We had clear skies in Bethel, Vermont, on October 7, 2021, which enabled me to capture an image of the night sky at about 8:30 pm.
Ik was 2 dagen mee met de 2454 Crew DE-3 151 door Nederland met railmuseumsafari rit .
Op de 1e dag was er een mogelijkheid om op het station in Simpelveld een foto te maken voor er naar de SGB werd vertrokken met het nieuwe bordessein dat in de ochtend was ingehuldigd. DE-3 151 in Simpelveld op 3-7-2021.
Crescent City Sunset. © Copyright 2021 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
The sun sets beyond evening clouds and sea stacks along the Pacific Coast at Crescent City, California.
Earlier this month we got away for a few days of photography in far Northern California — the redwood country, but also the never-far-away coast. We stayed in Crescent City the first couple of nights, just below the Oregon border, since this place provides good access to several of the redwood parks. The days are very long in far Northern California at this time of year, and even with several hours of morning photography and several hours of work in the evening, there is a lot of “in between time.” On this day we decided to enjoy an early dinner in town before heading out for evening photography. Eventually we worked our way to this spot along a bluff at the edge of town.
I had a particular subject in mind when we arrived, but the conditions were evolving in a somewhat unexpected way. A weak weather front was approaching from the northwest, and it was clear that its cloud shield was going to block the sun as it descended toward the horizon. I made a few quick exposures in pseudo-evening light, and then the light went gray. It was difficult to say for sure, but it looked like there might be a gap between the bottom of the clouds and the ocean, and in anticipation of the sun’s light coming through that gap right at sunset I quickly moved to a different location that placed this sea stack with its small tree in line with some more distant rocks and the likely position of the setting sun.

02-november-2021: the morning solar heating and the persistence of cold air at high altitude, generated cloud cover and some showers, with snow above 1500m a.s.l.

You've gotta take the good days with the bad. Not all storm chases are going to be the one for the record books... hence this day.
Nice moderate risk day right on the Nebraska Kansas Border. We were in position again for a good chase but the storms formed just to our north and we stayed put due to guess on where the Cap was going to break that day.
All of the action was in southeast Nebraska right over the border. Though about 50 miles to our east. There was no way were going to catch up with them and all we had left was some pulse storm.
Not what I call and good day of chasing... but this happens and you can't get depressed. Its May....There will be more storms!

American Bison
The American Bison or simply Bison (Bison bison), also commonly known as the American Buffalo or simply Buffalo, is an American species of Bison that once roamed North America in vast herds. Its historical range, by 9000 BC, is described as the Great Bison Belt, a tract of rich grassland that ran from Alaska to the Gulf of Mexico, east to the Atlantic Seaboard (nearly to the Atlantic tidewater in some areas) as far north as New York and south to Georgia and, according to some sources, further south to Florida, with sightings in North Carolina near Buffalo Ford on the Catawba River as late as 1750. It nearly became extinct by a combination of commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century and introduction of bovine diseases from domestic cattle. With a population more than 60 million in the late 18th century, the species was down to just 541 animals by 1889. Recovery efforts expanded in the mid-20th century, with a resurgence to roughly 31,000 wild Bison today, largely restricted to a few national parks and reserves. Through multiple reintroductions, the species is now also freely roaming wild in some regions in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with it also being introduced to Yakutia in Russia.

Shot taken for Saturday Self Challenge 07/08/2021 - Stripes .
Looked about for some stripes out and about but didn't see that many ( checkout the first comment box for a triptyct of a few stripy captures ) . However , there are some stripes staring at me on the hall chest of drawers next to where I am always leaving cameras about . Yes it is Bagpuss , he has been here for a long time now and this week it is his turn for a picture to be taken here , sat comfy on a little rocking chair . To a degree there are some secondary stripes created by the back of the rocking chair as well .
Bagpuss is a British children's television series, made by Peter Firmin and Oliver Postgate through their company Smallfilms. The series of 13 episodes was first broadcast from Tuesday 12 February to Tuesday 7 May 1974. The title character was "a saggy, old cloth cat, baggy, and a bit loose at the seams". Although only 13 episodes were made, it remains fondly remembered, and was frequently repeated in the UK until 1986. In early 1999, Bagpuss topped a BBC poll for the UK's favourite children's television programme.
Each programme began in the same way: through a series of sepia photographs, the viewer is told of a little girl named Emily (played by Emily Firmin, the daughter of illustrator Peter Firmin), who owned a shop. Emily found lost and broken things and displayed them in the window, so their owners could come and collect them; the shop did not sell anything.
She would leave the object in front of her favourite stuffed toy, the large, saggy, pink and white striped cat named Bagpuss. Emily then recited a verse:
Bagpuss, dear Bagpuss
Old Fat Furry Catpuss
Wake up and look at this thing that I bring
Wake up, be bright, be golden and light
Bagpuss, oh hear what I sing
After Emily had left, Bagpuss woke up. The programme shifted from sepia to colour stop motion film, and various toys in the shop came to life: Gabriel the toad (who, unlike most Smallfilms characters, could move by a special device beneath his can without the use of stop motion animation) and a rag doll called Madeleine. The wooden woodpecker bookend became the drily academic Professor Yaffle (based on the philosopher Bertrand Russell, whom Postgate had once met), while the mice carved on the side of the "mouse organ" (a small mechanical pipe organ that played rolls of music) woke up and scurried around, singing in high-pitched voices. Sandra Kerr and John Faulkner provided the voices of Madeleine and Gabriel respectively, and put together and performed all the folk songs. All the other voices (including the narrator and one out-of-tune mouse) were provided by Postgate, who also wrote the stories.
The toys discussed what the new object was; someone (usually Madeleine) would tell a story related to the object (shown in an animated thought bubble over Bagpuss's head), often with a song, accompanied by Gabriel on the banjo (which often sounded a lot more like a guitar), and then the mice, singing in high-pitched squeaky harmony to the tune of Sumer Is Icumen In as they worked, mended the broken object. There was much banter between the characters, with the pompous Yaffle constantly finding fault with the playful mice: his complaint, 'Those mice are never serious!' became his main catchphrase. However, peace was always restored by the end of the episode, usually thanks to the timely intervention of Bagpuss, Gabriel or Madeleine. The newly mended thing was then placed in the shop window, so that whoever had lost it would see it as they went past, and could come in and claim it. Then Bagpuss would start yawning again, and as he fell asleep the narrator would speak as the colour faded to sepia and they all became toys again.
A trip down memory lane for those who remember Bagpuss
And for a tune , how about a bit of Neil Young ?

Grizzly Bear
The Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis), also known as the North American brown bear or simply Grizzly, is a population or subspecies of the Brown Bear inhabiting North America.
Grizzlies, like black bears, come in a variety of colors. They can range from blond to nearly black. Sometimes they have silver-tipped guard hairs that give them a "grizzled" appearance. Grizzlies often have a dished-in face and a large hump of heavy muscle above the shoulders. Their claws are around four inches long. Grizzlies usually weigh around 300-600 pounds but can grow up to 1,400 pounds. Adult Grizzlies can be six feet or more when standing on hind legs, and three to four feet when standing on all fours. Based on a multi-year DNA study, it's estimated that there are roughly 750 grizzly bears living within the Greater Yellowstone Area.

Pictures from a quick spin through campus on Tuesday January 12th, 2021. I did notice some squirrels with mange. Luckily, I had my medicated pecans. Fun brief visit with my squirrels. The campus was mostly empty except for the squirrels. It will be like that this Winter Term. Sending love and virtual hugs from Ann Arbor, Michigan.

We are all celebrating the arrival of 2021, or should I say the departure of 2020. Louie in particular is hoping for much more meemaw and peepaw time this year. Those are his favorite humans that he’s not been able to see. Happy New Year 12 Month family!
Am 25. September 2021 verkehrte der "Cityjet" 4744.057 als R 7533 von Payerbach-Reichenau nach Mürzzuschlag. Seit auf jeder Station der Semmeringbahn Fahrkarten-Automaten aufgestellt wurden, gestaltet sich der Einsatz von Fahrzeugen freizügiger - sowohl Desiros wie auch Talente verkehren als Regionalzüge. Bei Eichberg konnte ich den modernen Triebzug aufnehmen. Wenn man genau hinsieht, erkennt man im Tal schon den Zug, auf den neben mir schon zahlreiche Fotografen warteten...
On September 25, 2021, "Cityjet" 4744.057 ran as R 7533 from Payerbach-Reichenau to Mürzzuschlag. Since ticket vending machines have been installed at every station on the Semmeringbahn, the use of vehicles has become more flexible - both "Desiros" and "Talent" operate as regional trains. At Eichberg, I was able to take a picture of the modern multiple unit. If you look closely, you can already see the train in the valley, for which numerous photographers were already waiting next to me...

Frágil el musgo y el liquen, y frágil la flor
-cada flor- y cada insecto que la flor abriga.
Frágil el silencio y frágil el agua
que cae numerosa en ágiles gotas de luz.
Frágiles los bordes delicados de la piedra
pulidos por el roce del tiempo,
y la luz y la niebla y las nubes lentas,
tan cerca del cielo.
Frágil el obscuro espejo de laguna y su suelo
de quietud, y el terso frailejón, y cada sociedad
de plantas amigas que florecen únicas
en colonias de pequeñas hojas brillantes.
Frágil el aire susurrante y su rumor,
y los altos rayos ardientes del sol.
Frágil el azufrado olor a infierno
y sus aguas y lodos de colores diversos.
Frágil el hielo y la lava fría y el peligroso viento
en las cumbres, blancas, lejanas, desiertas.
Y el cóndor y su vuelo
alto y solitario sobre las nieves perpetuas.
Frágiles descendemos el frágil páramo del amor.

There was a wedding with Bai ethnic people in Shangri-La. Some old women noticed my presence nearby.
Yesterday, on December 18th, our farmers drove through our village with around 100 tractors, agricultural machinery and trucks decorated for Christmas. It's supposed to be a symbol of hope in this times
