A lovely 'African daisy'.. 'Osteospermum'..
TGIF.. Have a lovely weekend.. thanks for your visit and any comments left..
- www.kevin-palmer.com - For over 4 hours thunderstorms moved past Devils Tower, which was not even in the forecast. The lightning was difficult to expose for, because some flashes were super bright while others were dim. But this was my favorite shot of lightning jumping out from behind the clouds.
The last section of this cross country ski trail that I was on feels like a natural tunnel with the sunshine filtering through the trees and branches overhead.
Just Hanging Out on the way home, thought I might grab a bite of dinner, oh it seems your low on bird seed, got any more. One of the local raccoons stopped by to raid the bird seed, found in North Carolina
...there may be more tree shots, who knows. Taken with an old Nikkor 55mm, wide open at f2.8, hence very shallow dof, but nice details in the centre
Visited Fishercap Lake in Glacier NP on this particular morning, hoping to see a moose or two before heading back to Calgary. When we arrived, another visitor told us that we just missed a bull moose, so of course we were disappointed. After sitting around for a few minutes, we decided to head back up the road to see if there were any bears out and about. Saw one at a distance and decided we to give Fishercap one last try; I don't give up easily when it comes to moose; LOL!!!!.
Sat around the shoreline, enjoying the beautiful scenery. We were amazed at how calm and peaceful the lake was, as it's generally quite windy at this location. Right about the time we were ready to give up, this bull moose appeared out of nowhere, made his way along the shore opposite us and then eventually made his way closer and closer, feeding on the vegetation in the shallow lake. A perfect ending to a fabulous trip.
Have a great Thursday.....appreciate all the visits and comments!!!!

Hello! Hope you're all well. It's been a couple of months since my last post, with the last throes of my degree course taking up most my spare time and annual leave. Hopefully I'll have chance to start getting out and about with my camera again after my exams in a coupel of weeks (just in time for the worst time of year for cathcing sunrises!).
In the meantime here are a few more from my last outing back in february - a pleasingly misty morning in the Peak District.
I've a page on facebook here - if you like my images please feel free to say hello and follow me on there too. Thank you.
Pittsburgh’s baby owl, Muppet, has begun to branch out. Everyone was wondering would mom and dad would accept her after she was brought back after falling over 100 feet from her nest under the Panther Hollow Bridge?
But dad’s instincts took over and he found Muppet when she was calling out and he fed her. So it looks like for now it is one big happy owl family!!!!
THanks for all the likes and views !!!
Another beauty from Mike's Garden.
Slightly tweaked.
Better viewed large please xx
Explored. Thank you xx

Chinese New Year! In my photographs so far there hasn't been much of an indication of the time of year. Down at the waterfront you couldn't miss it.
Unfortunately, it being the New Year meant that things were shut or otherwise different from normal. Typically the famous Clock Tower at the Kowloon waterfront is lit at night. Not this time...
Another thing you're missing: Right behind us was a small crowd watching the rehearsals for the New Year Parade. I imagine it looked a bit weird; one tourist looking the opposite way entirely.

Hong Kong! Again! After the first time not working out so well (mostly due to my condition) me and my best friend Michael returned to do the bits we missed out on and generally have a few different experiences than before.

Somewhere Out There
Linda Ronstadt
Somewhere out there,
Beneath the pale moonlight,
Someone's thinking of me,
And loving me tonight.
Somewhere out there,
Someone's saying a prayer,
That we'll find one another,
In that big somewhere out there.
And even though I know how very far apart we are,
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star,
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby,
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky!
Somewhere out there,
If love can see us through,
Then we'll be together,
Somewhere out there,
Out where dreams
Come true...
So, after another crazy long and hectic week at work, I needed another weekend so sleep in. But I just had to photograph something...Otherwise I start to shake. A good few years ago I tried a startrail image by taking one single frame for 10 minutes, but I've not since done it. I decided to give it another go, so, on Friday afternoon I headed off down to Bombo after work, and just made it in time for sunset. I took the FG image at sunset at 1/40 sec. The stars were 170 images taken over 1.5 hours at 30sec each, with the camera on continuous shoot mode. For a first time effort I'm happy enough, but I have learned a few valuable lessons.
A: Bring a compass to find EXACT south.
B: Shoot with an F2.8 lens instead of an F4 Super wide (this was a sigma 10-20). This lens is way too soft around the edges...I need a sharper prime methinks.
C: Improve my blending technique on PS.
D: when planning to be in a location on your own for over 3 hours,....bring more than 2 beers to keep you company.
E: Definitely do it again, but in a location where there is little to no fly path (You can see the trails from many many planes heading over the gong. The wife likes them in the shot....I'm not too keen. Also the lights from Kiama caused the glow over the quarry....not ideal, but I knew this would happen.
Anyhow, I was and am still super tired, but I had a ball. Hope you like "Somewhere Out There".....cheers, Mike
Step out onto the planet.
Draw a circle a hundred feet round.
Inside the circle are
300 things nobody understands, and, maybe
nobody's ever really seen.
How many can you find?"

I love that idea! I know you all have to be tiring of the Arches area now so I'm stacking a few and will leave that area for a time ... but I'll always be back as I love the area and I'ts only an hour and a half from my home.
THANKS,
Bev

On 25 June 1985, S&T work is being carried out at Clapham Junction as 'Crompton' 33037 approaches the carriage sidings from Waterloo with empty coaching stock, plus a GUV van, presumably originating from a Southampton Docks-Waterloo boat train service.

VIOLISE Stealth Sniper
Got inspired to build this while sorting out...yes, you guessed it...a giant tub of black pieces! ;-)
Also created LEGO focused Facebook and Twitter accounts where I'll be posting. If interested, links are below.
Taken for the 25/05/20 Macro Mondays theme "Handle"
I'm longing for traveling hence the picture of the suitcase handle.
HMM!
