So I manage to convince dimes to join in on Hogwarts: Your Story but she's fairly new to SL so after creating her character, I offered to help her with her avatar.
Meet Laenan Kite <3 A dork that will one day excel in Ancient Runes -- his pet rock collection is fairly intense. I love him so much and he's just the funnest bio to read ever!
There seems to be a growing population of abandoned boats on Loch Eck ... this is the 3rd one that I have found. The area of the loch can be very wild at times with whirlwinds overturning caravans not unknown, felled groups of trees a common sight and even waterspouts dancing on the water seen on occassion. I've almost fallen foul of one of those freak winds myself (youtu.be/2C8U2zrJy-c). So, given all that, it is not unreasonable to expect the occasional rowing boat to break free :)
Ms Sinasac manages communications, website updates and customer service at the Canopy Family lodges. She also leads field trips at the Canopy Tower.
All the Canopy guides are great, Jenn brings a particular breadth of natural history knowledge to the job. It was a real privilege for us to follow her through the forest and learn about everything from birds to bats to butterflies, as well as broader ecosystem and conservation issues.
This image was secured at a considerable distance with a big telephoto lens in the fog and mist at Cerro Azul in the highlands above Panama City. Given the distance, the subject/ photographer interchange sort of went like this:
Move a bit to the right.
WHAT?
MOVE A BIT TO THE RIGHT!
WHAT?
TO THE RIGHT. MOVE TO THE RIGHT!
I CAN'T HEAR YOU!
etc., etc.
Managed to get a few keepers from tonight's session. I am hoping to get my hands on a new drip tray this week as the one I am using is tiny!

I managed some time ago to photo the blue float that is tied to a front porch.
This morning I managed to get the gold coloured one.
Not as easy as the fence is quite high and was stopping me from getting a better angle.

Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
managed to get out while it was sunny between the rain and found this ringlet flying among the grasses, so day 183 of my 385 and i'm half way there
I managed to dry my lens off on my wet Quinault Rain Forest hike just long enough to get a few shots off the trail bridge over the river. Even though photography was difficult, it really was pretty up there...
Another day of winter hibernation for me here - it's nice and sunny but 37 degrees at 3 PM.... I see NOAA issued their three-month U.S. Spring Outlook, stating that odds favor above-average temperatures across much of the continental United States, including the drought-stricken area of the Great Plains where I live. NOAA and the groundhog seem to be consuming the same mind altering substances this year...
Jewel manages to look as fresh and pretty as a daisy while toiling away at gardening chores. What does your gardener look like?

yes, he managed to swallow it... took some doing and his neck looked very uncomfortable as the fish worked its way down
A wee composite shot of the members of Bone Island, a Glasgow-based rock group.
I'm particularly pleased with this shot as I only had about 5 minutes to set it up and execute it as the next band were waiting outside the door to use the studio :)

Stoke wood is a managed nature reserve that sits directly behind Cherwell Valley Services at junction 10 of the M40 motorway between London and Birmingham in the British midlands.
Well known locally, it's our nearest piece of woodland, and we visit at all times of the year. In springtime there are bluebells, wood anenomies, buds and new groth everywhere. In the autumn, like this, the floor is carpeted with beech leaves.

Flicker Fighters
It had been six months since Ben and his Mum had moved to Advent City. It was a big transition in both their lives moving from the Scottish countryside and into the big city. However, with his Mum being CEO of ‘Imagine’ he wasn’t surprised to hear she wanted to manage the company in person. Six months later, and Ben had only made one friend who he really liked, Connie. She was in the same college class as him studying Biomedical Sciences and she was also new to the city. They didn’t really have much in common other than that but, they both had the same personality and enjoyed one another’s company. They could talk about anything and always had a good laugh. Ben contemplated asking her out but he didn’t want to ruin such a good friendship and break the bond that they had, should anything happen. She was a total nerd for mech suits and it just so happened that the new branch opening in ‘Imagine’ was developing some. It was supposed to be kept a secret until their grand unveiling later in the year, but Ben knew Connie wasn’t exactly going to go around telling everyone. Therefore, he arranged to surprise her and set her up for a tour of his Mum’s company. She was more than excited for the day, and Ben struggled not to reveal the surprise. He planned to keep it for the end of the tour and then lead her through the storage facility, where the armoured suits are kept. Ben saw the suits and their designs, half of them were all ready to be showcased. However, his Mum planned to reveal them as a complete set on display once the others had been built. Ben was far too excited to show her the suits, so much so he was going to make her suspect something if he kept smiling like a lunatic.
Ben makes his way through the bustling crowd and is about to check his phone and ask where she is. She was supposed to be outside the main entrance. Although with the way he’s getting bumped about by the city crowd, he figures she got overwhelmed and went inside. She was probably chilling on her phone in a corner, the same thing he’d be doing to avoid the large crowds. He enters the building and there she is, exactly where he thought she’d be. As if she knows he’s watching, she looks up from her phone and smiles waving. They walk towards one another as she slips her phone back into her pocket.
Ben: “You ready for the best tour of your life?”
Connie: “Yeah, I got my camera ready like Peter Parker.”
Ben: “Well I can assure you there’s no radioactive spiders here. I asked my Mum to get some, but apparently it’s a ‘safety hazard’.”
The two shares a laugh and Ben begins to lead her through the tourist exhibits based on all of the new technology. Ben had heard about most of it when talking business with his Mum. Some of the projects were just frivolous crazy things for rich people with far too much money to purchase. Such as nanotechnology paint that allows you to decorate your room with micro robots. They can be remotely controlled to change colour, pattern, and even display images from the internet. Which meant you could paint a wall with these devices and have something different everyday. Then there were more useful pieces of technology for medicinal purposes. The kind of technology which would allow the replication of synthetic tissue and allow it to be ‘filled’ with a false but functional nervous system. It sounded like something from a Sci-Fi show. But that’s why the company was called, Imagine, they create technology that could only have been plucked from wildest of imaginations. Connie was overjoyed as Ben showed her some of the exhibits and the more excited she got the more he felt himself hurrying to show her the grand finale - the mech suits in storage.
Ben: “Come on, I got something cool to show you in the back. My Mum said as long as you keep it a secret and don’t take any pictures it’s okay.”
Connie: “Ooh, something top secret?”
Ben: “For the next year or so, yeah. Now come on, you’re going to love it.”
Ben leads her away from a bustling exhibit, he had to stop himself from pulling her to hurry. He knew she was going to love seeing these suits, she loved that sort of thing. She was a nerd just like him when it came to this stuff. As they are making their way through the crowd Ben turns, beaming a smile. However, someone in the building screams from just down the corridor. The overlapping conversation of the crowds around them fall silent. The scream echoes up the corridor, soon followed by other terrified shrieks. A large crashing sound causes a tremor to quake throughout the exhibit. People begin to murmur amongst themselves and others start to make their way to the exits.
Connie: “What the hell was that?”
Ben: “Um, I’m not sure. We should probably-“
An automated female voice blares from the speakers in the roof, “Emergency! Emergency! Everyone please evacuate the building in a calm and orderly fashion.”
Everyone begins pushing and shoving as they stampede towards the exits. Connie gets shoved to the ground by a larger man who doesn’t bother to look her way as she cries out. Ben yells in protest and struggles to make his way through the sea of panicked people to get to her. He loses sight of her as she’s engulfed by the mob. He knew she was on the floor, probably getting trampled on by all these people. They were scared but so was she, she was probably hurt as well. It was like the videos he had witnessed on Youtube of people going nuts over deals on Black Friday. Doing anything they can to be the first ones in the door - or in this case, out of the door. Eventually, the numbers of the crowd thin out and he sees Connie curled up in a ball on the floor, in a foetal position. Ben rushes towards her as the automated voice continues to repeat the order to evacuate. He kneels beside her and places his hand on her shoulder, she is trembling.
Ben: “Connie, we gotta get out of here.”
She doesn’t say anything and uncurls herself hesitantly. Ben’s heart sinks as he sees boot imprints on her hands and broken finger nails from being trampled on. Her cheek is red and swollen and her lip is busted in the centre. He forces a reassuring smile and lifts her to her feet pulling her towards the exit. Only to feel the building shudder with another tremor. Debris leaks from the ceiling and Ben looks up seeing a crack tear it’s way through the ceiling. His eyes widen and he continues to haul Connie to the exit. The building shakes one last time and the fracture in the ceiling pries apart. Chunks of rubble and debris rain down in front of him crashing against the ground, just inches away from them and blocking the exit. Ben begins to panic but remembers the emergency exit down the corridor. He turns and holds up Connie as she stumbles alongside him. As they make their way down to the corridor he hears something. At first he thinks it’s another tremor but no, it’s more structured with its sound - coordinated. They were footsteps. Loud, thundering footsteps from just one set of feet. Whoever it was, they were big or wearing steel boots and they were heading right for them.
Ben: “Something tells me that isn’t someone coming to help.”
Managed to drop my phone, containing a few pictures. Thought I would upload what was on it before it got replaced, nothing to set anyones trousers alight. This Escort is probably the best spot I had on there.
managed to catch a few trains at False Summit before the wind kicked up and ruined the reflecting pond
Managed to get a timed slot to visit Bodiam which currently admits limited numbers - so a chance to get a shot empty of people.
Managed a single scan of the solar disk during a break in the clouds using my 72ED,Herschel wedge with Sol'Ex SHG, QHY5III 178M and 7nm Ha filter attached to nose of the Sol'Ex. 16x sidereal speed used on CEM60 to force the slit across the Sun whilst recording a 16 bit SER file in Sharpcap. Being a single scan no processing except rotation and flipping to correct orientation and resizing of image.
luckily i managed to get to the 80cm distance from this posing herring gull, which is required of the lc-a's zone focus. and black and white film photography seems to go nicely with the gloomy, murky days of the uk's winter..

Photographed many times and many ways. I could only manage a snap shot in the middle of the day but it was interesting to hear of the controversy and varied opinions at the time these were sculptured and erected.
From 2014, a newspaper article ......"unveiled the latest misbegotten "masterpiece" of public art. It is big. It is bold. And it is rotten.
Glasgow's Andy Scott is the artist responsible for the Kelpies, a sculpture of colossal Clydesdale horse heads that tower 30 metres over Helix Park, Falkirk, near the M9 motorway. What for? For "regeneration", of course. It is claimed the £5m, 300-tonne sculptures will bring in £1.5m a year through guided tours – providing enough people mistake them for a worthwhile work of art.
Leonardo da Vinci once planned to build a colossal bronze horse, but he put imagination and vision into it. He never finished the work, and yet his exquisitely illustrated notes for this unrealised dream statue stimulate the mind. The Kelpies are merely banal and obvious.
It is unfair to compare any artist with Leonardo, but imposing your work on the landscape on this scale suggests you may be lacking in modesty. Scott's horses are neither well observed nor powerfully imagined – they are simply stale equine symbols. Without the precision and originality of Leonardo's obsessive studies of the anatomy and movement of the horse, or similar depictions of equine truth by the likes of Degas or the 18th-century artist George Stubbs, what's the point of portraying horses? The Kelpies is just a kitsch exercise in art "for the people", carefully stripped of difficulty, controversy and meaning..."
managed a few hours out yesterday with some help from a mate . mixed bag of shots but good to be out doing what I love . not yet back to full strength so some a bit shaky
Managed to get away to the Lake District. Missed the best weather. However, a lovely time was still had by all (apart from the odd bog and getting annoyed with people who can't understand the concept of walking in single file, or on the correct side of the road when there is no pavement and who steadfastly and rudely refuse to acknowledge you when you have clearly stopped and moved to the side to allow them to pass while keeping a safe distance - which I think we were the only people doing in the entire Lake District (this is why I don't leave the house!!!).
Having a quiet day today, but managed to get into the garden, we've been out there most of the day. Slightly cooler than it has been (thankfully) but still super to be making the most of the gorgeous weather.
Noticed this Trefoil coming up in the lawn, first one we've had and after the gardeners came last week the only bit of colour out there.
Much more fun viewed large.

Thank you for your favourites. :O)
Managed to get up to Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park before we left Moab. We left the next day and the skies were cloudy so timing is everything! There were a LOT of people up there for the sunrise. I was lucky to find a spot where I could grab "people free" images of the sunrise.
Another lacklustre day.
Managed an hour and a half or so clearing the brambles from the stream bank.
This is a sleeper bridge between our garden and the field where I kept my horse when he was alive. Sorely neglected, I don't think I'd risk taking 1/2 ton of horse over there now!
We will try and repair a smaller version of this one day...
Treasure Hunt 17: Bridge over (troubled) Water, or Troubled Bridge over Water as I call it!
I may replace this if I get to see a more exciting bridge...
What time's the 54 due?? Yes....
361 was due out at 0929 on the short working 54B to QMC, 351 behind was the 0944 full 54 to Arnold, and 354 was covering for a breakdown on the 0914 trip to Arnold which still managed to arrive and depart on time, overtaking both buses in the bay and heading straight back out, all three snapped together at Hartness Road Terminus in Clifton.
Managed to grab an hour for myself to make some images. Been a good few weeks where I've had time and it wasn't cold, wet and grey. Popped into town for a quick stroll around the waterfront and shopping streets from some multi exposure fun

I managed to snap this during a rare lull in automotive traffic on the road... normally there's a constant stream of cars whizzing by making things somewhat less serene than they appear here.
Stay visible!
Manage to catch exactly the effect I was looking for with this one with a textbook image of a conversion being kicked.
I managed to capture two airliners flying at different altitudes at the same time from my home in Olathe, looking to the southwest.
In the foreground - an American Airlines Boeing 737-823 (Flight 2487 from Kansas City to Dallas/Fort Worth) flying over southwestern Johnson County, at a cruising altitude of about 15,000 feet and a ground speed of 370 knots (flying a track of 195°).
In the background - a Delta Air Lines Airbus A330-223 (Flight 405 from Salt Lake City to Atlanta) flying over southwestern Johnson County, at a cruising altitude of about 41,000 feet and a ground speed of 559 knots (flying a track of 109°). Aircraft Registration: N856NW

My piece for the Phat Quarter Book Swap. This is for Salvaged Mutiny.
Stitched on 25ct mushroom colored fabric. It has a little over 1700 stitches. I used this lowercase alphabet
Managed to snatch a couple of hours or so this morning..............
The esplanade here runs atop a sea wall, the original of which was constructed in the mid 19th Century by Joseph Bazalgette who was best known for the London sewers and The Embankment. The bays along this stretch of coast were all guarded by a chesil bank, like the one at Portland but not so large. Bazalgette used the old chesil bank as the fouindation for his sea wall and later generations have added additional layers so the edifice no longer has it's original rather splendid Victorian look.
Finally managed a half decent shot of my resident female Bullfinch, still picking at the buds on my neighbour's tree

Managed to catch the #RSPB gardens in an early morning mist . The pergola takes on a strange aspect .
managed to get over to donna nook yesterday to see my wonderful little friends!
this is dedicated to the wonderful work done by the lincolnshire wildlife trust and all the wardens and volunteers - the reserve looks brilliant with all the new fences following the devastating surge last year
and although iv still had a few reports of ‘naughty photographers’ – there seems to be fewer this year – please can everyone keep up the vigilance if they see people posting shots from the restricted areas!
Managed to get a couple of shots of this grass snake as it crossed the track. Moved quickly and disappeared into the long grass.
Managed to catch her on a nice day in Victoria. At Ogden Point Terminal. A good view of her after working decks. Built for Orange Marine in 2002, she was designed to lay and repair submarine fibre optic systems. She can stay at sea for two months and is able to lay up to 8,000 km of cable without interruption. She really is a magnificent vessel.

Managed to capture this one doing the classic upside down pollen capture trick. I was having a better day today getting them in focus. The extra sunlight was a big help.

I managed to get Graham to allow me to take a photo of him for his Birthday. Not an easy task, as he hates having his photo taken almost more than I do.
But as I had gone completely blank on what else I could take he eventually said yes. Good thing as even Izzy and Rufus had decided it was a no photo day.
That's fruit juice he's drinking not a glass of rosé and he's got an appointment at the barber's tomorrow for a good hair cut and beard trim!
Happy Birthday Darling, with love from Izzy, Rufus and me. xx
Note: Graham says thank you for all your Birthday wishes.
