Well, after being locked out of my account for ages I've finally got back onto Flickr!! Here's an image which seems to be popular on facebook at the moment - a colourful Roller photographed in Serbia.
The Steamfest is held every Labour Day Long Weekend at Sheffield in Tasmania. It is a great festival devoted to celebrating the machines that built the modern world. A large number of volunteer enthusiasts work tirelessly to put the program together, and thousands of people enjoy it over the three days.
This year at least 12 major steam driven vehicles were on display, and I aim to give you a look at some of them in this series over the next few days. Each of these steam engines have been lovingly restored and are truly exciting to see in all their glory.
I will quickly add here that I am no expert in this field and would invite any comments or information that enthusiasts can provide. You are most welcome to contribute.
It's fitting here to begin with a black and white image of "Susie". This Aveling & Porter Steam Roller was built in 1928 and has a six horsepower engine. It was used in road building by the Fingal Council before being sold in 1957. It was fully restored in 1980 by Eric Howe, and its current livery comes from owners Terry and Sue Dooley who bought it in 2009.
A very rare weather phenomena happened today in Ohio! Last night, high winds associated with a frontal passage made these "snow rollers". They're like nature made snow balls and I have waited so long to see them!
I had in mind the idea of Roller Girl from the film Boogie Nights and wanted to use the idea in the Challenge - I was lucky to have these fab vintage Barbie Generation Girl Roller skates and this dress is possibly the only yellow item of clothing that my dolls have... so bingo! Roller Girl is ready to roll!
Lift Off!!
Waiting at least 10 minutes for this bird to take off was fun! Which direction would it fly? Being 100% ready every second is the key to success here, as this bird is very fast!
The Lilac breasted roller hunts from low positions, so it can see bug fly overhead against the sky. It will dart off the perch, race into the sky, and capture the prey!
One of my top favourites, as this bird has wonderful colours.

A snow roller is a rare meteorological phenomenon in which large snowballs are formed naturally as chunks of snow are blown along the ground by wind, picking up material along the way, in much the same way that the large snowballs used in snowmen are made.
Unlike snowballs made by people, snow rollers are typically cylindrical in shape, and are often hollow since the inner layers, which are the first layers to form, are weak and thin compared to the outer layers and can easily be blown away. Snow rollers can grow as large as a foot in diameter.
The following conditions are needed for snow rollers to form:
The ground must be covered by a layer of ice that snow will not stick to.
The layer of ice must be covered by wet, loose snow with a temperature near the melting point of ice.
The wind must be strong enough to move the snow rollers, but not strong enough to blow them too fast.
The ground must have a slope, at least where the snow rollers start rolling.
Because of this last condition, snow rollers are more common in hilly areas. However, the precise nature of the conditions required makes them a very rare phenomenon.
Seen in Sarasota’s Rosemary District, the artist is local resident Ha Pham. Born in Vietnam, she came to the United States at a young age.

Antwerp National Zoo.
Antwerp Zoo (Dutch: ZOO Antwerpen) is a zoo in the centre of Antwerp, Belgium, located next to the Antwerpen-Centraal railway station. It is the oldest animal park in the country, and one of the oldest in the world, established on 21 July 1843.
Another common specie but the scene was very tempting not to make images. The light, background and the perch everything was screaming out loud to be captured under the lens.
Booking for 2018-2019 Season has started. If you are interested for Manglajodi and Bhitarkanika, please contact me. This image was made in one of the photo tours this year.

We spent several days visiting an area where there were a maze of valleys and ravines. Good area for Rollers. This is one of a pair that became more confiding in our presence as our visits to see them increased and as we found out later. Photographed from car 4x4. Kit nets bean bag long lense patience, and luck .No disturbance to these beautiful birds.
