I have shot with Nikon cameras (FE, N8008, D1, D1X, N80, F100, D100, D2H, D200, D5000, D300, D90, D700, D3, D3X, D4, D800E, D750, D810& D850) and Nikkor lenses (too numerous to list) almost exclusively for the past 15 years. The photo above shows many of the current tools I use to do what I do. These are the essential Nikon DSLRs and Nikkor lenses today.

Gold filigree finger-ring set with an engraved Roman intaglio gem made of nicolo, depicting the figure of Bonus Eventus (the divine personification of 'Good Outcome'). Nicolo is a cameo or intaglio that is carved in onyx in such a way that the top image layer displays a translucent bluish/grey color. This thin top layer of design lays atop a thicker layer of black material that shows through, imbuing the design with the characteristic tint of blue. Nicolo pieces have been carved since antiquity.

When we were trekking through the rainforest in Black River Gorges' National Park we were lucky to see so many of these magnificent bats. The rain forest has a special microclimate which means itâs cool enough for the bats to fly during the day. I couldnât believe the size of the first one I saw flying towards me, made me think of a pterodactyl, they really are large with a wingspan of up to 100cm. They have such cute little faces and their favourite food this time of year seems to be the fruit of the ebony tree which we watched them munch away on. We also saw many of these bats fly over the garden of our rented accommodation, but that was only at night, so couldnât get any photos.
The Mauritian flying fox (Pteropus niger), also known as Greater Mascarene flying fox or Mauritius fruit bat is a large megabat species endemic to Mauritius and La Reunion.
The Mauritian flying fox can reach a wingspan of 100 cm, thus being the largest endemic mammal on Mauritius. Its fur is golden. It has small ears, thick hair on the tibiae, dorsal coloration of glossy, blackish brown mantle, tinged with rufous, which extends posteriorly into a dark brown median spinal tract, flanked by buff lateral patches. It is a medium-sized species; the adult forearm length averages 152 mm, with no difference between males and females. Mostly nocturnal, although some are occasionally seen during the day, they normally roost by sunrise. These fruit bats range in size from 40-800 g and occur from sea level to 1500 m above.
Representative samples of flying foxes (genus Pteropus) in the Philippines came from different islands of the country. The split of Pteropus species from their megabat relatives was between 28.37 and 34.63 million years ago. Within the genus, the first evolutionary event arose probably between 12.41 and 15.39 million years ago.
Fruit bats, such as the P. niger, are extremely important to the Western Indian Island ecosystems. Their role in these ecosystems is as pollinators and seed dispersers. P. niger currently resides on the island of Mauritius. It became extinct on the island of Reunion between 1772 and 1801, but may more recently have recolonized the island from Mauritius.

I loved driving around Strathaird Peninsula, beautiful scenery, great narrow winding roads, loads of sheep, highland cattle, horses and birds of prey.
Strathaird is the peninsula on the south coast of the Isle of Skye that lies between Loch Slapin and Loch Scavaig. The smallest and least populated of the main peninsulas, it is reached via the scenic B8083 road which winds its way through the Red Cuillin Hills, around the head of Loch Slapin and through the hamlets of Torrin, Kirkibost and Elgol.
With rocky cliffs, sea caves, the Small Isles offshore and abundant marine wildlife - including White-tailed Eagle and Otter - the coastal scenery is a real attraction. But perhaps even better than this, the west of Strathaird provides the best views possible into the Black Cuillins, Britain's most ferocious mountains.
My wife gave me this signet ring when we were engaged in 1962. I wore it every day until I attempted to catch a football and was hit by it on the end of my finger. I immediately took my ring off and my finger swelled up. I've never been able to wear it again as the knuckle is enlarged.
If placed on a table with the engraved side down and spun rapidly, the ring turns over and spins with the engraved side up until it loses speed and falls over.
The Our Daily Challenge group has chosen Ring as the topic for today.

Recently I've been working on my oil and water photography and I think I've finally mastered this complicated technique at last! This is one of the first images that I took recently that I was extremely pleased with, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I do :)
If you'd like to know more about this image then head on over to my blog to see a post I've written about it hanbphotography.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/my-photography-oil...

Jews were an important part of the culture in the Mississippi Delta until about 40 years ago and the Goldring/Woldenberg Institute of Southern Jewish Life (ISJL) is working to preserve the history of this group by collecting documents and oral histories, as well as lending support to the remaining Jewish communities in the South.
The Mississippi Jewish population peaked at over 6,000 in the 1920s and is estimated to be only about 1,550 people as of 2013.
The Mississippi Delta was home to the majority of Mississippi's Jews. For the most part, they ran clothes stores, shoe stores, and jewelry stores. The Jewish owners were willing to serve both black and white customers, and would even accept returns from black customers, something non-Jewish white merchants usually weren't willing to do. In many Delta towns, Jewish-owned stores were the majority of stores on Main Street until the 1960s.
The historian Gene Dattel (author of the outstanding book "Cotton and Race in the Making of America") grew up in Ruleville, Mississippi (my father taught him in junior high school). At one time, the Dattel family owned 12 stores throughout the Delta. Gene tells the story of his grandfather, who ran a store in Sunflower, Mississippi but had a terrible time learning English. His black clerk, Mose Miles, finally decided it would be easier for him to learn Yiddish than to continue to try to teach his boss how to speak English, so Mose learned Yiddish.
It's a fascinating part of Mississippi history. The Hebrew Union Temple has a small museum dedicated to the history of the Jews in the Mississippi Delta (unfortunately, it was closed when we were in Greenville this past December). The Hebrew Union Temple no longer has a full time rabbi, but it does continue to serve almost 50 families living in the Greenville area.

I followed my friend and local dog whisper Lindsay Goldring while she worked with a couple of pups the other day. She is the former executive director of the Animal Adoption Center here in JH and now she donates her time training some of the dogs while they are waiting for someone to give them a good home.
Its funny, this image looks posed but really Lindsay was just pleased with Norm's performance and I think that Norm was pleased with his performance too!
you can check out Lindsay's website at www.theinnerpup.com and.... if you're ever looking for a dog or cat.... visit www.animaladoptioncenter.org

My inspiration is always love and history, and my passion to a fault is craftsmanship and responsibility. Those are the simplest things. It goes beyond jewelry. It's every part of my life.
We saw this gorgeous baby Highland Cattle near Plockton, Scotland. Only a few days old and completely adorable, I do think they have gone a little overboard with the ear tags, but guess he might lose one. What I love about this breed is how docile they are. I grew up around cattle, so know their body language, this little guy’s mother was very friendly and was quite happy for me to walk to her baby and photo him. In fact at first it was so hard to work out which one was his mother as there were ten females around in either very nearly ready to drop stages or having wee babies with them. It wasn’t until he decided he was thirsty that we worked out which one was mum, and as it happened it was the furthest away one, but I bet she kept a close eye on us.
Highland cattle (Scottish Gaelic: Bò Ghàidhealach; Scots: Heilan coo) are a Scottish cattle breed. They have long horns and long wavy coats that are coloured black, brindle, red, yellow, white, silver (looks white but with a black nose) or dun, and they are raised primarily for their meat. They originated in the Highlands and Hebrides Islands of Scotland and were first mentioned in the 6th century AD. The first herd book described two distinct types of Highland cattle but, due to crossbreeding between the two, only one type now exists and is registered. They have since been exported worldwide.
They are a hardy breed, having been bred to withstand the conditions in the Scottish Highlands. Their long hair gives the breed its ability to overwinter. Bulls can weigh up to 800 kilograms (1,800 pounds) and cows up to 500 kilograms (1,100 pounds). Their milk generally has a very high butterfat content, and their meat, regarded as of the highest quality, is gaining mainstream acceptance as it is lower in cholesterol than other varieties of beef.

The topic for Macro Mondays is Good Luck Charm, and, since neither my wife nor I carry or wear that we would consider to be a good luck charm, I'm substituting our lucky number for lucky charm: 27. Probably lucky is the wrong word to ascribe to 27, but it's a number that has repeatedly shown up in our life:
• We were married on the 27th,
• Our address, where we've lived for the last 45 years is 27,
•The elevation of our town is 27 feet,
• We live at the base of 2700-foot high Mt Tam (o.k., I had to round that up a bit, but just a bit...),
• 27 appears in our SS & DL numbers,
• Our dog's license begins with 27,
• Our cell phone #s start with 27,
• My favorite of all the guns I owned back when I was a hunter was my .270 Winchester,
There's more, but that's enough for now.
This 27 was inscribed in the inside of my wedding ring, and, after 52 years of wear, is barely visible to the naked eye. What I find a bit remarkable here is all the scratches that became apparent while enhancing this image to bring out the 27. This is the first time the ring has been off my finger in all those years, so where did the scratches come from?...
