this is an older macro from an number of years ago that I never got round to loading up as a single image...better late than never they say...
Pier diving. I left my camera behind, when some locals were diving off the pier in some fantastic light. Luckily, like most these days I had my mobile phone at hand.

Don’t let the nice weather #Fool you…
It is not exactly a summer day at the beach yet…
Water temperature is around 39F, winds are blowing making the air temp feel cool, and the lake is choppy with waves…
But it is a good day for a walk…
It seems the gulls think so too… ;-)
For #FlickrFriday theme of #Fool
Another shot of the very unexpected SEO spot.
I had originally thought it was a barnie silhouetted against the sun.
It was only when I decided to get out of the car and try to get between the bird and the sun that I realised she was something special..
This shot shows the bird in it's natural environment.

Forgotten classic car decaying in a wooded area near tiny Fairhaven,IL. This is one of two abandoned classic cars that have sat here for many years.I don't mean to be judgemental,but it seems pretty foolish to leave these vintage rides to waste away like this....

Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
Another reprocessed image - this one tweaked for more realistic tones and a bit of grain reduction treatment.
In the frame is ETH-fitted Peak no. 45136 heading a rake of Mk1s and the 8.15am Birmingham - Plymouth (1V62) along the sea-wall at Dawlish. It's early Spring and out-of-season so there aren't too many folk around - hardly surprising really given it was pretty bracing and prone to showers that day. But at least the sea, so often a problem along this stretch, was more or less behaving itself.
I was surprised at the extra detail the rework has brought out, not least the ability to read 'The Seacrest' cafe name on the far side of the roundabout. Seems like the Nikkor lens and CT18 combo didn't do so badly. I had a couple of telephotos at the time, a 200mm F4 and a 105mm F2.5, and I'm guessing this was taken with the latter.
I notice what looks to be an Austin Cambridge, Rover 2000, and a Jaguar parked up at the various seafront establishments on Marine Parade - perhaps proof that such places made for profitable undertakings back then?!
I know it's a pretty standard view from the cliff-path but I figured the vintage added a little interest. Best viewed full-screen.
Thanks to 'The Gang of 3' for train info.

Street Artist and reaction, Verona, Veneto, Italy. A photo for 1st April which is April Fool's Day around the world.
This is more of a picture in the making.
Again I didn't realise that I had set the ISO to 1000 when taking this, and I'm still kicking myself over it now.
The idea for this shot is very different to how I want it to be, but here's a little taste of it until I get what I want from this place.
Close up of a bee orchid flower. If you see carefully, the dark part of the flower is shaped and coloured very much like a bee - in particular a female bee. This fools the male bees and they get onto the flower in a futile attempt to mate. This, however, serves the plant's purpose of pollination.
not only we he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too :-)

Macro Mondays theme Iron
Fools gold is a common name given to iron pyrite which is a sulfide mineral of iron. It has a wonderfully lustrous surface which is great at reflecting light.
I had two lights pointing at this nugget, one from the top right and one from the bottom left - to try to minimise the shadows cast by the first light. I quite liked the reflections and colours it produced.
I took this this morning but then ran out of time to post and have been struggling to catch up eversince. Now I can sit down and admire everyone elses lovely images!
The width of frame here is just under 4cm.
Happy Macro Monday! 😊
The temperature when I snapped this image of UP's Tuesday transfer job was +43F, nearly 60 degrees warmer than what I was shooting in Sunday morning. Unseasonably warm days at the front end of winter can lull us into thinking we will have a mild season. The fact my fingers are just now thawing out from this past weekend suggests otherwise. A clipper system will bring a couple inches of snow tomorrow so we will still be in good shape for a white Christmas.
