As the "polar vortex" closes in on us and drags the temperature back past freezing, I thought we could all use a reminder that Spring is on it's way... it just keeps ignoring the GPS and taking wrong turns.
Today was a mix of weather, sunshine, rain, hail, snow and more sunshine, knowing the day would be erratic weather wise I grabbed the camera as the sun was coming up and took advantage of the morning dew.
The first of the year! I'm sure more will follow since I'm such a fan of these shots.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

It appears that it will be a decent year for this species along the New England coast as several beaches from New Hampshire to Cape Cod have reported a few birds each.
It appears that this cowboy is going to get trampled by the bucking bronco he had just been trying to ride. Russian River Rodeo.
This will appear in my album ‘Grim Up North’ but that is not a slight. It’s just a term for northern architecture and culture. In my opinion, it’s fab up north (England)
I've noticed these lovely little fairy houses popping up in random places around our local neighbourhood recently. They are actually hand-painted seashells and are a really sweet and thoughtful touch, especially in these trying days. Happy Window Wednesday!

My hanging baskets appear to have a problem - at least one of them does. It's sprouted small yellow/brown toadstools in the last couple of days.
The first signs of autumn appearing on my walk through the Victoria Esplanade Gardens in Palmerston North yesterday. A little set of autumnal leaves beautifully backlit and offset by the still lush green trees behind.

This coyote appeared to be a youth. He passed through the field where I was birding this morning, its fur is a bit damp from the dew. It gave me the side glance a few times as it passed through the field. Don't worry, pup. Godspeed on your hunt. (But please don't get any cool birds 😜).
Another colorful leader and consist appeared on the Seligman Sub today with an ethanol train from Lawler, IA to Stockton, CA. The train originated at the Homeland Energy Solutions plant and was handed off from the CPKC to the BNSF at Kansas City. BNSF is running it as the U-CLHEES7-30A with 98 loads at 5832' and 13,582 tons. Here the CSXT 3424 and 249, and KCSM 4515 have them climbing out of the sag at Bootlegger and into the curve under the San Francisco Peaks. Looking back over the train, one will see 2 BNSF mid-train DP's providing another 8800hp. The entire scene should be under the cover of snow, but the warm winter has prevented any moisture from staying in place except for at the extreme elevations of northern Arizona.
appears this very plane may be the one that burned today whilst taxying out to RWY 28 at Ft Lauderdale... plane was destined for Caracas...built in 1986, this plane was operated by Dynamic International, headquartered in Greensboro,N.Carolina...the link below explains the incident... no fatalities..few injuries amongst the 160 aboard...

A coast live oak appears to cup the Sun within it's long branches like a bowl of hot soup.
It's basically having lunch. The oak tree takes in carbon dioxide and water molecules and makes food with the Sun. The energy from sunlight causes a chemical reaction to break down the molecules of carbon dioxide and water and reorganizes them to make the sugar (glucose) and oxygen gas. The oxygen is released from the same tiny holes through which the carbon dioxide entered.

Cairns appear as alien relics on the barren landscape at the summit of Mount Washington, in the Mount Washington State Park in New Hampshire. These act as trail markers above the tree line. They are placed close together so that it's possible to find the next one along the trail in the often-dense clouds or snow that cover the summit. These examples mark the path of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail just as it approaches the summit of the mountain near Yankee House and radio towers from the west.

Frogspawn appeared in my small garden pond this morning. About a week earlier than the previous earliest appearance in the last 10 years. A male frog was encased in solid ice in the recent sub-zero temperatures and did not survive so I was not optimistic of seeing any spawn this Spring.
This would have been so much better half an hour earlier. But I was otherwise engaged with my daily cappuccino so there

Centaurus A, also known as NGC 5128, is a peculiar lenticular galaxy in the constellation Centaurus, which appears to be an elliptical galaxy with a huge superimposed dust lane. It is one of the closest radio galaxies, and its active galactic nucleus has been extensively studied.
Discovery and Identity
NGC 5128 was discovered by James Dunlop on August 4, 1826. John Herschel was next to see it, from South Africa in 1834; he cataloged it as h 3501, which became GC 3525 in his General Catalogue of 1864, and NGC 5128 in J. L. E. Dreyer's New General Catalog. Herschel was first to note this galaxy's peculiarity, in 1847.
Halton Arp included NGC 5128 in his 1966 Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies as one of the best examples of a "disturbed" galaxy with dust absorption.
Amateur Observation
Centaurus A appears approximately 4° north of the naked-eye globular cluster Omega Centauri. At magnitude 7.0, this galaxy is the fifth brightest in the sky, making it ideal for observation, although it is only visible from the southern hemisphere and low northern latitudes. Centaurus A has been spotted with the naked eye by expert observers under very good conditions. The bright central bulge and dark dust lane are visible in finderscopes and large binoculars, and additional structure may be seen in larger telescopes.
NGC 5128 is a "lenticular" galaxy, of intermediate type between elliptical and disk (spiral) galaxies. Its main body has all characteristics of a large elliptical, but a pronounced dust belt is superimposed over the center, forming a disk plane around this galaxy.
The only supernova discovered in Centaurus A so far is SN 1986G, a Type Ia event that reached mag 12.5 in May, 1986.
Properties and Evolution
Centaurus A is located about 11 million light-years away, at the center of one of two subgroups within the Centaurus A/M83 Group. Messier 83 (the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy) is at the center of the other subgroup. These two groups are sometimes identified as one, since the galaxies around Centaurus A and the galaxies around M 83 are physically close to each other, and both subgroups appear to be stationary relative to each other. The Centaurus A/M83 Group is part of the Virgo Supercluster.
NGC 5128's strange morphology is the result of a merger between two smaller galaxies. The bulge of Centaurus A is comprised mainly of evolved red stars. Its dusty disk, however, has been the site of more recent star formation; over 100 star formation regions have been identified in the disk. As observed in other such "starburst" galaxies, a collision is responsible for the intense star formation. Scientists using the Spitzer Space Telescope have confirmed that Centaurus A is an elliptical galaxy going through a collision, devouring a spiral.
In the radio part of the spectrum, Centaurus A exhibits two vast regions of radio emission, running along the polar axis of NGC 5128's disk and extending hundreds of light years in both directions. A relativistic jet from what is believed to be a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy is responsible for emissions in the X-ray and radio wavelengths. Radio observations of the jet indicate that the inner parts of the jet are moving at about 1/2 the speed of light. X-rays are produced farther out, as the jet collides with surrounding gases, creating highly energetic particles.

Our AirBnB host had slipped a page into the guest book saying "My favorite place to stargaze in the desert is a plot of land out in the middle of Wonder Valley. I call it the Star Box. It's far from light pollution and you'll be all alone out there. Venmo $25 for access to the land. I do not take responsibility for nails or glass in tires. Arrive before sunset or you'll never find the place." The tire thing worried us, but we paid up, got the coords, and checked it out in daylight - soft sand road, but seemed fine. It was indeed magical - I hadn't seen a sky this big before - free of obstructions in every direction, ringed by distant mountains all the way around, a totally enveloping experience. I'd expected the temps to drop with nightfall, but a warm wind persisted. We ate pizza and watched the North Star appear, then watched as cosmos lit up. The downside of the location for astro photography is that there were no landmarks, so there's nothing to include (skies with stars and nothing else are boring). But we had fun doing some light painting in the desert while we waited for the full star show. Amazing evening.

This dragonfly appears to be missing half of a wing which may explain why he was reluctant to fly away. It was also very breezy which may be another reason he chose to remain stationary for a long period of time. It's very likely that the dragonfly had a close encounter with a bird that got part of his wing but didn't manage to catch him.
After a few days on the road with an unstoppable rain, we finally arrived to Alesund, where a huge sunset appeared behind the clouds that filled sky.

A new mural has appeared on the wall of the renovated tenement house. It is dedicated to Jan Kowalewski - a certified lieutenant colonel of the Polish Army, a mathematician, linguist and cryptologist. Founder of the cryptology and radio intelligence department in Poland after regaining independence after the First World War. He broke Soviet codes during the war with the Bolsheviks (1919), for many years he was an officer of the Second Department of the General Staff.
The mural is made with an interesting technique (it reminds me a bit of the Matrix movie). Here, the execution technique is associated with decoding the ciphers.

Studies In The Art Of The Slack Key
by Bill Adams
The Waimea Music Exchange store at Parker Center was filled with the beautiful sounds of Hawaiian music this past Saturday morning as a group of students from Cornell University participated in a slack key guitar lesson taught by the Big Island's own Don Kauli'a, whose album "Sweet Wahine" was nominated for a 2008 Grammy Award.
The students are enrolled in Cornell's Earth and Environmental Systems (EES) Field Program. A 5-month course which spans the entire spring semester, students engage in field, class and laboratory studies focused on the various ecosystems of our Hawaiian island chain and of Hawaii's history and culture.
Led by Professor Dr. Alexandra Moore, the EES Field Program is based out of Waimea and hosted by the Hawaii Preparatory Academy. The students' living quarters is the 8-bedroom Waiaka House near the main campus of HPA.
Dr. Moore explained, "The students are immersed in studies geared towards "Kumu Pa'a I Ka 'Aina, which translates to 'Knowledge and understanding that comes from the land.'"
The stated mission of the EES Field Program is "To inspire stewardship of the Earth through first-hand experience with the power, and fragility, of Earth's interconnected systems."
Upon completion of the EES Field Program, students will achieve 18 credit hours from courses such as; Field Study of the Earth System, Biogeochemistry of the Hawaiian Islands, Field Study of Marine Ecosystems, Internship Experience, and an Introduction to Hawaiian History and Culture, which included Saturday's slack key guitar lesson.
The Program stresses the importance of respecting the Hawaiian ancestral lands and to give something back to the community by engaging in a variety of service learning (in class) projects and local volunteer opportunities. Students are also encouraged to explore ways in which they can contribute to the well-being of their adopted community.
Before Saturday's lesson began, the students were able to briefly meet and chat with another famous Big Island slack key guitar master, Sonny Lim, a 2007 Grammy Award winner for his work on the album, "Slack Key Guitar Volume 2".
Participating in Saturday's guitar lessons were a diverse group of five Cornell University students; Hannah Kubica, a junior from Little Falls, New York, Keisuke Irie, a senior from Bergen County, New Jersey, Matt Connelly, a sophomore from Syracuse, New York, Kourtney Reynolds, a senior from San Diego, California and Tyler Huth, a sophomore from Boston, Massachusetts.

After the announcement that Robbie Reyes would be appearing in Agents of Shield I knew I had to make him. He is probably my favourite of the Ghost Riders and one I have been hoping to see on screen for a while. I used the ultron headgear for the helmet.
What appear to be Autumn leaves swirling around this squirrel are the seed sail bracts of a lime tree. This year our trees seem unusually stressed and acers and limes in particular aborted their seeds long before maturity.
A great cloud floating behind them appeared like a vast mountain, and upon it Eliza saw her own shadow and those of the eleven swans, looking gigantic in size. Altogether it formed a more beautiful picture than she had ever seen; but as the sun rose higher, and the clouds were left behind, the shadowy picture vanished away.

That’s my favorite story.
I still remember my Mum reading me the story so often, so I wanted to be called Eliza and have eleven brothers. We used to cry almost every time when reading this fairytale. It is still my favorite. It’s just now I cry for different things.

This scene appeared absolutely uninteresting to me in the summer when all the plants were covered in green leaves. But as often when most of them has fallen, much more structure and character is unveiled. Love the shots with thousands of sticks, as it remembers me to pencil strokes. And for sure, the red color complements wonderfully the white snow.

The man who appears soldering in this image is a Syrian discus champion !!! He dreamed of the Rio Olympics and had the level to go to ... Instead he ended up in a Refugee camp in Northern Greece, with no rights or freedom ... The continuous solidarity of the people who have flocked to these refugee camps have made possible some small miracles. One of them was building a gym for all ... Qusai started soldering an iron, then another, then another ... And he got it.

The sun appears briefly across the limestone of Feizor. A place with history and atmosphere. It's a wonder this shot happened at all, really. Firstly, getting up for sunrise is still an effort..... The wind was fierce and it had, moments before,blown my camera over,smashed the lens hood and unknown to me, had knocked the camera onto manual focus. So it was luck that this appears to be in focus. A difficult exposure, and the tree was blowing so wildly that it appears to be moving, even in a still! Thanks for the new location Steve!
This ice appearers an old wood, in the wood need to be a special fungi that makes lots of small fissures by living from the wood . If temperatures fall slightly under 0° and humidity is high water out of the fissures makes crystals on the surface, the fungi produces gas by digesting the wood, that more water comes out the fissures and push the existing crystals forward and forward and make this fine structure

This pair of Canadian Geese appeared to be cautiously scouting for nesting sites by an old unused dock on the lake. What made this unusual was that while I have often seen them in the marsh areas off the lake, I have never seen this species on the main lake at all. Trailblazers, perhaps, tho I doubt it as the marshes provide much more protection from the eagles who regularly scout the lake.
It would appear that the New Life Church had a busy congregation, this morning ... lots of cars parked along the entrance and street!
