One of my commercial shoots: Photos featuring Chinese models as wallpapers. Those were downloadable on a Philips microsite. It was for the launch of a new "3D Shaver". The idea was to show four different women: A model, an artist, a office worker and an CEO.
This photo was not one of the final 3 that were offered as a wallpaper. I still like it though, and share it here on flickr.

JLB was feeling a little warm and was quite tempted to jump into the shallow waters to cool himself down...until he saw the terrapins knifing their way through the water towards him at which point he retreated back into the bakkie and demanded that we close the window and turn the aircon up.
He was still refusing to remove his jersey.

A spaniel type dog ran into the frame and stopped on the edge of the quayside at Cresswell Quay, where the Cresswell River joins the upper tidal reaches of the Cleddau River in Pembrokeshire, west Wales.
I thought he was going to jump in!

The Red-bellied Woodpecker is a medium-sized woodpecker of the Picidae family. It breeds in southern Canada and the northeastern United States, ranging as far south as Florida and as far west as Texas. They are a fairly large bird typically measuring 9 - 10.5 inches long (23 - 27 cm), and have a wingspan of 15 - 18 inches (39 - 46 cm). While generally not considered a migratory species, anecdotal information suggest that northern populations retreat south during harsh winters at unknown rates.
Look for Red-bellied Woodpeckers hitching along branches and trunks of medium to large trees, picking at the bark surface more often than drilling into it. Like most woodpeckers, these birds have a characteristic undulating flight pattern.
A reddish tinge on the belly is what gives this bird its name, although it is often difficult to see. It's tempting to call them Red-headed Woodpeckers, but the name belongs to a somewhat rarer species that's mostly black on the back with big white wing patches. Adult female Red-bellied Woodpeckers have only a red patch on the nape and another small one above the bill while the male as seen above has a red head crest going from the bill all the way to the nape of the neck. Otherwise both sexes are mainly the same with light gray on the face and underparts and black & white barred patterns on their back, wings and tail.
The Red-bellied Woodpecker mainly searches out arthropods on tree trunks. They may also catch insects in flight. They are omnivores, and will also eat fruits, nuts and seeds. Their breeding habitat is usually deciduous forests. They nest in the decayed cavities of dead trees, old stumps, or in live trees that have softer wood such as elms, maples, or willows; both sexes assist in digging nesting cavities. Though the species is not threatened, it depends on large trees for nesting. In areas that are extensively deforested, the birds will sometimes utilize parks or suburban yards, but for the most part they simply will not be present in any significant numbers.
Red-bellied Woodpeckers are noisy birds, and have many varied calls. Males tend to call and drum more frequently than females, but both sexes call. Often, these woodpeckers "drum" to attract mates. They tap on aluminum roofs, metal guttering, hollow trees and even transformer boxes, in urban environments to communicate with potential partners. Babies have a high-pitched begging call, which they will continue to give whenever they see their parents long after fledging.
While most birds have one toe pointing back and three pointing forward on each foot, woodpeckers have two sharply clawed toes pointing in each direction to help them grasp the sides of trees and balance while they hammer - this formation is called "zygodactal feet". Many woodpecker species such as the Red-bellied Woodpecker also have stiffened tail feathers, which they press against a tree surface to help support their weight.

On the return back to the car from the first failed mission to Sugar Loaf Lighthouse (see previous post) we passed back past this gorge we'd previously seen on our way up and I thought I'd have a try at getting right in on the detail for a more abstract interpretation.
It was funny to hear the comments of everyone who passed by: "I reckon I could swim through that...".
I agree though - there was something about this scene that inspired temptation - for me though, that temptation was just to take a photo of it and keep my feet dry...

Ireland told me she was in need of photo therapy and had a new costume for Halloween. Sounds good to me. She joined us at a small group shoot in the Star River Walk Park in October 2021. Ireland is so sweet to shoot with - she is very quiet and has a natural sensuality about her - I hope to get some more shoots with her in soon.

Making a shooting only with available light in the evening was quite a new experience for me. The only light available was coming from outside and the candles in the room. Hope you like the results.
A lot of thanks go to Anne for being such a patient and calm model - it was a pleasure shooting with you.
