Wordsworth wouldn't have bothered with daffodils if he'd seen this lot! Cridling Stubbs, S. Yorkshire
Why bother with a title or a photo description when only a very few people will click on the image with the new format?
The flickr layout continues to suck. Sorry about the lack of comments, on the "bright" side you can just fave the damned thing and walk away without opening it, this is becoming a site designed for a 13 year old child's attention span.
Something about the rendering of this photo bothers me. Perhaps I'll re-do it. Who knows, perhaps some setting over-sharpened it? I seldom use the sharpening tool.
2018: LeMay America's Car Museum
(018/365) Well actually you do have to pay the Ferryman (it is a man) otherwise you ain't going anywhere HFF! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqZEp4Fb6qw
Photo taken through my car windscreen. I'd just collected my daughter off the bus in Waterford city. We were first in line to embark, always exciting to be at the front as you get great views, we saw an Otter on one occasion. Once on board you can get out of your car if you wish & go up the steps for a better view. We didn't bother as it was freezing cold.
This "roll on, roll off" car ferry crosses the River Barrow & transports light vehicles/passengers the 500 metres from Ballyhack in Co. Wexford to Passage East in Co. Waterford & vise versa. It sails constantly all day from 7am to 8pm (10pm in the Summer) as you can see there are just 3 cars on this crossing & there were only 8 of us going back over. In the Summer it would be packed with tourists' cars & it takes much longer to load up.
Although it costs €12 return (or €30 for 6 crossings on a saver ticket) we live less than 10 minutes drive from Ballyhack so I tend to go this way to Waterford city as the other option is a 50-60 minute drive via New Ross often stuck in slow moving traffic.
I went to Hodge Close in the Lake District recently and wrote a short blog about my day there.

Pacific Gull
≠====================≠
Not every drop is successful.
The Gull has missed the rocks and the urchin landed in the soft mud and needed to be dug out to be dropped again, elsewhere.

PLEASE: Do not post any comment graphics, they will be deleted. See info in my bio.
Shot with two off-camera strobes (Godox AD200Pro/Godox XPro II L trigger), bare bulb, mounted on overhead boom, bounced off white ceiling. 24 x 32 inch reflector camera right, perpendicular to subject.
This shot was accidentally deleted and is being added back to my account. Happy to receive your comments and faves again (some were quite funny), but no need to comment or fave again.
The title might seem like a stretch, but if that bothers you maybe it's you who should stand up and stretch a little.

(So I'm obsessed with books. We have a HUGE book sale in October where there's books for a dollar and I like to refer to it as my Christmas lol.
I procrastinated on doing this: firstly because I wanted to avoid light, because I'm favoring sun flares, and secondly because I was watching Gray's Anatomy
I just couldn't keep my face still at that aperture : /
I might replace this on a second attempt later but I'm too tired from school to bother with it any more tonight
-also, I'm resolved to not square crop the next one - shooting in 620 makes me think in squares)
Been some time since my last post, been quite busy as of late. Anyways, this was an interesting outing we had with these adult American Dippers feeding their young in the nest. We had visited this site weeks before and the rushing water was very powerful. On this return trip we waded in the flowing gentle water and watched both parents take turns feeding the two babies. They were not bothered by the campers rope swinging under the bridge which was mind boggling!
this little fellow is five days old, he doesn't even have a name yet.
the picture didn't turn out exactly how i wanted, but i didn't want to bother him too much, so i took just a few poses

Although she wasn't in pain, this Spotted Towhee kept looking at her foot and pecking at it with her beak. I think the thorn was bothering her foot. Birds often land on thorny branches, and usually it doesn't bother them one bit because the birds weigh so little. I don't think she was in pain because she could have moved her foot!
Don't bother saying you're sorry
Why don't you come in?
Smoke all my cigarettes again.
Every time I get no further.
How long has it been?
Come on in now...

-Pulp, "Like A Friend". Released 1998.
When the Alcan Highway consisted of 1,500 miles of very rough dirt road - many vehicles lost their hub caps and never knew it. If you visit the village of Champagne - (located on the original roadbed that is now by-passed.) - you will see this impressive display when you reach the small settlement. Don't bother asking if you can buy any of them, because as the sign clearly states - they are not for sale.
If you enlarge this photo - you just may spot one you lost many long years ago.
18th December 2020:
What a difference a day makes. Raining again and blowing a howler, so a quick photo out of the hall window of the December view.
Hadn't got the camera on the right settings, but then couldn't be bothered with a retake. Partly because as I'm also waiting for important news from my sister and don't want to be far from the laptop.

East Clive, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand
I wasn't sure I could be bothered to get out of bed this morning to shoot the sunrise, but when the alarm went off @ 4:30am and I looked out the window, and I could see the sky starting to turn pink already, I thought I should head out.
The thermometer said 21°C when I headed out the door so it was a nice warm start to the day.
This shot is looking from the waterways along the south coast of Hawke Bay, looking towards Cape Kidnappers, past the lights of Haumoana and Te Awanga.
60002 Graham Farish 50th Anniversary 1970 - 2020 approaches Boldon West Jn. (immediately west of Brockley Whins Metro station), where it will diverge onto the branch to Tyne Dock. It is working 6N19 09.59 Lynemouth Power Station - Tyne Coal Terminal biomass empties. [Pole, 5/6 sections (~6.8m)]
All the weather forecasts the previous evening had suggested sunny intervals near the coast until about 9am this morning (with maps showing lots of cloud) and then full cloud for the rest of the day. I'd therefore not bothered to make an effort to get out and about early this morning, but woke to a completely clear sky! There was nothing of interest on the Durham Coast Line south of Sunderland (the Drax biomass trains haven't run for a week or two; in fact, one set of wagons was taken to Peterborough for the nocturnal class 99 testing last week, but returned north at the weekend).
Weather maps were now suggesting there would be plenty of blue sky around until around lunchtime (and the first shot I failed to get in full sun was the first - and only - one I took after midday), and I noticed 60002 had run to Lynemouth (and 60056 was already setting off from Tyne Dock with a loaded train). Reports are that GBRf is to dispose of its class 60s before the end of 2025, so I was keen to get more pictures, and at new locations.
But where should I do 60002? Realistically, it was too late to get to the Ashington area (and if the clouds filled in - as originally forecast - it would be a wasted journey, including a pair of Tyne Tunnel tolls), so I needed to stay south of the Tyne. The long bridge at Pelaw (east of the station) was an obvious place, but I'd shot biomass trains from there many times before; it's my go-to place. I'd also recently shot the biomass from the station platform at Pelaw (and the shot from the footbridge by the station is OK, but a little head-on).
I decided to have a look at the shots around Brockley Whins. I considered one from the end of the Newcastle-bound platform, using a slight telephoto lens and positioning the train as it turned off onto the branch. That would have worked very well, I think, but lineside trees meant I would have had to stand very close to the platform edge. I then looked at the shot from the ramp down to the Sunderland-bound platform, having seen fairly recent shots taken here by someone who is not a pole user. I'd done something here before, stood right at the top of the ramp and angling the camera to include all of the station (see this photo). I hadn't been completely happy with that image, as there was a tall lamppost in the middle (which meant the pole was extended more than looked natural) plus the train was only in the right-hand side of the frame. But I realised if I stood beside the lamppost half way down the ramp and only tried to include part of the station, there was probably an improved image - although well over half the train was hidden behind trees.
With plenty of time before 6N19 would appear, I went to look at the angles from the station access road, intending to shoot a few Metro services there. I'd done a shot from here in April 2023 (see this photo), just after the Lynemouth biomass trains had restarted after a pause of six and a half months, but had a recollection it was a 66 not a 60 (when I checked, my recollection was right). I'd also not managed to get any good Metro pictures on that occasion. So I tried a couple of spots with Metro services, and then, when 6N19 got the road at Pelaw, wasn't sure I'd left myself enough time to get back to the station - so stayed put! This is, of course, quite different from the April 2023 shot, because I'm stood more head-on (so not including the road) and have also used a longer lens. At least one Metro photo taken standing further back and using a wider lens (so including the road) will be uploaded in due course.
Only after downloading the photo did I spot a problem... I'd planned to allow the loco to run further forward, up to the OHL mast on the right-hand side, knowing that the shadow of the OHL mast on the left was short and didn't reach the loco. What I'd not realised was that the shadows of the cantilever arms (two from the same mast here, because there is a wired crossover just over my right shoulder) were very noticeable on the side of the loco; they weren't on the shots I took of Metro services in front of 6N19. So I've chosen an earlier frame and cropped it on the right to avoid the loco being bang in the centre of the frame.
This photos shows quite clearly how much lower the 1,500V Tyne and Wear Metro wires are in comparison with standard Network Rail 25kV.

Mike's extended Welsh family. The Goat Whisperer in action!
We had set off hoping to capture waterfalls and greyness but on our first climb we rounded a corner to be met with 23+ goats! Not at all bothered by Darcy the Congo Mountain Schnauzer and Pepper the Stokie Border Terrorist they were chilled as fook for a Sunday!
More images to follow of this Welsh Mountain Goat herd.....

These were taken in the early part of Sept. shortly after we returned from Kodiak, Alaska and I just haven't gotten around to posting them. They are the summer brood of the resident gray fox on the homestead. They were chasing voles in the barnyard and were not particularly bothered by the strange animal with monocular vision that insisted on following them around. They kept an eye on me but continued chasing voles and grasshoppers . They must be a fairly omniverous species because they caught and consumed a number of the large long horn locust while I was photographing them.
Click on any. They are posted both separately and in the comments.
He never used to bother with house plants before but lately I've noticed my spider plant has been munched on. I'm not sure what's changed with him that he needs to bother with the plants now.

“It bothers me that no one has the patience to deal with someone who is just sad.” - Emily Haines
this quote doesn't go very well with this picture, but i wanted to use it today.
i don't want to be one of those people who ignore when someone is just sad, for no reason. who don't want to deal with them. who don't want to comfort them. who don't care.
i will do my best.
should probably mention that this is my sister, not me. haha

Rain, and lots of it, is a fact of life out here. It bothers the animals very little. Taking a cue from them, I did walk around the patch myself, got wet, but otherwise had a fine time.
'Burmese Blossom' of the Canal Boat club fleet, passes along the Grand Union canal, Welton. The blue narrowboat contrasting nicely with the locely autumnal colours along here. A shame about the tacky name which is nothing more than a sticker, and they look wonky on all of their fleet, not helped by the curved bows of the boats of course. I hate htis so much, that I usually don`t bother photographing them. However, typically during my session here, 5 boats passed, and three were Cananl Boat club examples!.

Zion National Park is an American national park located in southwestern Utah near the city of Springdale. A prominent feature of the 229-square-mile (590 km2) park is Zion Canyon, which is 15 miles (24 km) long and up to 2,640 ft (800 m) deep. The canyon walls are reddish and tan-colored Navajo Sandstone eroded by the North Fork of the Virgin River. The lowest point in the park is 3,666 ft (1,117 m) at Coalpits Wash and the highest peak is 8,726 ft (2,660 m) at Horse Ranch Mountain. Located at the junction of the Colorado Plateau, Great Basin, and Mojave Desert regions, the park has a unique geography and a variety of life zones that allow for unusual plant and animal diversity. Numerous plant species as well as 289 species of birds, 75 mammals (including 19 species of bat), and 32 reptiles inhabit the park's four life zones: desert, riparian, woodland, and coniferous forest. Zion National Park includes mountains, canyons, buttes, mesas, monoliths, rivers, slot canyons, and natural arches. Human habitation of the area started about 8,000 years ago with small family groups of Native Americans, one of which was the semi-nomadic Basketmaker Anasazi (c. 300). Subsequently, the Virgin Anasazi culture (c. 500) and the Parowan Fremont group developed as the Basketmakers settled in permanent communities. Both groups moved away by 1300 and were replaced by the Parrusits and several other Southern Paiute subtribes. Mormons came into the area in 1858 and settled there in the early 1860s. In 1909, President William Howard Taft named the area Mukuntuweap National Monument in order to protect the canyon. In 1918, the acting director of the newly created National Park Service, Horace Albright, drafted a proposal to enlarge the existing monument and change the park's name to Zion National Monument, Zion being a term used by the Mormons. According to historian Hal Rothman: "The name change played to a prevalent bias of the time. Many believed that Spanish and Indian names would deter visitors who, if they could not pronounce the name of a place, might not bother to visit it. The new name, Zion, had greater appeal to an ethnocentric audience." On November 20, 1919, Congress redesignated the monument as Zion National Park, and the act was signed by President Woodrow Wilson. The Kolob section was proclaimed a separate Zion National Monument in 1937, but was incorporated into the national park in 1956. The geology of the Zion and Kolob canyons area includes nine formations that together represent 150 million years of mostly Mesozoic-aged sedimentation. At various periods in that time warm, shallow seas, streams, ponds and lakes, vast deserts, and dry near-shore environments covered the area. Uplift associated with the creation of the Colorado Plateau lifted the region 10,000 feet (3,000 m) starting 13 million years ago. The park is located in southwestern Utah in Washington, Iron and Kane counties. Geomorphically, it is located on the Markagunt and Kolob plateaus, at the intersection of three North American geographic provinces: the Colorado Plateau, the Great Basin, and the Mojave Desert. The northern part of the park is known as the Kolob Canyons section and is accessible from Interstate 15, exit 40. The 8,726-foot (2,660 m) summit of Horse Ranch Mountain is the highest point in the park; the lowest point is the 3,666-foot (1,117 m) elevation of Coal Pits Wash, creating a relief of about 5,100 feet (1,600 m). Streams in the area take rectangular paths because they follow jointing planes in the rocks. The stream gradient of the Virgin River, whose North Fork flows through Zion Canyon in the park, ranges from 50 to 80 feet per mile (9.5 to 15.2 m/km) (0.9–1.5%)—one of the steepest stream gradients in North America. The road into Zion Canyon is 6 miles (9.7 km) long, ending at the Temple of Sinawava, which is named for the coyote god of the Paiute Indians. The canyon becomes more narrow near the Temple and a hiking trail continues to the mouth of The Narrows, a gorge only 20 feet (6 m) wide and up to 2,000 feet (610 m) tall. The Zion Canyon road is served by a free shuttle bus from early April to late October and by private vehicles the other months of the year. Other roads in Zion are open to private vehicles year-round. The east side of the park is served by Zion-Mount Carmel Highway (SR-9), which passes through the Zion–Mount Carmel Tunnel and ends at Mount Carmel. On the east side of the park, notable park features include Checkerboard Mesa and the East Temple. The Kolob Terrace area, northwest of Zion Canyon, features a slot canyon called The Subway, and a panoramic view of the entire area from Lava Point. The Kolob Canyons section, further to the northwest near Cedar City, features one of the world's longest natural arches, Kolob Arch. Other notable geographic features of the park include the Virgin River Narrows, Emerald Pools, Angels Landing, The Great White Throne, and Court of the Patriarchs. Spring weather is unpredictable, with stormy, wet days being common, mixed with occasional warm, sunny weather. Precipitation is normally heaviest in March. Spring wildflowers bloom from April through June, peaking in May. Fall days are usually clear and mild; nights are often cool. Summer days are hot (95 to 110 °F; 35 to 43 °C), but overnight lows are usually comfortable (65 to 70 °F; 18 to 21 °C). Afternoon thunderstorms are common from mid-July through mid-September. Storms may produce waterfalls as well as flash floods. Autumn tree-color displays begin in September in the high country; in Zion Canyon, autumn colors usually peak in late October. Winter in Zion Canyon is fairly mild. Winter storms bring rain or light snow to Zion Canyon and heavier snow to the higher elevations. Clear days may become quite warm, reaching 60 °F (16 °C); nights are often 20 to 40 °F (−7 to 4 °C). Winter storms can last several days and make roads icy. Zion roads are plowed, except the Kolob Terrace Road which is closed when covered with snow. Winter driving conditions last from November through March.

A weird shot for today I suppose. Got onto the subject of faith again today and what happens and where you go.
I've mentioned before that I don't have a faith and this fact does bother me greatly. I hope that one day I may 'find' faith - but until then I guess it's just words and clouds.
Hope you have all had a lovely weekend :)
HSS!!
It was cold (in the single digits) and snowing, but this golden-mantled ground squirrel didn't seem to be the least bit bothered.
The freezing rain didn't seem to bother this male Cardinal.
Thank you for your comments! Have a great weekend!
They didn't bother to carpet the stairs, just put this heavy duty plastic down instead. But they did carpet the landings.
It might have been cheaper than carpet, but it's going to mean twice as much work for the weekly cleaning crew.

Even if it is soft at 300mm... I don't think it will bother me much because I am more likely to use it at under 200mm. The extra 100mm will be just in case, and I think very usable. :)
