Small waxbill, adult olive green above, gray below, with red eyebrow, red bill, and black tail. In flight, bright red rump apparent. Juvenile with red rump but otherwise olive drab with dark bill. Inhabits grassy areas close to thick cover in eastern and southeastern coastal Australia. Often-heard call is a thin "seeeeep." (eBird)

Finally, one stopped moving long enough to get a photo! These beautiful finch live in large flocks and all want to land on the feeder at the same moment. This one was just contemplating his next move.

Our UK song thrush can travel south to the Canary Isles and as far as North Africa. This one was one of many that I saw on Sunday passing through Dungeness . They were mainly flighty and seemed eager to continue their journey but the odd one stopped long enough to have its picture taken . Image taken at the pines Dungeness RSPB .
The crickets are getting a bit bigger, this one stopped to pose : ))
good details when viewed up close
Have a good one

Impression from Tianzifang. Was pretty crowded, as it was a Chinese holiday.
Tianzifang (Chin: 田子坊) is an area of small narrow alleys or "nong" (弄) that has been redeveloped and now features arts shops, restaurants and bars and also enough souvenir shops to make it a one-stop shopping location on the hunt for the "typical" Chinese souvenir. Got hungry while souvenir hunting? 10 different countries feature their respective national cuisine...

We had a little warming trend at the end of last week and got out on our bikes for a ride at Myakka River State Park. A flock of Robins passed over us and this one stopped for a pose before joining the others again. Sarasota, FL
Happy Wing Wednesday!

This one stopped me in my tracks upon first seeing it! And I was even more surprised when I saw that it was a 1953 Fiat with a V8 engine under it's very streamlined hood! "Supersonic," the name perfect for the times when rockets and aviation played such a major part in the designs of the cars from that period. Here are more of the details:
The 1953 Fiat 8V Supersonic is a rare, jet-age-inspired sports car featuring custom Carrozzeria Ghia aluminum bodywork, a 2.0-liter V8 engine, and an independent suspension. Only about 15 units of this distinct Supersonic variant were ever built. Most users on Reddit agree that it is stunningly gorgeous, with a unique naming origin because Fiat thought Ford owned the rights to "V8".Design and SpecsDesigner: Giovanni SavonuzziEngine: 1,996 cc light-alloy 70° V8 producing roughly 104 to 105 horsepowerTransmission: 4-speed manualChassis: Tubular frame with 4-wheel independent suspensionStyling Cues: Teardrop headlights, panoramic wraparound windshield, and tailfins styled like jet afterburnersRarity and LegacyProduction: Out of 114 total Fiat 8V chassis produced, just 15 received the exclusive Ghia Supersonic body.Racing Success: The standard 8V platform dominated the 2-liter Italian GT class, winning the championship for five straight years from 1954 to 1958.Value: Surviving examples fetch well over $1.8 million at major collector car auctions
To see the light and shadows flying across the landscape always inspires me to always have my camera with me even when just walking the dog, there is always something that will catch your eye to make an image. Sometimes it`s being in the right place at the right time sometimes it`s just seeing what you can make out of a photo opportunity anything will do to make an image. So yesterday morning up on top of Lancing looking down into the Adur valley the clouds were piling up and the light was running across the landscape, the shot had to be taken.
I shot this one stop under exposed to retain all that amazing detail in the highlights you can always pull back those shadows later .
Many anthropological details to ponder: The proprietor lives 'above the shop' complete with a convenience store, a lounge bar, and fuel. Look closely, and you'll see a notice on the door that they only accept cash. A sign advertising a long-past tractor show, and the HB ice cream logos taped to the windows. The pumps look like they date from the 70s or 80s, and have been hit by cars, trucks, and tractors so many times they're barely standing. Packing tape holds the pump exteriors together -- to a point. Surprisingly, the diesel pump still appears to work, with the lights on and current pricing. I've never seen a customer's car here, yet the place seems well maintained outside of the wonky fuel pumps and outdoor light.
Eagle Nest One Stop (US64 Gas). Permanently closed and abandoned. They had it all.....gas, car wash, pay phone, ice, ice cream, DVDs and goodies for the munchies.

Don't get many indigos in the yard, this one stopped for a drink and bath..
Passerina cyanea
Like all other blue birds, Indigo Buntings lack blue pigment. Their jewel-like color comes instead from microscopic structures in the feathers that refract and reflect blue light, much like the airborne particles that cause the sky to look blue.
Driving from one stop to another, we passed Llyn Ogwen and had a quick stop. There were a number of camper vans where we parked and so we were very aware of any noise we made. Sorry if we disturbed you, travellers!
There was a single light in the distance- we couldn’t work out what it was. It wasn’t there the whole time though. Must be aliens.

Having gone back in the archive for some of my early digital images, this morning I decided to pull out a few film shots from even earlier years. Back in the 1980s, Michael Orton of Nanaimo, British Columbia, developed a technique for creating surreal, glowing images using slide film. It became widely known as Orton Imagery.
A quick explanation: you would make two shots of the same scene, (1) out of focus, wide aperture, one stop overexposed; and (2) in focus, your choice of aperture, 2 stops overexposed. Then sandwich the developed slide frames into the same mount and shoot a dupe (or have a lab do that); in later years you could create a scan. This is a scan of a dupe.
These days a similar effect can be obtained in Photoshop. Michael continues to push creative boundaries - from what I can see, he never was interested in making conventional photos.
I didn't come close to achieving the quality of his work, which you can find online via Google search. But I had fun with it. This shot ran as a 2-page spread in a feature article I wrote for Explore magazine in 2000.

When you get out of your car at a rest area you're not usually thinking of the view, but at this one stop I'm really glad I did stop to look up!

One stop we made before heading into Jasper was in Golden, Canada. We only stayed for the night but I was able to enjoy a nice sunset down by the Kicking Horse River.
I think spring is well and truly underway now with a few Daffodils springing up. In the bright sun I under exposed by one stop to stop the whites blowing out which also made the background nice and dark for me.
The approaching Northern line train draws absolutely no attention from the waiting passenger, who looks down egrossed in his mobile device at Clapham North station.
Opened in 1900 as Clapham Road, as part of an extension of the City & South London Railway, Clapham North is one of two remaining stations on the London Underground network which have narrow island platforms. The other station being Clapham Common, one stop to the south.
