Day 4 of 7 of the black and white food photo challenge. I found this huge mortar and pestle on clearance at Costco earlier this year. I have to admit I haven't used it much but am ready to start spicing things up. Anyone have one? What do you use it for mostly?

Since I can't access my old account, here it is, I made a new one.

2025 started with a bang. Relatively strong auroras could be seen from the light polluted skies of Perth City. Would've been nice to travel to a dark sky location but unfortunately I have a 4-hour drive planned for the following morning.

My first laker view of the 23-24 season. On a still Sunday morning, Wilfred Sykes finishes up loading at Burns Harbor. From here, the classic steamer will sail to Cleveland.

This morning again. Hard to believe how nice it was, as it's chucking it down now.

Been naughty and cloned a post out from the towpath here. Cursed it many a time!

Lefkada, Greece

Lower section of the steepest standard gage line-haul railroad grade in the United States. Located at the west side of historical Madison, Indiana.

The morning starts with sun and rain/snow clouds. A lucky start of the year with the rainbow over the lake.

October 2024: A month in 31 pictures - Day 31

What luck to find a nice fresh monarch distracted by the Joe Pye weed so I could spend a little time with her.

As the sun starts to set these beauties begin their evening rituals. So much fun to watch.

Call me a Luddite but I hate what this button represents. Please bring back regular car keys for us key fob haters. For the Macro Mondays group, challenge: Button.

Happy Macro Monday!

What started out as pleasant and leisurely morning stroll in the garden, quickly developed into a perilous and risky outing. Brian soon found himself wishing he had accepted the invitation to go hang-gliding with his friends...

For Macro Mondays theme 'Danger'.

No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph. At no time did the snail come into contact with the sharp points of the barbed wire.

Reddish Egret ~ (egretta rufescens)

When I got to the beach to do some photography, I saw that this Reddish Egret got started without me. Before the sun was over the horizon, this beauty was attempting to catch fish that came in with the surf.

Thanks for visiting!

Starting 2025 with a wish to you all for a better year than 2024.

This photo was taken at Mottistone gardens on the Isle of Wight

Ophrys sphegodes, Leopoldsberg, Wien, Austria. Because of snow and frost the ophrys season is a bit delayed. I could not find any O. purpureas this year on this site.

Nadat Lineas de containerpendel tussen Antwerpen en Madrid stopzette, starte DB het vervoer begin dit jaar terug op. Zo verschenen 15 jaar na het partnerschap van het toenmalige NMBS Logistics met het eveneens toenmalige Euro Cargo Rail (zie flic.kr/p/8jWYN8) de witte ECR traxxen terug aan kop van deze treinen. Eerst werd er tijdens de nachtelijke uren gereden en was er helaas niets fotografisch mee aan te vangen, maar in het voorjaar vertrok men pas rond 11u uit Antwerpen. Zo kon op een zonnige 20 maart de 186 167 met de 47190 Antwerpen-Irun op de bekende brug te Lauwe geklikt worden.

Ondertussen rijden deze pendels alweer een tweetal maand niet meer, mocht er iemand meer info hebben, vul gerust in de comments aan ;-)

Sightseeing!

Wheelie bins on Priest Lane, Langport in Somerset.

... but now on break. It's been rainy and cold around here the last few days. So all butterflies are in hiding and will be for a little longer. It's going to be a rainy weekend but hopefully it will mean a lot of May flowers ;-)

Happy Friday and have a fantastic weekend everybody!!
