Last evening the fire department had a controlled burn/training for new cadets. 19* out and Dave was gone for a good seven hours. I rode out for a few hours. One has to salute these men and women for their dedication.

Nothing too special, i was out last week wanting to test a new filter, i didnt use it for this shot. While i was out there was a nice sky formation and i wanted to practice with reverse grads ahead of my holiday to Northumberland (just 3 months to go). Despite having the grads 6 months i havent really given them a work out. This sky was made for them- i dont know what it is about filter slides when they just pop an image you cant help but smile, one they were worth the cost and two i dont need to sit at a computer and mess around editing, so much easier this way :)
A few more shots from earlier in the year before I introduce my new Barnie.
Eye to eye contact with an owl at close quarters, can it get any better?

Taken in our garden.
We think this is a Mayfly and probably the Large Dark Olive Mayfly Beetis Rhodani. If it isn't I hope someone will set us straight. The flower on the other hand, is definitely a clematis - Betty Corning.
At first I didn't know he was there. I took a single photo to upload to the big monitor to see if there were stamens inside and there he was, all blurry. So I went back out and made his acquaintance!
Majestic.
Thank you all so much for the kind comments. Really appreciated!
Albert showing off again.
I love the Kayakers positive attitude,what a selfie that would have made!
Albert's fame has spread far and wide. My pictures and Albert's fame, last year made four national newspapers, online and in print. Two South West papers and a two minute slot on the ITV South West news with me being interviewed!

The background is one of the residing hostels
It is very old dating back to 1963.
PS : This is my Undergraduate ( a government institute) Alma mater from where I did my bachelors in Mechanical engineering.
I stayed in the same hostel during the period from 1992-1996.
I visited my alma mater again in Dec 2022 after passing out from it in 1996
Had a chance to practice the art of flight a little more yesterday with the drone before leaving the Isle of Harris.....took a drive on the north eastern side along the 'Golden Road'.....beautiful....saw this bay and took advantage of the light breeze (most of the time it's pretty windy!!), if you look carefully you should be able to make out the cables, fences, walls and other traces of mans influence on this magnificent and diverse coastline.

Red-winged Blackbird landing on a young aspen tree. With the proliferation of new trees came many new feathered friends.
"The Red-winged Blackbird... has scarlet-and-yellow shoulder patches they can puff up or hide depending on how confident they feel. Females are a subdued, streaky brown, almost like a large, dark sparrow.."

Shortly after weaning, young elephant seals progressively go into shallow inshore waters where they discover a new environment and learn how to use it. With no urgent need to find food, they quickly become curious about everything around them, including a diver.. Possession Island (cold) waters, Crozet Archipelago.
The Geese are practicing their V formation as part of their fall ritual. The sounds of them squawking away as they fly overhead in large flocks is a sure sign the season is changing. I watched these geese take off together and I was impressed at how close they were beside each other. They were able to co-ordinate the movement of their wings so they did not bump into each other.
Leaving nothing to chance, Harry steps up his game to be as spooky and scary as he can before October.

Practice to get new greys from other colours. I used Mars Black, Lemon Yellow Deep, Opera Rose, and French Ultramarine .
In the glare of the spotlight, the world fell away. The movements as repetitive as the mantra blaring in her head: Practice makes perfect.....
“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
- Muhammed Ali
