A view out to sea from Brighton’s Palace pier, you can just about see the remains of the West Pier on the horizon in the distance. Wish you all a very Happy Fence Friday and have a great weekend!

Bugs peering from behind the curtain, displaying his curious nature.

Seen through the railings of Lovekin's 120-year-old bridge, unit autorack train E271 swings through the curve into the late-afternoon sun. Their first stop will be a couple dozen kilometres away in Oshawa where they'll interchange with RSOS before continuing on to Toronto.

I really don't like faffing around with a tripod but today I thought I would blow the cobwebs off mine and give a few long exposures a try...

We headed down to Swanage in Dorset, where it was trying to rain and very dull and grey...

I fired off just a couple of shots of the old Pier - from the new Pier, got bored and went for Fish n Chips...

so yeah...here I was peering in...and I snapped a picture...trying to get the nerve to go in

I'm very busy at the moment - apologies for my recent absence - will try and catch up soon :)

here's an iPhone Hipstamatic ICM pic - all processing done on my iPhone

Freezing fog up on Hadrian's Wall created eerie conditions.

An 8 mile hike where I spent as much time on my backside as I did on my feet due to the icy paths underfoot.

Note to self - I must invest in some walking poles.

The cute pair of Carolina Wrens consider the vine covered fence their home base until nesting season, and you never know when they will pop up next!

Red Squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris)

📍 Caldey Island, Tenby

Another red squirrel photo for your daily cuteness fix!...

Shot (with my camera of course) on a trip to Caldey Island, off the Pembrokeshire coast near Tenby.

As mentioned in a previous post, the strong(ish) sunlight made for difficult conditions. But as in this case, it presented the opportunity for spotlighting the subject in the dappled light - as the squirrel peers into the dark.

Canon 6D MkII | Sigma 150-600mm lens at 600mm | ƒ/6.3 | 1/80 sec | ISO 1000 | Handheld | No filters | Lightroom & Photoshop | Taken at Caldey Island on 16-09-2021

My neighborhood

I like to try and find natural frames if possible. This is a little rest stop where you can sit in some shade right by the water.

Fox twists and turns to develop difficult line of sight through tree limbs to see us twisting and bending for line of photography through the tree limbs.

This bluejay, peering at me.

Or sizing up our house, which you can see reflected in his eye ( = his over-sharpened eye).

Bald eagle peering down at those getting too close.

A young adult black bear peers out at me from the limb where he rests, entertaining himself by idly stripping the bark from the branches. This is a wild cinnamon-phase black bear who is at ease in my presence.

Since the last time I'd seen this log, it seems to have been attacked by an artist!

Streuth!, madradish& Karowich have all been drowning things in bubbles................& I felt left out :(

Taken a while back at Bournda National Park before the parks closed because of all the bushfires.

A Great Crested Flycatcher peers out of it's nest before takeoff.

What defense can there be against madness? Coming ever so softly, ever so quietly, a talented and patient predator. Taking time, changing actualities here and there. So it begins, convincing that lies can become solid as truths. A master of horrors and cruelties convinced.

What defense can there be against madness?

Surely none.
