After years of cobbling together design work with an underpowered computer and outdated, often unlicensed software, my employer finally invested in some professional equipment for me this week. This Mac Pro computer will be running Adobe's CS3 software.
The last few years I've had to be very resourceful to get the results I wanted from the tools I was using. I feel like I picked up a lot of useful skills that way but ultimately the projects took longer than they needed to and the end results were alwaya a little (or a lot) less polished than I thought they could or should be. I had very little formal training in this line of work and I still have so much to learn. But I feel like I know enough to be dangerous now and I'm anxious to see the work I can produce with some precision instruments in my hands.

Snowy Egret (Egretta thula) at Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, Huntington Beach California USA
oops, I forgot this set from our recent family holiday in Southern California, our 13th early morning out exploring our favourite, or favorite, reserves in the SoCal region.
Ru-oh. What opens Wordperfect files from 1995 (on a Mac Pro, running Leopard)?

Answer: AbiWord 2.45. Whoo hooo!
Wallhausen, Germany, May 2011
There wasn't enough light to stay at ISO200 and still keep the shutter at 1/1000s so I had to bump ISO to 3200. D700 really showed its prowess in these conditions. In the end everyone was happy - the rider, the jumping machine, the trainer, and the photographer.

Yay! I made it through the whole 365 project! My 365 photo set looms in a pair of browser windows in the background.

A brief trip back into this great ancient woodland, after being advised of the Dog Stinkhorn from two very kind and helpful friends, Thanks Natasha and Andrew, third times a charm ;-)
The good folks at Apple India recently sent us a mighty beast from Apple's Product Line-Up - The 8-core Mac Pro.
Here's a look at the beast
Geastrum britannicum
Midhurst, West Sussex England
This is the 3rd season this new British species has been found in Sussex. Dawn and I found the first ever in the county in 2014 and after finding it again in 2015 we reported it to the SxBRC and to the Sussex County Recorder for Fungi. With his help and the taking of samples, it was confirmed by Kew in May 2015 as the new British species and this year it has appeared again in large numbers at this site.

Hybrid Bee x Fly Orchid (Ophrys x pietzschii) (Ophrys apifera x Ophrys insectifera) in Somerset England
Gotta redo it because the camera moved when I was trying to get the shots (as you can see from the notes)
The holy grail of Apple products, and it'll be all mine in just under 2 weeks when it ships.
Mac Pro 2 x 2.66Ghz, 3GB RAM, 250GB + 500GB HDD, BT + AE. 30" Apple Cinema Display.

Bunny and I were mucking around and decided to check out what the most asssspensiffff possible configuration for the new mac pro was. We were quite tickled at the final amount - really wasn't as much as I'd guessed it was going to be.
Ah well. All this imaginary money. Going to crazy computers like that (half the things I added on to my imaginary mac pro I have no idea what to do with) and to my equally imaginary incredible range of lenses.
