Wheal Coates is an old mine we passed while hiking along the South West Coastal Path.

Ok... :) Since we are still under a coat of Winter white here. I thought I'd post a shot I took a few years back to represent Spring!

I did however hear a rumor that Spring was just around the corner for us in the North. We wait with bated breath LOL :-D

Hi dear friends, this week another test with another new lens, the Sigma 150-600 "C", only the first impressions in one day in the Zoo.., I have a lot of problems for the right focus to the max length.. I need a lot of clicks more!!!

I wish you a fantastic weekend my friends!!

Cornwall.

We visited the Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden last Sunday. Jasper's coat looks rather full in this shot. And it IS a rather full coat. He's looking forward to October when the high temperatures abate. (Oops. I just noticed that Jasper is sitting on the Edwin B. Wainscott memorial stone. I don't know who Edwin was, but I hope he liked dogs.)

The first wave of the storm arrived in the wee hours of the morning with thunder, snow squalls, and continued high winds. The snow covered all except the steepest rock faces and the areas protected by the overhang of White Rim Sandstone. A layer of ice coated many of the rock surfaces as the snow melted initially and then froze. A brief respite in the storm with a few breaks in the clouds after sunrise allowed a view toward the Maze District of Canyonlands NP, including Ekker Butte in the center of the frame.

Enough of all the scary stuff.... back to pretty autumn. This is very close to home; wet days have their compensations.

HBM!

Deep inside a beech forest. Not a person for miles, nothing that you can see moving, yet the air is full of the sounds of movement.

Lotus Flower. The stemen tips look like a school of small fish. The central core was such a delicate green.

Heading to Wells Gray I stopped on the side of the highway going through Spences Bridge to shoot Arthur Seat mountain covered in fresh snow. Happy Weekend !! Kris..

Ja, früher trug man die Mäntel etwas länger!

I liked the colourful coat on this horse in the fields beyond Loosely Row. Taken on my walk last week

Each rose on the bush is different.

After a hard day at work, I was out and about and I wanted to enjoy the fresh air and the beginning of autumn. I also hoped for one or the other photo. Just switch off and enjoy. There was a classical concert in the nearby castle and suddenly I saw a neighbor in the distance. She waved to me with something in her hand. She is friendly and nice, but also very curious, which for me was a kind of Code Red :-)! She said she had a ticket left and whether I wanted to go with her. Usually am friendly and explain why I something don't want . To this day it is an enigma to me how I managed to say, briefly and directly - no, thank you. I quickly took the photo, put on my headphones and beamed myself up with Metallica :-) because that was, what matters for me that day.

Thank you for taking your time and looking at it, I really appreciate it.

Another one of my fave areas of Cornwall with all the old mine workings, This is at Chapel Porth near St Agnes on a rare sunny day .

The Bison on a local farm have heavy coats to deal with the snowfalls this winter. Today, my coat kept me very warm on our walk but my cheeks got truly rosy with the cold temps.

What do you do when you and your daughter walk into a store and both fall in love with the same coat????

Taz losing her winter coat. How interesting the colour change.

This photo was taken mid-September and now Taz has completely lost her winter coat is is looking rather sleek in all black.

A drone photo from above the Cuillin ridge from my Skye trip in November, on a perfect winter day. I must admit one of my best ever memories was doing the ridge in summer, , and even though I've done a few sections in winter under snow and ice, I don't think I'c be up to doing the whole ridge in such conditions. My favourite stretch in winter was a day on Pinnacle ridge on Sgurr Nan Gillean which is the prominent mountain in this view. The cloud inversion made it so special. Coats of Ice is by Damien Jurado. I need to head north again soon if there's a chance of snow.

Wheal Coates is a historic tin mine located on the rugged cliffs of St Agnes in Cornwall, England. Established in the 18th century, it became renowned during the 19th century for its significant tin production. The mine's iconic engine house, perched dramatically above the Atlantic Ocean, is a striking remnant of Cornwall's rich mining heritage. Wheal Coates closed in 1914, but its preserved ruins, including the Towanroath Shaft engine house, are now a popular tourist attraction and part of the UNESCO Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape. The site offers stunning coastal views and insight into Cornwall's industrial past.

After sitting for half an hour waiting to see what might drift near me, this little Australian Grebe chick wandered across the lake to show off its natural fur coat!

I'm not sure if it is anything to do with the camouflage markings blending with the ripples on the water, but I found these little things very hard to focus on. Happy to get this one. The Nikon P900 was working on around a 1500mm focal length equivalent on this shot.

Happy Feathery (furry) Friday!

Those of you who looked at yesterday's post saw a Coyote from September, still wearing its sleek summer coat. This one, from two years ago, is decked out for winter: thicker fur, in which she can withstand the coldest weather. Of course, at 40 below she will probably sleep a lot, curled up in her cozy den in some remote hillside or embankment.

Bella on a windowsill with morning sunshine adding a golden glow to her tabby & white coat. Happy Caturday.

A fellow dog walker made Jack a coat. I put it on him and he refused to move, it was almost like a straightjacket on him :-)

A frosty start to the day had the American Goldfinches all wearing their fluffy down coats, and looking very adorable. This male still shows some faint traces of his brilliant summer plumage and trademark black cap

The sun was setting on a very breezy and cold evening.
