It's really an unseasonably warm late Winter with temperatures up to 18 C. Quite amazing. And that weather brought out lots of insects.
Here's a Marmalade Hoverfly; if you look at its wings, for example, you will see they are entirely in mint condition. Nu sight of wear yet. Amazingly beautiful; and she's happily collecting pollen on Crocus.
Due to my health condition, I am unable to hold or stabilize a camera for extended periods of time. Additionally, using a tripod has never been enjoyable for me, as it would cause pain when trying to position it correctly and constantly bending over to check the viewfinder. Consequently, I have chosen to explore digital AI artwork as an alternative. I understand that this may not be everyone's cup of tea, as it diverges from traditional photography. However, I have always granted myself the freedom to exercise artistic license and pursue whatever brings me joy. Currently, digital AI artwork fulfills that purpose, at least for the time being.

I’d like to dedicate this shot to a good friend of mine William McIntosh. I have spent the last 4 months shooting as much as I can with Bill and trying to gleen info from him about his weather prediction skills and gain some insight about his frame of mind about photography. He is a master of weather prediction IMHO and I have always admired his tenacity which has netted him some absolutely fantastic captures from Yosemite National Park and the Pacific Northwest. Bill contacted me during the week to see if I was up for a Banzai run to Yosemite Valley as he was predicting a passage in the storm which would provide a high probability of misty/snowy conditions like seen in many of his postings from there. Of course Bill was right on the money as was shown from some of the webcams provided there. But unfortunately I had to decline as I was starting to get sick with the Flu and didn’t want to drag him down with me. Today he contacted me again to see if I was up for some shooting at Corona Del Mar but I was still trying to fight off the Flu and as painful as it was had to opt out again. Later, today, as I was digging through my folder of processed photos I found this shot and the pain of declination returned. Sorry Bill, I was more worried about getting you sick then worsening my own condition. LOL. Thanks for the invite my friend and hope you had a great day at CDM. If you would like to see William’s amazing photography, you can visit his stream here.

Tale of the Take…
This is a side view of the arch found at Corona Del Mar, If you wanted to get a full view through the arch you would need to scramble along the cliffsides base there at a specific tide level, I say specific because if you time it incorrectly you wouldn’t drown but you would have to spend a long, cold night on the rocks or call the Coast Guard to come “fish” you out which carries along an $800 dollar or better rescue charge. I’m still hoping that Bill will show me the specifics of entering here at a time that would be safe to enter and exit during the sunset. See what I mean about his tenacity. :)

☛ An Oldsmobile 1958 and a Chevrolet 1948 facing Parque John Lennon in the Vedado neighborhood. Vedado is bordered to the east by Central Havana district and west by the Miramar district, just north of Plaza de la Revolución, the central administrative division of the Cuban government. In early colonial times, it was forbidden to build on these lands to be able to see at far the enemy fleets coming. Hence the name of Vedado, which means forbidden in Spanish.

Vedado est bordé à l'est par le celui de La Havane Centrale et à l'ouest par le Miramar, juste au nord de la Plaza de la Revolución, chef-lieu du gouvernement cubain. Au début de la période coloniale, il était interdit de construire sur ces terrains afin de voir venir de loin toute flotte ennemie. D’où le nom de Vedado, qui signifie interdit en espagnol.

In its splendid workaday condition harking back to a non-heritage era, Prussian 'G12' Class 2-10-0 No.58 1111-2 makes a sure-footed text book departure from Straußfurt, working diagram DGN88721 08.10 Sondershausen to Ringleben-Gebesse demonstration freight, creating an almost timeless GDR-era scene on Friday 6th March 2026. This is the only locomotive of its class that has been preserved in operational condition and is still largely in its original Reichsbahn condition as when first built in 1921 by the Maschinenbaugesellschaft Karlsruhe.

Another impression from Carrbridge, the oldest bridge in the Scottish Highlands, showing more of the surrounding landscape. (From Wikipedia) "Carrbridge's most famous landmark is the old packhorse bridge, from which the village is named. The bridge, built in 1717, is the oldest stone bridge in the Highlands. It was severely damaged in the "muckle spate" of 1829 which left it in the condition seen today. It is now unstable and is recommended only to be viewed from afar. Jumping off the bridge into the River Dulnain below had long been a popular pastime for younger locals and the more adventurous tourists.
Full Moon
What a clear and calm evening to watch the full moonrise over Coit tower tonight. Totally lucky snapshot in such condition, no wind, no clouds about in perfect night :). There were many photogs at this pier tonight that may have the similar shot as this one.

DB Cargo 66190 'Martin House' passes Freemans L.C. in immaculate condition whilst working Day 1 of Branch Line Society's 'The Tyne Tees Maid' railtour - 1Z28, the 12:15 Tyne Dock P T A to Newcastle (via the Blyth & Tyne). 03/06/2023.
Canadian National train 419 was rolling along at Ingersoll, Ontario with SD40-2Ws 5347 and 5309 on a hot August afternoon in 1994.
While I was quite pissed to have traveled close to 500 miles from home to have this shot "ruined" by the nose door wide open, I understand that the crew's comfort is much more important than my mediocre choo-choo picture.
A wide-open nose door on a CN SD40-2W in 1994 is a thousand times better than a CN GEVO anytime with the door closed.
Sheer steps- my cruel, eternal enemy. Wandering around a fairly standard residential part of the city, we came across a man-made hill with a staircase on it that just seemed to 'be'. I haven't the foggiest idea where It would have lead- I definitely didn't have the stamina for it.
You can just barely see it, but there is a van at the bottom of the stairs with the brand name, "Mr. Juicy". I'm infantile enough to have chuckled.
This kind of scene is what gets my heart pumping. It's probably not very exciting to most, but the towers, the lights, the 'atmosphere' of the place was pretty magical to me.

Hong Kong! Again! After the first time not working out so well (mostly due to my condition) me and my best friend Michael returned to do the bits we missed out on and generally have a few different experiences than before.

Marbled White / melanargia galathea. Lindrick Common, South Yorkshire. 02/07/14.
'PRISTINE VULNERABILITY.'
I remember finding this pristine Marble White clinging to a grass stem, shortly after she had emerged. Her wings had not fully hardened so whenever she moved up the stem, they were still a little floppy. At such an early stage of adulthood, she would have been extremely vulnerable if spotted by a predatory bird.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
A very fresh female White Admiral that I was fortunate to come across in a private woodland whilst I was doing a butterfly survey.
This species is rarely found as fresh as this as they soon damage their wings as they fly in and around the Bramble bushes.
I expect I had found her not long after emergence and when I first spotted her she was feeding on Bramble flowers, here she is resting between feeds, although she was soon back to the flowers.
In all the years I have spent studying butterflies this is probably the freshest White Admiral I have come across, and amazingly only a week later I found another one in similar condition!!
This church is well up a single track road just off the Struie Road. The church is in good condition and is in use on a regular basis.
Judging by the worn condition of this monarch, I'm guessing it was a returnee from spending the winter in Mexico. Not far away from this guy there was what looked like a new generation monarch feeding at the same time.
From the monarch migration tracking web site, it looks like we do have overlapping generations in this area during the spring migration: journeynorth.org/monarchs/news/spring-2020/04302020-eggs-...
