Sally is presently making Roman Blinds with cloud material for our daughter's nursery (her baby due today...)
If there are those who have not yet made Roman Blinds, Sally's advice - Do Not Start!
With my evening plans of chasing the Jail south to Leslie killed off by the crew telling me they were going north to Lansing. I left Mason for Grand Ledge instead to light up train L304 heading west to Lake O. When I arrived I made quick work of setting my flashes but that was very quickly put on a dead crawl as I heard something walking through the Tall Grass. With the first lights set i went to figure out what the hell was following me around. Well as I neared the moving grass I saw a dark cute Little cat but it was no cat it was a fucking cute little skunk. Him and I talked for a few minutes and made an agreement we would not interrupt each other. Me foaming him looking for tasty bugs, as I set the lights I saw him several more times and he never gave me any fear or issues. As the crew worked the west end of Ensel they would trip the circuit and the signal popping up to clear.. after the 5th time of this and me grabbing the camera I gave up and sat in my car until I could finally hear the far off distant humm of 645's. A pair of 40-2's and a small train cruise through Grand Ledge passing the former C&O search light.

In rural and also in semi-urban India, it is a tradition to raise and maintain sheep, goats, buffaloes, cows, camels and smaller animals such as ducks, hens and pigs. In some way or the other, these provide their owners with a source of income. And in the process a bond is formed between the animals and those who raise, feed and care for them.
Many thanks for your faves and comments.
On a foggy morning at the river which is near my father's house. This boat, which is to shoot the rapids, is on its way to the place where many tourists are waiting to go on board.

Nicely painted Green Bay & Western RS27 316 switches the west end of Norwood Yard in Green Bay making up train #1 in June 1978.
High tide time at Porty, waves rolling into the wooden groynes which protect the sands of the beach against erosion.

In Thailand stray dogs are everywhere and are known as Soi dogs (alley dogs). They are fed but left to roam around and although they mostly keep away from humans they can be a nuisance especially if you are cycling as they like the thrill of the chase.
Up here on Monkey Hill just outside Phuket Town they have an uneasy relationship with the macaques that also live there. We saw soi dogs being chased away by the monkeys, but we also saw plenty of tender moments like this where the soi dogs were groomed by the monkeys.
...of bad conditions. Having only one morning a week to get out with my camera can be very frustrating, especially as I am at the mercy of the weather. Once again this week there was some fantastic conditions though the week while I was at work, then more flat grey skies on my day off. This is the 3rd week in a row now so I am hoping for some better conditions before autumn is over, especially now the colours are really starting to change. This is a crop from a wider pano that I shot at Thirlmere yesterday morning where water levels are still very low.
It's always interesting to interpret actions - is she making a point, counting off the flavours in their snack, or something else. Humans are fascinating
Onemana Beach on the Coromandel.
This was the best from a shoot that didn't really go to plan. 5 minutes in a I got caught with a slightly bigger wave than I expect. It left some water on the lens which I thought I had removed until I loaded the shots into lightroom.
I should have been better prepared but guess it's all part of the learning curve right?
Let me know what you think. All feedback is greatly appreciated.

There was some moisture in the air at Southport, so when the big guns of the RAF Typhoon Display Team came on there was plenty of spluff generated. They were displaying a standard RAF Typhoon rather than the display jet that is black with the union flag painted all over it.
SY 1225 assembles rakes of wagons into her train for mine #3.
When runing backwards, they seem to use a flagman to stand on the back of the tender to read any signals from the lucky sod with flags standing out in the cold wind at the back of the train.

“When we treat children's play as seriously as it deserves, we are helping them feel the joy that's to be found in the creative spirit. We're helping ourselves stay in touch with that spirit, too. It's the things we play with and the people who help us play that make a great difference in our lives.”
