Back to what i enjoy doing best, spending some time on my favourite boat filled beach, you just never know what you are going to capture.
Rissa tridactyla
Bempton Cliffs
The Black-legged kittiwake, to give it its proper name, (Rissa tridactyla),Breed on cliffs in the summer months and spend the rest of their time at sea on the Atlantic.
The population is declining in some areas, partly due to a shortage of sandeels as a consequence of overfishing and climate change.
... for a good start to the new week!
Happy Blue Monday!

in a pot in our garden - Frankfurt-Nordend
I inherited this plant, native to Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Argentina, from my mother. She had them at her windowsills as long as I can remember ...
The whole blossom can be seen in first comment:
Borage (herb) is the proper name. Our local garden centre, Greens, is selling packages of plants and compost. So I bought a package and this is one of the plants that came with it. If you google this plant then you will see how good it is for lots of things, apparently ;))

Where is the famous Buffalo winter? So far its performance has been rather underwhelming. Yes, we got the landscape dressed in a thin white layer a few times but it did not last. I know some people don't mind but I do not like looking at green grass and everything else in shades of gray in January ... #etbtsy
Some days it pays to go out and shoot as you never know what you'll get. CP has quickly integrated KCS power on various trains through out their system. Before the merger was approved and CN had a competing bid, I was quietly cheering CP on for my own selfish reasons as CP's roster had become stale to me after they repainted all the 60's and replaced the "good" power with ECO's. I was heading to Newport when I over heard KCS 3952 tone up the dispatcher in Hastings, so I made my way down to Blackbird siding to watch J20 roll by. Unfortunately this would be a one and done situation with solid clouds to the south.
I walked through this valley and it didn't take me that long with being for the most part a relatively flat hike except for the last hundred yards or so back to the parking lot. If you look towards the bottom of the picture and magnify you can catch a couple of people walking across to get a proper sense of scale.
Would like to think i have done what the boats name suggests, the sun was setting behind me and the sky was not as good as this, I'm quite pleased with the final result.
BRC&W class 26 no. 26032 stands at Dingwall with an unidentified southbound service to Inverness.
I would shortly be taking a train up to the most northerly extremity of the UK rail network, Thurso. Hardly the best conditions, as can be seen, and they hardly improved the further north I went with that fine, but quick to drench, Scotch rain. I would eventually take the bus from Thurso to Wick, stay overnight in a B&B, before returning down the other leg of the line from Georgemas Junction.
This has been my only ride to date along the delightful line to the Far North - but repeating it on a DMU somehow just doesn't appeal.

GR III #2: This Wednesday I had my first "proper" photowalk with the tiny Ricoh, albeit a small walk with not too many photos (34 – almost like in the good old film days), because it was more of a family meeting at a small lake (we all wore masks) on the south-western outskirts of Berlin. I had decided to only take the Ricoh with me, in order to make myself a little more familiar with it. The shooting experience certainly is totally different from anything I know from my Olys or even the LX100, and I know that I will need some time to get used to it, but I also know already now that this camera is fun. OK, low light focus was very, very capricious (to say the least), but I also put that – and the fact that I missed quite a few shots – down on not having had figured the correct settings out, yet. I have now configured three different user presets (which, very conveniently, can be accessed via the mode dial), one for macro (not the GR III's designated purpose, I know, but macro is important for me), one for street (for starters, I've decided to experiment with Jpg only in order to check out the many film presets - you can even set up your own), and one for architecture / landscape, and I can't wait to go out again and take pictures ;-)
This photo is another kind of street image, because I found these remains of a birch tree at a residential street near by the above mentioned lake. The little oak sprout that obviously has found a new home within the birch stump caught my eye, I hope it will survive and transform the remnants of that once proud birch into an equally proud oak one day. The background had been a black car, not exactly what I'd call the perfect background, but when I imported the images I realised that the metering setting I should have used for my first Ricoh image posted here on Flickr – the flamingo / Pinoccio flower, please see the second comment, if you like – accidentally must have been my exposure metering setting for the entire walk around the lake: highlight weighted metering ;-) So it was easy to "disguise" the car and to process this image in claire obscure / chiaroscuro style. I hope you like it.
P.S. I know that an oak sprout is not a flower, but I hope that it looks flowery enough for Freitagsblümchen ;-) Happy weekend, dear Flickr friends!
This cairn is one I have regularly rebuilt on each visit......this time, no need as someone has done a great job on it, even providing a seat. August weather....windy, cool, horizontal drizzle....wonderful...not.
Hebden Bridge down in the valley.
We doen er nog eentje bij want het was toch zo mooi herfstlicht!

Tigger is slightly darker than her sister Winnie and she has a dorsal stripe along the spinal column (Squirrels-2021-2296.jpg)
Uminokuchi community is located several km south of Nakatsuna-ko. The snow fields in front become rice paddy in April.
Uminokuchi (海ノ口) means "mouth of lake" as it is where the Nougu-gawa river that flows out of Nakatsuna-ko flows into Lake Kizaki-ko.
Snowfall gets less and less as you move southward to the Oomachi city proper.
This photo was taken from the window of a train on the Oo-Ito railway line.
Like three years ago, starting the new season with a wonderful and enchanting Hubble's Variable Nebula (NGC 2261)
Previous approach: www.flickr.com/photos/olegbr/8552071862/in/dateposted/
I wanted to personally check whether it still variable ...
It was found that this is so :)
Here animation L-channel 200%: olegbr.astroclub.kiev.ua/files/astrofoto/NGC2261/NGC2261_...
Of course, 3 years - a very large interval for observing the changes in the nebula. Everything is much faster: www.umanitoba.ca/science/astronomy/cbrown/imaging/hvn/ana...
In 2013-2016 animation, I drew attention to the star just above the nebula, which is for 3 years significantly shifted to the right.
To heighten the effect, combined with the current picture image DSS., For about 60 years, the offset is already pretty decent. olegbr.astroclub.kiev.ua/files/astrofoto/NGC2261/NGC2261_...
Here www.astrosurf.com/mcianci/ngc2261.html Italian colleague calculated that the proper motion (proper motion) of the star 0.2" per year. The name is NLTT 16798 and is listed as High Proper Motion Star: simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=NLTT+16798
Explanation: What causes Hubble's Variable Nebula to vary? The unusual nebula pictured above changes its appearance noticeably in just a few weeks. Discovered over 200 years ago and subsequently cataloged as NGC 2661, the remarkable nebula is named for Edwin Hubble, who studied it earlier this century. Hubble's Variable Nebula is a reflection nebula made of gas and fine dust fanning out from the star R Monocerotis. The faint nebula is about one light-year across and lies about 2500 light-years away towards the constellation of Monocerotis. A leading variability explanation for Hubble's Variable Nebula holds that dense knots of opaque dust pass close to R Mon and cast moving shadows onto the reflecting dust seen in the rest of the nebula.

I haven't been here for a while, waiting for proper winter conditions.
I always loved the shape of the Blondin support tower, the aerial ropeway system that lifted carts of slate out of the bottom of the quarry. I'm not sure where the other end was secured to on the opposite side of the quarry but it must have had equally substantial fixings.
There are some climbers, slightly below centre of this shot.
