Finally taking the dive (punny) into the world of underwater photography! Thanks to my buddy Matt Sullivan. We found this gorgeous little female Wood Turtle (Glyptemys inscultpa) along the bank of a mountain stream in PA.
Lycoming county, PA
I think adopting a puppy may have had something to do with the delay in getting this done when I had originally expected ;)
As seen in the previous photograph, this chair has needed a new seat cover for a long time. I thought I'd show the cute fabric print and give a shoot-out to Spoonflower.com. You choose a pattern and then they print it on the type of fabric you select. I think the sturdy cotton I picked gives it a feeling of vintage barkcloth.
After I filled the holes in the seat, I added "elbow patches" of linen over the areas the cats liked scratching the best--to slow down future damage--before the final fabric covering.
With the demonstration in Manchester over, the police can finally pack up their equipment and move on.
Finally got a pose I was searching for. Beautiful high fog and
soft light was the forecast. Had lots of great ops and close fly byes. Click for large view.
With the looming DJI ban along with the growing thought that I should, I finally gave in and bought myself a drone, not a super fancy expensive one, but enough to do the job (just in case I leave it on the side of the road in Idaho). Despite my early convictions that they made people lazy, and I do believe that they do, some won't even get out of their car to take the photo, I didn't want to miss out. I will say that it is pretty cool, does open up new shots, and has made me think differently about the hobby.
Coming into Durand with a short train, the Huron & Eastern "Rocket" swings around the Port Huron Wye and will prepare to back in to yard their train.
After a day out over Buttermere, trying to rediscover my passion for photography (which I feel is now back after a lovely day out alone) I was driving home and seen some colour over Keswick, so obviously the hope was that there was no one on the jetty at Ashness, and luckily, I had it all to myself. After seeing so many great shots from here, and after trying numerous times myself, finally I have a shot from here that I am very happy with.
The longest exposure i've ever done aswell at 240 seconds. I did do a couple longer but they turned out VERY noisy, but will try and work with them at some point.
Canon 450d, Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6, 240 seconds, 10mm, f18, ISO100, Kood ND4 and Hitech ND 0.9 grad.

finally wrapping up this great Creation adventure from back in February. I'm behind. Tough year. This beauty was just posing his heart out for me and I'm thankful. Thanks for all your visits and faves and comments. I appreciate you so much.
testing out the focus and reach of the Tamron SP 150-600 Di VC G2 on a female pileated woodpecker deep in the woodlands..this is at the extreme end wide-open
This was a funny storm as it actually broke up along this section within minutes of this photo then rapidly rebuilt and absolutely drenched Toowoomba
Finally some sun appeared.......
EEMS-DART (IMO 9195640, MMSI 236453000) is a General Cargo Ship built in 2002 (23 years old) and currently sailing under the flag of Gibraltar. Her length overall (LOA) is 88.6 meters and her width is 12.6 meters.
The last month in the Sonoran Desert has largely been a "nonsoon" as we've remained in a severe draught mode. It has been so frustrating to see storm clouds build and even hear thunder, and then have the rain miss us each and every time. However this past week we've actually gotten some good downpours from monsoon. So happy the cloudy weather is finally paying off with some much needed rain!
I don't remember when it rained this much, it's been that long. It cooled things down for a short time but the sun is back out and it's getting hot again.
Finally back on my feet after well and truly being bowled over with the flu. Thanks for the well wishes these last few days!
Haven't had the chance to get out with one thing and another going on so another dip into the vaults....
Finally the clouds cleared up and we got the full view.
The blue lake (Lagoa Azul) is in the foreground, the green lake (Lagoa verde) is in the background to the left. The separation is today only by a bridge.
This panorama is composed out of nine shots. So to to really enjoy hit the "L" key.

I didn't wear a coat to work today for the first time in almost six months. While we are not quite done with the cold, the freezing and the snow of winter has finally started to fade in our memories. Finally!
And a huge thank you and shout of appreciation to you. The support that I receive is so generous and amazing. I passed two million views this morning. It took me 35 months to reach one million. It took me 3 months to reach another. You have everything to do with that and I thank you.
Marvelous Monday to you my friend.
As heavy rains begin to set, CP 686 rolls into Milwaukee with a CSX MAC up front. Finally caught one of these.
Finally managed to visit Santon Warren to see these, still very crowed though. They visited for a drink until it became overcrowed which was a pity.
Bill gets to go on a nice date...
[ALL ABOARD for A-Z group]
thanks to Rose (@mesmer81) for the boat!
Nearly two years living here and this is the first koala I’ve spotted on our neighbouring golf course, which is also a conservation area. The koalas here are tagged and monitored by Currumbin Sanctuary wildlife park. Such a joy to see this one.

Explore #480 Well after about 45 days we finally got a sunset of any note. I looked out the window and squealed when I saw it, it was such an unfamiliar, yet comforting sight ;)
There is a series of new advertisements on the television here at the moment. They are about (un)complicating your life, (un)stressing (un)winding and generally putting more (un) into your life.
It goes on to say.... does it really matter if for one night in the week the kids have toast for dinner, or the floor does not get mopped for a few days (weeks...lol) but that is is more important to (un)wind...
I am really liking these ads for some reason, and I am not a TV ad junkie kinda gal. lol But the message there is solid and (un)deniable.... we do need more (un) in our life.
So what things do we need to (un) up in our day to day routines?? that will make our lives less (un)comfortable and more (un)deniably wonderful lol ...
see I am liking the (un)'s
Is it ok to sometimes say well I am sorry, but I am (un)able to do that.....and more importantly be (un)affected by that choice.
Can we just let ourselves be (un)armed and let go....and not have to have everything planned and in order...
I certainly do not think that that is (un)attainable :) In fact I think it is definitely not (un)relalistic to want that for ourselves sometimes.
If we have learned this behaviour of always having to DO, can it be (un)learned?
I do think this could (un)lock some of the daily stresses if we just let go sometimes and be a little more (un)neurotic lol Because are we really being the best we can when we are (un)rested, (un)happy and (un)fulfilled?
So here is to getting some more (un) in your life. I would like to be more (un) encumbered, (un)wrinked and (un)even lol just to name a few......
How about you...? What would you like to (un) ?
Think about it lol I promise it wont be to (un)comforting....
So here is to an (un)eventful Saturday , a (un)caring Sunday and a (un)Mondayitis Monday lol :) Car (ok I made unmondayitis up- sue me lol )

It took until November for our area to burst with the normal colors of October, but here they are at long last.
After tramping for two days on Mount Taranaki, the cloud finally cleared for this reveal just before sunset. Taken from Holly Hut on the Pouakai Crossing. I am intrigued by that very large slab-like structure near the top on the right - it looks like it may collapse at any time! Be great if anyone knows what this feature is called? (Update: I think it's called the Turtle)
"Egmont National Park is a mountainous area that encompasses three volcanic cones. The main peak of Mount Taranaki (2,518 m) forms the nucleus of the park. It is the most recent and only active volcanic peak in the park, although it is now considered dormant. Because it is considered one of the most symmetrical mountains in the world, it is a very distinctive landmark. The other two volcanic cones, which are now extinct, form the basis of the Pouakai and Kaitake Ranges in the north-western part of the park." www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/taranak...
