The Blacksmith's Plover was one of the more common birds we encountered on our Safari. They occupy grasslands, often closely water and I believe were seen in all of the parks we visited. This particular one was photographed in the Amboseli Nature Reserve which incidentally was where we came across the largest variety of birdlife.
The bird is also known as a Blacksmith's Lapwing. Apparently it gains its name from the repeated metallic 'tink, tink, tink' alarm call, which suggests a blacksmith's hammer striking an anvil.

Water Striders ( Family Gerridae), on Reay Creek, BC. Tiny hairs on their legs trap air and repel water, allowing them to walk on water.

I caught this guy pushing his utility cart and loved the way the light and columns framed him up. There were tons of other people around, and it became a tense moment - would everyone else clear out before he was too far away? 😩

I was out trying to chase some mammatus clouds and found myself hunting a lighthouse. The lighthouse wasn't working the way I'd hoped so I left the location. As I was walking back I heard calls coming from a woman nearby. "Come on, let's go" I heard her call. I noticed the bright red jacket bustling over the rocks towards the yelling mother. He seemed to be studying the papers in his hand and didn't realize how far he'd gone out. I quickly snapped a shot of him center stage. The storm was over, a happy mother.

Water rails have distinctive feet adapted for their wetland habitat. They have long toes, but lack webbing, which allows them to walk on muddy and slippery surfaces. The long toes also help them grasp vegetation, although they don't often perch.
I am always amazed at the long stride, grace, and power a moose uses to walk through the snow. Perfectly adapted to it's environment, this moose was strolling among the willows, stripping bark and paying little attention to us as we watched this beautiful and interesting animal in Yellowstone National Park.
This path heads up toward West Kennet Long Barrow, the construction of which began just over five thousand six hundred years ago. I find that a little difficult to comprehend, to be honest!

"The Solar Strider wanders the barren wastes of the west, a relic of an advanced age. Needing no sustenance save for the light of the sun, it appears to never deviate from its mission. The strider's purpose seems to have been lost to the winds however, eroded from history like the winds reduce the mightiest of boulders to mere grains of sand..."

So it's been over a year since I posted anything on Flickr, but that's not to say I haven't been active, and watching from the shadows...
For 2020, I hope to put out more builds than I did last year (which is to say, more than none), but only time will tell if that will ever happen.
In the meantime, here's a build that uses Dark Flesh / Metru Brown as its primary colour, which is not one you see all that often.
Happy New Year, and see you soon!

This walk turned into a bit of a mudfest for the next mile of so. The day was unusually mild for late December - would have been good if it had been a frosty day

I had forgotten that I bought this little Sigma lens so I decided to have a day shooting with it. It's surprising how accurate it is for such a cheap lens and the image quality is quite good.
David spotted this water-strider resting on a brick wall beside the river Severn. Was rather surprised to see one out of the water like it!
