Small sandpiper with relatively long, droopy bill (longer on females). In breeding plumage, shows rich rufous tones on shoulders, cheeks, and crown. Nonbreeding is plain pale gray above and white below. Juveniles look pale-faced and have a bright strip of rufous feathers on the upper edge of the wings. Most similar to Semipalmated Sandpiper, which averages shorter-billed and duller grayish-brown overall. Extremely difficult to distinguish in winter; note Western is somewhat larger-headed and more front-heavy. Droopy bill might recall Dunlin, but Western is smaller and paler. Breeds on high Arctic tundra in Alaska. In migration and winter, occurs in large flocks on mudflats and beaches. Much more common in western North America; uncommon to rare on the east coast. Occurs in the winter in the U.S., unlike Semipalmated Sandpiper; regularly winters as far south as Peru, rare to Chile. (eBird)
We missed the shorebird migration by a couple of weeks, so were very pleased to come across this Western Sandpiper on the mudflats.

There are those grey and misty Days
When You're in Need of a colourful Blaze
Always recall your artistic merits
As they can easily lift up Your Spirits
Your creative Skills
Might give you some colourful Thrills
Which are at the End a perfect Way
To escape those grey and dull, misty Days

I've Looked at Life from both sides now; From win and lose and still somehow; It's life's illusions I recall; I really don't know life at all.
We have a very ill family member who is battling cancer. So, I’m listening to Joni Mitchell and thinking about my sister-in-law, Mary. This one's for her.
Sometimes I think we are all guilty of allowing perfection to erode confidence when in the expression of art, in its many, sometimes in fact, its infinite forms, that one is disillusioned until the abridging of expression and allowance of imperfection is somewhat lost, entangled in the needy concentration of being so particular, so acute and if I dare so maddening toward oneself, that the real picture of the moment as was is completely lost.
I took this daytime long exposure and I hated it, so many technical mistakes, unsteady camera, over-exposed, motion blur, blah, blah, blah and more bloody blah. But then I slapped it into Monochrome and instantly I was reminded of the sense of the timelessness, that the moment was trying to convey. After all, was the Heron bothered, does the water stop flowing, does the day stand still, absolutely not. So I was left with a sense of realisation that this is what it is, and therefore, should be allowed to breathe as such.
In reference to Miserere Mei, this is one of my favourite pieces by the Oxford Chamber Choir and this image reminded me of it, I've popped the link down below; anyhow, we're nearly there my friends, I trust everyone has a great weekend, sorry this was so long winded, but as always, thank you! :)

English translation:
Sun grave
Falling asleep I want to go back in time
some years ago
to be a small boy
who likes to play and who is with you
It seems to me a lot of years
I was a boy who wanted to know the world
and I played with you
I´ll get back and wish to be with you
to recall memories
but I have bad news
Dry soil here only
without flowers, without water
kneeling down
I do reverence by rembrance
I say goodbay but something remained
from those days of us
and I know I´ll stay faithful
Dry soil here only
without flowers, without water
kneeling down
I do reverence by rembrance
I say goodbay but something of us remained
from those days
and I know I´ll stay faithful
I can´t sleep and I wake up
and can´t resist the thought
to come back in time some years ago
to be a small boy
who likes to play and who is with you

Make sure you pause to #recall all that is good in life - sunshine, the woods with snow, cats, houseplants, lovely shade of blue paint, and being alive.

Little Flower
I have hidden
Better than anywhere else
In the garden of my heart
A little flower
This flower
Prettier than a bouquet
It secretly keeps
All my childish dreams
And the love of my parents
And all these clear mornings
Made of happy distant memories
When life
At times betrays me
You remain my happiness
Little flower
If I could
Recall my twenties for a moment
To breath
This perfume that I loved so much
In my heart
You will always bloom
In the grand garden of love
Little flower
Take this gift
That I always kept
Even when I was twenty
I have never given it away
Don't be afraid
Plucked from the bottom of one's heart
A little flower
Never dies
St. John the Baptist's Church (15th ct.) in Ribčev Laz on Lake Bohinj, Slovenia
Here, just by chance, we're caught, in the shade
staring, surprised, into eyes of the past
while watching the ducks as they circle the pond
It seems they are hands on a clock sweeping time
where silence is gentler,... because now we are friends
Today, on this bench, lost men will linger,
while waiting for nothing, and no place to go
Once we had claimed this 'our' place to hold hands,
planning a future that never began
Children we were with the world at command
I'm glad we aren't talking in circles, .. like then
Other children are playing in the rust afternoon,
zippered up tight, against winter wind
Talking of children..you tell me there's two
You show me a photo,…then, I share a few
I am all out of bread, as the sun starts to fade
taking away all the stains of the day
East of the bandstand shadows grow long,
falling in corners like memories do
We've learned to know twilight can be bittersweet
And taste what dim recall has only allowed
Goodbyes are said, and you then, kiss my cheek, ..
then you turn and you wave, as you are crossing the street
Left wondering now, where those lost men will go,
it worries my brow, what lost men will eat
A shadow of you, is still left in the park, …
of us holding hands, as it starts to get dark
I leave a few dollars here, on our bench
Checking my watch,… I will leave no regrets.
(While Feeding the Ducks by Carrie Richards)
If I recall, these were the first birds vocalizing as the fallout became evident: small pockets of ‘chebec’ (or tchébec as in the French name) emerging from low branches scattered through the woods. That sound is one of the sweetest early morning sounds, in part because it means one doesn’t have to get into the weeds later with Empidonax identification. That distinctive call saves a lot of pondering.
I like this image in part because the bird was very low - I was kneeling to meet the bird’s eyes - and it shows the accidental beauty of the low and open woods at Point Traverse, at least in the early light. It is a great place to see an event like this, especially with early sun. The succession of the trees in the woodland means that there are young trees, dead trees, and spaces between all of them. And many of the spaces show the birds off very well.
Intense sunset light hits the Pulpit Rock at the head of Portland Bill.
This intense golden light lasted only a few minutes but it was phenomenal. I managed this long exposure before breaking my ND Grad when it slipped from my frozen fingers onto the legendary Portland Stone here!
Believe it or not, but I hadn't posted this frame and found it in my files yesterday. I had posted a portrait standard exposure with this light and overlooked this one!! There was a tremendous amount of seaspray as I recall as it was very windy, so I may have overlooked it as I thought it wouldn't be sharp. But on re-examination I like it!
Some of you may recall I uploaded a panorama last week of the cloud inversion I saw over the poppy fields.
I wasn't terribly happy with that, I took it down in the end and had a fresh look at the photos I took. I was disappointed with them largely, they all looked really washed out and hazy. I think my cheap telephoto lens has seen better days and I may need to invest in a new one. Also having spent more time in the field opposite I had time against me with the light getting brighter so my settings weren't right.
This one looked the best so I have done some serious editing. There were terrible dust spots so this included a complete sky replacement (trying to keep it natural as there wasn't really much of a sky on the day) also endless tweaking with the colours.
I will send off for a print of it to see how it looks.
An ancient medieval village, the historic center of Teggiano (SA) is located on an isolated hill overlooking the Vallo di Diano, in Campania.
The construction of the Norman Castle dates back to the decision of the Sanseverino family to elect Teggiano as their stronghold.
The village houses Churches of great interest: San Michele Arcangelo, the Annunziata, originally Romanesque with baroque overlays, Sant'Agostino and San Pietro, both pre-Renaissance, and the imposing Cathedral of Santa Maria Maggiore.
The historic center develops through streets and squares overlooked by noble palaces that span at least 6 centuries of history: from the Middle Ages to the 18th century.
Teggiano, with Vallo di Diano, has been declared a world heritage site by UNESCO.
An annual event is the "At the table of Princess Costanza" event, during which the village and its inhabitants recall the medieval era.
This splendid historical re-enactment is among the richest and most accurate in Italy.
Built in 1994, it takes place in the Macchiaroli Castle, which historically belonged to the powerful Sanseverino family.
In the three days of the event, the small municipality of Salerno goes back in time, to the days of the conspiracy of the barons who attempted to overthrow the Aragonese who had settled on the throne of the Kingdom of Naples.
The event attracts thousands of visitors every year eager to relive the ancient glories of the medieval era, including local cuisine, music, processions and historical reconstructions of real events, such as the marriage between Costanza da Montefeltro, daughter of the Duke of Urbino Federico, and Antonello Sanseverino, prince of Salerno and lord of Diano; or the siege of Teggiano in 1497 by the Aragonese, which saw around 150 figures perfectly re-enacting the battle with armour, weapons and shows.
------------------------
Antico borgo medievale, il centro storico di Teggiano (SA) si trova su un’altura isolata che domina il Vallo di Diano.
La costruzione del Castello Normanno risale alla decisione della famiglia Sanseverino di eleggere Teggiano a propria roccaforte.
Il borgo custodisce chiese di grande interesse: San Michele Arcangelo, l’Annunziata, originariamente romanica con sovrapposizioni barocche, Sant’Agostino e San Pietro, entrambe prerinascimentali, l’imponente Cattedrale di Santa Maria Maggiore. Il centro storico si sviluppa attraverso vie e piazze su cui affacciano palazzi gentilizi che abbracciano almeno 6 secoli di storia: dal Medioevo al XVIII secolo.
Teggiano, con il Vallo di Diano, è stato dichiarato dall’UNESCO patrimonio dell’umanità.
Appuntamento annuale è l’evento “Alla tavola della Principessa Costanza”, durante il quale il borgo e i suoi abitanti rievocano l’epoca medievale.
Questa splendida rievocazione storica e' tra le più ricche ed accurate d’Italia.
Sorta nel 1994 ha luogo nel Castello Macchiaroli, storicamente appartenuto alla potente famiglia dei Sanseverino.
Nei tre giorni dell’evento, il piccolo comune salernitano torna indietro nel tempo, ai giorni della congiura dei baroni che tentarono di rovesciare gli Aragonesi insediatisi sul trono del Regno di Napoli.
La manifestazione attira ogni anno migliaia di visitatori desiderosi di rivivere gli antichi fasti dell’epoca medievale, tra cucina locale, musica, cortei e ricostruzioni storiche di reali eventi, come il matrimonio tra Costanza da Montefeltro, figlia del Duca di Urbino Federico, e Antonello Sanseverino, principe di Salerno e signore di Diano; o l’assedio di Teggiano del 1497 da parte degli Aragonesi, che vede circa 150 figuranti rievocare perfettamente la battaglia con armature, armi e spettacoli .

When memories of distant places and events begin to blur with the passing years, old passports are great for recall.

One from the blistering heat of last Summer from my trusted balcony. As we're all now shivering, I wanted to bring back some warmth and sunshine to the scheme of things. Had such a wonderful Summer with the plants and flowers in the pots and got some great shots. As for the under shots which I like so much, I think they look so much more in tune with the moment, than the orthodox frontal captures, nothing wrong with that of course but this angle I think looks more alive.
Hope everyone is well, I want everyone to know I appreciate hugely all the faves, comments and the such like and so as always, thank you! :)
I recall I got a letter on a recall, but now I do not recall if I took it in for the recall installation?
I recall using a pay phone but not outside the police station.
I mainly recall using a pay phone in the parking lot of a shopping mall on the edge of Ottawa on nights when the commute home was going to be late. My commute was about an hour through the countryside and, on a good day, fifteen minutes through the city. The fifteen minute part could be an hour or more at times so a quick pull out of traffic to the pay phone at the mall to say I would be late. All before cell phones.

A rain shaft approaches in Saint Charles County, MO, sometime in 2015 or 2016. I don’t recall if this was severe or not. It’s another shot my favorite female offspring was recently able to find and send to me, but there is no original, so please pardon the less than stellar resolution.

When the RCP visited St. John, NB they had a pretty wild power consist. The '70 was rather unfortunate but it was there and at least it was painted to match. I managed to get the eastbound trip with that unit leading the F's crossing Onawa Trestle. The weather for both trips was great. The westbound trip was a cocker, with great light through its entirety. I recall we ran out of light around East Outlet on the Moosehead after starting the day at Lambert Lake. The 95 overhead shot is decent, but the "obstacles" involved with shooting here are usually pretty humorous. So here is an F unit Friday submission with the 1401 leading he westbound trek about to duck under the interstate and what is likely one of the largest crowds to have gathered here, ever.
Continuing with another image from my Colorado trip... This particular time, up Country Road 5 and hiking up to an Aspen grove. I knew I had to shoot this road scene as soon as I saw it. I tried with a 70-200...but it just didn't have the look I wanted, so...a first for me, I pulled out my Bower (Rokinon) 14mm to try a WIDE shot. I can't recall what f-stop I shot it at, but I took 6 shots at different focusing spots to focus stack them in PS. Since I haven't really been able to get out locally for Fall, I'm heading up to the Boone/Blowing Rock area tomorrow evening after work for a couple days. The weather looks to be turning a bit nasty up there tomorrow, but I'm hoping the leaves hang on. Hope everyone's having a great week!
