I often need to land the drone on the roof of my jeep. I caught this shot while out getting a sunset shot.
April means mud and stick season in Maine, along with frost heaves and suspension testing roads. On this particular spring morning, it is business as usual for Maine Northern train 909 headed north from Brownville to Oakfield, Maine. Eastern Maine lettered EMD SD70M-2 6406 and 2 sisters crosses the famed Golden Road just south of Millinocket, Maine on Friday April 22, 2022. Thankfully the state of Maine and NBM have turned the former B&A from what might have been a tragic story to a complete sucess.
Rolling west and up grade towards their base at the Lhoist complex in Crab Orchard, FIMX 4023 and its EMD paperweight cross over the oft shot second trestle near Ozone, TN.
Identified for me by the Australian Museum!

It was on my garbage bin & I've never seen one like this before.
“A stick! I’ll fetch it and drop it and play throughout the day,” barked the dog. “I’m not a stick. Why can’t you see? I’m a Stick Man and I want to go home to the family tree,”

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Digging through previously unpublished shots, such as this from April 2018, is just a sticking plaster on a gaping street photography wound. I wish it was safe for me to be out there now, perhaps one day in the distant future it may be so again. Stay safe everyone.
For Macro Mondays - Carbon.
Faber-Castell Pitt compressed charcoal stick for drawing.. Speedlight with grid behind and upper left - minimal bounce from below right.
The Philadelphia Insectarium is incredibly photographer friendly. These guys really go out of their way and I can’t recommend them any more highly. It really is a great spot for macro shooters.
This moth inhabits mainly the west of England, Wales and as far north as Scotland. It occasionally turns up in Southern England where it is considered to be a migrant.
Its extremely well disguised as a stick and when threatened it readily plays dead when it looks even more like a stick and can be rolled around like one too. This makes it difficult to pose for photography so patience is needed !

Headed out today and left my printer going making a front diffusion panel.
I am pleased to say it is printing amazingly well now. It was a fair journey of frustration to use before ( I dont know how I refrained from throwing it out the window) and it was not giving me the quality I wanted.
After giving it a major upgrade (Motherboard) and with some help from a kind gentleman writing the Marlin 2 file over 3 days it is now printing amazingly well.
This Robber Fly was one of my first subject choices today.
It is usually the other way round (Hands in the air) but it seen my set up with the Olympus/Om-System gear and CJ Diffuser and knew it was about to be FLASHED!
Not really these species seem to sleep this way

Have a nice day
Stick insects are a group of plant feeding insects characterised by a remarkable similarity to their host vegetation. Stick insects belong to the insect order Phasmatodea and are found throughout the world, being most common and diverse in the tropics. There are about 3,500 described species throughout the world and many undescribed species. Stick insects are related to other insect orders such as Orthoptera (grasshoppers, weta, and crickets), Mantophasmatodea (gladiators), and Embioptera (web spinners). The higher level taxonomy of stick insects and their relationships to other insects is currently being researched.
Stick insects feed on vegetation and are usually active after dark. They can be found on a variety of native plants in addition to some introduced plants common in gardens. When disturbed, stick insects will often fall to the ground and “play dead” for hours. Another bizarre behaviour is the “dance”, where the stick insect sways back and forwards for hours in a peculiar motion, the function of which is a mystery. Many stick insect species, including some New Zealand species, can reproduce without males, a mode of reproduction known as parthenogenesis. Stick insects are relatively common in New Zealand although introduced wasps, rats and possums are a threat in some areas.
