I suppose this is like chopping off someone's head in a photo but not too bothered as it was a quick 7 shot panoramic that I made on my way back from rugby yesterday and it was raining heavily and also cold.....here comes autumn!
The light to the west was fabulous but as I had no protection, I could just couldn't turn the camera around due to the rain! The one that got away!!! Hey ho.
Most of the fields around me have been left fallow after harvest time ,not sure why that is though.
With this shot I could see the low sun lighting up the field so decided to give this a low PoV shot.
A Neurigona pallida fly, member of Dolichopodidae, long-legged flies (who really should shave its legs) that was content with sitting on my hand for a short photo session.
This photo was taken somewhere just south of Highway 22X (not too far from home) on 3 April 2010. I always love the colours and patterns of the fields when they look like this. This is more or less what everywhere has been looking like for a good part of our present winter - but not today. Snow returned overnight and it looks like a winter wonderland everywhere. If only the sun could come out, too : ) I feel so lucky to live within short reach of such beautiful rolling hills.
Here is a Neurigona pallida fly, a member of Dolichopodidae, long-legged flies (who really should shave its legs). After I took this shot, I managed to get it to sit on my hand - photo here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/23539118352/
The fields round here will soon all be plough, so there was nothing for it this afternoon but to take the camera out. This field is the only one left with bales out on it, so it had to be snapped!

Catskills and Helderbergs in the distance. This is how I remember winter in the upstate New York of my youth. My neighbors mostly found the snow and the clouds oppressive, but I loved the winter light and how it played off the ice and snow.
I feel like I am filling up the 10000 project way too fast. I feel if I continue into a 100000 project I will die before its completion, which might just be what the rest of my life needs to remember its self. We will see in the 09000s
This is Chris, one of my very good friends and best friend of Courtney who I featured a few days ago.
Chris, aside from being terribly handsome, is an excellent photographer and after a few pointers from him I was soon coming out with photos that I would consider some of my personal best.
There's a couple more from Chris and Courtney to come over the next few days.

Harvest has begun in the Wommera area of Victoria. Lentils being the first crop to be harvested as they are of greater value than other crops. Long days lie ahead
Another image from our Camera Club weekend where the weather was fairly ordinary. I got down low to get some of the crop stubble on the coloured skyline.
All three photos posted today were taken the day before yesterday, 15 March 2016. I drove NW of Calgary again, hoping that maybe one of the Great Gray Owls might just be seen. When I arrived, a car was pulled over at the side of the road and the occupants were photographing an owl. It was hidden from my view by a group of bushes and I only saw it when it flew over to the distant trees.
This particular photo was taken during my drive there, to give an idea of the kind of countryside I go through to reach my destination. The drive is along a huge valley, past farms and fields and the very occasional wildlife, such as Mule Deer. Love the colouring of the fields at the moment, though they may now be at least partly covered in the snow that fell last night, at least here in Calgary.
I hadn't been sure whether to do such a long drive that day (roughly 250 km round trip) as the weather forecast wasn't exactly the best. Just after I left home, a few snowflakes fell for maybe five minutes, but not enough to settle. When I got closer to my destination, the gravel roads were snow-covered and not very pleasant to drive on. However, I'm glad I did decide to go, as I did get to see an owl on several different trees while it hunted. Eventually, it flew off into the forest and didn't return.
Last night, we had some proper snow - March does tend to be the snowiest month here. The temperature is -1C early this afternoon and the sun is trying to burst through the overcast sky.
With fluff, slightly jutting jaw (unnecessary), and horrible horrible drinks cascady thing in background which was _not_ my idea.
Taken somewhere near Baconsthorpe.
Please feel free to comment. It's lovely to be praised, but, if you see something which could improve an image don't be afraid to say! There are several of my contacts who give my images honest appraisal and I am grateful for that.Taken somewhere near Baconsthorpe, Norfolk, UK
