + Moose = Jackpot! We saw in total five moose on our few days in the park and it really made our trip. This was our first time seeing them in the wild. The others were all males with big antlers over near the Gros Ventre area. That is a story for another day.

A brief encounter with 37403 "Isle of Mull" in platform 2 at Carnforth.......... having rode behind her down from Preston, back in August. 2016.
The film "Brief Encounter" 1945, was based on a one act play of 1936 by Noel Coward, titled "Still Life".........
She glides through her domain, the snow falling softly on her flesh, not melting simply waiting for the soft breeze to caress the snowflakes off her skin. A warm smile is elicited from her lips as a chance encounter brings her before the noble creature of her forest.

A composite, clearly, and a bit of a clumsy one at that... I was looking through old family pics and found a picture of my niece I had taken about 45 years ago. I thought a bit of a different mood might be interesting.....

...driving down a local country lane to capture frost and fog saw these Roe Deer running across a field knowing they would cross this track,so jumped out of the car and quickly took this-very much-grab shot!
You just never know what you are going to see in your backyard. The squirrels use my fence as a highway but traffic stopped when this Green Heron showed up near dusk. So, it's good to have your camera near by. This encounter ended with the Green Heron taking a stab at the squirrel who flipped in the air and then came back for more. Eventually the Green Heron captured a lizard and then left.
