Your picture of the day...

[S.C.M.]

I can see it, but right click doesn't bring any public link options... I get a "share" and from that a "get link"

if you can see this, that works, otherwise I'm doing something wrong!

your photo is acorns in a relatives hand right?

I went to my local beach last night to shoot sunset hoping for the right break in the clouds which I didnt get but the light was good anyway so here is the results.

Here is a handheld shot taken with my Olympus E-M5 and the 14-42 EZ lens.

Ha! I can do this but you probably can't. Having searched the dropbox help section I have found that if you created your dropbox account after October 4th 2012 then you won't have a 'Public folder'. This is where the pic of my daughters hand holding an acorn is sitting.

You can create a 'Public folder' by following the instructions here but only if you are a 'Pro' user.

Back to Photobucket I guess.

yup ,that'll be it, most likely. Oh well, thanks for the help
I'll have to install the photobucket app then, becasue my phone and computer don't get along
(my pic is now visible, btw, and it's not as dangerous as it looks!)

Yes it is a Dormouse & yes a licence is required. However it was all legal with a happy ending. ( To my relief as it was just a judgment call) It started when I saw a mouse.

Sam (in the chainsaw trousers) was told not to move so we could take photos. Waste of time as the mouse happily posed for ages.

http://s952.photobucket.com/user/MikeBlue/library/Doormouse?sort=2&page=1 for 50 + photos

An attept by the warden & myself to move it to a safe suitable area was a total failure as it just jumped on me. (Que lots more photos) we them wandered around trying to find so cover for it to no avail.

The mouse was in the wrong habitat & awake when it should be hibernating. Also look small & not very fat to our rather inexperienced eyes. We managed to persuade it into a welding glove & sealed it in with gaffer tape (another new use of gaffer tape)

Them I drove it to Wildwood a few miles away. as they have a licence etc. One of their experts (Hazel) checked her.( After cutting up my glove to get her out)

Female small from a late litter last year ( slightly grey colour apparently) also under weight for January. Very unlikely to survive until spring.

Last photos are the mouse getting weighed on a bag ( & unhappy about it ) Looks much happier in Hazels Licensed hands. As they didn't have a mouse from that area in their captive breeding program, they will keep here with a view of releasing the offspring.

A little bit of paperwork to cover everyone legally. & she is joining about 30 other dormice at Wildwood.

Almost every time the right thing is the leave alone. This time small underweight in January in a destroyed habitat with a licensed rescue centre close by, there was another option.


Good day in the woods. Foe some reason not as much work was done as usual

That's brilliant! Well done to all concerned. It would be hard to resist an opportunity to thake the shot regardless. Nice one.

@Brancho Love that beach picture. One day I would love to be able to take a photo like that.

Very nice. Gotta love that late light. I'm a big fan of the Lee Big Stopper, but they seem to be everwhere these days

Thanks mate.
I ysed to want a 10 stopper but I am not too bothered now. No nd filters used on those 3.

Great shots guys of the bird and the sea. I like how the birds feathers really shine in the light and the dark evening light really gives the coastal pictures a feeling of mood.

I went around our village looking for new growth today.

Found some early purple orchid leaves popping through.

Next was a small but beautiful Scarlet Cup fungus.

Also the Snowdrops are coming through grand now.

Cheers

George
