The girls were playing outside amongst the flowers one late afternoon. They looked so adorable in their flowery dresses, that Veronica, Patch's mum, abandoned the dishes and went out with the camera.
Mum: Girls!
Patch: Yes mum?
Pepper: Yes Mrs Wetherby!
Mum: I only have one photo left on this film. *Holding up the camera.* So please stand still and smile for me.
Patch: Will do.
Pepper: Of course Mrs Wetherby.
They lined up and just as Veronica hit the button, Patch went topsy-turvy.
Mum: Oh Patch!
Patch: Did you get it? Did you get it?! *Excited*
Pepper: Haha, bravo! I wish I could do that.
Mum: *sigh* Yes my little rascal, I got it. But I do want to get your pretty little face in a photo at some point.
Patch: Sure mum. I smiled though. Pepper, I will teach you how to do it, but it takes all you got and you will get dirty.
Pepper: Smashing!

Pepper is trying so hard to become as mischievous as Patch, but she has a long way to go.

Active Assignment Weekly: Fill the Frame
My mischievous, little boy, Patches. Unlike my other cats, he's always unfazed by my presence, even when I'm taking photos of him. Liked it more in black and white.
43172 'Harry Patch' running back to back power cars with 43097 seen at Parsons tunnel with the 0A89 1128 St Phillips Marsh HST depot - Laira 27/10/18. (Taken using a couple of sections of the pole)
Patch and I were enjoying the relaxing sounds of a light rain. (Heavy rain and she's hiding under furniture!)
Playing with a new camera I got from my son. A little Canon EOS M3 mirrorless body and interchangeable lenses. Manual functions. I need to get a viewfinder for it though...not one to look at a screen to take a shot.
Thanks for taking a look
... many other colours were also on offer to the photographer and sightseer. But it was the mid afternoon sunlight that these particular blossoms really shone.
Yellow Patches Mushrooms grow solitary or in groups on the ground in the summer to the fall, in broad-leaved and mixed woods. Noted for preferring hemlock

In our area snow is still covering most of the ground in the middle of March, but there are also patches of snow-free ground here and there.

I think this is Yellow Patch (Amanita flavoconia) mushroom.
Photo taken hand-held. Amazingly, I was able to align and focus stack 9 photos, one of which had to be manually moved and masked. Then, I used a touch of an AI brush to clean up the mess between the focus and out of focus layers. HSS!
CSX local Y-217 was working the west end of Winans Yard in West Baltimore back in 1992. Former Western Maryland Railway GP40 3798 and Baltimore and Ohio GP38 4814 were both looking ragged but nonetheless awesome.
The WM motor went on as Indiana Southern 4041 and the B&O geep is now a rebuilt GP38-3 working for the Wichita Tillman & Jackson Railway after a stint in the lease fleet and work for the Union Pacific.
I&M Rail Link SD40 203, built in 1966 for the Pennsylvania Railroad as their 6069, was leading SD45 382, a former Seaboard Coast Line motor, on train 264 on the Elgin Subdivision at B12 Interlocking in Franklin Park in 1998.
The patched 203 was still wearing Conrail colors and was passed on to the ICE when they took over in 2002.
It has since been scrapped.
This is the Teasel Patch I used to capture all the macros in. It was a good sized patch with many plants easily over 6 foot tall. Lucky for me there were some closer to the ground that still had some flowers on them.
iPhone 4 to capture and iPad 3 to edit.
This photo features the Crimson-patched Longwing (Heliconius erato), taken at the Emerald Valley Nature Center, Lake Yojoa, Honduras. Capturing the vivid red patches against the delicate black wings of this butterfly was a thrilling challenge. The setting provided a lush green background, making the butterfly’s colors pop. I used a slow shutter speed of 1/60 second to capture the fluttering movement of the butterfly, combined with an aperture of f/11 and ISO 800 to ensure a deep depth of field and crisp details. The Canon R5, paired with the RF 100-400mm lens and a 1.4x extender, allowed for an effective focal length of 560mm, essential for this close-up.
From a photographer's perspective, this image highlights the delicate balance between technical settings and the subject's natural beauty. The butterfly, in its later stages of life with parts of its wings worn, tells a story of survival and grace. Emerald Valley is a prime location for butterfly photography, thanks to the conservation efforts led by Robert Gallardo. His dedication to preserving these species is evident in the thriving butterfly population at the nature center.
