As a child my daughter Jamie had a great fear of wood ticks. One day I returned home to find her dressed from head to toe in protective clothing after she had seen a tick crawling up a wall. So I took the photo which ended up being this 1995 drawing.
(This is my 200th flickr entry!!)
Tick, probably Ixodes ricinus, the Sheep Tick, Deer Tick or Castor Bean Tick, nymph, crawling across the instep of my left foot. Woodwalton Fen NNR, Ramsey Heights, Cambridgeshire. Sunday 9 June 2019.
It was way too warm for anything other than sandals again on Sunday, so inevitably I picked up rather a lot of these. I pulled three out yesterday; two from my right leg and one from my stomach, but all died during extraction.
Tick drags with a weighted piece of felt or flannel can be used to monitor for ticks. After walking through an area with the tick drag in direct contact with vegetation, the number, identity and life stage of ticks on the drag cloth are counted.

Between these two coins is a Deer Tick. These ticks are the ones that spread Lyme Disease. This one is bloated with blood so it much larger that they are before they attach. You can see how devilishly hard they are to find. Many dogs and people I know have contracted it.

Look what I just found on a piece of grass IN MY YARD.
In my town we NEVER have ticks, I guess they spray or something but I'm not exaggerating - we never get ticks.
[in the past few years we've maybe gotten 1 or two from our town.]
I mean yeah go one town over, any direction - and yeah you'll be covered in ticks. But my town?? Come on now..
And in case you're wondering.. Yes, I did move him around and pose him.
He was my model today... LMAO!
As an experiment, Ryan took a tick and put it in a specimen jar. It exploded into a whole bunch of eggs. We are still waiting for them to hatch.

Recent storms caused by the "Beast from the East" have shifted tonnes of sand on Redcar beach revealing the remains of ancient woodland lost to the sea at the end of the last Ice Age. This SSSI site is believed by experts to have been part of Doggerland which existed until 5-6000 BC.
The "petrification" is caused by pore spaces within the wood being filled by minerals to give a "Stone-like" structure

...forget about your house of cards..."
After removing the tick, there was an evident bug bite that we cleaned and put Neosporin on. Hoping this is not the start of the dreaded bullseye rash that is attributed to Lyme Disease!
Bite area is about the size of a pencil eraser.
time clicks by
from silent moments
to quickly passing symphonies
punctuated by beams of light
ignore all distractions
keep moving
keep going
each motion bringing me closer
closer to my goal
i am
in this moment
a savior
an only hope
a last resort
i am
everything
right now
i feel like a god
right now
to somebody
i am.
a hiss of light
a soft click
i am
a target
my fingers clutch tighter
holding onto that bit of plastic
grasping a life in my hand
duck to the left
i'm safe again
dart into a shadow
and disappear
i continue on
passing quickly through the night.
A species of Ixodidae
Fred rescued me from this tick as it was walking on my trouser leg. ...but first he photographed it. :-)
We get quite a few of these in varying sizes. While this is an adult, it wasn't the largest we find. They bite and leave a welt for a number of weeks. No side effects other than that. The worst are the tiny ones that are hard to see, that embed themselves in our skin.
The large ones sometimes embed their heads under the skin. We put medical cream on them for 1/2 a minute or so, then pull them out with tweezers. Fred itches for days afterwards. :-(

I set up a strange composition and shot this frame in portrait, wedging myself in this cross-section of the bridge. I attempted to illuminate the log by holding my led flashlight above. I only realized after 20 seconds that the camera was set up vertically and that my light would be in the frame (as you can see). The light also appears as a reflection on the edge of the waterfall. Can you see another feature in the water?

Another group foray into the night to take some captures, this time with Doug and Teresa (FLICKR - LESS AHHH!)
Well Doug, Teresa and I decided to come revisit this site full moon plus four days. The moon did not rise beyond 50-60 degrees in the sky and just under 88% illumination with slightly overcast conditions I doubled the time if not more.
I've included this with the group shots from the Nov 14th shoot, you should check out their streams Skazama, LaRizzoloCa and Threshold) for the way they approached the subjects.
Also, you can see a group pool here of all our shots from the night or a slick slideshow here.

This 280 seat Midtown Manhattan diner opened in 1997 at 481 8th Avenue (corner of 34th Street), across the street from Penn Station. I really like the name of this place and their colorful sign really catches the eye! I want to come back here and gets some shots of this diner at night!
Time is running out for this part of the 557 route - by this time next week it will run directly from Woking town centre to Six Crossroads rather than via Monument Road and Maybury or Walton Road as it does currently, the latter road of which is where Abellio's Solo 8850 is seen. Buses will not serve Morrisons.
This time it was on time, when I saw it running into Woking it was at the town end of Maybury Road at 1704 - it's due at the station at 1711!! (and Six Crossroads at 1706...)
Didn't see the dual door Dart about...
