Someone looped this wire back at a break in the fence. To the right of the fence post is an animal trail frequented by deer, feral cats and occasional runaway chickens.
March batt of the month from Steph (Loop) It's just incredible!!!

I'm SOOOOO excited to see what next month brings!!
Good day at the Mach Loop. Not much in the way of aircraft but the weather was glorious! These were taken on Cad East but next time I'll be on Cad West even tho the light is more challenging.
So this is apparently what happens when I decide to start knitting perfectly good (awesome, actually) yarn in the middle of the night -- I end up with something that looks like marshmallow peeps and dead animals smooshed together. I think I should just finish knitting a rectangle, sew the ends together, wrap it around my neck a couple of times, and call it the roadkill cowl. The more I say it, the more I like it. Roadkill cowl.
Think this is an F15 C Eagle from USAF Grim Reaper Sqdn at Lakenheath going through the Mach Loop. We were looking down from 1,350 feet if my app was correct, onto the top of some planes as their roared thro'.
The valleys from Dolgellau down to Machynlleth make up a loop of 40 miles distance where the low level high speed jet training takes place.
{The name "Mach Loop" is not derived from the air speed but from the local abbreviation of the town Machynlleth at the base of the loop incidentally.}
"US airmen have spent more than two weeks painting modern F-15 jets to look like their World War Two counterparts.
The 48th Fighter Wing, based at RAF Lakenheath, has unveiled the first of three "heritage" aircraft to mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day in June.
American crews at the base in Suffolk painted the fighter jet to look like a P-47 Thunderbolt, with chequered nose, stripes and several national insignias.
Col Will Marshall said it paid tribute to "the 48th Fighter Wing legacy".
The commemorative work - which also saw a Statue of Liberty painted on the F-15's tail - took just over 640 hours and used £11,500-worth of paint." Quote from BBC website

On one of the horseshoe curves on the Loops of the Clinchfield, the Marion local is returning northbound on March 30, 1972. This is just RR south of the grade crossing at Camp Two.
A nice lil single spun up from a sample of "Ribbon Dance". I think this will make a fantastic headband!

CP nos.8953 & 9542 bring a westbound coal train around the curve and on to the start of the Notch Hill loop in the Shuswap.
Been into the scrap box looking for 'something interesting' Came across this piece of braid that I then looped and laid on the desk-top.
What I really wanted to do was to try out my latest vintage lens. And this is a monster - very much a case of the lens holding the camera not vice-versa. Of course, its minimum focusing distance is just over 8 feet making it very unsuitable for indoor use. However, attachig all my extension tubes got me to about 3 feet from the piece of braid, and the section photographed is just under 3 inches of it.
Focus is something of a nightmare because my tripod is not stable enough and there is a lot of shake - very much a case of slowly and carefully does it, and delayed-release. Depth of field is pretty thin even at the aperture of f8 I used for this photograph.
Was it worth the bother?
Yes - because it was fun.
Yes - because its a challenge.
Yes - because I've learnt something about an obscure Russian lens.
No - because I could get a technically better result using a more standard lens.

This is actually known as the "Yurikamome Loop" as there is a train line called Yurikamome that runs on this loop and over the bridge.
In order to get this angle, I had to walk along a slanted path less than a meter wide. On one side of the path, a 4 meter wall. On the other side, the murky waters of Tokyo Bay. One false step, and into the water I go!
Lens: Tamron 15-30mm F2.8
***Shutter speed***
The shutter time was recorded as 30 seconds, but that's only because I masked in an underexposed photo to retain detail in the bridge which was blown out in the long exposure. So this photo is actually a 220 second exposure, with only the two towers of the bridge at 30 seconds.
The elevated Loop railway structure through and around the Loop area in Chicago. Amazing steel work and pillars supporting the public transport system built above the roads and traffic.

A little family playtime down at the Grand Canyon, Arizona.
Physics quiz: If the car is let go from here at the edge of the south rim will it make it around the first loop? Neglect friction and wind resistance and assume the north and south rim are both at the same elevation.
We currently have a Western Hemlock Looper (Lambdina fiscellaria) infestation in my town. When you go out to water the shrubs, bazillions of moths come flying out. They are everywhere!
Another from a weekend of photography with Martin Turner, Daniel Borg and Janet Miles.
A big thanks to Dan for remembering how to get to this place as I never would have found it. Certainly a very impressive staircase, which works really well with the purple and yellow contrasts. And in case you were wondering, this was taken with a fish-eye lens of course.
Apologies to everyone for the lack of comments recently, life has never been so busy! Will catch up as soon as I can.
