What a day! Everything I touched went wrong! Last night the television decided to start turning itself off and on every few seconds. This morning I went for a walk with Lizzie - my son's lovely girlfriend. Took my camera with the intention of trying out the new lens only to realise that the battery was dead! Luckily, we were only a couple of hundred yards from the house so back we went to get a fresh one. The first time I tried to take a photo I was horrified to realise that I hadn't put a memory card in. Then we took a wrong path and had to return the way we had come - but that did allow this view.... Got home and made some coffee, only to have the coffee machine throw a half filled mug across the worktop!! It then became apparent that there was something wrong with little Baxter - he was terribly uncomfortable and agitated. After an hour or so of him not settling, Peter called the emergency vet and we met her at the surgery. It cost us £100 to be told there was nothing wrong with him, so now I feel that I over-walked him to breaking point!! There were a couple of other things that were equally annoying and I will be very glad to see tomorrow....
Ants farming the secretions of Aphids, they protect the aphids the aphids provide food. Circle of life in one shot. Worth zooming in and looking around.

A dog walking pic from t'other morning using the little Sony RX100 compact. A great wee machine that is small enough to fit into any pocket. I was feeling a bit under the weather but the dog needed a walk and I didn't really fancy carrying a camera bag but I can't leave the house without a camera. Its just not physically possible. For a tiny compact it really is a fabulous tool. Great image quality and resolves detail like a far bigger machine.
Single RAW file processed in LR5 and finished in CC. I've used what I would call my "Winter Warmer" preset. Basically just added a pair of Longjohns and a Merino wool vest.
Since 1990, Zanzibar has become a primary seaweed producer in Africa. Seaweed farming activities are usually small-scale and carried out in the intertidal zones largely in marine conservation areas, near mangroves and coral reefs. Eighty-eight per cent of seaweed farmers are women, making this an important activity to elevate their economic status and role in the community. New approaches to aquaculture and marine conservation have emerged only recently (in terms of concrete projects since 2014), with the case in Zanzibar serving as a first attempt to test the level of adherence of seaweed farming with the IUCN Global Standard for Nature-based Solutions.

I travelled up to Gidgegannup to do some work and then onto Toodyay to stay at a friends farm for the night. The landscape is starting to dry out as the hot summer approaches.
Friday afternoon I visited Lake Orchards Farm and spent time learning about aquaponics farming. The closed system tilapia-based farming produces fish and vegetables which are a local food source. I was especially interested in the tilapia aspect as I had been introduced to tilapia in Kenya restaurants decades ago when I was teaching there as a Peace Corps volunteer.

On the way home from Tucson through the Gila River Indian Community you could see this cloud of dust for quite a distance. It was this piece of farm equipment. It may have been coincidence, but as soon as I got out to take a photo, the tractor stopped. Dust is the number one air pollutant in this part of AZ. Actually I only photographed it because I found it interesting.
Maybe it's just a sunrise on a family farm.. But the days start is like a proclamation, "The lands have an impressive sense of awesome" .
The sandy field is a pretty good indicator as to our proximity to the oceanfront. I'm often amazed that anything grows here. Thanks for the look and have a great week.
