I joined Chris Dodds and some other great photographers at the Pond at Elephant Head to shoot some bats this past September. It's quite an experience. Despite technical difficulties that seemed to plague me, I still came away with some pictures I'm proud of. This bat was captured by setting your camera to take a picture every 10 seconds. A beam is set up across a small (read small "very" small") pond which triggers the flash as a bat crosses the beam. You end up with a lot of black images and some wonderful keepers. I'll post an example of the other set up which uses a flower the bats love and triggers for both camera and flash.
Kent's only population of certified Narrow Lipped - Western or Pugsley Marsh Orchids.....shh don't tell them their not ment to be here! The only other time I've seen the Pugsley was Buxton Common, Norfolk a few years back now...
It was a bone breaking journey but I stay to my guns, not driving due to the massive environmental damage car fumes are having, but, it's a bloody long way. So, I fuel up on toast, homemade damson jam, sweet tea, yuck but a must, pack up my old camera but with a great lens on and off I go in the middle of the dawn chorus!
I reach my destination and with a warm smile I meet "The Doctor" We have been friends and colleagues for sometime and I worked as his scrub ODP. It was not until I had him as my own surgeon, when I needed to be cut up a little, that I found out he was big in orchids, with collecting, propagating and organising. He asked me what I was going to do for the couple of days after my op, I am sure he wanted to hear, "not work" but he got, "going to take a look at Faversham's Monkey and Lady Orchids", the gates of conversation opened and here we are. He is now referred to as "The Orchimister"
There is a small, read as big as a tennis court, water-meadow tucked away on his small, private estate on land he owns and here are a few, very few, Narrow Lipped Marsh Orchids.....some say that they should be absorbed into a unified species, but they do look a far cry from the bolder Southern Marsh Orchids, just wish the weather was a little kinder!
Anyway, Robert and his dear wife make the best afternoon tea "In the world" Cake, sandwiches, cake, tea and oh, did I mention cake! This was the fuel to get me home. We laughed, said our goodbyes and off I went heading home happy.....
Dactylorhiza majalis subsp. traunsteinerioides
Hopefully I will get to see a few more of these delicate Marsh Orchids in the correct place along with a selection of Early and Southern Marsh at Lolly Moor next week.
The European Goldfinch – Carduelis carduelis – is a small, colourful (brown, black, white, red and yellow) bird in the Finch family. Although native to Europe, North Africa and western Asia they have been introduced to other countries such as Australia, New Zealand, and Uruguay among others. Both male and female are very similar but the female has a slightly smaller read area on the face. This one was seen with it’s face in the sunlight at Martin Mere.

Christie made a little bunny and is wondering, should she try to make one even smaller?

An invasive species, and a bad one- these are making headway in more and more locations here. This little patch is still playing host to strong number of the much smaller (read: much more edible) Squirrel Tree Frogs as well, so we'll have to see how this plays out over time.

This is an overdue answer to MP's question re. how I store my Re-Ments.
I started off with one (read: one), small (read: small) craft box. (Read: is that possible with Re-Ment?!) One day I realized I need to appreciate these minis more by taking them out of the box & displaying them, so I get to see them everyday without effort. So I got my first brown Re-Ment cabinet, and the rest is history.....and a financial wreck!
To date I have 4 china cabinets, 2 appliance cabinets, 1 double-door refrigerator, 2 convenience store display cabinets (1 to be organized yet) and 3 Megahouse bakeshop display cabinets (1 to be organized yet). And oh yeah, got the system kitchen too, which you'll see in another photo.
Then again, one day my working space just screamed "STOP, I can't breathe anymore!". I've been stacking cabinets on top of another cabinet. And don't get me started on the widespread dust nuisance!
So lately, I've been collecting craft boxes again LOL. I've decided to keep only a few of these Re-Ment cabinets, and start satisfying my OCD ;P by sorting like minis into portioned organizers. I've started doing that alright.....as to when I'll finish, uhm, maybe another one day?
P.S. I have all these cabinets, but to this day, there are no dollies exploiting them! Attn: Evolna ;P
JD and me used this countdown board to count down to the days he would come visit me in rl. Since the countdown is over, guess where he is right now ;)
We are really so small
reading perks of being a wallflower. i love it, hopefully i'll finish it tonight!
this is my first try at a batman bokeh (batkeh??)
might do another one in a couple of days that is a bit smaller...

Nuraghi are round, chimney-resembling megalithic edifices of which purpose archeologists have no clear idea. Some suggest that their function was religious; some argue that it rather was military and others are convinced that they simply served as ordinary dwellings or rulers’ residences. Whatever they were for, back in the murky Bronze Age, archeologists claim that they are one of the most advanced structures of their time and they truly are impressive, especially when you stand inside, look up at the sky and feel so small.

@GWL - RobBeer - know this one? ;)
Shot this on my first roll of film, but that was exposure fail (Oh, those two things need to align?!). Although film shot, some post prosessing to get that more 'bumpy' feeling to it. Oh, and because my frame was too small.

At the battle of the bands event held at this year's Norfolk Fall Fair in Simcoe, Ontario, I was sitting near the back in a fairly small (read 'intimate' in marketing terminology) arena set up for a stage and audience seating. I happened to glance behind me and noticed the person busily manipulating various settings on a control panel, presumably to manage the sound system, microphones, and possibly lighting. During a break, I peaked behind the control panel setup and notice the ubiquitous fall fair food waiting for the control tech to return. Inspired, I headed off to find some for me. - JW
This image was processed in HDR software but since it was a single image, only the tone-mapping portion of the software came into play. Hence the image is tone-mapped and not strictly HDR and this tone-mapped image was used in the processing described below.
The original image was shot using a hand-held Nikon D5000 fitted with a Nikkor 18-105mm VR lense set to 18mm, ISO400, Aperture priority mode, f/3.5, 1/15sec. HDR processing (to use the tone-mapped portion on the single image) was done using Luminance/Qtpfsgui with settings as shown below. PP in GIMP: Loaded the original and the tone-mapped images as layers with the original on top, and then blended them by setting the opacity of the original to 50%, after which I used the new layer as a base. I then did a tone curve adjustment to expand tonal range and get a more 'realistic' tonal range, applied and 'S' curve to deepen colours, slight contrast increase, sharpened, added border and scaled to 1024 wide for posting.

I found this really excellent gravestone in Winchester Cathedral, Hampshire, England. Apparently this poor soldier died from drinking small (read: weak) beer on a hot day. I respect the kind of guy who is willing to risk death on a hot day for a good beer.
The text itself is great, but I especially like the rhyming verse.
The entirety of the text reads:
In Memory of
Thomas Thetcher
a Grenadier in the North Reg. of Hants Militia, who died of a violent Fever contracted by drinking Small Beer when hot the 12th of May 1764. Aged 26 Years. In grateful remembrance of whose universal good will towards his Comrades, this Stone is placed here at their expence, as a small testimony of their regard and concern.
Here sleeps in peace a Hampshire Grenadier,
Who caught his death by drinking cold small Beer,
Soldiers be wise from his untimely fall
And when ye're hot drink Strong or none at all.
This memorial being decay'd was restor'd by the Officers of the Garrison A.D. 1781.
An Honest Soldier never is forgot
Whether he die by Musket or by Pot.
The Stone was replaced by the North Hants Militia when disembodied at Winchester, on 26th April 1802, in consequence of the original Stone being destroyed.
And again replaced by The Royal Hampshire Regiment 1966.
Saturday 10 August 2013 - Day 22 - Cusco (3,399m) - Sacred Valley - Písac (2,972m) - Ollantaytambo (2,792 m)
A disappointing day, which in some ways set the tone for all our non-trek days on KE's Inca Trail and Machu Picchu trip (I wrote more on this when we first got back).
Our trek leader, Julia, had met us at the Amaru Hostal yesterday to give us a briefing and to hand over our 8kg max kit bags. Packing light was not a problem, but finding out we were the only people booked on the KE trip had been, and today the "full day of sightseeing [in the Sacred Valley] visiting Inca sites with a local guide" promised in the trip notes turned out to be a day trip on a big coach largely full of day trippers from Cusco. As a result, the morning featured a series of tourist-geared shopping stops (not a true local market to be seen). Seeing Julia giving a guided tour to a party of four (the gents were to turn out to be our Inca Trail co-trekkers John and Lonnie) at the Inca ruins at Písac really rubbed salt into the wound. If Hazel and I had wanted this kind of experience, we would have booked directly with an operator in Cusco, and paid a lot less. The local operator for our trip was ExploreAndes, so if you like the sound of it you can book direct.
Still, looking on the bright side, the Inca terraces and village ruins at Písac were impressive even under cloudy skies, and things picked up once we got to Ollantaytambo where we had a guided tour of the Inca old town and ruins before being deposited at the lovely Tunupa Lodge. To be honest, it did feel a bit like being abandoned... all we knew was that Julia would pick us up at 8am the following morning.
After a stroll around the town and buying water supplies, we ate at Hearts Café - highly recommended.

My 113cm high 'to read' pile on the left, the much smaller 'read in 2015' pile on the right.
I'd like to read more again in 2015, I still borrow & ask for books like I read, probably about time I did more than flick through & look at the pictures!
Best viewed small (read the final paragraph)!
Captured about 45-minutes after the image in 'The Bridge - 1' is TfW 's 158824 working 2I16, the 09.34 Pwllheli to Birmingham International on 17 May 2024 and seen crossing Barmouth Bridge.
I tried something a bit less traditional for this shot, but I made a schoolboy error (shock, horror, probe). I set up my position and composition with the camera to pick up and focus on the unit, it was too small and the focus was on the fence and ladder. Another lesson learned, I hope!

Not much is known about Urk, besides that he apparently likes to eat electronics. He has been a member of both the Legion of Substitute Heroes and the Legion Academy. Also, he is very small.

15 of 16 random things: i ♥ pino
In The Netherlands there is a lot of doing about Pino and his friends. It's about the time of broadcasting Sesamstraat (the Dutch Sesame Street). For years it was starting daily at half past six in the evening. Because of a new media law and (budget) management you will find Sesamstraat earlier on television, it starting at five o'clock now. And that's a problem because of a lot of parents coming home from their busy jobs and the children from the children's garden or nannies after that time and missing Sesamstraat. The Netherlands is too small..

I've seen the blue one only once....
In Native American culture, a hummingbird symbolizes timless joy and the Nectar of Life. It's a symbol for accomplishing that which seems impossible and will teach you how to find the miracle of joyful living from your own life circumstances.
They are really spectacular birds, and have a lot to teach a person about self discovery and healing.
