Sunset, viewed with some Talisker in a tin mug in hand, while Ravens flapped about shouting "cronk" at each other and a breeze had just picked up to blow the midges away.

Ok, just over a week out - I neglected to add to this thread last week!

This I'm very happy with (including the 'favourite' from Tim Parkin of all people!), and it's an image I've had in mind for years, but it's extremely hard to get the correct combination of all the elements (not least because Bog Cotton is almost invariably found in damp hollows and will therefore never be amenable to sunset backlighting!)

Bog Cotton Sunset (2):
http://www.flickr.com/photos/drupka/9212094720/

I've tried to go back to get a better (sharper and with less out-of-focus foreground) version when it's been less windy, but the light has not been as good (and the midgies have been murder - I can cover myself up - but they turn up in shot!)

I seem to be in some kind of 'bucolic backlit loveliness' phase at the moment - here's something else from a sunset a couple of weeks ago that I finally got round to processing:

Nice but a bit too reminiscent of a certain type of 70's flock wallpaper?

Sometimes the Lake District has some 'Livesey Light':

Unfortunately I only had my compact with me (I'd been climbing), so it's not as sharp or detailed as the scene 'deserved'.
(The camera 'decided' on a very blue white-balance which I can only correct a little given the compact only produces jpegs).

First time browsing flickr for a while this week and have enjoyed seeing your recent shots.

Also, dug out the camera for the first time in a while this week - prompted by spotting a Bee-eater in the area.
Tracked down its nest hole.

Whilst this shot achieved what I was after it also shows a fault I know I have, which is to use wider apertures when sometimes I'd be better off using something a little narrower. I was after getting the caterpillar's head in focus; but if I'd chosen a focus point half way down the caterpillar and a narrower aperture I could have got the whole thing in focus whilst isolating it from the background and stem in the foreground.

Thanks. Yes, all patterns in the sand. For scale, they were about 30-40cm in length. There was a fairly flat area of sand just above them, so the drainage was very leisurely, giving the patterns time to develop.

I photographed something similar just along the coast at the same time last year:
