Posting this for two reasons... er 3..
I actually had my camera in the car (1st time) to capture this on way to nursery...
Took this image, and by the time I reached end of road., this has disappeared and the rain came in.. it just went "pfftt!".. gone! So I was well chuffed....
Then when opening to view this... (this goes to show how observant I am when takin pictures).. I spotted the "little guy"... I took 8 pics of various positions and didn't notice him once...
I need glasses...
I am taking a few weeks break and I hope to be back posting again towards the end of May.
I leave you with another photo of a Robber Crab from Christmas Island. This one, I found clinging onto a side of a rock and that allowed me to photograph it from an interesting angle.
More about this photo on my Blog and Facebook page.
ITALY
Here are more images of Italy, this time from Florence, probably taken more than a few years ago. This is the second of two postings.
Continuing with my winter theme of posting dragonflies & butterflies I've rarely if ever posted ...
Lighting was tough but the two Great Pondhawks I saw that Christmas were lifers for me. They were noticeably bigger than our Eastern pondhawk. And adult males remain green rather than changing to blue.

I photographed 23 different warblers this spring (Late April to Late May)
I'm posting this photo while sitting in the lounge car with a beer on southbound Amtrak train 53, the Auto Train. We just flashed through Fayetteville in darkness on the old Atlantic Coast Line main and it made me remember the last time I was here.
So here is a look to tha last time nearly 7 years ago.

I will be posting a few flowers this week as I aim to complete my 100 Flowers Project for this year. Our friend Colin has Arum Lilies in various colours in bloom at the moment.
After posting a B&W hummingbird photo yesterday I felt I needed to go color today. I *THINK* it's a female costas, but you folks will know better than I.
Posting my last images from the No Kings Protest. This was just young man looking of modest means who was standing on a trash container.
Sheboygan has been in a pattern of late afternoon summer storms followed by spectacular sunsets.I am posting before & after photos of yesterday's storms.
Sorry, this is a bit delayed. Ive got a bit behind on my postings. This is from new years eve 2024/2025. Shot taken at Mullaloo beach at sunset. I could not resist this couple. They were having a video call with people in the UK. We see the new year several hours before Europe and other parts of the world. They provided good silhouettes against the vivid sunset colours.
Sorry I haven't been posting much lately. I got REALLY into Black Desert Online lately. It is so addicting! Anyways I will be posting more sl posts soon. For now, here is a photo of my tamer Tangeriine in BDO.
I wish all friends on Flickr a happy and successful new year! Thanks for all your visits, comments, faves, invites and for posting your great photos.

Posting my first picture, at the new place. Yes, she does look gorgeous. In my eyes, she is gorgeous inside and out.
This is my last posting to Flickr in 2008, and this is also the last sunset in 2008........! Looking back, 2008 was not a good year. During these months, unhappy episodes include financial tsunami in the develoed world, global economic recession, mega-scale earthquake in Sichuan of China, escalating conflicts in Middle East, increasing global warming with extensive worldwide environmental regression etc...etc. With the 2008 last afterglow was the aftermath of these unhappiness to wan and vanish behind the horizon. Wishing that 2009 brings along hope to replacing fear, discord and conflict when the world is again immersed with bright rays of shunshine!
I am posting this on the evening of September 16, 2025. I say that for a reason.
Here we see Amtrak #364, the eastbound Blue Water, pass under the 100+ year old Michigan Central coaling tower in Michigan City, IN, for the final time early on the evening on September 14, 2025. That is because the next day all Blue Water and Wolverine trains that share this route would be annulled for 5 days, and in only 23 hours after this picture was taken, the historic coaling tower would be nothing but a broken pile of rubble.
Early in 2025, it was announced that Amtrak would to demolish the Michigan City coal tower due to its deteriorating condition. Built sometime in the 1910's or early 1920's, the coal tower fell into disuse some time in the 1950s when the New York Central, successor to the Michigan Central, became fully dieselized. With its primary purpose no longer needed, the tower was just left to the elements as New York Central and all the successors to run today's Amtrak Michigan Sub abdicated all maintenance. Decades of surviving the harsh Northern Indiana/Southern Lake Michigan winters took their toll, and by late 2024, spalling concrete from the tower became a hazard to all trains that passed under it. September 2025 was when the tower was said to come down, but no one knew exactly when. Finally, when a 5-day service disruption notice for Michigan Service trains was announced, we knew that D-Day for the tower had arrived: Monday, September 15, 2025.
I first saw this tower back in early 2022 and managed to catch the westbound counterpart to this train, #365, the westbound Blue Water, on the final day of Michigan City's famous street-running of the Chicago, South Shore, & South Bend (the "last interurban in America") with my friend Bob Bannon. That image can be seen here:
www.flickr.com/photos/66708125@N03/53564326772/in/datepos...
We both vowed we'd be back to shoot the tower with more trains and in more detail. But about a month later, Bob would be diagnosed with kidney cancer and sadly pass away just over 11 months later.
I vowed I would make it back to catch the tower in Bob's memory, so when I heard of it's demise, I knew what I had to do. A very hot and busy summer at work prevented me from getting out to to pay final respects to the tower sooner, but I finally was able to make the trek on Sunday, September 14th.
I managed to catch 4 trains this day, with #364 being my last. Surprisingly, I was the only photographer to catch this train. Two others had stopped by to take photos of the tower, but they both left just minutes before the Blue Water passed. So here it is, the very final image ever taken of Amtrak #364, the Blue Water, passing under the Michigan City coal tower.
POSTSCRIPT:
Incidentally, two other towers were scheduled to come down on the exact same day: another on Amtrak's Michigan Service trains in Augusta, MI, and the famed tower in Nelson, IL, on the busy Union Pacific Geneva Sub. The Augusta tower was rarely-photographed due to only seeing 2 trains a day, but the Nelson tower was much beloved. The sudden loss of 3 towers on the same day all for different reasons raises suspicions and alarms all across the railfan community, and as of this writing, no qualified answer has been given.
Posting a series of 2018 photos taken during a flickr meetup with Rod.

As promised posting a few more shots of the Solar Eclipse I shot yesterday .Shot the Partial Solar Eclipse from my balcony. Have various stages of the same .Will post them .The reason for such a hype is its a total SOlar Eclipse visible in India, though I could see only partial being on the penumbra rather than umbra of the solar eclipse . Its an experience and I am so glad i could see this once in lifetime event. This started at 5.54 India time and ended at 7.18 India time. This the longest Solar eclipse of the 21st Century and only visible in the eastern parts of the world like India, China, Bangladesh, Japan etc . Many parts of the country had monsoon clouds so not many people could see this event . I was just lucky .
Good morning everyone. Today's posting is the 7th in a series of different grasshoppers photographed by yours truly, and as the title indicates the last I'll be posting this year on grasshoppers. Of which I'm sure many of you will be thankful about :-)
With that said, featured today is the Red-legged Grasshopper (Melanoplus femurrubrum), which without a doubt is the most common grasshopper found here locally. Especially this past season where in some areas such as the reclaimed strip mine that I visit often there seemed to be zillions of them. You couldn't take a step without at least a dozen or so jumping & flying away in front of you. But in spite of so many they aren't the best of photo subjects. Just not very co-operative when it comes to posing for pics.
As for these photos, I thought I would start the set off with a pic of a Red-legged nymph. Late stage instar, so it's not fully developed as evident by the undeveloped wings, which in the above photo look like a black triangle just behind the pronotum. As for the rest of the photos in the comment section and my stream, they're all of adults.
I hope you enjoy this last grasshopper series and as always, don't forget to click on "view previous comments" if you don't see the additional photos in the comment section. Even better, scroll to them by clicking on the arrow thingy to the right of the above pic. And if you want to any pic in the comment section large all you have to do is click on it where you'll also find the full text describing this very common North American grasshopper.
Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you're having a truly nice week.

Just getting around to posting these. Had a mountain of LR editing to get through...
Original Pittsburgh at Night photo. Don't ask why I use the date on some shots and random numbering system on others. I don't know, either.
After posting the Long-billed Curlew shot yesterday, I decided to use it to launch a series of shorebirds.
Though Whimbrels and Long-billed Curlews are similar in appearance, a closer look reveals that the Whimbrel's bill is quite a bit shorter and there are subtle differences in their plumage. And curlews are larger than Whimbrels.
We found this Whimbrel foraging in the shallow surf along the southern Oregon coast.
Posting way early because I am playing in K-W tonight. Finished at 2:00 am and probably crawl into bed at 4 am after I unload the drums. Sounds like fun, yes? It is a little bit but I will be totally wiped out tomorrow. Night night my flickeroos.
Posting some quirky shots from an outing at Shelby Farms, Memphis, Tn. This is a painted lady working the zinnia blooms.
After posting somber pics the last two days, I decided post something cheerful. I hope these pics of June puts a smile on your face.

Posting some more old stuff... dry riverbed between Tinghir and the High Atlas mountain range in 2013. New adventures SOON!
Just back home from a little break at my daughters in the Cotswolds and I'll have to edit some shots I took down there before posting. So here is one I had in the archives from earlier this year.
This is a fallen silver birch tree that was nestling in the marvellous beds of Ramson's in Hollins Lane Wood, near Silverdale last month. The aroma of the Wild Garlic hits you as you get out of the car here. I popped back the following day when conditions were very different, only to find that all this area had been decimated by a tractor that had been brought in to take this tree away. I suppose that had to be done at some point, but it was a shame to see all the plants crushed!
I am posting a series of four photographs to mark SG60. As always, there is absolutely no obligation to comment or fave.

An unseasonal posting from February 2021. It is a while since I have walked regularly, but when I do, I pass these trees as often as not, and, for things that are perhaps two-hundred or more years old, they change by the day.

Hello friends,
Something new from me. I was hesitant about posting this as this my first attempt at this type of photography and edit. But when I saw the back of my camera after taking it I knew I had to try. I should get better at these types of pictures since I never seem to sleep at night anyway. First time for everything!
I was listening to Stairway to Heaven when I started the process of posting this and had it titled as such. But the more I thought about it the more cliche it sounded. It does remind me of something similar to that though. Perhaps some of you will catch the reference to the title :) Even though it is imperfect in a million times I think the only way to see growth is by posting pictures along the way. It's astonishing to look back and see how we grow. I do that often with people here I follow. Some of you have been with me since the very beginning in my very humble efforts. Flickr will always be my first love when it comes to community. I have never experienced the same type of encouragement anywhere else that I experience here. Thank you for being with me on this journey, for growing with me and never failing to inspire me.
Love always,
Rachel

Today I am posting 2 photos of a boreal toad I found last year in Northern Washington. The first photo was shot at F7.1 to give more depth and to show more details in the forest and flowers in the background. The second photo was shot at F4 to have a softer more blurred out bokeh background where you can still see the forest but the details are obscured so as to put more focus on the toad. I would be glad to hear which of these photos you think best epitomizes the theme: "Into the Forest".
Thanks in advance for any comments and faves.
