The bird is apparently backlit. In JPG format it was just a black spot. Our daughter in law showed us how to use raw file to retrieve the image. We should learn more about it.
Canon FD300mm f/2.8 and x1.4 extender
Retrieved from disc and taken with Canon Powershot A630 in the Highlands of Scotland. Did you spot the ravens..?
I am adding this image to the group "Your best shot 2020" because I really like the details, especially in the eye-shine. When enlarged you can see the beautiful blue sky with some puffy white clouds and a couple of oak tree silhouettes.
Ah yes, mission complete! After all of the effort Robbie put into his mission impossible games in order to retrieve the coveted treats, he was successful. As the champion of the MI games, he was able to enjoy all of the fruit snacks and then some before Marion had a chance to claim a single morsel.
Robbie’s enjoyment did not come without a little more drama though. It seems that Marion was displeased as she watched Robbie devour the tasty fruit. She actually pulled a move from a different movie. As Robbie sat there enjoying his reward Marion buzzed the station. Just like Tom Cruise buzzed the tower in “Top Gun”.
She flew just over his head and then mine. Sensing danger, Robbie scurried down the palm stump and through the thicket to the Eastside fence. Running as fast as he could, Robbie rounded the fence and all but flew up a tall palm tree in the back of the yard. He continued until he was in the neighbors oak tree and out of sight.
Poor Robbie, Marion gave him quite a fright with her buzz maneuver. It’s understandable I suppose. I mean seriously, she gave me chills as the wind and the sound from her wings whizzed by my head. Be that as it may, perhaps next time Marion. Robbie earned his well-deserved snacks. I still wish I would have thought to switch to video mode for his activities. Especially that pancake position. I have never seen a squirrel shimmy around like that in a flattened position. So cute!
You can see oak one in his eye along with the blue sky.
I hope you have a terrific Tuesday, happy snapping.
Be own-self..

#Superstition
I've always wanted to use this collector coin for an MM theme, and the "Superstition" theme gave me another opportunity. My dad used to give me special edition coins for collecting, usually 5 or 10 Deutsche Mark (DM) pieces that were (and still are, but now as Euro, of course) issued for special anniversaries or in honour of important personalities. This is one of the coins. I'm keeping it in my wallet as a good luck charm, and whenever I change the wallet, the coin comes along.
There is nothing superstitious about the theme of the coin itself: a 10 DM silver (werewolves, anyone?) coin, issued for the 150th anniversary of the now worldwide operating Kolpingwerk, a Catholic Charity founded by Adolph Kolping (Kolping was a German shoemaker and later a clergyman who had originally initiated it in the mid-1800s as a journeyman union to improve the working conditions of apprentices), but the mere fact that it's a good luck charm makes it an ideal candidate for "Superstition", and there is also a quite funny story connected to it.
Ages ago, when I visited a street party with friends, we went to a shop to buy some water bottles (ever since, I've long come to always bring a home-filled bottle along to spare me the hassle of buying on the go), and I didn't have any coins in my purse other than this 10 DM coin. I hesitated to use it, but then thought, "Come on, don't be superstitious, it's time to let go", so I paid for my bottle of water with it. And instantly regretted it, but again thought, "don't be silly, it's just a coin". Of course, I kept vigorously discussing it in my mind ("No, it's not just a coin, it's extra special"), and after we had been walking for a while, I decided to ask my friends to lend me some money, ran to the shop, felt even sillier than before, but what matters is: I got the coin back ;)
To emphasise the illusion of superstitions, I placed the coin on the "warped" mirror tile (fixated with modelling clay) and focused mainly on the distorted reflection. In the coin's design, there is also a triangle: a symbol that is not only perceived as holy but is also connected to the secret society of the Illuminati, about which myths and conspiracy theories persist to this day; so I tried to highlight it.
Size info: The coin's diameter is 3 cm/1,18 inches.
HMM, Everyone!
Union Pacific's Cache Valley Local crosses a 121 ft. steel trestle across Spring Creek in Lewiston, Utah on July 20, 2022. On the left is Intermountain Farmer's Agronomy Center along US Hwy 91. The LCG41C 20 will stop at IFA and retrieve a covered hopper on the return trip to Logan.
"I'll get it, mom!" Rooster lives for retrieving, anywhere, anytime, he'll go forever, I usually have to call it quits for his own good. When I first got him he wouldn't bring it back to me, now he does every single time.
I was trying out a used lens I bought for the first time. I do like the results.
A minor miracle to get an off lead photo like this lol. Olive aka little Miss easily distracted, had to be retrieved 3 times, but eventually sat still :)
Taken today, a beautiful, sunny & warm day (18c) amazing for March!
Another photo retrieved from a damaged memory card and ruined camera. My trip to Hawaii was a few years back but I thought all photo memories were lost. This photo is of Haleakala, a dormant volcano on the island of Maui. This shot is taken on a path down into the depression, which is about 11.25 km (7 mi) across, 3.2 km (2 mi) wide, and nearly 800 m (2,600 ft) deep. I couldn't go further in, too cold, too windy, and too scary a climb down. You can see some of the sand and clay particles flying around the photo. You get to the summit by car traveling the Haleakalā Highway, a road of switchbacks and steep drop-offs. At some point you drive through the clouds and when you reach the top, most of the clouds are below you. It was an awesome experience.

UP 815 retrieves a single load of cocoa butter from the street level spur to Blommer Chocolate, one of the only factories still active in the downtown Chicago area. Blommer receives shipments of sugar in covered hoppers on the upper level (out of frame to the right) and the street level spur is used to load overflow cocoa butter into tank cars. Union Pacific keeps a set of tank cars in Grand Avenue yard or further up the spur that Blommer essentially uses as storage tanks for whatever cocoa butter they can't fit in the factory. Every once in a while, they will ship out a load by rail as well. In this case, the crew is swapping the load for an empty and simply holding the loaded car in Grand Avenue yard. When the customer has room in their building for the product, UP will spot them the load. Cars are spotted in the street right next to the old building seen behind the Metra overpass, but unfortunately Blommer moves the car out to here themselves as trucks normally occupy the track near the building. That makes it basically impossible to get a shot down by the building which is something I've been wanting to get for a long time. In any case, this operation used to be handled only a handful of times a year or less, but has been more frequent in the last year or so with moves happening probably a handful of times a month.
And yes, I did get an over/under shot here, but I actually prefer it without a train overhead because you can actually see the classic Blommer building, which, in my opinion, makes this a more interesting industrial scene.

As I wandered along Climping beach, I found myself wondering how long it might take for those huge, cubic concrete blocks to be worn to sand? And that made me imagine, just for a moment, that I had been somehow reduced to a microscopic size and that the blocks actually were grains of sand. A little like sugar cubes might look to an ant perhaps.
But then I noticed that the remnants of those groynes looked a little like they might be the ancient skeletal remains of a terrifyingly enormous ichthyosaur; maybe the spine, or, worse, the teeth! Something like that.
After pondering on that for a while, I moved on to the thought that they were actually the teeth of an absent-minded giant’s comb, dislodged from a pocket as he retrieved his handkerchief in order to blow his nose, which made me consider the definition of the term ‘beachcombing’.
And then, it occurred to me that…

Chick retrieving freshly caught pigeon and then the fun begins. The 2 siblings will want some of that yummy pigeon and will chase the victor until someone wins the prize. Would have liked a better angle, but it is what it is.

The Nuthatch is a very pretty bird and quite distinctive in its plumage which makes it very easy to identify, they have strong bills which they need for removing bark and/or retrieving stored food ie nuts. The Nuthatch is very happy to visit gardens and enjoys the food people put out for the birds, they are also very persistent in ensuring they get as much food as they need by being a little bullish with the other birds around the feeders. They however prefer insects which they collect from tree trunks and branches but in the winter months they conceal surplus nuts in tree bark so they can retrieve them when natural food is scarce, they use their bills to hammer these nuts open. They nest in tree cavities also old Woodpecker nests, they lay between 6 to 8 eggs and it is the female who incubates the eggs and the chicks hatch after about 14 days then both parents feed their chicks and they fledge the nest after about 25 days.
just scraping in for this week, the stresses are piling up lately :-(
throwing the wubba and shooting the jumping dog is a challenge ;-)

Well last night was a bit of a disaster:-
Heavy rain and high winds resulted in a "power cut" as I was cooking the evening meal for my 95 year old mother in law.
So out with the torches and the camping stove.
NOW you should NOT put a gas camping stove too close to an electric toaster!
Working by torch light means that only one spot is illuminated at a time, so while retrieving some ingredients (pepper) from the cupboard I noticed an odd yellow flicker out of the corner of my eye. I should have turned round more quickly - but no I got the pepper out of the cupboard before turning round.
Burning plastic is harder to extinguish than I expected.
Oh well it could have been a lot worse.
(I would have expected the plastic on a toaster to be fire resistant).
Stay safe.
