I had put these five photos aside when I last deleted a few more photos from my computer. Gradually, I will add the description that I had written under a different posted photo taken on the same day. Not getting out at all, so no new photos. My car was covered in snow and my arm/shoulder was too painful to remove it. Somewhat less cold weather now, but we know the snow will be returning before too long.
This Bluebird had four rings on its legs - a blue one was above the silver one on its right leg. This bird came back to the same spot for several years and was always a joy to see and photograph.
In Bluebirds, the blue colour is produced by the structure of the feather - there is no blue pigment. "Tiny air pockets in the barbs of feathers can scatter incoming light, resulting in a specific, non-iridescent color. Blue colors in feathers are almost always produced in this manner. Examples include the blue feathers of Bluebirds, Indigo Buntings, Blue Jay's and Steller's Jays."

"In the morning of 15 June 2017, I decided to join friends for a botany walk in North Weaselhead. We saw a good variety of species, including a few quite special ones, such as Striped Coralroot and Indian Breadroot. Thanks for a great walk, Barry! We also saw a tiny Ruby-throated Hummingbird.
After going for coffee with a couple of the botany people (thanks so much, Peter!), I went home for lunch and then decided to drive SW of the city, in the hope of maybe seeing a Great Gray Owl and/or a Bobolink. No luck with an owl, but, with a lot of patience, I did finally see a Bobolink. I only had very distant views, so managed to get only photos to post for my records. I did better a year ago, but it is early still.
It was so nice to bump into Bonnie and her neighbour, Russel(l), on my drive. They mentioned a road that I had never been on before and I decided to give it a try. Such a beautiful road, though I had no idea where I was the whole time. When I got home and checked on Google, I was surprised to see just where I had driven."
Aside from a few BNSF stencils and the PTC screen being added, not a whole lot since 1994 has changed since on our leader on BNSF Train H NEWKCK1 12A. One of the things that's stayed the same is the shop inventory barcode decal, which still identifies the equipment as ATSF 676.

Emporia, KS
Less than five kilometers upstream from the important clapper bridge of Fariza (a granite bridge with an array of cups that can help provide a neolithic date) and on the outer flood pane of the same seasonal river known as the "Arroyo del Pisón", can be found a second monolith with a similar array of cups aside a make-do basin.
This up stream station of cups has a set of dramatic steps carved into its gradient and was obviously a loci of some local significance.
Cutting cups into a hard rock like granite is not done for fay whimsey and takes time, reason and determination. The above station is known by the name "Santuario de la Peña del Gato" just outside of Argañín in the Spanish Sayago and the village up river from Fariza.
Taking stock of data from related posts:
1/ A clapper bridge with a station of cups on the upper surface of a massive and uniform granite foundation stone.
2/ 222km to the south, the Los Barruecos site including similar sized cups in excellent condition within a site known to be of neolithic occupation.
3/ A station of similar cups just over 4km upstream of the clapper bridge on the summit of a carved monolith, discovered around 1995 and described as 'prehistoric'. To be clear - on the flood banks of the same river.
4/ An large array of cups in the "santuaro de Valdecadiella" 15-20km away and described as 'prehistoric' (I was unable to find this station).
5/ The cups appear to have been added to the foundation stone of the bridge after the bridge was constructed allowing it to be said that it looks as if the clapper bridge of Fariza in the Sayago region of Spain can be dated into the late ages of prehistory allowing it to be said that the clapper bridge as a form of architectural solution to a landscape problem has megalithic roots and that at least one of the forms of megalithic expression continued from prehistory into the ages of history.
6/ Understanding that innovations, styles, materials and cultural idioms inducted over vast distances during the prehistoric ages, the fact that one example of clapper bridge with a coherent prehistoric attribution exists may give people in other regions and nations the confidence to look at details of remaining clapper bridges to ascertain the probabilities of date range. Most will be medieval, some may be far younger and some rare examples may be megalithic.
For the record: ideas that a historical fisherman may have cut cups into the surface of a stone for stability are fanciful: granite often has surface grip and when it doesn't, a simply basket or rug would provide grip at far less cost - with the introduction of cups probably simply removing grip and adding permanent damp.

My sister and I stood aside while this beautiful British couple came towards us on the same narrow grass path leading to the beach. Sunset was a little over an hour away, and perhaps they were thinking about dinner, or maybe about that really big wave earlier. The gentleman, seeing all of our cameras and gear said “Take my picture” and opened up his towel, spread-eagle. His arms folded back over his body before I could capture his pose, but I like what I’ve captured anyway. Then both stopped and shared a little chat with us (not unusual in this small New England town) before ceding the beach and path.
Tonight in the U.S. we have results of our Presidential election, and many rejoice in a sense of having the possibility to follow a path - - a path previously believed by some to have been closed. The sun hasn’t set yet, the path is wide open, and all who chose to take it (or even to branch out from it) are welcome.
SET 1 – Horn Lake Target, October 2019 Tour
Aside from several repaints over the years, the exterior (which we were just looking at in the last three pics, but which I managed to completely talk over, as is somehow very typical for my photo descriptions!), is totally original to the store’s opening day on March 3, 1999. Likewise, as we head inside past the vestibule, we find that the store’s interior, too, remained 100% original for a wonderful (and surprising) 23 years and 11 months.
Food Avenue Express, the in-store café, occupied the front right corner of the salesfloor for approximately 21 of those years. This is my only picture of it for now, but fret not; we will circle back and revisit it, as well as my ominous statement on its longevity, once we’re done with the rest of our tour. As you can see, Food Avenue was very fun and colorful, with its confetti-themed neon, and served as a good harbinger of what was to come throughout the remainder of the store.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
My first outing to Point Arkwright on saturday morning with Kim, Maria & Kush. Aside from the freezing cold wind it was quite enjoyable rock hopping around the headland admiring the different textures and shapes that have been carved over time.
Not much in the way of colour due to the clouds but mother nature did provide some really nice diffused light at around 7:30am which I took advantage of once I found a decent composition. We had the run out tide and as it slowly got lower it made it a heap easier to get around the rocks. A fantastic spot on the Sunshine Coast with endless amounts of shapes & textures..."I'll Be Back"
A coastal town on Queenslands Sunshine Coast, Point Arkwright was named in honour of Sir Richard Arkwright, the inventor of the modern cotton spinning factory system and machinery. It is tied in somewhere down the line with Point Cartwright, which was named after Edmund Cartwright who developed weaving and combing equipment which compliment Arkwright's inventions. A 2 min drive from Coolum Beach which boasts Mt. Coolum & according to some it's the second largest rock in the world.
A view in Lightbox is a must !

Aside from doing doll couture, I also love working with other doll artists through photography and if necessary a fab set like this 1:4 scale lake with a limestone cliff wall. Ill blog about this soon on how to do it. This is the filtered version from what's on the site, since its a product shoot, i have to be careful not to alter skin tones and colors...
The doll above is a limited edition release by Ficon dolls named Lacvert. I think she is available right now through their site.
Oh brother..he's posting another long series...😄 Sorry, but I couldn't help it! Yesterday, the bitter, freezing cold wind found this beauty and I pretty much to ourselves along the bay, as only the hardy ventured out, despite the blue skies...not much distraction for my woodpecker friend and we had a great shoot all around it's home base tree! It was making a weird sound like it was muttering about the frigid wind...and I actually think it was! Aside from a heron, it was the only bird around, as the others laid low somewhere, so it had my full attention...then, I headed back to the warm CUV to thaw out!
I went cycling yesterday to see the fall colours. It was an enjoyable experience aside from the wind. According to the markings, it appears that this bridge was built in 1919.

Australian Ringneck Parrot.
Barnardius zonarius
Psittacidae
There are several different forms of the Australian Ringneck across its range and each appears slightly different, but they all have one feature in common — a yellow collar that stretches across the bird’s hind neck Aside from appearing different from one another, birds of the different populations also sound different, with pronounced regional variation. For example, the subspecies in Western Australia is often referred to as the ‘Twenty-eight Parrot’ because its contact call is usually rendered as twenty-eight, with the call (and the name) is unknown in other parts of Australia.
The Australian Ringneck is a large parrot, differing in size and plumage in different regions. There are four subspecies, in two main groups. All are mostly green, with an obvious yellow band on the hind-neck. Members of the Mallee group have a mainly green head and neck. The Mallee Ringneck, subspecies barnardi, has a more varied green and blue body, with more yellow underneath and a red frontal band. The Cloncurry subspecies macgillivrayi has much more yellow and pale turquoise around the face. The Port Lincoln group all have dark hoods and are mainly green. The Twenty Eight Parrot, subspecies semitorquatus, has a red frontal band and is all green underneath. The Port Lincoln Parrot, subspecies zonarius, is green and yellow underneath. All subspecies hybridise widely. They are quiet when feeding, but when disturbed fly off with loud alarm calls. Their flight is swift and undulating. This species is also known as the Mallee, Port Lincoln, Banded or Cloncurry Ringneck, Twenty Eight Parrot or Buln Buln.
Aside from the trails in Lofoten being exceedingly damp, they tended to lack grading. If you wanted to go up – straight up it was. The one trail that didn't ooze water with each step you took was the one to the top of Reinebringen, the peak that looked down on the town of Reine. Instead of a damp trail, we found this one to be dry and very crumbly. The high traffic to this popular view also probably contributed to the deteriorating conditions. Minus a short detour that led us to the trail disappearing into nothingness, we made it to the top without incident. But on the way down, we had made it about halfway when, from above us, we heard, “ROCK!” And then we could hear it tumbling in our direction, but couldn't see where it was. Moments later we saw the large football sized boulder. It passed a foot or so from Megan's head. I shouted some choice words up at the people who seemed to be oblivious to the fact they'd almost just took my wife's head off. Next time she'll be sure to duck instead of freezing.
Note: The end of the fjord on the upper left is where the trail begins for Horseid. Just up and over the saddle and you're there (kinda).

Aside from showing how dusty our coffee table is, this is me relaxing with a glass of Sam Adam's Utopia a very unique beer on a rainy day.
Aside from steel, Pittsburgh has led in manufacturing of aluminum, glass, shipbuilding, petroleum, foods, sports, transportation, computing, autos, and electronics. For part of the 20th century, Pittsburgh was behind only New York and Chicago in corporate headquarters employment; it had the most U.S. stockholders per capita. America's 1980s deindustrialization laid off area blue-collar workers and thousands of downtown white-collar workers when the longtime Pittsburgh-based world headquarters moved out. This heritage left the area with renowned museums, medical centers, parks, research centers, libraries, a diverse cultural district and the most bars per capita in the U.S

This is a so called 'undantagsstuga' (it would translate something like 'exempt cottage'). When a farmer felt too old to take care of his farm he could give it over to his (eldest) son - but keep a small house or cottage close by and live there (the cottage was exempt from the inheritance as long as the parents were alive).
This was of course a solution for people with some money, most old people in pre-industrial Sweden (and well into the 20th century) just lived with their children or other relatives - and if you were so unlucky that you had no one of your kin who could take care of you the parish placed you somewhere.
This cottage is at Fröreda Storegård, a farm built at the end of the 17th century after the old farm had been destroyed by fire.
Aside from photography, baking and cooking is my passion...and here is one of my creation! ( I was inspired by some of my flickr friends)...
“The smell of good baking, like the sound of lightly flowing water, is indescribable in its evocation of innocence and delight.”
Aside from my Costume Jewelry and Accessory as part of my day job (yes thats my real work) I also do couture finishing for designers, sort of a collaboration, with me doing the dirty job of trying to materialize their vision for a particular couture creation. That explains why sometimes i just disappear from flickr because of my work.
Kisskiss!

Aside from ending my self imposed 2 weeks off from shooting yesterday was the first day that I'd spent an hour or two lying or sitting on the ground in a busy street without anyone speaking to me or asking what I was doing. If you don't count the environmental services guy driving the truck who asked me to move before he ran over the top of me.
Aside from flic.kr/p/EoKWeN, Another 'Enterprise' working from Doncaster: 47474 'Sir Rowland Hill' hauls 6M83, the 1055 Doncaster to Bescot past Aldridge, on the freight-only 'Sutton Park' line which provides access to Bescot from the lines that approach Birmingham from the east.
47474 was the first locomotive painted in the Parcels sector livery in April 1990. The livery was obsolete within 18 months: the Rail Express Systems livery was introduced in the summer of 1991 and no further locomotives were painted in Parcels livery.
The white window surrounds were not an original feature of the livery, being added during the winter of 1997.

Aside from missing my good friends, who I'd be seeing in my regular routine, this social distancing ain't so bad. After working a productive day at my home office (couch), instead of a commute home I threw on the boots and walked through town into the state park. Home to here in 40 minutes. This is past College Cove looking south.
Aside from the Brenta Canal, Padua also has several central canals and rivers that provide fantastic walking opportunities and are a great way to see the city
Aside from the bad news about Boston, today at my place it was a downpour of hail/snow mix with thunder and some lighting. Craziness since this is very rare here, especially in the spring. So I figured I'd stop holding out on the sunset photo's I took at Palouse. On to better and brighter days of tomorrow, at least we can hope. Have a great week everyone, hope you are all safe. Thanks for the views/comments/favs lately, I really appreciate it!
Image: single exposure with a Lee .9 gnd on the 70-200 - not the sharpest pic since the strong winds were not kind with having such a bulky set-up.
Short stop aside the road to catch that magical moment when finally the Pico appeared out of his cloudy clothes !

Well, I'm back home, in Huntington Beach, but don't have time to get TO the beach for a few days so I'm posting a photo I took last fall while bike riding on the trail. These old lifeguard stations have all been replaced by larger and much less charming new ones and the old ones simply sit behind beach headquarters to rust and rot.

Stand aside and make way for the Chief. The Southwest Chief that is. #3 is making track speed through Holbrook as the sun gets lower on the horizon and trains that were stopped for the passing are starting to roll again. The Q-NYCLAC seen behind the SWC on M2 is on the move again since the DS decided to keep #3 on M1 all the way to Winslow. The Chief would take a hit at Winslow due to 2 broken down trains just west of there, one in each direction, and no crossovers to weave through.

The MGA is a sports car that was produced by MG from 1955 until 1962.
All-British Field Meet,
VanDusen Botanical Garden,
Vancouver British Columbia, Canada.,
A high-performance Twin-Cam model was added for 1958. It used a high-compression (9.9:1 later 8.3:1) DOHC aluminium cylinder head version of the B-Series engine producing 108 hp (81 kW; 109 PS). Due to detonation problems, a 100 bhp (75 kW; 101 PS) low-compression version was introduced later. Four-wheel disc brakes by Dunlop were fitted, along with Dunlop peg drive knock-off steel wheels similar to wheels used on racing Jaguars, unique to the Twin-Cam and "DeLuxe" MGA 1600 and 1600 MkII roadsters. These wheels and chassis upgrades were used on a small number of the "DeLuxe" models built after Twin-Cam production came to a halt. Aside from the wheels, the only outside identifier was a "Twin-Cam" logo near the vent aside the bonnet. A careful look at the rear wheel vents would also reveal another feature unique to Twin-Cam and DeLuxe: those four-wheel Dunlop disc brakes mentioned above.
2,111 (2,210 according to some) produced.
An open car was tested by The Motor magazine in 1958 and was found to have a top speed of 113 mph (182 km/h), acceleration from 0–60 mph (97 km/h) in 9.1 seconds and a fuel consumption of 27.6 miles per imperial gallon (10.2 L/100 km; 23.0 mpg‑US) was recorded. The test car cost £1,283 including taxes of £428.
Oddly, an open MGA Twin Cam (index PMO 326), road tested by The Autocar magazine in its 18 July 1958 edition only recorded a 0-60 time of 13.3secs with the standing quarter mile of 18.6secs. The mean maximum speed was 113.5 mph, with a best of 114.0 mph.
Aside from the Witch Hazel trees, Spring begins blooming much closer to the ground. Our early bloomers: Snow Drops, Crocus, Adonis, Winter Aconite and Siberian Squill all bloom just a few inches above ground where it's warmer and out of the wind. 😊
Cragside House aside, the National Trust's property near Rothbury in Northumberland, has another big crowd-puller and that's the annual display of rhododendron blooms.
As you can see in the photograph I posted of the house, some of the flowers are already in bloom, however, whether these are early-flowering varieties, or whether they just get more sun, if it's the rhododendrons you're wanting to see, next month (June) is probably a better time to pay a visit.
I went around the estate's 'Carriage Drive' on my visit at the weekend and hardly any of the rhododendrons were in flower.
There was also extensive damage to numerous trees after the visit some months back of Storm Arwen. Many of thr trees continue to be where they were brought down
The Crozier car park was the only car park open and you can walk around the lakes at Nellys Moss, but numerous paths are still closed due to damaged wreaked by the Winter storms.
Aside from a tiny levels tweak, this is straight out of camera. Really starting to like my new lights.
Oh... and gotta love wide angle on full frame.
