Got my first Damselfy shot of the year on Saturday, shame the backend is OOF. Being able to shoot at up to ISO 6400 without worrying about noise is a big asset when handholding macros for me.
5D3 - 100mm LIS macro - f14,1/200 sec - Ev + 2/3 - ISO 3200, handheld in natural light.

Mammatus clouds formed on the backend of the storm system as it moved out of Chicago. Though if it wasn't for the lightning illuminating it, I would have never known.

13/07/22. The Banker or Assist engine for Saphos Tour to Plymouth. Billed as a 47 (1944), Methinks i see a nameboard near the backend. I worked Western 1000s and 800 Warships out of Bristol Bath road early 60s, Good old days.!
Bee Butts — Well, we may not "Break the Internet" with this one, but we like bee butts and we cannot lie!
This is the backend of a Lipotriches (Plain Sweat Bee) collected in Australia. This is one of the bees in which the males are known to form sleeping aggregations – small groups to dozens of individuals clustering together on the same twig late in the afternoon and remaining there until after dawn. There may be quite a lot of “jockeying for position” as males alight too close to another individual with low key aggressive interactions. Some clusters might contain more than one species. There has been little research on the reason for this aggregating behavior, although safety in numbers might play a role.
You can find more bees, all for public domain use, from our Bee Inventory and Monitoring Lab at flickr.com/photos/usgsbiml.
When I went to Rotherham a few weeks back, I came back with a bunch of model stuff I haven't had time to properly photograph and pay attention to. My weirdest purchase was undoubtedly this, erm, thing, which I paid all of £2 for and still has the price written on the roof.
I was drawn in by the big headlights and flat windscreen reminding me of Scania demonstrators NCT had in the 1980s, plus the rear area has been modified with a hinge and opening lower rear section to reveal an engine modelled from scraps. After a closer inspection I realised I had an ECW Olympian kit (possibly a Tower Models one?) with the modified backend and flat windscreen - the front panel is in fact the original one, just unusually painted and with the whacking great rectangular headlights stuck on. The front panel is also very wobbly and held on with blu-tac.
Win no registration but a number 88 front and rear, it seems this was part of someone's model fleet, although exactly whose or where I'm not sure. Best I found of Flickr is that it could be Albion Coachways, but the quality finish seems a bit inconsistent. The upper red band is actually a piece of tape running all the way around the model! Still not sure what kind of body or chassis it's meant to represent, but I assume its something from the 1980s.
So, what to do with it? It's too old for the model fleet, even by rock bottom Robertson Buses standards, and as ungainly as the rear hinge is, I'd like to keep it as it's a neat feature. None of the old ex-demo NCT Scanias match its looks around the sides or rear, which is a shame, but so far my best idea is to put it in green and cream, East Lancs-ify it a little and have it as a freelance NCT Scania demo, even if none looked like it IRL. Whaddya think? Suggest better ideas (or thoughts about who its previous owner was) below!
Also, this photo sees the return of the Victoria Centre diorama, originally made 'temporarily' in 2019... or at least the salvageable bits. It's in a bad way and really needs a complete rebuild. Which might happen some time before 2050.
Poor Della has had a rough week. On Tuesday afternoon she just stopped walking while on a walk with my husband. She could barely move and seemed to be in pain with her backend. He got her home and she hardly moved all afternoon and night. She did eat her dinner and I gave her some pain meds. She got up the next morning but still was very wobbly in the backend. I brought her down to work with me and we did a bunch of x-rays and some bloodwork. The x-rays showed that she has Spondylosis deformans. That is a degenerative condition of the vertebral bones, and it commonly develops in dogs as part of the natural aging process. It can also be caused by trauma, both small and major injury. Jumping for frisbees and balls for 15 years probably help contribute to the problem.
We have decided to try to help manage her pain with monthly injections of Ketamine along with oral gabapentin three times a day. Her bloodwork came back with some liver issues but the doctors want to redo the bloods in a week or so because a sudden traumatic event can cause the numbers to be elevated.
Here she is getting her first injection of ketamine…guess my girl is a druggie now. She doesn’t look too bad here. Putting a brave face on I guess. She’s a trooper. She is not taking long walks but she seems happy enough and still wants to eat. We will do what we can for her as long as she is comfortable. One day at a time and lots of hugs and ear scratches during the day.
So after we went around that last big mud pond, we continued to an area with a rocky hill. Here the trail came to yet another impasse. Bob drove up to the right and stopped. I presumed he was going to scout a path around, but instead he came back over to me and said.. My bike is dead. Well, I thought he had just turned it off to park but it actually cut out on it's own.
The area was out in the open and it was about 32C. For the next 20 minutes, he had to check the battery.. which was full, the fuses which seemed OK, but there was nothing happening. Finally, he thought there might be another master fuse which he did locate somewhere under the backend of the bike, and sure enough it was blown. He carries a whole lot of tools and fuses etc. so he changed the fuse and all was well.. thankfully, because it would have been an unpleasant return home. We would have either had to tow it out (we had a tow rope) but it was a really rough trail and it would have been a long process... or ride double and returned later to fix or retrieve the bike.
Just so you know.. We carry a first aid kit, water, tools. parts, bug jackets and bug spray and a tire repair kit plus a battery booster. We both had cell phones and I actually called a friend to alert them to where exactly we were in the event we didn't get back. Fortunately, it didn't come to that. It was disappointing that we never got to the lake at the end of the trail.
Note: 1. I had to stop and lift that tree branch over the top of my windshield .. while slowly driving forward.
2. All the times I seem to be stopping or slowing down are because Bob is driving behind me on his bike and I make sure he gets through the hazards as well. 3. He drives behind me because his bike is wider and taller than mine and he is 6'4'' so I wouldn't be able to see or film with him in front.

May 27, 2015 - Yuma Colorado US
Knowing about the moderate risk of severe storms on the eastern side of Colorado and the western side of Nebraska, I had planned out the day perfectly to intercept the back side of the cells about 4pm Mountain time.
Now into Yuma County Colorado, this was when all the action began. Tornado warning was in effect just a few miles north of Hwy 34 and I had a good sight on the backend of this developing severe storm.
From Fort Morgan Colorado via Hwy 34/6 back to Nebraska was my route back behind the developing cells. To honestly say... I wasn't disappointed. The open cloudscapes of Colorado are a photographers dream.

Sadly the two citybuses at Godsons departed for Barnsley very shortly after their last duty on Friday. However the future for the two Volvo Olympians is possibly brighter. Here R252LGH is shown en-route "between owners", although at first sight tatty, it hides a good bus with plenty of muscle at the backend.

Peel Street in Accrington has been synonymous with the town's bus services for a good many years, but here in more interesting times 'driverless' 147 stands in the bus station with passengers already aboard. After a swift cup of tea, the driver and conductor are probably already making their way back to the bus to make their next journey to Clayton le Moors, a district that lies a short distance to the north of the Lancashire town. The backend of a car can be seen disappearing up Blackburn Road, but apart from that and the buses there is no other traffic in the picture.
This is the backend of a Elephant Hawk moth Caterpillar :)
That spike is just amazing ! Any idea what the purpose of it is anyone?

Seen In a place called Waldron's on April 9,1982 I think this junkyard is still there with a different collection of cars a very rusty 1968 Dodge Charger is in front here.
In hindsight I'm glad I took this snap of the back of a bus! D739 (739 ZO) was one of the large batch of Leyland Atleanteans with Van Hool McArdle bodies amassed by CIE in the 1970s - CIE had been staunch Leyland buyers for decades but these vehicles would be part of the 'great falling out' that would see CIE attempt to develop alternative models via different manufacturers. The bodywork was part of that attempt to diversify - a local company , McArdle, coupled up with continental coach builder Van Hool. The outcome was not exactly happy, not helped by CIE's very poor maintenance regime of the time I recall - and the open engine access hatch flapping around in service was not uncommon with these buses. I'm certain this is the terminus, high in the mountains, at Ballymore Eustace in which case this isn't on the 77A! This is not technically a good shot - I only had, at the time, a throwaway camera.

The truck I had then seen on Feb 6,1982 parked in front of my house I bought it in July 1980 and sold it in March 1983 with lots of rust on it.
