And here we are, the summit of Cairn Gorm itself marked by this large rocky cairn. Our route to this point along the coire's (cliffs) of the Cairngorm plateau through a very dramatic landscape. This is quite an achievement and is my 27th Munro now!
Cairn Gorm, the mountain from which the Cairngorm mountain range gets its name, stands at 1245 meters (4085 feet) and is my 4th Munro of the season, my 27th in total. The hike (no bike this time) sees me covering a circuit of just over 7 miles and making an elevation gain of around 762 meters (2500 feet).
The annual Liverpool Santa Dash event marked its 20th festive race in the city, with thousands of people donning their beards, hats and red (and blue) suits to race along the 5k route around the city centre in support of Claire House Children's Hospice. It is predicted that around 8,000 people took part in the charity event.
the course took runners through the Royal Albert Dock and onwards into the heart of the city and then on to the finish line outside Liverpool Town Hall.
After a rainy start to the day, the sun eventually came out for the runners, who made their way around the course dressed in a range of outfits. While most opted for the Santa outfit, others came as elves and there was even a grumpy Grinch in the mix.
The BTR Liverpool Santa Dash welcomes everyone—whether walking, jogging, or running. Wheelchair users and even tiny Santas in prams or pets are encouraged to join.
Because of its tiny size (about 10mm across), the Chestnut-Marked Pondweed Moth is easy to overlook, but well worth some closer inspection! Photographed in the La Crosse River Marsh.

One of our most common, and probably one of our noisiest birds... The Arrow-marked Babblers are garrulous, restless and intensely social birds and are often over-looked. But, zoom in and look carefully at the feathers that make up the arrow marks.. They are beautiful!

This entire roll was marred by marks on the negatives, such as can be seen in this shot. In most cases I was able to remove them with Photoshop, but I wasn't able to deal with this one in a manner I was satisfied with. So I've decided to leave it looking grimy.
I'm not sure what the marks are. At first I thought they were drying marks but, upon closer inspection, they don't look like any drying marks I've encountered previously. I suspect it may be that the film itself has become degraded in some way, perhaps due to it's age, storage, or use.
This species marked one of three Salamander species I had left in the state of California, outside the Genus Batrachoseps. My last trip resulted in all three of the species I needed. This was my first real trip in this region and I can't wait to revisit this spectacular place.
Black-throated Green Warbler at The Loch in Central Park, New York.
The pretty little Black-throated Green Warbler is aptly named, with a green crown, back, and rump; black throat, upper breast, and wings; and lemon-yellow face. The amount of black on its throat and breast varies according to the bird's age and sex, with adult males the most boldly marked. This is one of the more familiar migratory warblers found in the eastern United States, and is fairly easy to spot on its breeding grounds, as males sing persistently. One was recorded belting out 466 songs in an hour!

Yesterday marked 12 months to the day since the first UK lockdown started in response to the Covid 19 pandemic.
The death toll currently stands at 126K
For me, one of the highlights of our walk last Sunday was finding these 13th century church ruins. I Loved the peaceful energy of the place.
The wooden sign reads:
'The place where thou standest
is holy ground.
It is also sacred to the dead
whose bodies rest here.
Try to speak and act
reverently in it.'

We've been exploring the pathway that circumnavigates Calgary, called the Rotary / Mattamy Greenway. Altogether, it seems to be about 138 km's in total, it is mainly dedicated pathway, but in some parts, it currently follows quiet roads. I'm suspecting it will be 100% pathway in the next few years. Calgary has more than 1000 km's of marked pathways linking the many parks and communities with each other.
Another of my telephoto shots taken from over Dover Harbour, so about 22 miles away. On the right are two Dover-Calais cross channel ferries docked in Calais harbour. In the centre are what I assume to be silos of some kind connected by what appears to be a conveyor belt housing. These structures can be seen on Google maps on Quai En Eau Profonde, and are marked up as Tereos, who appear to be sugar people.
These are not photos of much technical quality, but anyway....
By now, this building at Castle Peak Road is in the midst of being demolished for redevelopment.

Peregrine Falcon / falco peregrinus. East Mill, Belper, Derbyshire. 12/06/22.
'NEWLY FLEDGED.'
12th June marked the day that the two juvenile Peregrines fledged from East Mill. When I arrived mid-morning, one had already gone from the nesting balcony and the other was nowhere in sight. It must have been having a nap because it eventually appeared on the rail of the balcony.
There it remained on view for a number of hours, often flapping rapidly, looking as if it was going to take-off.
At about 4pm - (after several 'will it, won't it' false alarms), it did finally fledge. As so often happens there it failed to gain height and ended up at the base of the building, thankfully unharmed.
Now, some 12 days later, I understand that both juveniles have honed their flying skills and are doing well.
