This shy, solitary bird, that usually prefers the quiet, heavily wooded backwaters of the river, is being seen more and more often, largely due to the lack of tourism... His crepuscular activities contribute to his retiring behaviour...
Finding him out in the open was wonderful sighting...
What a welcome sight, as it has been decades since I last saw WM SD40 7471 in Michigan. It's back again leading the kids to Santa along the Great Lakes Central toward Ashley with the SRI train out of Owosso - November 20, 2022.
Last night (12 Aug) at 9:30 pm I received a phone call that Tidda was running at full speed on this bridge, trying to get home! There are big logging trucks going over this narrow bridge and even at night there are trucks and traffic with gaps only just long enough for a dog to run across at high speed. It was a bold and daring move but her only possible way home.
Unfortunately, once again people trying to catch her drove her to turn around and disappear into the bushes on the wrong side of the river again. I was there within 10 minutes - I was in such a rush that I even forgot my phone - but could not find her. I called her and walked around and then later sat near where she disappeared until almost 5 a.m.
Still no Tidda, but this new sighting is very good news. She is well. She is remaining in the area. She is trying to get home. She still has her leash on.
I can refocus my strategies and am really, really hoping for a reunion in the near future!!
Length of bridge 1938 feet, 591 meters.
Width 26.9 feet, 8.2 meters.
Built 1932.
Average daily traffic 6200.
Great views in North Dorset yesterday of Marsh Fritillary (Euphydryas aurinia) butterfly-conservation.org/butterflies/marsh-fritillary
However, star of the show was arguably singing Nightingale (Luscinia megarhynchos). That is a sound that I haven't heard in the wild for several decades. I did make a recording but haven't figured out how to download and edit it. So here is a YouTube clip of their wonderful song
The gills were not quite right, they were dozens of them and a lovely sight, up to 65mm across cap.
Keele University Staffordshire UK 30th October 2021
I was asked to show some of my architectural images in a solo exhibition, my first, in a local Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, barber shop that hosts other art exhibitions.
It opened on 13th October 2021 and ran until 26th November 2021.
This triptych consists of 3 of the 14 images that I exhibited in 'Sight Lines'. Their locations all happen to commence with an 'H'", from left to right: Hackney Wick, Halifax and Huddersfield. All three of these photos are elsewhere in my Flickr stream, although I haven't shown the Huddersfield shot in black and white before.
Thank you those people who visited the exhibition.
The sun is sure to shine
For you and me for everyone
So don’t be sad it’s just the start
Of a new beginning in your life

Explore #480 Well after about 45 days we finally got a sunset of any note. I looked out the window and squealed when I saw it, it was such an unfamiliar, yet comforting sight ;)
There is a series of new advertisements on the television here at the moment. They are about (un)complicating your life, (un)stressing (un)winding and generally putting more (un) into your life.
It goes on to say.... does it really matter if for one night in the week the kids have toast for dinner, or the floor does not get mopped for a few days (weeks...lol) but that is is more important to (un)wind...
I am really liking these ads for some reason, and I am not a TV ad junkie kinda gal. lol But the message there is solid and (un)deniable.... we do need more (un) in our life.
So what things do we need to (un) up in our day to day routines?? that will make our lives less (un)comfortable and more (un)deniably wonderful lol ...
see I am liking the (un)'s
Is it ok to sometimes say well I am sorry, but I am (un)able to do that.....and more importantly be (un)affected by that choice.
Can we just let ourselves be (un)armed and let go....and not have to have everything planned and in order...
I certainly do not think that that is (un)attainable :) In fact I think it is definitely not (un)relalistic to want that for ourselves sometimes.
If we have learned this behaviour of always having to DO, can it be (un)learned?
I do think this could (un)lock some of the daily stresses if we just let go sometimes and be a little more (un)neurotic lol Because are we really being the best we can when we are (un)rested, (un)happy and (un)fulfilled?
So here is to getting some more (un) in your life. I would like to be more (un) encumbered, (un)wrinked and (un)even lol just to name a few......
How about you...? What would you like to (un) ?
Think about it lol I promise it wont be to (un)comforting....
So here is to an (un)eventful Saturday , a (un)caring Sunday and a (un)Mondayitis Monday lol :) Car (ok I made unmondayitis up- sue me lol )

Line of sight
These were some distant snow defenses right on the north coast of Hokkaido near to Wakkani, I decided to clime quite a slippery embankment and got this composition courtesy of my trust 70-200 lens at 200 mm coming back down was considerably easier and a lot more fun:-)
Added a Canon EF 400mm F5.6 prime to my lens collection.. First trial photo's this arvo, seems to perform very well.
Riisitunturi National Park is in the southern part of Finnish Lapland near Posio. The park covers an area of 77 km² and represents the fell and hill landscapes in Koillismaa. There are colourful hanging bogs on the slopes of the Riisitunturi Fell and scenery over the Lakes Kitkajärvet and the forest landscape of Posio. The snowy forests wintertime are worth seeing by themselves.
The taller of the two sighting towers on Bamford Moor. They were built for the construction of the Rivelin Tunnel which runs from Ladybower to Lower Rivelin Reservoir 4.5 miles away.
Ein Platz an der Sonne in der "ersten Reihe". Links davon gibt es noch zwei Sitzbänke für die fantastische Fernsicht von Bregenz, über den Säntis bis zum Untersee vom Bodensee. In bequemer Sitz-Position entstand auch das nächste Panorama.
Bear Creek meanders through the local countryside offering quickly running water here for the sights and sounds of a "babbling brook".
