18/07/2022: 2 X 20W actinic trap: Christleton, Chester.
Trapping at home on a night of record-breaking high temperatures. The list below is certainly incomplete because with such overnight heat, many moths were active enough to explode out of the trap as soon as I opened it and few were willing to hang around for a portrait sitting.
I’d never expected to see this exotic-looking moth in my small back garden, although a look at previous Cheshire records confirmed that I should not have been so pessimistic. www.cheshire-moth-charts.co.uk/records.php?taxonid=0swrs1... Nevertheless it was an exciting moment when I found this one clinging to the outside of the trap.

These photos were taken on a recent shoot with Jo-Ann on a farm in Durbanville. It was towards the end of another rainy day in Cape Town, as the sky was starting to clear. I don't think I have ever seen such an interesting cloud formation.
One from the archives I've reworked. Winters on its way in the Northern Hemisphere. Not quite like this here in the UK at the moment but the clocks went back and it was decidedly colder this weekend.
Near my parents' home is a place called George Lake. It is really more of a swamp than a lake with many islands dotted all over it. The water is rather shallow, and this vast realm is home to a great variety of animals. A local senior built a paddle wheeler for the specific purpose of touring George Lake and for the past 8 years he has given anyone who wants to come along tours. He doesn't charge any money for these tours, but he does accept donations for gas money. I have only known about this for the past 3 years and have gone every year since discovering this tour.
This year my aunt and uncle and my mom and I went on a tour with him. It was extremely cold and windy that day, but we wore several layers of warm clothes and winter coats. It was totally worth braving the cold, because that day on our 3 hour expedition we saw eagles, a cow moose with calf, several deer - one with a fawn, many grebes and ducks (with babies), some grebes nests with eggs in them, and beavers everywhere! On a previous expedition in 2009 we saw a bear. So, I have a lot of pictures from that day to post (sometime). Today I thought I would show my best beaver shots. I am very pleased with how they came out. The beavers would "explode" repeatedly so I had plenty of chances to shoot them in action.
This is the last year Steve will be running his paddle wheeler, The Knotty Otter, so I am hoping to get out again on it some time this summer.

Finally the sun, after like 4 days of overcast, this'll probably last a couple and then back to jets overhead.

One of the main features of the Italian Gardens of the Forest Glade Gardens is a magnificent Italian Rococo three tier fountain with horses at its base. It is surrounded by curcular paving which is decorated with two splendid cast-iron urns and four cherub statues representing the four seasons.
The Forest Glade Gardens are well established European inspired landscaped gardens of six hectares that are to be found on the Mount Macedon Road in the hill station town of Mount Macedon.
The Forest Glade Gardens are just shy of one hundred years old. The gardens were originally two adjoining properties that comprised orchards and lush grazing paddocks. In 1941 local family the Newtons purchased and extended the property and set about creating one of Mount Macedon's most stunning gardens.
In 1971 the Forest Glade Gardens were acquired by Melbourne property developer Mr. Cyril Stokes who together with his partner Trevor Neil Bell, developed the gardens even further. Cyril was a great collector of European antiques, and his love of European antiquity is reflected in the gardens, particularly in the many classical marble and bronze statues dotted about the grounds.
Unfortunately the Forest Glade Gardens were partly destroyed by the tragic Ash Wednesday bushfires of 1983. However, after many years of hard labour put in by Cyril and Trevor, The Forest Glade Gardens were reborn from the ashes. The gardens are built on a sloping block and consist of a range of terraces all of which offer wonderful vistas. A garden designed to give pleasure all year round, the Forest Glad Gardens contain several heritage listed trees and are made up of smaller themed gardens including; the Italian Garden, the Japanese Garden, the Daffodil Meadow, the Peony Walk, Hydrangea Hill, the Topiary Gardens, the Bluebell Meadow, the Fern Gully and the Laburnum Arch.
In 2011 the property was gifted to a registered charity - The Stokes Collection Limited - with the intention of keeping the Forest Glade Gardens maintained and open to the public.
I spent a delightful Saturday with the Famous Flickr Five+ Group in Mount Macedon, where I have never been before. Now I have, I would very much like to go back to such a picturesque place again.
The Mount Macedon township is located east of the Mount Macedon summit, which is approximately 60 km north-west of Melbourne.
The name of Mount Macedon is apparently derived from Philip II, who ruled Macedon between 359 and 336BC. The mountain was named by Thomas Mitchell, the New South Wales Surveyor General.
Settled in the 1850s by gold miners and timber cutters, the railway arrived at the Mount Macedon township in 1861, providing a vital connection to Melbourne, and sealing the town's future as a 'hill station' resort for wealthy Melburnians escaping the summer heat in the 1870s. With the land deforested, large blocks were sold and beautiful and extensive gardens were planted around the newly built homes. The rich soil and good rainfall also made the area suitable for large orchards and plant nurseries who could send fruit and flowers back to Melbourne. Newspaper owner, David Syme, built a house, "Rosenheim" in 1869. It was acquired in 1886 for Victorian Governors to use as a country retreat, making Mount Macedon an attractive destination for the well heeled of Melbourne society. A primary school was built in Mount Macedon in 1874, and as the decades progressed, hotels, guest houses, shops, a Presbyterian Church and Church of England were built. In 1983, Mount Macedon was devastated by the Ash Wednesday Bush Fires. A large portion of the town was raised, and a number of lives were lost. However, like a phoenix from the ashes, Mount Macedon has risen and rebuilt. Today it is still a popular holiday destination, particularly during spring time when the well established gardens flourish with flowers and in autumn when the exotic trees explode in a riot of reds and yellows.

TRAIN DERAILED, 4 DEAD, 14 HURT.
SEVERAL CHILDREN ESCAPE AS TRESTLE COLLAPSES -- ENGINE EXPLODES.
Guttenberg, Iowa, Oct. 11. -- (AP) -- Four persons were killed and 14 injured, eight seriously, when a local Milwaukee passenger train leaped the rails and plunged into a creek bed 14 feet below early today.
The dead:
CHARLES STRAZINSKY, 66, engineer, of Dubuque, Iowa.
FRANK MANN, 55, fireman, of Dubuque.
MR. and MRS. WALTER RUPRECHT, passengers, of Dubuque.
Those seriously injured:
GEORGE MESSLING, brakeman, McGregor, Iowa, arm and shoulder crushed when he jumped.
FRANK MERWYN, conductor, Lacrosse, Wis., legs broken and head hurt in leap onto stones.
HARRY NICHOLSON, mail clerk, Bellevue, Iowa, head and hands crushed.
SAMUEL HESS, express messenger, Dubuque, possible internal hurts.
MRS. WILLIAM RIDDLE, Dubuque, chest crushed and internal injuries.
CLAYTUS NELSON, Dubuque, back injury and face lacerated.
WILLIAM E. UEHR, 18, Buena Vista, Iowa, student, arms broken.
LAWRENCE SAYLOR, 17, Buena Vista, neck and jaw injured.
Other passengers hurt included:
EVELYN VAN HORN, 16, Buena Vista, broken collarbone.
her brother, MARION, 16, lacerated by glass.
LOUISE SAYLOR, 15, Buena Vista, head cuts.
GEORGE DEAN, 15, Buena Vista, bruised and cut.
WILLARD CHRIST, 14, Turkey River, nose lacerated.
All are high school students who ride daily to classes in Guttenberg.
A. DAILEY of Dubuque was also slightly injured.
The engineer and fireman rode the engine to their death as it ploughed off the track and rolled 200 feet before dropping into the ditch and overturning. The engine boiler exploded, tearing apart from the cab and scalding the engineer beyond recognition. The fireman was pinioned in his cab and burned.
Riding in the one day coach that made up the train with a combination baggage and mail car, MR. and MRS. RUPRECHT were crushed and the woman was decapitated.
The accident happened as the train rounded a curve at 7:25 a.m., enroute to Guttenburg, where it was due at 7:13 a.m. Members of the crew said the engine lunged away from the track while the tender snapped loosed and imbedded itself in the right-of-way. The two cars continued ahead and piled onto their side near the engine. Both were old-fashioned wood cars and splintered into complete wreckage.
The brakeman and conductor attempted to leap to safety as the coach left the track, but they landed in stone piles along the right-of-way. The rest were trapped in the cars and in the coach passengers were hurled forward in the car as the rear end whipped into the air.
The injured were dragged from the wreck and treated at the scene by those not hurt and Drs. A. E. Beyer, E. B. Rohmberg and William Palmer, who rushed from Guttenberg. Nearby farmers assisted in first aid until arrival of ambulances and surgeons from Dubuque, 33 miles southeast.
Milwaukee railroad officials began an immediate investigation to determine causes for the wreck, but said the track was so badly torn for 30 feet where the engine left the rails that it could not be determined if the rail was damaged before the accident.
Bodies of the victims were not removed during the morning awaiting action of Clayton County Coroner Leslie Oelke.

I hanged the Christmas Ball on string and shot in almost complete dark on it. Fortunately I still was able to hit the catch in the Back, otherwise my complete wall got bullet holes :-)
after a few dozens of shoots, bullets and pictures i got one which i quite like
