This fallen tree has caught my eye a number of times mainly due to the fish like tail that rises from the woodland floor, hence the mermaid play with the title. Trying to get a reasonable composition meant dragging myself through the brambles to get some open space to get the entire body in shot, plus the misty backdrop was an incentive! Taken in Hillock Wood, Buckinghamshire.
A first for me - spent the afternoon out on the West Pennine Moors looking for the right habitat. A bit messy, but this is the best I managed. A reasonable record shot but an incentive to go out and try to find more!
Scrawny checks my deck daily to make sure I haven't changed my mind about seeds. And honestly, I've put seeds out a couple of times, not for Scrawny, but because I want to get a nice shot of a Black-headed Grosbeak (which I did not get). My weakness is its incentive. You can see that Scrawny has scars on its face. Since it acts quite afraid of other raccoons, I think it probably had a few run-ins with larger members of its own species. I always chase it away with lots of noise. I don't want Scrawny to think humans are nice sources of food. I'd rather it was scared of us, for its own sake. It does seem to be putting on some weight though, so it's learning how to survive without Mama Playful.
Nice new paintwork by Barry, the skipper, of Incentive. Should be back in the water this morning then it's back to catching prawns.

Sitting here on an otherwise gloomy day, browsing my photo books from previous years. It makes me want to go out and shoot some more!
Incentive INS 2 in Burghead early this morning. Was only 12 deg C. but no wind so a fine cycle over and back.
Rishabh and I love hiking and have hiked several ‘interesting’ trails. More than once, we returned well after the sunset to find our car to be the last one at the trailhead parking lot. We are used to hiking on most terrains and under every lighting conditions.
But this hike was different.
This particular hike was only 4.4 miles round-trip and involved a slender 1050 feet elevation change. The destination was a beautiful alpine lake, which by most accounts on the internet, was picture perfect. That and the promise of lovely wild-flowers on trail-side meadows convinced us to go for it. This was going to be a beautiful hike, we thought.
However, some thoughts have a tendency to garner hope more than reality.
This particular day of ours began at 3am in California and involved flying to Seattle, driving up to the beautiful North Cascades National Park, stopping by the mesmerizing and windy lake Diablo for hours, and then deciding to do this hike on a moment's spur at around 6pm. “The sun doesn’t set till 8:50, we have time”, I thought. We had some dinner with us, which we planned to devour after quickly wrapping up the hike in about three hours.
But the hike turned out more than a ‘quick hike’. 15 hours on the road, high elevation of the trail (starts at 5200 feet), and a bit of rain during the hike asked for a greater toll from Rishabh than I had anticipated. After a bit of an effort, we made it to the pristine destination and enjoyed a lovely snack by the alpine lake. Somewhat unwillingly, rain clouds dissolved away to let the sun peek warmly from behind an inverted curtain of towering granite peaks to our west. As the sky poured buckets of pantone, bittersweet, and cinnabar on itself, the Cutthroat Peak (pictured above), the Whistler Mountain, and the Liberty Bell stood there bathing shamelessly in that beautiful light. It felt peaceful.
Sadly, that peace came at the price of having to hike down to our car in tar dark. Letting our eyes adapt to the moonless darkness, we hiked at half our pace with all the caution. At one point, the trail entered a thick forest where we could hardly see or hear anything, except occasional animal vocalizations that gave our nerves some jitters. We kept talking to each other loudly to keep apprehensions and bears at bay. After hiking an hour in such darkness, we made it back to our car alright at around 10pm.
Somewhat unexpectedly, this hike turned out to be – to put it mildly – quite a memory-maker, but beautiful nonetheless.

Placed strategically on top of the stack of work I need to do today.
I had to eat a second one, because I didn't like the shots I took of the first one. ;)
Quite a few of these lovely butterflies in Cabilla Woods. Luckily the bramble flowers were enough of an incentive to keep them still briefly!! Blew the highlights but ho-hum!!

My chrysantemums for my adorable friends, who incentive my work with visits, comments and love.
Thanks a lot for your precious support. My love for you. You are my inspiration and the reason I'm stay here.
A lot of hugs!
Our best guess, as this one performed an unrestricted climb at the end of the runway, and the back-seater appears to be clutching a barf bag...
A golden ticket designed for Samsung and there incentives program, the idea was to create a collage of vector shapes and loveliness that resembled all things Dubai
A view of a Parktown street from the office of the Director of a South African policy 'think tank'. An incentive to come to work each day!
my friend, photographer alex bazeos, has photographed this shipwreck on numerous occasions, but my incentive to check it out was low, until mr.G discovered it on his way to an errand this week... so since i was feeling bummed out for most of saturday, he urged me to get off my ass and go shoot it. this is a long exposure at sunset (you can see the lingering sun on the hills of salamina island in the background).
mr.G got some great shots with a long lens -- i'll link to them after he's uploaded a few.
check out alex's great collection of shots on flickr!

Berthed in Lossie for a couple of days now is Incentive. Rigged for working lobster pots but I believe this was previously fitted for trawls. FR279 can just be made out on top of the wheelhouse but I think it was later CE279 in Rathlin.
Dover 28-07-1986. Chartercoach, Great Oakley C276 GVX, Scania K112TRS / Berkhof Eclipse new in 08/1985. Later sold to The Kings Ferry.
Incentive back in the water at Lossie but still waiting for the trip to Burghead. Good luck to Barry with his new boat.
All it will take is a collection of stitched-together bison hides and a central fire-pit and these, two-of-a-kind, still under construction,
"room with a view" condos can be yours if you act quickly. No pesky lawn to mow. Only lovely wildflowers. The Mission Mountains in your backyard. A fresh water-source in the side yard. Who do you know who has a view-field anywhere near as magnificent as this homesite has? As much privacy as this one
has? The peace and serenity? And where are the troublesome neighbors? Nowhere to be seen, that's where? Do not hesitate, home-shoppers. This one won't last ! Lease to own, own to lease. We are entertaining all serious offers. Short term leasing available. And, as an extra incentive, all home tours feature free balloons for the kiddies.
I made this capture just outside the Ninepipes Museum of Early Montana in Charlo, about 50 miles north of Missoula and just shy of the lovely town of Polson on the shores of Flathead Lake.
What kid hasn't fallen in love with teepees once or twice in his life. And what respectable senior citizen doesn't still have a goodly amount of kid in him?
(A free hot tip: Do make sure to visit the Museum here right
on Route 93. I highly recommend it. It is one of the best
Native American museums in the west and also features some marvelous fine art, very unique cards, gifts and jewelry. Do tell
Jo that Dennis says hello. And ask for a free night in the teepee).
