Hummel-Rinderfliege (Mesembrina mystacea). Rossbarmgraben, Niedernfels, Landkreis Traunstein, Oberbayern. 6/2024
Strait of San Juan de Fuca, Washington
I suspect this sea stack was once an arch carved by wave action, the shoreward end of which has since collapsed. It was screened by trees when I saw it, so I decided to climb the rocks along the shore to get a better perspective. The tide was low, so that path certainly seemed accessible.
If I had it to do again, I wouldn't. I did not slip or drop any equipment, but those algae and seaweed covered rocks were absolutely treacherous. The triumph was not the image, but making it safely back to the nearby sandy beach.
When I am out photographing fungi I not only look for different types of fungi, i also look for fungi in nice settings. As a photographer first I am looking for compositions and how the fungi presents itself in these types of settings. This particular photo I Chose an aperture to include the spider web in the back ground. It almost looks like mist. Once you look at the mushroom there is still interesting subjects in this photo.
Every shoot has a story. Well, all my shoots do. Every single one. Most stories are kept between me and the people involved. This shoot’s story is so fun I thought
I’d share it. And with most good stories, this one is short and sweet.
It’s 2AM. I get a call from Michea. She’s drunk. HEY JEF!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING, she yells. “Not much, just working”, I know what’s coming.
“You wanna do a shoot?” she says.
I was there in ten minutes.
Nuff said.

Taken on a great fall evening in San Diego, California. This sea stack is just a baby. It was formed less than a year ago visually adding to this already beautiful area of San Diego, CA.
With B40-8's UP 1832 and 1833 for power, UP Train LSI55 05 uses Junland Siding on the UP Chester Sub. to run around the IHOYC 04. While it goes against conventional wisdom, the stack train will be in a long line of trains to get to the crew change at North Dexter.
The dispatcher on the territory today let the local zoom in and out of the sidings on the way north to get around several through freights between the switches on the main. This way, the local gets through Dexter and up to the kitty litter plant where it can get its work done and almost be headed back by the time the outbound crew even gets on the IHOYC.

Cosmos bipinnatus, commonly called the garden cosmos, Mexican asteror cosmea, is a medium-sized flowering herbaceous plant in the daisy family Asteraceae, native to the Americas. The species and its varieties and cultivars are popular as ornamental plants in temperate climate gardens. Cosmos bipinnatus is an annual that is often considered half-hardy, although plants may reappear via self-sowing for several years. The plant height varies from 0.61–1.83–2.74 m. The cultivated varieties appear in shades of pink and purple as well as white. The branched stem is usually densely to occasionally occupied by fine, split up, rough trichomes, but some specimens are completely hairless. The petiole itself is inconspicuous, winged, 10 (rarely to 15) mm long, and sometimes the leaves are almost sessile. The very conspicuous cup-shaped inflorescences have a diameter of usually 5–7 cm and contain tongue and tubular flowers, which are surrounded by bracts. There are usually 8 outer bracts, and they are ovate to lanceolate-tail-shaped, 7-15 mm long, 3-5 mm wide. The inner bracts are ovate-lanceolate and 8-12 mm long. They are translucent with many black stripes and a clear edge up to 1 mm wide, sometimes with yellowish or pink pigments, the tip is ciliate. The sprout leaves have gold-yellow, thread-like tips and protrude between the tubular flowers. The broadened base of these spreader leaves is translucent, with a yellow line. The mostly eight ray florets are pink to violet or white colored, at the base may show noticeable stains caused by anthocyanin. The tongues are reversely ovate shaped, have a length of usually 20-35 mm and a width of usually 12-20 mm. The tips are almost dull and have three broad, wavy teeth. Below that, they are greatly rejuvenated. In the center of the flower baskets is a large number of tubular flowers (also called disc florets), whose overgrown petals are yellow, turn white in the lower part and reach a length of 5-6 mm. The anthers are brownish-black and about 3 mm long, at the tips are short-triangular, translucent attachments with a length of 0.5-0.8 mm. The branches of the stylus are short and rather dull, with a length of 0.5 mm.

Adult marsh flies appear to remain active even during cooler months of the year. They are by far one of the most common flies their size I observe in the WMA this season. The brown spot on the "fons" (face) of this fly is diagnostic of this genus. Regardless, this day was mildly warm and I also saw a few adult Syrphids in flight.

The fourth picture within a 30 minute span is this BNSF stack train climbing the Grade at Sullivan's Curve. In the siding at Canyon on the ex-SP Palmdale cutoff is 8401 and UP 5432 is on the main. Plenty of action this morning even with the 3751 special in the mix.

BNSF S-BPATAC-126M was hitting the hump out of Chana behind a pair of C44-9Ws. The faux-warbonnet leader was better than a typical Orange burner, but not by much.
The classic CB&Q code line and searchlight signals have since been removed, but the daily onslaught of stacks and GEs continues unchecked and mostly undocumented.
The historic South Stack Lighthouse is located on a small island reached via a descent of 400 steps down the steep mainland cliffs. South Stack Rock lies separated from Holyhead Island by 30 metres of turbulent sea. The coastline from the breakwater and around the south western shore is made of large granite cliffs rising up from the sea to 60 metres.
As the wildfire smoke slowly crept into the valley at Moraine Lake a couple of weeks into the summer of Armageddon, it diffused the light from the setting sun, creating very soft, atmospheric light.
This spot on the lake is about the only quiet place you'll find.
The rock pile is now the arena for wedding photographers and ‘Rinsedagrammers’ all jostling for position.
The one benefit of such busy crowds is the perfectly placed canoe that you can see paddling off into the reflection.
As always, I had to exposure bracket in order to capture all of the highlights and shadow detail in this high contrast scene.
I also had to focus stack the rock in the foreground as I was so close to the lens that it began to blur.
As I was making this image, I noticed one very brave paddle boarder out on the lake that day. While invitingly beautiful, I wouldn't want to fall in to that ice cold water.

South Stack Lighthouse Anglesey, I walked down the steps part way and waited to get the light shining in the lighthouse, one day I may make it down to the bottom, it's the coming back up that's the problem.
Little juxtaposed pierced foam protections for watercolour sticks.
The light flows through the empty squares that usually contain the new sticks.
Have you ever wanted to photograph Olympic National Park? Kevin and I are really looking forward to our workshop in May and we just have 2 spots left. Learn more here:

Sometimes clear skies can really help simplify a scene. As the sun was setting, a hiker walked right in front of the setting sun. She was holding a small child in front of her and I really liked the sense of scale and balance she gave to the shot. And for those of you who are wondering, yes I did get the sunburst through the holes in this sea stack. But I ended up liking this shot even more!
Stack Rocks- Pembrokeshire Coast from the last trip!

A UP east bound stack winds through Afton Canyon. Then the rail grinder got out, and that was that for the day!!
I have had a specific image in mind now for a couple of weeks but the one and only night the sky and weather were right I was stuck at work (fuming!). So to keep the photostream 'ticking over' I offer this as a fallback; from a trip in Aug looking past the old fishing Bothy and down Loch Stack, Sutherland.

Thois picture was taken at the Slieve League cliffs. Actually I was standing high on top of the cliffs, but with the telezoom, I got some nice details of the area, including this sea-stacks.
The picture was taken from appr. 530-560m height.
Is it just me that likes the beauty of random, mundane things like this? Taken in the Sheldonian Theatre, Oxford.
