Evie Field won the first prize in the spot the difference competition here at Pinhoe Library during the summer holidays, she won the telescope and a M@x goody bag.
Well done Evie!
Day three... and I awoke to a very different world outside my window. This shot is slightly further away because for some reason I thought twice about wading out over a stream when it was covered in snow and ice.

This photo was taken on 9 July 2016, a few minutes after 9:00 pm, and the sun created a band of sunlight on the distant mountain slope. What a difference it makes when the sun is shining on the mountains in this whole area, bringing out the strong red and green colours. This was the second and last evening of our two and a half day trip from Calgary, visiting Waterton Lakes National Park.
On this evening, after supper, Andrew, organizer of the trip, took a few of us to the Maskinonge Lake area near the park entrance, where he spotted three (?) Sandhill Cranes for us. We also stood and watched a pair of Northern Harriers in flight, searching for food, with frequent vocalizing. Looked rather like a Muskrat that was caught for supper. Such beautiful views from this lake, including of the impressive Chief Mountain! From the second lookout at Maskinonge Lake, I went with Andrew to the nearby Waterton Springs Campground from where we climbed a short, rough path to the top of the hill, where Andrew managed to spot either two Nighthawks or the same Nighthawk twice (can't remember if we saw two in flight together), flying very high overhead. This was a great sighting, as I had only ever seen Nighthawks once before, in Dinosaur Provincial Park, east of Calgary. Still want to find one perched on a fence post, though : ) The photo above was taken from this spot. So, not a bad evening, seeing Sandhill Cranes, Nighthawks and a pair of Northern Harriers - thanks, Andrew!
Six days ago, late afternoon, (I think around 5:15 pm), on 10 July 2015, I arrived back home from my holiday of the year - this two and a half day trip to Waterton National Park. It was wonderful to again be surrounded by such magnificent scenery, go on a few pleasantly slow walks/hikes with plenty of time to look for, and photograph, wildflowers, insects, and a few birds and animals. Lots of great company with (22) people I already knew and lots of new faces, too. The trip was organized by Nature Calgary. Everyone was free to go wherever they wanted each day, but for the two nights, we stayed at the very basic Canyon Church Camp, off the Red Rock Parkway. Dorm-style cabins (about which I will say nothing, lol!), but they do have showers and even flush toilets at the camp. We were fed so well - lots of variety and good food. We were given two breakfasts and two suppers, plus a packed lunch for the two days. Our thanks go out to the lady (can't remember her name, sorry, but she was also there for us in July 2015) who cooked and prepared these meals for us! They were so much enjoyed and greatly appreciated!
Thank you SO much, Janet, for driving your friend and me to and from Calgary and around the park some of the time, too. To say that I appreciated it is a huge understatement!! Our thanks, too, to Andrew for organizing this trip so brilliantly, as usual! A great time was had by all. And I am SO happy and relieved that you were finally able to find a bear (and her cub) - yes, we came across the same ones shortly after you saw them. Not sure if they were two of the three I had seen at more or less the same location the previous morning, 9 July 2016. If it was the same female, then her second cub must have been really well hidden in the tangle of bushes and trees yesterday. We didn't get a good view, though I did take a handful of photos, including when the cub looked towards us for a split second. I had never seen such a young cub before, so I was thrilled to bits. Can't forget to add my huge thanks for finding me a Lazuli Bunting yesterday, too, at some unearthly hour (well, 7:30 am). No idea how on earth you managed to spot such a small bird from so far away - just a tiny speck in the far, far distance. Also was delighted that you found two Nighthawks flying high overhead at the Nature Conservancy area. So, I guess you and I both returned to Calgary feeling really happy : )
"Waterton Lakes National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is also an International Peace Park, and a Biosphere Reserve. No other park in the world has these three designations. Waterton Biosphere Reserve as it is officially called, was designated in 1979 under what is called the internationally recognized "Man and the Biosphere program" of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), that sure is a mouthful. Biosphere Reserves are designed to promote and demonstrate a balanced relationship between people and nature."

I am not generally a fan of birdfeeder photos but I found this one rather striking. Taken from one of the many blinds at Slimbridge Wetlands, these Eurasian Blue Tits were about as abundant there as their cousins, the chickadee and tufted titmouse, are here in the northeastern US. As woodland birds, they nest in tree holes and generally eat insects, but at certain times of the year they will also eat seeds and nuts. Studies, which I have not reviewed, suggest that they are not as sexually monomorphic as they might seem. Apparently, observed under the UV spectrum, males and females demonstrate differences in the colors of their tufts. This difference allows them to easily distinguish sexes. There's a world of difference out there that we don't even see, hear, taste, or smell, due to the limitations of our senses. Imagine the possibilities! #EurasianBlueTit
The coat's off and here's the full dress in all its spotty glory. A slip on so no ties, zips of fastenings. As easy as they come, not that I'm an easy girl!

Dave and I traversed all this country a number of times in '65, and I have some fond memories of all of the Nullarbor, just search my stream for Nullarbor...
noted 34 months after the comment below! 29/5/09
See also wasg.iinet.net.au/nulla.html for a bit about the Nullarbor limestone.
"In 2005, The Wilderness Society nominated the Nullarbor Plain for protection under South Australia’s Wilderness Protection Act. The nomination recognised the cultural significance of the region to its traditional owners.
Widely acclaimed for outstanding natural and cultural heritage values, the Nullarbor is the largest semi-arid karst cave system in the world."

Nullabor plain
janhawkinsau.wordpress.com/2015/03/02/the-oondiri-travell...
The Nullabor, the name has always irritated me because it is such an enigma to what you actually find. The vast ancient region was named in August 1865, while an explorer was travelling from the east across the Hampton Tablelands, along the most arid of sections. E. A. Delisser in his journal named both the Nullabor and Eucla. This was how the largest limestone karst in the world received its European name. Its meaning is found in the Latin Nullus Arbor (It seems Delisser spelt it Aus’ style) the meaning is however ‘No trees/plants’. This is a simple misconception as the vast region is not treeless.
To the tribal aboriginal people, the vast plain was known as the Oondiri, meaning a waterless plain, as surface water is not easily found across the ancient karst of limestone. This limestone karst is the largest in the world. It was formed 40 million years ago when the Australian continent broke away from Antarctica and it is also very unstable.

- Different sound ..., ancient bells ...
Sounds like past emergencies ..., sounding distant illusions in time ....
Sound errors forgotten ....
They sound different .......
- Diferentes suenan..., los timbres antiguos...
Suenan a urgencias pasadas..., suenan a ilusiones lejanas en el tiempo....
Suenan a errores olvidados....
Suenan diferentes.....

Conrail coal empty UFY-694 was rolling west on the Middle Division at Cove behind fresh C40-8Ws 6169/6192 and B23-7 1915 on a cold and clear afternoon in 1994. Check out that height difference between the big boys and that Dash Seven.
Conrail didn't get much better than this!
Standard stirfry, in order and in peanut oil: broccoli stems, celery, diced garlic & ginger, green pepper, tomato, broccoli flowerets, sliced mushrooms, Chinese cabbage, and fried and sliced veggie 'bacon'.
EXCEPT: after adding the diced tomato, I splashed in 1/3 cup of vodka!
Ever since I had 'Penne ala Vodka' at a great little Italian restaurant a while ago, I've been trying to find ways to add vodka to other foods, and I was curious to see what it would do in Aisan cuisine. I think it made a perceptible difference in the richness of the taste! In any event, my wife thought it was delicious! :-)
Finished off with a sauce made of the juice of a lemon, a glug of Maggi, Chinese Premium Soy Sauce, Chinese cooking wine, a little splash of fish sauce, and a little teaspoon of (aargh!) MSG, with a forkfull of cornstarch stired in at the end.
Served over a bed of Basmati rice and topped with sliced green onion.

Ever wonder what are the core differences and advantage when ur camera can substantially progress to higher iso n withhold much finer yet deliver noiseless end result ? Sound awesome but how to extend it beneficial beside what been stated earlier ?
Generally photgraphers, our common desirabe thought was, expecting such respectful camera to out-perform noise problem, zeroing down cleaner noise or NO noise as priority in landscape arena. But , frankly speaking, even any current entry level DSLR likely able to accomplish such elementary requisite which shot are produce low at ISO100-200 or some even 400, absolutely no issue for today's technology camera.
However, that's not practically any delight reason acquiring a heavenly engineered camera beside u can simply shot with a steady tripod at low light to minimize noise at static landscape. Technically more benifit behold for such ingenious camera, it also greatly assist photographer bring down or reduce different artificial ambient light source for not over exposing or subtly balance real life image from just single exposure, it also further benefit ones to reasonably increase adequate stop of faster shutter speeds to prevent shake from those unstoppable passes by crumpsy vibration picking up from camera hyper sensor at wooden boardwalk or suspension bridge that accidentally cause ill-effect of unnotice blur . such phenomenon was a irritation in the past that i now lean to appreciate with joy. Hand hold shot is more manageable compare in the past. Limitation of photography can be reinvented n exploits......now!
Just to share a few here......I reckon there's more advantage to open up wider range of jaw opening photography experience with iso play. Will update in future post if time permit!
The difference between staring at the ocean from behind a window frame
and looking into his eyes of deep from the foamy shoreline, feet naked;
the difference between the sky seen in an astronomy software display
and the summer dome where thousands of millions of glimmering stars shine;
the difference between the glimpse of an image of a mountain snowy trail
and the whiplashing wind when it pairs like a bourdon the shoes rhythm
while you get step after step closer to the crown of fiery rocky peaks.
The difference between a cd and a concert,
between drop and hammering rain,
between a fob and a chain.
The difference between the memory of a voice
and that voice itself,
between a verse found once on a screen
and an old dusty book on an old dusty shelf.
The difference between morning and night,
wheel and plough,
aliveness and life,
simple air and heady oxygen,
a thunderclap and the Jupiter's big red storm.
Or a love and our Love.

The difference between computers and us is we are alive and have emotions and feelings. Computers can have senses and collect information, but they are not alive and have no emotions and feelings. It looks like being alive and emotions -feelings are going together. Being alive, emotions and feelings, senses and the information collected from our brain make us human beings. We function as human beings in our society because of the pressures which affect our feelings and emotions. Fear is the leading one. The additional feelings and emotions which we like to have are love, heroism, helping, enjoying, etc. bond us together to live in a society. We have to be the one which our society wants.
Aliens have to function like us if they exist. They have to be alive and have to have feelings and emotions, but the dominating feelings - emotions and the number of feelings - emotions can be very different. They might have a strong mechanism to control their feelings and emotions.
As human beings, we have to learn to control our feelings and emotions. We can't wait that the biological development created by nature to do the job for us. There is a conflict between what society desires and how we actually function. We are not perfect. The conflict creates for us troubles.
In space, an explosion would not affect technologically advanced aliens. They would be aware of when stars are likely to explode, when comets or asteroids may collide with them, etc.
What a difference an hour makes! Low cloud and fog shrouded Burrator Reservoir on arrival
The glorious vista that would have greeted rail passengers to Burrator Halt. Built in 1924, as the area around Burrator Reservoir had become an attraction to ramblers after the completion of the reservoir in 1898.
Burrator Halt was on the Princetown Railway which opened with trains operating from Horrabridge until the opening of Yelverton station in 1885.
The area is still a magnet for ramblers and tourists but sadly the railway closed in 1956, much of the trackbed is now a footpath/cycle track.

This shot was taken last Sunday. I just started to shot RAW, then finally realized the vast difference between the JPEG and the RAW in quality. Its true that things comes by the time, by trying every single feature on the camera, thus, getting the ideal photograph.
One very important difference between color and monochromatic photography is this: in black and white you suggest; in color you state. Much can be implied by suggestion, but statement demands certainty… absolute certainty.
