Hi to my flickr friends, sorry I have not been able to catch up with your work recently, my health has not been great but pleased to say I'm on the mend now. So hopefully catch up with you all soon. Pete.
Same Red Shouldered hawk as yesterday's post but just a second earlier.
I liked this shot, too. So I decided to share it with you.
I was just so happy he stayed long enough for me to get a few shots of him. I hope he comes back again.
There are lots of these hawks in my area and I hear their calls all the time and often see them off in the distance. Rarely do they come this close to my house.
A real treat
The 'Crab' eases out of Irwell Vale on her second run of the day pulling the Santa Special train on day 2
You get a real sense of speed from this Spitfire FR Mk XIV as it leaves the ground. The undercarriage is in the process of retracting - we can see the left main wheel folding up into the wing, and the small tail wheel at the rear is almost inside.
The round window on the side is a camera port for taking air to ground photos - this model of Spitfire could be used as both a Fighter and Reconnaissance aircraft, hence the FR designation in the name.
Powered by a Rolls-Royce Griffon engine, this type could achieve more than 440mph in level flight. Photographed at Duxford in Oct 2024.
WC engineer Bob Lewis has them in run 8 on the evening of June 16, 1994 as train 34 accelerates out of Trout Lake with 6543, 4151 and 589 leading the way.
An F-35B Lightning II from VMFA-122 "Flying Leathernecks" is seen performing an incredible take off at the 2019 MCAS Yuma air show to start off its demonstration.
The morning fog hovers over Kentucky Creek, while further up the hill a fine new winter day is in the offing. This is a typical weather set-up for the lower foothills during this time of the year. Morning fog over the rivers, creeks, and the lowest spots in the valleys, giving way to a crisp clear day.
The rock walls have been around since the mid-19th century. They line the road going to and away from the Bridgeport Covered Bridge. This area was a small but vital part of the Virginia Turnpike, providing the only crossing over the South Fork of the Yuba during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Imagine, a pesky little river impeding the forward progress of a giant nation.

Heavy frost here recently. Another shot with off-camera flash. I like creating high contrast black and white shots of ferns as you concentrate on their shapes and textures. I process the raw file in DxO PhotoLab with my main concern to crush the blacks around the fern and remove any distracting elements then I use the FilmPack plugin, selecting a film look I think suits the image best and tweaking it from there.
