Two years ago today I was in the remote Kwando concession in Northern Botswana on the Namibian border. Contact with the outside world was minimal, the only real news about the worldwide pandemic was via new guests.
Over the next few days I shall be posting a few choice sightings from exactly the same day 24 months ago.

Posting a shot from summer, on this winter's day.
Sunset. Somewhere beautiful.
I wish to you warmth and sunshine.
Cheers!
I couldn't resist posting another one of my favourite shots from my photo day with Amber, I still can't believe just how many bluebells were out that day! We are already planning our next meet up, so expect lots more from us in the summer :)
PS. My little write up and more pictures from my day with Amber can be found on my blog HERE ♥
Just posting one photo again today - I'm just not getting time to get out and take many new photos, and my motivation level keeps dropping! Thank goodness for archives!
This morning, 19 January 2017, the temperature is +2C and it's supposed to reach +5C this afternoon. Totally overcast, though. No snow to clear off my car, which will feel great when I go to meet a friend for coffee this afternoon.
I used to love photographing Eared Grebes, but the last couple of years have not been the best for them, in my own experience. Last summer, 2016, was so wet and I didn't get down to this area very much at all.
On 18 May 2013, I had so much fun trying to photograph three or four of these gorgeous Eared Grebes at Frank Lake, SE of Calgary. They were moving fast, changing direction, and diving suddenly. Took me a while, but I got some photos that I was happy with - and a lot that I still need to delete, ha. They really are beautiful birds. I love the patch of golden head feathers, chestnut-brown flanks, and those wonderful red "button" eyes. Always good to see them when they fly north for the summer here.
Posting this one in conjunction with the end of 2014. Good shooting to you all and look forward to seeing your new images in 2015. Wayne aka fotograzio
Re-posting this image, to celebrate the fact that it has been published on the cover of the latest 425 Magazine (see 425magazine.com/archive/). 425 folks licensed this image from me after finding it on Flickr.
I wish you guys a Happy New Year, good health and lots of achievements in this new year!
I saw Jaymes posting all his spidey figs and thought I should get in on the fun.
The advanced suit from the ps4 game was hard as fuck. Webbing makes me sad.
Doc Oc is kinda a mix of the ps4 and spiderman two versions. I wasnt a fan of the baldness in ps4 so I gave him hair.
Posting some images I haven't used (from different angles and so on) All taken earlier in the year and some not technically perfect, but I am informed by many good street performers this is often less important than the action.

Apologies for posting yet another photograph of a Hobby but this is the first year I have managed to get decent photographs of this species as they are pretty thin on the ground in West Yorkshire. But I had some amazing sessions in late September with this confiding juvenile that repeatedly captured dragonflies just above my head. I can see that this is a male Migrant Hawker that is being despatched but Common Darters also fell prey. Recent DNA evidence has shown that falcons are not closely related to eagles, hawks and buzzards but their closest relatives are parrots. The way this Hobby is holding and eating this dragonfly is certainly more like a parrot than a hawk. The BTO say there are 2800 pairs of Hobby breeding in Britain compared with about 1100 pairs of Merlin, 1,800 pairs of Peregrine and 45,000 pairs of Kestrel, making them Britain's second commonest falcon (out of 4). Although living in the Pennines, I see far fewer Hobbies than the other three.
I am checking your photostreams.
WIll be doing comments and catching up tomorrow.
I lost all recent activity pages except for the last 4 days.
In the Help Group I noticed I am not the only one, however it is extremely unhandy after having been on a break here.
How to return visits and comments from new people.
I mean, ... the ones I follow I visit anyway, but I feel a bit sad that I lost track on comments on the older photos and they were there. I might not have been active here, but I still enjoyed your photostreams while away, and checked my own activity every once in a while....what to do....
Will start posting from tomorrow as well....
Re-posting from 2024. Nikon P510 bridge camera, 1000mm zoom equivalent on full frame camera (plus 2x digital zoom).

Posting was for the birds...till flickr was fixed...I hear it's up and running now so this blue is for you!! Errrrrr FYI I pink'd this shot too! bahaha
-------> FOR THE BIRDS <----- come on its only 3 mins of your time and I guarantee you will smile, hell some of you might even laugh!! Gotta love that PINK bit at the end!! Just say'n!!
I am posting these shots of the Snowbirds in memory of the plane that crashed yesterday in British Columbia. One person died and another seriously injured. They have been flying across Canada in honor of the front line workers.-DSC_0977
As mentioned in a previous posting, since the 1970s, wild Ring necked Parakeets thought to have either escaped captivity or freed, have spread across S.E. England & into London. Not a native bird, originally from tropical countries such as Africa and India, they have adapted to our colder weather in suburban areas, where there is plenty of food and shelter. I spotted this fellow & his partner in our local park. They have now arrived in our part of N.W. London. He turned around to glare at me as I took a photo :) There is concern about their impact on native British birds, which is being monitored.

I'm re-posting this shot not because it's so different from the SOOC version I posted before, but because it's not.
It wasn't intentional, but aside from some sharpening and the warm toning I've been gravitating toward lately, this raw-sourced edit looks darn near identical to the Acros jpeg produced by the camera... which makes me very pleased with the quality of Fuji's B&W these days.
I also just love zooming in on this image to examine the texture.

Posting early this week because we are leaving for a week in the Wind River Range in Wyoming. Cheers!
Good Saturday morning folks, and hope a great weekend will be had by all.
I'm posting this image for a couple of reasons, first it is a lead in for the image tomorrow, and second it is with the new lens plus a 1.4 tele-converter @ full extension and @ 850-mm, and in m.h.o. not to shabby as you will see with the up-coming posts.
Have a great day everyone and thank you for visiting.
I’ll be posting a few close up pictures before I post the overview picture of my latest creation. It took over a month to build and it was madeto be part of BrickzLab’s “Project Blackwing” Collaboration inspired by the Legends Novel “Death Troopers”.
Put a lot of effort in editing the pics and choosing the best so I’d appreciate if you could check the full video out on my YouTube channel.
Thank you!
I'll be posting some 'Left-Over Halloween Candy' (aka photos from last Halloween) until
the pumpkins & decoration begin to appear for this year.

Sorry about the inactivity posting photos. I’m still trying to settle in here in California, so photo editing has taken a backseat. That said, I’ve been regularly heading to the Disneyland Resort at least once a week for the past 3 months (has it really been 3 months?!) since moving to Orange County taking a ton of photographs.
Anyway, tonight’s shot comes from the brand Spankin’ new Luigi’s Rollickin Roadsters in Carsland! It just opened this past Monday. I had the chance to ride this twice tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it with a smile on my face each time! Luigi’s cousins from Carsoli have come to Radiator Springs to Sing and Dance! At the end, they spin fairly quickly here creating these light trails with this long exposure.
This is the first winter that I have had Common Redpolls visit my feeders in the backyard. Since the weather is getting warmer, they will soon be returning to their summer homes far north.
I am posting the only photo that I was able to get of one in the sunshine.

Still posting from the archive! I do rather like this one though, it was taken late summer last year up on Ramshaw Rocks overlooking the mighty Roaches. She can't really see our house because she's facing the wrong way - if she did a 180 deg turn she might stand a chance!
Lola does like an adventure - she loves these rocks and big open spaces - will be going again very soon - no excuse as it's only a few miles away from home!

Tomorrow, I will be posting 5 'real' photos from my archives, lol.
After finding out that the computer store where I was going to get a data transfer done from my old computer to my new one, and learning that it would take 10-12 business days from the date dropped off, I knew I didn't want to be without a computer for that long. Friend, Bonnie, had recently had a different company come to her home to do the transfer, and was very pleased with them. I checked their booking site and saw that even tomorrow can be booked. However, I have quite a bit of tidying up to do first, but I will be so thankful, too, for not having to carry two computers somewhere else. Thanks, Bonnie!
"Whether it's a crossword, jigsaw, trivia, word searches, brain teasers or Sudoku, puzzles put our minds to work. Studies have found that when we work on a jigsaw puzzle, we use both sides of the brain. And spending time daily working on puzzles improves memory, cognitive function, and problem-solving skills." From the National Holiday Calendar website.
My mother, who died in 1998 in England at the age of 84, suffered from some form of dementia the last few years of her life. I try to keep my brain active as much as possible, and these jigsaws are just one way of doing so.
By the way, 300 pieces is the largest number on this jigsaw website. There just wouldn't be room on the screen for, say, a 1,000 puzzle. I love the pictures of some of these puzzles.
Coming across this photo in my camera roll, I figured it was worth posting.
Back in late 2021 Maine railroads moved potatoes by rail for the first time in three decades, if not longer.
Potatoes once made up a large majority of the AVR, BAR, CP and MEC's traffic. During the peak shipping months, the BAR could move solid 10,000 ton trains of potatoes from the county. But as we all know the mismanagement of the harvest in 1969 by Penn Central destroyed a good portion of the crop. The ensuing failure of farms from the incident, drove pretty much all of the business away from rail. From there on, the crop moved by truck.
Although the BAR tried to regain it by offering TOFC service, that too failed since the farmers freighted the trailers, which resulted in trucking companies refusing to move them when they got to the end terminal.
Then in 2021 a perfect storm of events hit. In Maine farmers had one of the best growing years on record, with perfect weather conditions and an unusually high crop yield. In fact, farmers found that they were running out of room to store them. At one point some farms trucked spuds to the former Loring AFB for storage in hangers originally built for B-36 "Peacemaker" bombers.
On the other side of the country, in Washington and Idaho things were much different. Floods in the spring, followed by a drought in the summer and more flooding at the start of harvest, decimated the crop. So much so farms lost large portions of the seed crop, used to grow the next years crop.
In order to replenish the lost stock, farmers turned to Maine. During the winter of 2021-22 potatoes were moved from MNR-CP-Pan Am-CSX-UP. The increase in traffic warranted a second spur to be built for Lajoie Growers in Van Buren. Spuds returned again in late 2022 and early 2023, however in much smaller quantities, this time going via CP.
While it doesn't appear the business will be a permanent fixture, it was nice to see the traffic return after a several decade long absence.

I set up today to take Molly's 6 month pictures. She only cooperated for a short time so I didn't get the "official" shot, but I thought these were worth posting anyway.
I added a backlight here to get seperation on the hat. Much improved!

Back to posting another five images from my archives. As usual, I will add the description from under a previously posted photo taken on the same outing.
HAPPY SPRING, EVERYONE!
Sunday, 20 March 2022: our temperature was 0°C (windchill -7°C) at 1:00 pm. Sunrise was at 7:39 am, and sunset was at 7:49 pm. We had a tiny bit of snow last night/this morning.
"What a huge storm we had last night - so much lightning and thunder and rain. After the serious hailstorm that hit the city the day before, and which I missed because I was out of the city photographing birds, I thought I would go for a short drive to my 'usual' area. There is a risk for a thunderstorm developing this afternoon and the same for tomorrow. Our temperature is only 17C as I type (at 11:15 am).
How is it that this pair of Mountain Bluebirds is good at seeing and catching Tiger Moths? Two years ago, the male of this pair also caught a Tiger Moth and gave me the chance to take a shot or two (see in a comment box below). I have only ever once seen a Tiger moth species, and it was unlike the ones in these two photos. They really are beautiful. I wonder if they taste as good as they look : ) I am always thankful when the Bluebirds are active, though before too long, their babies will have fledged and all will have disappeared.
I was happy to find a few different birds, including a family of Eastern Kingbirds, a Cedar Waxwing, a Bald Eagle, Red-winged Blackbird, and a very distant Great Blue Heron standing at the far edge of a pond."
I wasn't planning on posting anything for a while, but I was walking outside our homestay, and saw this really promising photo spot, I think the pic turned out great! I would have made the figs match more, but I wanted them to look more Tier one.
Sorry if I didn't tag you and I usually do.
Feedback is welcome.
God bless!

Back again! So I haven’t been posting as much DC stuff as I usually do so hopefully this fills that void since I’ll probably move back towards other stuff like SW and also other themes soon but I’ve been working on some DC heroes and I’m waiting for the Endgame sets to make a MCU barf which should be fun!
Anyways...

I mentioned a couple of postings back that winter is approaching and this area would soon be covered in snow. Well, over the past two weeks the Tekapo area has received a lot of the cold white stuff. Check out this link for views from the webcam on Mt John.....Lake Alexandrina is visible on the top set of images.

I am posting some art photography from Dave LaTrobe, who is nearly 90 this year. Much of his work include using the techniques of Posterization and Solarization all from analog positives and negatives. Much of this is a lost art in the photographic world.

While I will get back to posting birds, I thought I'd put up this landscape for a bit of a change.
The Painted Canyon overlook, in the southern unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, sits right along the main highway very soon after it enters the badlands. Here, I found my lifer lazul1 bunt1ng just by getting out of the car and listening, and I spent awhile shooting landscapes. This photo doesn't quite convey the apparent depth of the canyon you can see in person, but for a sense of scale, compare the trees on the top with the ones on the canyon floor.
An interesting tidbit of information about the park: the north unit is in central time, while the southern unit is in mountain time. Both are at similar longitudes, right near the ND-MT border; and both remain very far from the mountains themselves.
Hi everyone!
Just popping in, posting and running!
The weather was so beautiful at the beginning of the week, we all spent a good deal of time outside just getting some much needed fresh air.
I had my camera with me, but it's tough to concentrate on picture taking with a puppy on a leash and a 3 yr. old in tow! I haven't been taking too many pictures!
Now I'm lost in the world of home renovation.
Suddenly it's time to pick paint colors, wallpaper, flooring, tiles, countertops,rugs, appliances.
I need to get a plan so that when the people putting my house back together get to that part, I'll be ready!
As awful as this whole experience has been, I have to say, I am now getting pretty jazzed about getting my house re-done!
But my brain is about to explode trying to think about 1/2 dozen projects at once!
I'll try to catch up with everybody real soon!
I haven't been posting photos as often lately because my family and I are in the process of moving to a new house. We're almost done, but I also feel like I'm almost dead! It's been hard on us all. My dad and I started the day off with a truck full of stuff for the dump that weighed 1284Kg (2824Lbs) Then we went to the old house to load the truck again for the 9th time. I think one more load should do it, but that's been said before!
On the bright side, I'm super excited for the new location. (Seeley's Bay) It's further north, so there's less light pollution, which means better astrophotography. It's also cottage country, so there's tons of good views close by.
I took this photo on my first night at the new house. (this beautiful spot is just a few minutes drive from the new house)
I was amazed at how dark it is here. My ISO was set to 6400 for this shot! (I usually don't go higher than 3200 because of light pollution)
I can't wait to start exploring the new area!
