A Queen Red-tailed Bumble Bee on my Helenium Mardi Gras in the garden this afternoon.
This large Queen Bumble Bee was easily around 22-25mm long.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
A re-edit of a picture I took and posted last May. I had helped push the Spitfire onto the grass for static display, and while they were busy setting up the rope barrier, I was able to put my arm into the open cockpit with my camera and get this shot.
Peak period on Sydney harbour.
Last Saturday night at McMahons Point Wharf.
Saturday 12th October, 2024.
Part of my recent dusk walking tours around the harbour.
Lately I have been parking the car along Blues Point Road, and walking down to the harbour.
A catamaran had just picked up more wedding guests from the McMahons Point Wharf, and was embarking on its dusk wedding cruise.
Meanwhile, the 'John Nutt' ferry - coming from Darling Harbour - was just about to dock at McMahons Point Wharf, to collect passengers going to Luna Park (Milsons Point) and then under the bridge to Circular Quay.
The 'John Nutt' is Sydney's newest ferry, commencing service in July, 2024. It is one of the new Parramatta River Class of catamarans. John Nutt was an engineer who was chiefly responsible for constructing Sydney's Opera House.

This is my photo for the 52 in 2019 Challenge - #46 - On the bottle.
Peter's stash of red wine including dust.
MK-Skyhook towers over the site, scanning from above with steady focus. Its telescopic arm stretches far and ends in a precise, claw-like grip. It moves with efficiency, lifting and placing girders with a sense of purpose. Skyhook doesn’t waste words - or movements.
Before the sparks fly and the skyline begins to grow, the MK-Series arrives. These Builders don’t just follow instructions - they create the cities of the future. Each unit brings a different rhythm to the worksite, from the steady churn of mixers to the precise lifts of cranes. They build with patience, coordination, and precision - because a strong city needs solid foundations.
Arriving early at Duxford for today's mini-airshow, I helped push BM597 back onto the grass. It was much heavier than I imagined - even with 6 men pushing on the leading edges of the main wing, it was hard work! I don't what I expected, never pushed one before. Anyhow, before they closed the cockpit door and canopy (it had started to rain, of course) I managed to get a few shots of the cockpit interior - put my arm right in with my Sony RX100 for this shot.
A US aircraft of the early WW2 era, first flight was in 1935. Although these didn't see much action with the USAAF, a number were exported to other air forces and were widely deployed.
In the 1940-41 Franco-Thai War, P-36s were used by both sides - a great test for pilot skill and tactics!
The design was later developed into the much more successful P-40 Warhawk.
This picture was taken at the Duxford, July 2023 Air Show.

In the original plans for CMK no building could be more than three stories high. But when you run out of space sideways you start reaching for the stars...
This Seafire Mk.XVII was built by Westlands in 1946. Seen here at 2022 Shuttleworth Fly Navy air show with Chris Gotke as pilot.

Soooo....
I haven't posted in a while, mostly due to lack of inspiration/perseverance. I have a large rover on the way, and I want to make some smaller ones, so I might last out February.
What could I have done better on this?
The next gen, with fully rotational head. this was important, as now it can be prone and look anywhere. It is also the same height as my previous drones, but folds up better.
Will probably clean up the arms on further iterations. Legs still cannot support themselves, it's an issue that needs working on.
