Looking Close... on Friday: Shoe Sole
My shoes are "practical" so not very interesting :) This is the sole of one of my son's football boots, from many, many years ago, that has been living in the garden ... at one stage with a plant growing in it. I quite like the texture :)
Numbers are still well down on last year, as the weather is so poor. Normally dusty tracks are quagmires but still a few hardy specimens are trying. I've not seen a female SSB yet and my annual survey is half way through.... fingers crossed we will finally get some warm anddry weather soon; it's supposed to be summer! Here's one of the few from Thursday.
On a morning trip to Yateley Common I found this female Silver-studded Blue in some lovely long, wet grass. I had to sit and get soaked for a while however it was worth it. Shooting into the the grass and moisture give some magical effects.
Last Tuesday evening I went a few hours searching for this beauty, the Silver-studded Blue.
It was a difficult task, with the wind and hyperactive butterflies.
But I managed to capture them, this is one of the pics I made.
Handheld shot.
We welcome our new male elk to the herd. He's been on exhibit for a while but I always found him far away until now.
Beautiful 10 point rack.
I'm thinking of hiring my self out as a cardboard cut out. This is what happens when there is no one behind the lens saying "loosen up dude!"
Stopped off at the heath on the way home and had a chance to try out fill in flash in this overcast weather. At least when it is like this the butterflies are quite reluctant to take to the wing.
Taken in Norfolk.
"This damn Studebaker keeps on breaking down again
I was speedin' south on 99
When the manifold started smokin'
I ran her off the shoulder
And now the axle's broken
Made a sound that cracked my heart in half..."
These old trucks are so much cooler than the ones they make today. I would so drive this truck ...but sadly... this one's not going anywhere. Studebaker... even the name is cool! ; )
I vaguely remember my Dad having a Studebaker when I was a kid. Yeah... I need a truck. I do (in light turquoise blue! I think I just started writing a country song.... lol!)
Another tiny little blue species, about a inch or so across on the wings. These live in colonies groups, one of their habitats is heathland and after watching two deliberate fires set on heathland in Dorset this week......it just goes to show the worst impact mankind can have on wildlife and their environment. :-(
I've been ploughing through old photos a bit and there is still some good stuff left. This is a photo of a hoodoo at Stud Horse Point that I have not posted before. I remember going down the slope to get under it and get a good point of view, while trying not to slip and slither all the way down.
The light was getting better and better with clouds in the sky (see also the other photos) and this must have been one of my better photo moments so far.
This site is not very well known and only receives photo enthusiasts and possibly locals.
on of the nice things about getting "old" is that you feel no sense of urgency or compulsion to be on top of trends as they happen. you get to it when you get to it.
