My blue Marguerite 'felicia amelloides' daisies, happily absorbing the northern sun here at Cherrybrook in northern Sydney. They are from the 'Plants Plus' nursery and garden centre, in the Cumberland Forest, at West Pennant Hills.
My Canon 5D Mk IV with a Canon f 2.8 L macro lens.
For some strange reason all the camera information is not showing on the right hand side as it normally does, or usually does, for this and other recent 5D images.
Do you empathise with the fish or the bird, I wonder? Several people have expressed sympathy for the fish in previous photos 'Do they ever get away?' I have been asked. Almost never.
The Great Crested Grebes work hard for their catch - they dive below the surface for about 30 seconds, cover a surprising distance under the water, and only bring up a fish every 10 - 20 dives. This one managed to catch two fish in the space of about half an hour. Nature as it is lived in the wild.

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.
A picture can hardly convey the NOISE and excitement of a dozen Spitfires taking to the air one after the other! This full-frame, uncropped image is of a 1945, RR Griffon 65 engined Mk XVIII which could hit 425mph.
'LF' Spitfires had engine superchargers optimized for low level flight and it was found that removing the wing tips (which could easily be done in the field) allowed a faster role rate at those lower altitudes. Confusingly, not all LF Spitfires flew with 'clipped' wings, and not all clipped wing Spitfires are LF models. A captured FW-190 was found to outperform the then current Mk V Spitfire in most important repects which led to the hasty redesign of Mk Vs to MK IXs with a more powerful engine which went some way to addressing the deficit.

I am incredibly grateful for the donations to help me cover the costs of staying online while I will be in temporary accommodation.
I am incredibly grateful too for your kind thoughts and wishes during this difficult time.
If you want to buy me a coffee or donate to help keep me online to share my photography, you can do so here.
Take care everyone.
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.
A late 1950's Jaguar Mk 9 .. a wedding car running late for the wedding believe you me .. theres a story to tell with this one .

The pilot's face is clearly visible in this shot. Also, just visible through the blue tinted front screen is the circular reflector gunsight. This was, arguably, the most (only?) technically advanced piece of equipment in the aircraft. The gunsight was calibrated or 'harmonised' to show the pilots where his bullets would hit, and took account of the effect of gravity on the bullets (which start to drop as soon as they leave the guns), and the distance the target aircraft would have travelled before the bullets reach it. The pilot had to dial in the estimated distance of the target, and an illuminated circle was projected from a small lamp-holder and lens assembly up onto the circular reflector visible in the picture. The idea was to get the target in the circle - easier said than done. Without an effective targeting system, fighter aircraft were pretty much useless, so this small item of equipment, more than anything, was the very heart of the Spitfire. Spitfire cockpits had a small rack on the right-hand side containing 3 spare bulbs for the gunsight, should one fail in use. I seem to recall being told that the gunsights were 'top secret' and that pilots of downed aircraft were to destroy them to prevent them falling into enemy hands, but looking at some illustrations of the gunsights, they have 'patent' numbers clearly marked on them, so evidently full details were published - so not secret at all!
Despite what we see in movies, Spitfires carried about enough ammunition for only 20 seconds of continuous firing of their guns.
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.

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.

This aircraft is based at Duxford Airfield, previously at the Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar, Biggin Hill, Kent. It wears the authentic markings X4650 / KL-A from 54 Squadron, which it wore when with the Squadron in 1940.
Spitfire X4650 was built to contract 19713/39 by Vickers Armstrong's (Supermarine) Ltd. at Woolston and first test flown on 23rd October 1940. It was delivered to the RAF on 25th October and into the hands of 24 MU at Ternhill. On 14th November 1940 it was taken on charge by 54 Squadron at Catterick, as a result of the crash on 28th December 1940 the aircraft was damaged and it was struck off charge on 4th January 1941.
Seen here taxiing past other aircraft to take off for the Duxford air display.
MY THANKS TO ALL WHO VISIT AND COMMENT IT IS APPRECIATED.
With an expanded boiler capacity and one of the first quantum clocks within it's ticking brain, the Mk IV was to prove a revolution in automaton design.
For my Iron Builder challenge with Kos.
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.
