A telephoto shot. It's the first time I've ever seen a wild Canadian goose brooding on a nest. This was photographed at a wild bird refuge near Eugene, OR.
I finally reinstated my Nikon D300, which had been on furlough in my closet for some time, (thanks to my son's instance). We are enjoying becoming reacquainted with it and its compliment of lenses.
Work has begun on the brooder we are making for the 60 chicks set to arrive next weekend. We started by removing plywood from a workroom. A trip to the farm store was needed for chicken wire.
Akershus fortress is still a military area. As well as the castle and royal chapel, visitors can see the Norwegian Armed Forces Museum and the Norwegian Resistance Museum within the fortress area. The Norwegian Ministry of Defence and Defence Staff Norway, (the armed forces headquarters), have a joint modern headquarters in the eastern part of Akershus.
Cod Beck Reservoir during a period of four amazing sunrises/sunsets in three days. FOUR in THREE days! This one didn't actually turn out to be as colourful as the others in that period, but the structure in these snow clouds was amazing. Especially when the temperature of the light is added with warmth below and coldness above. A fantastic location I've discovered recently and one that is a go-to spot for sunset. There's also very easy access for a great walk round the banks too.
Thank you Vintage Racer for your help w/ this. I like this b&w conversion more.

looking like a spotty brood pattern, needs to be checked out further.
In this case, the queen was getting old.
There is this great tree at my son's school. I just had to have a picture of it. I thought it would make a good background texture.
Where brooding darkness
Spreads his jealous wings
There on beds of violet blue
Sometimes with secure delight
Thoughts dwell in some idle brain
Like one that had been led astray
I sing the song of sins unforgiven
For the beautiful, conquering tide of it
Doing whatever the spirit wills
And floating voices tell all what we do
The night is dark and I am far from home
I'd love to choose and see my path
But could it be love made
That blinds me wicked from such sight
To passions so full of innocent regret
A dream remembers no past
Giving no thoughts for tomorrow
Pressed a fierce, cruel kiss and did not cease
Until our hot thirsts were satisfied
Our joys as winged dreams did fly
Into the dark arms of vengeance's fury
I heard the distant thunder roll

Brood -to think alone.
No sure what I think about this one... a lot of editing. And I think it has more of a "fireflies" feel to it, rather than "thinking alone." Meh. Oh well.
So...I got four into this project and fell majorly behind. Shocker. Hopefully will pick it up better. Trying to savor the last moments of summer!
Quinton has grown considerably in recent years, but Lower Quinton still retains a palpable atmosphere of the past. Friday Street is lined with lined with half-timbered and Georgian houses and the church of St Swithin is one of the most interesting in the area, with the brooding mass of Meon hill beyond, infamous for the unsolved murder of Charles Walton in 1945 with its rumours of witchcraft. An elegant church with north and south aisles and west tower with a tall C15 spire visible for miles around. The south aisle is c 1100 and is thought to have been cut through the Saxon wall of an earlier church, while the north aisle shows the transition from round to pointed arches and is c 1170. The chancel is Early English and above the chancel arch the arms of Elizabeth I are still visible. A clerestory was added in the C15 and the nave has a late C16 oak roof. The aisles end in chapels to Our Lady and St Anne built in the C13 and C14. A Norman font stands by the north door. There are five Armorial windows designed by Geoffrey Webb between 1929-32. Webb asked local school children to suggest subjects to decorate the blank panes. At the end of the Transitional north aisle the Lady Chapel has an east window which incorporates a C14 niche which houses a modern Virgin and Child. Fragments of the original glass fill the tracery and Webb has designed panels depicting the Virgin's Life. The Chancel c 1255, was restored in 1862, when a large window by F. Preedy was inserted in the blank east wall. The south aisle has a chapel dedicated to St Anne which has a double piscina and a triple sedilla, 1340. The jewel of this chapel is an Altar tomb to Joanna, Lady Clopton c 1430 who entered a religious order after the death of her husband. The brass shows her wearing a wimple and a widows barbe. She originally lay next to her husband Sir William, but they were separated in 1749 and his effigy is now lies between the south aisle and the nave. Sir William is depicted in full armour, though he is thought to have been the victim of Parliamentary troops, who damaged the sculpture.
