One advantage of driving Lewis to school this morning was being able to catch the lovely sunlight falling across the fields - I might use my nifty fifty more often for landscapes!!

African Darter Anhinga rufa

The African Darter is a member of the darter family, Anhingidae, and is closely related to American (Anhinga anhinga), Oriental (Anhinga melanogaster), and Australasian (Anhinga novaehollandiae) darters. The male is mainly glossy black with white streaking, but females and immature birds are browner. The African darter differs in appearance from the American darter most recognisably by its thin white lateral neck stripe against a rufous background colour.

With three hungry eaglets to feed, momma eagle flies off to look for food.

Found at a children’s playground in Picton, New Zealand. Kind of scary.

Well, a short fence on the left for Happy Short Fence Friday! Some time back we took a 50 cent fare to Cleveland on the south side of Brisbane. You can catch a shuttle bus to the Stradbroke Ferry Terminal from here, then a ferry across Moreton Bay to North Stradbroke Island and then a bus to the three main centres on the island.

I don't know if any of these are covered by the new 50c fares but the Redland Bay to Macleay, Lamb, Karragarra and Russell Island ferry service certainly is and makes for a very inexpensive spin around these islands. BTW, the train is a Queensland Rail NGR set and this service runs back to Shorncliffe on the bay on the north side of Brisbane. The next new trains to be built will be suitably called Olympic sets!

With early morning mist lifting, Freightliner 66526 & 59102 approach Fairwood Junction on the Westbury avoiding line with 7C29, the 06:41 Acton TC – Merehead Quarry empty jumbo train on 22nd September 2021.

I traveled around the irrigation ditch, into the field for a more encompassing view of the curious shed against the grand sky. More skies! Here is another recent McIntosh heavy skies shot over toward Highway #66 in the distance to Hygiene, Colorado with Mount Meeker obscured in the distance. Meeker was a Longmont preacher who, with his family, was justifiably sliced and diced by the Western Colorado Ute Indians. This is at the McIntosh agricultural museum, north of the lake, and the curious octagonal storage building in the southwestern corner. This is where the bee hives are located and they fly about looking for anything in flower, sticker weeds, probably. I always figure that I can get back to my truck before the skies let loose.

This was another dandy sky day and I originally thought that I better get more exercise in and head on down to the McIntosh Lake loop trail but this sky looked pretty good over the mountains. There is always something at McIntosh. I am fighting back against time poorly spend behind this keyboard and monitor.

This is the McIntosh-Lohr Farm Agricultural Museum on Highway #66, (not the same as Route #66) It goes up to Estes Park and mostly ends @ east Flatteville and Hwy. #66. I dropped my intended walk when I saw this clouding that really popped the windmill.

Charlestown, MA

56096 crawls over Seaton Viaduct with the 6C77 05:43 Bedford North Junction to Toton working.

The speed restriction over this section of line saw trains running at around 20mph, allowing plenty of time for photographs. The Colas grid made a mighty noise upon exiting the speed restriction area and speeding up for it's journey north towards Manton Junction.

After a cross with another VR & SAR joint consist in the form of down Overland 6MA8, ALARC locomotive 701 smokes up in the shadow of the large grain silos in Tatyoon as it begins to move back onto the mainline with train 9L84 and a Steamrail/SRS transfer train from Dimboola to Albury. 2/6/23

So this is yet another day of thunder, hail, lightening, wind and of course rain..this is my Hattie....cos she is so big...every says 'Back off Hattie' just to try and get control...

Went to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk the day before New Year's Eve. It was open for Christmas break, but only half of the rides were operational. This gave me lots of time to shoot this Swing Carousel. I couldn't just post it as is, so here it is after much sliding.

Amfibious driving practice, April 2021.

This is next level of "off-road" driving, true in the sense that this is by no means a "road", it´s just a big ditch filled with dirty water and plenty of sticky mud.

And in terms of waterproof vehicle, that is only partially true.

When this picture was taken, I became fully aware that the vehicle is only waterproof up to the level where the clutch and brakes are located, but I got out of this "ditch" anyway.

Uploaded for the contest “Ghosts” @interno7

Off the wall. While shooting my sunset photos of Ullswater and Helvellyn I became very attached to this ruined wall at Pooley bridge. I stored my gear on it, sorted my filters out on it and usually rested against it. So just as I decide the shoot was over, (a wee bit guilty as maybe it wasn't). You know the blue hour has its own magic but I had a 2 hour drive ahead of me and I had been out since dawn, I digress. Anyway just as I was about to leave I photograph the wall and heres the photo.

I can hear the whistling sound of the Goldeneye taking off, I love that sound and the little fast flying demons!
