N465 heads through Moriac with the second Southern Cross bound service from Warrnambool as 8862.
With the introduction of a new timetable in mid-April 2025, all locomotive hauled services to Warrnambool have been replaced by Vlocity DMU railmotors, leaving Swan Hill to be the last line serviced by locomotive hauled passenger trains in the state of Victoria.

A Green-winged Teal swam swiftly downstream until it ran into a beaver lodge, made a sharp U-turn, and swam swiftly upstream. I'm glad I got a shot of it all! I also got a shot of his lady love, which I will post at a later date.
This lovely fishing boat, named Aquaholic, was coming home after a fine, cool but calm day on Port Phillip Bay.
Mordialloc Beach near the Marina. A beautiful day to wander beside the sea and watch all the hopeful fishermen off the Mordialloc Pier and see the boats come home.
I noticed my Android Flickr app has rolled back to the old format today. I know Apple users had this roll-back weeks ago. A big failure with the new site!
Late day view along Middle River on this pretty Fall day. Was able to be outside without a heavy jacket.
This drake ring-necked duck was one of a flock at Lake Artemesia and he seemed quite content to just swim along as I snapped away. I captured this image while I was checking out how well my 2.x TC was working after I put it through lensalign calibration.
With the waters freezing up here now, I'm left with fewer birds and sunny days, so I'll be pulling a lot from the "archives" as we move through the winter.

A glimpse into motoring over a century ago — the 1912 Wolseley M5 is a fine example of early British engineering. Lightweight and elegantly proportioned, it reflects Wolseley’s dedication to craftsmanship and reliability in the pre-WWI era. With its 4-cylinder engine and carefully constructed chassis, the M5 was designed for practical everyday driving while capturing the spirit of innovation and adventure that marked the early days of the automobile.

Trout just had to have one more spin around the house on the awesome motorcycle! Now she can travel to her new daddy in a happy state!
My old favorite regional park has really changed in the 2 years since I've been working at one of the other parks. Lots of construction has changed access to some of the parking areas and therefore to some of my favorite spots. So, needless to say, I've missed some of the scheduled bird life. The cattails and reeds have filled in some of my favorite little places for babies and interactions as well. I persevered on this cloudy morning, which in fact brought a surprise light shower. All that said, I spotted this old favorite chugging along to disappear in the reeds again. I might add the unnecessary high ISO - I failed to respond to the sky lightening up after the shower.
SPEEDHUNTERS: Guest Blog >> 786 Motoring
I was recently contacted by Linhbergh to do some shooting for Speedhunters along with Costas, another photographer from Houston, Texas.
I was really excited to have this opportunity. I love Speedhunters - they are more in tune with the automotive enthusiast than most automotive publications. They are way ahead of the curve. Not only that, but Linhbergh is one of my favorite automotive photographers and a huge personal inspiration.
The photoshoot went extremely well, and I met some awesome people. The 786 Motoring guys are super down to earth and have some amazing cars. They aren't necessarily the fastest, or the most show worthy cars... but they have street presence and style that you don't see very often.
The only downside was that I didn't get a chance to shoot with Costas - maybe next time, I was really looking forward to it. He is a super friendly and talented guy.
The two photos I've included are my two favorites from the shoot - click the link to see the entire blog, with even more eye candy!
ARRIVA Buses Wales ADL Enviro 400 4403 - J300 ABW sets off from Rhyl on route 51 to Denbigh, Lenten Pool. This was taken after the Beast from the East had begun to make its presence felt, but before it unleashed its full force, with parts of Wales being particularly hard hit.

Taken with a Sony A7R and a non-Ai Nikkor 105mm f/2.5 lens (the K version with the Gauss optical formula). As you might imagine, this setup is quite heavy. If you’re a hard-core Nikon film camera buff, you probably know all about this classic Nikon camera and its accessories. If not (or you need a refresher), then read on: the MD-3 was the motor drive aimed at advanced amateurs with a lower frame advance rate compared to the pro-oriented models. In combination with the MB-2 battery pack which holds eight AA batteries, you had to be an ardent amateur to carry this combination for non-paying photography. The rechargeable ni-cads of the MB-1 battery pack have long since gone kaput so as it turns out, decades later, the MB-2 wins for longevity.
