Happy birthday Merrythought

2025 is Merryhtought's 95th anniversary year

For this special occasion, Merrythought released this bear

named Merrythought.

Mine arrived yesterday

Hand crafted in Merrythought, a British historical factory. The plush is mohair and the paws are made of cotton velvet

The journey was seven miles from Paignton to Kingswear.

The scenery was super, interesting and varied. :-))

Amtrak 6 is cruising into town some two hours late on a beautiful morning. It's hard to beat a snow capped mountain backdrop. Helper, UT 4/15/2023

Trees changing color right before our eyes. Fall is full of surprises with the weather and brilliant colors. Thanks for viewing my work. Be kind.

Now that I am back in San Diego, I plan on doing as much gardening as I can. Moderate temps and lots of sunshine! These are Nemesias, Lavender and Salvia. These started blooming around the first of March..have no idea how long they will last. (I don't know what the white ones are, if anybody knows. Their tag blew away).

Arriving from Xian, via Krasnoyarsk-Moscow.

Copper Basin OT-1 arrives at the dumping site at Hayden. From here, the copper ore cars will be dumped and carried uphill by conveyor to the ASARCO smelter.

The last stop on our Reading & Northern chase was here splitting the controlled signals just south of the former Lehigh Valley Coxton Yard that is the end point of the run from North Reading. This is MP 3.1 on what modern day RBMN designates as their Susquehanna Branch, the continuation of the former Conrail upper Lehigh Line acquired in 1996. They are crossing over and running parallel here to the former Lackawanna Bloomsburg branch that just to the right of and below them and that is also now operated by RBMN here in this area.

Leading the way is 5019 in its new one of a kind (for now) paint scheme. This locomotive is a rebuilt SD50-2 acquired from CSXT that was originally blt. Mar. 1984 as Seaboard System 8550.

HRT 3000 crosses a branch of the Savannah River with its single load as the crew arrives in Hartwell, Ga, to service Quality Holdings.

WSOR train L599 is arriving Ackerville, WI. My index finger felt like it was going to fall off after I shot this, due to the 2 degree temperature with a nice wind on this bridge.

The Moutaineer or "Notch Train" arrives at the North Conway station after a day long trip up through Crawford Notch. EMD GP35 216 and GP38 252 look sharp in their Maine Central Railroad inspired paint scheme.

I arrived at Steigerwald 1.5 hours ahead of my birding friend to see if I could get another hummer shot at the Red Currant bush. In the 1.5 hours I waited, I was gifted with one visit. I'll take it!

There is a knock on the door

Knock ..Knock

MOVIE PADDINGTON:

Is anyone home?

I have a grumbly tummy

ME:

I'm coming.

I walk to the outside door.

ME:

Paddington...it's you!

How glad I am that you have arrived well.

Come in quickly. I'll prepare food for you and in the meantime you can meet the other bears who live in my house.

PADDINGTON:

Thank you ma'am.

May I have 10 sandwiches with orange marmalade.

ME:

Lucky you. I just bought a big jar of marmalade.

Make yourself comfortable, then I'll prepare your food

By the way. Just call me Mummy Marian

I will, Mrs...er...Mummy Marian

Like my dear friend ,www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/ the bear family is growing.

May I introduce Paddington...Movie Paddington

We both agree: ‘There's always room for one more bear’

Paddington is a bear from the UK, beautiful hand crafted in Merrythought, a British historical factory. The plush is mohair and the paws are made of cotton velvet

اصدق دموع اشوفها دمعة فـراق

من الهدب للأ رض طاحت حزينه

قبل يتفارق بالهوى اثنين عشـاق

في ساحة التوديع قبـل السفينـه

معاد تجمعهـم مراسيـل واوراق

وكلن بـلا خلـه يكمـل سنينـه

واحد رحل وبنظرته حر الاشواق

واحد وقف تصفق يسـاره يمينـه

اللى رحل دمعه على الخد ينساق "

واللى بقى يبكي ويصفـق يدينـه

ومات النهار بليل معـاد ينطـاق

"وساد الحزن أرجاء كل المدينـه

ماضن بعد اثنين يانـاس ينطـاق

يحس في قولـي مـودع ضنينـه

اللى بعينه شفت انا دمعة فـراق

من الهدب للأ رض طاحت حزينه

Blackbirds have been arriving in our area in large numbers. Green shoots from bulbs are emerging. The temperatures feel like spring. (Morgan County, Alabama) Is this multi-colored bird a juvenile male Red-Winged Blackbird? Your input is appreciated.
