out for a bimble with camera looking for butterflies, dragonflies and damselflys - on a woodland track aproaching a corner where a small stream runs across the track - saw a bird in my periferal vision head up into the tree from the track, edged around until I spotted it - had my 150 macro on and this is a big crop - a Goshawk ! well happy to have seen it even for just a quick glimpse

More weirdo activities, My no expense 70cm ( 430-440 mhz) Ham radio antenna made from scrap materials. This is for portable operation from High ground. The antenna fits on the end of a piece for PVC drainage pipe as a light weight mast.

Messing around with the Pentax smc "m" 50mm f1.7 on my Olympus EM1 mk1 today.
Took these in the garden for fun, but quite like them for some reason.

These are the leaves from our Japanese maple, lovely reddish colour.


This is a pin wheel the wife bought to keep the birds from digging in the trough lol. I just like the colours in it, even though it is not a great photo.

Taken for the Flickr Macro Mondays challenge - this week it's "Imperfect",

In 1900, the Chilean postal authorities realised that they had insufficient stocks of 5 centavo stamps, but had a superfluity of the 30 centavo values. They therefore surcharged some of the 30c stock to make temporary 5c stamps. Unfortunately, some of these were printed with the surcharge inverted.

When it comes to Grey Squirrels, the only good one is a dead one.

Discovered underneath two mannequins (don't ask) in the loft as I began a bit of preparatory clearing out (I am told we need to downsize).
