Grey Fantail (Rhipidura albiscapa)
I wandered out the front with the macro lens on the camera and spotted a Grey Fantail perched in our Cape Leeuwin Wattle Tree. A surprise, I have never had them in the garden before. I dashed inside and grabbed the birding lens, thankfully the pair, yes there were two, were still flitting around catching insects to eat so I was able to get a few images. They stayed for another 25 minutes before flying off.
5:30PM update - I just went into the backyard to get the washing off the line and the pair are happily flitting around the trees catching insects, some competition for the New Holland Honeyeaters!
It's a very warm but quiet Sunday at pre-season Dawlish, and a pair of couples enjoying the sea air seem more than happy to dwell on the sight of the passing train.
Perhaps they know the High Speed Train units are now eking out their final few months employed on local services having been the backbone of London Paddington - West of England main-line services since the mid-1970s.
In this instance, a foreshortened set (4 carriages + 2 power cars) is doing the honours. Class 43 'Castle Class' units 43097 and 43186 top and tail, and the train is GWR's 3.27pm Exeter St David's - Plymouth (2C32)
Arguably the most successful design to ever come out of the British Rail Workshops, rumour has it they will be gone from down here by the end of the year - so maybe enjoy them while you can.

Some ducks swim upstream in Yellowstones Madison River as a bull elk walks by.
He was focused on his ladies who were on the other side. They were getting friendly with some dangerous critters. He didn't want them getting too far away.

Keep safe and warm on this wicked weekend!
A large thunderhead had passed over Browns Canyon and was now receding to the east. It had been thrilling, but at dusk it showed a gentler side.

''Like a speeding train
''I am passing by...
''I don’t know where I’m heading with whom or why.
''All I know is that I will never, ever pass from here again.
''All I know is I’m skidding forward''
(Sanober Khan 'A touch, a tear, a tempest')

A second photo of Saturdays Swindon to North East Christmas market special. The location as before iOS Burton Salmon, but this time around I have zoomed in for just the road bridge and loco.
The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.

In the fog of Manchester a Metrolink heads out towards Castlefield, passing the new towers being built. These towers have changed the skyline of Manchester.

This and the following photo were part of the same event and taken just a few minutes apart. Indeed you can see raindrops on my lens. The train is moving towards, and passed, the train in the following shot.

We admire the beautiful views, waves, sunsets, and often we don't see the beauty of the little things... for example a surface of the breakwater wood...
Aucazein is a village in the Ariège department of south-western France. The plan was to string a few existing long distance trails together and hike along the Pyrenean foothills from the Mediterranian to the Atlantic. I love the old world charm of French villages where finding a bakery can be one of the day's highlights. Most long distance trails in Europe offer more of a cultural than a wilderness experience. This was day 23 of our hike and we were following the GR 78 (Voie du Piémont) which is part of the Way of St. James pilgrimage trail network. Eventually all these trails are leading to the shrine of the apostle Saint James the Great in the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain, where tradition has it that the remains of the saint are buried. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camino_de_Santiago#/media/File:Ways...
