On Sunday 28th of Octiober, i went out to try my super telephoto lens, and boy am impressed. I was standing on the edge of the pond and zoomed all the way out to 600mm.

This was taken at the local reservior on my monopod. As you can see, this drake (greenhead) was giving himself a good prune. And again the reflection in the water is showing.

Hopefully your not getting fed up with all the Bluebell images, only a couple more to come but i`ll space them out with other shots.

It`s been a while since I shot this one, I think it was a focus stack of some that I brought home to shoot.

They are such a lovely flower in the field but close up they look more purple than blue.

UP

Before DPU was introduced, UP was known for very long locomotive consists. Nowadays such configurations became rare, but they are still possible. A nice 5x consist lead by AC4400 #6391 passed Devils Slide. With GP38 #531 even a standard cab unit was part of the story, unfortunately only in position five.

UP 7100 has found the end of the low hanging clouds, presumably rolling into sunlight for the first time that day. It’s just another train and another shot that reminds me of why I’m caring less and less about the photos and more about having a good time. Occasionally there are trains worth tracking down, but it’s become much more enjoyable to just fuck around and see whatever I see.

Teilhard's theology was, in a sense, Franciscan Christology now seen through the lens of modern science and evolution. When Teilhard discovered Duns Scotus's notion of the primacy of Christ through the Sicilian Franciscan Father Allegra, he exclaimed: “There is the theology of the future!”16 With Teilhard I began to appreciate the critical role evolution plays in shifting the understanding of God from static to dynamic, from eternal presence to God of the future. Understanding Jesus as the Christ could only make sense in light of evolution, if indeed Incarnation and creation are one and the same act of God's self-giving love.

My only shot showing the head of this species, Argiope aurantia, the Black & Yellow Garden Spider. The dragonfly prey appears to be hanging precariously. Perhaps one or more of the three tiny Argyrodes kleptoparasites in view had been cutting away at its support? Subsequently the Garden Spider added reinforcement and hauled it up to safety. Maybe some shots of that, eventually.

Happy Arachtober!

Taken a while back, but some recent reviewing showed this one had something I never noticed at the time. How many birds can you spot in this one?

RawTherapee was the work horse for getting this one right. Used an older GIMP to get the hues more interesting and palatable too.

A fantastic day going up my favourite mountain on the mainland, Liathach. The Eastern top of Stuc a Choire Dhuibh Bhig provides a fantastic panoramic viewpoint. The ridge of Liathach always holds my attention though, as the light plays across it's slopes. This was my first ever summer ascent, and was sooooo hot . Wake up sunshine is by Chicago.

I've been going through photos and touching up the ones I was never really happy with; they had the potential to be good (or at least better) and I didn't know how, at the time, to really bring forth the beauty and atmosphere that I had intended to capture. So, I'll be posting some "Touch-Ups" every now and then of photos I've already posted.

This is Reynisdrangar in Vik, Iceland. My original photo (www.flickr.com/photos/gwennyma/16531614489/in/album-72157...) is a bland, gray landscape, but I wanted to show the fierce weather, the dramatic black sand, and the craggy rocks as they were meant to be. I hope you like this version more and that it gives that sense of the cold, harsh, and unique raw beauty that I experienced.

Agony or victory?

Go ahead and take your best shot,

Let 'er rip, give it all you've got,

I'm laid out on the floor, but I've been here before,

I may stumble, yeah I might fall,

Only human aren't we all?

I might lose my way, but hear me when I say,

I will stand back up,

You'll know just the moment when I've have enough,

Sometimes I'm afraid, and I don't feel that tough,

But I'll stand back up,

I've been beaten up and bruised,

I've been kicked right off my shoes,

Been down on my knees more times than you'd believe,

When the darkness tries to get me,

There's a light that just won't let me,

It might take my pride, and my tears may fill my eyes,

But I'll stand back up,

I've weathered all these storms,

But I just turn them into wind, so I can fly,

What don't kill you makes you stronger,

When I take my last breath,

That's when I'll just give up,

So, go ahead to take your best shot,

Let 'er rip, give it all you've got,

You might win this round but you can't keep me down,

'Cause I'll stand back up,

And you'll know just the moment when I've had enough,

Sometimes I'm afraid and I don't feel that tough,

But I'll stand back up,

You'll know just the moment when I've had enough,

Sometimes I'm afraid and I don't feel that tough,

But I'll stand back up.
