Took this shot as if I were about to launch off in my boat. In a few weeks this will be a very busy boat launch as the salmon start to arrive
So basically I've been working on her 'look' forever. I finally got her eyes and need to work on her outfit. Of course, I've also put her up for sale because I just don't know anymore...
Vulcan, United Launch Alliance’s next-generation American rocket, lifts off in this artist’s rendering. The rocket design leverages the proven success of the Delta IV and Atlas V launch vehicles while introducing advanced technologies and innovative features. Vulcan will have a maximum liftoff thrust of 3.8 million pounds and carry 56,000 pounds to low Earth orbit, 33,000 pounds to a geo-transfer orbit and 16,000 pounds to geostationary orbit with greater capability than any currently available single-core launch vehicle.

Most of the vapor trail is high enough it's still lit up by the sun - including the lowest part, which is clearly reddened!
The bright spot in the middle of the frame, below the trail, is Venus. The one in the thicker part is the previous stage after separation.
Probably launched from Vandenberg, judging by the trajectory, and probably SpaceX, based on the fact that they seem to do a lot more launches than anyone else these days.
Somehow I caught a Tufted titmouse just after it launched itself off of a bird feeder. A great combination of sharp detail on the body with blurred action on the wings.
On a misty, Sunday morning my grandson (22yrs) and I took a bike ride up to Rat Lake from Mill Bay Road at Bamberton, BC (on Vancouver Island).
It was a blast! After an exhilarating bike ride, we put the drone up and got some misty video of the lake from 100ft.
The trail is maintained by the Cowichan Valley Regional District while the land is owned by a logging company. After landing the drone, we rode our bikes up to the lake. The trails are very rough.

We got Marilia's GREECE rocket up tonight! These are two consecutive frames from the Poker Flat AASAP allsky camera, identical exposures - the rocket just puts off a crapload of light when it leaves the pad.
Basically straight out of camera, I might replace this with a better version tomorrow when I've had a chance to look at what I can do with what I've got. And definitely write a little more about it when I have a little time.
On 2026-02-14 @1759 PST SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 from SLC-4 on Vandenberg SFB, California. On board were 24 satellites for the Starlink mega-constellation
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN, or MAVEN, spacecraft begins its 10-month journey to Mars, launching atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket at 1:28 p.m. EST from Space Launch Complex 41 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Launch was on schedule Nov. 18 at the opening of a two-hour launch window. After a 10-month journey to the Red Planet, MAVEN will study its upper atmosphere in unprecedented detail from orbit above the planet. Built by Lockheed Martin in Littleton, Colo., MAVEN will arrive at Mars in September 2014 and will be inserted into an elliptical orbit with a high point of 3,900 miles, swooping down to as close as 93 miles above the planet's surface.

Today, Saturday 18th April 2015, saw Stagecoach promoting their Kite service in Aldershot.
New Enviro200s entered service on the 20 in January 2015, reinvigorating the 'Kite' branding (it having been dampened somewhat by branded buses being repainted and a PVR higher than the number of branded buses).
From 15th March 2015, having been registered with the Traffic Comissioners, the 20 was supposed to loose its number in favour of plain "Kite". Although Surrey CC changed all the timetables and e-plates on stops, Stagecoach did not change the LEDs, and buses continued to show "20".
The launch today mentioned the new name, and saw new Enviro200 37266 (SL64 HXA) parked in Wellington Street, with a stand showing some publicity, and also offering special mini Kites (which did actually fly in today's highish winds). For some reason, Stagecoach Gold Enviro300 27918 (SN63 YPU) was there as well - parked facing 37266.
Here we see Kite Enviro 37266 and some of the promotional material set out in front of it.
Despite the launch today, buses out in service were still showing "20"!
Wellington Street, Aldershot, Hampshire.
Built 1943 at the Ranelagh Yard, Wooton Creek, Isle of Wight as an Air Sea Rescue Launch for the RAF, GEORGE HAIG has a mahogany double diagonal hull and Perkins diesel engines which replaced the original Perkins petrol engines when she was de-commissioned in 1947. She was taken on charge on 1st June 1943 at Calshot in 238MU, and originally allocated to the base but was transferred to the Admiralty on 23rd February 1944.
She was converted by Leo Robinson (possibly at Tewkesbury) in May 1944 and allocated to Special Forces for Operation Overlord serving with ANCXF (Allied Naval Command eXpeditionary Force). This group was the Anglo-American force that made all the preparations for the invading forces in Normandy. She was allocated to HMS LUCIFER at Swansea on 24th May 1944 and after D-Day was re-allocated to HMS VECTIS in December 1944, She was utilized for boarding party duties until HMS VECTIS was decommissioned in May 1945. Later that year she was laid up but was retained for re-allocation. Two such allocations were authorized but both were subsequently cancelled and on the 10th December 1945 she was laid up at DSCD at Poole.
She was registered as PINNACE at Poole (she was registered as no 17 in Poole 1949) to Maurice Wilkinson Derrick, Redhall, Roestock, St Albans, Staffs. She was then purchased by R.G. Davidge on 1 April 1961for £3100 from John Peate, 30 Elgin Court, Parkstone, Dorset. On Sunday 20 August 1961, PINNACE was rescued by the Shoreham lifeboat after going to the help of a capsized dinghy, when the rigging and sails of the dinghy had fouled her propeller.
In the 1961 season, she visited Shoreham (home port), Gosport, Cowes, Le Havre, Newhaven and Shoreham. In 1962, she visited Pin Mill and Harwich. In October 1962 she was renamed GEORGE HAIG. In 1965/66 she underwent an alteration to make a saloon over the engine room. In the 1960s, she cruised extensively from Lands End to Harwich, Holland, Belgium and through the French canals.
In 1971 immediately after R.G. Davidge had sold GEORGE HAIG, her new owners were arrested for drug smuggling. From 1971 – 1987 her whereabouts were not known, but in 1987 she was bought by Mike Johnson who kept her at Essex Marina on the River Crouch until 1998 and then moved her to Dauntless Boat Yard, Canvey Island.
She is now moored at Leigh on Sea and has her original wheelhouse together with equipment and controls. Her engines are still installed and could be restored to working order. She is one of only a few surviving RAF Air Sea Rescue Launches from the approximately 30 built at Ranelagh Yard in the Isle of Wight in the early 1940s.
The first launch of the Falcon Heavy rocket. The audio is in sync with the video, so the sounds of the rocket are delayed by the 3.9 mile (6.3km) distance. The video continues after the rocket has left the frame for additional audio.
I recorded this video with my old Canon Rebel T1i and 85mm f/1.8 lens. The Magic Lantern logs suggest that the camera started at f/5.6 (cut from what is presented) and then used f/22. This may be the partial explanation for the spots on the frame. I hadn't seen them before, and they aren't present on still images I took from the lens on another camera the same day.
I recorded the audio with a Zoom H2n using its four channel option. I don't know how well I managed to get that into this video, or even if Flickr handles more than two channels.
I made a longer video, too long for Flickr, that also shows the booster landing:
Quite a bit of PS work needed here to take out the sun reflections on my twin Singh-Ray Filters here. I used my three stop reverse grad and two stop hard edged grad to hold back that direct sunlight whilst exposing properly for the foreground rocks.
I'm not sure that the whole shot escaped totally unscathed - but I like the energy of the breaking wave and the rushing water in the foreground.
Hope you enjoy it too ;-)

Morning launch of a Falcon 9 rocket. The view is somewhat in to the sun in the morning, so the flame is not nearly as distinct as it is for afternoon launches. Still pretty cool... if you know what it is you're seeing!

One of the launches which operates the cruises round Derwentwater. ( a close look will show the carved wooden owl in the adjacent photograph).
The Annie Mellor is a passenger vessel built in 1932 by Borwick & Sons as a houseboat for Sir George Mellor, JP. At the time, there was seating for 120 with accommodation for 40 in the cabin which was furnished in blue velvet with mahogany and brass fittings. It arrived at Derwentwater in 1935 and after a total rebuild in 2008 is in regular use.
Annie Mellor was the sister of Sir George Mellor, JP, who was appointed a knighthood in 1921 for public and national services, particularly in connection with The King’s Lancashire Military Convalescent Hospital, Blackpool.
Wild tiercel (male) tundra Peregrine falcon whom I call "Stretch" launches with "intent" from the bluff top where I had been observing him for a few hours. I had been tracking Stretchs daily movements for 2 years by the time I captured this image. He became my full-time job during his winter visit (from October through April) . He passed away in 2007. He was an awesome subject to photo document. I miss him.
