We rarely get fog....as a matter of fact ...we are well known for our hours of sunlight and are actually the sunniest city in Canada.
In the winter months, of course, we only see about 3 to 4 hours of sunlight... but, we usually see it ... with brilliant blue skies as well...
Not yesterday. Visibility was only about 1/2 a block for driving....
I trotted out with my camera to try for a few foggy day shots... to my usual golf courses...
After only about 5 minutes here my fingers were good and cold.... no gloves on... I didn't think it would be that bad as it was only -7C....but, it felt colder...
Got back into the car and had to sit for a bit before I could even make them work well enough to drive.
The snow was not really snow ...it has been warm enough for some melting several times and so it has re-frozen and what looks like nice white snow is deadly slippery solid ice. I picked my way around very carefully and got the heck off there....

Rarely ever find mantises anymore and the ones I do find are skittish and never let me get close to them, so it was good to finally get a quality shot of one that decided to corporate
Rarely Clicked
Pseudopodoces is somewhat similar in appearance to the unrelated ground jays (Podoces) but much smaller – about the size of a house sparrow (Passer domesticus) – and lacks any conspicuous markings. More strongly however, it resembles a wheatear (Oenanthe) in habitus, but lacks black feathers and has a strong and slightly downcurved bill resembling that of a chough (Pyrrhocorax) in shape (though not in colour). Its soft, lax body plumage is extremely cryptic in its natural habitat. The underside is a greyish-fawn in colour, with a tawny hue. The upper parts are mostly a darker fawn-brown, with the central rectrices and the primary remiges a little darker still; the head is colored like the underside, with a darker cap and light nape patch, somewhat reminiscent of some tits and chickadees, especially those from the genera Parus sensu stricto and Periparus. The bill, legs and feet are black. Males and females look alike.
The voice is described as a plaintive whistling, cheep-cheep-cheep-cheep and it also has a two syllable finch-like call
Rarely used part of the rail systems in rural Nova Scotia. One line runs directly into a concrete production facility.
I am going to do something today I rarely do--a large upload of six photos, all of this year’s Red-Shouldered Hawk chicks from the pair I’ve been watching over a decade. Those of you who have followed me will remember the previous years’ encounters, especially the time they attacked me. Posting all six will also take my Birds IV album to 500 photos and a good way to close it out. (I cap my albums at 500 . . . easier to work with.) I’ve not spent a lot of time at the nest this year because of my previous complaints about the homeless and junkies, but I have been down there a lot this week, and Thursday got a few good shots of one of the parents. I wanted to catch everyone up on this year’s observations and brood.
Thinks it's being sneaky watching me . . .
Thanks for Viewing.
Though I love the yellows, reds and oranges... dandelion white is also a fall "color". I so rarely use my 50mm f 1.8 lens... this seemed to call for it.
I rarely do anything except birds...and my kitties. Elliot was focused on this insect he thought was a Bee Fly but it wouldn't come close. I took a few shots at a distance for him. Then it came close and he got the shot he wanted. I just like the proboscis coming down for the Amsinckia (fiddleneck) flower in this shot.
This is 600mm Macro! :)
I rarely see Eared Grebe's in breeding plumage. And then when I do, the neck is not upright like this one. In fact, I didn't know they had such a long neck. So this was a fun shot for me.

I rarely use a panoramic aspect ratio but sunsets sometimes call for an exception to my habits. My home-town, Prince Rupert, still has amongst the best sunsets in the world. Keefer Lake has the best sunrises ... I am a lucky man.
These types of images have become a bit of a cliché but ... for good reason I think?
*** I will be away for a short while and will catch up with your postings on my return. ***
Rarely do these beauties pause for very long with their wings fully open--- but the color is a delight to see when they do.
Gypsum is rarely found in the form of sand because it is water-soluble. Normally, rain would dissolve the gypsum and carry it to the sea. The Tularosa Basin is enclosed, meaning that it has no outlet to the sea and that rain that dissolves gypsum from the surrounding San Andres and Sacramento Mountains is trapped within the basin. Thus water either sinks into the ground or forms shallow pools which subsequently dry out and leave gypsum in a crystalline form, called selenite, on the surface. Groundwater that does flow out of the Tularosa Basin flows south into the Hueco Basin. During the last ice age, a lake known as Lake Otero covered much of the basin. When it dried out, it left a large flat area of selenite crystals which is now the Alkali Flat. Another lake, Lake Lucero, at the southwest corner of the park, is a dry lake bed, at one of the lowest points of the basin, which occasionally fills with water.

I rarely get time to go for their shows but was working till morning on Saturday so got to catch them and by the end of the show i was like.. WHAT TIME IS IT NOW ! and went back to work.. Be sure to catch BAPBOYZ in shows across SL.
I rarely ask people if I can take their photograph. I think it's because I worry the answer will be no and I don't want to bother them. Sometimes, I actually feel a little wrong trying to capture beauty and find answers in the world without permission, too. But, I do like primarily unposed gestures and facial expressions as well.
There's also a weird thing I have noticed where men want me to take their photo (even asking me to half the time) and women do not. Women seem more excited when men want to take their photo, I've noticed, which is a bit strange to me.
Anyhow, still not fully caught up on sleep from my flight back but here was a good human moment with this woman and her cute dog on her first floor balcony in Crete.

I rarely post people in my photos, but I couldn't resist these two angels picking out the perfect flower with such concentration. They were precious to me. I realize it isn't a great photo for quality - and it was taken hastily, but when something makes you smile, you must share it!
Rarely possible.
There are no commercial tower tours of Wetzlar Cathedral.
Only if you know people from the parish and there are special occasions.

So, I rarely get to say this but... sooc! I didn't know how to edit this without taking away its natural beauty, so I didn't bother. I resized it though. So, not really sooc, lol. Just blown up there's tons of noise. Mhm.
It's funny how this picture came to be... everything just sorta happened, ha.
I am happy. I love to end weekends like this... happy. And I still have youth group, woo. <3
I rarely ever get Sandhill Crane shots, usually at a great distance. My best shots have been with them flying overhead, but I've always wanted a better land shot. Yes, I still want to see them dancing. I'd love to see the babies. But I'm not complaining, this is one of the best views I've had of the crane. I observed it eating plant material and a small fish.
I rarely manage to photograph Buzzards perched in trees, certainly not as close as this individual. I took this by the River Dearne near my home in West Yorkshire.
I rarely take photos of cars at shows that have their hoods/bonnets open but I liked how the open panel reflected the crowd at the show.
Similar to how Caroll Shelby fit an American Ford V-8 into a British AC roadster to develop the Cobra, his company also did a similar application onto the Sunbeam Alpine to develop the Tiger model. Interestingly, it was the Ford 260 cubic inch Windsor V-8 initially for both models. Whereas the Cobras were finished by and ultimately sold as Shelby cars, the Sunbeam Tiger was finished by Jensen.
I rarely post more than one photo at a time but I came across this image which had a green tint on the edge of the feathers so I did some more work to remove it.
Although this bird is found in patches throughout South Africa this one was photographed in London Zoo.

I rarely shoot and even less frequently post images of this very common local subject, the Canada goose.
However, sometimes common beauty is worth posting. In this case, I really liked both the formation and lighting in the image.
The moral of the story is sometimes beauty is right close to home so always keep your eyes open.

I rarely photograph this relatively-common globular springtail species these days. I seem to have "graduated" onto much smaller species. It was the smaller stuff that I was set-up for today, but this large (~1.6 mm) Dicyrtomina saundersi came wandering into view. I took two shots and "blended" them in PSE.
Rarely seen this sight in Cannock Chase but as the weather drop to minus and the mist overtaken the entire road and forest
Rarely we get chance to click both male and female together on a same perch with kill .
Can you guess which one is male and which one female ?
Black backed kingfisher
Rarely has the guardian of something reached levels of popularity comparable to what is kept, although in this case the image says it all.
I very rarely see a yellow-belled sapsucker in my garden but did this morning on the trunk of my winged sumac tree and was able to get this fairly decent photo.

These beauties rarely ever reveal themselves to me, so even though the lighting conditions were not ideal for a great shot, I took his portrait anyhow. This one has only a little red on his head, I've seen some with completely red heads. Maybe that's age related? Or diet related, like the red in House Finches? They have a beautiful song, reminiscent of that of an American Robin or a Black-headed Grosbeak. And this guy sang for me! (Well, probably for his lady love, but I can pretend it was for me).

I rarely use my 100-400mm zoom lens, it's hard to use in Copenhagens narrow streets. This is one of the few photos I have ever shot using the lens. I also used the Tiffen Black Pro Mist filter 1/4 for this photo. The photo was shot from a parking house in Ørestaden, an area outside Copenhagen.

As you may have noticed, I rarely have a problem sharing things that are on my mind with you. But today I'm going a lot further.
Today I give you an insight of a completely different kind. For once, this is not a photo that I took myself. That would have been extremely difficult, even with my technique.
My ophthalmologist took this photo of my eye as part of a check-up earlier this week (I think this is the left one).
For those who are interested, here is a brief introduction to the structure of my eye.
The veins and arteries are easy to identify, I think. The bright spot in the middle is my optic nerve, the connection from my eye to my brain. My macula, i.e. the point with which I see the sharpest (for all photographers - the sweet spot) is the slightly darker area to the right of it.
Except that the optic nerve is a bit enlarged (I probably look too much because I'm so curious) everything is as it should be.
Wie Ihr vielleicht schon bemerkt habt, habe ich selten ein Problem damit, Dinge mit Euch zu teilen, die in mir vorgehen. Doch heute gehe ich noch ein ganzes Stück weiter.
Heute gewähre ich Euch einen Einblick der ganz anderen Art. Dies ist ausnahmsweise einmal kein Foto, welches ich selbst gemacht habe. Das wäre auch mit meiner Technik auch extrem schwierig gewesen.
Dieses Foto hat mein Augenarzt im Rahmen einer Vorsorgeuntersuchung am Anfang der Woche von meinem Auge gemacht (ich glaube dies hier ist das linke).
Für alle die es interessiert, hier eine kleine Einführung in den Aufbau meines Auges.
Die Venen und Arterien sind, denke ich, leicht zu identifizieren. Der helle Fleck in der Mitte, ist mein Sehnerv, also die Verbindung von meinem Auge zu meinem Gehirn. Meine Makula, also der Punkt mit dem ich am schärfsten sehe (für alle Fotografen - der sweet spot) ist der etwas dunklere Bereich rechts davon.
Außer, dass der Sehnerv etwas vergrößert ist (ich kuck wahrscheinlich zu viel, weil ich so neugierig bin) ist übrigens alles so, wie es sein muss.
This is the photo that started the conversation with questions that perhaps can't be answered. I've always liked and hated this shot. The larger Blue-eyed Darners are known to perch in a vertical position and, in 11 years, I've managed to capture just one of these three-inch beauties. It's funny that I was able to catch five of these in flight with an SX10 in 2010, but never just resting.
But the question came up, should I Photoshop all the grass out or would that be cheating? Opinions varied and still do. My problem was that I've never learned Photoshop, and although I think it's fantastic what can be done with the software, I also think there's a limit as to what changes can be made.
Besides, I have a mid-level software program which I use for some edition. Certainly cropping. Maybe a little contrast, but I rarely touch the color. Guaranteed that my Cardinal Meadowhawk is the brightest red you've ever or I've ever seen.
Over the years, I diddled with this shot. The only thing I could do is put a vignette around it, but that still left most of its habitat. I actually started the summer of 2019 trying to find another perched as this, but no luck. So, like it or not, here's my one and only Blue-eyed Darner Mosaic (aka, Mosaic Darner) in all its grassy splendor.
An alternative picture of Lochan na h-Achlaise adjacent to the A82 trunk road which travels through Glencoe. The traditional picture shows the Black Mount in the distance but on this rare occasion of flat calm the reflections were just too good not to photograph!

Pips rarely stands still out at the lake, but there's that 2 seconds where she does her pause to drip dry - well, sometimes !
I am not close to her at this point, so the scenery fades in the background, which I haven't yet mastered with the DoF.
Appreciate any advice…
Also, once again apologies and promises to catch up with you, as the last few weeks have been mostly spent flat on my back, which is such a waste of precious time :( ..
I have rarely used my Rolleiflex MX Automat (f3.5 Tessar) in the last few years, and that's a shame, really. It's capable of making very good images. But finding a sweet spot to get the best it can do is a bit tricky, since that Tessar lens isn't the sharpest thing ever made, and it performs best at around f11 (for me). Finding a good film+developer combo is key to getting good photos from the camera, so I have tested a variety of films and developers over the last month to see what I like best.
This photograph was made with Kodak Tmax 400 developed in Pyrocat HD, so it matches up a very sharp film and an acutance developer, which made for a pretty decent result. Not bad at all for a 75 year old camera.
Rarely a trickle of water flows, but when there is water, it flashes a flush as agriculture diverts groundwater, hard pavement and culvert directs rain,.
I rarely encounter Roe Deer where I live in the Pennines, and the occasional ones I do see always seem to be females without antlers. But this morning I was out for a walk on the moors and I noticed a Roebuck about 100m away, but on the other side of a drystone wall. He was moving towards me so I crouched and waited until I could hear him rustling in the dead grass nearby. I peered over the wall, and there he was face-to-face with me just a few metres away, but just for a second, before he bounded off. Having waited for years to capture a Roe Deer with antlers I couldn't believe my luck getting one closer than any encounter with a truly wild deer.
Rarely do I get to do street photography, or garden photography as it were .... but right off I ran into two friends there together, two painters, painting this gorgeous place. So I took shots and painted my shots. Can't paint like they can, but how fun for me. This is back in March. I had their contact information so I could send them photos ... but a hard year and I've long ago lost the information.
Anyway a painter in Kraft Azalea Garden, Winter Park, FL. How fun for me!
Just another frame of this scene I like at a rarely shot location.
The dusk is enveloping the scene as Reading and Northern Railroad train WHFF (West Hazleton Fast Freight) works south on their overnight turn to North Reading and back. The four unit consist of three SD40-2s and a lone SD50M led by snoot nosed RBMN 3058 (blt. Mar. 1978 as UP 3426) is curling through Ryan's Cut at MP 109 on modern day RBMN's Hazleton Line which diverges from the mainline at Haucks. Historically this trackage was the Reading Railroad's Catawissa Branch that once reached west via Lofty Tunnel another 95 miles to the far western edge of the system at Newberry Junction where connections were made with the New York Central and Erie-Lackawanna.
But those days are gone and the old RDG ends about a half mile behind the train where they came south off a section of new trackage built in 1989 called the Lofty Connection which joined the ex RDG with the former Lehigh Valley Delano Secondary and provided access to the concentration of ex LV lines around Hazleton. This 1.5 mile line connected the two routes that never had a historic physical connection and opened up a direct north-south thru route to Reading for the first time in history. It took some time to buid up but when the RBMN took over serving the busy and growing Humboldt Industrial park the connection finally began to prove its worth as illustrated by this nightly 'Fast Freight.'

It rarely happens in good light, and it is a plan that fails as often as it succeeds: spot some shorebirds moving along the shore of the Ottawa River, hope they keep moving 8n their current sweeping direction and then lie down and hope stillness is its own camouflage. This Least Sandpiper, coming out of breeding colours, was diligent and patient and gave me some great looks.
