The change from Daylight Saving Time back to Standard Time has been a source of consternation for the cats as I try to shift their feeding times an hour later. It is expressed with counter stalking and dramatic licking of the scoop that I use to dole out portions of dry food--as if to say "I am on the brink of starvation".
I can not get them to understand the concept. :D

Guru is almost 8 months old, muscular and solid, but you can see the kitten in him still, peering into that dish towel.
Hooded vultures taken in Masai Mara, Kenya. International Vulture Awareness Day, 3rd September 2022.
It is suspected that this species is currently undergoing an extremely rapid population reduction owing to indiscriminate poisoning, trade for traditional medicine, hunting for food, persecution and electrocution, as well as habitat loss and degradation.
Wildlife poachers sometimes poison vultures because their presence in the skies near animal corpses can alert rangers to their illegal activities.
Because many species of vultures are social, vultures are highly affected by poisoning.
Over a hundred birds can be killed at just one poisoned carcass.
Vultures are the ultimate recyclers. They can strip a carcass in just a few hours.
They keep our environment clean and disease-free.
Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves..it is always appreciated..
Peaceful Sunday
After catching the UP MNPRVX at Doyle, my friend and I made our way out to Sand Pass, Nevada, to begin our chase of the MGRRV.
Earlier in the day, we had caught the INPOA descending into the foothills around James, California, alongside a BNSF HBARPAS/HFRSPAS. We'd catch the BNSF a handful of miles east of Belden, followed up by a shot at Keddie. We were pretty hungry and decided to get some breakfast after our shot at Keddie.
Currently, the Bug Fire is running rampant, burning hundreds of thousands of acres just east of Scotts/Reno Junction. Many have been evacuated, and firefighters are working hard to contain the fire. My friend has posted his shot of this train on his page, and the fire is clearly visible. Go check it out: flic.kr/p/2suCgbL
As for the MGRRV, we'd grab our first shot at Sand Pass (seen here), followed by Omira, Reno Junction, and Portola. Of the 4-5 trains on the lineup for Portola (that we would've seen in light), we photographed only 2. It sucks, but that's what happens when you shoot the former WP!
Not the name of the Falls, just the position. Leaving both the top and the bottom of the falls seems to have focused attention on the mid ground. This area is typically part of the narrative and not the story itself. So, I placed it front and center, making it the story.
After all, this is the area of activity. While the top will feed the falls, and the bottom will exit the falls, the mid area is a concentration of activity.

A fantastic day spent in Paul Fowlie's Red Squirrel Hides in the Yorkshire dales. These cheeky little characters certainly seemed to be enjoying themselves also.
On January 22, solar reports warned of high solar activity with the presence of two important active regions associated with class M solar flares (www.spaceweather.com/glossary/flareclasses.html). In the image on the left you can see the configuration of the active regions on the Sun's disk. Active region 3559 (detail on the right, left in the complete image of the Sun), had rapid growth and crossed the solar disk in the course of the week. On January 23, this active region and 3561 (on the right in the image of the solar disk separated by around 500,000 km), erupted simultaneously, generating a "sympathetic solar flare", produced by a physical connection between both active regions, which caused shortwave radio blackouts in Australia and Indonesia (www.spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=23&mo...). The large active region 3559 had a "beta-gamma" class magnetic field and more than thirty sunspots, while 3561 evolved over the course of the week reaching about 100,000 km wide and twenty dark cores.
Details associated with the day of capture: www.spaceweatherlive.com/es/archivo/2024/01/22/dayobs.html
The image of the entire disk on the left was taken with a "Meade" 80/400 refractor telescope and the detail on the right, with an "Explore Scientific" 127, f/15 Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope. In both cases a "Meade" 575 white light filter was used (remember not to expose your eyes to the Sun or photographic equipment without the appropriate filters), a Player One Neptune-M camera and a Player One IR685 filter.

Number 1 in my allocated Wooded Buildings theme for this week. The Acorn activity house in the Meridian Park, Peacehave, East Sussex, UK taken in 2015.
What was supposed to be a relaxing late summer dive in one of the cleanest lakes in Feldberg Lake District Nature Park was turned upside down by strong winds, rain, cool 10 to 15 °C water temps and virtually zero visibility. Oh well. Those who want it cozy go to the Red Sea or Asia. For us a dark, cold world waited, in which we even could not see our own hand in front of the mask. Dimly, some diving obstacles emerged from the darkness in front of us, which now seemed all the more mysterious. The vegetation was getting ready for winter. Nevertheless, we stumbled upon large motionless pikes, perches and whole schools of rudds.

Went to Formby Point today which has been famous as a red squirrel reserve for many years. Sadly the red squirrel population is being decimated by squirrel pox and although there were signs of squirrel activity such as eaten pine cones on the forest floor I did not see a single red squirrel. Very sad.
