At early light we were fortunate enough to have the rare sighting of a male leopard (Blue eyes) who was perfectly relaxed and in close proximity to a female and their 6 month old cub. Although solitary this dominant male leopard had wondered back into the territory of his previous female partner and their cub. During a special hour they stayed together for a moment of rare family life with calling, playing and relaxing before blue eyes wondered off into the distance to once again live an independent life.
(Please see my other photos of Blue eyes on the hunt and more of the cub and her mother (also hunting).
Chiefs Island, Moremi National Park, Okavango Delta, Botswana.
The first sighting of one of the young Kingfishers occurred on the day prior to them fledging. This first glimpse was just the end of a beak but we were excited. Maybe if we had a view into the nest we would have seen them earlier.

I gotta join the party tonight ( just banquet at the "Izakaya", lol ) so catch you up tomorrow.
沒有例外的，我們都曾獨自通過那長長的隧道來到這裡。
那些寂寞的考驗，是否給了彼此對未來更明確的答案呢？
也許你已經走到我看不見的遠方，而我卻才剛拾起那段未完的旅程。
曾在夏夜裡反覆出現的夢，依舊是我繼續追尋的方向。
而我們的現在，或許也是那些夢裡想像的無限延伸。
走著走著，也許又會迷了路。
但有時夢裡最美的地方，就是獨自佇立在陌生角落前的那份徬徨。
好想都帶回來給你看，只是你的目光早已遠離了那時的夢了。
Stanier '8F' 2-8-0 no.48151 powers past from Selside Cottages with Statesman Rail’s outward "Fellsman" (Lancaster-Preston-Settle-Carlisle and return). The sound of her two cylinder beat could heard for many minutes after she past, as she headed for Blea Moor.
One the west side of Trail Ridge Rd. we stopped for a bit and as the back of Denise's hat say's this is Colorado's Rocky Mt. National Pk.
Yeah...I cant keep my promises lol!!!!...I just cant stay away from flickr. But Im trying to reduce my daily doses. At least I'll be taking some new shots with my friends today. See ya!
Jurei mentiras e sigo sozinho
Assumo os pecados
Os ventos do norte não movem moinhos
E o que me resta é só um gemido
Minha vida, meus mortos, meus caminhos tortos
Meu sangue latino
Minha alma cativa
Rompi tratados, traí os ritos
Quebrei a lança, lancei no espaço
Um grito, um desabafo
E o que me importa é não estar, vencido
Minha vida, meus mortos, meus caminhos tortos
Meu sangue latino
Minha alma cativa

It is not the Moon, it is the Venus.
I took this photo from the balcony last night at 10:38 p.m. and only 10 minutes later Venus had already disappeared behind the horizon.
In addition to the 300mm I used a 1.7x teleconverter in front of the lens here.
Distance to the larger wind turbine in foreground 10km and only 45 million to Venus ;-)
That is it , a glass portal to see what is flowing in the pipe .
Shot taken for Saturday Self Challenge 28/05/2022 -- Glass .
This is in fact a sight glass seen through the front panel of a dry cleaning machine ( the hole is about 2 - 2 1/2 inches diameter ) , it allows the operator to monitor the flow of solvent and it's condition as it flows from one of the tanks and into the drum to clean the clothes/household items etc . There are usually 2 tanks , one is the working tank and the other is the pure solvent tank where the freshly distilled solvent from the still is condensed and flows into .
Did you know the solvent is used over and over again for cleaning , it is filtered near constantly and regularly it is also dumped to the still where it boils to vapour, passes through the condenser before going into the clean tank . What is left in the still is all the muck and grunge from the cleaning plus remains of the detergents added and it is a smelly black gooey substance from runny to solid matter and is a right mess to rake out on a regular basis . As a legal requirement each litre of solvent put into the machine is expected to clean at least 80 kilos dry weight of clothes/curtains etc !!
One important reason to keep a watch on the solvent passing the sight glass is to ensure the slovent remains clear and with no colour , if it goes red =PANIC= , that means there has been a colour bleed (red is the most often bleed you see ) . Cheap import garments and high price so called designer wear are most often the culprits !! So do not ignore the sight glass - you can relax once the machine goes into the dry cycle !!
I have also noted the inside of the sight glass has a lot of tiny dots of condensation on the inside - the machine had been turned on but not warmed up at this stage . I was surprised as I did not notice this until I put the shot onto the computer - the shot was a very quick couple of snaps hand held under fluorescent lighting .
You can see in the first comment box the machine frontage and the sight glass sitting top left of the loading door .
After that then Iron Maiden did a track just for this occasion with " These Colours Don't Run " -----------
Just thought , this shot seems to remind me of HAL 9000
In my depth of sight I see, the basics of nature staring at me.
The Longing for simpler times and the most basic of needs.
Searching for quite in the rush of getting things done.
In my depth of sight I see, the basic redesign of me.
The Longing for the simple to be more common than weeds.
Searching for a rush of peace before the morning sun.
In my depth of sight I see, the basic creation of love in me.
The longing for a simple life starts with simple deeds.
Searching for anything that brings a sense of calm to one.
In my depth of sight I see, basic ties to the earth and me.
The longing for simple has been found in these tiny seeds.
Searching for nothing as the earth sprouts my daily fun.

Conrad "Duke" Hauser of the G.I. Joe team sights in his conventional service rifle in anticipation for an upcoming patrol. As impressive as the energy-based weapons used by his fellow operators are, Duke finds a certain degree of confidence in knowing that his issued weapons are less inclined to fail in the midst of an electricity-related accident.
Sweetwater Precision Weapons introduces a revolution,
a perfect fusion between Russian simplicity and American modularity,
The Sweetwater Precision Weapons “Terrain” ACR AK “Yugo” R12.
One of SPW’s designers spent many weeks labouring over his design, after being tasked to create a rifle combining the firepower and simplicity of the Russian AK-47 with the modularity of a rifle like the ACR. When he finished the designs, he presented it to the manufacturers.
It included:
•A smooth-finished wooden pistol grip
•New trigger system
•Improved durability bolt
•Rail attachable AK Rear Sight
•Structural improvements to the receiver
•New lightweight Mag -release catch
•Petite AK-style Fire Selector
•Cooling vents above bolt
•Smooth sliding charging handle
•4-sided rail system
•25% Lighter weight stock w/ Buckle and Sash
•Hexagonal Noveske-style Flash Hider
•More efficient Gas-Block
•Easy grip polymer AK magazine
•Custom Order Limited Edition Holographic Sight
When the gun rolled off the production line, and was held for the first time, the designer knew it was his best work to date.

I'd really appreciate feedback, be it a fave or a comment ( or both :P) because I spend a lot of time on these things. :)
Please view all sizes!
Thanks to Jake for the company during the days of this build. Thanks buddy. :D
If I added you it's because I want you to see it. :3
It's not often you see two short haired blondes in the same photo! I found myself in front of the camera with the fabulous Mandy EyeCandy at November's Big Night Out in Milton Keynes.
Posted slightly out of chronological order. Our first sight of the Pacific Ocean. We drove from Las Vegas to San Simeon this day and were determined to see sunset from the beach. The hour approaching the coast was unbelievably beautiful, and I wish I had time to stop and take more pictures. Unfortunately, this in the only picture I got of the whole drive. We made it to the ocean just before sunset (it was a 2.5 mile run/walk to get to the coast, but we made it).

A Yeti Airlines ATR-72 heads past the Himalayan peak of Gangchenpo as it returns to Kathmandu Tribhuvan International Airport following an early morning Everest sight-seeing flight. Seen from Nagarkot, Nepal.
Milk tankers are a frequent sight around these parts as they come and go from the local dairy factory at Hautapu.
After the Foden-era passed (due to non-availability, thank you Paccar!)...Fonterra went Swedish, with a predominantly Volvo fleet. Scania was also introduced subsequently albeit in lesser number. Fast forward to 2020 and Mercedes-Benz Arocs are being trialled in the fleet alongside larger numbers of Volvo's FH model.
Here we see an R-series Scania truck and trailer tanker passing through Hautapu as it heads away from the nearby factory.

OK, granted the little rascal is probably showing up every day now, but just not when we're looking outside the window.
Today, Chippy was spotted wa-a-ay in the back of the yard, foraging with the "big boys." The squirrels tolerated his presence for the most part but at one point they got too close, and he scampered off to safety - only to be spotted under the feeders a few hours later.
