For all the years I've injected insulin I had no idea pharmacies will give you a Sharps Collector and take in back when it's full. I asked about this service and got mine today.

Pretty on the shell, but feels quite awkward...it doesn't feel right and I keep making mistakes with it. Argh!
This is a crop of a test shot of my bookshelf I did to see how sharp an image I could achieve with my D300 and Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G lens. I shot at f/8 with an SB600 flash at max output, using a remote trigger and mirror up mode. It turned out really well - even at 300% edges are sharp and fine detail is visible. This is also a Lightroom test to see if its 90% JPEG setting yields visible artifacts in images with fine detail.

The mating routine of sharp-tailed grouse involves males displaying communally at a traditional site (one used year after year). This site is known as a “lek.” Males compete for mates by performing a ritualized dance in conjunction with calling (often a booming sound) and inflating purplish air sacs along their necks. Females approach the edge of the lek, observe and eventually select a dance participant to mate with.

I never asked, nor wanted more than I needed: A kind word,
a soft touch, a true feeling, warmth, understanding...
Couldn’t she see?
Sharpness, I got;
Cold, I got;
Lifeless, I got;
Tired, I got;
Challenges, I got;
Contests, shouting, elbow and back, all these I got!
Warmth, I wanted; Not much, I wanted; touch me, I wanted;
softness, I wanted; A smile, I needed; love, I craved!
I quickly turn away and where I look I see shadows.
Must I chase shadows for the rest of my life?

The extensive Boat of Garten station features its original buildings, dating from 1904 by the architect William Roberts. It was originally a parallel junction between the Highland Railway's main line from Perth to Forres and the Great North of Scotland Railway's (GNSR) branch to Craigellachie - this was the original Strathspey Railway, the company being a subsidiary of the GNSR. Today there are two passenger platforms and the yard stores the majority of the SR's out of use rolling stock.
Boat of Garten also has the railway's only water column where the locomotives stop to take water on their way north through the station. There are two signal boxes, Boat of Garten North and Boat of Garten South and signalling uses traditional British Railways mechanical semaphore signalling; it is the crossing point on the line when there are two trains running.
Most of what visitors to the railway see today is original from the days of British Railways. The main layout of the station has not been altered significantly, with the exception of the extensive yard behind the signal box. The turnout that formerly allowed access to the yard without having to access the headshunt was removed before the line closed and there are no plans to re-install it.
Leaving Boat of Garten, trains cross the road on the new single track box-girder bridge and pass the site of the original GNSR engine shed; long demolished, it is now the site of a permanent way depot. The track had been lifted and structures demolished by British Rail after closure of the line in the 1960s. The railway passes though mainly farmland on the re-laid track, which was mostly recovered from Kincardine power station in Fife in the 1990s. The tracks to Craigellachie and Grantown had originally left the station extending in a double track formation as far as Croftnahaven, where the GNSR line turned sharply south east and crossed the River Spey. This arrangement was adopted because a signal box for a junction here was deemed too expensive.

Not much going on out there these days, but if you persevere something interesting always turns up. This little hawk surprised me by perching very close to me on a fence rail, and when he flew off, I really wasn't expecting him to land in the field almost as close as when he was perched.
