The Sharpness Marina is secluded and quiet with no passing shipping traffic; yet, near to Berkeley with its various shops and businesses.
One of the most inland ports in Britain, the new dock at Sharpness was opened in 1874 and it is the eighth largest port in the South West of England.
The port which is situated at the beginning of the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal which serves as the gateway from the River Severn to Gloucester. The Canal passes through the Severn Way with all of its wonderful views as it follows the River Severn towards Gloucester.
The lensbaby can produce pretty sharp images as well as the soft dreamy looks. Depends on the aperture.

I haven't done any woodland photography for ages but the other day I woke up and looked out the window to be greeted by a light mist rolling across the treetops. Ok I thought, breakfast can wait. I grabbed a camera, 2 lenses, my tripod, and set off.
Twenty minutes later I was in one of my favourite local woodland areas trudging up the hill and into the woods.The light at first wasn't great but sometimes you just know that something special is about to happen. I then met a lady on the path and she said something like she wished she had a camera with her because she'd just passed through some gorgeous light. I said thanks and sprinted (well, maybe not sprinted, more like walked a little bit faster) towards the area she had indicated. I needn't have hurried at all. Within a couple of minutes I was surrounded on all sides by light spilling through the canopy and cutting great swathes of light through the fine mist that still lingered. It lasted a little under a half hour and then everything returned to normal. Sometimes you have to believe in magic!

(Anemone acutiloba) There are a few varieties of the hepatica in bloom at this time of the year. Only a few I saw were this deep purple color and they stood out so prominently. They are a delicate bloom about 2cm wide. I tried hard not to step on any along the trail.
This is a picture of Pholiota squarrosoides on the South Tract of the Patuxent Research Refuge near Laurel, Maryland.
When this hawk showed up in the yard it caused quite a stir around the feeders! The larger birds scattered and were gone in an instant. A few smaller sparrows and Chickadees were frozen in place in the shrubbery around the yard. The hawk tried to flush them out by flying at the shrubs in a menacing manner, and although he managed to panic a few out into the open, he didn't catch any.

Three days ago, on 17 February 2018, a small group of us headed way SW of the city - and into yet another snow storm. I kept checking to see if the trip was going to be cancelled, but fortunately, our leader had only read about the "few flurries" for the day. I had read further detail that said that a huge snow storm was moving into the area, bringing up to 25 cm of fresh snow, poor visibility, white-outs, treacherous roads! I knew taking photos was going to be a challenge, and seeing anything in the first place was going to be an even bigger challenge. So glad we went, though - even more so, that I wasn't driving, other than to our local meeting place in the city.
The main reason for the trip was to look for Golden Eagles, though of course we were happy to see anything else, too. Last year, we saw five, but this time we couldn't find any. With such poor visibility, they could still have been out there.
We did see Bald Eagles, though, and quite a few (mainly very distant) Sharp-tailed Grouse. At one location, they were on the road way ahead of us. I was able to get two or three closer shots of one of them, and managed to sharpen the 'best' one as much as I could, enough to make it just about fit to post. They are such beautiful birds. I thought we might see some small birds during the day, but we saw no Snow Buntings or Horned Larks. A very distant Great Horned Owl was seen in the yard at one of the places we always used to call in at when we were doing the annual Christmas Bird Count for the area. Also spotted a distant Merlin perched in a bare-branched tree.
Three Moose were seen - a lone Moose and then two together at a different location. The lone Moose had been standing but took a few steps and lay down in the deep snow. The other two were spotted when we were almost at the top of a steep, snow-covered back road. Our leader slowed down and, though I normally don't ask someone if they would stop for something, I did so this time. Oops, sorry, Tony, lol! We were stuck, unable to continue our climb to the top of the steep hill. Luckily, Tony is really good at reversing (and trying again)! There were also many Mule Deer to be seen, especially along the coulee.
I love the landscape in this whole area and always enjoy photographing it. This day, the weather was so bad that most of the landscape was just a faint shape in the distance, or else had completely vanished. Sometimes, it was difficult to tell if the distant shapes were actually hills or clouds!
A great day, despite the weather. Thanks so much, Tony, for the ride and for another most enjoyable day!
