She decided she had seen enough at that point, so we start walking back up the trail towards the hotel, and and we see a young coral snake crossing the path in front of us.

That was the last walk she wanted to do with me after dark - - - but I was now on a new mission to photograph a tailless whip scorpion. I found a total of five different individuals on this trip, but was only able to photograph the one below. If you have never seen one before, check out this YouTube video, you will either be fascinated, frightened or both - - -
Terry, great story and great shot.

After many trips to the city over the years, I finally made it to the Flatiron District today. Should have come here way before this. The Flatiron Building is fascinating to behold. Such superb architecture. I'd love to see the inside of some of the offices.

Another shot from a more conventional perspective.

Cool shots Mark. I've seen dozens of pictures of that building, but never been.

Thanks, Ed. This is probably our 5th or 6th trip to NYC and this is the first time I made it to the Flatiron Bldg. And it's not that far from our usual hotel. Took me no time to get here today.

Back to Sonoma - - - found this cute little guy/girl outside my friends house last weekend. There were twins, but I was using the 90mm macro and wasn't able to get a good photo of them together.

North Avenue Beach in Chicago. Looks a bit like Cape Cod.

The Jacobite

I'm over on the West Coast (of Scotland) for a week of walking and climbing, but as today wasn't a day for the mountains, too wet and windy with low cloud over the tops, I did a bit of trainspotting instead !
Here's 'The Jacobite' from Fort William to Mallaig, hauled by LMS Black 5 locomotive 45407 'The Lancashire Fusilier'.

Thanks Dave and Mark.
No HDR just playing with highlights and shadows because of the poor light and weather. I'm not even too sure about the processing in general as it's done on my travelling laptop rather than my desktop at home.
Hope it looks OK ?

The Osprey didn't like the TV being around, but he didn't seem too intimidated.
