7:30am. After a restless night fighting mosquitos, I awoke at 4am to start my drive to Alaska. Several hours into the drive, I saw a rainbow developing in the distance. It continued to build into a beautiful double rainbow. I hoped to get a shot between the trees. Rounding a corner, I was greeted with the most spectacular view I had seen in recent memory.
This is probably a once in a lifetime shot for me.
this was George's chair, where he slept away the summers of his life. I miss him more outside than in, because when I went out into the garden, he would so often be there with me inspecting what I did in his territory.
The blurriness of the leg was probably caused by the shallow depth of field, but it implies motion, so that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
The Restless Flycatcher is found throughout eastern mainland Australia as well as in southwestern Australia.
The characteristic hovering action of a foraging Restless Flycatcher is quite distinctive. Its body is arched with its head and tail pointing downwards, with tail spread and wings quivering rapidly. In this manner, the bird plucks insects and other small invertebrates from the outer foliage of trees or shrubs while giving its distinctive churring ‘scissor-grinder’ call. When not hovering, the Restless Flycatcher perches on stumps and fence posts with its tail continually swept from side to side and its small crest erect.
The Restless Flycatcher has a glossy blue-black head, with a small crest, and is white below, from the chin to the undertail, with a blue-black bill surrounded by bristles. The back wings and tail are darker grey and there may be a slight orange-brown tint on the breast. Young birds are duller grey-black above, with the throat and breast washed orange-brown. The smaller northern Australian former subspecies, nana, now considered a full species, known as the Paperbark Flycatcher, has a smaller bill and has glossy blue-black colouring extending further down the back.
This breath is not smooth, this mind not still.
The dust is heavy beneath the bed.
Even in the storm, I sit and breathe.
New life is near. I bow my head.
It’s a blend of cobalt and moody, inky blue that imparts calmness and restfullness while also offering the spirit of hopefulness – a commodity in a restless world. (he quoted)

Title borrowed from the cult 1985 film of the same name, which featured a soundtrack by Big Country.
37175 hammers out of Crianlarich with ETHEL 3 providing ETS on 19th August 1985 with 1M16, the 17:42 Fort William to Euston Sleeper. The lighting was truly awful, an exposure of 1/30th sec @ f4 on Kodak Tri-X Pan film (400 asa) was all that was possible on my Mamiya 645 camera, Adobe magic has done the rest.
The 37 was not in the peak of condition at this point, as can be seen by the exhaust plumes, Eastfield soon fixed it!
The road is filled with homeless souls
Every woman, child and man
Who have no idea where they will go
But they’ll help you if they can
Now everyone must have some thought
That’s going to pull them through somehow
Well the fires are raging hotter and hotter
But the sisters of the sun are going to rock me on the water now
Rock me on the water
Sister will you soothe my fevered brow
Rock me on the water
I’ll get down to the sea somehow
Rock Me On The Water
- Jackson Browne
Raven hair and ruby lips
Sparks fly from her fingertips
Echoed voices in the night
She's a restless spirit on an endless flight
Woo hoo witchy woman,
See how high she flies
Woo hoo witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye Witchy Woman -- Don Henley, Bernard Leadon

A self-expressionistic photo. I am experiencing the same as a lot of A level students. Ordinary amount of sleep, but lacking quality!
Hopefully I will be put back to ease after my exams.

Trying to rework a badly focused, badly composed image by cropping and some PS magic :)
This tiny, restless jewel of a bird vies with the goldcrest for the title of the UK's smallest bird.
Compared to the goldcrest, the firecrest is brighter and 'cleaner' looking, with a green back, white belly, bronze 'collar' and a black and white eye-stripe.
They have a yellow and black stripe on their heads, which has a bright orange centre in males.
Like goldcrests, they move through trees and bushes in search of small insects.
This was taken at Stodmarsh nature reserve at 10 Stour Valley Cl, Upstreet, Canterbury CT3 4DB

not tremendously pleased with this, but i suppose such is the way with trying to come up with something new every day, even when you're plum out of ideas.
have a lovely Monday, folks!
