Ventured down the coast for a few days this week, Dovercourt is a grand total of 24 miles from home and I think that's as far as we're going to get this year in terms of a summer holiday!
The traditional view of the Low Lighthouse is normally a sunrise shot with it being on the East coast but it also makes an interesting subject during the day. We've had a few very hot sunny days here this week- it was all blue hazy skies so not a lot in the way of photographic opportunities, but it was lovely to see people enjoying the beach and cooling off in the sea. I love the sparkles on the sea on a bright sunny day.
(I THINK I got permission from the pretty girl in the pink swimsuit to photograph them. I was some distance away but we had a vague waving/pointing at the camera/distant thumbs up kind of exchange. I was pleased to see when I zoomed in she is looking straight at me and smiling :) )
Happy Weekend everyone!
I've decided to take a year off from photography. I've certainly had a number of setbacks photographically over the last year and also I've lost my motivation to pick up a camera. Maybe a long period without picking up a camera will help me find a new appreciation.
Somewhat ironically the sun was quite nice this evening so I shot this last one as the sun sets over Ilkley Moor. I am still judging competitions and enjoying looking at others images though which is something !

I finally got a picture with a couple of my DVISION members! These two are such amazing women and I'm so glad they are part of our group. Thank you Bishop and Euphie for dealing with my snail speed blind ass @.@ Make sure to go check out their flickr as well!

Here's how it goes in my neck of the woods....
1. watch the local news to see if the impending thunderstorm will stop the launch.
2. Wait until about a minute and a half before lift off, then go outside and take a few practice shots."
3. Watch the shuttle rise into the sky and fly over the ocean.
4. Watch the tiny, orange speck of flame until there's separation and it disappears.
5. Grab some more shots of the shuttle trail.
6. Go back in the AC and cool off again!
This is the view from my front yard of the Endeavor Launch at 6:03, July 15, 2009.

This image was captured just as the Harris hawk was lifting off to go further up the limb. Such a beautiful, strong and amazing species . Truly loved watching these beauties fly the skies !!
Wishing you all an awesome Thursday and a very blessed one !
This day there were a huge storm on the city of Vienne in France. This picture was taken just before. Some raindroplets started to falling down. The Rhone river was majestic ... some street lamps was curiously on...

It was a sunny day, and the Queen Elizabeth Park rose garden called. I don't know most of the flower species names, but they sure are pretty!
New Hampshire Northcoast's D7 job, complete with the matching green set, swings off the District 2 main line and onto NHN's own trackage at Rollinsford. Work at Somersworth and Rochester lies ahead before arriving at The Pit in Ossipee for loading.
It was sitting very nicely on the balcony rail and took off as I hit the shutter. It's only about the 2nd or 3rd time I've caught a bird in flight!
Maybe better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
One of today's tasks was take this for MOT. G622 BPH new to London & Country it last operated with Sunfun but now is in the stages of being converted to non psv use to be sent to Calais for the refugees.
Taken at Old Bar, NSW.
A wet night saw many birds drying off this morning, and still looking slightly bedraggled! Many, like this Hobby were quite happy to soak up a few rays before setting out for the day!
The hobby is a solitary and aggressive falcon using rapid flickering wing beats, with tail fanned when hovering. It glides on flat or slightly drooped wings with carpals flexed and outerwings swept back. Its flight is often characterised as low and fast, zig-zagging over or between vegetation and open ground.
