Ooooo, bonus: a special additional pair of morning freights today, just like the good old days.
And a decent size (particularly the northbound up to Timaru). And good weather. And I happened to wake at 6am, so figured I might as well go for a drive. And for bonus-bonus points, a near-spotless pair of DXBs on the front.

Taken near Capel Curig, North Wales. I had to wait for the mist to clear a bit and the water to calm to a mirror, but when you are sat amongst a beautiful setting like this, the wait is always more of a pleasure than a chore.
There is a small colony on one of the islands. They have pretty much killed all the island trees with their white wash.😀 Two picture pano. Isle Lake

Zion National Park is an American national park located in southwestern Utah near the town of Springdale. Located at the junction of the Colorado Plateau, Great Basin, and Mojave Desert regions, the park has a unique geography and a variety of life zones that allow for unusual plant and animal diversity. Zion National Park includes mountains, canyons, buttes, mesas, monoliths, rivers, slot canyons, and natural arches.
Located just off Interstate 15, The Kolob Canyon section of Zion National Park is home to spectacular finger canyons with soaring cliffs of red Navajo sandstone and deep pocket canyons. Kolob may be the little known portion of Zion National Park but it is as spectacular as the main canyons of Zion proper. Kolob is home to a unique geological history and diverse animal and plant life.
The Taylor Creek Trail is a hiking highlight in the Kolob Canyons section of Zion and leads to the famous Double Arch Alcove. 8.0-km out-and-back trail is generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 2-3 hours complete.

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
Breeding season: After rain in north and inland.
Clutch Size: 4 to 7 eggs
Incubation: 14 days
Nestling Period: 21 days

Simply stunning! Spectacular flowers are more consistently double than Razzmatazz and are held on shorter, stronger stems that are better able to support the heavy flower heads,
Still is not full but its getting there, Red tomato soup is in bloom as well my new yellow Cheyenne Spirit, also my older Whites and pinks all over the garden.

Shot the Dahlia first. Then added the white wash cloth out of focus. The double exposure dark setting was used for the exposures, so the wash cloth didn't totally burn out the Dahlia image.
Macro Mondays
Theme: Celebration
Size: Less than 3x3 inches
The subject is the Chinese character meaning double happiness and the head of an imperial dragon on the side of a small porcelain tea cup. The other side of the tea cup has the same character and a phoenix.
The dragon symbolises the groom/ male and the phoenix the bridegroom/ female.
This small tea cup belong to a set used for the ' traditional tea ceremony' during our wedding celebration. The same set was also called to service during our childrens' wedding.
There are 2 light sources. An overhead incandescent table lamp at 12 o'clock and a LED torchlight at 5 o'clock trained on the eyes of the dragon.
Best viewed on full screen.
Many thanks for your visit, comments and faves...it is always appreciated...

……A turn to ’Tabletop photography’ today for my iPhoneaday 365 shot #036. Shot on my phone in Apple RAW & edited in Lightroom. Press Z or 'Pinch Out' to pixel peep. This still life is ‘flat lay’ in natural light (plus a white card on the right) on a black backdrop with Blutac to hold the 1½” cream pots in place - and all for Smile on Saturday which this week has for its theme ‘two same’. No cream (or Milk) was spilt in the taking of this shot. HS😊S, Alan:-)

I'm afraid I went for the lazy PP approach to this rather than attempt a true double exposure in camera!
(Flickr has been driving me crazy not being able to add tags, save comments etc, so please bear with me!)
HMM!
