Trinity Alert, currently moored on the waterfront, Ipswich Suffolk (UK). Trinity House’s Rapid Intervention Vessel (RIV), ALERT, delivered in 2006, has been designed with buoy handling, wreck marking, towing and multibeam and side scan hydrographic surveying capability.
The humming birds are at the feeders almost continually right now fattening up for the trip down south to start soon. The sun is getting lower in the sky and the days all ready noticeably shorter!
We were very lucky this week in that twice funnel clouds passed right over our house (and others narrowly missed us to both north and south) but did not touch down. Others in Wisconsin were not so lucky and I am very sorry for what they have gone through. At last count, the four National Weather Service offices in Wisconsin issued 90 tornado warnings this week with (I think) 25 confirmed tornadoes. The number may change as crews survey the damage. Add in more urban, river and stream flood warnings than I can count and I think I can speak for every Wisconsin resident when I say we need a break. On Saturday I spent a short time at the UW Arboretum and found magnolias that were battered and beaten by the large hail and high winds but also some that were just coming out. Once I can go through the pictures I will post some.

A female Northern Flicker. She is a regular at our suet feeder during the winter but has been away over the summer. It's nice to see her back today!
The White-tailed Deer, Odocoileus virginianus, has been extremely important in Ohio's history. The state tree, the Ohio Buckeye, is named because its nut resembles a deer—or buck's—eye. Buckeye is based on the Indian word "hetuck," meaning "eye of the buck." White-tailed Deer have been in Ohio since the end of the last Ice Age. The deer played a very important role in the lives of practically all of Ohio's prehistoric Indian cultures. Ohio's native people used the deer's meat for food, the hide for clothing, and the bones and antlers for tools. Indians also used the hides, antlers, and bones for ceremonial purposes. There are tons of deer in our area and although there are those who do not like hunting, harvesting of deer through hunting is necessary to control the over-population and allow for enough area for these animals to rome.
What I have depicted here are 3 white-tails that frequent the field behind my house. I live on the edge of a residential area and behind our house is a grassy field then the alfalfa and the wooded area. It is early morning and the deer have come out to eat from the alfalfa. As in most herds the does are the ones that enter the open field first to make sure there is nothing to fear. However the ears up mean she has been alerted to something near-by.
So, my moly is on its way to Anne in Spain. Whew.
This is my first entry in my moleskine for moleskinex32.blogspot.com/. This is part of the international moleskine exchange.

A local business has been having troubles with their sewage lines
backing up. This is typically due to tampons getting flushed down the
toilet and clogging the grinder pump. I was asked to build a text
messaging system on top of their current alarm which consists of
lights and horns. No trouble I thought. I was at least partially
correct. Putting together the electronics and writing the python code
were easy enough. What has turned out to be more time consuming than
expected was working out the cases, wiring, and mounting. Next time
I'm going to stay out of the installation business. My solution was to
use two Xbee modules. The remote module is stealing power from the
existing alarms flashing light and it transmits data to a desktop
computer when the alarm is triggered. The desktop has another Xbee
receiver module and a python script which generates a text message and
alerts the proprietor. Simple enough. Still has a few kinks around
SMTP authentication and resetting the python script after a alarm
incident, but it is pretty much done. Source, schematic, and flow
diagram included.

More PT today, my arm is tired but making small gains in elbow flexion and extension. Still have about 4cm's of swelling to go down.
I realise with the wonders of the World Wide Web and flickr we are able to share our images across countries and continents and thought it might be worth sharing a little bit of information on the red squirrels that I have spent a fair bit of time with in recent weeks.
The red squirrel is native to Britain, but its future is increasingly uncertain as the introduced American grey squirrel expands its range across the mainland. There are estimated to be only 140,000 red squirrels left in Britain, with over 2.5 million greys. Sadly endangered throughout the UK as vast tracts of land become the domain of their dominant, non-native grey cousins, red squirrels are relatively easy to spot in Scotland, which is home to three quarters of the British population. The bushy tail and tufted ears combine to make the red squirrel one of the country's most endearing mammals.
As the end of winter approaches the red squirrel will lose the impressive tufted ears and much of their winter coat so I thought this is a good time to capture some of their behaviour while they still look in prime condition. The red squirrel is extremely agile and prefers to travel from tree to tree rather than on the ground. They always seem to be on the move, whether it be chasing on another or searching for food and they manage to perform various acrobatics along the way and this is what I have tried to capture in this series of images.

At last my computer seems to be free of binary brain farts! It would appear that upgrading to Chrome has solved my browser issues and some fiddling done by my friend within the bowels of Macland has resolved other Mactwitches. Words like 'cache' and 'proxi-thingy' were banded about, much to my confusion...I'm such a dinosaur when it comes to geekology! I just use these damn things, I don't have to know the in's and out's of a car engine in order to drive the car, that's what mechanics are for! :-) Still, I must brush up on my geek, it would save time, cursing and lots of baleful glaring at the screen if I could at least resolve the basic problems that happen with my computer.
The above shot was taken last year on an excellent day out photographing a local quartet of Andalusian horses that I've come to know. Elegance and strength all wrapped up in beautiful, refined looking bodies.
Mane feature on Black. :-)
Here I've tried to highlight some of the current situation with the Corona virus awareness in Rajshahi.

Emmy might be getting on in doggy years (14) but jeeeeez she puts us all to shame with her endless energy and constant interest in what's going on around her. She is the best companion ever, such a loving, fun little character...... she will live forever lol!!! :-))))
Hope you all had a lovely weekend my flickr friends!!
Leaving the group behind, I took the path less travelled and embraced an opportunity to explore the rocky hillsides of Blomsterbukten in Greenland. I literally stumbled upon this couple of Arctic Hares. Immediately alerted to my presence, yet not familiar with human presence, they froze in anticipation. I immediately sunk to my knees and waited....and waited. With time they became more habituated to my presence and started to interact with each other once more. I sought this opportunity to frame what appears to be a stolen moment for this couple of hares.
