A bit of brightness on a grey and windy day.
I love Ranunculus, densely layered, and this bloom opened beautifully, not always evident, their stems are extremely delicate and do tend to just collapse before the bud can open into a gorgeous voluptuous bloom...
For years I 'experimented' in the studio, to get that Flemish painter's light?
Well, I was born in Flanders, it must be in my blood? LOL.
With love to you and thanK you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

A bit of pareidolia while hunting for keyhole possibilities for #MacroMondays on 12/16. There are several ‘serious’ ones in the album for the theme but I just love the frog!
…….💙🔓HMM🔓💙
For Macro Mondays 'Initials' theme - this is my very first and very recently acquired marathon medal. One of the few things I'm actually quite proud of, worked very hard for a 4:33:41 finish. The initial ABP is for Associated British Ports, the title sponsors.
Went for a wander in Abbeyford Woods with my friend Fran (who managed to get us lost ... which was rather amusing) ... the light wasn't great and avoiding copious amounts of dog poop meant I didn't get a great deal of interesting images ... but I love this one :D
Think I used the Takumar 55mm ... but to be honest I forget :D
Getting a bit of later start than usual, the Night Gas gets underway westbound as afternoon thunderstorms build over the mountains around Missoula. Wish I'd put on a bit heavier of a lens to bring in the mountains a bit more, but given how the first 8 days of the trip had gone anything by this point was just bonus materials.

Bit desperate for a shot today again, Storm Austen has made it very wet here today, plus time was limited as Oldmangellyroo had an appointment at the hospital this morning. Fortunately there was a brief lull, so bravely I shot out into the garden, got on my knees and fired off a few quick shots, muddying said knees in the process - I don't stay clean for long!
This is the view of the top floor of the structure next to Wind Tree in the Winyard Quarter on Auckland's waterfront.
It is a strange structure but certainly has some nice lines. I watched the Matariki lights on the bridge from up here. I totally expected there to be lots of people, I was mistaken.

Still adding album fodder, it's a big album with over eighty photo's in it.. The photo's are in the order that they was taken..
Up above Hartsop, a great place to hike.
A bit of monsoonal rain on the north coast of Trinidad island, Maracas Bay lookout, nothing spectacular, but this will be my only upload from that island as photo opportunities were very rare. It's also as close as my ass will ever get to Venezuela!
Greetings from Ilopango lake, El Salvador, my last night in Central America.

This previous summer the Central Maine & Quebec did a trackwork blitz on their Moosehead Subdivision, and it really shows, as track speeds are a consistent 25 MPH across the entire line (and many spots could easily handle faster speeds). Job 1 is seen from the Route 6/15 overpass at Moosehead hammering down as they split away from Moosehead Lake, and head west towards Tarratine. I'm glad I spent quite a bit of time this fall documenting the Red Barns on the Moosehead; it was nice to see former CP engines on the an old CP line. All of the SD40-2Fs have now been repainted; however, the 9017 still wears a bit of red, it was selected to wear a Bangor & Aroostook heritage scheme.

BBC News 25 September 2025:
Sir Keir Starmer is expected to announce plans for a compulsory UK-wide digital ID scheme in a speech on Friday.
The prime minister believes it would help crack down on illegal working and modernise the state, according to senior figures in government.
The practicalities of the scheme will be subject to a consultation, which will also look at how to make it work for those without a smartphone or passport.
On the other hand:
Arguments against national ID cards in the UK primarily centre on concerns over privacy, civil liberties, and cost. Opponents argue that a mandatory national ID scheme would fundamentally alter the relationship between the individual and the state, shifting the perception of identity from something inherent to the person to something granted and controlled by the government.
There are significant doubts about the effectiveness of ID cards in achieving their stated goals, such as tackling illegal immigration or crime. Critics contend that people working "off the books" or involved in criminal activity would simply operate outside of the system.
A centralised database of personal information would be a prime target for hackers and could lead to mass surveillance, tracking, and profiling of citizens, (as if it didn't happen already). I mean - like most people I have a passport, a driving licence, a bank account, an NHS number and a mobile phone. - what more do they need to keep watch on me?
Bit undecided which l prefer about this Image.This Building was the old Pilot Offices in Queen Street near Hull Pier. It was built in 1821. Now converted into apartments with nice views overlooking The River Humber,
Was a bit nippy standing here for an hour waiting for some light but finally got some as the snow clouds broke over The Trossachs.
A bit of a miracle getting so close to this species as they are extremely shy and wary. Normally they spot you and hide. However, on passage migration they appear to be much more confiding. They are usually found on desolate moorland and mountain sides but on passage migration they have been recorded on the coast and even in peoples gardens. They will stay if you have berries!

Slightly smaller and slimmer than a blackbird - male ring ouzels are particularly distinctive with their black plumage with a pale wing panel and striking white breast band. The ring ouzel is primarily a bird of the uplands, where it breeds mainly in steep sided valleys, crags and gullies, from near sea level in the far north of Scotland up to 1,200m in the Cairngorms.
Breeding begins in mid-April and continues through to mid-July, with two broods common, and nests are located on or close to the ground in vegetation (typically in heather), in a crevice, or rarely in a tree. The young are fed a diet consisting mainly of earthworms and beetles.
Overview
Latin name
Turdus torquatus
Family
Chats and thrushes (Turdidae)
Where to see them
Ring ouzels can be found in upland areas of Scotland, northern England, north west Wales and Dartmoor. When on spring and autumn migration they may be seen away from their breeding areas, often on the east and south coasts of the UK where they favour short grassy areas.
When to see them
Ring ouzels arrive in March and April and leave again in September.
What they eat
Insects and berries
UK Breeding:-
6,200-7,500 pairs
Conservation
22 July 2011
The first national survey in 1999 estimated the UK ring ouzel population at 6,157-7,549 pairs, with further range contractions and a likely 58 per cent decline in population size since 1988-91.
Recent studies aimed at understanding these declines suggest that low first-year, and possibly adult, survival may be the main demographic mechanisms driving the population decline. The large population decline qualifies the ring ouzel for inclusion on the red list of birds of conservation concern.

For "Macro Mondays" group theme "Currency"
'thruppenny bits' are 12 sided nickel-brass coins used in Britain from 1937 until 31 August 1971 when they ceased to be legal tender. During that period they were worth 3 pence of the 240 pence that made up £1.
I stood a row of 9 coins on a mirror - all these date within the reign of our present Queen, whilst the other laid flat is older from the time of George VI - this has a representation of thrift. The coins are about 22-24mm in diameter depending where you measure them - they aren't round!
