Head over to my blog for the longer explanation of what I've been up to and how I made that goat head on the wall :)

Thanks for the feedback during the WIP stages, those wh contributed! =)
Ipomoea pes-caprae, also known as bayhops, beach morning glory or goat's foot, is a common pantropical creeping vine belonging to the family Convolvulaceae. It grows on the upper parts of beaches and endures salted air.
Went out looking for some Goats at my friend's place today...the gang was all there, but they were mobbing me for treats, which made it difficult to pull off the portraits I wanted. This photo has tons of issues, but I thought it stood out for the expression on the Goat's face (someone suggested that he was yawning, I guess I can tend to be boring)...and let's face it, we're all goats waiting for slaughter, so what does it matter. Happy New Year! Doesn't help that I'm listening to Frank Black's Song "All Around the World" I know you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, but I try.

I had an unsuccessful aurora chase back on September 19th (due to clouds), but I did get this shot of blue bioluminescence (produced by the plankton Noctiluca scintillans) at Goat's Bluff south of Hobart. This was taken after the Moon rose, providing some nice foreground illumination :)

Aruncus dioicus also known as goat's beard, buck's-beard or bride's feathers is a flowering herbaceous perennial plant in the family Rosaceae, and is the type species of the genus Aruncus. It has alternate, pinnately compound leaves, on thin, stiff stems, with plumes of feathery white or cream flowers borne in summer. This plant can be found in moist woodland, often at higher altitudes, throughout temperate areas of Europe, Asia, and eastern and western North America. In the UK it is considered suitable for planting in and around water areas, and has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. In Italy the young shoots are eaten, usually boiled briefly in herb infused water, and then cooked with eggs and cheese. In Friuli it is one of the ingredients in the local home-made soup based on wild greens called 'pistic'

Normally considered a weed, I think both the Goat's Beard flower and seed head are really pretty. See below
This summer-blooming wildflower is larger than a dandelion and sits atop a 2-3 foot stem in sunny openings. The plant was introduced from Europe and is now widely established throughout Ohio and beyond. It is a member of the aster family.

Yesterday, 6 September 2018, turned out to be a much longer day than I had planned! In the very early hours of the morning, I happened to check the weather forecast just out of interest, and saw that rain is expected on about six of the coming days (if it actually happens). Decided then and there that I had better get out for a drive, just in case.
My intention had been to just drive some of the roads east of the city, getting out there via 22X, which is definitely not a drive I like to do. On a previous trip, I had made two mistakes along this complcated highway, and ended up on Stoney Trail going north and, on the return trip, I was in the wrong lane and ended up heading far, far south of the city on the worst major highway. The latter happened again yesterday and, like on the previous drive, I ended up going to the Saskatoon Farm. Fortunately, I was in time to get an afternoon meal there and have a wander around the grounds taking photos. I love this place.
There were certain things I wanted to go and see again, including a few old barns and sheds. I was also hoping that I might just come across a beautiful hawk or two within camera reach. I even finally got to take photos of a few shorebirds. Throw in a butterfly or two and the odd flower, and I was happy.
On this trip, I really wanted to make myself use the Nikon P900 a lot. I always take a few of the same photos with my Panasonic and Canon point-and-shoots, too, as I am not yet used to the P900. One of my concerns about the latter is that it seems to blow out the white in an image, from what I have seen in quite a few other people's photos - didn''t seem too bad yesterday. My other - and main - concern is focus. I still have not been able to stand in front of a flower/something small at various distances, and zoom in. All I see in the viewfinder is a coloured blur. The other cameras don't do this, and I've been doing it easily for many years. Hope I can sort this out! I guess it's just a case of experimenting. So far, I think I am liking how the P900 takes photos.
The western salsify (Tragopogon dubius) or more commonly known as the goat’s beard flower, is a species native to Eurasia and North Africa. In the early 1900’s goat’s beard was introduced to North America and it is now found across the majority of the continent. It’s subtle yellow flower is often overlooked, though it’s massive dandelion-like seed head usually attracts more attention. In fact the seed head can span 10 centimetres, making it difficult to miss as it stretches just above most native grasses. It prefers dry open environments and is commonly found in meadows, fields, roadsides and is rather troublesome in perennial horticultural crops. Most people consider this foreign flower a weed and there are even specific herbicides for controlling it, nevertheless I can’t help but stare at its complex and textured seed head and be amazed.
