Possibly my last image of a Fly Agaric mushroom for this year, only because I think you'll all be fed up of me showing them.... anyway I may or may not stick to my word.
Following the opening of the new Queensferry Crossing the Forth Road Bridge is now closed to traffic while repairs are carried out.
Quite possibly one of my favorite butterflies is this one - the Paper Kite. Not only for their beauty and grace but also because when they land on something they usually stay put for a few seconds so you can see them clearly and enjoy their subtle beauty.
And it doesn't hurt that those few seconds also allows you to get a few shots of them posing so prettily.
Seen in the Cecil B Day Butterfly Center at Callaway Gardens.

Possibly Pluteus inquilinus growing from very rotten timer, believed to be be conifer in Salcey Forest, Northants. First time I've encountered this spoecies.
Possibly Torymus auratas.
c.4mm. Found injecting its egg into a fresh gall, on the underside of an oak leaf.
Possibly a separate species, the Little Owls seen in the Middle East are paler and smaller then a Little Owl
possibly P. chrysocephala, but they're not the easiest to ID!! Never have I seen as many as I have this year!! They're everywhere! More often than not, they ping off into to oblivion (they are flea beetles after all!) before I can get a shot, but managed a few today!

Quite possibly one of the most underrated (and also quite fascinating) pieces of railroading in Central West Virginia is the former B&O Cowen Subdivision. Running between Cowen, WV and Grafton, WV.
It's ran by the Appalachian & Ohio Railroad today, with a quintet of GATX/GMTX GP38-2's and run through CSX power.
Sadly in this 2012 photo the ridiculously cool SD90MAC's were living out their final few years in service on the railroad. It was found to be cheaper to double and sometimes triple the grade at Frenchton than rather use the 90MAC's to shove the trains over the grade. I never got to see this railroad in action except for a late night visit in 2014 on my way to Spencer, NC - when we saw this same pair of 90's shuffling cars around the wye area. No pictures, sadly.
The engines are tied down in the Burnsville helper pocket, waiting for the next train to shove over the grades.
In 2016, traffic is varied by the demands of how much coal is needed where. If you're ever able to shoot this piece of railroad - DO IT.
The track in the foreground goes to the Elk River Railroad interchange at Gilmer Station, where even more sporadic movements occur. The track curving off to the right is the Cowen Sub main taking you on towards Cowen.
Mr. Scott Lothes has some absolutely incredible stuff on this fascinating piece of mountain railroading in his photosteam. I highly recommend that anyone reading this takes the time to check out. You will not be disappointed.
This little cutie showed up on our patio this afternoon, after I threw out some tortilla chip crumbs that I thought the sparrow would eat. Instead, this hungry and not in such good shape, chipmunk began gathering up the crumbs and making trip after trip to somewhere around the corner of our house, until every last crumb was gone.
(*Possibly Weedstalk'r) at the Storm Detention Pond, near the west entrance to Thomson Marsh, Kelowna, BC.
Possibly one of the best photography days of my life, so far. I took many, many shots of a couple of female Crossbills leading up to this set. At this point I was directly under her as she enjoyed the pine cones and kept a watchful eye on me. These are exported directly from Lightroom with little or no edits at all, in fact, I had to back off the lens to keep her in shot. A wonderful experience that she allowed me to share

The Rolls-Royce 10 hp was the first car to be produced as a result of an agreement of 23 December 1904 between Charles Rolls and Henry Royce, and badged as a Rolls-Royce. The 10 hp was produced by Royce's company, Royce Ltd., at its factory in Cooke Street, Hulme, Manchester, and was sold exclusively by Rolls' motor dealership, C.S.Rolls & Co., at a price of £395. The 10 hp was exhibited at the Paris Salon in December 1904, along with 15 hp and 20 hp cars and engine for the 30 hp models. The 10 hp was a development of Henry Royce's first car, the Royce 10, of which he produced three prototypes in 1903. This was itself based on a second-hand Decauville owned by Royce which he correctly believed he could improve. In particular, Royce succeeded in making his car significantly quieter than existing cars. Unlike the Royce 10 which had a flat-topped radiator, the Rolls-Royce 10 hp featured one with a triangular top which would appear on all subsequent cars. The engine is a water-cooled twin-cylinder of 1800 cc enlarged to 1995 cc on later cars, with overhead inlet and side exhaust valves, and based on the original Royce engine but with an improved crankshaft. The power output was 12 hp (9 kW) at 1000 rpm. The car has a top speed of 39 mph (63 km/h). There is a transmission brake fitted behind the gearbox operated by foot pedal and internal expanding drum brakes on the back axle operated by the handbrake lever. Springing is by semi-elliptic leaf springs on both front and rear axles. It is a small car with a wheelbase of 75 in (1,905 mm) and a track of 48 in (1,219 mm). Rolls-Royce intended to make 20 of the cars but only 16 were made as it was thought that a twin-cylinder engine was not appropriate for the marque. The last 10 hp was made in 1906.Rolls-Royce did not provide the coachwork. Instead, the cars were sold in chassis form for the customer to arrange his own body supplier, with Barker recommended. Four are believed to survive: the oldest, a 1904 car registered U44, chassis 20154, was sold for £3.2 million (approx £3.6 million after commission and taxes) to a private collector by Bonham's auctioneers in December 2007; AX 148 from 1905, chassis 20162, belongs to the UK Science Museum Collection and is usually on display in the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry; and SU 13 chassis 20165 from 1905 belongs to Bentley Motors. A fourth car, chassis 20159 is believed to be in a private collection.

Possibly my favourite image from my recent trip to Skye, Also an image that I have had reservations about. After chatting on various WhatsApp groups I have decided to leave the river in the image to give a bit of balance to the house, but I a still not sure
This possibly the largest Fraser Memorial at Boleskine Burial Ground on the banks of Loch Ness has a toppled urn that once boasted an Eternal Flame. The toppled Eternal Flame now rest in front of the still proud commemoration. The whole structure of the historically stunning work has commanded a prominent place alongside Loch Ness just south of Inverness and of the battle site of Culloden Moor. I do not know what plans there are to either preserve, or to rebuild this prominent burial marker, not even if it maybe that there are more names and further generations to be recorded if new work goes ahead.

Possibly the most recognizeable feature of the Milky Way for northern hemisphere views during the summer, the constellation Scorpius is shown prominently in the image from May 2020. Shot with my new polarscope, my Canon 70D, and a 50 mm lens, this is actually 3 exposures of 90 s at ISO 800 and f2.8. This was my first attempt to concentrate on a sky-only image with the new mount. Arcturus anchors the constellation, but the Messier object (globular cluster) M4 is also nearly as prominent in the constellation. The dust clouds extending over most of the constellation are also prominent. The other feature that caught my attention in this capture is the three stars (apparently) closely packed in the upper left of the main cluster of Scorpius. The color is partly a result of capturing the image low on the horizon. Taken from Oak Flats in New Mexico.
Peace and Cheers!
Thomas the Apostle, also known as Didymus was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus according to the New Testament. Thomas is commonly known as "Doubting Thomas" because he initially doubted the resurrection of Jesus Christ when he was told of it (as is related in the Gospel of John); he later confessed his faith ("My lord and my God") on seeing the places where the wounds appeared still fresh on the holy body of Jesus after the Crucifixion of Jesus. While it is often assumed he touched the wounds in art and poetry, the scriptures do not say that he touched the wounds, merely that Jesus invited him to do so, with it being unclear if he actually felt them.

Bartholomew the Apostle was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus according to the New Testament. Most scholars today identify Bartholomew as Nathanael, who appears in the Gospel of John.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartholomew_the_Apostle
Andrew the Apostle also called Saint Andrew, was an apostle of Jesus. According to the New Testament, he was a fisherman and one of the Twelve Apostles chosen by Jesus. The title First-Called stems from the Gospel of John, where Andrew, initially a disciple of John the Baptist, follows Jesus and, recognizing him as the Messiah, introduces his brother Simon Peter to him.
Andrew the Apostle was born to a Jewish family in Bethsaida, in Galilee, possibly between 5 and 10 AD. The New Testament states that Andrew was the brother of Simon Peter, and likewise a son of Jonah.

Matthew the Apostle (Saint Matthew) was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. According to Christian traditions, he was also one of the four Evangelists as author of the Gospel of Matthew, and thus is also known as Matthew the Evangelist.
Matthew is mentioned in Matthew 9:9 and Matthew 10:3 as a tax collector (in the New International Version and other translations of the Bible) who, while sitting at the "receipt of custom" in Capernaum, was called to follow Jesus. He is also listed among the Twelve Disciples, but without identification of his background, in Mark 3:18, Luke 6:15 and Acts 1:13.

Mark the Evangelist or Saint Mark, was the person who is traditionally ascribed to be the author of the Gospel of Mark.
According to Christian tradition, one of the four evangelists, the author of the Gospel of Mark. Mark the Evangelist is included among the seventy apostles and is identified with Mark-John, a disciple of the Apostle Peter; he is credited with the role of the founder of the Alexandrian church, which later became one of the most important episcopal sees.

Saint Peter also known as Peter the Apostle, Simon Peter, Simeon, Simon, or Cephas, was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ and one of the first leaders of the early Christian Church. He appears repeatedly and prominently in all four New Testament gospels as well as the Acts of the Apostles. Catholic tradition treats Peter as the first bishop of Rome—or pope—and also as the first bishop of Antioch.
According to Christian tradition, Peter was crucified in Rome under Emperor Nero. The ancient Christian churches all venerate Peter as a major saint and the founder of the Church of Antioch and the Church of Rome,

Philip the Apostle was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus according to the New Testament. Later Christian traditions describe Philip as the apostle who preached in Greece, Syria, and Asia-Minor.
All three Synoptic Gospels and the Book of Acts list Philip as one of the apostles; he is always listed on the fifth place. The Gospel of John recounts Philip's calling as a disciple of Jesus. Philip is described as a disciple from the city of Bethsaida, and the evangelist connects him with Andrew and Peter, who were from the same town. He also was among those surrounding John the Baptist when the latter first pointed out Jesus as the Lamb of God. It was Philip who first introduced Nathanael (sometimes identified with Bartholomew) to Jesus. According to Butler, Philip was among those attending the wedding at Cana.

Фрагмент лівої сторони іконостасу - Апостольський (верхній) і Святковий ряди. (ХІХ ст., малюнок у стилі примітивізму). Церква Покрови Пресвятої Богородиці з Канори. Пирогів.
Ікони Апостольського ряду - святі апостоли зліва направо:
Фома
Варфоломій або Вартоломій (також Натанаїл, Bar-Tôlmay). Мабуть він був родичем або близьким другом апостола Філіппа, оскільки саме Філіпп привів Варфоломія до Ісуса, і в списках апостолів вони згадуються поруч.
Апостол Варфоломій — один з перших учнів Христа, покликаний четвертим услід за Андрієм, Петром та Філіпом. Варфоломій згаданий у списках апостолів в Євангелії від Матвія, від Марка, від Луки, а також в Діяннях Апостолів. Ім'я «Варфоломій» можливо є арамейським патронімічним ім'ям (за батьком) «bar talamai» — «син Талмая», де Талман — перекручене на арамейський лад грецького ім'я Птолемей.

possibly from the Paratoxodera family but we're not entirely sure. If anyone knows any different, do tell... :)
Possibly the work of a pine beetle (Dendroctonus), although there are many other kinds of bark beetle. All these photos show the large grove made by an adult female. The smaller grooves were made by her larvae as the bored outward.
Possibly one of the most poignant moments* I've ever captured.
This photo makes me feel such a conflict. On one hand, I know that falcons have to eat. But that dowitcher looks so helpless. It did dive.. but the water was too shallow.

I thought that my little secret was safe…After all, who could possibly find out about my little misadventure this early morning….It all started as I forgot to put my clocks forward to British summer time, making me late riser this morning…….…..Having gulped a cup of tea down, and picked up my guitar and raced to the garage……And slid down the side of the car in my tight garage having placed the guitar in a safe out of harms way place first……It was at that time my phone rang with someone asking where I was as I was late……Thus putting me under more pressure to make up time, as I struggled into the car and fired up the engine slammed it into reverse and reversed straight into my safe place…..And despite my revving engine You could plainly hear the strings pinging as they snapped as the guitar was crushed……I quickly gathered up the remains and put them in the boot of the car and rushed off to my meeting, in the secure knowledge that things could have been worse…For considering that all of the CraZyGang were still very much into British winter time and had no intentions of moving into British summer time this cold morning thank goodness, and would not have been awake to see or hear a thing…..Meaning…… I would not have to face any awkward happy questions about the demise of the guitar when I got home……Or so I had thought….For it would seem that Millie has a story to tell!!!!...And tell it she did…...But at least I can console myself in the knowledge that at least Maysie-May and Halo look suitably unhappy to think that they might never hear me play again !!!!!!!!! I mean just look that face of Halo to prove my point...!!!!!!
23/02/2016; The Adriaan, a windmill wth possibly the most unpredictable vanes. The little wind that was present this evening was coming from the north to northeast, however the vanes were directed towards the south.
This is Middle Falls on Mt Airy Creek. I made this single from the trail about 100 feet above the creek below on river-right. This is probably the best vantage point for a view on the length of the waterfall, as it is practically a slide. There is no way to reach the base of this waterfall from this view, or for that matter, any section of the creek except for the upper and lower extremities. The ridgeline trail is a straight vertical drop to the bottom with no hand-holds. This photo accommodates and portrays the length of the waterfall but how extremely steep it is viewed from this point. I did find a possible entry point about 100 yads downstream off the trail possibly leading down to the creek side, but I wouldn't even think of it without a 100-foot rope. Even if I were able to make it to the creek below, I'm not sure how visible the waterfall would be given the geometry of it's upper height and rhododendron overgrowth. I'm still going to plan an excursion to make it down though.
possibly a Geoglossum fallax ( Schuppige Erdzunge ) or close relative in our garden in Poole. Approx 3 cm tall
Possibly the first train up this line for nearly a month 37218 and 37425 operate 3J50 09:59 York Thrall Europa to Selby via Stocksbridge and Barrow Hill. See climbing up the old Woodhead railway line from Neepsend to Hillsborough (Wadsley Bridge) just behind Wardsend Cemetery. The cemetery is something else holding nearly 30,000 graves most dating back to the early 20th century and with woodland now spreading amongst the graves as it is doing on the old track bed either side of the remaining single track.
