A Pronghorn Antelope doe takes one of her day old twin fawns for a run after cleaning up and nursing it.
When you are discontent, you always want more, more, more. Your desire can never be satisfied. But when you practice contentment, you can say to yourself, 'Oh yes - I already have everything that I really need.' Dalai Lama

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 :)
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!
My patented wine glass shot :) A good night for the practice on which a short window this time of year for this kind of shot.

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!
Europe, Greece, Aegean, Cyclades, Naxos, Wrecked and shot up trucks (slightly cut)
Let's continue with the ‘Gloriously dilapidated’ series. Whereas the 'roofrop racer' of the previous post in the end was restored, the trucks displayed here (a tanker and a dump truck) weren't so lucky, they were used for some shotgun target practice.
Captured on the isle of Naxos during one of our scooter trips there.
This is number 85 of gloriously dilapidated album and 28 of the Cyclades 2011 one.

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.."

Thank you so much for stopping by. Please do not offer suggestions ;)
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.

Created for the Toy Sunday theme, SPOOKY.
In the glare of the spotlight, the world fell away. The movements as repetitive as the mantra blaring in her head: Practice makes perfect.....
We went back and found the fledglings again. This chick was flapping its wings and taking short flights from branch to branch.
