With apologies, this is a repost of an image I put up last week.
Bit of a saga. It went explore without my noticing, so huge thanks everyone and particularly to those who commented, and sorry for failing to reply!
But when I finally realised, and went to reply to folk, a lightroom update had messed up my whole Flickr stream. I’ve spent the last hour changing previously posted images back to ‘public’, and digging out this one (which had disappeared).
Ho hum.
I can finally proudly announce that Flickr has chosen my image of the red squirrel to be no. 7 in the Top 25 images of 2017!
You can view the other images and how flickr made the Top 25 at the Flickr Blog in the Explore tab.
Thanks everyone for your comments and favs in 2017, I really appreciate your visits!

Repost the photo with background removed suggested by a fellow Flicker photographer. Comments and critiques are always welcome.
Strange. The previous posting received 20 views in the first full hour.
At this rate, I think Flickr will chase all its members away.
I posted another version of this in December,but I think this one is a bit better composed and sharper so thought I would put it up again.
And since I have been doing so little shooting lately I don't have a lot to post anyways!
Reposting an old macro shot from eight years ago, taken with the reverse 50mm technique. this is a bluebell. the stem is perhaps one millimetre in diameter.
Happy Birthday, Rachel! Can't wait for spring to arrive so that we can get out to look for lots of birds. Before then, hopefully we will find a Snowy Owl (or two). Have a happy day!
This photo (a repost) was taken at the Calgary Zoo way back in 2007.
I just accidently found out this photography won the Bedfordshire county section of the Great British Photograph. It's now in the running for the National competition. There is pretty tough competition but it's great to be a finalist :-)

Dante Milano

V (Na treva mais gelada, na brancura)
Na treva mais gelada, na brancura
Mais cega e morta, a vida ainda transluz.
Até de dentro de uma sepultura
Brota um soluço trêmulo de luz,
A luz que sua, a luz que desfigura
As pétalas pendidas nos pauis,
A espuma nos penhascos, fria e pura,
As chamas em seus ápices azuis.
Desalentos, angústias e canseiras
Tornam maior, mais tenebroso o olhar
Que lembra o olhar dos mortos: só olheiras
São existências que se dão inteiras
E sofrem, como o vento, como o mar,
Como todas as coisas verdadeiras.
