It was a close call at CP B274 as the rear of a westbound manifest train barely cleared the crossing in time for an eastbound road switcher with arguably one of the best leaders of the trip.

Addie Loo peeking out my nieces' dollhouse. Had to get a close up version cuz her eyes looked so amazing! Played with color a bit too for a softer feel.
True beauty lies not in distance
But in the quiet details up close

Ormai quando guardo la luna al telescopio non riesco a non viaggiare con la fantasia... e anche se tutti quei crateri, quelle valli, quelle distese di sabbia e selenite hanno dei nomi precisi, io so solo che la luna continua a farmi sognare. Sempre
Buona serata

Just Close up of a Woodpecker at the outskirts of Bengaluru in Karnataka, South India. (C)H.K.Rajashekar.
There is a point when a person is canoeing and taking photo that a transition has to be made between the two because holding the camera with the large lens on it and doing the paddling at the same time is impossible! Some birds even when they are not hunting are rather casual about close encounters as was this young Yellow-crown! If I reach for the paddle...I scare him off...if I don't reach for the paddle I hit the branch that he's perched on! I had to reach for the paddle and the movement frightened him away! Maybe he flew off to a place to find a tasty treat!! Taken where Horsepen bayou joins Mud Lake!

Sometimes you don't need to go looking for the birds - they come to you!!!
I was surprised that this little Red-Browed Finch came so close during a shoot at Hunter Wetlands Centre (Shortland, NSW; Australia) a couple of days ago.
They're usually quite timid and flighty.
I did stay still and in the same spot for a little while capturing a White-cheeked Honeyeater (see previous post!); so he might have got used to me being there!
My 500mm f4L IS lens was tested in its close focusing ability - it is rated at 4.5m / 14.8 ft.
This bird must have been 14.8ft from the end of the lens!!!
You can see just how narrow the DOF is at this aperture this close!
Hope you like it!!
Thanks for any comments, views or favorites -much appreciated!!
Have a wonderful day and week ahead!!
dedicated to Katrin ...

A little too close for comfort! My nerves were shot whilst baking at the top of this hill waiting for the Britannic Explorer to arrive, with an IET rapidly approaching from the opposite direction. 66745 appeared from around the curve at the same time as the nose of the IET appeared. Thankfully it got out of the way (mostly) just in time. The Britannic Explorer crosses Pendalake heading to Bruton from Lostwithiel.
