Mining Bee - At least I think that's what it is. But my goodness I couldn't believe it could fly away with those pollen sacs so full!
Night shift cook down at the Texas Tavern, Roanoke . Nikkor -P 105 2.5. With the colors this lens produces, it was an easy choice to leave it as is. This is straight from the camera.
View of the Champs-Élysées Avenue, looking towards the Place de la Concorde and the Louvre Museum in the distance.
Not of high quality as it’s 15 years old and was taken with an old P&S camera using a long focal length and high zoom, and it has traveled through several storage media. But I still like it and hope you find it interesting.
We’ll be traveling down to Hertfordshire tomorrow to see my daughter et al and to be honest I started to get a little anxious about the drive. I’ve never been a keen driver for long distances, but as needs must over the years I’ve had to drive all over. For work I was up to the midlands all the time and now all my family live away so staying in touch involves lots of traveling. Prior to the pandemic I was regularly doing 700 miles round trips visiting the grandchildren, but now after 14 months of relative no driving these epic distances are a little daunting. It’s a confidence thing and I’m sure once well into the journey I’ll be ok, hopefully keeping the toilet stops down to one and I can persevere the leg aches that I will sure to get. So take my mind of it here is a #waveWednesday taken back in April, called Shape shifter. It’s a rare wave photo in that it’s not taken with my Canon 7dmkii and 100-400 combo sitting on a tripod. I decided to go light and local on the afternoon of this storm, carrying my fujifilm XH1 and 70-300mm lens plus 1.4x, all taken handheld. It was an experiment, the results were OK, but it won’t replace my DSLR for these sessions in a hurry.
Here is shift change at the eyrie near my home in Michigan today, March 21, 2022. The adult on the left had just returned and the other took off immediately after this exchange. It happened so quickly. I was only able to get off a couple of shots, happy with this one. They don't leave the eggs "unwarmed" for very long. I have read that a steady temperature of 99.5 degrees is required for optimal incubation. Their fealty to this process is amazing. No wonder they've survived every kind of assault man can throw at them.

Imagine putting in a solid 12 hour shift in this tiny lighthouse!! Back breaking!
Actually just someone out enjoying an evening stroll!
Like three years ago, starting the new season with a wonderful and enchanting Hubble's Variable Nebula (NGC 2261)
Previous approach: www.flickr.com/photos/olegbr/8552071862/in/dateposted/
I wanted to personally check whether it still variable ...
It was found that this is so :)
Here animation L-channel 200%: olegbr.astroclub.kiev.ua/files/astrofoto/NGC2261/NGC2261_...
Of course, 3 years - a very large interval for observing the changes in the nebula. Everything is much faster: www.umanitoba.ca/science/astronomy/cbrown/imaging/hvn/ana...
In 2013-2016 animation, I drew attention to the star just above the nebula, which is for 3 years significantly shifted to the right.
To heighten the effect, combined with the current picture image DSS., For about 60 years, the offset is already pretty decent. olegbr.astroclub.kiev.ua/files/astrofoto/NGC2261/NGC2261_...
Here www.astrosurf.com/mcianci/ngc2261.html Italian colleague calculated that the proper motion (proper motion) of the star 0.2" per year. The name is NLTT 16798 and is listed as High Proper Motion Star: simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=NLTT+16798
Explanation: What causes Hubble's Variable Nebula to vary? The unusual nebula pictured above changes its appearance noticeably in just a few weeks. Discovered over 200 years ago and subsequently cataloged as NGC 2661, the remarkable nebula is named for Edwin Hubble, who studied it earlier this century. Hubble's Variable Nebula is a reflection nebula made of gas and fine dust fanning out from the star R Monocerotis. The faint nebula is about one light-year across and lies about 2500 light-years away towards the constellation of Monocerotis. A leading variability explanation for Hubble's Variable Nebula holds that dense knots of opaque dust pass close to R Mon and cast moving shadows onto the reflecting dust seen in the rest of the nebula.

"Expedients are for an hour, but principles are for the ages. Just because the rains descend and winds blow, we cannot afford to build on shifting sands." ~ Henry Ward Beecher
Please enjoy the shoreline sands in Large. Thank you so much for your visit!
the sand at Spittal seems to have dropped to the lowest I've ever seen it - the groynes are more exposed than ever.
Shift Change- *I created this picture at least a week ago and to be honest I have been in a weird mental space (with the rest of the world* I was inspired to create this picture buy something my sister (@CurlesueCards) was doing and this image fought me most of the way. I really struggled with what I wanted to convey. I just really want to show my appreciation for first responders and let them know that I cannot imagine what they are going through right now but I appreciate their strength to keep on showing up everyday and helping us.
