Fairbanks Ranch Country Club golf course. Rancho Santa Fe / San Diego, CA. Taken during balloon Flight 7/8/06
This photo is now showing at the top of the Flickr Blog as the top photo! It has been on there for about 24 hours which has greatly increased, (ok, well maybe not GREATLY) traffic to my photostream. Thanks for the phone call yesterday from Boiani to alert me right away.
(Originally uploaded 3 years ago but moved to the top of my photostream to celebrate it being highlighted in the flickr blog)

If there's one place that consistently takes my breath away, it'd be Cley, of course. This was a difficult shot because I was shooting into the sun. The bench looks very grand. It has a fabulous view over the marshes.
Ezekiel 35:8-9 “And I will fill his mountains with his slain. In thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy water-courses shall they fall that are slain with the sword. I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not be inhabited: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.”
There are so many things that are downright wrong. Surely, we can do better next year...Can't we? OF COURSE we can!
More often than not, it is a juvenile bird that flies headlong in my direction. I'm not sure if they are naive and trusting or just young and foolish. Tricolored Heron on Horsepen Bayou.
I don't know the name. Just out for a walk, and i thought it was pretty. Taken at Little Traverse Bay Conservancy, at the old golf course , Harbor Springs , Michigan
..."The time is with the month of winter solstice
when the change is due to come
thunder in the other course of heaven
things cannot be destroyed once and for all
change returns success
going and coming without error
action brings good fortune
sunset, sunrise"...

Willowbrook Golf Course located in the City of Winter Haven in Polk County Florida U.S.A.
Located in Central Florida's Polk County, Willowbrook's well-manicured layout in a natural setting combines mature trees, water hazards, bunkers and doglegs to challenge the experts, yet provides plenty of opportunities for pars and birdies. Willowbrook's natural setting affords players the opportunity to see a variety of wildlife, including alligators, herons, cranes, foxes, ibises and many more of Florida's natural inhabitants.

“I'd far rather be happy than right any day."
"And are you?"
"No. That's where it all falls down, of course."
"Pity", said Arthur. "It sounded like rather a good lifestyle otherwise.” (Douglas Adams)
Foinaven in the distance on the left and Arkle looming larger towards the centre.
I am not sure about this image, the surface of Loch Stack was heavily rippled by the wind and uninviting but I persevered with a 10 stop ND filter resulting in a 30 second exposure. What do you think?
Amazing clouds spiralling out from a slowly approaching stormy front dominated the blue sky that morning. Cotswold Way. Lansdown, near Bath. Banes, England, U.K.
Thank you for your visits, favours and comments.
Leafhopper (family Cicadellidae)
The first of this species I have seen this year. About 3 mm in length.
... the Fourth of July just wouldn't be complete without a couple of fireworks pictures... this small display is courtesy the Cottage Grove Speedway ...

On the south side of the MacRitchie Reservoir is a rather plush looking golf course. We saw some very pretty looking birds here but they were far too shy to have their picture taken sadly
Red-tailed Hawk
Deer's Leap, Lake George
This is "Fancy Pants" from last weekend. After takeoff it put on an aerobatic show for me, weaving around trees and dodging cliff outcrops. Looked like a joyride, but was probably looking for rodents.
My new online course, Introduction to Street Photography, is now available at @Domestika.

If you look closely you can see some fine wires running from the tips of the tail planes to the mid-rear fuselage on each side. These were an early form of 'friend or foe' detection; a radio signal from them helped differentiate defending RAF aircraft from others on the crude radar screens of the time.
This aircraft has a 'c' type wing, sometimes called the 'universal' wing which had provision for up to four 20mm cannon and four 0.303 Browning machine guns, although because of weight restrictions, not all could be carried at the same time without seriously degrading the aircraft performance. It is not uncommon to see two of the cannons capped off, as here. The red tape over the machine gun ports was to prevent debris from muddy airfields being blown back into the guns from the propeller while the engine was running on the ground. Wet mud could jam the guns. Of course, the first shots would go straight through the tape.
The outer machine guns were often considered to be not all that effective - the wings would vibrate when they were firing, so an ever widening cone of bullets would issue forth reducing the effectiveness on the target. The 'e' wing, which many later Spitfires sported, was a simplified 'c' wing, had the outer four machine guns bays deleted and could carry heavier machine guns and/or cannon in the four inner bays.
