Barbara's wonderful group has been hibernating for a couple of weeks but she's invited me to take it on for a while. It is, in my opinion, the best, high quality colour group in FlickrLand so I'd better not screw it up :-) Excellent images with great use of colour and super composition - that's the aim.
The craving for colour is a natural necessity just as for water and fire. Colour is a raw material indispensable to life. At every era of his existence and his history, the human being has associated colour with his joys, his actions and his pleasures. (Frenand Leger)

UP 8854 is holding on the main at the west end of Rocky. Why is it holding on the main? Because it will be meeting an eastbound oil train that is currently above it, on the main at Eisele (Clay). Usually, the first train to arrive for a meet would take the siding, but in this case, the eastbound will hold the siding at Rocky for the westbound Zephyr. The flag on UP 8854 has definitely seen better days.

Wandering lonely 2. I remember this day. Shannon estuary. Almost totally alone on miles of sand. No footsteps.
Taken a minute ago.
Nothing, just a fun shot... lol
It was a souvenir mug given by her.
Honestly, I don't like it because i don't like her !!!
Why I'm using it?
Well, I'm on diet and using it means losing my appetite.
I feel so bored and lazy right now.

One of several attempts shooting with a jeweller's eye-piece as a lens. I'm sure there were more productive ways of spending an afternoon but I was curious and got interested ... one for Dee.
I recently met, via Flickr, a wonderful woman from Australia that some of you already know. Her name is Bec :-) and yesterday she introduced an exceptional painting by her son, Micah. Micah is a six year old boy with profound autism. Micah's Masterpiece is indeed a masterpiece whether you regard the work as that from a boy with autism, from a six year old or simply from a human being.
Her post yesterday reminded me of a passage in a book I read recently titled The Reason I Jump by author Naoki Higashida. Naoki has high functioning autism. The book offers insight into a bewildering and perplexing condition. I have been waiting for the right moment to post this and Micah’s delightful work reminded me of Naoki’s exceptional work.
The following is an excerpt from his book:
Q45: Why do you enjoy going out for walks so much?
My guess is that lots of people with autism like walking, and I wonder if you can work out why. “Because walking makes you feel good?” “Because it’s great being out in the open air?” Both these replies are true, of course, but for me the number one reason is that us people with autism love the greenness of nature. Now you might be thinking, “Oh, is that all?” However, our fondness for nature is, I think, a little bit different from everyone else’s. I’m guessing that what touches you in nature is the beauty of the trees and the flowers and things. But to us people with special needs, nature is as important as our own lives. The reason is that when we look at nature, we receive a sort of permission to be alive in this world, and our entire bodies get recharged. However often we’re ignored and pushed away by other people, nature will always give us a good big hug, here inside our hearts.
The greenness of nature is the lives of plants and trees. Green is life. And that’s the reason we love to go out for walks.
Thanks for visiting! Most photos are of Mei, my wife and muse.

Sorry for low activity, but I had to go to the sea yesterday. It is so hot in my apartment. I do everything I can to keep the sun and hot air outside, but I have 29 c indoors!!!!!!! :( Outside it is still 30-33 C.
I got a good advice from one of my friends on Flickr to have wet clothes on my body, and plastic on the floor .
Oh what I laughed when I read these tips. I saw in front of me a crazy old lady, with wet dresses, dropping water and leaving a wet mark on the floors where ever she walked.
But I took it a bit easier, have damp, non-dripping towels over my feet when sitting at the computer and a similar towel around the shoulders. This keeps me pretty cool.
Have a nice Friday!!

I would like to wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
Thank you for all the favourites, comments and interesting conversations over the past year, fingers crossed that 2016 will be a great year for Butterflies and Moths.
Apologies for another extended absence. Busy, busy.
I don't do many portraits, really; just helping out Chloe who was up against a yearbook deadline. Charlie came along to 'assist' and provide comic relief. His hour-long stand-up routine won me a bunch of genuine smiles.
Nikkor 135mm F2 DC: This got a little dreamy with the defocus control out of alignment by a few stops. Was that on purpose? Sure okay.
Wishing all a fine weekend ahead...

First outing for my new Nikon 18-200mm lens was in the John Rylands Library. I went for a mosey about the city streets at lunchtime but the heavens opened just as I was passing here so thought why not. Difficult to get something a bit different in there but it's still one of my favourite havens in Manchester.
I have a bit of catching up to do on here...pls bear with me. :-)

You have all been great and you have cheered me up tremendously! LOVE YOU.

(Behind-the-scene: Always wanted to capture something for my dear friend, Mikaela. This morning offered me the best opportunity for it. It was a beautiful early morning, a perfect opener for the day. :)
Today's bird is the bananaquit. They were my favorite. Loved watching these guys flit about during breakfast. Here, one is perched on the back of a chair waiting for a chance to nab a bit of brekkie for himself.

68016 “Fearless” and 68001 “Evolution” head 6K74, DRS’ 1649 Sellafield – Crewe past the old water tower at Sellafield North Siding on 21 April 2021.
I’m not sure if the massive metalwork structure on the left is an art installation or a structure that will one day hang the semaphore arm off Sellafield’s ailing up inner home signal (SD3), as it was erected quite some time ago and the old signal still soldiers on.
Ok, so most of you know the great photographer Machel Spence (I call her the Bokeh Queen!) – well, she and I are good friends and email one another often. When I took my dog Maggie out a couple weeks ago and saw this mushroom with the sun shining on it so beautifully so I ran back in the house and grabbed my camera wondering if I could get a shot half as nice as what she takes – just for fun! I was never going to post it but when I sent it to her privately through email to look at, she loved the shot and said it would be a compliment to her if I would post it!! So, there you have it my friend!
BUT WAIT –
if you want to see the best of the best – go to her stream and also to her ETSY site (both listed below)! Her work is some of the best you will see on Flickr! I think just about every one of her pics makes it in Explore! And you won’t find a better quality of prints and cards out there – I have bought several (just added 2 more to my collection yesterday!!). And to really treat yourself – buy her new book – it’s nothing short of INCREDIBLE!! I bought one for me and one for my daughter for Mother’s day (and signed it from her boys)!! I feel honored to be her friend and to tell you that this little mushroom (my first and last) was inspired by her!! Thanks M for your friendship, your inspiration and for sharing your spectacular work with us.

For someone who's become such an important person in my life lately, it's odd that it's taken almost a year for Polly to make an appearance in my 'This is' project.
Done for Macro Monday, December 16, 2019: Theme: Handmade
This seems to go well for the theme this time of year. My mother-in-law has about 40 nativities, and many of them are handmade. This was my favorite one. This is from Mali, and is carved in ebony (they think.) The detail in it was surprising, but what was more surprising, was how brown it came out when I left the shutter open for an extended period of time (79 seconds).

These cute 3 kids were seen at our local mall, dressed in the same Christmas style PJ's. They were happy with some small treats after having visited Santa, but I'm sure were anxiously waiting for more at Christmas time. The pyjamas had flaps at the back with the inscription "Happy Christmas". The kids were so cute!
I asked if the boys were twins and if I could take this photo of the entire family; there was no objection but I kept my distance for more privacy reasons and to get the entire family group into my frame.
The Imperial Pod Racer
I recently saw a concept for a Tie Racer on instagram. It was cool but essentially it was just 2 massive cylindrical engines stuck to the side of a Tie Fighter. So I decided to take this to it’s natural conclusion. What would an Imperial Pod Racer look like?
The idea was to take the aesthetics of a Tie Fighter, split it up and re-design it for the racing circuit. I figured that with all the resources the empire has they would make something a lot more polished and refined than the junkyard efforts we see in the movie. They’d also use one of their signature designs for it. The centre part of the ‘pod’ is a heavily modified mid-section from a Tie Fighter by Jerac.
