Those who know me personally will know I have a little van and like to travel around the UK for my photography. I recently spent some time in Brecon and West Wales for just under two weeks. And I really loved spending time focusing on photography again. Just getting through some of the pictures now and so I have lots of wildlife and landscapes stories to come. :)
This Image is from the first night where I walked up Pen Y Fan. I set off at 1am and only reached the peak at 6am as I was too distracted taking pictures of the stars on the way up! But I was just in time for a beautiful sunrise. :) It was seriously an amazing walk in the night and would highly recommend to anyone.
Having some problems with photoshop at the moment and it seems to not work or crash when I'm using it anyone else having problems?
Those of you who know me... or have explored with me... or both... know that I have a problem.... almost an addiction. I can't walk past a keyed instrument (piano, organ, harpsichord, etc) without sitting down at it... Here I am playing for my absolutely beautiful new wife Wistful. Only problem is I can't remember where this was... It may have been Rocca Sorrentina.
My only defense is that I was completely distracted by Wist's beauty.

Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.” There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery.” To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it.” Those who do not weep, do not see.”

The Sumatran tiger is a population of Panthera tigris sondaica on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. It is the only surviving tiger population in the Sunda Islands, where the Bali and Javan tigers are extinct.
Quick Facts Scientific classification ...
Sequences from complete mitochondrial genes of 34 tigers support the hypothesis that Sumatran tigers are diagnostically distinct from mainland subspecies. In 2017, the Cat Classification Task Force of the Cat Specialist Group revised felid taxonomy and recognizes the living and extinct tiger populations in Indonesia as P. t. sondaica.
Evolution
Analysis of DNA is consistent with the hypothesis that Sumatran tigers became isolated from other tiger populations after a rise in sea level that occurred at the Pleistocene to Holocene border about 12,000–6,000 years ago. In agreement with this evolutionary history, the Sumatran tiger is genetically isolated from all living mainland tigers, which form a distinct group closely related to each other. The isolation of the Sumatran tiger from mainland tiger populations is supported by multiple unique characters, including two diagnostic mitochondrial DNA nucleotide sites, ten mitochondrial DNA haplotypes and 11 out of 108 unique microsatellite alleles. The relatively high genetic variability and the phylogenetic distinctiveness of the Sumatran tiger indicates that the gene flow between island and mainland populations was highly restricted.
so i made a new years resolution... finally...
i'm conquering my fears this year. starting with yesterday.
my number one fear was needles... i took 4 yesterday in my gums without crying.

Mom with the two babies doing OK in the backyard. The two babies were born in the front yard but moved early on. I have been trying to get some group shots but this mom doesn't like to hang around and the babies run pretty quick. On this morning they let me approach and get pretty close.

Have you ever felt, that flowers are smiling to you, whenever you take their portrait in the Summer season?In your garden? Because I have! Such a joyful, bright, tender smile!! ❤️!!!!!Such a heartfelt emotion in my body!
Therefore, I am going now to share with you, some blooming smiles of my garden, in my current photos! Enjoy!!! ❤️
(Colobus guereza. kikuyuensis) B28I1860 Castle Forest - Central Kenya
Those Colobus are shy. The population is very restricted around the Mount Kenya
I have more proximate pictures but i like this one with the jungle atmosphere
For those of you that frequent John Heinz NWR, you know exactly the tree in this image. For those that don't, "the Egret Tree" is where numerous egrets and herons roost for the evening. I took this shot about 15 minutes before sunset and the light was a magnificent golden color that bathed everything it struck in warm golden tones. I only wish there were more egrets and herons in the tree ( I count 6 - 5 Great Egrets and 1 Great Blue Herons) at the time I snapped the image. Not sure if the leaves changed color on the Egret Tree or if they are brown (dead tree) and the light gave them a golden glow.
It's Wednesday and the week half through! Enjoy the rest of the evening.
Those eyes! Kyle's Langton swan song.... Two years ago, and he was still thin. Not now: his Mom has been overfeeding him, and ignoring me when I point out that both cats are now FAT.
We just sold our house in Cambria, and signed a lease on a smaller house in Morro Bay. So more changes in store for our kitties. And their humans. If there's something more stressful than moving, well. Cancer? Oh, wait....
I do not know if this image looks as if the temperature were hot or not, but it was 33 degrees celsius that day. The cars air-conditioning was all there was between me and the elements. But, the photo bug needed to be entertained, so off through a very thick patch of weeds I went. When I returned, my socks were covered in the tiny thorns that do natures best at spreading their progeny.
It was that low flying cloud, and its reflections that caught my eye. That made it a matter of waiting for the clouds to sit in the valley, and between the opposing hills for balance. Like an exclamation mark at the end of a sentence, the clouds made the image emphatic.
One of those scenes that you drive by, get a glimpse, and just have to turn around and get the camera out. At first the cattle were all out of frame to the left, but when I got out of the car they all started moving quickly to a spot behind the white barn. I suspect the sight of a human meant lunch time to them. HFF
Those bright green fat grassy-looking leaves are wild leek, otherwise known in some circles as ramps. Related to garlic and onion, there is a bulb about the size of your thumb growing down in the duff under each plant. They are delicious when sliced and sautéed with fresh morel mushrooms that will be popping up in a couple weeks. Those green leaves can be cut up and used in salads just like chives. Flowers won't form until July after those leaves are long gone.
Those American beech leaves never fall off, that's the way it is.
"American Beech leaves are elliptical. They have pointed tips and many straight, parallel veins and coarse teeth. The leaves are green during the summer. They turn golden yellow or lustrous brown, then pale brown in autumn. American Beech leaves remain on the tree well into winter, with some persisting into early spring, so if you are in the woods in winter and see a tree with brown leaves still hanging on to the tree, it probably is an American Beech."
I'm doing a pair of SNS's this week for the simple fact I have to many slides scanned and I want to move them. Both will feature EMD covered wagons. This view has BN 826 leading a B-unit and a C636 at Fisher in July 1979. Photo by Greg Stadter, Chuck Schwesinger collection.
Is there any wonder why mule deer have such good hearing? Their gigantic ears help them to hear predators. There's no sneaking up on a muley!
Those supercute Lamps will hit Novembre´s Fluffy Kawaii Round. I´ll add the SLURL as soon as it´s open ;) Stay tuned!
Eyes are one of those things Ive wanted to do for a while but kept getting pushed back in favor of other things. Now I finally have some!
These are a lovely pair of unrigged aethertech mesh eyes and you can customize them any way you like.
They'll be out tomorrow for SL Syndicates new in-store event for all things punk - "Prime Punk"!

Those antlers can't be as heavy as they look otherwise this Fallow Buck would never be able to raise his head from grazing!!😁
On a rather unremarkable sunset, with an unusually high temperature for this time of year, 66°F or 19°C at 6:20 pm (today´s highest was around 75ºF or 24ºC in the capital), this is the view of the Five Towers from the northern part of Madrid.
A gradual decrease in temperatures is expected over the next few days, reaching more typical values for the second half of autumn.
How's your autumn going? How's your spring going?
I wish all those who have the opportunity to enjoy this magical spectacle a happy aurora borealis viewing.

Las Cinco Torres en el anochecer del miércoles, Madrid, España
En un atardecer no demasiado vistoso, con una temperatura anormalmente elevada para la fecha, de 19ºC a las 6:20 pm (la máxima hoy en la capital fue del alrededor de 24ºC), en uno de los primeros atardeceres antes de las 6:00 pm, esta es la vista de las Cinco Torres desde la zona norte de Madrid.
Los próximos días se espera un descenso paulatino de las temperaturas hasta llegar a valores más normales para la segunda mitad del Otoño.
¿Cómo va vuestro Otoño? ¿Cómo va vuestra Primavera?
Os deseo un feliz avistamiento de auroras boreales a todos aquellos que tengáis la oportunidad de disfrutar de tan mágico espectáculo.

This male lion had just woken up and the look in his eyes was very intense! A few minutes later, he got up and roared right next to us! What an experience!
Amari has the most beautiful eyes and his eyelashes are out of this world.
I look at a lot of photos of lions and my pride seem to have the biggest, brightest lion eyes.
Obviously I'm a little biased but go ahead and prove me wrong lol
Thank you so much for the group cover!
Emil Ferris is one of those humans who you can just sense their utter brilliance. I literally think it's an amazing gift to share the same respiratory space with such an amazing human. I was thrilled to be able to speak to Emil after the Q and A following The Music Box Theater's documentary of Art Spiegelman entitled Disaster is My Muse (This should be available on PBS in the upcoming months according to the director)
I was telling Emil Ferris about this nonfiction book I was reading called Beyond Anxiety by Martha Beck, who speaks about how a creativity cycle can disrupt an anxiety cycle. I think many of us artists in this current political climate are feeling increasingly restless and hopeless. Channeling that into art is a good idea at this time.
In any case, this is a great film and Emil Ferris's My Favorite Thing is Monsters (Book 1 and 2) is absolutely phenomenal. Highly recommended!
In these current times, the monsters are humans who have been given absolute power to enforce their wills and desires on all. Every day is a new horror and destruction of human rights. Some will try to counter this by praying ceaselessly. Others, like myself, will continue to maximize their time on Earth by doing art every spare moment. It is perhaps the only way to cope with the madness of reality and maybe enough of us could create a new world out of the embers left.

#macromondays #vintage
For the great upcoming theme calles #vintage i decided to use an casette tape which lots of us remember. Back in the good old days we used those tapes to listen to our favorite music. And who of us don`t remember it when we had to roll up the mashed up tape by hand ?
The Compact Cassette or Musicassette (MC), also commonly called the tape cassette, cassette tape, audio cassette, or simply tape or cassette, is an analog magnetic tape recording format for audio recording and playback. Invented by Lou Ottens and his team at the Dutch company Philips in 1963, Compact Cassettes come in two forms, either already containing content as a prerecorded cassette (Musicassette), or as a fully recordable "blank" cassette. Both forms have two sides and are reversible by the user. Although other tape cassette formats have also existed - for example the Microcassette - the generic term cassette tape is normally always used to refer to the Compact Cassette because of its ubiquity.
Thank you for visits, comments and favs!
