The difficult life when you don't have a water connection
You have to fetch water from common water points with the yellow or orange canisters.
Often on foot. With the help of donkeys. Sometimes also with collection carts pulled by donkeys.

Das harte Leben ohne Wasseranschluss
Man muss Wasser mit den gelben oder orangefarbenen Kanistern von den gemeinsamen Wasserstellen holen.
Oft zu Fuß. Mit Hilfe von Eseln. Manchmal auch mit von Eseln gezogenen Sammelwagen.
Featuring Molly Monroe
I know I didn't do a March cover but it was a difficult month for me so I couldn't get any covers done.
Where I live in the Pennines, Meadow Pipits are a very common breeding bird and often settle on walls and rocks. So I'd say more than 99.9% of wall-perching Pipits will be Meadow Pipits. But the very similar Tree Pipit can also perch on walls and rocks, and Meadow Pipits can perch in trees, so we cannot rely on that. The best plumage feature to separate Tree Pipit from Meadow Pipit is the flank streaking. In Meadow Pipit the breast streaking continues boldly down the flanks towards the tail, whereas on Tree Pipit the flanks are more finely streaked than the breast, which identifies this problematic pipit as a Tree Pipit. This one called a drawn out, buzzing "speez" to confirm its identity, quite unlike the sip-sip-sip of Meadow Pipit. Tree Pipit's bill is slightly stronger, and appears to angle upwards from the face, and if you could see the hindclaw it would look normal, whereas Meadow Pipit has an abnormally long hindclaw.
The name Pipit comes originally from the Latin verb pipio, meaning to chirp, and "Tree" because their parachuting song flight usually ends with them landing on the top of a small tree, though they are not woodland birds. The scientific name is Anthus trivialis. Anthus was a grassland bird mentioned by Pliny. Trivialis literally means where roads meet (tri via), but then came to mean ordinary or commonplace (and trivial). I photographed this migrant recently in the Peak District in South Yorkshire.

This is another, more difficult view of the previous falls, I had to wade through thigh deep, pretty fast flowing water with slimy and slippery rocks but as I had already got wet due to my poor choice of footwear, I thought I may as well go the whole hog and get in.
If I'd fallen I'd have smashed my head in but I was more concerned about my beloved 40D, I don't think it would have thanked me for a dunking!!!!

Difficult to find as you follow their call, as they fly silently off if you get too close without first spotting them and stopping your approach. A longer lens would be the answer - this is heavily cropped.
A difficult shot, into the sun and a lot to think about. Anyway, it was a lovely summer morning in the lanes of Malhamdale.
It's a wee bit difficult to find money in your pockets when you don't wear any trousers.
The sun was shining and I just had to go outdoors for a short walk of taking pictures. Walking went better than awkwardly trying to find a better perspective for the pictures :o)

Watched this cormorant catch several large fish yesterday .
Thank you for viewing and your comments .

Difficult to see, but there is a pump and pail at the base of the windmill. Lovely well-cared for property, will be beautiful once everything greens up. HWW
A difficult time of the year to be a photographer in this part of the world, but you make do with what you got. Here, I liked the light on the pole and its reflections in the water, then it was a matter of composing it with the edge of the ice.
Difficult to balance light and shadow here combined with the texture, something i have only just started to use having seen excellent examples in my contacts pics. Of course i love the old barn, the house was a bonus!
So difficult to achieve peace
Cabarita Beach, Northern NSW
Again, a shot I would never get without a big lens.
My love affair with my new (old, broken VC) Tammie continues.
I suppose with a working VC I would have shot this @ 1/320th and ISO 100 - but at full stretch without VC it's hard to get away with anything under 1/1000th. The girls in this shot were about 700 metres away.
It is difficult to catch a freight in good light in Healy Canyon. As the freights generally run at night only on the longest days of summer does one get the opportunity. And of course then you need cooperation from the weather Gods. Well it all came together on the morning of 6.22 around 545 Am the sun had cleared the mountains and brightened the canyon floor. The series of shots I am posting today where all taken from the same location. The train has just passed the Garner section house and is on the new section of railroad built to bypass the tunnel below me. Healy Canyon is an extreme maintenance issue for the railroad with the exception of this section of fairly newly rebuilt rail.
X Every road trip as its highs and lows, sadly visiting Houston was a low. Getting into the city by car was difficult working out what toll road I was or wasn’t meant to be in. Getting out the city was frankly a nightmare the I 10 closed both ways and I had to do a detour through what felt like half of Texas.
The reason I had gone to Houston was to visit the Marc Rothko Chapel that contains ten huge mostly black canvases. I am sorry to say they left me completely cold, which is a pity as I admire his work a great deal.
However the Houston museum of Fine Arts was a pleasure to visit they have a vast collection of art. I was particularly interested in the Art Deco section. These two Beau Brownie cameras were part of a group of six, they are beautiful to look at I hope they were good to use as well. They were designed by Walter Dorwin Teague in 1931 and manufactured by Eastman Kodak in 1933.
The shot was taken through glass so the quality is not perfect
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED.
Sometimes it's difficult for Purists to stick by their rules. As you can see, the original below shows harsh lights coming from the left causing some overblown clouds & sky. No matter what, you can never fight nature when comes to lighting. But nothing can stop you from getting it right with photoshop.
By just re-cropping to a square format, there is less editing to be done. Just make a little darker on the left of the sky using "Multiply" on blending mode to selective areas.
pp: A little touch of Topazlab for that lift on colors to my desired taste just to give the image a little boost.
I would normally apply 2 or 3 layers of preferred settings and blend them selectively.
Shot more than a year ago while in Hualien, Taiwan
This is Engineer Pass Road. The first 8 miles on the Ouray side is very difficult. This was not the worst area I went over.
Full disclosure, I shot this through the windshield. There are not really good places to pull over on this road and shoot photos. It looks wide in this area, but there is usually only one way you can get through these areas.
This road should not be done by inexperienced drivers. You can bypass this area by driving to Silverton, than to Animas Forks Ghost Town, than do the North cutoff road to Engineer Pass Road. A lot easier, if you can handle a ledge road.
Difficult to get a photo of this Crake, in was in and out of the reeds very quickly.

Difficult as the sun was almost in the lens, but is this a new breed of sheep I've discovered? A short walk in the warmer sunshine just past Upper Maudlin Farm in Steyning Bowl on the South Downs.
It's difficult to get a sense of scale in this picture but to give some idea of size, this dragline excavator at St. Aidens in Leeds weighs in at 1200 tons, it is one of the largest machines of it's type in Europe. Unlike similar, smaller machines which run on caterpillar type tracks, this machine "walked" at a staggering 0.2 miles an hour. St Aidens was once a huge opencast mine operated by The British Coal Board then British Coal, the mine has now closed as we British prefer to import our coal from South America and Europe. However, some good has come of the closure and the former mine is now a flourishing bird reserve.
Lots of history and background here. www.atlasobscura.com/places/st-aidans-be1150-dragline
This bear reminded me so much on Winnie the Poo.. Difficult to imagine that this is a dangerous predator! :-D
Difficult wildflower # 2 (and one more to come) - may as well post them all today and then move on to something else!
This is a more subtle paintbrush than the brilliant reds, pinks, and yellows I've photographed for years in the mountains. I hiked the prairie here in Saskatchewan for years before even noticing it. And I've only found occasional plants, never dense colonies taking over a hillside. Add to this its generally ragged appearance and the fact that it often grows amid dense clusters of prairie grasses, sage, and other flowers, and simply does not look good when the sun is blasting down and casting harsh shadows, and you see the challenge!
Fortunately, I found this sample on a rainy day, with soft light. I tried close ups, but they didn't really work. Finally I backed off, framed it as part of a plant community, and came away with a shot I feel is acceptable.

It was difficult to capture the hole in the right side of the rock since the tides were high and we couldn't get a good vantage point. A boat was not an option for us this time. I have walked out to the rock before when the tides were low.
Difficult driving conditions. The approaching van was in difficulties. We were going to a dog-friendly inn for lunch but decided to go back home.
After around 50 m the trip ended this time. The icy plateau changed into a steep ice gradient and I was on the one hand alone and on the other hand not right prepared to explore this cave further. I was afraid of getting trapped down in the cave because it was almost impossible to move up on this surface without ropes and spurs. However... I will return ;-)!

Difficult to capture in this season so beautiful scene, need a lot of luck!
I stood on the peak of a person to enjoy a wonderful night here really special!
Difficult gloomy lighting for the camera in the little Mini2, the scrap run from Crewe to Newport waits for its path at Park Lane Junction in Birmingham, 4M86 Felixstowe - East Midlands Gateway passes by on the main, a unit can be glimpsed in the distance.
This tiny bird calls boldly but we found it difficult to find and difficult to photograph. "The scientific name of the Pacific-slope Flycatcher, difficilis, is appropriate. It means "difficult," and this species is extremely difficult to distinguish from the similar Cordilleran Flycatcher." allaboutboids
Very difficult to photograph this fixture as apparently, someone decided to turn on the light switch... illuminating all of 3 bulbs in a fixture consisting of 20-30 bulbs? Why even bother? Or maybe, just maybe, someone could replace ALL of the bulbs... and dust the fixture??? What a novel concept.

Early morning stack from August 2015. The worn wings of this specimen indicates that the season is coming to an end. Hopefully the experts will help me narrow down the ID but I'd be surprised if it's possible to get closer than genus-level from this image. Most likely I'll have to settle for subfamily. **Edit: Thanks to P. Magnusson I got one step further (tribe)!
