I followed a Julieanne Kost tutorial the other day and somehow I must have missed a step because it wasn't supposed to be quite like this. One day I will start again but in the meantime I thought I'd keep this anyway, I quite liked it.
These are 10 images of mine, severely cropped after applying 2 blur filters.
DELIGHTFUL bird of wayside habitats, as above the male is colourful and distinctive, outside breeding season, linnets form flocks, and are resident all year round. This was seen on dead bramble, at the Ancient highway, Sandwich bay, Kent, U.K.
Failed to get a more attractive background on this one!

Pescadero State Beach, between Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz, California. My favorite place on the coast.
From my Stuff in the Sand collection.
I could not think of a title for this photograph, so that's the title of this shot of me with my fiancée at the Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia, at sunset.
Once in your life, if you are lucky, you will see a sunrise or sunset that you know will never be surpassed, and you will be aware of this even as you are watching. Neither words nor photographs can express how profound and moving this sunset really was.
For more information on this incredible place please see my prior photo, 'Salar de Illusion'.
Unprocessed - Direct output from the camera. And the camera does not do it justice.

Ready to land after a failed attempt to dive bomb the snow for its prey. The Great Grey Owl loves fence posts for the simple fact it is closer to the mouse. This one was at a weird angle crisscrossing the fence I was standing next to, didn't feel like straddling 4 strands of barbed wire: been there, done that and all I managed to get is a hole in the crotch of my jeans with no shot to show for it. The bone chilling (50km) wind made me shiver as I was standing in the snow bank with a handheld camera waiting for some kind of movement. Meanwhile, the sun was going down stealing the last light of the day. You definitely have to be patient when shooting owls. Although, not the best shot, I do like the way the tail is fanned out and the look on her face as the lucky mouse got away.
somehow it wouldn't be a real roidweek if not at some point during the week an idea started to grow in me. and now i'm sitting here and have done the first step. a mosaic with round frame film. i'm not satisfied and i immediately notice a lot of things i want to do differently next time, but the nice feeling of having stuck the first toe in the cold deep water is spreading through me and i'm already looking forward to the next attempts...
thank you very much for this wonderful roidweek, love you all.

The business on the ends are definitely closed and the cooperative in the middle seems to be. Probably victims of COVID. This is not a terrible neighborhood.
Mean Mugging - To continue with the Bobcat photo dump, here is one of a Bobcat pulling off the quintessential felid paw raise. While this Bobcat looks intimidating, she walked by me as if I were a tree or shrub that didn't even exist. A few memorable Bobcats I have photographed in the past have also behaved like this around me; walking by me as if I wasn't even there. I'm very grateful to have found a young one the past few years that continues this behavior - always nice to be able to watch an animal and document its natural behaviors in such a way. The animal eye autofocus and 20 fps electronic shutter really pulled through here in two ways where DSLRs failed me in the past:
1. Up close, I'd often miss focus on the eye as I wouldn't be able to move the focus point fast enough, resulting in frustrating images with focus on the ear, or rear leg in these direct walking sequences.
2. Because of the slower frame rate I'd miss the best pose in the sequence, which was incredibly frustrating. It can be a bit of a pain to sort through hundreds of thousands of images, but it is awesome to know that the one pose I want is 100% in there somewhere.

After flapping and running along the water for a bit and not getting airborne it gave up and dove under the surface. Must have been embarrassed with a boat load of people watching.

One of the latest electrification projects in Poland, before the communism finally collapsed, was that of the line between Piła and Krzyż, in fact a fragment of famous Ostbahn line. I suppose further plans would enhance the electrification to Gorzów and finally Kostrzyn at the German border, but let's focus on this very part, that would logically close another electrificated parallel connection East - West.
The concept not only materialized on drawing boards, but first works started, and soon ended as the situation in Poland changed rapidly after 1989 and all that remained were these poles installed for catenary, just outside of Piła in direction of Krzyż. Anyway, they were there for several years, as I don't know whether they're sill there.
It's not the end of the story, as the idea comes every couple of years. Actually there're some design works and it's said that thanks to EU funds the electrification, at least from Piła to Krzyż, would take place in the second half of 2020s.
And the picture: SU45-221 with evening regional passenger train no. 3322 from Kostrzyn to Piła Główna, before reaching the terminus. It passes precisely Powodowo Prefabet junction (the switch is just after the last wagon). May 1, 2003.

Jeden z ostatnich jeszcze komunistycznych projektów elektryfikacyjnych dotyczył odcinka Ostbahny między Piłą i Krzyżem, co sensownie uzupełniałoby zelektryfikowany ciąg Kutno - Toruń - Bydgoszcz - Piła - Krzyż i otwierałoby dalsze możliwości nad kontynuacją do Gorzowa i w końcu Kostrzyna.
Projekt wyszedł nawet z fazy projektowej, bowiem znakiem pierwszych prac elektryfikacyjnych są te słupy, widoczne na fotce. Na zdjęciu co prawda widzimy tylko dwa - ostatnie, ale jest ich dużo więcej w kierunku Piły. Jest, albo było, bowiem zdjęcie z 1 maja 2003 roku, a po tym czasie tematu nie zglębiałem, więc może w końcu słupy zdemontowano.
Temat elektryfikacji tego odcinka jest wciąż żywy, aktualnie trwają kolejne fazy projektowe i mówi się, że drut zawiśnie na tym odcinku Ostbahnu jeszcze w drugiej połowie lat 2020.

One wheel of the one lift that gives access to Grands Montets ski resort broke down yesterday.. A bunch of ski tourers (incl. me…) took advantage…
I had high hopes for this Monarch larva to make it to the next stage of metamorphosis, but alas, it ran out of gas I guess and failed to complete the pupa construction. It's a very sad image and I thought hard about posting it, but in the end I guess I wanted to show exactly how challenging, fragile and dear the full life cycle from egg to caterpillar to pupa to butterfly really is. If you need orientation, it's hanging by the butt end. There are still a number of larvae chomping away, and a few have headed up the garage wall to hang in the eves. Honestly, I'll be thrilled if my perfect pupa I posted yesterday makes it.
