More snow again today, better late than never.

To ensure the safe operation of the looming shuttle, the air operated wings and blade of DSRC X900091 are cutting away, widening the big Lyman drift from the railhead. They will hustle away after clearing the end of it and head on to the next sizeable drift that needs to be vanquished.

Faster than a speeding turtle.

... so it was time for the weatherproof Olympus Tough TG6

trouble follows me

Following on from yesterday’s photo... here it is again rolled up into a heart shape with the stones looking a bit like a teddy bear!

A starling fies around 2000km to get to its summer quarters....what an achievement! Nice that he is back!

After wrestling about, these two Great Horned Owlet siblings shook and made up. ;-). And of course this activity took place 20 minutes after the sun went down.

Ác mộng..lại là ác mộng

Ngủ trưa cũng có thể bị ác mộng sao..

Mình đã chạy..và khi thức dậy tim mình vẫn còn đập liên hồi

Thanks Lyna with love :">

"Maybe some people don't come into your life to stay... but to remind you that you are still capable of feeling."

"The more you know, the more you can create. There's no end to imagination in the kitchen."

Julia Child

I believe that Julia Child was referring to the cooking process being involved in imagination. However, often I am easily distracted from the task at hand.

Being in the kitchen with sliced food or small kitchen tools, I see those items as photographic subjects. I think it's good to let one's imagination run wild...within limits, I suppose. :)

February is not only the time when I usually enjoy my skiing vacation, it is also the time when the Milky Way core becomes visible again in the early morning.

Luckily the weather was perfect for my preferred pastimes this year and I was able to greet the dark horse and colorful Scorpius from my favorite haunt on Mt. Tschuggen in Arosa, Switzerland.

Contrary to my former visits, when I shot wide angle panoramas close to the decommissioned observatory, I decided to shoot it from farther away and with a longer focal length. I like how this perspective emphasizes the size of our home galaxy.

Getting out of bed at 3 a.m. after a long day of skiing and snowshoeing 40min up to this spot took quite a bit of willpower, but seeing my beloved Milky Way rising for the first time after 5 month, was an overwhelming experience and was well worth the effort.

At daybreak it was time to hike down again and after a hearty breakfast, I was ready for another day of skiing...

“I don't reproach the spring

for starting up again.

I can't blame it

for doing what it must

year after year.

I know that my grief

will not stop the green.”

Again...

The sound of red-winged blackbirds is filling the marshes again!

When we got back from the summer, much had turned yellow from the drought. Now, after a winter of good rains, that which was not killed is green again. Bushtit, backyard Olympia.

After several years, this tree is once again occupied by a red morph screech owl.

Gilbert O'Sullivan what a great song.

Came across this tree standing by the highway that isn't traveled much. Amongst the wheat fields, rolling and hoping for spring there stands this tree.

Taking a break from my USA holiday pictures with another shot from the Open House weekend in London in September.

I had wanted to shoot the "Batman" building in More London for a while and made a stop there on my way to City Hall just around the corner. This building wasn't part of the Open House weekend but I'd love to see it from the inside.

This is a 3 shot HDR.

It happened.

A bouquet of stunning Peonies, bought in bud, it is hot, soon, they explode in frilly pink petals... except a smaller bud amongst them, that only opened slightly and then again, started to dry.

And again, the textures started to change, crinkling and winkling, the petals went dark reddish mauve, other dried just brown.

I so enjoyed the transition.

And still do, standing next to me.

Maybe a few more images?

Have a super day and as always thank you for your comments, Magda, (*_*)

Lago di Como/Italy

Cappagh blue 60028 approaches Queen Adelaide, with the delayed 6Z89 1016 King's Lynn T.C. to Chaddesden Sidings sand train - 20/05/2023.

Having seen my favourite Class 60 while on holiday in Derbyshire at the beginning of the week, I was delighted to have another opportunity to see it again on my local line the following Saturday.

Ironically, I wouldn't have been here, had Rockingham Horse Trials not been cancelled.

Local knowledge always helps & on a day where even I couldn't miss taking a sunny photo, I wanted lots of colour in the shot of this train, despite the cloudless sky. Therefore, I chose to come here & shoot the train from low down (the opposite to what is popular these days with regards to railway photography!). This would then include the abundance of cow parsley & by going for a wider view, I was also to include the buttercups in the image.

I must admit, I have been on a bit of a bad run with the railway photography over the last few weeks. A lot of recent shots on my local patch have not been the best, as I haven't been in the right place with regards to sunshine, often just missing it by a couple of minutes. However, hopefully the weather will now pick up & I can carry on taking shots like this.

...me and the blues
