Beach Doggy

Bailey's first trip to the beach. Once he got used to the feeling of the sand, he loved it!
I wondered if the sound of the waves would scare him, but he didn't seem bothered by that at all.
One more after the jump.

A 36-shot focus stack of a couple of sporophytes on a bit of moss from the garden. 5x magnification with the MP-E65mm on the WeMacro focus rail, and a little bit of cropping.
I've included a photo of the setup after the jump showing just how much magnification is going on here!

Tired and sore in the ankle...
Too much time on my feet and squatting down over the last few days has really made my ankle flare up this evening.
The technical demo today went much better than I had expected though, and I've also managed to get to the cause of a strange issue I was experiencing on one of our new circuit breakers.
Hopefully the first step to finding a solution!

Another flat-out day (and evening) again today, in preparation for a customer visit Thursday.
I will be civil to said customers, I will try and persuade the technology in question to do suitably technical things, and then I will crawl home, roll up in a very small ball, and switch my brain off.

This one's a backup image, taken a couple of nights ago, as I've not had chance to get the camera out at all today!

A very busy day today, including working a decent chunk of the evening machining some parts for the project I'm working on at work.
I can't really share those parts, but these assorted screws go some way to telling the story of the day...

A surprisingly colourful end to a relatively dull, grey evening.
I went out and sat by the river, just to get out of the house for a bit this evening. Nothing was inspiring me there, but as it was coming up on sunset, I took a more scenic route home in the hope of catching a photo.
I ended up stood in this field taking photos of the grasses and crops against the pink sky, when the clouds abruptly parted, and an intense red ray shone out across the field.
This is one of the resulting photos.
I enjoyed the moment, and I'm quite pleased with this one.
