Not really much of a boxing match, few quick jabs and then legged it. Interesting to watch/photograph though.

For some reason the buds on this plant remind me of boxing gloves. I saw this in the Mediterranean Biome at the Eden Project

With the usual Boxing Day activities cancelled this year, it was a case of stay indoors all day or brave the weather and get out for a walk. The walk won, with a strong cold gusty wind and the threat of rain at every turn we still managed just over 4 miles. I only took this one photo looking over towards Great Manshead Hill because it was too cold to keep taking my gloves off. It did manage to stay dry until we got home, just.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
Professional boxing in Gloucester, England - title fight between Danny Carter and Andy Keates
I thought I had a black and white edit of this shot but I didn't... (I guess I liked it better at the time in colour as you can see all the blood splatter from Danny's mouth in glorious technicolour) so here it is... a new edit in glorious monochrome
It was definitely boxing May hares this week. This male (buck) hare had obviously been a little too persistent with this female (doe) and she thought enough is enough!!

Dorian Darch vs Imantas Davidaitis
Whenever I saw Welshman Dorian Darch fight, it was always a blood bath. I think he was one of the guys who cut easily. Here blood streams from a cut as he punches his opponent.
I digress a bit here but I recall the story of a boxing referee who claimed he got HIV from blood spatter in the ring. Easy to understand how that might be true when you see stuff like this. Nowadays, boxers are tested regularly to try to protect from this and I recall a boxer being denied the right to fight by the British Boxing Board of Control because of blood results, Even as a ringside photographer, so further away than the ref, I have had blood spatter go on my face and my camera. Not nice either which way!
This is pro boxing. In white-collar boxing, they don't blood test regularly like pro boxing does so there are even more dangers than just being poorly regulated. Tend to be less blood though at those fights. Just as well.

Unbelievably there were /are 9 engineers trains heading East through Teignmouth and Dawlish today. It was in connection with a major engineering project in the Plymouth area. In addition to the bonus services there was a total block situation along the sea wall, this meant that the trains crawled along this stretch of line at 5 mph, the trains could be in line of sight of each other with no signalling knowing they could come to a stop, even in the tunnels. At one point we had two trains on the same track on the sea wall at Dawlish within sight of each other.
66074 eeks its way along the wall with old track forming the 1031 from Hemerdon to Westbury, 70801 had not long disappeared around the corner at Langstone Cliff.
Plenty of walkers along the sea wall burning off the roast spuds. I think everyone of them asked myself and a few other fellow phottwers what was occurring.
Boxing Day is a holiday celebrated after Christmas Day, occurring on the second day of Christmastide (26 December). Boxing Day was once a day to donate gifts to those in need, but it has evolved to become a part of Christmas festivities, with many people choosing to shop for deals on Boxing Day. It originated in the United Kingdom and is celebrated in several Commonwealth nations
Le Boxing Day est un jour férié célébré après le jour de Noël, qui a lieu le deuxième jour de la période de Noël (le 26 décembre). Le Boxing Day était autrefois un jour pour donner des cadeaux aux personnes moins fortunees, mais il a évolué pour devenir une partie des festivités de Noël, de nombreuses personnes choisissant de faire des achats à prix réduits le lendemain de Noël. Il est né au Royaume-Uni et est célébré dans plusieurs pays du Commonwealth
Our house remained in the mist all Boxing day but a short walk uphill took us into the sunshine - if only for a brief time.

My first visit to the Boxing Gloves on the Northern Edge of Kinder, Its an area that I've just dismissed over the years, always going some place else.
The evening light was forecasted, but as time ticked on it didn't seem like it was going to produce any light, then all of a sudden it broke through the clouds and gave some strong sidelight for 30 minutes.
I decided upon this composition because the rocks and the middle distance are lit up with that lovely glow.
I might share some others, but for now, I'm just enjoying being active again.

Boxing Somerset Hares in Mid February.
At last a period of cold, well actually freezing, and dry weather so an opportunity for a local walk to check on the wildlife.
