A bit of rain falls from a majestic cloud at the Mogollon Rim.
BTW here's my gallery on the pandemic: www.flickr.com/photos/pagedooley/galleries/72157713560199...
BNSF 4043 leads the H-LAUDEN1-02A south through the soaring cliffs above the Bighorn River in jaw dropping Wind River Canyon.
A bit late for the holiday season, but presented in the spirit of Santa. A weather-worn Limber Pine anchored in granite clings to the slopes of Grassy Top, with the afternoon sun warming its trunk. I'm not sure of the age of the older trees on this slope, but based on nearby trees that I've cored I'd guess this individual might be a bit over 300 years old.
A bit of a Mary Poppins type shot here but instead of the rooftops of London it is the rooftops of St Ives. I have shot this view from the passenger seat through the open passenger car door window many times. It is a well known beautiful view whenever you are taking the outbound road from St Ives towards Carbis Bay. On this particular day I was stretching my neck as usual to 'grab ' a shot when Jonathan spotted a gap on the road and pulled in and parked for just a couple of minutes. I was enchanted by the little garden foreground left, that being below the view from the car window I had never spotted before and was enchanted by both that and the wonderful view from that vantage point…..
St Ives is a town in Cornwall, England, known for its surf beaches, like Porthmeor, and its art scene. The seafront Tate St Ives gallery has rotating modern art exhibitions, focusing on British artists. Nearby, the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, in the modernist artist’s former studio, displays her bronzes and other works. Boat trips go to Seal Island, just west of town, to see the seal colony….
The large Tower belongs to St Ia's Church, St Ives, is a parish church in the Church of England in St Ives, Cornwall, UK. It is dedicated to Ia of Cornwall, a 5th- or 6th-century Irish saint, and is a Grade I listed building..
I had seen this Moss growing on a wall and after a very wet night it looked very fresh is some early morning sunlight.

A bit busy today, so it's my Macro Mondays theme photo for my one a day.
The card was given to us for Christmas by a friend. She saves all her old cards and is given others by friends and each year she makes her own for friends from parts of her card collection. Every one unique.

Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
A bit of snowy ice floats by the Hooded Merganser at Bombay Hook NWR, Delaware. The sun just lifted off the horizon. A cloudy sunrise.
Been a bit distracted lately but one thing I was working on was a B&W shot of the garlic family, This is one shot from that study.
It seems like I took this a long time ago but I see it wasn't that long. I hope this shot provides a moment of distraction.
All the best in these turbulent times and hope this day finds you safe and in good health! The cause of my distraction and reason I've been a bit absent from flickr lately is I'm approaching retirement and I'm a bit stressed. I was looking to finish out my 40 year career in style, big luncheon planned, lot's of hugging, reminiscing with old friends. Now with the added concern over COVID-19, we postponed the luncheon and I've been working from home for the last week. I cleared out my desk from work but still have another week, 10 days to be precise until my last day on 31 March. Very strange indeed and now I just want to get to the 31st and quell some of this anxiety along with the uncertainty of COVID-19. Well, I'll hang in there so we'll see!
Hunker down, wash those hands and keep your distance from other folk but most of all remember that we're all in this together.

Had a little bit of time to capture some floral photos today.
I used a slightly different approach today. Used Program (P) mode.
I am still struggling a little to get just the right adjustment in Lightroom. I knew just what to do in GIMP to get the color levels right, but I am sure over time I will figure it out.
Critique is welcomed.
Thank you all very much for your visits, favs and comments.
I was a bit suprised when looking back at the pics to see this gull staring right at me .Talk about a poser !!

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. His bag says "Doing Our Bit" in relation to recycling I imagine but it is a suitable title for the pandemic too as both my subject and I are wearing masks here. A 'thank you' was shared between us both after I took this. Enjoy!
Something a bit strange for a Hallowe'en upload - there were numerous examples of this variety of fungi in the conifer woodland, but I spotted one that was strongly backlit by the morning sun, giving it a beautiful orange 'glow' through the translucent body. If anyone knows the ID of this please let me know, it was about 3 cm tall.

Focus stack (50 images) Shot with single off-camera strobe (Godox AD200Pro/XPro II trigger), bare bulb, mounted on overhead boom, bounced off 32 inch white umbrella.
Shot for Macro Mondays - spiral

masonry drill bits differ from normal drill bits in that they have a hardened cutting tip (usually tungsten carbide) that is used to chip/grind hard materials such as masonry, brick or stone rather than cut through the material. The deeply fluted spiral shape that of the bit helps to remove dust and debris from the hole that is formed. Masonry bits are tippically used in hammer drills that use a combination of percussion and rotation to create a hole of the desired dimension
The last little bit of color as winter takes hold. The colors were enhanced by the rain, which made a lovely picture in an otherwise pretty ordinary view from a window. 20171216WestLakeHillsDxoLr1
Bit of a shock compared to Hampshire but I am lucky enough to be working in Iceland for a week. Heavy snow, then glorious sunshine and then around that corner a snow storm ( or light flurry if you are Icelandic). Prepared to be bored everybody.
Given the Beauty of this Flower and its Visitor, clearly the Devil lost! The ancient story goes that the vernacular name of Succisella inflexa, Southern Devil's Bit (Morsus diaboli), goes back on the enmity between the Devil and Beneficial Nature. Our Scabious once in the dawn of humanity was a Heal-All, much to the dismay of the Devil who sought only anguish for humankind. Out of pure spite he bit off the main part of Scabious's root - regard its shallow rooting today - hoping the plant would die. Hence 'Devil's Bit'. Of course, Succisella didn't die but it did lose its healing powers. In compensation it remained attractive and beautiful, full of Plenty for myriad insects among which Butterflies and also this marvelous Hoverfly.
Belted Flyer. Volucella zonaria, by the standard of Hoverfly sizes, is very large; it measures about 2.5 cm (=almost an inch) compared to the 2-3 mm (.09 inch) of the smallest ones. And Zonaria's color is striking as well, very orange-yellow, mimicking a Hornet. So often it's called the Hornet Hoverfly. Entirely harmless, though; not a devil at all in her!
University started again and it's very interesting, but my schedule is really full as always and it's kinda exhausting already. So I will be (hopefully not to long) a bit missing on flickr. Additionally I have a flu since one week. Good news is my visit of munich was fantastic! Lots of sightseeing in one day - new record I think.
Have a wonderful monday friends!
A little bit of sunshine goes a long way, especially in these dark winter days.

……We are all feeling a bit battered at the moment as we all try to cope with a new way of living in these unprecedented times. This farm entrance has had a run-in with bigger machinery that seems to grow larger every year! Wishing you all the very best with your Lock-Down - Stay at HOME to stay safe and to NOT be a vehicle to the virus, Alan:-)

Fun time with some coins, lightbox, and color prism. Hope you enjoy this series as much as I liked playing around with the light and angles of the light.
Sometimes described as a wooden Thrup'nny bit this coin was worth 1/80 of a pound and bears some resemblance to the present pound coin having 12 sides and golden colour. I chose this for the "Redux" theme on currency.
I've probably been in Thailand too long to think that the water of Emerald Lake would be anything other than freezing cold. Call me soft but even though it was a really hot day I only lasted a few seconds paddling in the lake
Just a bit too slow to capture an actual resident of this pretty mews in Kensington.
"The word "mews" comes from the French word muer, meaning "to moult," originating from the Royal Mews at Charing Cross where royal hawks were housed during their feather-shedding season. When the hawks moved, the site was converted into stables for horses and carriages, but the name "mews" stuck, eventually describing similar stable-and-coach-house buildings built behind grand London homes.
