my highlight from today was a five second flight by a bittern , a lifer for me and even though I never got a focus lock on its good enough for me .. well pleased
The best bits of veggies on the cutting board. Why the best bits? Because these go to the rubbish bin.
A bit of history regarding the previous photo. The year here is 1971, the band was Stone Bridge, we covered Chicago, Santana, The Allman Brothers, Doobie Brothers and many more that were popular at the time. The circuit we played was mostly Western N.Y. , Toronto a couple of times and northeast P.A.
The guy with the hat, lead vocals , is my older Brother now deceased, next to him the bass player Jim G. , I am last on top right lead, rhythym guitar and vocals. Second row alto sax and flute Gary K., then , Al S. trumpet, he went on to become a music proffesor and led the Cincinatti, Ohio Brass Ensemble, below seated in middle is Jim C. who became CEO of a small steel Co., he played the Hammond B-3 organ he is also deceased as is Drummer Jim G. seated left below him and on right bottom Bob M. trombonist recently inducted into Buffalo's music Hall Of Fame. This band was around from late '68 to '73, many clubs parties and beer blasts, some at the Filmore room at U.B. in Buffalo and also outside of Niagara University, largest crowd was around 1500, it was fun and work, as rehearsals second jobs and family all had to be included in the time frame, I have no regrets only happy memories........
We had a good run and following in our area, Good Times.
I would like to add that though we preached Peace & Love we were not those who disrespected our returning veterans as I am today still grateful for their sacrifice. Jim the organ player was a combat veteran of that war, plus I lost 2 neighborhood friends and a highshool aquaintence there.
My thoughts have always been "Peace" and always will be........ Thanks for reading.
Cap a bit slimy. 50mm across cap. Damp woodland. With Willow.

There are 3 specis in my book which look similar and all are rare.
No one in our fungus group tries to ID Cortinarius. Maybe this is why so many Cortinarius are rare?
After a web trawl and a fair few photos I would go with
Cortinarius diasemospermus.
The gill shape matches. The stipe matches The cap matches and the habitat is right. Book says very rare. I used to get teased as I always thought things were rare, however, I have had verified 5 rare and one globally rare species in 3 years. All within 500 yards of where this photo was taken.

Explored! #49 - highest position yet =)
Slept in a bit on Friday after getting up and checking the weather at 5:30. It was pretty much the same as Thursday so we decided there was no point going out and taking practically identical photos.
We went kayaking on Okarito Lagoon which was pretty cool except I managed to get myself completely soaked and Dad laughed at me. We saw Godwits, Pipers, Spoonbills, a blue heron and a couple of white herons. Dad and I were sharing a kayak and right as we were nearly back to shore managed to get stuck! It wasn't that bad though because a white heron was standing in the water maybe three or four metres away from us so that was awesome. We got unstuck after a little bit and returned to shore. I was so glad of a shower then!
After lunch Bee and I packed up our stuff and packed it into her car and set off. We had a break in Hokitika for a while and then drove as far as Kumara Junction before Bee remembered that we forgot to get petrol and the needle was on E. Luckily we weren't too far away from Hokitika so were able to drive back and fill up the tank.
We didn't stop again until Arthur's Pass for a quick toilet break and also made friends with four Keas who were hanging out by the carpark.
From there we drove on until we reached Castle Hill which has totally amazing limestone rock formations. It's near Flock Hill Station which was used in The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe. Both Bee and I got a bit carried away with our cameras and when we got back to the car realised just how long we'd been there.
She dropped me home about ten and I was very glad of being able to go to my own bed and have a nice long sleep. Speaking of bed, that's where I'm headed right now because I have yet another early start tomorrow because I have a plane to catch and a course to go to (and my Viking Essay to finish off).
Collab with Minna! :)
We had been wanting to do this for a while but it was never quite the right weather -
Got a bit sloppy but need to get started on the pile of reading for class!

Bit bored so nipped out to Crosby for a couple of hours to feed the creative urge :)

Papaver nudicaule
Common names: Iceland Poppy, Arctic Poppy
Family: Papaveraceae
All parts of this plant are likely to be poisonous, containing (like all poppies) toxic alkaloids.
Beaten and battered but still standing. I don't know about you but I have a soft spot for these and for the people who refuse to take them down.

A rather frustrating chase, as there was plenty of lightning, but it was almost always buried in clouds and rain shafts. Still, a nice way to spend an evening.
With the sun long gone and only a tiny bit of light left in the sky, the day is nearly over at White Sands.
White Sands National Park, New Mexico, USA.
Back in October, I took a trip to White Sands National Park in New Mexico, USA with my Flickr friend (and real friend!) Frank Loose. You can say all kinds of horrible things about social media - and you'd be right - but it can (and Flickr, in particular, can) be an amazing way to connect you with people with shared interests. Frank and I connected over ten years ago on Flickr and have become fast friends since then. We've been talking for years about doing a photo trip together and we finally did it in October this year when we travelled to New Mexico to photograph White Sands. If you'd like to read about our trip, you're welcome to check out my blog post about it.
White Sands National Park covers about a third of a huge dunefield between the San Andres and Sacramento Mountains in southern New Mexico. White Sands is a bit of a misnomer, as the dunes are actually made of gypsum, not sand, and though they are white in bright sunshine they can take on some amazing colours – from beige to pink to blue – depending on the light conditions. Frank and I photographed the dunes over four days of morning and evening visits and really came to love this magical place. I hope you enjoy this series of images (and do check out Frank’s beautiful work as well!).
If you'd like to see the whole series, in the order they are meant to be seen, take a look at my White Sands Album. If you prefer, you can just look at the colour images or just at the more experimental black and white images.
A bit of a different hinting technique and I never caught the move. What looks like the edge of the water on the bank of the bayou is actually a drifting mass of water hyacinth that has set up it own tiny ecosystem on the bayou. This mass is being blown over the surface of the water by the wind. This Tri-colored Heron had set up station on the edge of the drift mass and would fly off over the water and attempt to snag fish while he was in flight. Not sure what type of weed is growing on the edge of the hyacinth, but it has also become a part of the drifting mass. They hyacinth in the background is a separate mass.
Also want to update everyone on tropical storm Imelda. The storm was expected to drift northward yesterday, but tropical storms always have a mind of their own. Instead of the storms drifting northward the flow has been a bit more to the southeast and is dumping huge amounts of waters on Houston. The flooding has begun, and we can only hope that it will be minimal, but that doesn’t ever seem to be the case around. I am high and dry, but a lot of residents are not that fortunate. I know that there is also flooding going on from Houston to Beaumont.

I also want to warn everyone about some gutter garbage people that are present here on Flickr. Perverts trolling for anything that they can put their filthy hands on. Seem like they have returned so make sure you know what you are looking at if your children are on here and have your safe search dialed in as well. Nothing is free from corruption any longer. It just took me far too long to get her posts deleted!!!!

Tower Bridge (built 1886–1894) is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, over the River Thames. It is close to the Tower of London, from which it takes its name. It has become an iconic symbol of London. The bridge consists of two towers tied together at the upper level by means of two horizontal walkways, designed to withstand the horizontal forces exerted by the suspended sections of the bridge on the landward sides of the towers. The vertical component of the forces in the suspended sections and the vertical reactions of the two walkways are carried by the two robust towers. The bascule pivots and operating machinery are housed in the base of each tower. The bridge's present colour scheme dates from 1977, when it was painted red, white and blue for the Queen Elizabeth II's silver jubilee. Originally it was painted a mid greenish-blue colour.

Bit of a problem when your bosses wife is called Helen. I keep thinking the guy is talking about or to me.
Happy March, witches.
I wanted to post it in march 1st because it's when the Salem Witch Trials started, but I ended up missing.
A minute of silence for those women, men and animals who were either hanged, pressed or burned.
P.S. No one were burned in the Salem Witch Trials.
This reminds me a little bit of what my native Wythenshawe Civic Centre used to look like back in the 1980s and early 1990s...especially the multi-storey car park in the background.
At the risk of giving you a bit too much Piggen, I present a slightly different angle and a detail of the Piggen weir on that lovely foggy day.
Deer Island, New Brunswick, Canada.
In July I went to the Bay of Fundy to photograph fishing weirs.
Weir fishing is a very old method of fishing - the stakes of an ancient fishing weir have been found near to the Bay of Fundy, in Maine, dating back over 5,000 years - and it has been practiced around the world in almost all seaside and riverine cultures going back millennia. Despite challenges, weir fishing continues to be practiced around the largest Bay of Fundy Islands (Grand Manan, Campobello and Deer Island), defying predictions over 40 years ago that it was about to die out. The herring may not come in the same numbers as they used to, but older weirs continue to be maintained and a few new weirs are being built in the hopes of big herring catches. The herring weirs are made from 40-70 foot long stakes pounded into the ocean floor, top poles (thinner, lighter birch or aspen poles around 12- 18 feet tall) and are hung with twine nets. When herring come in to the coastal areas in their huge shoals they are directed, by a fence attached to the shore, into the heart-shaped weir where they are trapped. Although all weirs follow the same design principle, each is unique, its shape dictated by the currents and counter-currents, the type of sea bottom (sand or rock) and whether or not it has an additional pen for holding herring.
If you would like to read about my trip through the largest Bay of Fundy islands of Grand Manan, Deer Island and Compobello Island, take a look at the blog post about my Bay of Fundy Islands trip. There is a an album for the fishing weir series, but you can also look at image from my trips to the Canadian Maritimes going back to 2014.
