Since July 7th, at least 10 American law enforcement officers have been killed by gunfire in the line of duty, with many other being wounded.
My father is a police Sergeant, so I can attest to the extreme difficulties police face everyday. While not all police are honorable (as it is in all professions), the majority are just as much heroes as out military veterans. They are often treated like dirt by people they deal with everyday, encounter very traumatic situations on a regular basis, and face the reality that the next traffic stop could end their life. A significant percentage of officers struggle with PTSD, but usually don't ever receive any form of treatment. Their job is tough enough without having to worry about being gunned down simply for wearing the badge. I ask you to support American police officers in this time, and pray that peace would come to our country.

A beach near Lizard point during some nice light. I liked the simplicity of this although it isn't particularly inventive or anything. The light just seemed enough. Thanks for all the comments on the last shot, much appreciated.

These slices were cut from a beef shank muscle which is found at the central part of the calf.
The beef shank muscles in thick slices are used in a classic Italian dish, Osso Bucco.
In Chinese cooking, the shank muscles are cut into thin slices and dipped briefly in boiling water or soup. It is eaten with a variety of sauces.
I know the horizon is a bit wonky but this is how I shot it...found a piece of thin ice in our bird bath and loved the texture of it.
Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice appears under your feet.
Having spent longer than usual working the mines, train 308 thunders out of Timmins, it's two big SD70Ms unafraid of the thin ice.
X474AHE the former Whippet scania in use on the 181 with connexions just having come through one of the arches at Castle Howard. Stephenson's interworked this route with other services so the timings require two buses as the end to end points don't match with trips. Hopefully whatever happens to this service a more sensible schedule can be worked out.

This particular late April day was overcast. But, like they say, "it ain't over till it's over" and while paddling back home (in time to aviod the showers to the north), the sun poked through the clouds lighting up the shore. It made for a nice blue hour image. See the comment for the hole in the clouds...
10 am at Little Indian Slough.
This continued as the slough made its way into Puget Sound.
Unusual for our mild climate.
Kingfishers (Alcedo atthis) or Alcedinidae are a family of small to medium-sized, brightly colored birds in the order Coraciiformes. They have a cosmopolitan distribution, with most species found in the tropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Oceania. The family contains 114 species and is divided into three subfamilies and 19 genera. All kingfishers have large heads, long, sharp, pointed bills, short legs, and stubby tails. Most species have bright plumage with only small differences between the sexes. Most species are tropical in distribution, and a slight majority are found only in forests. They consume a wide range of prey usually caught by swooping down from a perch. While kingfishers are usually thought to live near rivers and eat fish, many species live away from water and eat small invertebrates. Like other members of their order, they nest in cavities, usually tunnels dug into the natural or artificial banks in the ground. Some kingfishers nest in arboreal termite nests. A few species, principally insular forms, are threatened with extinction. In Britain, the word "kingfisher" normally refers to the common kingfisher.
