I went to the lake last Wednesday, the day the snow came in - we had 7 inches of snow overnight that night, which is highly unusual for us. Several ducks were enjoying the lake, when they took off en masse. Soon I saw the reason: this bald eagle had flown in to check on the dining options.
Another shot from yesterday morning after I'd been rudely awoken by mother nature. I'm glad I made the effort to get out of bed! Taken at Ocean Reef, Western Australia. For those who are interested, this is a single shot of 30 seconds at f/8, ISO100

A visit to the forest was very much needed to stretch my legs for an hour. I walked around just as the mist was lifting! But! Just Imagine how it could have looked if I had got there earlier ...And it was really misty!

You can't change anything without causing some degree of disruption. It's impossible, that is exactly what change is. Some people are uncomfortable with the disruption that change causes, but the disruption is necessary if anything is going to change.`(Afeni Shakur)

Thinking especially of all of those who have lost homes and belongings and those without electricity and especially thinking of my very good friend, Fiona Larkins who I hope is safe and sound with her family. Storm Desmond has disrupted schools, hospitals and transport and has caused wide destruction and havoc.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
The local council is engaged in roadworks at the end of our road, resulting in diversions each time we venture out in the car - for 6 months!
At least it gave me an opportunity for Saturday Self-Challenge: triangular ...
I took my Sony RX100M6 out with the picture effect set and, provided I stood exactly where it wanted me to, it made a great job of the in-camera red s/c.
thank you for all visits
A new fighter design - perhaps influenced slightly by the the style of craft in the video game "Destiny".
Finally got some parts in to finish my large mecha but I'm deep into a home renovation/rewiring project at the moment, so here is a fighter I managed to get together over the course of the last couple weeks. When I get a break I will resume "mech"ing it up.

Tengu (Japanese: 天狗, lit. "Heavenly Dog" or "Heavenly Sentinel") are a type of legendary creature found in Japanese folk religion. They are considered a type of yōkai (supernatural beings) or Shinto kami (gods). The tengu were originally thought to take the forms of birds of prey and monkey deity, they are traditionally depicted with human, monkey and avian characteristics. Sarutahiko Ōkami is considered to be the original model of Konoha-Tengu (a long-nosed supernatural creature with red face), which today is widely considered the tengu's defining characteristic in the popular imagination. He is the Shinto monkey deity who sheds light on heaven and earth, some experts theorize that Sarutahiko was a sun god worshiped in Ise region prior to the popularization of Amaterasu.
Buddhism long held that the tengu were disruptive demons and harbingers of war. Their image gradually softened, however, into one of protective and even manifestations of buddhist deities, if still dangerous, spirits of the mountains and forests. Tengu are associated with the ascetic practice of Shugendō, and they are usually depicted in the garb of its followers, the yamabushi.

When I gave a Composition in the Field Class in San Francisco we passed along a bar on the street side of the Ferry Building. It has a nice wall of beer cans. We learned about patterns. Also, a photo with a pattern gets more interesting if there is something that disrupts the pattern, here the water container.
I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from a JPG exposure, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

The technology that powers landline telephones in the UK will be switched off in 2025. Landline operators in the UK will switch every home phone in the UK to an internet-based connection instead of a traditional copper-wire landline.
The main road through the village - closed on and off for over a month! If it hasn't started in your area it will.
I bet this leads to no end of complications (and probably expense).
I wonder if they will take down all the old overhead copper lines? the copper must be worth a fortune, (the telephone network in the UK has been in use since 1876).
What happens in 2023?
September 2023 will see Openreach issue a full ‘Stop Sell’ of new supply and there will be no new lone installation for ISDN.
What happens in 2025?
It will be imperative that you switch to alternative solutions by this date, in order to avoid ultimately being left without a service. Your provider should be aiming to migrate all services and offer alternative solutions.
