I visited Glastonbury on Wednesday 22nd June 2022 to capture some of the bus action transporting festival goers to the annual event. Of course, I was instantly attracted to the 6 Bristol VRs and 7 Olympians operated by Chepstow Classic Buses, but there were plenty of other interesting buses to photograph as well!

Well the time has come for Sunset Sailor to raise the mainsail and head off into the mist. My last post, here, is one of the first digital photos I ever took, using my HP Photosmart C20 camera.

A lot has changed in my life over the past two years and it's time for me to change as well. There aren't enough words to express the gratitude I have for my contacts and friends here on Flickr. You are the best and have shared your best over the years. I have harvested so much enjoyment from your work and words.

Not related to my departure, but as an aside, download any photos or textures you want from my posts, while you can, since non-Pro accounts will be stripped to a minimum sometime soon.

 

Please be aware my leaving is not related to Flickr price policy changes. It's a personal choice.

 

Hoist the sail, mates...

 

"And the first one now

Will later be last

For the times they are a-changin'."

First Congregational Church is at the corner of State and High Streets in Mendon, Illinois in Adams County. Here is a brief history of the church.

 

February 20, 1833, The First Congregational of Mendon was organized. This was the First Congregational Fellowship organized in Illinois. Most of the charter members were from Guilford, Connecticut.

My first Bird In Flight shot that I felt can be shared.

 

First share-able shot after more than 100 clicks. I am still trying to learn the technique of getting closer with the birds without scaring them away. However I am not even close yet. Hoping to further improve with experience.. :)

First West Yorkshire 'Sheffield' YN08NLY 37481 'Tony Greenwood' seen leaving Sheffield Interchange on service 32a to Firth Park

While it is still winter, the hints that spring will come appears each year with the first flowers - Snowdrops. Always a little miracle of nature to see them pop up from the cold soil each year. These were in the kirkyard of the old Cadder Parish Church, surrounding the tombstones in a miniature forest of velvet whiteness.

I posted a snap of dawning in the South St. Vrain Canyon in the Rockies and the sky. Boy, from the look of it, it might be a cheery day soon, judging form this dawn! The sun rose over the ridge south of the Middle Fork Canyon. I could not miss this early morning shot! Here is a ponderosa with dwarfage that might not make very good barn or even shack siding for farmer Mac.

 

I was camping up at this mellow spot in the mountains and the dawning screamed, "Get up and pay attention!" The early morning produced this encompassing image in the past. This tree performed stunts to get into the sun.

 

I know, I know I recently skidded into Flickr doldrums, as I still hit all sorts of disgusting Win 10 barriers to progress, only two of which I recently enumerated in comments. They'll never build a solid, logical operating system, just another platform of dodges. I manage to choke out one or two but it should pick up now my new Win 10 machine is PhotoShop ready. Comcast crashed me again this entire morning. A curse on MS and Comcast, a couple of the worst in America, next to the POTUS.

  

I was very pleased to see my first swifts of 2015,they were not my local swifts and they wouldnt come to close.But hopefully i will get better shots in the weeks to come,i will have to check to see if my local ones have returned.
