This is the same Damselfly that was doing it's gymnastics yesterday, but taken from a different angle. The background is the plant in the photo below. I love how I captured it opening and closing it's mouth.
I went to the GP today about my wrist and he said that there is nothing to be done at this stage, except use anti-inflammatories and try using the splint again. He also said that it is not uncommon for De Quervain's Tenosynovitis to recur - that will be nice after being out of pocket $2,000 for the operation (apart from the pain).
Same camera, same film, same time 6:39 am- 6:40 am. Only difference is focus and metering. Who knew it could be that dramatic. Now how to reproduce intentionally.

It may be a New Year, but unsurprisingly the same Class 60 is on the Tunstead Sidings - Lostock Works limestone flow. Seen here leaving the WCML at Hartford Junction and heading towards the Mid-Cheshire Line, DB Cargo's 60 039 "Dove Holes" works the empty limestone JEA hoppers from their overnight stabling point at Arpley Sidings to Tunstead Sidings as 6H02.
Same owner since 1997.
One of many special editions, apart from it having the 1400 engine I guess the same as the Ghia, I don't know what else is special about this one. I think the wheel trims and colour are specific to the spec too.
It's done 82k miles in total and only does around 300-400 a year.

Many thanks for visiting my Flickr pages...Your visits, interest, comments and kindness to 'fave' my photos is very much appreciated, Steve
Bearded Tit or Bearded Reedling Notes:-
The bearded reedling is a small, sexually dimorphic reed-bed passerine bird (Sexual dimorphism is the condition where the sexes of the same species exhibit different characteristics, particularly characteristics not directly involved in reproduction. The condition occurs in most animals and some plants). It is frequently known as the bearded tit, due to some similarities to the long-tailed tit, or the bearded parrotbill. It is the only species in the family Panuridae. Wikipedia
Scientific name: Panurus biarmicus
1. Not a bearded tit
Despite its name, the bearded tit is neither bearded nor a tit! It actually has a moustachioed-look to its plumage and for a while it was considered a member of the parrotbill family, but now it is thought to be more closely related to larks.
2. Reedbed inhabitant
Bearded tits are the only British songbird to stay in reedbeds all year round. Originally they were limited by the availability of reedbeds in Britain, but thanks to newly created or expanded reedbeds, they are now more widespread and can be found in parts of eastern and southern England, Morecambe Bay in northwest England and around the Tay estuary in Scotland.
3. Occasional movements
Although bearded tits are not well known for migration, there is some movement in the autumn through local dispersal. On occasion, there is also an influx of continental birds from mainland Europe. They are more gregarious outside of the breeding season, and therefore tend to be easier to see.
4. Breeding behaviour
There are only around 630 breeding pairs of bearded tits found in Britain, most likely due to the fact that they are limited by habitat. They build their nests low down in the reeds, often on piles of dead reed stems. They will use specially designed nest boxes, which were created to bypass their susceptibility to flooding. They are prolific breeders that can have up to four broods a year, with four to eight eggs per brood!

5. Alterations
Bearded tits survive in the reedbeds all year round by changing their diet from insects during the spring and summer, to seeds in the autumn and winter. They cope with this by altering their gut morphology, and by eating large amounts of grit particles that help to grind down the tough seed fibres.
6. Vulnerability
Due to their range restriction, bearded tit populations can be vulnerable to particularly harsh winters, flooding and saltwater inundation into reedbeds. As a result local extinctions can occur. For example, in the cold winter of 1947 the East Anglian population decreased to just four or five pairs in Suffolk and a lone male in Norfolk. It is thought that the snow cover prevented them from accessing the seeds they needed to survive.
7. ‘Moustachioed tits’
Bearded tits are sandy brown with long tails, yellow bills and eyes. The males have grey heads with a conspicuous black ‘moustache’ that flanks the throat. Females are duller and lack the moustache. They have a distinctive ‘ping’ call when they fly, which you will usually hear before you see them.

During a lunch break in the last weekend in April, I had a chance to walk around Bryant Park. These are a few of the pictures I took...
Same as the pictures before, but instead of wood, a handlebar of a trolley with a rest of handlebar tape.

Shooting at Mesa Arch makes me think of this quote. Only we had closer to 100 people on that morning.

Vanaf acht hoog is het uitzicht altijd bijzonder. Het weer is nooit hetzelfde en de lucht is elke keer weer adembenemend mooi.
Zaandam, Nederland
From eight high, the view is always special. The weather is never the same and the sky is every time breathtakingly beautiful.

This is a bit of a cheat, well kind of. It's a picture of two parts, both shot at the same time, same place just needing totally different exposures. If I metered for the hay truck the sky became totally washed out, which wasn't what I was seeing.
My justification is that this is what I saw if not what the camera saw - and besides I shouldn't need to justify a nice image, so I won't. So shut up then…err okay!
I panned my camera over to the left a bit and got this image. Very few trees in southern California lose their leaves entirely. It would have been quite an interesting image of this tree was stripped of all its leaves (until the spring, of course), and then be in the foreground of this beautiful sunrise. But, one has to work with what they have, under the current set of circumstances.
The ambulance arrived at the same time as Sarah. Mandy looked so distraught, sobbing and shivering while both Sarah and Chris tried to comfort her. Sarah looked troubled too, but every now and then I saw her bite her lip and frown. She cried tears every time a police officer or paramedic asked questions, but something about it just didn't add up.
The others thought so too. Even Cashew sat there with his whiskers twitching. When the body was finally carried out the house covered with a sheet on a stretcher, the police cordoned off the area as it was now a crime scene.
'But this is my home,' Mandy wailed.
'Come on. Stay with me for a couple of days,' Sarah offered.
The police officer interviewing them nodded. 'Very well, but don't go too far,' she said.
We managed to sneak close enough to listen to forensics gather evidence, while another police officer guarded the front door. A third had been stationed around the back, but they didn't really think a few foxes outside the garden were the guilty party. My sibling companions hid well out of sight just in case, including Peritas, as I didn't want him mistaken for a stray.
'What can you hear?' whispered Cumin from behind the great willowherb shrubs.
'Shhhh, I'm trying to listen,' I said.
When finally the others quietened down and the police had stationed themselves comfortably, I was able to get close enough to the door to listen.
'Looks like a classic case of self inflicted poisoning,' said a forensic scientist.
'But why go to the trouble of drinking from this goblet? She gets herself all comfy in her chair watching television and decides to off herself,' said another.
'True, but there's no evidence to point to a suspicious death,' said the first.
'I wouldn't rule anything out just yet Duane. Isn't Claire that award winning artist? One of her paintings was rumored to be worth hundreds of thousands. Perhaps even a cool million. Imagine painting pictures like those on the walls and selling them for a million pounds. She'd be set for life.'
''Yes, I'm aware John. But she had no interest in wealth like that. She was happy here in this cottage in the woods. She made enough to live on and that was enough, by all accounts.'
A policeman stepped in with a steaming mug of tea.
'Rick, out the room with that mug. We cannot have you contaminating the evidence with more liquids,' said John the forensic scientist.
'Just overhearing your conversation,' Rick said nonchalantly, stepping back so he now stood in the doorway. 'We are aware of those rumors down at the station. My brother's the solicitor who helped her draw up the will. Claire intended to give all the money – all million and a half – to an animal charity. She wanted to make sure abandoned pets found good homes. That is a worthy cause if you ask me. I have a dog and a cat myself.'
'My kids keep begging me for pets. One wants a dog and the other wants a rabbit,' said John.
'How's that going to work?' asked Duane, as he sealed the goblet in an evidence bag. 'A dog and a rabbit? Imagine setting them both loose in the garden. Dogs are for hunting and rabbits, well, you know.'
'God, yes. Poor bunny!' said Rick. They all chuckled at the policeman's expression. 'But yes, the victim. I wouldn't rule anything out either. It may look like suicide, but as you say, why off herself when she's leading a perfectly happy life?'
'So happy she donated her fortune to charity,' John mumbled.
'Indeed,' said the policeman. 'And that's where I'm suspicious. Apparently my brother helped her draw up the will, but he hasn't received the signed copy back yet. She was supposed to send it to him by tomorrow.'
The forensic investigators both stopped.
'But if Claire hasn't signed her will . . . ' Duane said.
'Then it means her sisters receive all the money,' said Rick
I nearly chocked on the news. I was so startled I ran back to the others to tell them all I learned. I had to say it twice, babbling it out first in one long driveled line.
'Breathe,' Pistachio said. 'Tell us slowly.'
'Claire sold her painting for a million pounds and wanted to donate the money to an animal charity. She just had to send back a signed will to confirm. If she doesn't her sisters receive all the money,' I said.
The others all gasped.
'You know what that means, don't you?' said Pistachio as he twitched his whiskers towards the back door.
'We have motive,' said Labneh.
'Yes, but it also means the will is somewhere in that house!' Pistachio said. 'If we can find the will, lots of abandoned animals can find new homes.'
'Then what are we waiting for?' Cashew jumped into action. 'Peritas, we need that nose of yours. We have a will to sniff out.'
Snuggles from the sibling companions.
