When I was going by the Shepherds of Good Hope today Kevin asked me to take his picture. Kevin only shakes or bumps fists with his left hand. He thought that was important and wanted me to pass that information along.
When I took this shot I could see the light on the grass but I never thought the light would show up on the grass as much as this .
When cleaning out my daughters bicycle bag, this pretty lady came running out to greet us. I kept her for a night to take some photos before she was safely returned to the yard. P audax is definitely my favorite of the Salticidae found in my area - they also happen to be the largest of the salticid family in my area. Even this very small P. audax is many times larger than the other jumping spiders I just posted. I'd say they are my favorite spider, period, but it's a close call with some of the Lycosidae (wolf spiders) I find around here. Though the P. audax has pretty generic colorings and marking, the bright green, yellow and sometimes blue chelicerae makes up for the bright colors that many other Salticidae have.
P. audax are very inquisitive little spiders and don't shy from humans as quickly as many other spiders. They live in a very broad region and are commonly found around and inside houses. Their bite is NOT MEDICALLY SIGNIFICANT. Though, just like all spiders, they have venom, it does not have any affect on humans barring the very rare infection or allergic reaction. They are, however, great at assisting in controlling pest insects like flies and mosquitos, so they should be seen as a welcomed house guest rather than a target for shoes or newspaper - hint hint.
Tech - Canon 70d, YN560 speedlite and homemade diffuser, Canon 100mm macro usm (non L), and either a raynox 250 achromat or a set (65mm) of Zeikos automatic extension tubes (forget and cant tell which for this shot which should be a testament to how good the Raynox is).

When playing hide & seek if you were hiding in a teapot and you hear the kettle boiling it's time to move!!!
Often, when the clouds were looking interesting, we would head to the village of Khao Lam. Near the village, there we nice places to take pictures, especially over this swampy reservoir.
This lake was home to many whistling ducks as well as different kinds of Jacana and also the very beautiful Grey-headed swamphen.

Built by Shamsu'd-Din Iltutmish himself in 1235, the tomb of Iltutmish lies to the northwest of the Quwwatu'l Islam Mosque of New Delhi. Though, there was a gap of only five years between the constructions of Sultan Ghauri's tomb and this tomb, it is much different and serves as an example of development phase in Indo-Islamic architecture. Unlike his predecessors, Iltutmish abstained from using the material obtained from the demolition of temples. However, the arches and semi-domes of this tomb were built in the indigenous architectural style. The tomb chamber has a red sand stone cenotaph in its centre.
Originally, this cenotaph was covered by a dome, which fell, only to be replaced by Feroze Shah Tughluq. However, even the second dome could not survive long and only its ruins can be seen now. There are three 'mehrabs' in the west that were used for offering prayers. The tomb has plain and stark exteriors, but its interiors are lavishly ornamented with geometrical and arabesque patterns in Saracenic tradition. Along with this, ancient Hindu motifs, such as wheel, bell-and-chain, tassel, lotus and diamond, can also be seen here. It was these carvings that led Fergusson to remark that this tomb is 'one of the richest examples of Hindu art applied to Mohammedan purposes'.

When I was shooting Godafoss after sunrise, the sky was not good toward South (waterfalls side). But it was interesting on the other side, where there is no interesting subject.
You know which direction I would enjoy shooting haha. I ignored the world famous Godafoss without any hesitation :D

With CP 286 with CP 7023 leading slow rollin' up to Norma for UP CNAOK to clear the switches with UP 1943 bringing up the rear, it was inevitable the two units would meet somewhere in the Des Plaines area. Right in front of me however, I was not expecting. 286 kept moving through slowly, and when I thought it would block me out totally, CNAOK's rear DPU popped out of the brush.
When is the Full Moon in October 2022?
This month, the Full Moon will occur on October 9 at
4:55 p.m. EDT (20:55 GMT). At this time, our natural satellite will lie in the constellation Pisces. It will appear full for about three days, so you'll have plenty of time to walk under the moonlight.
What is the Hunter's Moon?
The Hunter's Moon is not associated with a particular month. In short, it is the Full Moon that comes right after the Harvest Moon.
Hunter's Moon and Harvest Moon
You might recall that the Harvest Moon is the Full Moon closest to the autumnal equinox, which comes in September in the Northern Hemisphere and March in the Southern Hemisphere. The Harvest Moon may occur either in September or October (and in March or April in the Southern Hemisphere).
The Hunter's Moon is the first Full Moon to follow the Harvest Moon. This means it may take place in October or November (in the Southern Hemisphere - in April or May).
Why is it called the Hunter's Moon?
The farmers had traditionally finished reaping their fields under the light of the Harvest Moon. By the time of the next Full Moon, the fields were clean, so the hunters could easily see the animals prowling in search of food before the winter. Moreover, at this time of the month, the Moon rises at around dusk and sets at around dawn. The moonlight allowed the hunters to track down the prey into the late evening.
I started a series with the title »When the night comes« at early winter 2013. The first 5 shots were taken at a wonderful night at Herzogstand, Bavaria. Now having some similar shots taken at another region (regarding conditons of taking the photos), I thought it could be senseful to proceed that series.
This one was made at the summit of Sonnjoch, Karwendel, where I went uo in the evening to stay there with my tent. This one was made at the end of dusk wwhen the stars became visible and the half moon illumintead the scenery.
Regarding the title:
Taking the first shots of that series, I had the beautiful song »When the night comes« in my head, written 1991 by Inga Rumpf with here band »Frumpy«. It was fitting perfect to the atmosphere with both dynamic rythmics and romantic mood.
When I Read I Dream heads on Disney VIP (Cece Jones) bodies. The girls wear Dollsahoy dresses and a combination of VIP and Monster High shoes.
Their dolls are Polly Pocket mix & match (Pop & Swap) dolls, and two are hybrids using Petal Pixie (Mattel Fairytopia) heads.
When in Norway, it is worth going for a walk in the Norwegian woods!
It is a pleasant walk on asphalt up along the Flåm River, which starts as runoff from the Omnsbreen Glacier, and travels 40 kilometres (25 miles) before emptying into the Aurlandsfjord on the other side of town.

When SELNEC took over from eleven municipal bus operators in November 1969, one of its first problems was to decide on a paint scheme for the new fleet. It was decided to make a clean break with the colours of the old fleets, and a scheme of 'sunglow' orange with broken white was adopted. Number 53, which had been delieverd new in Manchester's red and cream, was chosen as an early guinea pig for the new scheme, and was posed at the back of the Hyde Road depot and works complex for an official photo.
The railway lines in the background are just outside Ardwick on the line from Manchester to Sheffield via Woodhead - now cut back to Glossiop and Hadfield. If you ride past this spot today on a train, it is the area just before Ardwick station (if you're travelling towards Manchester) on the left, that is today used as a container storage yard.

When your 8yo kid is crazy about and brilliant at mountain biking.
I'm pretty fit and skilled on a mountain bike but my son will be kicking my butt long before he reaches his teens. Building a good MTB to suit a 128cm/23kg kid is a challenge though. This bike is actually built on a youth cyclocross frame with 26" wheels. It's so tiny that there's toe overlap with 140mm cranks, well at least if I try to ride it. Anyhow we've been experimenting with different setups and have it pretty dialed in now.
Fun fact: We run his 47mm tires at well under 1 bar.
Fun fact 2: The bike weighs 9.0kg. That's light for a mountain bike but ufortunately almost 40% as much as its rider.
