gvallee 2,916 Posted August 2 I uploaded more birds today. Out of curiosity, I checked my stats. In total, I've licensed 232 bird pictures at Alamy. That's why I stick to it even if it's not a prime wanted subject. Now if I were to find a bird with a mask... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or should I say 'used to be' Not us at Lee Point, we're in Batchelor. Back to Darwin on Tuesday for a new shock absorber. Must have been one bulldust hole too many... You would recognise us from the sticker at the front 'home is where we park it'. And the roos and emus decals on the sides.

MizBrown 296 Posted August 12 Some older ones that I just uploaded: A male Blue-tipped Dancer (Argia tibialis) on a dock overlooking a pond in Eakins Park, Fairfax County, Virginia. Female Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly (Papilio glaucus) feeding on Wild Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) in Shenandoah National Park. Winter at the Rocky Knob Visitor Center, Blue Ridge Parkway milepost 167, also near Mabry Mill and the towns of Floyd and Woolwine. Couple of good hiking trails start here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cbimages 600 Posted August 13 Always like to find this tiny shrimps (maximum size 15mm) but they are so hard to shoot. They live underneath sea stars, so when I turn the sea star over to search for them, they quickly scurry to the top....which is now the bottom. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Mitchell 4,348 Posted August 13 (edited) The COVID-19 blues has set in, so I've been experimenting with converting some older images to black and white. Here's one I like of the parish church in the old Mexican mining town of Mineral de Pozos. I guess you could call this activity a travel replacement.

It was around 100 F out, when I was there, so I made some quick shots of the rooftop. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TABan 178 Posted August 21 (edited) On August 10 a powerful derecho blasted through Iowa and Illinois. It was most severe in the Cedar Rapids, Iowa area and was equivalent to a category 2 hurricane. It’s not getting much attention from the national media and may be unknown outside the US. I drove the 300 or so km from Chicago on Tuesday. Here are a few images. Edit: Here's what Wiley Plaza looked like before the storm. https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/2125-2129-Wiley-Blvd-Cedar-Rapids-IA/16476284/ Edit 2: It now is estimated some areas of Cedar Rapids experienced winds of 140mph/233kph, making the storm equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane.
