Groningen, the Netherlands.

 

Living in suburbia....down by the waterside

At a local park not more than a few miles from my house. At low tide there is solid stretch of land that connects to the small island just right of center. This area is a designated bird sanctuary home to gulls, Canadian geese, egrets, swans, hawks, flacons and various species of mallards. This area is not recommended during hot summer days as mosquitos, deer flies and ticks will bite you to pieces.

One Spoonbill, three Ibis and a duck, resting by the pond at Mt. Coot-tha Botanic Gardens in Brisbane.

Our quaint local community of Finn Slough. You take an immediate step back in time when you arrive. It’s quite a special little community.

The new era has begun on the Canadian National's Portland line in Quebec. A swing to full GMD's has taken about a year since my first visit to the area as seen at the "farm curve" between Waterville and Compton Station. The local out of Richmond has a healthy cut of lumber for the distributor in Coaticook on this day.

One time you find me in my Local pub now im just as happy at my Local beach .

Another image from an early morning woodland walk before work.

Local Acrobat well known n the neighborhood able too climb any thing in search of food.

A Cypress Swamp in the Mercer Arboretum north of Houston, Texas. Though it may seem otherwise, the water level is lower than usual.

 

The woody knobs are "cypress knees" -- they provide these tall trees oxygen, nutrients and stability not otherwise available in the primordial ooze. A bald cypress can live up to 600 years, though there are some as old as 1,000.

I'm now nearly 4 weeks into recovering from a fractured elbow and off untill I can safely drive again. But a very local location is still walkable for me and with a sunrise a stunning as this mornings all my aches and pains diminished just a little.

Our local wood Kent UK,

The female looks for hosts, which live within fallen timber. She may detect them through the smell of their droppings, which are then contaminated by fungi, or by sensing their vibrations within the wood.

Dove stone reservoir on the edge of the Peak District national park

Taken near to me with the trees that i have included a few times with other crops during the years..

Looks very similar to rape seed oil as it does appear in April.

I did take a few over a period this afternoon but liked the sky in this one.

This time, the reason I'm 'staying local' is that I only have quarter of a tank of petrol which I need to save as I'll need it during the week. We didn't have a fuel shortage in the UK earlier this week, but because the media decided we did, people who didn't really need any fuel panic-bought it all. Most of the petrol stations near me have been closed since Friday because they ran out. Annoyingly, my nearest one is just round the corner from Ipswich Hospital and I regularly see ambulances filling up there, and now they can’t. I'm assuming the emergency services have special arrangements for getting fuel in situations like this, but why should they have to just because of 'people'?! It's like the toilet paper all over again but worse.

 

So yes, I had planned to go a bit further afield this weekend but settled for a walk locally, and I was excited to see some new bales in my local farm fields. The fields looked beautiful bathed in the evening (‘evening’ now being 5.30pm!) sunlight. I think a photography judge would prefer to see those pylons and cables on the horizon cloned out, but as they are are a permanent part of the landscape, and I’ve already cloned out 2 dog poo bags and various insects, they are staying!

 

Onwards and upwards for a brand new week tomorrow :)
