I manage to open the cage and not to wake him up :-) Sometimes he just snooze like this after running over his cage.
I managed to finish work over 5hrs early today & whist 'passing' back to Derby & going through Loughborough I noticed 37421 & 37610 in the back platform with the driver changing ends. A quick check on my phone showed me what they were on. So on arrival back at Derby it was a quick drive home, a change of clothes & pick up the camera & pole, then a spirited drive over to Elford. They were on the goods line at Burton as I pulled up at Elford. By the time I'd walked down the field & got into position they were in Elford loop. Then by the time I'd set up they were just coming out Elford loop & coming under the bridge, some 26 minutes early. Close.
37610 (tnt with 37421) pulls away from Elford loop hauling 1Q46 11:08 Derby RTC - Derby RTC (via Burton Leic Jn, Stapleford & Sandiacre, L'Boro, Toton, Washwood Heath West Jn & Chaddesden) test train on the 20th February 2023 (pole)

Managed to get a very special package together just in time, Hopefully it will arrive for my Friend's Birthday.. Susie Stopped me from Shipping it before I put the Card in!
Good job Susie Sass!
Managed to capture this seal as he was jumping out of his pool for his fish...Taken at skegness natureland and seal sanctuary..
I managed to catch this beautiful osprey in flight today against a very busy background. Not perfect I know, but by my standards, I'm chuffed! It just caught the light at exactly the right moment.
It had a nest down in a valley, and I had started to hike down to see if I could get a decent shot, but it immediately did a few warning flybys to discourage me, and I didn't have the heart to agitate it so, so I hiked back out.
It has a little bit of fish offal hanging from its beak.
Location, near Muddy Hollow out in Point Reyes, California.
Today is day 16 of Project 365.
Taken with a Canon EOS REBEL T5 using a 135-400mm lens. F/8.0, 400mm, 1/500, ISO 1250, No flash.
I managed to break two vases the other day so I had a bucket of glass pieces to choose from. I decided to try something I've seen before.
It should be possible to get an effect like this by using pure red, blue and green lights at different angles. I mimicked the colored lights however by taking three shots with a single flashlight at different positions, taking from each image only the red, blue or green channel (channel mixer in Darktable) and combining them (in the Gimp blending the layers with mode 'addition')
This is a crop of a larger image in order to get enough depth of field.
Thanks for all your comments and faves, they are really appreciated.
Happy Macro Monday!
genius manages to roll car in a single vehicle accident on a hot dry day on a dead straight piece of highway in light weekend traffic. he was ok and on his mobile straight away. maybe he never got off it? that would be awesome. "hello? hello?? wtf just happnened?" "oh, jus roll my car lor, no worry mah, this AYE si beh tricky to drive one lah."
oh, in today's paper - another genius managed to crash his motorbike into a turning bus, going through the rear doors in the process and leaving his bike wedged in the bus aisle. he wasn't as lucky as this driver and is in a critical condition. check out the picture in the news story

Managed to find a poppy field after lots of looking around and driving aimlessly. Thanks to the girls that assisted with help finding the location. Local knowledge always wins out.
Managed to capture this beauty in poor light conditions and through other obstacles but pleased with the result, never put your camera away !!
Managed to get my first three shots of the fledglings in the garden this morning. There is about five of them but not staying still long enough! The blue tits are nesting too so hope to get some shots of them also.
Managed a few shots from the car in Burnham Overy Staithe this morning.

Finally managed to get out and capture another sunrise after a few weeks delay due to floods and other misadventures.
This time at South Bar Beach, NSW, Australia with friend and fellow flickr photographer Archie McCafferty.
Have a fantastic day and weekend everyone!

I managed to escape to the Peak District this week to catch up with an old friend and visit a new location. The idea was to wild camp and take both sunset and sunrise shots, but the weather forecast changed and the sun failed to show up at sunset and with heavy rain predicted through the night and into the next day we decided to call it a night.
A nice view but one for another day when the conditions are better. A nice leg stretch and a good chat in the pub before heading home to a comfy bed.
Managed to get in the revamped Kingfisher hide today for the first time, I arrived at around 11.30 and by 3.00 the resident female visited at least 10 times.
Ok the weather was crap but I still managed to bag a few decent images when the clouds thinned every now and again..
Managed to find the nest site of a pair of Dartford warblers kept our distance as Mum & Dad kept a steady flow of food coming

I managed to have everything fall into place for this backlit shot of a young Roe buck at RSPB Fairburn Ings, Nr Castleford, West Yorkshire.
A cold sunny winters morning.
Thank you for taking the time to visit and view my Flickr page and image. Happy to receive feedback / comments regarding my images.
Managed to get out today and go to a few locations iv been really wanting to visit. this is one of them. it is a slip ramp from the yacht club in Brighton.
I was lucky to get out. a few nights ago we had lighting at 2am, and I woke up to try capture some of the storm, but as I was walking back from the car after getting my tripod, I actually dropped my tripod right on the ball head and completely stuffed it... about time though. was needing a new one. so I brought a vanguard ball head, and it is so much better than my last one. cost me $170 but very much worth it. would recommend.
hope you like my upcoming images and please leave a comment if you have time. thanks

Well, I managed to get an entry put together, and I think I even have a day to spare. Yay me! So, without further ado, let's get to it.
Name: Sheik
Homeworld: Mirial
Species: Mirialan
Weapon of choice: Energy bow
Affiliation: Separatist/Empire
Era: Clone wars - Imperial age
Backstory:
Orphaned at a young age, Sheik was forced to fend for himself. Ever since he could remember, he had dreamt of leaving his cold and dry homeworld of Mirial. Once he had left, he made his way towards the inner core of the galaxy, taking the odd job as he went. By the time the Clone war had broken, Sheik was already prolific in certain circles. He was famous for his methodology, using an energy bow, instead of a blaster, to strike down his prey. allying himself with the Separatists proved to be a lucrative decision, affording him many chances. During the clone wars, he was rumoured to have killed as many as 30 Jedi, with only his energy bow, and his wits.
When the Clone war ended, his bloodlust still not satisfied, Sheick affiliated himself with the newly formed Galactic Empire, aiding them in hunting what few Jedi remained. renowned across the galaxy for his wits, Sheik quickly came to be known as 'the Predator', using solely his skills and his bow to hunt his prey. He was known to stalk his prey planet to planet if necessary. Sheik is a deadly opponent, and is not one to misjudge his opponent. Be careful not to make the mistake of underestimating him.
So, that's that done and dusted. As always, lemme know what you think :D
Managed to catch this at around lunchtime today when I was searching for my photo for today, didn't have a lot of time so it was a quick grab and run. Have a great weekend everyone.
Better viewed large.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
I managed to squeeze in a bit of brick therapy during the past few weeks.
This is small cargo shuttle, that I've been building over the last five weeks or so. This ship is intended to be the space equivalent of a box truck, like this. I imagine this particular ship as having a lot of light-years under its belt, used for longer journeys than originally intended, so there's a hammock in the cargo bay. As I explained above, I had a lot of time to think about this creation, even if I didn't have much time to build or blog. I also imagined the that it might not always have been docked in the nicest of space neighborhoods, so I built after I took some photos, I covered it in graffiti.
I managed to get the whole train in a single frame with my 85mm. Because of the distortion and perspective, the train looks like a big metal worm.
Thank you all for your appreciation.

Managed to get a shot with him looking into camera this morning, still lots of twigs in way as usual
I managed this fairly close shot of two Franklin's Gulls by crawling over a sandy, rocky beach for an hour, pushing my tripod ahead of me, two feet at a time. In some situations a painstaking approach is the only thing that will work. This pair watched me the whole time, one of them expressing apparent displeasure at this moment; a moment later, they were both gone.
The lake was teeming with birds in early May. By late May, very few remained. In late October, the place is a staging area for tens of thousands of snow geese, swans, and ducks on their southbound migration.

Managed to creep up fairly close to this Brown Hare and take a few shots before it legged it.
It never lifted its ears once until it was running away from me!
Managed to capture the milky way at Durdle Door last weekend - this time of the year the galactic core (the orangey bit) is visible! It usually sits below the horizon, its the first time I've ever seen it. The moon had set and there was not a cloud in the sky! You couldn't get better conditions, its been years since I've spent the whole night on the beach - If you never have, I can't recommend it highly enough :)
Managing her young birds about five around her on water and grass.

I managed to get some new Lion Knights' shields. They did not occur in any set! I took a few knights and I just wanted to take some quick photo of them...

Managed to catch the SpaceX Starlink 10-40 mission from Forest, VA, this past Wednesday morning. Despite the pre-dawn scramble, the Nikon Z6 III and Tamron 24-70mm combo handled the dynamic range beautifully. You can clearly see the Falcon 9 second stage leading the way, its exhaust expanding into that iconic "space jellyfish" as it hits the sunlight in the upper atmosphere.

I managed to not tread on these two lovers as they were canoodling in the grass .. I hate hearing that crunch when you don't always see them until it's too late ! .... :(
We managed to get out & enjoy a couple of nice walks in the sunshine but my buddy has had a bit of a rough time of it this week! Barney had a dreaded trip to the vets for a vaccination on Thursday, so he got jabbed and his horrid hooman stopped him from biting the evil vet again! Then on Saturday, he had his first dog fight in a looooong time (he came off worst). The scrap was with dad's partner's BC Hovis, who's quite nervy & anxious about Barney but also rather provocative & annoying. Hovis will do things like follow Barn around for ages, really invading his space, nipping his hocks, then skitter away nervously when he turns around.
For everyone's sanity, I mostly keep them separate when Hovis is here & when the dogs are together, they're watched, praised for calm behaviour & parted if they start getting too tense. Up till now, Barney has generally been restrained in his responses to Hovis but he must've had enough this weekend. There was a brief, loud scuffle, in which Hovis came away with a minor cut on his paw & Barney got bitten in the face a few times :( He's now looking rather the worse for wear. I was initially worried but having cleaned him up, it's clear the cuts are superficial - hopefully they'll heal fast. It was quick & mostly just noise but I still feel really bad they managed to have a fight :( Barney seems fine in himself but he's still had quite a few extra treats & cuddles this weekend! Hoping next week is less... exciting.
managed to outwit this little guy. I spent a good half an hour stalking and chasing through the bush. Eventually it sat still in the open for just long enough so I could rattle off a few frames. It doesn't look to impressed though.
I managed to lose the front of my diffuser back in July. I was leaning over the railing on a floating a bridge to shoot a spider and the wind caught it and it fell into the water. It being held together using neodymium magnets is very useful, but obviously I hadn't built it strong enough.
Since there was no one around but my family (this was out in a nature reserve) I decided to strip off and dive for it.
I spent a while there, but my attempts were fruitless so there was not much else to do but go home and build myself a new one.
This is the second test shot taken with version 7 of my diffuser. It had been raining that day and this was in the evening so I had couldn't be too picky with subjects and this acalyptrate fly (Meiosimyza decempunctata) in the neighbour's hedge is perhaps not the most challenging of subjects, but I am please with the results.
Version 7 now have 10 magnets instead of 5 to hold the diffusion sheet so I believe it will be much more weather-safe now.

======================================================
Wizarding Faire is coming soon and this year, my little store will be in it. Much excite! \o/
I'm not sure if the sim is open to the public now. According to the sim's schedule, students are currently on summer holidays. Plus, certain areas are closed for Wizarding Faire setup.
But here's the sim's official page if you want to check out RP details or if the sim is open or not.
The sim is gorgeous!
I managed to squeeze in an afternoon trip to Åva-Stensjödal in Tyresta National Park on Midsummer's Day (of 2022) and ended up climbing up along the small creek hoping to get some good shots of the demoiselles fluttering over the water which looked absolutely gorgeous with their metallic wings. It turned out to be quite difficult to capture them though so I began walking (or climbing really) towards home when I spotted a real treat on a rock next to the water!
This is a female copper peacock beetle (Elaphrus cupreus) at just 9 mm (3/8") body length shot at 2:2 magnification. It is also a two-exposure focus-stack. I didn't use any particular stacking software though and just blended the parts together using Photoshop.

I managed one shot! Not sure what this crop is but it really is colourful, the field looks orange, almost like flickering flames, even without the golden light, a lot like this in our area. I prayed it would look to the right into the light but no luck.
I managed to get within 20' of this big guy. And I'd of been scared out of my socks, had I not been in my truck at the time. Some times it helps to take a trip to Yellowstone, even during a drought.
There were very few animals in the Park, and just outside the Park the animals I did see looked to be about half starved. We waited a life time to make this trip, and because of the lack of rain everything was pretty much dried out. I pray we get lots of rain this winter. We need to put out all these Fires and fill-up our lakes and reservoirs.
God bless America.

Last year when I was kayaking on Loch Long I came across an old pier and a derelict building at the top of some worn concrete steps. It turned out I has come across the remains of an old World War 2 building used to winch anti-submarine nets across the loch. I often wondered if there was a way to get to it across land, and a couple of weekends ago I managed to find an old trail leading to it.
