As I sit here, grappling with my thoughts, I realize that expressing my feelings has always been an uphill battle. Emotions, like a tempest within, swirl and churn, but I find myself lost in a sea of words that never quite escape my lips. It's not that I don't want to share; rather, it's a fear of vulnerability that holds me back. I've always feared judgment and rejection, so I keep my emotions guarded, tucked away in the recesses of my heart.

 

What I can give is my heart made of string.

It's a known fact, once the sun sets the city of Gotham faces a rise in crime. Even the most kindest citizens turn to criminal tactics to help save society from all that is wrong... One of those citizens is known as, "The Grappler."

As photographers we often grapple with the notion that familiar surroundings offer nothing new to photograph, a sentiment I’ve encountered even in my own backyard of Fort Langley. Despite its small size and intimate charm, I’ve spent decades capturing the essence of our little village increasing the challenge of finding fresh content. The key, lies not in the grandeur of the locale but in the depth of observation and creativity. By shifting focus from static landmarks, to people, moments and perspective, I’ve discovered many new photographic opportunities. Whether it’s exploring the nuances of everyday life through street photography or delving into the hidden beauty of minute details with a macro lens, there’s always something new to discover—even in the most familiar of settings. So, while Fort Langley remains my muse, the lesson extends beyond its borders: photographic inspiration is not bound by geography but by the willingness to see the world with fresh eyes and an open heart.

This pic was basically a test of my photoshop skills and I think the floating stormtrooper came out pretty good even though the reflection got kinda weird, but I need to work on the lightsaber effects.

A grapple, (a real word) is, or was, an attempt to entice more children to eat fruit. An apple was "soaked" in grape juice so that the apple was infused with grape flvouring.

 

One thing I did notice when setting up this shot was that having cut the apple in half and scooped out the core so that the grape could sit in the middle, a few minutes had gone by, 5 at the most, and the apple was alread going brown from the centre.

I kept putting off uploading this shot because the Goshawks were a bit distant. But it is such an unusual shot with one bird flying upside down and raising its talons, that I had to post it. These are both immature Goshawks tussling over a territory, with the Peak District Moors in the background. I almost called it a dogfight, and the dictionary does define dogfight as close combat with two aircrafts. Why dogfight though? Well the etymology suggests that a fight between two women was known as a catfight, and as most fighter pilots were men, they called aircraft battles dogfights. It also mentions the similarity to two dogs chasing each other's tail.

I mentioned recently that Black-tailed Godwits spent a lot of time fighting, and someone asked if it was like sword fighting. Well not really as this one had jumped on the other one's back and was nipping or plucking, I'm not sure which. But the victim was giving a great display of his wing bar and tail pattern. If you are questioning my choice of crop, I didn't have a choice as this was straight off the camera. I was using a 700mm prime and they were right in front of the hide. The Black-tailed Godwits were keeping company with Ruff, which are famously pugnacious. Yet the Ruffs seemed perfectly chilled while the Godwits grappled. It surprised me as all of the Godwits (and Ruffs) were in non-breeding plumage so should not have high levels of testosterone at this time of year. This was taken at Martin Mere in Lancashire.
