2020 has been a strange and difficult year for everyone. For the whole year I have barely been more than 10 miles from my home, so it's been quite a challenge to keep my photographic enthusiasm alive.
I thought I'd post a few pictures from throughout the year that I haven't previously shared, to celebrate the new year.
The end of October brought a few storms and much rough weather. This minimal image was taken on one of the rare calm days we had that month. Porth Nanven and the Brisons, St Just, Cornwall.
The difficult part of taking pictures of some insects is that they scurry so quickly, making it difficult to get a clear image. This little critter was zipping up the tall stalk of a flower and I followed his progress all the way to the top. Once there, he sat motionless. Only his antennae waved back and forth as he surveyed his new kingdom. I could imagine him shouting...I AM KING OF THE MOUNTAIN!

Giugno, ma faceva molto freddo quel giorno, con un vento fortissimo che buttava per terra. Si stava avvicinando una tempesta.

Down and up on difficult paths
Kongobatha diademata. This mantis species is restricted to the East Coast of Australia, Is difficult to find due to its small size (little more than 2.5cm/1 in for an adult) and pale green coloration that closely matches the leaf color of many Eucalyptus and Angophora species where it locates.
I found it last night during a big storm, clinging to the flyscreen in my kitchen. I removed it gently and brought it to the potted Chrysanthemum that I keep on a table under the veranda. This morning, I started deadheading the plant and my little rescued Mantis came out. What I like most about this species is the pattern on its wings but you must find the right orientation to light to reveal it. /
On ne trouve cette tres petite espece de Mante Religieuse que sur la Cote Est de l'Australie. Elle est generalement difficile a trouver car elle ne mesure pas plus de 2,5 cm et sa couleur vert clair se confond souvent avec celle des feuilles d'Eucalyptus et d'Angophora, arbres dans lesquels on peut en localiser.
J'ai trouve celle-ci la nuit derniere pendant un gros orage, accrochee a la moustiquaire dans ma cuisine. Je l'en ai detachee doucement et portee dans mon pot de Chrysantheme sous la veranda.
Ce matin, alors que je commencais a enlever les fleurs mortes sur ma plante, ma petite rescapee en est sortie. Ce que j'aime le plus chez cette espece, c'est le dessin des ailes mais il faut trouver la bonne orientation a la lumiere pour le faire ressortir,
Macro Mondays - Double Exposure
This was difficult, as I had not done anything like this before. But applying the same technique as textures I managed to get it done. I was in a panic all day long even looking at tutorials that were only making me more confused.
This is a soft out of focus done over the almost same frame in focus. (82% blend) Kind of cool and not bad for a panicking guy. (and still sick)
Happy Macro Monday

4 lbs 4 months old and adjusting quite nicely! But he would not pose in the right light! Miniature Schnauzer
A Rufous Motmot, often difficult to photograph in the dense jungle, comes to a feeder in Panama.
Thanks for your visit… Any comment you make on my photograph is greatly appreciated and encouraging! But please do not use this image without permission.
As usual, I was caught with the wrong lens when we came across this flittery little group of Silvereyes at the Tinchi Tamba Wetlands. So this is a bit cropped. They were buzzing in and out of the Casuarinas in the wetlands and very hard to pin down.
They are one of those birds I remember from my childhood when my wonderful Dad who left us far to young would explain and open my eyes to the world.

Has to take a number of these small fish to fill their stomach, but this is the average size of the catch they make when they are foraging on the bayou. This is from a previous outing. The water was too deep and all the birds were finding it difficult to catch anything on this past Thursday. Photo taken on Horsepen Bayou.

A difficult "get" for me. They are rare in the SF Bat area so when I get a chance to see one it excites me. This fellow was harassing some Yellow Warblers . He is in the deep shade but you have to accept what nature offers you.
Frenchman Lake area, Plumas County, CA.
A juvenile, size 02-03mm, from the same place as where I found the springtails from 21-07-2019. This one found in a handful of mud...
Another very difficult marsh bird to spot, this one was feeding along the reeds and calling fairly frequently, that haunting call that makes the hairs on the back of your head stand up if you aren't expecting it!
Difficult birds to identify unless they are heard and this one never made a sound. I was thinking Least Flycatcher but the eye ring doesn't seem bold enough.
Best viewed enlarged.
Thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images - very much appreciated.

A difficult bird to get a clean shot, was quite lucky to sight two of them - a pair - on some nice perches. It belongs to the large cuckoo family, but non-parasitic, i.e. it doesn't lay its eggs in other birds nests. The bird is easily recognizable by the bluish eye from which it derives its name. I had seen this bird dart off into trees where there were other birds nests several times, but I am not sure if it is a nest raider. Incidentally the bird is only found in South India and Sri Lanka.
Thanks in advance for your views and / or feedback. Much appreciated.
My old friends, Though I have not spent time lately due to the pressures of life but I must do so as it is so rewarding especially a bird so skittish and difficult to photograph well.
Reduced in numbers over most of their range .
It is very difficult to cope with this feeling, not knowing where you belong and not being able to internalize the place you live in is one of the heaviest burdens, it is not good for mental health, it is very difficult to struggle alone, but the nature and animals that surround me are always good companions for me.
If you want to see the statue up close, you can visit it from here. Who knows, maybe it will awaken completely different feelings in you.

⭐️Thank you in Advance for your kind ‘Faves’ Visits and Comments they are so very much appreciated. 👍
I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their Visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’. If I do not reply to your 'Comment', it is not because I am ignoring you, it's because I have not seen the 'Comment'.
Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image, and I see a notification)
Because of wild boars and mushroom hunters, it is difficult to find complete and photogenic specimens.

DIFficult conditions for DIFs yesterday, but there is something addictive about the challenge of taking these.

Always sad news to hear that one of our heritage railway's reluctantly have to cease trading. Hopefully this can get sorted and we can see scenes like GWR Collett 5643 leaving the Berwyn Station again

This was a difficult compromise :-) I think Macro Mondays has challenged all of us members throughout the year. I chose to focus on some elements I used for the "Relaxation" theme (surfboards, see here: www.flickr.com/photos/134352553@N04/35597512936/) and a new take on the "Musical instruments" theme (piano instead of guitar, see here: www.flickr.com/photos/134352553@N04/24270050178/).
To me, using creativity to figure out what to do is quite different from the "busy" daily life. It is like diving into a paradise where heavenly music plays and "forces" you to relax... agree?
Thanks a lot to the admin group for a really nice year and HMM and HNY to you all :-)

Capturing this scene was easy, just being right place right time. Then spent some time cleaning the dirt from my sensor.
The difficult job here is that hook that was probably installed more then 100 years ago, no hydraulic, pneumatic or electric to help. With the man power...that was difficult, we have it so easy now, dont event realise it !
