This was one of my goals. To find and shoot a nice male in breeding plumage. He was the third goal of an epic day at Delaware State Forest, Pike County PA.

Went out with good friend Tim Poulton with the specific goal of setting up this scene with his Gretsch Guitar. No guitars where harmed in the making of this. The base of the guitar was carefully masked up.

Photographed at the Japanese Art Museum, Haifa, during the exhibition Spirit of the Way.
The exhibition explores the concept of “dō” — the Way — in Japanese arts, and reflects on mushin and zanshin, the awareness that continues beyond action.
“This exhibition covers a wide range of Japanese arts that carry the suffix “dō” (道), which have shaped the cultural and spiritual landscape of Japan. Dō, meaning “way,” originates from the Chinese concept of Dao, which was integrated over the generations into Zen Buddhism. Both traditions sought to understand the essence of the “way” as an inner and spiritual journey.
This view has profoundly influenced the evolution of many Japanese arts, including shodo (書道), “the way of writing”; chado (茶道), “the way of tea”; and budo (武道), the martial arts. Each invites the practitioner to a process of meditation in action, beginning with the quieting of the mind and continuing with performance of the movement with complete attention and full presence, without expectation of a result and without striving for a goal. The action itself is the purpose and the reward.
The connection between these arts and the spirit of Zen Buddhism is embodied in the concept of mushin (無心), a consciousness “without grasping”. This is a state in which thoughts and expectations do not disrupt the action, and the action occurs as second nature, for example, when drawing the sword freely without hesitation in martial arts, the line that emerges during a single breath in calligraphy, or the meticulous movements of the tea ceremony. Mushin is not passive emptiness. It is complete clarity and the simplicity of harmonious action, which is done as if by itself.
Alongside stands the principle of zanshin (残心, “the remaining heart”), an awareness that continues even after the action is finished. This is the moment after the action, whose importance is no less than that of the action itself. It is the calming of inner vibration after swinging the sword, the gentle tremor that remains on the paper after the brush is lifted, the silence after pouring the tea into its bowl. Zanshin returns the gaze to the state of being that continues beyond the movement itself.
The arts that carry the suffix “dō” offer a complete way of life – shugyō (修行, “rigorous training”) – and practitioners themselves become the “way”. The way unfolds in every moment and every action. It is a path for personal development throughout life, and a complete dedication to continuous practice that is inseparable from life itself.”

Broadoak Park, and this spot is about 10 minutes walk away, although I have to cross a main road which can take ages.
It was simplicity that was the goal of this shot. A rock, a cloud, and the ocean. "Less is more", they say when it comes to life. Until it was discovered that a very wealthy individual coined the phrase, attempting to convince the less fortunate to accept their lot in life.
However, this simple phrase is true in photography. eliminating clutter does remove distractions. This is what the phrase is meant to illustrate. These are the simple goals that any photographer desires.

Shooting macro is incredible fun
Suddenly things are popping up
I see a person and a ball
What do you see?
(Obviously not easy to say anything here, as I see comments are coming but they keep disappearing all the time....)
I haven't got any grand travel plans for 2025. But that's OK as looking closer to home offers many possibilities. I would like to shoot more Jurassic Coast, Dartmoor and Cornwall.
And Somerset - I will be keeping a close eye on the redevelopment of this pier. I can't believe I have not shot Glastonbury Tor and then there is those skeleton trees near Exmoor.
So lots to think about and hopefully this Twixmas gloomy weather will pass. Please join me if anyone finds themselves down my way.
On another note will this Gavin and Stacey hype ever end? Only mentioning it as this is dead opposite Barry Island.
While the bigger power seen around the system (sort of) reflects the larger, longer and heavier trains, the rule is still the same. Move cars to and from customers. The two SD60M's are seen spotting USG Walworth on train L351. The plan was for these to build a T002 train for Chicago the day before, but plans quickly changed and they were simply used to finish the local work on the Fox Lake subdivison the next morning, seen here.

My goal with this series is to explore every day scenes under the cover of darkness. A street corner, a lamp post, a doorway. Big city, small town, urban, rural. Man-made light versus nature’s darkness–––light and shadow interpreting minimalist settings in black and white. To see more in this series, check out Cover Of Darkness.

I'm no believer in any silly religious crap, so don't take this the wrong way. But this morning when I arose, I was pleased as can be to see that we had had a bit of rain last night. As you know, California has been in drought much too much. Not only that, but the valley in which I live has suffered from wildfires even though they have occurred hundreds of miles from us. The smoke has been miserable, and for that reason I've not gone on a morning walk for awhile, as I feared the inhalation of particulate matter might be doing more damage than the forsaking of exercise. Thus it was a beautiful opportunity to be out and about. So, that's my Thanksgiving story. Merry Thanksgiving to all of you who do that thing.
So here we are... achievement unlocked: 7000 followers. Thank you all, truly, I'm overwhelmed with the love <3.
Some of us have personal goals that we set for ourselves, long ago, I had descided that this was it, and now that I'm here... I'm not really sure what to do with myself.
A few things are coming to mind: Continue blogging for a few of my long-term sponsors and events, possibly get back into creating some new BOM stuff, or straight out retire.
Maybe it's a ten year itch, a Mid-(second)Life-Crisis... who knows, it will likely pass... just know that I have no more expectations of myself or anyone else, it's super empowering.
