I managed to get out and go for a wee bit of a walk up the road with my camera after the snow let up around 3 or so. I love how the snow seems to just stay on the branches of the pines and cedars up here.

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

You know how annoying it is with an itch that you can't scratch? Imagin what this female thick-legged hoverfly (Syritta pipiens), also known as the compost hoverfly, must be going through.
The red blob is some sort of velvet mite (Trombidiidae) which had managed to attach itself to the neck of the fly.
Besides the fate of the poor fly, do you think this very symmetrical shot would be better or worse if the mite hadn't been at an angle? I'm leaning towards it breaking the symmetry being a good thing myself.
managed to change my settings as he flew from one rock to another. no perfect but good enough. quite cropped as I said was not ready.
Here, my ninja sneaking skills paid off and I managed nt one, but two, shots without this green tiger beetle (Cicindela campestris) moving.
The shots were then baked into a single image with better depth of field using Zerene Stacker.
This was taken at Tyresta by ("by" means "village" in Swedish and is bronounced more like "bee") using the MP-E65mm lens at 2.4:1 magnification which means the beetle was about 55 mm (2") from the front glass when I took these shots.
Here's another shot from that day - with two tigers in frame at the same time: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52851431880/
Managed to capture the first ornamental Cherry Trees in bloom against a beautiful blue sky. This one is across the street from us. Spring has sprung for sure!
On the spur of the moment when the rain stopped, I decided to walk out to the beach @ Titchwell this morning. In spite of the dull light managed to get a few Bearded Tit photo's on the way. These 4 are all Males.
Remnants of a fence on the edge of the chalk cliffs at Saltdean in Sussex, parts of which have evidently already been taken by rock falls. Shot from behind the newer fence that replaced it.
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!
We managed to do a snowshoe trip to Hyak Lake yesterday. A cold, beautiful day. We saw nobody else in the woods all day until we returned to the car at 5 pm, when a man was out walking his dogs.
Here is where we ate lunch. The temperature was about 22 degrees, with no breeze, complete silence. From here we wandered further uphill to the warming hut used for cross country skiing. A thermometer on the outside of the building, facing the sun, read a balmy 22 degrees.
When we started the car and let it warm up as we removed our gear the car's thermometer read 11 degrees.
Finally managed to grab a photograph of single deck 162 which has also received its new madder and white livery.
Lothian 162 seen at the bottom of The Mound whilst working its usual service 42 to Davidson's Mains. 21st November 2016.
Sibling rivalry part 1 of 3
This juvenile red-shouldered hawk managed to catch this nice little snake. He was loudly enjoying his catch on the ground...until one sibling shows up.
I've managed a handful of photographs of Peregrines perched on a cliff, and a few overhead flight shots, and all have their challenges. This is the only time I've managed one from a view point higher than the bird, so with limited time and overcast conditions I'm quite happy with it. I was volunteering at Bempton Cliffs on the East Yorkshire coast, when this individual did a "sortie" over the sea and along the face of the cliff
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.
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
I managed to take my pictures using RAW on my camera without realising and I couldn't work out how to upload... I couldn't see the pictures like usual so I was panicking and thinking noooo dont make me do this again. Time consuming enough as it is.
I have a few days till I start working again so I'm hoping to do lots more in that time.
Having never managed to see an Arizona and California Railroad train, I've now done it twice in a week.
I've spent more than a few hours at Cadiz, perhaps because it has been one of those places where I've gotten lucky with one thing or another, perhaps because I've waited for the four-axles on the BNSF Cadiz local from Barstow.
But never have I seen the A+C train arrive from Parker AZ.
Tick.
It's a pity I didn't manage it in the days before the corporate Genesee and Wyoming look, I'm sure that elderly four-axles in that delicious green and cream looked absolutely sublime in this very spot.
But no matter.
It was non-stop at Cadiz on the TransCon, I barely had time to write my reference notes and there was another train on the horizon.
This was the cherry on the top. And sprinkles!
Cadiz CA, 13 February 2023.
ARZC 4403 GE C44-9W ex-BNSF 4527
ARZC 4401 GE C44-9W ex-BNSF 4577
ARZC 4400 GE C44-9W ex-BNSF 4534
The locomotives were returned by the BNSF to GE Leasing (GECX) then sold on.
Managed a few shots from the car in Burnham Overy Staithe this morning.
Herring Gull striding towards a car that just arrived with a breakfast
Managed to stack together 11 photos for this !
Manually aligned the images so the bulk of the alignment is around the galactic core. Resulting in a slightly fuzzy outer edge - which allows you to focus more on the core itself :)
Used the Samyang or Rokinon 12mm f2 wide open (at f2) for this photo
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

The tide was high and the air fairly still so I thought I’d have a go at the Christmas lights in Looe. I’m glad that I did, it was really beautiful – better than I’ve managed to capture it.
I’d just like to take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas – in Cornish, of course – and thank you all for taking the time to view/comment on my images this year. I do not have the time to acknowledge each one individually but rest assured, they are all very much appreciated!
Looe, the Cornish for which is ‘Logh’, meaning deep water inlet, is a small coastal town, fishing port in south-east Cornwall. In medieval times there were two towns on opposite banks of the River Looe. East Looe includes the fishing harbour, the main shopping centre and the sandiest beach. West Looe is quieter, but also has shops, restaurants and hotels and leads to Hannafore with its fine views of Looe Island. The two towns are now one, joined by a bridge across the Looe river.
I managed to find some color in the sky this morning; this to add extra appeal to the nice rock shapes and water motion here at Burwood Beach, NSW; Australia.
I'm really pleased with a recent purchase of a 6 stop slot-in ND filter by Haida - excellent optics and trueness of color (Schott glass as used in B&W filters) and considerably cheaper than the Lee Little Stopper!
Hope this is liked by you - thanks for any comments, viewings or favorites - greatly appreciated!!!
Have an awesome day and week!!!
The first time I managed to capture at least a part of one of these wonderful creatures... :-))) During the following days, spending hours and hours at the wonderful little creek, I became an expert in tracking ring snakes... you'll see! :-DD
I managed to spot some lovely crepuscular rays over the sea recently and rushed down a field to catch it. Glad I did, it was a spectacular show! The manacles are a group of rocks that stretch nearly a mile just below the surface of the water. Extremely hazardous to ships, there are countless wrecks there.
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.

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.
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 get a shot with him looking into camera this morning, still lots of twigs in way as usual
Managed to get a shot of the famous Austin Blues legend statue at Butler Park. Tried to get the city skyline behind him with the foliage. Used Lightroom to bring up the shadows and add a vignette on this one.
caught this guy yesterday morning when I walked down to the mailbox for the mail.
(LOL.....NO! I don't usually carry my long lens to the mailbox, but I had seen him flying from tree to tree through the window, and figured I'd take a chance I'd be able to get a capture.)
I watched him fly up into the top of a big pine, and "disappear"
I aimed the camera and snapped off a bunch of "blind" shots,and managed to catch him as he was leaving.
Once all the group had managed to make it safely up Buckshot Lake Road a wee bit where they managed to head into the trees to stay out of the falling snow and wind, the "traffic cop" did a "hop skip and a jump"
up the hill no doubt celebrating a successful traffic monitoring for all those under it's watchful eye.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my little space here on Flickr!
