Sidecar Racing Cadwell Park

As well as scooter racing, yesterday classic Motobike meet at Cadwell Park included sidecars (racing along with three-wheelers such as Morgans). It was obviously a challenge to keep the third wheel on the ground when corning and various positions were adopted not always successfully!! Happily only a couple of occasions when the 'passenger' parted company with the bike and then no serious injuries.

Scooter Racing

I am attending a Classic Motorbike weekend with Phil and Peter and it includes Scooter racing. They have been customised in lots of ways and colours but still sound like a swarm of angry hornets. Still working on the panning technique!!

Lakenheath Spiders

There were plenty of spiders at Lakebheath with some very colourful species including three species of Araneus  - A. marmoreus, A. quadratus and A. diadematus 

Lakenheath Minilife

I decided to give my Zeiss Touit 50mm macro lens an outing on Wednesday at Lakenheath reserve. Here a Scorpion fly, Common Froghopper, Spiked Shieldbugs, small ichneumon wasp, Robber Fly, Hoverfly, Angleshades moth and Comma butterfly.

 

Red Sky in the Morning

 There is the old saying that when the dawn is very red then bad weather is forecast. Certainly not true yesterday where a beautiful sunrise heralded a perfect warm sunny day. At the same time, the full moon was just visible setting through the light cloud and mist to the west

Soft Misty Dawn

As there was an autumnal feel to the dawn yesterday with a soft mist, I visited our local sunflower field This year, it is quite sparse allowing isolation of the individual heads against a soft background. The sunrise itself never quite happened and it then started raining but not before I had played a bit with compositions trying to decide how many trees to include!!
