Carlin Park, Jupiter, FL
After a "cold" front had moved through South Florida Friday the weather forecast called for clear skies Saturday morning. Not really ideal for a sunrise shoot. But when I woke up at 4:20 am and checked the weather it was quite overcast and the forecast reported mostly to partly cloudy for the morning in the Jupiter area. So off I went at 4:45 am.
I should've left earlier, because by the time I got to the park it was already pretty light. The reason being I had to made a detour on A1A because the road was closed at Juno for an art festival and they couldn't announce that any sooner. No, why give anyone the heads up. Let them drive all the way up to the roadblock. Sheesh... So I got stuck there and had to go back to US-1, which cost some time.
And then the rocks I normally shoot were pretty much covered by sand and the waves kept washing over them. What happened to the outgoing tide? And low tide was supposed to be an hour or so after sunrise? I saw some rocks further up the beach and decided to check those out, doing so, lost more time.
By the time I set up I only managed to take one or two longish exposures, this is one of them. For the second one I already had to break out the GND filter to not blow out the sky.
Oh, and all those clouds? They disappeared by sunrise. Poof! Gone!
There are few things that go together better than backpacking by yourself and photography. There are precious few chores to be done up in the mountains, only setting up camp, sometimes gathering a little firewood, and cooking something to eat. With no one else around, there isn't much to do except wait for things to be right...something that can be tough if you have somewhere else to be like back at the car before dark.
I had to wait a long time for this shot, and under some rather unpleasant conditions too. The clouds were flying past at about 35 mph and the wind was right in my face. I know the weather can be unpredictable no matter what time of year on a "sixer" but this was a little surprising for June. I had on a light base layer, shirt/pants, Monkey-man jacket, hat with ear flaps, and gloves and it was still cold standing here. I guess I was here an hour and probably 45 minutes of that time featured the sun blocked by clouds and the foreground area in the shadows. Good thing I didn't have to be anywhere.
I had plenty of time to look around and determined that this was the best spot from Grassy Ridge for a sunset composition that included some rhododendron. The taller Roan Mountain that would be just left and fairly close throws out a huge black shadow that wouldn't be good in a photo, so vast areas of foreground real estate are pretty much off-limits. The mountain layers here are nice and get really defined as the sun nears the horizon.
I had planned on being here a few days and I'm sure the conditions were great at times Sunday and Monday. I had the entire mountain of Grassy Ridge Bald to myself on a Saturday night with the rhododendron in bloom! That will never happen again. Maybe everyone else knew something I didn't. The weather forecast wasn't anything special but the reality was overnight temps down in the low 40's with a steady hard wind with gusts that had to be 45 mph, wasn't fun for long. I barely had the gear to stay warm and built a really large fire after standing around taking pictures. I had been on the sheltered side of the mountain at dusk but that changed sometime during the night. I thought the tent was going to blow over and go tumbling with me and Turbo in it a few times. The pounding made it hard to sleep and despite no noisy people around partying, some moron down in the valley that had been shooting all evening carried that on sporadically until midnight I guess. Not single shots either, unloading the whole magazine rapid fire. I bet the neighbors love that fool! NOBODY else can root out this type as consistently as me on a trip somewhere.
So after some rather disappointing conditions with the never ending and always increasing wind, the clouds came in Sunday morning and it started raining. I'd had enough and the mountain ran me off. Did make use of the crappy sky on the way home stopped at a really great waterfall spot in Tennessee for some pictures there.
Weather sweeps in from the south west, looks as though our couple of fine days is coming to an end, the next week is forecast to be windy and wet at times.

With sunset forecast at 20:29 , the evening 4L60 19:46 departure from Garston FLT to Felixstowe was already going to be a struggle with the light. Adding to the problems the service left Garston 36 mins late and the sun had officially set at the point of passing me here at Halebank. With the ISO turned up and everything crossed I stuck around in hope anyway. 86637 has replaced 86607 on this diagram, 86632 remains but is now tucked in.
Wednesday, 21 October 2020: our temperature at 10:30 am is -4C (windchill -11C). Forecast to get up to -2C this afternoon. Overcast. Sunrise is at 8:11 am and sunset is at 6:29 pm.
Yesterday was a beautiful, sunny day. though cold enough for two fleece jackets, rain jacket and long-johns. I decided to join a small group of friends, all wearing masks, for a walk from Bebo Grove to Shannon Terrace in Fish Creek Park and back to Bebo. A very quiet day bird-wise, and the only photo I ended up with is the bridge photo. My walk started with a painful left knee and ended with an extremely painful knee. Frustrating.
On the way home, I made a quick stop at Glenmore Reservoir by the Sailing Club. Any birds are usually way out in the middle of the Reservoir or closer to the far shore. I was not expecting any birds close enough to photograph, but one can always hope. There were the usual Coots and a few small Buffleheads, gleaming white in contrast to the black of the Coots. They look black and white birds until you see one closer and in the 'right' light. Then, the mix of iridescent colors on the head and around the neck look beautiful. In the middle of the Reservoir was one lone Tundra Swan cygnet. No ice yet, but no doubt it will start to form before too long.
Thursday, 19 December 2019: our temperature this morning is 2C (windchill -1C), with snow forecast for Saturday and Sunday. Another week, and we will have had winter weather for the last three months - and it is still fall!
This morning, I posted the last nine photos taken on 15 December 2019, when my daughter and I had a great day out together with our cameras. This was our Christmas get-together.
My daughter and I had planned, as usual, to drive to The Saskatoon Farm, south of the city. A good, filling breakfast was our first priority there - great food as always. This was the second of two weekends of their Christmas Market, and what a wonderful feeling it was. So popular with so many people, but everything was spread out, so you didn't feel crushed by crowds. There were vendors inside and outdoors, in the sheds, the greenhouses and inside the main building, too. All sorts of food items, fresh or frozen, to buy and enjoy later at home - pies, scones, soups, and so on. Chestnuts roasting, and marshmallows browning over the welcome open fires.
Once we were happily fed, and we had done a little shopping and taken a few photos, my daughter suggested going a little further south and then cutting across eastwards and then going north until we were east of the city. This was totally unexpected by me, so it was a lovely surprise. The scenery was pure white (with blue shadows) in every direction, with the occasional old barn or shed.
My daughter was hoping to find a Snowy Owl, just like she did on our last trip together and, once again, she spotted one. Like last time, this one was way out in a white field, but we managed to get a few zoomed-in shots. We also saw a Great Horned Owl, so it was nice to see two different species. Unfortunately, of course, it gets dark so early and I needed to get back to the city and home before darkness fell. No time to drive the backroads searching for more Snowies this time.
Thanks, Rachel, for another lovely day out in the countryside. Always my favourite way to spend a day with my daughter.
some very short star trails thanks to the nightly dew. you need 3 things to get a good night shot - little or no moon, no clouds and no dew. getting all 3 on the same night are rare. the first two are the easiest to anticipate based on weather forecasts. dew is something out of my control, thus making the shooting cycle minimal.
Partly cloudy.
High (80%) chance of showers, becoming less likely later tonight.
A thunderstorm likely, possibly severe with the risk of damaging wind gusts, large hail and heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding.
Winds northeasterly 20 to 30 km/h becoming light in the evening.
That lovely combination of rain/sleet followed by a forecast freeze tonight. Gritting the path was required.

Despite a forecast for rain, we woke up once again to the sunshine beaming in through our bedroom window. Thus, after having a fantastic breakfast and relaxing for a while around our home, my wife and I went to Hatley Castle to enjoy a walk around the gardens. I took this photo shortly after getting out of my car, before heading into the gardens.
Previously,
Luckily, the weather forecast for the day before yesterday, 11 June 2021, was good, as I just had to escape from the banging and drilling noise that is created by the workmen still repairing my building. On top of that, there was additional banging and drilling as a different repair company came to my neighbours' homes to start repairs on ceiling damage caused by a leaking dishwasher. Most unfortunate for both families! Walls are thin enough that noise from one home is heard in others. Anyway, I had a great day out, quiet and rewarding. Sunny, but the wind increased as the day went on and the further south I travelled. A total of 254 km driven this day.
All the roads were ones that I had driven before, apart from one short back road. Bird sightings made for a great day, even though they were all familiar species. A Red-winged Blackbird - surprise, surprise! - was the first bird to be seen, followed by three Wilson's Snipe, all perched on fence posts.
A Bobolink was one of the highlights of the day for me. Perched on a fence post, singing its little heart out, it gave me a chance to take a short video. Of course, the bird would have to land on a fence post (seen in the video) that had rather annoying, long blades of grass across its face, ha. I didn't want to restart my car and reverse to get a slightly better view, in case the bird flew. Hearing their song is such a delight. After looking at many Bobolink photos on Google, I think the beak of the bird I photographed must have some kind of deformity on the lower mandible. If that is the case, then I suspect this bird is the same individual that I photographed last year, at exactly the same place.
Before heading further south, I caught sight of a very distant bird of prey, perched on a fence post. I will need help to identify what kind it was. After quite a drive, I almost missed two Swainson's Hawks that were on fence posts, with a couple of bare posts in between them. Unable to stop in time, I cautiously reversed, expecting that both would fly off. Luckily, they both stayed and I was able to get a few photos - such beautiful birds. Came across a pair of Mountain Bluebirds along the same road.
Of course, seeing a few favourite silos and a barn or two makes any day special. By the time, I reached the silos, though, the wind had picked up and it was all I could do to take a few quick shots. A few photos were taken from the road, looking down on the Bar U Ranch. Later in the summer, I will hopefully visit the whole ranch again.
Heading eastwards, I returned to the city via the south-east. Eastern and Western Kingbirds, plus a few 'regulars', added to the enjoyment of the day.

A beautiful, sunny day today, Saturday 27 April 2024. Just looked at the weather forecast for the next few days and found that after tomorrow, the next five out of six days are forecast to have snow/rain.
Yesterday, 26 April, I managed a short drive SE of Calgary. Thought I had better make the most of clear roads before the bad weather arrives. All familiar, much-travelled roads this time, around the Frank Lake area and while heading back home.
I bumped into a huge group of people who were on a special outing to Frank Lake, led by Greg Wagner, who takes care of the lake areas and does a tremendous job of recording every bird seen, all year round and for many years. Not just once a day, either! Yesterday, he was showing the participants the various viewing points around the lake and I happened to see the cars coming towards me along one of the roads. I turned around and caught up with them. They had just one more location to visit, but one had to drive on a rough, non-road to get there. I would have been almost the last person to get there if I had gone, with a long walk to get to the lake edge. I knew I couldn't do that, with painful sciatica or bursitis in my right side, so I continued on my own journey. Good to see you, Greg, even if for just a few moments.
A bit of information about Greg:
ebird.org/region/CA/post/greg-wagner-march-ebirder-of-the...
So many birds in the area are far, far away - and I still don't possess a pair of binoculars after about 18 years of birding! (By the way, the birding blind area at Frank Lake is still extremely flooded.) However, I was happy to spend a bit of time watching and taking a few photos of the closer birds on my way home. Mainly Yellow-headed and Red-winged Blackbirds, plus a few Coots and European Starlings. At one point, there was an absolute frenzy of a group of Starlings and both species of Blackbirds on the ground, all mixed together. I had to take a bit of video, through the windscreen so poor quality.
Netanyahu ("have Gaza and West Bank!") is missing here, for example. And a lot of others can be added, too...
Nevertheless: I wish all Flickr friends a peaceful, good, healthy New Year

Having no snow in this part of the UK ruined my idea for a "Cool" shot. The forecast was thundersnow and -10°C, haha, yeah whatever!
So, a can of freeze spray picked up from Home Bargains was the order of the day. I have wanted to do this kind of shot for a while but never got around to it. Having no idea how to create it and Google being no help I winged it.
Strobist: Can lit with LED Lenser P7 from above and slightly to the front. Spray lit with SB910, snooted, 24mm and 1/64. Can triggered with kebab stick then cloned out in PS.
The forecast for today was a dark and dull one, but i took a risk to get some autumn photos in Brighton.
Here we see Brighton & Hove 814 (Sir Charles Thomas-Stanford) on service 24 to Churchill Square. 09th November 2011.
We didn't really figure with Tuesday's forecast we would get anything for decent shots. Surprisingly when we landed it was sunny out and we made tracks to the UP Gila Sub around Shawmut. Here is our 2nd eastbound from Los Angeles, CA, (Savage Pacific Services) to Wilmer, TX, (Dallas Intermodal Terminal) passes the west switch of Bosque, the 1st siding east of Gila Bend. Fighting the 1% grade, this guy slowly creeps east towards Tuscon, the next crew change. This is the UP Gila Sub, ex Southern Pacific Sunset Route between Yuma, AZ and Tuscon, AZ.
This is in one of the many parks close to our condo blg and shot a couple days before we flew home to Nova Scotia
The forecast was decidedly average but today turned out great! We took a wander along the beach at Shoebury. Looking west.

The forecast for this morning wasn't very promising so we decided to stick close to the car. Moab is famous for dinosaur fossils so we wanted to check them out. We went to Mill Canyon to see the Dinosaur Trail - we bounced along a short rutted dirt road with sandy washes - glad we had the Outback. The trail itself was ok but not as good as we expected. There were many signs describing what we were looking at but you really need a vivid imagination to actually see the fossils. After that we decided to head out to the Fisher Towers, reached on Utah 128, a very scenic road that heads NE out of Moab toward Castle Valley and Colorado. Fisher Towers were great but we knew we were not going to have much of a sunset (when the Towers turn bright red) so we checked out some of the side roads in the area. Great choice. The first stop was a boat launch on the Colorado River. Great views and the clouds were ideal for HDR shots. Next stop was near the Onion Creek (?) Road. We found an equine trail and Heather darted off to a nearby rise for a better view. Another great choice. By then the wind was picking up, the temps dropping, so we decided to head to the Moab Brewery for the chicken wings happy hour. Not a bad day at all!
I took these photos in early March 2020.
Awful light and the forecast doesn't look good for the coming week so a quick visit to at least add another to my BY2 score

Lincoln 1940s Weekend. Forecasters predicted rain, the organisers headed their warnings and cancelled almost everything to with this event. Turned out the weather was fine 98% of the time.
To beat the heat (109 deg F forecast high), we started our trek across the dunes at 4:30 am.
We slept under the stars on cots at the nearby Stovepipe Wells Campground. Overall, not bad but the place had the ambience of a dirt parking lot at an old Drive-In Theatre. Other than awakening from two moths trying to fly into my left eye, I gotta say I slept pretty well.
Control tower. 1939-40, to 1939 Watch Office with Meteorological Section design by Air Ministry's Directorate of Works. Drawing no. 5845/39. Painted brickwork walls, reinforced concrete floors and roof, with asphalt finish.
PLAN: a near-square plan on three floors with wide glazed balconies facing the flying field. The ground floor has the main watch office and pilots' room, forecast and teleprinters, and WCs; at first floor is the main control room backed by the meteorological and signals offices; the rear staircase gives access also to the glazed observation room at second floor level.
EXTERIOR: the original steel casements with horizontal glazing bars have been retained almost throughout, including those to the long observation frontages. At ground floor the front has three large 4-light windows separated by brick piers, under a concrete balcony cantilevered out to semi-circular ends, and with a 'nautical' style steel balustrade in four horizontal bars and handrail to simple uprights; at this level is a continuous multi-light window returned to quadrants at each end, above a low breast wall, and with a deep parapet wall taken up as a balustrade to the top deck, which has a further range of full-width glazing to a set-back observation room. The return walls each have a series of tall casements, linked at the upper level by a 'frieze band' under the cantilevered flat slab with the nautical balustrade continued to the rear to the stair tower. The rear faÃŽade has a single light each side of the projecting stair tower, with a small bulls-eye above a deep stair light, and small lights on the return.
Later alterations comprise timber-framed and glazed observation room, and extension over rear doorway. The building is flanked at each side by two-bay and three-bay fire tender and flare stores.
INTERIOR: original doors and joinery; solid concrete staircase.
HISTORY: This is the best example of this type of control tower after Swanton Morley. It is the most sophisticated Air Ministry design of the inter-war period both in terms of its planning, with a meteorological section incorporated into the design behind the control room. Its distinctly Art Deco treatment strongly recalls the Bauhaus tradition from which this style was evolved. In the second half of the 1930s, increasing attention was being given to the dispersal and shelter of aircraft from attack, ensuring serviceable landing and take-off areas, and the control of movement: the result was the development of the control tower, from the simple watch office of the 1920s, and the planning from 1938 of the first airfields with runways and perimeter tracks. The development of radio communication, and the increasing need to organise the flying field into different zones for take-off, landing and taxiing, brought with it an acceptance that movement on the airfield needed to be controlled from a single centre: control towers thus evolved from the simple duty pilot's watch office to the tower design of 1934 and integration of traffic control and weather monitoring in the Art Deco horizontality of the Watch Office with Meteorological Section of 1939. The control tower became the most distinctive and instantly recognisable building associated with military airfields, particularly in the Second World War when they served as foci for base personnel as they awaited the return of aircraft from operations.
From 1930 the Maidstone School of Flying used the area as a private landing ground, which was registered as Maidstone airport in 1932. A satellite of Biggin Hill within Fighter Command's strategically critical 11 Group, West Malling was opened as a fighter station in June 1940, although a series of raids in August and September 1940 rendered the airfield unserviceable for much of the Battle of Britain. It reopened in October of that year, although the station was able to accept a full station only in April 1941. It became a nightfighter station at this time, its Bristol Beaufighter pilots including Guy Gibson and Don Parker - both becoming famous names in Bomber Command, the former for his leadership of 617 Squadron in the Dams Raid and other precision attacks. It was later used by Mosquitos and Typhoons in operations against occupied Europe, including the support of 'D' Day, and became the principal station during 'Operation Diver' in 1944, the name given to the defence of the east and south-eastern coasts against the V1 bomb. It is significant, in this context, that there are no other fighter stations associated with 'Operation Diver' that have survived in a sufficiently complete state of preservation to merit listing: the other key sites in the London area - Northolt, Biggin Hill and Kenley - were placed behind the balloon barrage erected for the operation. With the end of the war, West Malling became the main rehabilitation centre for POWs returning from Germany to Britain. The base was put into 'care and maintenance' in August 1960, and was acquired in 1970 by Kent County Council: in 1972 it became a centre for dispossessed Ugandan Asians, and eventually some of the major buildings were adapted for Local Authority use (notably the Officers' Mess and Building 60), whilst others were retained and incorporated as part of a larger commercial park.
