Another shot from last weekends adder encounter. I waited patiently for this male to slither out from under the cover of the heather.
Making the most of an unseasonally heavy snowfall, I slithered off my drive and headed for a local spot. Travelling far was not an option. First of all, my Corsa likes going sideways on icy roads and I don't have a 4x4 as a back up. Secondly, I had about six hours of school reports to write (nearly 5000 words by the time I finished yesterday afternoon), so I had to be realistic.
I always had a shot like this in mind if there was to be a late fall of snow. Bramcote Hills Park usually has lots of early Spring flowers and it was clear yesterday that they were suffering from the late cold spell.
Another shot of southbound Canadian National train U718 an empty limestone train returning to Proctor Yard from Cleveland-Cliffs Minorca Mine near Virginia, MN. The train of empty old school DMIR quad ore hoppers is led by CN SD40-2Ws 5338 and 5349 both built by GMDD in London in 1980 and dressed in the short lived CN North America livery. The train is slithering into Proctor Yard as it crosses from the Missabe main across the scale track and on to the A Yard lead in this view looking north off the popular St. Louis River Road bridge at the right at about MP 9.1 on modern day CN's North Division Missabe Subdivision mainline.
This is an area that needs no introduction to even the most casual fan as the Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway is in a word legendary. I won't bore you with pages of history as I couldn't do the road or region justice anyway. It simply needs to be experienced for oneself. But I will direct you to two resources. Absolutely check out the fabulous historical information here: www.missabe.com/

Last golden light
darkening
across the lake
before
the orchestra
of night begins
its raucous
musicale,
before
silent hunters
flutter out,
slither about,
before
what awakens
and begins
its nocturnal day
dreams
of what
it will kill
and eat

Compositionally Challenged Week 39 - Shadows
I'm no snake expert but I think this is a little garter snake, probably 10" long. I almost stepped on it. : )
Lucky Series Day 4: I was driving around looking for anything when I saw a snake in the road. I first thought it was dead because I never find the alive kind! To my great surprise the rattlesnake was alive. So then I thought he's just going to slither off before I get any shots. He didn't. He was an amazing model for me. Let me get some nice shots, didn't leave and didn't try to kill me - lucky day!
The second stage
It slithers awake
Twisting inside
Its fingers writhe
The ovomorph opens slow
Like a macabre flower unknown
From within the black
It now attacks
Hugged around your face
Lungs can't stand the strain
Forceful insemination
Mankind's annihilation
FACEHUGGER!

Across the Universe
🎈🎶 youtu.be/OTQcJx7xqAc 🌠
Words are flowing out
Like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy
Are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai Guru Deva, Om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light
Which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe
Jai Guru Deva, Om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter, shades of life
Are ringing through my open ears
Inciting and inviting me
Limitless, undying love
Which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe
Jai Guru Deva, Om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Jai Guru Deva

Along the ground, i do slide
Between the trees, i do hide
I slide, i slither, i follow the green
Look very closely and i am seen
On the ground, under the trees
I am blown on the breeze
Along the path, as i travel
Its many secrets, i unravel
The trees are tall and stretch out wide
In their shade. i do hide
I slither, slide, i follow the green
Look very closely and i am seen
What appears to be a young, nonvenomous Gopher snake slithering in the wet grass.
Bakersfield, CA - USA
Update: The reptile is, in fact, a California King Snake. See comments below.

I had a blast this day watching the ducks slither around on the snow-covered frozen pond. It was even more fun to watch them land on it.
Conditions were certainly challenging...70mph gusts of wind which literally knocked me off my feet, driving rain and constantly changing light meant I had to be very patient indeed. The moment came, however as a slight break in the brooding sky cast a slither of sunshine on the mountain range in the backdrop to this shot whilst the river continued to slither down the valley.
This area of Skye is known as Sligachan. A name derived from the ancient Gaelic language meaning ‘shelly place’ from the shells found on the river banks.
As always, thanks in advance for any comments or favourites you may wish to make.
Editing from my adventure continues...

Coastal mountain king snake
So, I normally would not post such a poor quality photo. As usual, when seeing snakes, I was totally unprepared. My camera settings were completely wrong, and of course by the time I changed them he was in the process of slithering quickly out of sight. This is actually the third coastal mountain king snake I've seen but the very first I managed to get any kind of photo of. I hope this is just the first of many more.
HMM. I saw this guy slithering around in the rain one day. When I saw MM was doing spiral I went out to find him. Someone else found him first. Holes drilled in the shell and the innards sucked out.
Not quite as solemn a sky as on my previous couple of shots from Northumberland, though the wider shot would reveal a mass of cloud. However, I actually saw a glimmer of sunlight on this particular morning on my visit to Lindisfarne.
I’d gone to the island for sunrise but this particular shot was taken on my way back across the causeway, which is susceptible to flooding at high tide. The refuge hut is there just in case people haven’t heeded the tide warnings that are displayed at each end of the causeway.
I decided to strap on my 100-400 lens and shoot close the the ground with the R8 in order to compress the view, and to get the slither of light between the grey clouds and the road. This was my first real landscape outing with the R8. I also had my R5 with me with a wider lens attached, but I wanted to test out the R8’s abilities; it didn’t disappoint😁.
This is a garter snake that I observed slithering around Nisqually NWR.
It found an old, dried-up frog in the grass, kind of chewed on it for a while, then eventually dropped it.

A slither of sunlight shone through the woodland trees and onto this freshly fallen leaf.

No Group Awards/Banners, thanks
Our cat pulled this young Grass snake out of one of our plant borders and played with it for a while until it played dead and she lost interest.
As you can see it revived and slithered off somewhere.

Pues ya que el cielo nos brindaba todo su espectáculo de luz y nubes probé con el filtro de 6 pasos a jugar con el vaivén del agua , las estelas de las olas, los reflejos y con esa rama que se empeñaba en quedarse poco estática, en cuanto venía una ola me la descolocaba y tenía que volver a encuadrar, la verdad es que el resultado de esos 2.5" me entusiasmó . Una vez más uno de mis lugares favoritos Bolonia, aunque esta vez el temporal había cubierto casi por completo todas las rocas del lugar algunas aún luchaban para salir a flote.
En lightroom apliqué dos filtros degradados al cielo subexponiendo el cielo pero en pequeños pasos sutiles, luego trabajé con la misma herramienta el primer plano pasándola a continuación a photoshop donde le equilibré las luces y los colores , por primera vez y tras ver un videotutorial apliqué el enfoque por frencuencias, no sé creo que es algo muy interesante pero me gustaría experimentarlo más antes de decantarme por él ya que he observado que suele sacar unos halos que no molan nada.
Gracias a tod@s por vuestras palabras
