A play on the word beautiful as we drove to bude one windy morning. The wind blew sand across from the dunes hitting us full in the face. Jonathan got sand in his eyes and a while before he could drive after it and had to use our flask of water and the cup to wash his eye the best he could. We did get a little walk near the chalets and went onto the high street to buy yet another cornish pasty - as you do when on holiday in Cornwall...and I took a few photos but impossible to walk the beach. The strength of the wind was tremendous so would not dare walk a cliff edge that day...
I decided on a diptych instead of two seperate square crops but jonathan just told me it looks odd to him -alack alas after going
to the trouble to make it I shall leave it to stand or fall....
Bude (/bjuːd/; Cornish: Porthbud) is a seaside town in north east Cornwall, England, in the civil parish of Bude-Stratton and at the mouth of the River Neet (also known locally as the River Strat).
Only a small river flows into the ocean at Bude but it is quite rare as there are few that flow north into the sea along this stretch of coast
Bude is a seaside resort on the north Cornish coast, a few miles south of the boundary with Devon. But until around 1820 it didn't exist as a town. It came into existence because of the unusual qualities of the local sand. It is high in calcium carbonate (lime) which was once used as a fertiliser for farmers' fields. A canal (seen on the left) and harbour - at the end of the canal - were built to export the sand and also to transport it inland so that it could be more easily delivered to farmers. A small town grew up around the harbour. And then later in the 19th century the railway arrived. This not only led to the canal being made virtually redundant but also opened up the town to visitors. And so a seaside resort was born. Parts of the canal are still open to visiting boats. But, needless to say, the railway itself is now long gone. On the left we can see excess water from the canal draining into the River Neet, on the right.
Huge Black Bear (Ursus americanus) fishing from the shore at low tide on the Inside Passage of Alaska at Neets Bay. It is drooling from the oily fish it was tasting. The Bears, once they get satiated, keep on trying to catch a female so they can feast on roe.

Black Bear (Ursus americanus) prowling on the tidal flats at Neets Bay on the Inside Passage of Alaska.
Large Black Bear (Ursus americanus) hunts for salmon that might have been trapped in tidal pools by the outgoing tide on the flats at Neets Bay in Alaska. Neets Bay never disappointed as there is a fish hatchery there and wherever there is a hatchery, there seemed to be lots of bears because the spawning salmon would run right up to the hatchery.
… I woaß es neet.
Das ist MEIN neuestes Werk.
ES ist sooo komplex, dass ES nur die wenigsten erkenna kinna.
ES ist eine Doppelbelichtung zweier HDR-Bildlen.
I ho ja zwoa Butler …
Die Inspiration kam MIR unter der Dusche,
und da hab I sofort MEINE zwoa Butler befohlen,
MEINE Idee auszuführen.
Der eine hat abgedrückt, der andere die Bearbeitung ausgeführt,
wie ICH sie ihm dirigiert hab.
Das WERK ist in warmen Tönen gehalten,
… wegen der Kälte zur Zeit draußen -
und weil die Dusche so scheee warm war …
Wer Augen hat, der sehe! … sog I !!!
.PANORAMA. Constructed from 10 Vertical images stitched together in Microsoft Composite Editor ;- Looking towards the confluence of the River Neet and the Bude Canal, with Summerleaze Beach, and beach huts in the centre and onto Summerleaze Crescent.

Bude is a Cornish Seaside town on the north coast of the county - and is famous for its Summerleaze and Crooklets beaches.
The River Neet is a tributary of the River Strat which reaches the sea at Bude,The main river stems of the two rivers meet below the village of Marhamchurch, to the South of Bude, and enter the Bude Canal before rejoining the original channel over a wear. The two rivers rise from the farmlands of North Cornwall before meeting at Marhamchurch, then flowing northwards, over Summerleaze beach and into the sea.
In 2005 the canal, whilst only the sea lock was still in working order, major plans to restore at least part of the canal were approved, with several million pounds worth of Heritage Lottery, Objective One and Development Agency funding promised. The project, which was supposed to start in 2007 and be completed in 2009, was moderately successful in opening up the first two miles of the canal, although storm damage in early 2008 caused major setbacks. It is now possible to traverse this part of the canal by boat, canoe or kayak and to walk beside it along the original towpath, now renovated and suitable for wheelchairs.
The canal is a haven for wildlife both in the town and in the upper reaches, and an angler's paradise.
Restoration is still a work in progress, but more and more of the route is being opened up to the public and returned to its former glory.
After seeing Neet, Jennie & Markos shots from the weekend at this wizmycal location i was talking to Neet about my trip there a while back with Claire and had mentioned i took a few IR Shots with my cheapo Sony P93 Cybershot compact that was converted full time to 630nM. She said she hadnt seen the shot i mentioned on Flickr which made me realise i had only ever put it on Facebook. So, i thought i'd upload it :D I had originally meant to take shots with my D5000 and Hoya R72 but the weather was rubbish by the time we got there so i just snapped away with the P93 which is so much less hassle :)
Claire had never been before and had one of those looks when i told her we'de be climbing up the 'rock face' like steps nearest to the Once Brewed YMCA Hostel :D We stopped under the tree and had a lovely little picnic while all manner of Nationalities passed us on their rambles. There were even walkers with babies on their backs scaling the steps! :)
Anyway as we left to walk around the side route this time :) i took this shot of the Sycamore tree made famous in the Robin Hood movie. Ive only been here twice, the first time was in pitch black with Dru & Mick for some failed astro shooting thanks to clouds and -4 temps fogging our lenses! I would love to carry on the walk to Vindelanda and the other spots along the wall in the future :)

Now is the time of year when the nasal calls of the Red-breasted Nuthatches resonate through the trees. Fledgling, Salmon Creek, Washington
Black Bear (Ursus americanus) honing in on a fish as it fends for food along the shoreline of Neets Bay, Alaska. The fin of the fish it catches is pointed out by the red arrow.
I'm finding it more difficult to hand hold my 100-400 lens without some lens blur. I found out that, even though I'm missing a part, my mono-pod (by Manfrotto, with Manfrotto ball head) is still quite serviceable. I recently put my feeder back up on my deck (after HOA restrictions were lifted). The Red-breasted nuthatches are quite irritated by my presence on the deck, and scold me with a nasal "neet, neet, neet," before feeding.
Black Bear (Ursus americanus) having his pick of Chum Salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) that have been trapped in a shallow pool by the outgoing tide at Neets Bay, Alaska. The Chum or Dog Salmon drow teeth and develope those maroonish stripes during their final run in life, the spawn.
Salmon carcasses litter the shoreline where a satiated Bear, still wanting to fish, will taste a fish to see if it is a female with roe. If not, it will let it go. This results in wounded fish that then become prey for the many Bald Eagles that gather for this food source.

A really large Black Bear (Ursus americanus) was out in the open scavenging the tidal flats at Neets Bay in Southeast Alaska. The outgoing tide trapped salmon in pools where any hunting bear had its pick.
Neets Bay Black Bear (Ursus americanus) with a huge Chum Salmon(Oncorhynchus keta). The slamon were on their spawning run and were caught in a tidal pool which made easy pickings for the bear. Apparently this bear had been in a fight as it has a nasty gash above it's right eye. Image taken on the Inside Passage of Alaska.
Large Black Bear (Ursus americanus) standing in the shallow water of a Neets Bay tidal pool as it gnaws on an old salmon carcass probably left by another bear. The tidal pools trap fish at low tide which attracts bears to the easy pickings. Image taken in Alaska

Chum or Dog Salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) making his way up Neets Creek as it fulfills its last calling in the life cycle of a salmon, the spawning run. Image taken in Alaska. The Chum growns grotesque teeth as it returns from the sea and starts its journey upstream, guided by smell and the earth's magnetic lines, to the place of its birth.
