In the most dismal of conditions in low mist with hardly any visibility, 35018, 'British India Line', crosses Ribblehead Viaduct working the Dalesman 1Z52 Chester-Carlisle charter. Having driven all the way from South Wales to make it for the shot, I was pleased at least to be able to get this in such dreadful conditions. Best viewed large.

Misty Tree in Arundel Park

Seems I was walking in the wrong direction

I barely recognize my own reflection

Oh, scared of love but scared of life alone

Seems I've been playing on the safe side baby

Building walls around my heart to save me

Oh, but it's time for me to let it go

Yeah I'm ready to feel now

No longer am I afraid of the fall down

It must be time to move on now

Without the fear of how it might end

I guess I'm ready to love again

A violet -not scented variety unfortunately.

Hope your weekend is going well -I spent the day getting the glasshouse ready for tomato planting :-)

I photograph this tree just about every time I take my favorite hike along Lake Superior near Marquette. It's been battered pretty heavily from the winds along the shore, yet manages to hang in there Year after year.

As you know by now, I love when artists use music to tell a story, weaving the music and the lyrics into a tale filled with emotion and colours. Don McLean is one of those Artists who masterfully achieve this. Vincent is an Ode to the dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh (1853 - 1890). He struggled with mental illness all through his life and died at his own hands at the age of just 37. During his life, he barely sold any of his paintings. Which makes the fact that these days they are worth millions kind of a cruel joke. Don McLean weaved numerous paintings of VanGogh into his Lyrics, which is another nice touch

Starry, starry night

Paint your palette blue and gray

Look out on a summer's day

With eyes that know the darkness in my soul

Shadows on the hills

Sketch the trees and the daffodils

Catch the breeze and the winter chills

In colors on the snowy, linen land

Now, I understand what you tried to say to me

And how you suffered for your sanity

And how you tried to set them free

They would not listen, they did not know how

Perhaps they'll listen now

Starry, starry night

Flaming flowers that brightly blaze

Swirling clouds in violet haze

Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue

Colors changing hue

Morning fields of amber grain

Weathered faces lined in pain

Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand

Now, I understand, what you tried to say to me

How you suffered for your sanity

How you tried to set them free

They would not listen, they did not know how

Perhaps they'll listen now

For they could not love you

But still your love was true

And when no hope was left inside

On that starry, starry night

You took your life as lovers often do

But I could have told you, Vincent

This world was never meant for one

As beautiful as you

Starry, starry night

Portraits hung in empty halls

Frameless heads on nameless walls

With eyes that watch the world and can't forget

Like the strangers that you've met

The ragged men in ragged clothes

The silver thorn of bloody rose

Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

Now, I think I know what you tried to say to me

How you suffered for your sanity

How you tried to set them free

They would not listen, they're not listening still

Perhaps they never will

My spirits were lifted yesterday morning, with this sighting. I've barely been out looking for Snowy Owls and Short-eared Owls this winter and have only seen a few very distant birds. I've also missed a recent Long-eared Owl.

 

This was only the second 100% wild Barred Owl I’d ever seen. I had seen a family of them near Edmonton, when we went to see ones that had been banded. They were wild birds, but I still hoped to one day see a completely wild one (no nesting box). Yesterday’s owl was beautiful – crummy light, but I was so happy to see this owl. I still have to go through my photos, but grabbed this one for now. We very rarely see this species of owl within the city, so it was a real treat. Took a long walk before seeing it, and I'm still in agony this morning.

 

"The Barred Owl’s hooting call, “Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you-all?” is a classic sound of old forests and treed swamps. But this attractive owl, with soulful brown eyes and brown-and-white-striped plumage, can also pass completely unnoticed as it flies noiselessly through the dense canopy or snoozes on a tree limb. Originally a bird of the east, during the twentieth century it spread through the Pacific Northwest and southward into California." From AllAboutBirds.

The Tree of Life in Olympic National Park. This iconic spruce tree with its completely exposed roots has stood strong at the edge of the bluff through the years, somehow surviving gravity, coastal storms and erosion. Truly a miracle, but you can see it's been sinking slowly--there used to be enough space to stand underneath the roots, but it's now just inches from touching the ground. Apparently the last King tides pushed the driftwood logs in underneath and they're providing support to the tree. A symbol of resilience and overcoming life's challenges, it's a spiritual spot for many--on the day we were there, we met a lady with a very touching story--she had lost her husband just last year and after many months of grieving, was finally able to make the trip for healing and closure...I can definitely relate. I for one will be very sad if the tree should ever fall completely...

Pareidolia resembling a bear?

HMM!

I wasn't sure at first if porcelain is classed as pottery, but thankfully it is. This tiny dish is raw, unglazed porcelain and was thrown by hand on a wheel. It's 1¼" in diameter and it's certainly a challenge to photograph! I found the feather and tiny white flower in the garden. Without them, you'd barely be able to see the main subject. :)

 

For this week's Macro Mondays group theme, Pick Two. This would fit either delicate or curved, but I'll go with delicate. My chosen words are, therefore, Delicate from List A and Pottery from List B.

Blue Cochin chickens are known for feathered feet, which kept them warm in their original habitat, the mountains of China. This one lives at Wright-Locke Farm, where she lays eggs and waddles around the enclosure. She's friendly, and likes to hang out with her fellow Cochins.

The nice weather was flying north-east, but on Tuesday I wanted to be more to the south-east. Considering the time, my compromise was to head east for making a photo of the RB37 between Neuss and Krefeld, that is operated with TRI rolling stock.

Under a threatening sky, with a subtle amount of sun barely lighting the scene, TRI E11 112 is seen heading the RB37 towards Neuss.

Zeiss 156/2 APO Sonnar

Not being super-familiar with the birds of Florida, it took some research to figure out that this is a "white ibis" and not a "glossy ibis."

 

Apparently juvenile white ibises are not very white at all. The deciding factors for this ID were the pinkish bill and the streaky neck.

The Wood Ducks are in town and it's so good to see them. They made up for the barely rainy day, really heavy cloud cover and lower temps.

A small, barely noticeable, homage to Joseph Earl Sheffield, who in the mid 1800's, donated a fortune to support The Yale Scientific School, later renamed Sheffield Scientific School.
