Continuing on with posting Hare images from RSPB Havergate Island...
I'd waited around 4 and a half hours before an opportunity came to get an image like this. I fully appreciate this is nothing when working with a species like this, but I only had 5 hours on the island so I was beginning to think my luck was out. It was only when 1 decided to have a stretch and move around that it stirred another 3. They proceeded to chase each other around, sometimes coming within only a meter (far too close with a 500mm lens!). Obviously I was ecstatic but I'm not sure the feeling was mutual given this Hare's expression!
Summer is coming to a close, and unfortunately that also means an end to "randomly going out and foaming the Elbow Lake Sub after work" season.
Reno Twp, MN; CPKC Elbow Lake Sub; 7/19/2025
A location I've not visited since the days of departmental trains with 31s, 33s & 37's. Inspired by Alan H's recent posting a long overdue return to the A2 roadbridge between Bexley and Crayford was made. Here 60029 is seen passing the bridge, with the spire of St John the Evangelist (Bexley) church in the background. The train is the 0924 Willesden DC Rail Sidings to Grain Foster Yeoman GBRf aggregates empties, 6Z70. Anyone visiting this spot for this train, if in this pathway, be aware it's booked to pass Bexley at almost the same time that a Charing Cross bound up service departs from Crayford. On this day it (the up stopper) passed me less than a minute after the 60 had run through the picture, this spot being virtually mid way between Bexley and Crayford stations.
The second of three images I'm posting from my new favourite place in Wales!
To be fair, it's only about a mile from my previous favourite place in Wales, but hey, with age comes wisdom and refinement, right ? ;-)
I was taken to this location one afternoon in October by Greg Whitton and Lee Acaster on a (superb) workshop they ran. We went up to try to get some good evening light, but arrived nice and early with hours to spare. So I got a chance for quite a bit of roaming-around-handheld-snapping, just exploring and scouting spots for sunset. In the end I didn't get images I was pleased with from the evening , but looking back I actually quite like these earlier afternoon snaps... which give a sense of the place in all its wild, rocky grandeur.
If you want to see some proper, deeply classy landscapes from this neck of the woods, check out the quite brilliant Nicholas Livesey's stream!!
Amazingly, this is the 1000th picture that I have posted here on my Flickr photo-stream!
To mark this historic occasion, I thought it would be appropriate to show myself doing what I do for every photo-shoot – getting myself made-up, so I can look my best!
I don’t know exactly if or when I will be celebrating posting my 2000th image here on Flickr, but I do hope it happens some day! This photo-stream has been a gateway for me to have so many experiences that I never dreamed would be possible. It has been an amazing journey, during which I have made so many wonderful new friends - and discovered so much about myself. Some of these friendships have remained internet-based, while others have also acquired a face-to-face dimension. But all of my friends here mean a great deal to me, and I thank you for adding so much fun and happiness to my life - ever since that day back in March 2009 when I shyly posted my first three images online!
BTW.... reproduced among the comments below - for comparison - is one of the first three Rebecca George images ever posted on Flickr!
Love and Kisses to All!

SODALITY NEWS!!
Here is a brief guide to the final group of eight aristocratic ladies who are entered for our Sodality Trials next weekend! There are in total 32 entries for the trials, and a total of eight of these ladies will be invited to join the Sisterhood once the trials have been completed. This will make a new grand total of 21 titled ladies to comprise the Sodality. Breeding, brains, wealth and beauty are essential requirements for membership, but our trials will determine which ladies also have the moral decadence, corrupting sensuality and insatiable sexual appetites to qualify for full membership!!
I wish “good luck” to all of these wonderful women (and also to their ruthlessly cuckolded husbands!), in their efforts to gain entry to our notorious Sisterhood and Sodality of Pleasure!!
GROUP D
Lady Antoinette Stableford (“Toni”)
Auburn-haired former webcam girl Toni is currently married to Sir Montague Cockburn - her third aristocratic marriage in five years. To the delight of her husband, she has now developed into a key perfomer for “Rockfist” Shatterhand’s XXX “snooty porn” websites.
Lady Charlotte Stanhope (“Charley”)
This angelic blonde temptress has been a presenter and performer on several of the UK’s top adult TV channels. Her husband, Lord Sittingbourne, clearly relishes the merciless cuckolding he receives from his glamorous hotwife – both in private, and on-screen!
Lady Penelope Stockbridge (“Penny”)
Penny will be familiar to those who are close followers of my photo-stream, as she lives in a manor house quite close to Lyndon Towers, and has participated in a number of our lingerie parties and full-scale orgies. Her husband, Lord Pelham, is mustard-keen to see his glamorous raven-headed hotwife accepted as a full member of our wicked Sisterhood!
Lady Henrietta Stones-Bacon (“Pebbles”)
Just like Penny, Pebbles has been involved in some very immoral and outrageous activities on the fringe of our Sodality for quite some time. Her husband, Viscount Augustus Higgins, would be thrilled and delighted to see his blonde hotwife graduate to full membership of our decadent Sodality.
Lady Beatrice Strangefellow (“Bee”)
This fetish model and former high-class escort recently snapped up the extremely wealthy Duke of Chester as her spouse. One of Sir Henry Cobham’s former proteges, Bee and her husband have been in negotiations with Rockfist Shatterhand about using their ancestral pile in Cheshire as the UK headquarters for Shatterhand’s XXX “posh porn” videos.
Lady Teresa Teasdale (“Tessa” or "Tess")
Tessa is the ultimate party girl, and the amazing parties (i.e. orgies) at her husband’s ancestral pile near Durham are a legend across the North East, and indeed all over the country. Ice-blonde aristocratic beauty Tess has been married to the Marquis of Carlise for almost five years - and cucks him mercilessly. Needless to say, hubby dotes on his glamorous hotwife - and can’t get enough of her outrageous antics!
Lady Venetia Ward-Ponsonby (“Vee”)
A dark and sultry brunette, Vee has been happily married to Lord Clarence Sidebottom for almost six months, and has already defiled the marriage bed in almost every conceivable way. Needless to say, hubby approves! Vee now wants to become involved in the Los Angeles XXX "posh porn" scene. Her doting and already thoroughly-cucked hubby is 100% behind her!!
Lady Celia Wentworth (“Cee”)
This Amazonian redhead is a dead ringer for warrior queen Red Sonja, from the world of sword ‘n’ sorcery movies! Currently married to His Worship the Earl of Chiddingstone, Cee is looking to branch out beyond glamour and fetish modelling for Goth websites, and become seriously involved in extreme Female Domination movies. Chad Bronkhorst is interested in Cee as a future star, but I have a feeling that her pervy aristocrat hubby would like to play a leading role himself in masterminding the development of his wife’s career as a BDSM Porno Goddess!
Next: the trials themselves! Which eight ladies will prove triumphant - and be invited to join the Sodality?
Just got back from Malta...........nice to have the internet, looking forward to posting a few and catching up with everyone!
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.
There is no snow at my home this winter, so I'm posting the photo from my short summer trip to the Upper Tauern (Hohe Tauern) in Austria. I took the photo in August, sitting in the cable car going from Weißsee to Medelzkopf.
Tauernmoossee reservoir is located at the end of the Stubach Valley in the Salzburg province, at the altitude of 2023 m. It is 3 km long and 1.2 km wide. With an overall length of 1,100 m the Tauernmoossee dam is one of the longest curved dam walls in Europe.
The two highest peaks are (from left to right) Kitzsteinhorn (3,203 m) and Hocheiser (3,206 m).
Here is another view from the same place, and another lake -- Weissee.

Nope! Pixelmama is NOT confused!! I'm posting my Fence Friday a day early, as I am out the door as soon as I post this {sorry for the post & run}!
I will be taking an extended Flickr break … and to be clear; I won't be regularly posting … but I might be popping in now & then to see what everyone is up to {WIFI is Everywhere}! And it is quite possible that I might post something from the road ... like a photo of the world's largest ball of string ... or something along those lines! :-)
It is also a given ... that I might will post a photo of my new grandchild {rumored release date: 03/27/2012} ♥♥♥
"So … what we've got here is …" a fine pair of weathered beach fences, gracing the sands of Lake Michigan at North Avenue Beach in Chicago. Don't let the warm colors fool you! That is ice on the distant lake!

Happy Fence Friday on a Thursday!
I really want to thank everyone for your comments and visits. They are always greatly appreciated!
Posting a load of stuff that i have been messing about with recently. Stuff that has only half-satisfied me, but i need to get over and move-on.
You thought Hell was gonna be all Goth and black? YOU WERE SO WRONG! its classical and organised :D
The vampire series is over, so I figure it's about time I started posting some "normal" pics, lol!
This is from my archives, and was taken at a local park by the river in Holly Hill, Florida, just north of Daytona Beach. Late afternoon, just before sunset, is my favorite time of day. The way the sun lights up the foliage and paints the clouds with color is hard to beat. Although many of you have beautiful sunrises where you live, here, it's the sunsets that are impressive, even if they aren't over the water!
The Daytona Beach area is on Florida's east coast. The closest place we can find to see the sun set over the water is at the inlet, where the river and ocean merge, but it's not quite the same as seeing it over the ocean. The sun sets over the river when viewed from the east, but not on the horizon. There are always trees and such behind the water. We get the sunrises, but the shades are much softer and more pastel usually, so not as dramatic or vibrant. The indirect sunrise effect over the river or beach is still stunning, and the clouds usually make up for anything lacking in not seeing the actual orb of the sun.
Happy Fence Friday, Everyone!
Just for the record, I am SUPER sick of Flickr's glitches! Today it's the I can't change my icon and it took 5 tries to change the image on my page, too problem! Lately, it's been everything from uploading issues to triple spacing when you send a Flickrmail! I hope the Smugmug guys get this junk fixed soon! Paying more for the privilege of being constantly annoyed isn't going to cut it. AND while I'm on that topic, how about lifting the ban on some of us who can't get a photo into Explore to save our souls simply because we've used vignettes or framing! It's been about 6 years since my 263rd Explore pic made it in. Nothing since then. There's no one to ever complain to, either. Grrrrrrrrrr..... Okay. Got the pics changed. What's next?
St. Patty's posting part 3 is the photo that originally gave me the idea to hide it until today. Here's a steaming U717 southbound at Fens along an icy highway 7.
Taking a break from portraits to do a fun piece.. after drawing the white horse , in itself to be a study,, Europa, the 6h moon from Jupiter , kept coming to mind and thus the platform for this drawing......I guess NASA and I have common ground with this one.... I have done more work since posting and will share the results soon.. thanks everyone for your visits and comments !
Posting some fun surfer shots taken while in Ocean City the last time there. Here a fellow surfer dives to get out of the way ...

Posting some old stuff before new new adventures arise.
This wasn't my hotel. We were staying in some shitty hotel along the Malecon with cold water showers and worn out matresses.
I know Im posting a lot of Venus images but Im trying to improve my technique.
Previously Ive used the Baader UV filter but here Ive used the Astrodon UVenus filter as it is said to have greater transmission in the UV. I was certainly able to reduce exposure times whilst keeping gain and %histogram the same - that resulted in many more frames per 2 minute video run.
I removed another one of the spacers in my Baader modular VIP Barlow so just x1.5 magnification here taking total magnification to about 6000mm f/30 and an image scale of 0.1 arcsec/pixel - still a bit higher than I would like.
Also getting comfortable using an ADC - usually needs just 0.5 or 1 "stop" for this target at 21 degree elevation.
Seeing was moderate for my site

I've been posting mushroom pics from this walk for almost a week now, and the colours on these are very autumny. But in fact the whole day was drab, dark, very oppressive. Even at midday it looked like the sun had already set.
It's hard to capture it in photographs, as most modern cameras have a tendency to 'correct' the image into something lighter, but I gave it a shot anyway.
Just posting a couple more photos of my LMV, without minifigs this time so that some details are easier to see. In this pic I've dropped a Brickarms ammo can into the driver's side door box to show that it fits quite nicely (though it looks a little crooked here). You can also see that I've mounted a dirt bike on the rear lift gate. I've read that the Australian SASR often do that on their existing vehicles, so that the dirt bike can be used by the team for route reconnaissance.

Apologies for posting what must be a very similar image to hundreds of other pics, but looking back through the files, I noticed this sequence that I'd never bothered to process.
But to me, it represents the very essence of Sandaoling - a smattering of snow to lift the normal horribly black track bed, the telegraph wires long done with carrying messages, the Arizona style red rock escarpments, and of course, the JS loco working to it's limit, throwing up a voluminous exhaust plume that only happens when temperatures have sunk to -10C and lower.
It's the reason we keep going back there. And when it's gone, it will be quite difficult finding the inspiration to continue with steam photography.

Great little place to hangout with friends. I'm posting this early, but I'm sure it's already Friday somewhere..:) because I have a lot to do tomorrow. I will get around to everyone, you can count on that.
I am falling behind with editing and posting photos from several outings, not to mention still having almost two weeks' worth of photos to go through from our trip to Ontario and Quebec. Tonight, I decided to post a few shots from our annual Bluebird route evening outing with Don Stiles.
Yesterday evening, 28 June 2018, a group of us met at 6:30 pm and went SW of the city with Don, who has been a dedicated Mountain Bluebird Monitor for somewhere around 40 years! It was getting on for 10:00 pm when I finally arrived home.
I'm adding a link to a CTV News article from 12 August 2015, about Don and his son, Andrew. Also a link to Andrew's birdhouse-building blog. Two great guys : )

This drive is an annual trip along Don’s Bluebird Route. We get the chance to see Mountain Bluebirds, Tree Swallows and Wrens nesting in various wooden nesting boxes along the country roads. Some boxes have eggs in the nest, others have tiny babies all packed tightly together. I have seen them before on several other trips with Don and have photos in my Mountain Bluebird album.
Along the route, we saw a few other bird species, including this beautiful Swainson's Hawk. It took off just as I clicked, and I didn't think I caught it in time. However, I did get this slightly blown-out capture.
Many thanks, as always, Don, for letting us come along with you. It is an evening I look forward to every year, and I could tell how much everyone enjoyed themselves. We appreciate how much time over the many years that you have spent taking care of these wonderful little blue birds. They bring such joy to people each spring.
Added next morning - a few of us took part in a bio-blitz yesterday, 29 June 2018, at the Rusty Bucket ranch, near Bragg Creek, west of the city.. My next few photos will be from this outing,
So, still on the trip of posting stuff I've been meaning to post for a while. I'm enjoying it I must say. Clearing the decks so to speak, at least a little, whilst I slowly march my way through a whole heap of editing and sorting. Egads those photo things can get out of control if one isn't careful!
This'll be the last post for a few days though, so I hope all y'all enjoy it.
Posting a few extra photos from Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive from yesterday. Still have a bunch of really cool shots to share. There are the ones that didn't quite make the cut as deserving stand alone posts.

A departure from norm of what I’ve been posting, but there was a special celebration in New Jersey. Today March 8th, 2014 at the “Rock” otherwise known as the Prudential Center in Downtown Newark, the New Jersey Devils Franchise celebrated the twentieth anniversary of their first Stanley Cup in 1995 when they were still playing what at that time was called the Brendan Byrne Arena in the New Jersey Meadowlands Sports Complex by holding a ceremony prior to tonight’s game that I unfortunately could not get tickets to. They brought back much of that team including the victorious coach Jacques Lemaire and most of the players & heroes including recently retired goaltender Martin Broudeur, number 30 and the ‘captain’ Scott Stevens number 4. To commemorate that special memory, I’m posting this last image of Marty Broudeur that I took at the Prudential Center in March of 2012 at a game I went with son to where the Devils beat the visiting Philadelphia Flyers the last season that they made a Stanley Cup run losing to the Los Angeles Kings.
Martin Pierre Broudeur who will surely find his way to the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto Canada, is the National Hockey League all time leader in wins (691), losses (397), shutouts(125) and games played(1266) and led the New Jersey Devils Club to 3 Stanley Cups in 5 Stanley Cup Finals appearances, 2 Olympic Golds for Team Canada. Congrats to all those players who brought New Jersey it first title against the Detroit Redwings and now that the Nets are in Brooklyn, New Jersey’s only team.
Taken with Olympus Evolt E-510 with 70-300mm F4.0-5.6 lens tone-mapping with Photomatix and cleaning up with Adobe Lightroom.
NJ Devils Happy 20th for 1995 Cup!
Posting six more old photos that were taken by my father many years ago, all taken before 1944.
I don't have the date that this photo was taken. All I know is that it was taken before 1944.

Tonight, I am just posting a few odds and ends. Recently, I have been taking so few photos and I have no energy to go through archive folders. What I really need is a good day's drive with lots of photo opportunities : )
As usual, the Calgary Zoo is where I find different or colourful things to see and photograph. This was my last visit before the COVID pandemic started.
I am adding the description from one of my previously posted photos from the same visit.
"I finally got as far as the Calgary Zoo, on 12 September 2019. The last time I was there was on 26 June 2018 and the time before that had been 6 October 2015. I used to go several times a year, but the long gap from 2015 to 2018 was because of major road construction and a bridge replacement right by the Zoo. Anyway, it felt good to be back there almost two months ago.
My visit only covered a small area of the Zoo, as I usually spend a lot of time in the Conservatory, enjoying the plants and tropical butterflies. I did call in to see the Giant Pandas one last time before they leave the Zoo after their five-year visit. (The cubs were due to go back to China this fall, but now will be staying in Calgary till early 2020.) How lucky we have been to have these four amazing animals visit our Zoo. They were in an inside enclosure, full of plants - and Bamboo, of course. The Zoo had another Panda visit way back in 1988, but they only stayed for seven months. The Conservation Status of the Giant Panda is Vulnerable, with fewer than 1,800 giant pandas left in the wild.
A few hours well spent, happily clicking. Hopefully, it won't be so long before my next visit, though the west entrance does close each winter, and the north entrance is out of my driving comfort zone. It felt so good to once again be back in a place full of colour and interest.
It also feels good to have some colourful photos to post this morning, as it is a very overcast day, with a temperature of 1C (windchill -2C). It must have rained last night, then snowed lightly this morning, or vice versa. More snow forecast for tomorrow and the next day. Shortly after this September Zoo visit, we had a major three-day snow storm. I reckoned there must have been about 10 inches of snow on top of my fence and, sure enough, 10.6 inches (27 cm) of snow was recorded. Further south, in Waterton, they received 37.4 inches (95 cm) of the white stuff."
Posting three photos (no energy to post more). taken earlier today, 28 April 2021. It is shortly before midnight, but tomorrow morning, I have to be up really early, as I have to move my car from the parking lot early. Time for the annual spring cleaning of the area. I don't have street parking, so I need to be ready to go off 'somewhere' earlier than usual. Haven't decided where, yet.
I desperately needed to get out somewhere for just a short time this afternoon. The workmen did less loud banging on my walls today, but three weeks of this already and many weeks more, is pretty draining. I had a message from a neighbour today telling me to check for water leaking into my place. She was getting leakage from her neighbour and it could have spread along the main support beam. After checking my home, I couldn't see any sign of water or water marks, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Too many things going wrong at the moment!
It was reasonably sunny this afternoon, but it was quite windy. I had to hang on to my hat while trying to take my photos, but it felt so good to actually see some birds! Happy to see Hooded Mergansers, Redheads, Mallards, a Robin, and of course, a Canada Goose. It was a treat to see a Horned Grebe (more than one), as I rarely see this species. Best of all, it was quiet where I went - just me and an occasional person who walked by. I only stayed for maybe half an hour, but it was a break I needed. Felt good, Wow, it is supposed to get up to 21C tomorrow! The next day's forecast looks good, but then we are supposed to get rain on three of the four following days.
