I posted the long shot of this stream running down the bottom of the valley the other day, this is a close up. Howegrain Beck taken from Christy Bridge,
This Grote's Buck Moth caterpillar was crossing over our welcome mat. Zoom in and see the incredible details on the skin, besides all the spikey hairs.
When I am down, and, oh, my soul, so weary
When troubles come, and my heart burdened be
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit awhile with me
You Raise Me Up

I was back out in our meadow this morning. No dew today but I found this lonely Lady on a small, dried weed. It was cool out and no wind. She was quite still for me to set-up and take around 30 shots for focus stacking @ 4x magnification.
These two low flying speedsters (Pacific Black Ducks) were in perfect opposing synchronisation as I managed quite a few shots in a row with one set of wings being up, and the other down. They were really moving too, and I was actually completely shocked and pleased that the camera locked and held focus on them. This lens combination with the extender at a fixed f16 is definitely not an ideal birds in flight set up. The ducks were skimming along the surface of the Murray River in Mannum, South Australia.
Happy Wing Wednesday!
Just after the UP merged with CNW. At least the Union Pacific had some interesting power leading this empty coal train.

This is for Emmanuelle, who prefers my reflection shots vertical, but I thought I'd try a reverse first! Up and down is a track by John Lee Hooker and is perfect! Because the headland at Whitmore stairs is a similar shape from both sides it took me a while to realise this was inverted!
Shot near Union Square.I don't know who came up with the idea of putting these charging tables at some of the city's public places,but I think that was a smart move.I didn't know that the one seen here was at this spot when I needed to charge my phone (don't ask why) until I saw it recently in the shot.There was one charging kiosk I used at an eatery on 3rd Avenue.The kiosk had about three small compartments that were lined up vertically.You slip your debit or credit card in a slot to open up one of the compartment doors (you don't get charged,your card number is just read).You then connect one of the charging cables to your phone and leave it inside to charge.If you want to eat something at the eatery (or even go somewhere else) to kill time you can do that too,then return later for your phone.Having the phone charging kiosks installed at the eateries is certainly good business for them,I think.

"LET THERE BE LIGHT!"
Enschede lights up
Light show in Jacobuskerk in Enschede, the Netherlands
The spectacular light art route through the city center of Enschede took place from 14 to 17 December 2023. This year's theme is "Here and Now".
In the beautiful Jacobuskerk, visitors can enjoy a magical light show designed by emerging talent Michiel Kruger with custom-composed music by students of the ArtEZ conservatory.
This mockingbird was at the top of an Electric Pole singing. Every couple minutes it would fly up a few feet and then resume it's position.
Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to remember to catch the light by looking up more often. In doing so, I caught some morning light behind two rather large oak leaves which pleased my eye. I hope you don't get sick of viewing fall leaves, because I have a "thing" for them!
Thank you so much for stopping by and for your comments. I do love hearing from you! Have a marvelous day!

After making a pickup, Union Pacific's APOA4 departs WP Garfield while the HKYR departs UP Garfield with 70 cars the afternoon of Feb. 25, 1995.
We managed to run up the gantry at Haworth Station, just in time to catch the steam train before it moved on to Oxenhope!
An oldie revisited.......
Taken a couple of years ago during a visit to Dubbo Zoo with long time friend and fellow flickr tog Joe Micallef.
There were a group of these birds gathered outside the cafe looking for an easy feed.
Hope you like this.
Have a fantastic day, weekend and week ahead.
I greatly appreciate any comment, views or favorites - thanks.
Matilija Poppy has been called the "Queen of California Flowers". Unique and distinct, it is one of the most recognized and beloved of California’s native plants. The large white blooms are the size of a saucer. The petals look like wrinkled crepe paper, the center is a bright yellow disk. Some have likened the flower to the appearance of a fried egg. A solitary bloom is a very fine thing, but a large stand of Matilija in full bloom is a sight to behold! Hundreds of huge white flowers borne at eye-level on long straight stems, contrasted by attractive blue-green foliage… a real show stopper in late spring/early summer!
Thanks to everyone for stopping by to view, fave, and comment!!

Birds puff up their feathers to trap heat next to their body, or to dry out after a bath. They also fluff up their feathers when they are stressed or sick. Or while they are preening. And males may fluff up a bit when they are doing their courtship dancing...This one was seen Early morning on a TV Aerial ..
Looking downstream toward the Black Creek bridge. Finally the weather in southeast Georgia cooled off a bit after weeks with temperatures in the upper 90's. Clouds were rolling in and there was thunder off in the distance but I had just enough time to snap a few shots before I had to head back to my truck.
Gonna be on vacation the next two weeks. Click on full shot to count the birds. ;-)
See you in November! :-)
The “line_up“ is a paperwork series I developed since 2010. The “liners” are made out of paper (Din A3/A4),
oil paint and graphite. The theme is the hermetical laws of polarity and movement. There is no ending and no beginning in any direction, just an endless movement. You have the possibility to arrange the papers like you want and that makes it an endless playground for my photo-work and the eyes of the viewers.

On a sunny morning a few weeks back, 920 heads north from Waikouaiti up the short but relatively steep Tumai Bank.

Wittnauer up Close one of the few watches I have found in buying odd boxes of things, this one is vintage, found in North Carolina.
The last image from that evenings wander with the camera at Cissbury ring in Sussex, Think I may pop back there later as the weather has changed with some nice clouds about, a bit different than the forecast.
When Union Pacific reactivated some of their Centennial fleet during the Summer of 1984, I was only fortunate enough to catch one leading on just three occasions. This was also the only time I witnessed two in the same train!
Union Pacific #6923, 3197, 3659, 6927 and 3647 head West at Barstow in September of 1984.
