Double-barred Finch
Scientific Name: Taeniopygia bichenovii
Description: The Double-barred Finch is one of the long-tailed grass-finches and is notable for its 'owl-faced' features, having a white face bordered black. It is grey-brown, with white underparts banded black above and below the chest, giving the species its name. The wings are black, spotted white, the tail is black and the bill and legs are blueish-grey. Juveniles are dulller, with indistinct chest bars. These grass-finches usually feed in flocks and have a bouncing, undulating flight pattern.
Similar species: There are two subspecies of Double-barred Finch: the eastern race has a white rump and the western race has a black rump. Otherwise, distinguished form other finches by its 'owl-face'.
Distribution: The Double-barred Finch is found in the Kimberley region through to west of the Gulf of Carpentaria (the western race annulosa), and then from Cape York down the east coast to south-eastern Victoria (the eastern race, bichenovii).
Habitat: The Double-barred Finch prefers dry grassy woodlands and scrublands, open forests and farmlands. It is never far from water.
Seasonal movements: Nomadic; only an occasional visitor to extreme south-eastern part of range.
Feeding: The Double-barred Finch feeds on the ground on seeds. It will also take insects, especially when breeding. It usually feeds in groups or flocks of up to 40 birds.
Breeding: The Double-barred Finch builds a rounded nest, with a side entrance and short tunnel into a inner chamber lined with fine grass, feathers and plant down. The nest is placed between 1 m to 5 m from the ground in pandanus or thick shrubs, or even in the eaves of a building, often close to an active wasps' nest. Both parents incubate and feed the young.
The nestlings of Double-barred Finches beg with their heads down to one side. This is unique to the grass-finch and waxbill family.
Calls: A brassy, drawn-out 'tzeeaat, tzeeaat'; also a low 'tat tat'
Minimum Size: 10cm
Maximum Size: 12cm
Average size: 11cm
Average weight: 10g

Seen at Arches National Park, Utah
Double Arch takes its name because of it consists of two arches that share the same stone as a foundation for both of their outer legs. Double Arch was formed by downward water erosion from atop the sandstone, rather than from side-to-side water erosion.
I know many photographers shun midday lighting as being bleak and boring, I often challenge myself to create interesting images when I travel daytime and it is impractical to wait for better conditions. It was my first time exploring desert photography while visiting Utah’s National Parks. I started my trip at the breathtaking Arches National Park. But unfortunately, I left it with some disappointing pictures and a heavy heart. I afterward had been observing and experimenting till I figured out some ways to avoid the pitfalls of monotony and work with whatever light I encountered, whether it be midday sun or a deep canyon. I was lucky that the road trip allowed me to loop back at the end of the trip to where I started and offered me a second learning opportunity to capture the incredible beauty of Arches National Park.

THEY ARE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!
Crossing double yellow lines (or a double white line) could get you a traffic ticket. Trying to photograph most of the wild mustard fields along the Pacific Coast Hightway can also land you in some trouble.
I drive by these fields on a regular basis. And thanks to social media (read Facebook & Instagram), people flock, and I mean flock to see and photograph these yellow flowers. The past couple of years have gotten out of hand. It's reached the point where the property owners now "post guards" and CalTrans stations big signs lit up with "No Parking" along the edge of these fields.
So, just for the record... (1) I didn't trespass (2) I didn't park illegally (3) I didn't cross the double yellow lines to get this image.
Denali has two significant summits: the South Summit is the higher one at 20,310 feet (6,190 m), while the North Summit has an elevation of 19,470 ft (5,934 m). They are both in view here.
The South Summit is the climbing target. The North Summit doesn't draw as many climbers.
A shot or two more of Denali then moving on.
Thanks for taking a look!

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

This is my first try at double exposure. I recently purchased a polaroid camera that does double exposure so I'll be experimenting a lot more!

Spontaneous street portrait from Glasgow, Scotland.
Black and white re-edit of a previously published colour image from October 2015. These Glaswegian friends were quite the comic double-act and it was one of my most memorable random street encounters. Enjoy!
The annual Liverpool Santa Dash event marked its 20th festive race in the city, with thousands of people donning their beards, hats and red (and blue) suits to race along the 5k route around the city centre in support of Claire House Children's Hospice. It is predicted that around 8,000 people took part in the charity event.
the course took runners through the Royal Albert Dock and onwards into the heart of the city and then on to the finish line outside Liverpool Town Hall.
After a rainy start to the day, the sun eventually came out for the runners, who made their way around the course dressed in a range of outfits. While most opted for the Santa outfit, others came as elves and there was even a grumpy Grinch in the mix.
The BTR Liverpool Santa Dash welcomes everyone—whether walking, jogging, or running. Wheelchair users and even tiny Santas in prams or pets are encouraged to join.

"Macro Mondays"
“perfect together”
Macro Mondays theme this week was double exposure. Luckily the previous week I learnt how to merge two photos in Photoshop for another project, so I thought it would be easy!! How wrong I was, it was so hard to take two photos that merged together as I wanted.
This is the back and front of a small urchin shell.
