I am a bit short of current fly pictures these days ...must try to correct that this weekend.
Happy FlyDay Friday!
Horses at the top of the hill.

Not original. This is a extreme closeup of a painting in the lobby of a building somewhere in the Chicago loop.
This is the vibrant liquid light from the stained glass windows of the Sagrada Familia. The color comes from 100% filtered sunlight. Astonishing genius from Gaudi, the light changed continuously while I was there.
3 or 4 of my pictures disappeared on Flickr, this was one of them. I just wanted to repost them, no need to comment again :-)

A big harvest this year, this group of woodpeckers have been harvesting for over 6 weeks, and have created two new granaries to store their acorns, this one on the roofs of several houses, and another on a palm tree. Normally they just use an old oak tree. It's so crazy now that they have to hop from tile to tile trying to find room for just one more acorn.
Loved this redhead's shadow too, with its big acorn revealed, and how clearly you can see how they use their tails to steady themselves.
Fascinating, innovative, super social creatures.

It turns out that 2016 had one last treasure to offer up, my son James and I spotted a whale just off the coast yesterday. It was a little far away, but a fluke's a fluke! I think it was a humpback, but I'm no expert.
This is a closer image I got earlier in 2016 - Link.

Here my first silver photographs (scan) taken with a Canon F1, marketed in the Seventies, with an objective 50mm 1-14 SSC, and friendly lent by a friend .
cf : 35mm-compact.com/reflex/canonf1.htm
These are my first "true" photographs, and more than of the praises I need really your opinions, criticisms and councils, then thank you in advance...

Natural light, not retouched, just framed
I uploaded a vintage style version of this on my Pexels page... anyone can use this photo for websites, books, magazines, CD covers etc. www.pexels.com/photo/street-vintage-retro-leisure-5103983/
My enterprising buddies, the acorn woodpeckers are also using palm trees for their granary this year. So they've got acorns stashed deep in the trunk of this palm tree, which is easily 100 foot up off the ground.
Combining Webwednesday and Arachtober - I have been posting something separate to each WebWednesday so far in Arachtober but taking the simpler option this evening.
This is the same individual spider that i started Arachtober with this year.
Happy Webnesday everyone
Linyphiidae, probably Lyniphia triangularis
Wandering lonely 2. I remember this day. Shannon estuary. Almost totally alone on miles of sand. No footsteps.

I am definitely a sourdough bore these days!
This one today was particularly good though.
So posting one more sour dough picture ...last for a while I promise
This one was:
50% white 50 % coarse wholemeal
lots of nuts: pecan and walnut - pulverised
and sunflower hearts and black sesame seeds
...& a good glug of olive oil too
The Clash - One More Time
We don't get cardinals like these in California. This shot is from Louisiana. It's a female. Sadly, I didn't catch one of the colorful males.
The light that the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope collected to create this Picture of the Week reached the telescope after a journey of 250 million years. Its source was the spiral galaxy UGC 11397, which resides in the constellation Lyra (The Lyre). At first glance, UGC 11397 appears to be an average spiral galaxy: it sports two graceful spiral arms that are illuminated by stars and defined by dark, clumpy clouds of dust.
What sets UGC 11397 apart from a typical spiral lies at its centre, where a supermassive black hole containing 174 million times the mass of the Sun is growing. As a black hole ensnares gas, dust, and even entire stars from its vicinity, this doomed matter heats up and puts on a fantastic cosmic light show. Material trapped by the black hole emits light from gamma rays to radio waves and can brighten and fade without warning. But in some galaxies, including UGC 11397, thick clouds of dust hide much of this energetic activity from view in optical light. Despite this, UGC 11397's actively growing black hole was revealed through its bright X-ray emission — high-energy light that can pierce the surrounding dust. This led astronomers to classify it as a Type 2 Seyfert galaxy, a category used for active galaxies whose central regions are hidden from view in visible light by a doughnut-shaped cloud of dust and gas.
Using Hubble, researchers will study hundreds of galaxies that, like UGC 11397, harbour a supermassive black hole that is gaining mass. The Hubble observations will help researchers weigh nearby supermassive black holes, understand how black holes grew early in the Universe’s history, and even study how stars form in the extreme environment found at the very centre of a galaxy.
[Image Description: A spiral galaxy, seen at an angle that gives it an oval shape. It has two spiral arms that curl out from the centre. They start narrow but broaden out as they wrap around the galaxy before merging into a faint halo. The galaxy’s disc is golden in the centre with a bright core, and pale blue outside that. A swirl of dark dust strands and speckled blue star-forming regions follow the arms through the disc.]
