This doubt is screaming in my face
In this familiar place
Sheltered and concealed
And if this night won't let me rest
Don't let me second guess
What I know to be real
Put away all I know for tonight
And maybe I just might
Learn to let it go
Take my security from me
And maybe finally
I won't have to know everything
I am falling into grace
To the unknown to where you are
And faith makes everybody scared
It's the unknown, the don't-know
That keeps me hanging on and on and on to you

On 9th April, GBRf's 66309 'Charley Wallace' is glimpsed amongst the spring foliage as it descends from Arley Tunnel with 4M29, 10:28 Felixstowe - Hams Hall.
Great Spotted Woodpecker / dendrocopos major. Calke Abbey, Derbyshire. 30/11/16.
Yesterday I was privileged to have a pair of GSW's join me a couple of times when I was staked out in the park. I am assuming it was a pair although it may have been a parent / juvenile of the year combination. There was a lot of vocal and physical interaction between the two birds including posturing, spread wing threat displays and chases.
The image shows the male after he had seen off the other bird. To my delight, he landed on this unobscured branch right in front of me! The noise of the shutter seemed to bemuse him and instead of taking flight, he stuck around trying to figure out what it was.
I, of course, from my concealed position, fed his curiosity by rattling off a volley of shots! It was far too good an opportunity to waste :-)
Der Uhu (Bubo bubo) ist eine Vogelart aus der Gattung der Uhus (Bubo), die zur Ordnung der Eulen (Strigiformes) gehört. Der Uhu ist die größte Eulenart. Uhus haben einen massigen Körper und einen auffällig dicken Kopf mit Federohren. Die Augen sind orangegelb. Das Gefieder weist dunkle Längs- und Querzeichnungen auf. Brust und Bauch sind dabei heller als die Rückseite.
Der Uhu ist ein Standvogel, der bevorzugt in reich strukturierten Landschaften jagt. In Mitteleuropa brütet die Art vor allem in den Alpen sowie den Mittelgebirgen, daneben haben Uhus hier in den letzten Jahrzehnten aber auch das Flachland wieder besiedelt. Die Brutplätze finden sich vor allem in Felswänden und Steilhängen und in alten Greifvogelhorsten, seltener an Gebäuden oder auf dem Boden.

The Eurasian eagle-owl (Bubo bubo) is a species of eagle-owl that resides in much of Eurasia. It is also called the European eagle-owl and in Europe, where it is the only member of its genus besides the snowy owl (B. scandiacus), it is occasionally abbreviated to just eagle-owl. It is one of the largest species of owl, and females can grow to a total length of 75 cm (30 in), with a wingspan of 188 cm (6 ft 2 in), males being slightly smaller.[4] This bird has distinctive ear tufts, with upper parts that are mottled with darker blackish colouring and tawny. The wings and tail are barred. The underparts are a variably hued buff, streaked with darker colour. The facial disc is poorly developed and the orange eyes are distinctive.
Besides being one of the largest living species of owl, it is also one of the most widely distributed. The Eurasian eagle-owl is found in many habitats but is mostly a bird of mountain regions, coniferous forests, steppes and other relatively remote places. It is a mostly nocturnal predator, hunting for a range of different prey species, predominantly small mammals but also birds of varying sizes, reptiles, amphibians, fish, large insects and other assorted invertebrates. It typically breeds on cliff ledges, in gullies, among rocks or in other concealed locations.

This image was taken whilst exploring Cley Hill in Wiltshire, using a converted infrared camera and depicts the town of Warminster almost hidden amongst the trees.
Anyone that has been to this location knows, Warminster is noticeable. This image seems to turn this around and depicts the natural world concealing the urban world.
A rather foggy landscape! Upon seeing the scene in the fog I knew exactly what crop I wanted. Just had to wait for the right timing!
My longtime neighbor in Orange County had a favorite riddle that applied to tackling formidable tasks:
Q: How do you eat an elephant?
A: One bite at a time.
The Chrysler 'Hemi' engines were noticeably larger in size compared to most others and thus gained the nickname of 'Elephant.'
Normally, the 426 Hemi engine would fit under the Charger's hood but this one may have an enhanced induction/intake system (such as a supercharger) that necessitated the bulge lest having a hole in the hood.
This 1969 Dodge Charger looks as if a real elephant was stuffed under the hood!

This photo was taken by a Hasselblad 500C medium format film camera and Carl Zeiss Distagon 1:4 f=50mm lens and Kowa Y2 ø67 filter using Rollei Retro 80S film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitalized with Photoshop.
I thought I would use black and white for this photo of a red ground squirrel protecting his treat from anyone or anything else. The light and shadow created really makes this image more pronounced!

Explored!
I suspect this will offend someone or another but, I’m sorry, when something looks like a bug, to me, it’s a bug and not even an attractive looking bug in my opinion (although off-hand I can't think of any insect that I have found “attractive”)………..
So if your house is infected with the Stout Scarab bug, you need SLUG-a-BUG. It’s proven safe (or reasonably safe) for children, pets and even mother-in-laws (although the latter may not be what you’re looking for ). As far as I know the Stout Scarab bug is not particularly harmful, but it is distressful to look at and just think how you would feel having special guests over, relaxing in your living room as you are in the process of serving aperitifs’ when to your horror, a Stout Scarab crawls (or rolls) across your floor. How embarrassing! Your husband jumps to his feet and hollers, “Slug-a-Bug! Not a pleasant thing especially with your husband’s boss and his wife in the room…….
The low down on a Stout Scarab ---------------- (my inserts in italics))
When the Stout Scarab was introduced, there was nothing on the road quite like it. (I can understand that! ) Outside, it looked more like it was built by an airplane designer (or a Russian construction worker ) than by an automaker. In-fact, it was. (was what?) William B. Stout served as chief engineer of Packard's aircraft division during World War I. After the War, (suffering from acute “shell shock”) he designed a high-winged monoplane without the struts and wires that characterized earlier aircraft. Still later, his design for a three-engine commercial aircraft served as the inspiration for the successful Ford Tri-Motor. (thank God the Ford Tri-Motor didn’t look like this!
Not only did it have a unit construction body made out of light aluminum beer cans, it featured the famous 90 horsepower Ford flathead V8 engine placed at its exterior driving the rear wheels via a Stout-built three-speed manual transaxle. It has a 135-inch length (we not talking about a little ant here folks)!, 4-wheel independent coil spring suspension, and the most spacious (stomach) of any American car as the result of no running boards and no drive shaft tube. This $5,000 aerodynamically vehicle insect was well ahead of its time.
The Stout Scarab was an aerodynamic masterpiece (that’s a matter of opinion) that featured a rear-engine layout, flow through ventilation, concealed running boards, and modular seating. This particular example is the second Scarab created (captured).
The Scarabs were produced in very limited numbers, (I can understand why) with only nine examples created. Part of their rarity was due to their $5,000 price tag (per bug), an incredibly steep price in the post-Great Depression era, (not to mention the production of Slug-a-Bug) However, Scarabs did find homes with (in) some of America's industrial giants. Scout Scarabs resided in the garages (and their kitchens and living rooms) of the Wrigleys (chewing gum), the Dows (chemicals), the Strahanans (Champion Spark Plugs) and the Firestones. Mr. Stout was a close friend of these pioneers as well as Henry Ford.
