Old soldiers never die they only fade away.
But the young ones do not die, no they are cut down instead.
And someone pulled the trigger, gave the order, held the sword,
And some one wrote the advert in the paper that they read.
Thy will be done,
But you won't get your hands on my son.
You can wait till kingdom come.

Liffey Head bog complex Wicklow
This was taken in 2008 when I had just bought my first DSLR but it did not originally look much like this - shot on auto, jpeg, no real composition, washed out colour.
It has been cropped and re-processed in photoshop (colour, light, de-noise and a few other things) and finally run through RNI Film app on iPhone to have a Technicolor look applied to it.
It is not an image that will appeal to many I suspect but I really like its simplicity in capturing Wicklow in winter - iron hard ground and glacial blue skies.
UPDATE: I honestly did not expect this photo to be added to Flickr’s “Explore” page (No. 395 out of 500 on January 15, 2022). What a pleasant surprise! Thank you for checking out my photos. 😁
I truly do not know if this is a Tremella fungus or not. I found a bunch of mushroom spores growing under one of our outside Christmas decorations. Google image search thinks this is a type of Tremella fungus but I think it is growing next to a Parasol or Shaggy Parasol mushroom through the mulch we have in our front yard.
Can these two species grow next to one another?

Thanks Explore (#26). Best position (#58).
Somewhat unusual to see rain streaks so close to my house but the surface humidity was only 51 percent. This almost looks like virga but the rain was reaching the ground just beyond the house. 26 minutes later, a rain/hail downpour that lasted only 4 minutes produced around a quarter of an inch of precipitation and pea size hail that covered the ground: www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/40947522454/in/photost....

Great moon tonight. But bloomin' cold out there... (hand held... should have set the tripod up and done it properly)

Sorry for two almost identical photos in a row. I received a critique that my previous composition was poor because I didn't include the legs. I find it quite a challenge to compose, focus and zoom as an animal moves towards me. So, here is one with the whole cross fox.
I find white balance with snow is very tricky. I welcome anyone's thoughts on the warmer previous shot and this cooler temp which gives the snow a bluish tint. I've lived all my life in cold climates and even looking outside I am not sure which looks 'right'. I think I prefer the cooler blue, even if it isn't accurate.

I have driven by this scene many times but have not seen a train in a good position.
As a side note, my computer has given up... editing is not as easy right now.

Besides the really cool Disney topiaries at the The Flower and Garden Festival, the other thing I always look forward to is the sand sculpture. For the three years, I’ve gone to the Festival, the sculpture has related to Disney Nature films. When I was at Epcot in March for the opening day, they had just started working on this, so it was great to be able to go back and see the finished piece.
