again sunflowers are in the bloom.
After my focus in the last two or so seasons too much on the aspect to get a fine aperture star of the sun, i now consider more to get the sunflower highlighted. Maybe I therefore just stress it a little too much to keep the aperture max wide open ... my guess F5.6 would be better: flower sharp and backgroudn still as bokeh.

As Fall arrives Charlotte starts to produce egg sacs. Come spring her little babies will hatch and disappear into the garden.
Pelicans getting to a slow start... It was 9:30 already :)

New year's dawn for 2014 began with sultry conditions and rough seas locally (the water was swelling over the posts at times) . I hope to make the most of a couple of weekends away in the first few months of the year before settling down to look after #2 due in April :)
The Tide is out at Blyth Cambois beach on a perfect morning as GBRf Class 66/3 No. 66303 "Preston North End" starts its long journey north with the 6S45, loaded alumina tanks bound for Fort William.
60 years ago this was a very different scene, a large coal mining area where steam hauled coal trains would arrive from the many local pits and load their cargo onto ships from the wooden staiths which are still evident today on the River Blyth estuary on the other side of the current rail line.
Blyth Cambois even had its own steam depot.
All gone now along with the coal industry which sadly has left the area fairly deprived as nothing has replaced the mines.

This world is going down hill and not anymore pleasant and gives me much comfort and assurance as it was. My only hope is God's hope in Yahusha Ha'Maschiach ( Jesus) and looking forward to the world beyond and our transformation to who we are. But the hurdle is getting so difficult and going through trip overs, temptations to sin are enormous. Unless we are strong in our faith, it's so easy to slip away and be on the mire again. But God has always had this message in a small voice " don't let anyone steal your heritage and reward." I always had this in mind that God would not let anyone go through a trial/ testing more than one is capable of handling. Yahuah will always put a way out. I'm looking for this a way out.

► █░▓ EXCITING MOMENT! Finally, after a lot of digging, we have reached the first actual part of the find. It seems that the early humans had a fair use of plastic materials too!
My car's winter den revealed on Durmitor mountain. The hydraulics have given way to the pressure from above and the vehicle sank almost to the ground (its the lowest position). But everything remained unharmed actually. Only after half a year the car won't survive a typhoon without injuries.
