Due to eye disease, I'll have to avoid using any electronic devices for the time being. Of course I'll still try my best to admire your fine works. Wish you all a splendid weekend, my dear friends! Happy Friday!
由於眼睛長期過度疲累，最近要接受治療，無法即時欣賞您好圖佳作要向您致歉了，感恩您一直的鼓勵和指導，周末愉快我的好友們!
Almost every stretch of the coast path brings up a view like this showing what still needs to be accomplished on the day's walking. It's both inspiring and sobering at the same time!
This swan, by the River Test at Mottisfont, treated me to a view of a full 6 minute preening session.
I hardly ever use the burst function on my camera as it mostly results in a boring trawl through not very much. But the swan's resolve quickly dissolved my reluctance, so here is a small selection from my one hundred and five shots.
I understand that preening is usually a social activity but this swan always seems to be alone in the grounds of Mottisfont Abbey, so likely has lost its mate.

my gratitude for all your visits
Happy new week to come!

A nice variety of power awaits it's next task at the P&H elevator just west of Tisdale Saskatchewan.
Ready for the next cheerleading practice on Tuesday :)
I had to complete the following task: We are supposed to show up at the next cheerleading practice in Halloween costumes.
Personally, I don't like violence, skulls, dead eyes, and blood.
I wanted a “friendly” costume.
I think I succeeded, although... I do look a little dangerous, don't I? haha*
You can find the outfit at Addams.
Here's the LM:
I´m very glad this photo is published on "The Sea Letter", a literary journal of poetry and short fiction, based in Galveston, Texas.
Many thanks to Leo Gonzales!

I’ve Been Here
Leaves covered the rough ground
Musty smells mixed with
Fresh October air
I crawled out of the tent
Drank hot black coffee
And began my day’s task of learning to read signs
Behind the tent on a steep slope
I examined my footprints
So I would know how it looked
When I passed through
For hours I studied
A cracked leaf
A snapped twig
A depression
After a time, I saw that
I had been there
Unmistakable

From Wikipedia, "Leake Street (also known as the Banksy Tunnel) is a road tunnel in Lambeth, London where graffiti is tolerated regardless of the fact that it is against the law. The street is about 300 metres long, runs off York Road and under the platforms and tracks of Waterloo station.
The walls are decorated with graffiti, initially created during the Cans Festival organised by Banksy on 3–5 May 2008. The festival ran again on the August Bank Holiday weekend 2008.
While the Eurostar terminal was at Waterloo, the road was open for through vehicular traffic. On 14 November 2008 ownership of the road passed from Eurostar to Network Rail and through traffic was restricted to pedestrians.
Prior to the 1920s the street was known as York Street."
As the low, late afternoon sun illuminated the grasses into neon,
I catch a tiny flash of a different colour.
A new wildflower, I've never seen before?
Could be interesting for a pic. Let's have a look ..
No, it was these guys.
I didn't really think I'd get anything decent as everything was swaying in the the breeze, getting focus through the grass stems, and me shaky with zoom ... I gave it a go just for the practice.
Later at home, I was surprised I got 2 out of the three in focus before they did fly off into the wild green yonder, still stuck together.
More of a surprise to see one of them was holding a 'snack'.
Their version of crackers in bed, perhaps ..?
sooc..
HMM !
Update:
Many Thanks to Anuj, who just gave me the correct ID for the loving couple.
They are Robber Flies.
I haven't heard of this name, but now I look more closely, their wings aren't as long as those on Dragonflies.
Trying to do my row for the day at the same time as my shot for the day. I've worked four long days in a row so that I could have off tomorrow. I have no special plans for tomorrow and, thus, so special need to have the day off, but having a day off sounded good back when we did our late shift schedule last month. I will sleep in a bit and see where the day takes me. I plan to walk in the Women's March on Saturday so I need to come up with a poster.

The B42 crew on this B41 begins the 2.5 hour task of spotting and pulling CF industries at Tank Spur. This place mainly unloads anhydrous ammonia tanks. In the winter time these places go crazy cause the cold air condenses the gas making it easier to unload and transport the product. The crew has 39 to setout and about the same to pickup. These places kind of suck on a local cause the haz mat has to be buried and you don't want to hold this stuff the rest of the trip to do the work, so this work will be done behind a bunch of cars. The loads to spot are on the main, as the crew picks up the empties 1st. This is the Sheldon Sub between Mason City and Spencer.
Rice harvesting in Vietnam is a testament to human resilience and the enduring connection to the land. Generations of Vietnamese farmers have honed their skills, transforming vast emerald fields into golden harvests.
From the meticulous planting of seedlings to the arduous task of hand-harvesting with sickles, each stage demands immense physical labor. Under the scorching sun, farmers work tirelessly, their movements rhythmic and precise. The act of harvesting is not merely a chore, but a deeply ingrained tradition, a celebration of life nurtured from the earth. Trung Khanh, Vietnam
Even if tasks are unfinished, everyone should take time to meditate and appreciate the beauty of nature.
If it's not responding, end it.

Huge thanks to everyone who provided me with feedback - not just for this particular build, but throughout the contest in general. It was fun!
I walked down to the beach at Oceanside, California during my recent trip to San Diego, and shot this shorebird going about it's task of finding food in the sand. Not until I got home did I realize I didn't know this bird and after researching it I believe it to be a Marbled Godwit. So, another new bird for me! I have to laugh because I was thinking yellowlegs, but then of course these legs aren't yellow. And the bill is so much longer than a yellowlegs as well as being bicolor.

Along with the sorrow of digging a grave for our dear friend, Buddy the dog; my brother Kirk slammed his hand with his sledge hammer.
The ground in this desert is so hard, you require a hammer and chisel to dig into it.
45 video cameras. 90 interviews. 15 hours to turn it into something watchable.
This is why I'm fat and tired.
It's still Wednesday here so here you go! ~ HBW ~ Not much done here except some wacky toning :) (referring to the one below ... that I have later replaced) That's what happens when you are snowed in for weeks... I have been pretty busy with different tasks personal and business... just wanted to upload something in the meantime. No time to mess around with anything so I found something that looked half decent without much photoshopping.
Have a wonderful night or maybe even a day for some of you!

This is the last photo I'll be posting from our recent trip to Iceland. However, because there were species we either didn't see or didn't get many shots of this time round - such as the Rock Ptarmigan - I'm going to be adding a few previously unpublished images from our last visit in 2015. Whilst I enjoyed both trips, I don't think we'll be returning, so I'm going to use this opportunity to make sure my Flickr Iceland album contains all the photos I want it to, particularly as the album I had on my original website is now effectively lost.

WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY ADVENTURES
'the experiences, the places, the species and more ....'
In respect of my new 'reincarnated' website www.tickspics.com I'm still spending all my current free time in trying to make it 'mobile friendly' - a rather thankless, but necessary task to comply with Google's SEO requirements. As soon as that is out of the way, I'll be regularly adding new content including an extended write-up about both our Iceland trips.
