I love lurking in the swampy forest where beavers keep felling mighty trees and where eerie silence is not really silent at all.
I hear strange noises in the fog and I know I am not alone there.

Gyles' Quay is an isolated stretch of beach located 1 km south of the R173/R175 road in County Louth, Ireland. It was named after Ross Gyles who built a wood structure there in 1780. It was later rebuilt in stone in 1824 and survives to this day.
The long isolated beach with accessible hinterland made it very attractive to smugglers who used the beach for importing wine and tobacco. In 1823 the authorities constructed a coastguard watch station to limit the illegal imports. Today tourists are drawn to the area for the long beach expanse and the caravan park located overlooking the area.

It was our first day back from vacation, and Shyla's tired look reflected how we both felt!
More years ago than I care to remember, 'Semmy Trailer' and I arrived at a bus garage in Ely to collect the last two of Premier Travel's AEC's. 'ST' had bought them in his capacity as a dealer and my Knotty Bus operation was going to hire them. WEB 411T was the final AEC Reliance bought new by Premier after a relationship with the type which stretched back over many years. Like many an enthusistic AEC operator their hand had been forced into trying something different by British Leyland's closure of the Southall plant in 1979.
411 served well in Stoke on Trent but was perhaps the least exciting of the five ex PT coaches I ran. Eventually she and her sisters were puchased by Knotty and passed with the business when I sold the operation to DA Travel. Upon closure of the latter barely six months later, I re-acquired the slightly stripped 411 for intended preservation ... and from that day to this it's languished in a barn awaiting it's new dawn.
At the time of collection above, The Plaxton Supreme IV 'Express' bodied WEB 411T wore the livery of Miller's of Cambridge, an company who'd also been acquired by those who bought the Premier business.
It's spring time here in Alberta and the apple tree in our backyard is full of beautiful buds and flowers.
A smile to start the week with :))

Caernarfon Castle (Welsh: Castell Caernarfon) is a medieval building in Gwynedd, north-west Wales. There was a motte-and-bailey castle in the town of Caernarfon from the late 11th century until 1283 when King Edward I of England began replacing it with the current stone structure. The Edwardian town and castle acted as the administrative centre of north Wales and as a result the defences were built on a grand scale. There was a deliberate link with Caernarfon's Roman past – nearby is the Roman fort of Segontium – and the castle's walls are reminiscent of the Walls of Constantinople.
Dakota, Minnesota And Eastern 6070 leads a westbound manifest train right down the middle of the road. The little old fashioned sleepy town of Belleview Iowa.
Actually just outside Milledgeville,IL. The couple that set up this display-it is lit at night,which would probably make a much better pic- bought the giraffes from a lady near Oregon, IL. who used them for a Noah's Ark display many years ago. He actually caught some of the local teens trying to ride them, thus the need for the lights....
Used the ef300 F4L IS USM with the X2 III extender on the 5D3, found that AF with the extender is *glacially* slow, completely useless for trying to catch smaller flighty birds but big slow ones like this - it's (almost) adequate. Keeper rate is truly dismal regardless of lens used.
The combination of frequent image degradation on my L tele primes + AF braking *massively* restricts the usability of the x2 III extender.
The EC picnic is always the highlight of the summer and this one was no exception. The cherry on the sundae so to speak was getting to meet Robyn and Lorraine. I have never met such an enjoyable couple. I will never forget this day.
This coyote has zeroed in on a vole. It's actually leaping a few feet below what we see here and goes out of sight, in the next frame or two. It does get the vole.
I posted a shot of these spent pods a while ago in autumn and found this one starting to grow. I liked the way the petals gradually pop out of the pods.
Slighted processed for sliders Sunday.

Tamsin informed me that she needs to get out more.
Giving the ADAD project a bit of a rest, but I'm missing the challenges already.
