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!
Course task.
A capture from a walk a take often with the dogs. Experimenting with colour and layers. Not my type of processing (too harsh) but putting it up anyway. Live & learn as they say
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!

Assessment, Assembly, Action. Whatever your task, you do three things. Start by assessing what you already have and what you'll face, the problem. Then you plan with those variables in mind. Take what you have, get what you need, assemble things, people. Finally, you take action. Simple.
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:
Sydney, AUSTRÀLIA 2023
The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a steel through arch bridge in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, spanning Sydney Harbour from the central business district (CBD) to the North Shore. The view of the bridge, the Harbour, and the nearby Sydney Opera House is widely regarded as an iconic image of Sydney, and of Australia itself. Nicknamed "the Coathanger" because of its arch-based design, the bridge carries rail, vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic.
Under the direction of John Bradfield of the New South Wales Department of Public Works, the bridge was designed and built by British firm Dorman Long of Middlesbrough, and opened in 1932. The bridge's general design, which Bradfield tasked the NSW Department of Public Works with producing, was a rough copy of the Hell Gate Bridge in New York City. The design chosen from the tender responses was original work created by Dorman Long, who leveraged some of the design from its own Tyne Bridge.
It is the tenth-longest spanning-arch bridge in the world and the tallest steel arch bridge, measuring 134 m (440 ft) from top to water level. It was also the world's widest long-span bridge, at 48.8 m (160 ft) wide, until construction of the new Port Mann Bridge in Vancouver was completed in 2012.

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.

My entry to the final round of Bio-Cup 2022.

Huge thanks to everyone who provided me with feedback - not just for this particular build, but throughout the contest in general. It was fun!

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!

Stóra-Dimon | Suðurland (South Iceland)
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.

'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.
