Olive-backed Oriole tucked away in a Casuarina tree in Beree Badalla Mangrove Conservation Area beside Currumbin Creek. This is the very first time I have seen one of these even though they are widely distributed. My saving grace is that they are difficult to find without hearing their call first. It will be easier next time now I recognise its musical call.
I first saw this one a couple of years ago. Many barns in this condition can endure far longer than one might expect. It would not surprise me if this is still standing 5 years hence.
Tomorrow I'm cominG back home to Dubai, I might not see you for a while because flickr is still banned in the UAE.. I'm gonna Miss You!!
A back lane in Alnwick (Northumberland, North England) serves as a bit of a time machine and lets us look into our recent past. I'd take this cobbold street over the abysmally tarmacked roads on my 'new' estate any day - they don't make 'em like they used to.
Conrail ME-2 runs lite back towards Metuchen Yard after spotting coil cars at Super Stud Building Products in Edison, NJ. CSX 6160 pulls the Metuchen caboose, which is currently in the process of being repainted.
A very late Canadian from Toronto rolls west through the Fraser Canyon while on the opposite side of the river, an Eastbound stack out of Vancouver traces the Canadian's steps back towards Toronto or Montréal.
The extreme delay in No. 1's schedule allowed us to wake up very early (0400, I believe) from our camp in Lytton to shoot the iconic train in daylight before heading north to intercept the Rocky Mountaineer in Clinton as it travelled south on the BC Rail.
Evidence proving when things don't go to plan. 56051 leads two Ghana bound Grids 56094 & 56302 (not sure which one is which) with 56049 as they pass Hatton working the 0Z55 0854 Rectory Junction - Marchwood. Unfortunately a Southampton - Masborough GB intermodal train didn't get out of the way in time. Usually these pics never see the light of day but considering 56094 & 302 are never coming back I thought I post it for the record 23/5/26.
Westbound Wisconsin Central train T041 has just descended Byron hill and is rolling past the back yard of a charming country home along Wisconsin State Highway 175 near Fond du Lac. -- December 14th, 1997. ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©
Back in September
In the Brookside pub,
Windermere.
Watching Burnley beat Leeds United 1-0 at Elland road.
There were two football matches on the TV’s (I asked if they’d put the Burnley game on)
We’d previously phoned two other pubs to ask if they were showing the Burnley game, they weren’t. One of them mentioned that the Brookside might be! Bingo… only a five minute walk from our accommodation too!
The Burnley game and the Manchester United game were being shown.
My brother in law and nephew watched the Man Utd game, my father in law kept an eye on both games, I watched the Burnley game. We were all sat at the same table!
My nephew is 29 yo. Two pubs in Windermere wouldn’t serve him because they thought he was underage!!

The kestrel was searching the dunes for a meal dropping down several times to search the ground and returning to the higher viewpoints for another look around It didn't seem to be bothered that I was there after landing very close to me on one occasion even though I had my camera and monopod.
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
In some pristine early afternoon light, southbound Q241-24 rolls under the B&O signal bridge at North Cairo behind a four banger of matching CSX EMDs. Leading the way is SD50 #8533, followed by SD40-3 rebuild #4041 and two other SD50s. I couldn't think of a better way to break my month long Flickr hiatus than with this, especially at a time where getting solid EMD lashups is exceedingly rare.
A kindergarten class heads back to school after a little trek into the woods and playtime there.

¡Ahoy! ~♡
This area of the Bear Lake Valley always seems prehistoric to me. The hills rise abruptly from the valley floor along an earthquake fault and storms seem to bypass this flat so that it is often nearly snow-free in winter and dry in summer. Even so, snow and ice accumulate on the road surfaces causing very slick driving conditions. Snow will soon be very deep in the hills and deer will migrate to this area where they can find food where browsing is easier.
While while we were visiting the Portal area of Arizona, this bird was the subject of all the buzz by the birders in the area. A pretty rare visitor north of the Mexican border, this Streak-backed Oriole was being sighted fairly regularly at one of the local feeding stations. The first day we visited...no luck. We went back the next day and after about 20 minutes he made his appearance. The shot in comments shows how this species got its name.
Neither shot thrills me in terms of quality, but as a life bird and a rarity, I had to post them.
