The recent snow and rain as seen the river Erewash rise and flood the fields around where I live. These trees somehow manage to cling onto the banks.
Finally managed to get a decent shot of this now rare localish car, its was parked outside the Ace Cafe, still taxed and MOT'd too.
Managed to get out this morning before the snow disappears again. Stayed very local as wasn’t sure how good the roads were. The mist/fog was stuck on the higher ground, so I stayed relatively low and close to home. This was taken as I had just passed through a patch of fog, and spotted this little cluster of trees, with the sun just breaking through to give some diffused light. Liked the animal tracks leading toward the trees as well.
At Pwll Waun Cynon Nature Reserve in Mountain Ash.
1st time I've managed a decent shot on one of these beauties.
23rd April 2021 :
Managed to get out for a short walk just before lunchtime today. I didn't go far, but it was good to get out for a bit.
Saw this in the car park and decided on something different for today. You can see the whole thing here :

On impulse last night I decided to go hiking in the Lakes as the mountain forecast was a mixture of sun and snow. Alas there was plenty of snow but less than five minutes of sun. In fact more than enough snow to hide paths, but the cloud cover was the main problem as I spent ninety percent of the day immersed in it. Navigation was tough as well due to the clouds, the lack of paths for most of the day and the fact that everywhere looked the same. I managed to get lost a couple of times. This solo hike started off at the Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel, took in Pike O’ Blisco, the Crinkle Crags, Bowfell, Esk Pike and then a long return to the pub via Esk Hause.
Managing to avoid the mizzle, which threatened to end the night early. Mart and I fired off a few shots. I like this simple orange background lighting and a cooler light used in the Backlight Scanner used through the archway.

Whilst the amount of rain in Scotland can be tiresome at times, it always makes for great river and waterfall photos :)
managed to take a short break of around 30 minutes to take some photos. Suddenly it started to rain... but I was happy despite everything.

Managed to capture this Spotted Pardalote about to land on a branch. Very overcast day but relatively low shutter speed as the bird slowed for landing allowed a sharp bird but with nicely blurred wings.
I managed to capture this Fox just at the moment he stuck his tongue out though I think he was licking his lips. Foxes are found throughout Britain and Ireland. In fact they are found pretty much throughout the Northern Hemisphere. British Foxes were once thought to be a different subspecies (crucigera) with smaller, more widely separated teeth. But further work has shown that dentition varies and it is highly doubtful whether British Foxes are sufficiently different to merit being called a subspecies. Though Foxes from even warmer parts of Europe seem to develop longer coats compared with British Foxes. They are highly adaptable and can occur in many different habitats feeding on a wide variety of food especially rabbits, voles, birds, beetles, worms and fruit. Foxes living in urban areas tend to scavenge for food scraps just as they do for carrion in rural areas. But they will also take live food in urban situations. The one visiting my garden is partial to peanuts.
Foxes mate in the depths of winter when the Vixen can be heard making that familiar screaming bark. Gestation is just over 50 days and the young are fully weaned at about 10 weeks. The male usually helps provision the young with food. The cubs usually associate with their mother until autumn, when they disperse to find territories of their own.
🇳🇱 Na bijna 60 jaar trouwe dienst is het moment daar: de Klassiekjes van de NMBS gaan definitief uit dienst. Vandaag, 14 december, wordt een belangrijke epoche in de geschiedenis van de Belgische spoorwegen afgesloten met een afscheidsrit, eentje waar ik helaas niet bij kan zijn. MS66 660 zal het enige stel zijn dat behouden blijft.
Bon, op 19 september heb ik gelukkig nog MS66 663 kunnen vereeuwigen op station Manage, die we hier als S62 E4262 naar Luttre zien vertrekken. Eigenlijk had ik een ander stekje in gedachten, maar door een recent geplaatst hekje was dat helaas niet mogelijk.
🇬🇧 After nearly 60 years of loyal service, the time has come: the NMBS/SNCB "Klassiekjes" are being retired for good. Today, December 14, marks the end of an important era in the history of Belgian railways, with a farewell run that I, unfortunately, cannot attend. MS66 660 will be the only unit preserved.
Back on 19 September I was fortunate enough to capture MS66 663 at Manage station, seen here departing working S62 E4262 to Luttre. I originally had a different spot in mind, but a recently installed fence made that impossible.
🇩🇪 Nach fast 60 Jahren treuem Dienst ist der Moment gekommen: Die „Klassiekjes“ der NMBS/SNCB gehen endgültig außer Dienst. Heute, am 14. Dezember, endet eine wichtige Epoche in der Geschichte der belgischen Eisenbahnen mit einer Abschiedsfahrt, an der ich leider nicht teilnehmen kann. Der MS66 660 wird die einzige Einheit sein, die erhalten bleibt.
Am 19. September hatte ich glücklicherweise noch die Gelegenheit den MS66 663 am Bahnhof Manage zu verewigen, hier zu sehen als S62 E4262 auf dem Weg nach Luttre. Eigentlich hatte ich einen anderen Fotostelle im Sinn, aber ein kürzlich errichteter Zaun machte das leider unmöglich.
Managed to capture the Male Orange Tip Butterfly today after seeing a few of them about the last week

She managed the pearls and the scarf, but Muriel thought she might need help clipping on the earrings. Personally, I'm just relieved she didn't find the red lipstick. :))
I bought these earrings for next to nothing in a local shop last year to use as a prop, but this is the first time they've seen the light of day. I was happy to see the theme this week!
For this week's Smile on Saturday! group theme, Earrings.

I somehow managed to delete this photo by mistake this morning and as I like it, have put it back on so back to zero everything again. Never mind I'll be more careful next time.
This is the RSPB woods at Tunbridge Wells Kent, UK late in the evening. It is populated with Deer, Konik horses and goats not forgetting the foxes, rabbits and lots of birds.
A beautiful place for a long or short walk.
Photo taken with a Helios lens,
I managed to persuade my grandson to come for a short walk after dinner but, he was quite alarmed when I asked two young ladies if they mind me taking a photo of their drinks.
The next day the weather was better and after a good breakfast at the "Hotel Steel" we got to work fresh. We managed to get at least one good picture on the south side of the complex, but it is clear that we wanted more. After a double check by the Ochrona, we positioned ourselves near the oxygen station and waited there in the din of the huge facilities. Two Qarmet locomotives were active at the same time and posed for us: TEM2UM-907 was shunting scrap for the steel converter, while TEM1-1697 was moving into the plant. Under the bridge, i.e. below us, the Ochrona was active and checking the fence. We noticed very clearly that we were not welcome and went in search of another place.

Managed to photograph a green woodpecker @ Dunham Massey for the first time this morning. Quite a way off but just pleased to see one. Heard quite a few yaffling too and saw a couple in flight. Just need to get nearer next time!
Tadaaa! Three OOTDs I managed to create and put them in 1 picture. I kinda want to portray the "Gamer, Influencer & Boho Chic" Style :D So what Style do you prefer?

This is the uncropped version of my Mischief Managed photo for Eclipse.
I managed to get this photo after I tripped in Bodie last Saturday, but it was clear that I had injured my wrist, so I put the camera and tripod in the car and focused on setting up shots and lighting subjects for the rest of the night session.
Having tried this shot earlier in the year, but only managing to bag a DMU, I returned hoping to snap the lunchtime cement and with fingers crossed the sun would play ball.
As luck would have it it did and seen glinting in the winter sunlight Freightliner Shed 66620 accelerates away from Chinley East Junction on the climb to Cowburn Tunnel with the 11.49 Tunstead - West Thurrock (6L89).
In the near foreground is Malcoff Farm, and the hill in shadow about 3 miles distant is Eccles Pike rising to about 360m - itself not a bad vantage point for trains along the Goyt Valley.

With the sanders working, 56091 restarts 6M43 from a signal check at Rattenclough Cottage Crossing on the climb to Copy Pit. 2N90 was running late in the section ahead and I imagine the driver was cursing the red aspect on the climb.
I wasn't mind, it gave enough time for the sun to climb above a bit of thin cloud. To be fair, the grid immediately found its feet and continued the climb at walking pace.
Managed to include my trusty 20 year old Defender 110 in the frame and write off a pair of Adidas Simba trainers in the morning dew having traipsed across the fields looking for the best shot, when I could have just walked along the pavement from where I parked my Landy! Perils of the hobby.
Glad to get this rare hire in by Colas of the DCR 56, the train is 6M43, 02.43 Haverton Hill to Preston Docks, itself a relatively new flow, taking over from the flow from Lindsey.
WELL i went for a walk around around the local farm where you can usually see a mixture of animals, signs on the gates saying closed to protect the local fowls from Avion flue, if that's the case why would the still be filling the bird feeders ? anyway managed to get a decent shot of a long tailed Tit.

Ferdinand Effinger, Sr., a German immigrant, founded the family brewing business in Baraboo, Sauk County, Wisconsin in 1885. One of about 300 small breweries in Wisconsin when founded in the late nineteenth century, the Effinger Brewing Company was one of only 19 small breweries in the state in 1966, when the firm ceased brewing due to declining sales.
The original brewery complex, erected in 1885, housed Effinger's family and a saloon in addition to beer-making facilities. Eleven years later, Effinger was one of the earliest brewers in the state to begin producing bottled beer.
In 1911 Effinger reorganized the firm as a corporation owned by family members. In 1913-1914 the brewery was remodeled and expanded, providing space for new cellars, keg washrooms, and a mechanical refrigeration system.
With the advent of Prohibition in 1920, the company began producing root beer and near-beer. In 1921 the firm successfully converted to ice cream making and sales. Ten years later, the firm sold its ice cream business to the Borden Company and began reconverting the plant for beer production, which began in 1933. The firm continued its expansion program through 1948 when a new brewery building was completed and new bottling equipment was installed.
Throughout its 81-year existence, the Effinger Brewing Company remained a family-owned and managed business. The sons and grandsons of the founder served as corporate officers and as managers of the brewery. After the death of the founder in 1945, Ferdinand Effinger, Jr., became the firm's president and brewmaster, positions he occupied until the firm went out of business. Frederick J. Effinger, a grandson of the founder, served as secretary-treasurer and director (plant manager) from 1945 to 1966.
Managed to get out this morning and pay the beach a visit - this time it was Newcastle Beach, NSW; Australia.
Here I've used the rusty posts that surround what's known locally as The Canoe (or World) Pool a children's saltwater pool that is located beside the Newcastle Ocean Baths.
The sun was pretty high in the sky so it was necessary for me to use my Lee Big Stopper and Lee .9 Hard Grad filters to create this long exposure image.
Thanks again for any comments, views or favorites - hope you liked it!
Hope too that you have a wonderful week!!!
I managed to get out to the Pond [Lake] last week. It was a very dull day, but made a welcome change to the rain and high winds we've been getting lately.
There were plenty of ducks, gulls and geese around plus a pair of swans and this pair of white doves.
I've never seen any white doves over there before, so this was a nice surprise and they stayed put for me too.
When I got back home I decided to look doves up on line as I know nothing about them. Most results seemed a bit disparaging about them and called them pigeons. Well, I suppose they are of the pigeon family but to me they are so much more distinctive.
Anyway - I know pigeons can be seen as a nuisance, but I read somewhere that people's perception of them changes for the better when they find out how useful and stoic homing pigeons were during the war and they were even awarded medals - so there!
