♂️ Piranga flava, now Piranga lutea
(Tooth-billed Tanager / Cardenal Montañero)
Hepatic Tanager is the most widely distributed Piranga tanager, ranging from the southwest United States south to northern Argentina. Its English name is based on the liver-red color of the adult male from the northern part of the species' range; however, its scientific name, flava, meaning "yellow," derives from the original description, which is based on a female from Paraguay. These names reflect both a characteristic of the genus Piranga, marked sexual dichromatism, and the broad range of coloration, habitat, and behavior encompassed within the Hepatic Tanager as currently recognized.
Even though the Hepatic Tanager is currently considered one species, much evidence, including a recent study of molecular genetics, indicates that up to 3 species could be recognized, corresponding to the 3 groups of subspecies combined long ago. These groups and their respective species names are the Hepatic Tanager (P. hepatica) of montane pine-oak forests from the southwestern United States to Nicaragua, the Tooth-billed Tanager (P. lutea) of forest edges in foothills and mountains from Costa Rica to northern and western South America, and the Red Tanager (P. flava) of open woodlands of eastern and southeastern South America.

The Katsura is a deciduous tree with red or green flowers on different trees. These tiny red flowers indicate a male tree. My husband chose this for planting.
Loving trees. Loving this rainy day.
In January 2022 I asked for help, and a Flickr support hero removed my accounts from the Explore algorithm. I feel more relaxed and sincere.
This, too, is from my favorite rose garden, Point Defiance Park, located in Tacoma, Washington. Such a beautiful rose garden! Actually, the whole park is worth seeing, if you never have! There's a zoo and aquarium; a five-mile drive that overlooks Puget Sound and Tacoma's Narrows Bridge; a beach and boating area; not only the rose garden, but many other flowers as well including the rhododendron garden when it's in bloom; the duck pond as well as many other wildlife including eagles, deer, and raccoons; and lastly, miles of trails to choose from for your hiking pleasure! So you see, this park includes it all--definitely something worth adding to your bucket list! Hope you all enjoy!

The very impressive Iron Age broch (stone tower) on the island of Mousa, Shetland. It’s the largest and best preserved in the world, pretty much. It gets mentioned several times in the Viking sagas, though it dates from much earlier.
For an account of my trip to the Shetland Islands:

Olá amigos, com o dólar na estratosfera aqui no Brasil, e depois de 6 anos, não consegui renovar minha PRO. E eles vão apagar minhas fotos!! Uma vergonha!
Hi friends, with the dollar in the stratosphere here in Brazil, and after 6 years, I haven't been able to renew my PRO. And they're going to delete my photos!! What a shame!
...Diese Worte drangen aus dem Mund eines weiteren Fotografen (leider immer noch kein Flickr-Account) in einer scheinbar aussichtslosen Zwickmühle. Doch wie ist es dazu gekommen? Rollen wir alles von hinten auf: Donnerstagabend, ich hatte viele Ideen den letzten Sommertag des Jahres 2024 sinnvoll zu verwenden. Es konkretisierte sich auf das Altmühltal - mal wieder. Im Tal mit dem stillsten Fluss Bayerns waren drei 111er Umläufe hintereinander angekündigt. Doch am Frühen nächsten Morgen entschied ich mich doch, recht kurzfristig dagegen. Grund für diese, im Nachhinein dumme Entscheidung waren die 111er. Zwei von ihnen hatte ich schon perfekt, eine andere sprach mich von dem Lackzustand absolut nicht an.
Am Vortag ist die neue Bayernbahn 139 314 mit einem Kesselzug in die Fächerstadt. Ich spekulierte auf eine Rückleistung. Also setzte ich mich um 5:30 an meinem Rechner, normalerweise schalte ich ihn um diese Uhrzeit erst aus. Da ich wusste, dass die Rückleistung immer übers Filstal verkehrte, plante ich mir irgendwas zusammen. Zugegeben, um diese respektlose Uhrzeit habe ich nicht viel nachgedacht, so übersah ich einen wichtigen Faktor. Das Filstal war zwischen Göppingen und Geislingen voll gesperrt. Ohne von meinem Schicksal zu wissen, legte ich mich nochmals ins Bett. Nach einer Stunde bitter benötigtem Schlaf schaute ich in die lokale Sichtungsgruppe. Und tatsächlich, mein Poker ist aufgegangen! Schnell Laufweg, Zugnummer und Zeiten rausgefunden, und 'ab dafür'. Oder auch nicht. Erst jetzt bemerkte ich, dass der Zug ja gar nicht übers Filstal rollt. Die Murrbahn war als Ausweich-Strecke gewählt worden. Hier verkehrte der Zug in sehr bescheidenem Licht. Da der Zug nach dem Kopf machen im Stuttgarter Hafen auch mit guten - 25 unterwegs war, stand nur in Fichtenberg das Licht. Schnell dorthin aufgebrochen, der Zug war schließlich nur gute 15min hinter unserem MÄÄX 90. Mitleerweile war auch Fotograf Sven eingetroffen. Gemeinsam zog es uns in den Garten der Neuapostolischen Kirche Fichtenberg. Dort angekommen, fanden wir uns leider im Urwald von Fichtenberg wieder. Also improvisieren, auf Google Maps zeigte sich noch ein anderer weg nah an der Strecke. Hingerannt, nur um zu bemerken, dass hier der Urwald auch schon im sehr fortgeschrittenen Stadium war. Kurze Zeit später Rollte der neue Stern am Himmel von der Bayernbahn an uns vorbei. Ein Fail wie aus dem Bilderbuch.
Geknickt ging es für uns wieder zum Bahnhof, wir waren die einzigen zwei Fahrgäste die reisen wollten. Der RE 90 rauschte ohne halt vorbei, die Stimmung war am Tiefpunkt. Andere Fotografen zeigten mir Stolz ihre Bilder von der nur knapp 21km weiter südlich gelegenen Remsbahn, wo zur selben Zeit der CBB Ersatzzug nach Nürnberg eierte. Langsam schlich der MEX Nach Gaildorf ein, wir stiegen ein, im Geilsten Dorf der Welt aber nicht aus, sondern erfreuten uns am Stimmungslockerer Instagram Reels.
Dann wurde es auf einmal hektisch. Zwei Züge die ich noch nicht erwähnt hatte, sind im Zulauf. Einmal eine DB Bahnbau 233 genannt „Tiger“ und einmal eine 111 der Smartrail. Wir beide wussten nicht welche Smartrail 111 auf der Leistung war. Deswegen dachten wir beide erst an die 233, da diese merh als selten ist. Wir schreiben ungefähr 12:30, als wir bemerkten, dass auf der Smartrail Leistung 111 017 vorgespannt war. Und damit war die Denkarbeit freigegeben. Sie endete erst gegen 15:20. In meiner ganzen zeit als Fotograf stand ich noch nie vor so einer Schwierigen Entscheidung. „Was können wir machen, können wir ein Auto organisieren, hoffentlich bekommt die 233 noch Plus, wo würdest du die 233 machen, ja aber die 017 hat halt auch was“.
Das alles waren Gedanken, die uns durch den Kopf zischten. Jeden angerufen den ich kannte, der noch mehr Information liefen konnte. Der Traum, beide Züge mit Sonne vor den Sucher zu bekommen schien auf einmal wieder möglich, als ich beide FPLOS im Bahnhofs Gewimmel von Stuttgart verglich. Bauz 34061 15:39 Bietigheim, DGS 77577 17:02 Schorndorf. Demnach ging es nach Asperg zwischen Apfelbäume, um uns das Erste mal auf die Lauer zu legen. Doch, die Stimmung bliebt angespannt. Fast Minütlich telefonierte ich mit Malek-88, der den Zug auf Höhe Helmsheim fotografieren wollte, zu gleichen Zeit checkte Sven jeden möglichen Sichtungskorridor, da der „Russe“ verdächtig im System verschwunden war. Im Gegensatz zum Ostprodukt, baute das Westprodukt immer mehr Verspätung ab. „Oida, das kann doch echt nicht sein, an machen Tagen rollt nichts, und heute rollt alles auf einmal“. Worte von Sven, denen nichts hinzuzufügen ist. Durch all die Argumentationen wer jetzt welchen Zug fotografiert knatterte auf einmal der Rote Flitzer bestehend aus Fünf Schienenbussen in den Rücken. Kurz darauf folgte ein Anruf von Malek, gefolgt von einem Foto auf Whatsapp. Der Zug war Helmsheim durch. Nun waren wir im Besitz von Fotos beider Züge. Ab jetzt begannen wir alles zu analysieren was zu analysieren war, „017 Vordere Schere oben“, „Der Tiger ist frisch gewaschen“… nach weiteren guten 15 Minuten legte sich dann Sven mit den Worten „Es muss auch Opfer geben, ich mach den dreckes Russen“ auf die 233 fest. Nun war ich unter Zugzwang entschied mich dann aber für die 111. Demnach ging es dann für mich recht zügig zum Bahnhof, um Kurs auf die KBS 786 zu nehmen.
Dort bin ich dann auch gute 50 Minuten später angekommen, und nach kurzen Recheneinheiten in der S-Bahn kam ich zum Entschluss, dass die gute 017 im Block hinter dem MEX, allerdings vor der S-bahn sein müsste. Dadurch konnte ich ohne hetzte zur Stelle laufen, wo sich schon weitere Fotografen positioniert hatten. Das Wetter war prächtig, beste Voraussetzungen. Und so schoss man, um kurz vor 17:00 Uhr das erste brauchbare Bild des Tages, obwohl man schon seit 7.30 auf den Beinen war. Die Zufriedenheit bei allen anwesenden Fotografen war sichtlich erkennbar, vor allem wegen der ZZA.
Nach der Durchfahrt ging es wieder rasch zum Bahnsteig, denn es gab doch noch eine Möglichkeit den Tiger zu Fotografieren. In die Nächste S2 (+15) gesprungen und durch die Röhre bis Rohr. In Rohr traf man auch wieder Sven an, der mir erst einmal eine Packung Brownies übergab, ehe die Neugier nach den Fotos alles andere in den Schatten stelle.
Rohr – mein Heimatbahnhof – Hier eine Ludmilla? Surreal. Die Abfahrtmeldung aus Böblingen war Erleichterung und Unheil zugleich, von zweiteres wussten wir zu dem Zeitpunkt nur nichts. „Üst Berghau durch“ Fünf Minuten später. Doch, es kommt wie es kommen musste. Da Rohr einen Mittelbahnsteig besitzt, werden die Züge auf der Fernbahn von anhaltenden S-Bahnen verdeckt. 430 257 als Führendes Tfz bremste punktgenau auf die H-Tafel. Dahinter dieselte der Großdiesel dem Ziel Vaihingen entgegen. So wurde der Tag der mit einem Fail startete, mit einem Fail abgerundet.
Um den frischen Account auch mit älteren Bildern zu füllen, heute mal wieder ein Blick ins Archiv. Passend zur Jahreszeit bieten sich Fotos des bedeutenden Hochwassers um den Jahreswechsel 2023 / 2024 an. Dadurch entstanden interessante neue Motive, wie z.B. auf diesem sonst eher langweiligen Feld zwischen Kirchweyhe und Dreye.
Daher entschied ich mich an einem freien Vormittag möglichst dicke Winterkleidung zusammenzusuchen und bei -6°C einige Zeit an der neu entdeckten Stelle zu frieren. Schlussendlich hatte ich sogar noch Glück mit den Zügen. Zwar waren Güterzüge wie immer auf der Rollbahn ein seltenes Gut, dafür wurde überraschend die Überführung eines 401-Bordrestaurants vorgemeldet. Somit hatte sich das Warten in der Kälte definitiv gelohnt!

The main biblical accounts of Hezekiah's reign are found in 2 Kings, Isaiah, and 2 Chronicles. Proverbs 25:1 commences a collection of Solomon's proverbs which were "copied by the officials of King Hezekiah of Judah". His reign is also referred to in the books of the prophets Jeremiah, Hosea, Micah, and Isaiah. The books of Hosea and Micah record that their prophecies were made during Hezekiah's reign. The book of Isaiah records when Hezekiah sought Isaiah's help when Judah was under siege by Sennacherib of the Neo-Assyrian Empire.

Основні біблійні розповіді про правління Єзекії містяться в 2 Царів, Ісаї та 2 Хронік. Приповісті 25:1 розпочинають збірку приповістей Соломона, які були «переписані чиновниками Єзекії, царя Юди». Його правління також згадується в книгах пророків Єремії, Осії, Михея та Ісаї. У книгах Осії та Михея сказано, що їхні пророцтва були зроблені під час правління Єзекії. У книзі Ісаї описано, як Єзекія звернувся за допомогою до Ісаї, коли Юдея була в облозі Сеннахеріба з Новоассирійської імперії.

Just before sunset on the Midland Highway somewhere near Jerico, Tasmania.
A long day of site visits from Devonport to Launceston. There are bushfires everywhere - I think the whole state is shrouded in smoke at the moment. The smoke made the sunset an eerie orange/ red colour.
I took my eldest son with me on this trip - he turned 13 a few days ago and now has his own Canon DSLR. He took some amazing photos from this trip. It turns out that 13 is also the magic age to get a Flickr account, so we're going to set that up and you'll be able to see his wonderful work.

Waterfront, Cape Town, South Africa. I spent ages unsuccessfully trying to capture one of the sea lions that occasionally stuck their heads out of the water. You can just about see one directly beneath the orange buoys.

6 year old Thoroughbred broodmare. Take a look at her pedigree and you'll see that her female line traces back to the most influential broodmare of the 20th century, La Troienne:
www.pedigreequery.com/brokerage+account
From Wikipedia...
"She produced fourteen foals and 12 of them raced. 10 of those 12 were winners. The first of these was the Champion Black Helen, by Black Toney, born in 1932. Black Helen won the American Derby, the Florida Derby, the Maryland Handicap, and the Coaching Club American Oaks. The second was born in 1934, Biologist, by Bubbling Over who won the 1926 Kentucky Derby. The third was Baby League, born in 1935, again by Bubbling Over, who became the dam of four stakes winners: the great Hall of Fame filly Busher, as well as Mr. Busher, Striking, and Harmonizing. Her fourth winning foal was Big Hurry, another Black Toney filly, born in 1936, and the dam of five stakes winners: Be Fearless, Bridal Flower, The Admiral, Great Captain, and Searching. La Troienne also brought forth the great Hall of Fame colt Bimelech, born in 1937. By Black Toney, Bimlech won the Belmont Stakes, the Preakness Stakes, and placed in the 1940 Kentucky Derby. Big Event came next in 1938, a Blue Larkspur filly and dam of stakes winner Hall of Fame. In 1939, she dropped Businesslike who was the dam of two stakes winners: Busanda (who was the dam of Buckpasser) and Auditing. Then came Besieged by Balladier in 1940, Broke Even in 1941, a colt by Blue Larkspur, Back Yard in 1942, a gelding by Balladier, and in 1944 Bee Ann Mac by Blue Larkspur. Belle Histoire came along in 1945, once more by Blue Larkspur. Belle Histoire was the dam of stakes winner Royal Record. La Troienne's last two foals were Belle of Troy in 1947, again by Blue Larkspur, and the gelding Trojan War in 1948 by Shut Out.
Les Brinsfield, a pedigree expert, wrote: "Anyone who wants can take any daughter of La Troienne (or all of them) and trace them through pedigrees to today's stars. It will be a rare week when there is no stakes winner linebred to La Troienne.""

Once again, these are purple coneflowers taken from our own personal garden. I just love coneflowers! They're so happy, so pretty! My husband planted for two reasons: (1) just because I love coneflowers, and (2) because we wanted to bring more butterflies around! We've gotten some butterflies, so I guess we succeeded! Hope you all enjoy!

Model Ana Beatriz Barros backstage before the 2008 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida on November 15, 2008 .
Progress since the last shot. As you can see, I have cut an aperture for the front entrance and built up a rear end to the lower deck using plastic card. This comprises a strip of plastic card folded to produce the 2 rear corners then glued to a rectangular piece at the lower edges to create an open box, then roughly cut to the shape of the remaining metalwork and bolted to what is left of the rear platform through the existing rivet hole. Everything looks like a dog's hind leg because I have yet to do the final cutting and filing to produce accurate joints, but I thought I would see if it could be assembled just to see what it looks like. I need to cut window apertures in the plastic card as well, then once the lower deck is all Araldited together I have to remove the remaining window pillars. I had not taken into account the fact that I would need to remove all the lower deck pillars, thus removing all support from the narrow panel immediately above them, hence the need for some adhesive work before removal. The upper deck has already had its window pillars removed and will require joining together in the middle before I start work on replacing the pillars to the correct spacing.
Even in this crude state I can see a vestigial "silver" Regent coming to life. So far I'm quite pleased with the job, but already I can see other, possibly better, ways of getting the result.

From Wikipedia:
Elsie Stephen Meighen - born January 22, 1872, Perth, Ontario - and Robert Wilson Reford - born in 1867, Montreal - got married on June 12, 1894.
Elsie Reford was a pioneer of Canadian horticulture, creating one of the largest private gardens in Canada on her estate, Estevan Lodge in eastern Québec. Located in Grand-Métis on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River, her gardens have been open to the public since 1962 and operate under the name Les Jardins de Métis and Reford Gardens.
Born January 22, 1872 at Perth, Ontario, Elsie Reford was the eldest of three children born to Robert Meighen and Elsie Stephen. Coming from modest backgrounds themselves, Elsie’s parents ensured that their children received a good education. After being educated in Montreal, she was sent to finishing school in Dresden and Paris, returning to Montreal fluent in both German and French, and ready to take her place in society.
She married Robert Wilson Reford on June 12, 1894. She gave birth to two sons, Bruce in 1895 and Eric in 1900. Robert and Elsie Reford were, by many accounts, an ideal couple. In 1902, they built a house on Drummond Street in Montreal. They both loved the outdoors and they spend several weeks a year in a log cabin they built at Lac Caribou, south of Rimouski. In the autumn they hunted for caribou, deer, and ducks. They returned in winter to ski and snowshoe. Elsie Reford also liked to ride. She had learned as a girl and spent many hours riding on the slopes of Mount Royal. And of course, there was salmon-fishing – a sport at which she excelled.
In her day, she was known for her civic, social, and political activism. She was engaged in philanthropic activities, particularly for the Montreal Maternity Hospital and she was also the moving force behind the creation of the Women’s Canadian Club of Montreal, the first women club in Canada. She believed it important that the women become involved in debates over the great issues of the day, « something beyond the local gossip of the hour ». Her acquaintance with Lord Grey, the Governor-General of Canada from 1904 to 1911, led to her involvement in organizing, in 1908, Québec City’s tercentennial celebrations. The event was one of many to which she devoted herself in building bridges with French-Canadian community.
During the First World War, she joined her two sons in England and did volunteer work at the War Office, translating documents from German into English. After the war, she was active in the Victorian Order of Nurses, the Montreal Council of Social Agencies, and the National Association of Conservative Women.
In 1925 at the age of 53 years, Elsie Reford was operated for appendicitis and during her convalescence, her doctor counselled against fishing, fearing that she did not have the strength to return to the river.”Why not take up gardening?” he said, thinking this a more suitable pastime for a convalescent woman of a certain age. That is why she began laying out the gardens and supervising their construction. The gardens would take ten years to build, and would extend over more than twenty acres.
Elsie Reford had to overcome many difficulties in bringing her garden to life. First among them were the allergies that sometimes left her bedridden for days on end. The second obstacle was the property itself. Estevan was first and foremost a fishing lodge. The site was chosen because of its proximity to a salmon river and its dramatic views – not for the quality of the soil.
To counter-act nature’s deficiencies, she created soil for each of the plants she had selected, bringing peat and sand from nearby farms. This exchange was fortuitous to the local farmers, suffering through the Great Depression. Then, as now, the gardens provided much-needed work to an area with high unemployment. Elsie Reford’s genius as a gardener was born of the knowledge she developed of the needs of plants. Over the course of her long life, she became an expert plantsman. By the end of her life, Elsie Reford was able to counsel other gardeners, writing in the journals of the Royal Horticultural Society and the North American Lily Society. Elsie Reford was not a landscape architect and had no training of any kind as a garden designer. While she collected and appreciated art, she claimed no talents as an artist.
Elsie Stephen Reford died at her Drummond Street home on November 8, 1967 in her ninety-sixth year.
In 1995, the Reford Gardens ("Jardins de Métis") in Grand-Métis were designated a National Historic Site of Canada, as being an excellent Canadian example of the English-inspired garden.(Wikipedia)

LES JARDINS DE MÉTIS
Créés par Elsie Reford de 1926 à 1958, ces jardins témoignent de façon remarquable de l’art paysager à l’anglaise. Disposés dans un cadre naturel, un ensemble de jardins exhibent fleurs vivaces, arbres et arbustes. Le jardin des pommetiers, les rocailles et l’Allée royale évoquent l’œuvre de cette dame passionnée d’horticulture. Agrémenté d’un ruisseau et de sentiers sinueux, ce site jouit d’un microclimat favorable à la croissance d’espèces uniques au Canada. Les pavots bleus et les lis, privilégiés par Mme Reford, y fleurissent toujours et contribuent , avec d’autres plantes exotiques et indigènes, à l’harmonie de ces lieux.
Created by Elsie Reford between 1926 and 1958, these gardens are an inspired example of the English art of the garden. Woven into a natural setting, a series of gardens display perennials, trees and shrubs. A crab-apple orchard, a rock garden, and the Long Walk are also the legacy of this dedicated horticulturist. A microclimate favours the growth of species found nowhere else in Canada, while the stream and winding paths add to the charm. Elsie Reford’s beloved blue poppies and lilies still bloom and contribute, with other exotic and indigenous plants, to the harmony of the site.

This was a tough assignment. When I was a child our Uncle lived with us and he would give me and my siblings a dime every day. I would save it up and at the end of the week we could bring money to school with a passbook and they would deposit our money into a bank account. They would enter the amount in the passbook. Perhaps this is why I am pretty good at saving!
Flickr family!! I locked myself out of my account and just got back in...hello! It's April. I've never gone so long in my entire photo career without posting here. It's been sad.
Here's a catch-up of my year so far.
January I went to India for a couple of weeks to teach self-expression workshops to survivors of human trafficking. It was a great trip where I got to go to a huge wedding (where I stayed awake for 38 hours celebrating!) and even got to teach a group of 10-11 year old gals.
In February I bunkered in at home mostly and organized a 10-city tour! I'm coming to London, Seattle, Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago, NYC, Toronto, Vancouver and Melbourne.
In addition to those cities, I have other jobs to do abroad, so I'm also visiting Florence, Rome, Coventry, Wellington, and Queenstown!
Did I mention this is all in 6 weeks?
I've also been creating a brand new exhibition that debuts in NYC on June 13. I'm sending my images in to get proofed today! It has taken a lot of energy out of me to do all of this.
I also just got back from 10 days in Greece where we celebrated the graduation of The Light Space students. TLS is a photography school that I co-founded that teaches photograph as a life skill to underprivileged communities. Our program in Greece aids unaccompanied minor refugees.
I'll write more later, but for now, here is the first image I took this year when it snowed on New Year's Day. It feels like a lifetime ago, but also just like a blink away.
Xoxo, how are you??
unfortunately, something has happened to my facebook account (which I was using to log into my flickr account) so now I cannot access my flickr. I'm hoping that facebook staff will reactivate my account very soon - but that's just not very likely. they are known for taking their sweet time with these kinds of things... so if you don't see me around, you'll know why I've disappeared... and hopefully I'll be back soon.
Hey everyone,
I'm changing accounts due to a weird technicality with Yahoo. I will not be using this one anymore (obviously) so if you'd like to keep up with my work you can find me here.
Thanks!
