This water strider was settled nicely on the surface of this pond - after viewing on the computer, I noted the depression in the water caused by the right front leg. So interesting how they can stay on the surface.
When precipitation *didn't* mean sleet, snow, ice and slush! Photographed in downtown Toronto in early October 2019 when weather was...er...different. I just liked this guy's attitude: "OK, it's wet, no umbrella, gotta get there...now!...so, let's go!" Processed in PS.
My rally collab rover. Tried to do something outside my comfort zone with this, and I think it came out okay. I'll update the posts for the collaborators as they post :)
I find I like the blurred surface tension depressions in the water a great deal... and the way the three striders fortuitously positioned themselves in little spotlights of reflections.
(See, Jeff.... I can post creepy crawly things!)
I'll be away for a while now, so this may be my last post for some time. I will try to keep up with your photos periodically....

I painted this from a exhibition at a military's memorial, of course it did not actually look like this but it was the idea I got from it. I believe it tells a nice story.
Painted with oil.

Lightweight bipedal weapons platforms. These are heavily influenced by the Gekkos from MGS, although I have changed several aspects, particularly the visual sensors (the black cluster on their noses)
Office day in London today - got here a little early which gave the chance for a quick walk. Managed to time this perfectly - few seconds later and a flood of people walked through the scene with St Paul’s in the background.

This male lion was one of a coalition of two brothers. They were on a mission to meet up with some females who were just up the road. He was definitely very focused !
DiscoverScotland Website - Situated on the hilltops near Cairnhead are three sandstone arches known as the Striding Arches.
The arches were designed by landscape artist Andy Goldsworthy. Each arch, located at the Byre, Locharbriggs Quarry and Yorkshire Sculpture Park, was built from red sandstone sourced from Dumfries. The structures consisted of 31 blocks weighing 27 tons, standing at 4 meters high and spanning across seven meters.
Andy has also had these structures built in other corners of the world, including Canada, the United States and New Zealand. This was to represent Scots emigrating to these parts of the world over the last 200 years.
I finally caught up with this Little Egret.
It has now spent a couple of days in this water saturated meadow.
The RSPB website says they eat fish but this one is happy picking away here.
(It is only about 6 miles from Birmingham City Centre, UK!)
