A scan from a battered old glass plate negative that I have had knocking around for years. This Albion of Rushton, Harrogate has come to grief in snow, probably up on the Pennines somewhere. Unless the starting handle is hiding something, the registration would appear to be AWU 47.
The ocean wasn't actually off limits. But maybe because of the big storms, the city put up this fence along the south side of the pier. The waves were wild, the surfers were out!
Yes, I'm off to practice lots of the above.
I hope I'll be able to show you lots of great shots in two weeks' time.
Bye all!
Having refueled at my sister's feeder, this hummer takes off. Their wings beat so fast that even a shutter speed of 1/1500th of a second doesn't freeze the action. I like the sense of motion here that the moving wings provide.
I wanted the feeder and the (ten feet away) morning glory flowers and leaves to be in sunlight for this picture so that I could shoot this large heavy lens hand held, and not have to use a tripod. I very much wanted a well lit, out of focus, colorful background for the birds.
More hummingbird pictures, if that strikes your fancy, can be seen in my hummingbird set. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157627149575339/...
This photo was given to me several years ago. It shows two US Army medical "Dust Off" Iroquois waiting on standby in South Vietnam during the war. Photo taken around 1970.

I got this new top the other day and Sunday is always a good day to get dressed up, what with church etc.
I love the print, as it happens it perfectly matches a coat I've got but the 2 together, I'm not sure, maybe too much?
It's also a thin top so the cool weather is not helping! off to get changed now.
Love to all xx

The wing is cut off a little, but it doesn't seem bother me much. This was caught at Sutro area in San Francisco.

This butterfly hunched it's abdomen just prior to taking off. It looks like it could be Edith's Copper (Lycaena editha) like this one on bugguide: bugguide.net/node/view/63718/bgimage
Corrections appreciated.
Roxy Bear creates a mini rain storm as she exits her favorite pond. This was two years ago when California had plenty of wet stuff in February. The pond is currently dry, Roxy Bear wants rain!
When I was a kid in the early 1970s, Off! insect repellent was one of the smells of summer. The commercials featured a man sticking his arm into a clear box filled with mosquitoes and would get attacked by dozens of them. Then he'd pull it out and spray it with Off! then stick it back in, and the voiceover would say, "Bugs don't bite, they don't even light." It was available "in spray or foam." We almost always got the spray but my dad got the foam once. A product of Johnson Wax.
