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.
A new one for me, a Lark Sparrow. A few of these birds around, but once again very little co-operation in relation to a neat setting for a picture
Deus nos faz pulaaaaaaaaar alto!
O espírito de Deus se move em mim
Eu canto, pulo e louvo
Eu sinto Seu poder me invadir
Eu canto, pulo e louvo...

This tiny, wingless insect is a jumping bristletail (order Microcoryphia, aka Archaeognatha). Some species get up to 2 cm., but this one was barely the size of a thin grain of rice. True to their name, they jump, by striking the ground with their abdomen. They resemble silverfish, but unlike them have compound eyes (and can jump). Theirs is an ancient lineage; fossils go back to the Devonian, pre-dinosaur times. They have simpler jaws than other insects & unlike most insects can continue to molt past adulthood. Some live up to 4 years. If you look closely, you'll see they have scales almost like a moth. Fascinating little creatures.

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.
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).
Jumping for Joy.
On Saturday 6th August 2016 Liverpool celebrated the ‘Liverpool Loves 2016’ Festival along the waterfront by the Pier Head. Andy Rouse (another Flickrite) and I stumbled across this festival by accident, as we both live around the Manchester area we had decided to pay Liverpool a visit to take a few pictures of the city and to see the Beatles statue situated near the Liver Building. It was a brilliant day, the mood was fantastic and the humour was, what all Scousers are about. On our travels I spotted this young lady obviously enjoying herself having her picture taken by the side of Mann Island while her friend looked on. I only managed to catch her last leap in the air and then they disappeared before I could reach them and speak to her. So thank you young lady whoever you are for giving me a photo I really like. Hope you do too.

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 :/

This is a still from a video taken with my GoPro. All my fishing videos are uploaded to the iPad just after I get off the river. Then I use the Video2Photo app to view them and take some still photos if I wish. It's a pretty neat app. If you shoot any video you should check it out.
This was hooked at Portland Creek on Newfoundland's Great Northern Peninsula. We just made a second fly fishing trip to Labrador and on the way home I decided to stop off at Portland Creek for a few more days fishing. (You can't ever get enough fly fishing!) We stayed at Mountain Waters Resort, an RV park in the area. It's a great place to stay if you're ever visiting this part of the island. They have cabins available, too, but we had a campsite right on the river. We could actually see salmon jumping in the river if we looked out through the window of our truck camper.
The GoPro is worn on a chest harness ... called a Chesty ... so the video is not always horizontally aligned as you can imagine. :-)
Beautiful female of Phidippus mystaceus, a common species at the Lizard Tail Swamp Preserve (TNC) in New Jersey. September 30, 2017.
My most ambitious handheld focus stack to date! 103 images!
I found this on the villa window cill whilst on holiday. I transferred it to the patio table, chased it round for ages until it settled enough for a stack. I wanted it sharp from front to back hence the number of images.
I can't identify the sp. but they are so much bigger than the Zebras we get in the UK.
Handheld images stacked in Photoshop, i found him on some leaves on a tree. First time ever seeing this kind of spider, was very cool. Using a self made flash diffuser and an 18-55mm kit lens on a reverse ring. Thanks everyone!

'Jump is a very pretty female rabbit who arrived in January 2021, aged about five, after her owners asked us to take them in as they felt they were no longer able to provide them with the attention they needed.
Her and her friend Peanut are both outgoing and friendly rabbits who like to be involved in mucking out their hutch (i.e. getting in the way!) and sometimes dig holes!
