La foto no tiene nada de surrealista, pero como se trata de un gato y la foto está tomada en un pueblo alpujarreño, pensé: “un gato andaluz” y se me vino a las mientes la película de Buñuel de parecido título (cuatro patas, rabo, orejas tipo radar… que uno ladre y el otro maúlle es una menudencia sin importancia); de ahí el título.
En muchos lugares, sobre todo en las ciudades, existen colonias de gatos ocupando solares o espacios abandonados; suelen ser gatos que sus dueños han dejado allí como quien tira un juguete roto; pero todavía hay lugares, sobre todo en pequeños pueblos, en los que los gatos deambulan a su aire sabiendo que tienen un rincón que es su hogar, las sobras de la comida para alimentarse y personas a las que acariciar/marcar y por las que dejarse tocar/acariciar.
One from the archives for the Looking Close on Friday theme of tip. I have no idea what the plant is!
CPKC is really pushing the limits of their mainline in the Mississippi River floodwaters in downtown Davenport, IA as an empty ballast train heads north with KCS 3967 and KCS 4405.
Another northbound would follow the ballast train 1.5 hours later and the mainline will possibly shut down yet today with floodgates closing at Waterworks.

During the shooting, the butterfly rolled the proboscis constantly in and out and moved, which did not make the focussing much easier.

Während des fotografierens rollte er den Saugrüssel ständig ein und aus und bewegte sich, was das scharfstellen nicht gerade vereinfachte.

Pitt Lake is the second-largest lake in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. About 53.5 square kilometres in area, it is about 25 km long and about 4.5 km wide at its widest. It is one of the world's relatively few tidal lakes, and among the largest. In Pitt Lake, there is on average a three foot tide range; thus Pitt Lake is separated from sea level and tidal waters during most hours of each day during the 15 foot tide cycle of the Pitt River and Strait of Georgia estuary immediately downstream.The lake's southern tip is 20 km upstream from The Pitt River confluence with the Fraser River and is 40 km east of Downtown Vancouver.
Pitt Lake is in a typical U-shaped glacial valley in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains. The overdeepening of the lower end of the valley over the span of the Wisconsin glaciation created a trough over 140 m below current sea level. After initial glacial retreat at around 13,000 years ago a saltwater fjord occupied this basin when relative sea levels were still ca 120 to 140m above current levels in the region. Unlike neighbouring Indian Arm and Howe Sound farther west, this fjord basin became partly cut off from tidal waters by sedimentation of the lower Fraser River ca 10,500 years ago, and Pitt Lake is now considered a tidal fjord lake.
Pitt Lake is the second largest of a series of north-south oriented fjord-lakes incising the southern slopes of the Pacific Ranges, the largest being Harrison Lake located 60 km to the east. The other fjord-lakes include Coquitlam Lake, Alouette Lake, Stave Lake, and Chehalis Lake.
The Pitt River drains into the northern end of Pitt Lake. The western shore of Pitt Lake are protected within Pinecone Burke Provincial Park, while most of the eastern shore are protected within Golden Ears Provincial Park. The southern end of Pitt Lake features an extensive marshland called Pitt Polder. While most of this marshland has since been drained for agricultural use, the northernmost portion is strictly protected in order to provide critical habitat for migratory birds.
Communities
The community of Pitt Meadows and the First Nations reserve of Pitt Lake Indian Reserve 5 are located at the southern end of the lake. Just southwest of the lake is the community of Port Coquitlam, which is across the Pitt River from Pitt Meadows. At the north end of the lake is a locality named Alvin, which is a transport and shipping point for logging companies and their employees.

Thank you so much in advance for all your amazing kindness and support it really means more than you know . Have a wonderful weekend huge hugs and tons of love my dear friends 💕
You can just see the orange edge of this male Orange Tip wing, the first one of the year for me. This was taken late yesterday afternoon, it was to cold for it to fly, and as the temperatures went down to -4 here last night it was still there this morning. It hasn't got much better through the day, and it is still there now on the end of this white lilac bud,
This is a longer exposure at sunset across the North Atlantic Ocean on our way from the Isle of Lewis to Orkney.
I am so glad that I took my tripod with me.
I employed a tip from Matt Kloskowski that is worth knowing if you ever go on a cruise (or are shooting on a tripod in windy conditions)
Normally (if your lens has VR or IS) you should turn it off when doing long exposure work. However, the vibrations from the ship and movement on the water is an ideal environment in which to turn it on for LE work! I found that my shots on this trip were sharper with the VR on!
This male Orange Tip was taking a few minutes rest on his favourite sprig of Hawthorn, from defending his patch. Orange Tip season seems to be almost over. A shame as I love to see them in spring, and this was a bumper year for them.
The remains of a hortensia flower, a little bit of one of the flowers is still holding on.
Happy looking close....on Friday!
