Clachan Duich is the ancient church and burial ground of the MacRaes of Kintail. Situated close to the head of Loch Duich, Clachan Duich has been in existence since at least 1050 and probably was in use much earlier.

It was so cold today that snowflakes fell from a clear sky - a rare phenomenon resulting from clouds quickly dissipating and moving downwind before the flakes from them can fall to the ground.
I took this photo on a very cold and misty morning, as you can see. The road surface had icy patches on it.
I used Silver Efex Pro 2 together with Photoshop Elements to create the B&W image.

Spring Roid Week 2016 Day 6
I missed day 5 with a busy day yesterday but this sight stopped me on my drive yesterday and knew I needed a shot for Roid Week. (even if my focus was poor)

Derby in north-eastern Tasmania is just over 100 kilometres from Launceston on the Ringarooma River. Here in the late 19th century tin mining became the primary focus of the settlement. Behind that hill in the background of this photograph is the remains of over a century of diggings. We'll come back to Derby sometime soon and see how this pretty little town has dealt with the changes.
But I couldn't resist posting this shot along with my other landscapes today. Here is the historic grandstand of the Derby cricket and football clubs. As you can see from the state of the ground, it has been many years since it was last used. Like so many little towns around the state, sporting clubs have ceased to exist because the once steady supply of able bodied young men is no longer present to make up sufficient numbers for teams.
The last game of the truly indigenous Australian Football code was played here in 1972. Because cricket can be played to an older age, and requires fewer players, the cricket club continued until 2001. This grandstand now stands as a last memory of the days when country sport was the primary means of uniting far flung communities.
Here is some more historical information about this ground by Vin Maskell and Chris Rees:
Up close with a small (around 2 cm.) carabid ground beetle in the Mojave Desert. These little predators are usually found running across the sand almost nonstop, but I saw this one on a cool and rainy day, so it sat still for a portrait.
This is one of the many planes at the Pima Air Museum in Tucson. This particular plane is an old 747 used for experimental flights and now parked. It seemed to be dreaming of flying again.

I rarely see a Northern Flicker on the ground, maybe this one likes dandelions?

We interrupt or seemingly incessant postings of Mount Rainier and it's surrounding area to broadcast this important finding.
As you know, I'm a super secret agent for SIMPLE, (Space Invaders Monitoring and Protective League Entente), and for the past several months I've been undercover searching for the source of the Corona Virus as I was certain it stemmed from outer space, but no, here deep in the mines beneath their secret location in North Korea the insidious plot at world domination has been discovered. As it turns out, missiles cost a lot of money, but bugs are free....

I've been working seven day weeks for over a month, I did get a weekend a couple weeks ago but spent it with the fam. Then while the zombie apocalypse broke out we were on vacation so I've been off for a LONG time. I have a grand total of 12 pics for the year so far and so.... I'll be checking in today and happily sitting on my backside one more day before I find out what kind of hell awaits me back in the real world tomorrow.

At the other end of the spectrum, this plant world miniature, ground carnivorous plant wasn't all that far from the Fig Bird. These were so tiny as to be almost invisible unless down on all fours. They were alive in one little moist area about a metre square beside the track and that was it. I guess they eat ants! Or other small insects that blunder into them of course...ants are close!
Thanks to Basil for identifying this as a Sun Dew.

Five weeks today we will be in the air on our way to South Africa - I can't believe how fast the time is going.
With lake padarn and Eryri mountains in beautiful sunshine and Dolbadarn steam locomotive coming around the corner near cei llydan station.
Saturday morning it was plenty foggy out and for once I decided to get out early and try for some fog shots. As I drove up to this location I thought a train would be pretty cool through the fog. I stuck around for about 20 minutes and sure enough I heard the train whistle in the distance. With my finger on the shutter button, I waited for the headlights to get in just the right spot between the poles and then..................*snap*.
Got the shot :-)
Have a great week everyone!!

The Eiffel Tower is a wrought iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower.
Constructed from 1887–89 as the entrance to the 1889 World's Fair, it was initially criticized by some of France's leading artists and intellectuals for its design, but it has become a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognisable structures in the world. The Eiffel Tower is the most-visited paid monument in the world; 6.91 million people ascended it in 2015.
The tower is 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building, and the tallest structure in Paris. Its base is square, measuring 125 metres (410 ft) on each side. During its construction, the Eiffel Tower surpassed the Washington Monument to become the tallest man-made structure in the world, a title it held for 41 years until the Chrysler Building in New York City was finished in 1930. Due to the addition of a broadcasting aerial at the top of the tower in 1957, it is now taller than the Chrysler Building by 5.2 metres (17 ft). Excluding transmitters, the Eiffel Tower is the second tallest structure in France after the Millau Viaduct.
The tower has three levels for visitors, with restaurants on the first and second levels. The top level's upper platform is 276 m (906 ft) above the ground – the highest observation deck accessible to the public in the European Union. Tickets can be purchased to ascend by stairs or lift (elevator) to the first and second levels. The climb from ground level to the first level is over 300 steps, as is the climb from the first level to the second. Although there is a staircase to the top level, it is usually accessible only by lift. [Wikipedia]

I actually found another cooperative Ground Skink. I flipped this one and it froze in this spot for a few photos. They usually bolt at first sight.
This Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) was lying on the ground, drumming loudly and rythmically into this treetrunk, when I saw it. The black occipital area means it is a female (the male's is red).
Lots of color on the ground yesterday. I have a suspicion that a deer came in, tried to eat from the feeder and spilled seeds on the ground in the process.
I don't think I've ever seen this many adult male purple finches together. It made for a lovely scene. One house finch female, two male goldfinches and four purple males. If I just had three of something, I'd have the makings of a song.
