As much as I try to keep content interesting and unique, living in the California Central Valley makes that pretty tricky at times. My life doesn't always give me the chance to shoot something unique, but when it does, best believe you'll see me take it! This is definitely the case here with this photo at Casa Loma, located within the confines of Donner Pass.
SPMW 4032 is seen leading its siblings around the S-curve at Casa Loma. It is en route to Truckee in preparation for the Winter season. 4032 is a former SP Jordan Spreader built in the 1960s, and still wears "SPMW" like it did back then. Winter starts in 16 days, but UP sure isn't waiting, and potential snowstorms aren't either. A decent-sized storm was forecast to ensue within a day or two, convincing UP that it was a good time to send them up the pass.
As for the shot, I had to jump (as the title says) out of my friend's car with hardly 5 seconds to spare. Safe to say I got lucky with this one!
Pelegrina, I think. Natural settings are ideal, but the hood of a car can make an interesting photo...
Jumping Spider
Another of my Jumping Spider series of photos, captured with a Nikon D610, Sigma 150mm Macro & Raynox DCR250 Super Macro Adapter. The shot settings were 1/60 seconds, f/11, ISO 2000 and the photo was run through Topaz Denoise AI to remove the Noise, then it was edited in Skylum's Aurora HDR to bring out the shadows and highlights before being finished off in Skylum's Luminar 4 (AI Enhance & Structure AI). I ran the photo through affinity to remove some of the dirt from the porcelain tile the spider was sitting on which was distracting, the blue surface is the reflection of the sky from the black porcelain tile.

This is another photo I took in Madeira. We booked a tour to see cetaceans of the coast to Madeira. We saw a group of bottlenose dolphins and some pilot whales. This bottlenose dolphin played with a plastic bag and jumped out of the water only once. I was quite lucky to get the shot.
The Age of Dinosaur's base and main museum and labs etc are situated on what they call the Jump-up (colloquial name for a mesa or flat topped mountain) about 20 kilometres south-east of Winton. About half that distance is off the highway but all good bitumen roads. The views across the surrounding, almost primeval plain are staggeringly beautiful and you can let your mind drift back 95 million years to what it once was. A picture of that will definitely form once through the displays. If you enlarge or zoom in, check out more Jump-Ups/Mesas out there on the horizon.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
not something I would do LOL
This is a tower in Vienna where people pay tp have a set of rubber bands tied around there ankles and then they jump off, aka Bungy jumping
This is a place in my home town Laie where people like to jump off. If fyou dont jump right you hit the reef below. I jumped twice and hit the bottom both time hahaha, Enough jumping off there for me.

A small (5 mm) juvenile jumping spider - Phidippus sp., I think either P. audax or adumbratus. Despite the fact that it's missing three legs, it still managed to catch its dinner. It will be able to regenerate its lost limbs over the next couple of molts.
Schorsmarpissa (Marpissa muscosa)
A Jumping Spider with no official English name, about 8 mm in size.
Too frustratingly small and fast to get anything more than decent focus and enough depth of field.
Me jumping around in Fjallsárlón, a glacier lagoon at the south end of the Icelandic glacier Vatnajökull. I went for a swim in the lagoon, the water temperature was 2°C (37°F).

I heavily focussed on jumping spiders this year. I spent most of my free time trying to find new species (new to me) and scouting potential locations. When I find one of these gorgeous spiders I usually take a few unestethic shots from the top first for documentary purpose and to make identification easier. Just when I have these done I try to get a decent looking portrait (if the spider didn't already disappear). In 2020 I ended up with 502 individual salticids from Germany and Italy of which I got decent looking portraits. I compiled 400 of these indiivduals in the image shown here. Among these 502 individuals there are 34 species that I could reliably ID. I estimate that there are at least an additional 10 species among the ones that I couldn't ID yet. I'm specifically happy about the Attulus species, the Neon sp. individuals, Chalcoscirtus nigritus and the Ballus rufipes juvenile. My most photographed species are Asianellus fesituvs and Aelurillus v-insignitus with 45 and 52 individuals, respecitvely. I have a population of both of these species nearby and therefore I visited them frequently. Having entire populations nearby that guarantee you to always find individuals of this species is a great opportunity to learn more about the phenology (biological life cycle) of these species.
Most of the shots are at least a little underexposed as I didn't manage to process them yet. I'm not sure if I'll be done with that until the next season starts :/
