"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

Water ail juvenile

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.

"Stride la vampa ! la folla indomita corre a quel fuoco lieta in sembianza: urli di gioia eccheggiano... Cinta di sgherri donna s'avanza! Sinistra splende su' volti orribili la tetra fiamma che sale al ciel! "

(da Il trovatore di Giuseppe Verdi)

Trepobates pictus

Another shot from one of my owl watching evenings, there is always plenty of other wildlife to see.

This nervous fella was happy to pose for a few shots (no pun intended) before disappearing over the wall with his companion.

Lets hope he can avoid any unnecessary attention come August.

Many thanks as always to all those kind enough to comment and fave my pics, or even stop by for a look. Although I am unable to always respond, your feedback is very much appreciated.

Exhibition Park in Guelph was beautiful on Sunday with autumn being closer to its prime than hereabouts. Sue sometimes took her lunch to this park from work when we lived near here 45 years ago.

Black Necked Stilt

Sticking with the Helvellyn theme.. Two climbers appeared on striding edge in perfect timing with the mist lifting from the tarn.

little robot thing I whipped up last night

The handsome student striding out with all the confidence of an Oxford education and catching the eye of the tourists behind him.

Just leaving an exam by the looks of it. I can't tell what sort of gown he's wearing (I think there's three types), but a white carnation means a first examination. Looking cool in his dark glasses, mortar board in his left hand and I assume that's a bottle of champagne in his right. (He doesn't look the Prosecco type.)

As of October 2022, of the 57 prime ministers to date, 30 were educated at the University of Oxford (including 13 at Christ Church), compared to 14 at the University of Cambridge (including six at Trinity College).

So a future prime minister? He certainly has the air of ownership about him and knowledge of his place in the world.
