Managed a half hour slot to take some photos of the Forth & Clyde canal near a village called Allandale. Beautiful clear reflections today.

I managed to persuade my Wife that it would be a good idea to go to the beach for the day as we have not had a holiday so far this year.

I am not sure that she realized i meant starting on the beach at 4.30:-)

We did have a splendid sunrise followed by coffee on the beach and eggs benedict at a very nice little cafe near by. We then sat and watched Porthcawl start to wake up.

On the down side, she got a better beach shot than me, She has a smug look on her face.

Managed to grab a quick shot before if flitted off never seem to stay still long. Lovely little birds can be quite confiding so when one strikes A pose for the camera I grab it !!

Managed a quick 'click' before it went away?

Managed a bit of Art Deco style with my crystal ball today using the sun through the curtains. Reminds me of the great travel posters of the '20's and '30's.

A Hogwarts Mischief Managed Christmas entry!

Managed to cram this into a hectic weekend celebrating Life, Love and Death.

Blue Hour shot of the lights of Kilmun caught in a cloud inversion.

Managed to catch the sunset just in time!!

Managed to find this water feature in the middle of the woods. The map showed it as a mini loch. Nice Autumnal colours. Tripod legs were sinking in the wet ground even although it looked dry.

I managed to take a quick walk on the golf course today while it was still sunny. Later it clouded up and started to rain. I don't play golf and have no intention to ever do it but I like the golf course because I think it's beautiful. The sign basically says that the place is private property (as it belongs to the local golf club) but that you are allowed to use the public paths which lead across the golf couse, as long as you don't step on the fairway and keep your dog on lead. It also says that if you cross the golf course you do it at your own risk, which means that if you are hit by a golf ball it's your own fault and not theirs. :)

managed to get out in the garden to get some photos of the bluebells .... :)

Just about managed to get a couple of frames after I don't know how many attempts of these quick moving little birds, nice to see one of Britains smallest birds in numbers and at a local nature reserve too.

People of Ventspils have managed to build a hill, which they named after the long-time mayor of the city – “Lembergs’ Trilby”. The unique hill in the coastal lowlands of Western Latvia was built artificially from debris and discarded priming materials. At the moment it is 58 m high and the length of track is 240 m ,it have risen up every year.

In wintertime it pleases downhill skiers and snowboard fans who wants to enjoy their own special Snowboard Park and Cross-Country Skiing Track. It is real fun to ride down the Sledding Track for adults and childen and the Tube Track.

The operation of the hill is ensured by five ski lifts, five snow blowers and a snow tractor. The tracks are lit and during winter professional instructors will assist those who are not so sure about their skiing skills. Rental of skiing and snowboarding equipment is available at the foot of a hill.

Managed a few Butterfly shots recently in spite of the wind. Good to see even a few of the common species in this very poor year for them.

The most common butterfly I have seen this poor year. On my purple buddleia in my gdn

managed to get to the eagle spot with some autumn colors still in the background

still havent managed to get a satisfying close eagle but these autumn backgrounds will have to do for now

Managed to get a shot with it's head turned

...but perhaps that's why I managed a good close up.

Another image of a White-cheeked Honeyeater I managed to capture from a shoot a few days ago at Hunter wetlands Center (Shortland, NSW; Australia) with long time friend and fellow flickr tog Joe Micallef.

I thought this front on view of the bird shows off its impressive white moustache / mustache.

Hope you like it!

Best viewed Large on Black!!!

Thanks for any comments, views or favorites - always appreciated!!

Have a wonderful day and weekend folks!

Managed to photograph this tiny and elusive Wren, one of Britain's smallest birds.

Managed to get a lot closer at today's encounter.

Hope your weekend is all nice and pleasent!

SOOC and crop.

#3263 - 2016 Day 341: This section of shingle beach between Selsey and Bracklesham Bay was breached in 2013 as part of a managed realignment flood defence scheme. New defences created inland of the shingle bank and a new tidal channel have created a large area of saltwater marsh, now managed by the RSPB.

Only one problem for me. In plans afoot for a walk [...] , what was a 50m section of shingle is now a 12km detour to reach the other side ...

managed to remove the sign

I managed to get out Thursday afternoon and went up to Padley Gorge to see how the autumn colours are progressing I was also keen to try out a new lens that I've just got so it was a great opportunity to put it through it's paces.

It was pretty dull and overcast so ideal conditions to shoot Burbage brook and woods, the colours are looking lovely now and my new lens seems to work ok too.(2sec f6.3 @ 9mm 0.9 soft ND grad + polarising filters)

Managed to get above the clouds and from the miradouro was amazed to see this rainbow over the town.

Managed to get the last bit of the sun before it setting down for the day -Hangnaameedhoo, Maldives

Mischief Managed

Managed to catch some of these near Cadiz on some salt flats. It was a very lucky / excellent spot by my friend Maria. It was lovely to see them in the wild.

I managed to spot this family and snap their picture while they were checking me out. I initially thought it was just two bears, but if you look through the plants you can see another eye looking through a small hole, just below mom's face. The unique coloring is thanks to the Kolari Vision IR Chrome filter, which is meant to mimic the old Kodak Aerochrome filter. So what you're seeing is not Photoshop, but rather a modified camera. In any case, I love the fall look it creates!

Managed to get this one published in the local newspaper.

Managed to get out for a while today and took the opportunity to get a phone shot for one of the 125 themes.

Managed to get this picture of the sun setting over part of the Kalamazoo River during my son's soccer tournament this weekend.

Managed to get away from the desk for a quick snap in the woods during a foggy day!

Steve manages the rope at the top of the ridge whilst Rich is seen lower down. This ridge dosn't look that steep here, however it was pretty sharp and had significant drops to both sides.

In the distance Sgurr Dearg and the Inaccessable Pinnacle can be seen with the great lump of Sgurr Mhicchoinnich in the medium distance. This was the night where we eventually found enough flat rock to bivvy at 1.00pm in the morning.

This was taken the first night of Glacier boot camp with Aaron and Alan. When there are clear skies, shoot for the stars. Just hours before, it was all different; the sky was blanketed with clouds with a thunderstorm rolling through the mountains. However the thunderstorm unleashed its force so swiftly it departed the scene far too quickly. All we were left with was clear skies.

Surely the epic sunset we were hoping for was not going to happen but at least I could put my rented lens to use. I knew I wanted to frame the Milky Way with Mt. Reynolds in the background and hence I searched for an interesting foreground. Luckily, Logan Pass area has a plethora of compositions with various cascades, waterfalls, and wildflower patches. I ultimately settled on this particular shelf with a twin cascade flowing over it. Looking up I noticed the valley to the right of Mt. Reynolds. With Mt. Reynolds having so much prominence, I wanted to frame the Milky Way appearing from behind Mt. Reynolds with the core filling in the space in that valley.

One thing I was not quite used to in Montana was the extremely long days. I had not realized being so far up north increased the daytime by so much. On top of that, it took far longer for the sky to get dark enough for the Milky Way to become visible. At last by 11pm, the sky finally darkened enough for stars to twinkle. And there she was: the Milky Way exposed herself from behind Mt. Reynolds. For majority of the time the core was hidden behind Mt. Reynolds but I waited until the Milky Way moved enough to expose its core in the valley as I had originally envisioned. By around 11:30pm, the scene was complete. The Milky Way stretched diagonally across my frame and the majority of the core was exposed in the relief of the valley.

Managed to grab half an hour at Charnwood Water with the magic formula of sunshine and wildlife (woohoo!)

The coot family were alarmingly unperturbed by people, which is a bit concerning really...

Thanks for looking, it's really appreciated :)

Managed a quick session with www.flickr.com/photos/robmcavoy/, offering the chance to test out new tweaks to a DIY LED strip thingy.

This is all done with a single tool, no post processing. I was quite chuffed.

I have managed (thanks to Mord) to find some of my old uploads from my previous flickr stream...

If i find more.... i shall post more...

Thank you to all those that re-added me to their contact list and for all the support you have all given to me over the past few weeks whilst i have tried to get my new account up and running...

Sometime ago lived a clever thief. One who was so good at his job, he managed to steal technology from a rogue time-travelled without getting caught. He fashioned this tech into his pistol, creating this world's first freeze-pistol, and giving him the name "Captain Cold." With this pistol, his trusty ship dubbed "The Rogue," and his special code of honor, Leonard Snart would become one of the most infamous criminals of his time. But when the crew of one of the fastest ships ever made, "The Scarlet Speedboat," arrived to stop him, he knew he needed help. And so he hired his new crew, who then followed him loyally, and their rivalry with the crew of "The Scarlet Speedboat" begun.

So I don't know if I'm supposed to be doing these backstories, but I personally enjoy them. And I'm considering creating both the crews of "The Rogue" and "The Scarlet Speedboat," so if you'd like to see that, please say so.

Fig-Formula: Barriss Offee hood, Trickster head, Jack Sparrow torso, and LBM Police Officer (Joe West) legs. Gun design is based of those from Slight.of Brick.

Anyways, this is my second entry to TheModularBrick's contest. Hope you like my entry, and be sure to check out the contest! Thanks for reading and have a spectacular day!

This Red Rhododendron Bloom was shot with my Canon PowerShot SX1 IS with the Raynox DCR-250 lens attached.

Project 52: #14

We always manage to clear the snow, no matter how many feet we get!

Managed to zoom in to max 500mm and capture this shot through the branches and leaves for this active starling.

Looks like the red eye reduction feature on the camera ain't working :)

managed a few of these 2 together this month, went with this for the group just because of their goofy expressions (well Biscuit at least)
