Pigeon Point Lighthouse, Perscadero, CA
One of my favorite spots on the Pacific Coast Highway. No matter how many times I visit this spot, the beauty of the scenery never ceases to amaze me. Although shooting here was not the plan yesterday, I decided to make a little stop over anyway and I'm glad I did. The bluffs around the lighthouse were adorned with colorful Spring blooms such as these and added to the charm of this place.
Don't believe it when someone tells you that "size doesn't matter!" You bet it does and this photographer is proof that bringing out the big guns at an airshow is sometimes essential. My Nikon 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 VR zoom is feeling sorta inadequate right about now.
Photographed at the 27th Annual World War II Weekend at the Mid Atlantic Air Museum.
Shutterbug Tip: This is a good example of using a long lens up close, with a (relatively) large aperture and a distant background to blur everything else out and allow the eye to focus only on the subject; great Image Isolation and Shallow Depth of Field.

Avant de partir pour Sognéterno, le Roi Eryndor Thorsen s'était recueilli au Temple des Silences Éternels, un sanctuaire ancien taillé dans la roche des montagnes de Sombreciel.
C'est là, entouré des serviteurs de Luminaris et des lueurs vacillantes qu'il rassemble ses pensées.
Le Roi venait y apaiser la colère qui grondait en lui et puiser la force nécessaire pour supporter les nobles de Valmirion et leur famille royale. Leur arrogance, leur appétit pour les intrigues et leur mépris à peine voilé pour Sombreciel ne faisaient que nourrir son dégoût. Pourtant, Eryndor n'avait pas le choix : il devait se rendre au tournoi pour défendre l'honneur de son Royaume et, plus encore, espérer garnir les coffres presque vides avec le grand prix.

"Hey bub."
"Hey Logan! How's it been?"
"I know what you did Deadpool."
Wait he hated that name, why isn't he calling me Wade?
"Look I'm sorry I hit on Jean, to be fair it wasn't really her."
"You killed my Master!"
"Come on Logan, you're not a dog, no matter how hairy you are or how much you growl at people you don't like."
"You killed my Master, and you will pay."
If I still had pants on, I'd need to change them right now...
Thank you very much for the visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
Australasian Darter
Anhinga novaehollandiae
Anhingidae
Description: The Darter is a large, slim water bird with a long snake-like neck, sharp pointed bill, and long, rounded tail. Male birds are dark brownish black with glossy black upperwings, streaked and spotted white, silver-grey and brown. The strongly kinked neck has a white or pale brown stripe from the bill to where the neck kinks and the breast is chestnut brown. Females and immatures are grey-brown above, pale grey to white below, with a white neck stripe that is less distinct in young birds. The Darter is often seen swimming with only the snake-like neck visible above the water, or drying its wings while perched on a tree or stump over water. While its gait is clumsy on land, it can soar gracefully to great heights on thermals, gliding from updraft to updraft. It has a cross-shaped silhouette when flying.
Distribution: In Australia, the Darter is found from Adelaide, South Australia, to Tennant Creek, Northern Territory and then to Broome, Western Australia. it is also found in south-western Australia, from Perth to Esperance. Worldwide, it has been thought of as one of two mainAnhinga species (the other, A. anhinga, is found in North America), found in the southern half of Africa, Madagascar, Iraq, Pakistan, India, south-east Asia, Indonesia and New Guinea. However, A. melanogaster is now considered to be further divided into three species, with rufa being found in Africa, melanogaster in south Asia and novaehollandiae in New Guinea and Australia (the Australasian Darter).
Habitat: The Darter is found in wetlands and sheltered coastal waters, mainly in the Tropics and Subtropics. It prefers smooth, open waters, for feeding, with tree trunks, branches, stumps or posts fringing the water, for resting and drying its wings. Most often seen inland, around permanent and temporary water bodies at least half a metre deep, but may be seen in calm seas near shore, fishing. The Darter is not affected by salinity or murky waters, but does require waters with sparse vegetation that allow it to swim and dive easily. It builds its nests in trees standing in water, and will move to deeper waters if the waters begin to dry up.
Feeding: The Darter catches fish with its sharp bill partly open while diving in water deeper than 60 cm. The fish is pierced from underneath, flicked onto the water's surface and then swallowed head first. Smaller items are eaten underwater and large items may be carried to a convenient perch and then swallowed. Insects and other aquatic animals, including tortoises, may also be eaten, as well as some vegetable matter. In hot weather, adult birds may pour water from their bills into the gullets of their young chicks when they are still in the nest.
Breeding: The Darter is usually a solitary bird, forming pairs only while breeding. Breeding is erratic, happening whenever water levels and food supplies are suitable, but most often occurs in spring and summer. Nests are usually solitary, but Darters may nest within loose colonies with other water birds that nest in trees, such as cormorants, spoonbills and ibis. The male decorates a nest-site with green leafy twigs and displays to attract a mate, with elaborate wing-waving and twig-grasping movements. The male carries most of the nest material to the nest-site, which is normally in the fork of a tree standing in water, usually about 3.5 m above the water's surface. Both sexes complete the nest, incubate the eggs and raise the young. Chicks are kept warm by brooding continously (or cooled down by shading with spread wings) for up to a week after hatching and both adults stay in the nest with the chicks overnight. In hot weather, the adults will even shake water over the chicks after a swim. Chicks can swim after about four weeks in the nest and start to fly at about 50 days.

Pushing forward for another me,
Pushing through the pain,
Towards the goal i see,
Refuse to remain the same.
Enough of the cutting,
Enough of the hurt,
Enough rebuffing,
Its time to be alert.
I decided to change,
I’m sure that i can,
Sick of feeling strange,
I have a new plan.
Mind over matter,
Push to the edge,
Don’t be a slacker,
Just breathe and stretch.
A small comparison to show you that (sometimes) size matters. Iberia. Airbus A340-642, reg EC-LEV, cn 1079. length 75 m, Maximum Take Off Weight 380000 kg.
What matters to you defines your mattering.
Decided to do a series of these. This one is for An Abundance of Katherines.
I have a really good idea for the last one. Mahahahaha...
Kay Kay and I are going to rave havoc on a Barnes and Noble now, so bye!
Well it was just a matter of time before GBRf's Railfreight class 66 would come down to our neck of the woods. It worked 0L32 0708 Whitemoor Yard L.D.C Gbrf to Ipswich Reception Gbrf light engine, then worked 0P32 1023 Ipswich Reception Gbrf to North Walsham Gbrf light engine, then worked 6A32 1334 North Walsham Gbrf to Harwich Refinery Crls Slvs condensate tanks. Having had to work in the daytime my only chance of seeing it was on the last working which was 0E06 1940 Harwich Refinery Crls Slvs to Whitemoor Yard L.D.C Gbrf light engine it was seen passing through Ipswich station at 2017. Job well done!

He has been pulled, tugged, bitten, chewed and dragged since the day he was bought! You've guessed it - he is one of Bonny's favourite toys!!
Have a wonderful coming weekend and exceptional New Year.

The milky way reflecting onto Tenaya Lake in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. I am still blown away by how much light pollution there is around the San Franvisco Bay Area, but I am glad within a few hours I can get this view, I sure hope that it stays this way. Thankful to get to enjoy this view with some awesome buds.
One of the features of the Sk8 Park in Grimsby, Ontario is a group of small billboard-style panels specifically intended to host the artistic expressions of those visiting the site. As a result, graffiti is encouraged in places that are acceptable. Furthermore, periodic cleanup of the panels by town staff ensures regular refreshment of the subject matter. This image was taken in mid-February, the dead of Winter, so the snow-covered park was not in regular use and had not been for several months. The last round of painting had been ignored, likely waiting for Spring to get a refresh, with the consequence being the multiple layers of paint had weathered and flaked off leaving colourful abstracts when viewed up close. This section features and area with yellow and green patches. - JW

Dark matter is a form of matter that is thought to account for approximately 85% of the matter in the universe and about a quarter of its total energy density.
Possibly being composed of some as-yet undiscovered subatomic particles. Its presence is implied in a variety of astrophysical observations, including gravitational effects that cannot be explained by accepted theories of gravity unless more matter is present than can be seen.
No wonder life can get you down some days.
