Une histoire à raconter sur cette photo :
Nous ne sommes plus tout à fait dans la narration de mon confinement, cette photo ayant été prise le 12 mai : une de mes toutes premières première sortie à plus d'un kilomètre de la maison.
Il y en avait un autre qui faisait sa première sortie après un long confinement : mon vieux Fuji X100 première génération que je croyais perdu. Je l'ai retrouvé la veille de cette promenade.
Le pauvre : 5 ans dans un placard bien sombre de ma résidence secondaire.
Il a quand même fallu racheter la batterie, l'ancienne tenait à peine 30 photos.
This has one wild load and patina! When the chrome placard on the back end says "custom" ...it means it!
Happy Truck Thursday!
A long exposure, landscape image of the rocky coastline at Portknockie in Morayshire, Scotland, being pummelled by waves at sunset.
A slightly faster exposure than the one I uploaded the other day that better demonstrates the action.
Another storm and another cliff collapse have reshaped the coastline at Tongaporotu. The sea stacks called the Tree Sisters are holding up for the time being. When the oldest sister disappeared into the waves, the youngest sister was born out of the receding cliff and has only recently separated from it.

No one gets through this life without getting a bit battered and tattered along the way, but you just gotta keep going.

New Years Resolution......Get out and about more instead of sticking to a 7 mile radius from my home. I used to get out and drive a bit to different locations to take photos and made the sunset more important.
From the archives, November 15, 2020, Grand Haven Michigan.
Under what could be described as a stormy sky, a dented and grimy 47337 approaches Mount Pleasant crossing in Southampton with an intermodal train for Southampton Maritime container terminal.
47337 carries the Freightliner 1995 livery, a modest variation on the two-tone grey railfreight livery of the 1990s but enlivened with red diaganol stripes.
Surprisingly the locomotive survived the great locomotive cull that occurred at the start of the 21st century. 47337 was rebuilt into 57602 and in 2019 is still operational, hauling sleeper trains between London and Penzance.
Another less obvious survivor is also visible: the wasteland that was Bevois Park sidings above the locomotive is back in railway use in 2019. The yard reopened as an aggregate terminal in December 2015.

Steetley pier. My favourite old and out of use structure to capture. I can see why it's so well photographed.
Fancied a flower for a change & found this one taken at the beginning of the month in Kensington Gardens.
Butterflies fight each other and some get very tatty. We watched a pair of Speckled Wood butterflies fight an arial battle for 14 minutes last summer.

Hope you have a great weekend. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

Sunset view from the northeastern end of Waiheke Island into the southern parts of the Hauraki Gulf. The first island is Pakatoa which is privately owned and has been on the market for over 20 years. The next island down the chain is Rotoroa Island. It is owned by the Salvation Army and was used as a treatment centre for alcohol and drug addiction. The treatment facility was closed in 2005. In 2008, philanthropists Neal and Annette Plowman negotiated a 99-year lease from the Salvation Army and started to create a wildlife sanctuary. Rotoroa Island opened to the public for the first time in over 100 years in February 2011. After an extensive pest eradication programme, Rotoroa Island was pronounced predator free in 2014 and relocated threatened native bird species are thriving there again. Behind Rotoroa Island is privately owned Ponui Island. The hills behind Ponui Island are part of the Hunua Ranges on the mainland. They are an important catchment for Auckland's water supply which has become stretched by population growth and lengthening summer droughts.

Shelved for the season…. School and sports.
I remember how much we would look forward to baseball season every year when my son was playing. The parents of all of the players on all of the teams became family. We would all be down at the field almost every night, even when our own kids’ teams were not playing. Those were special times. I feel bad for all the families that will be missing out on this this year. And don’t even get me started on the graduations and the college seniors that missed out on their last season and the NCAAs. I do understand the need to be doing what we are doing, but it is still sad. I am so thankful to have those memories. I do hope that families will be able to replace the team sports with something amazing that they never would have had time for if they were following the usual sports schedules, and that they will be creating memories that they will value even more. I bet that some will!
How about you? What are your plans?
These beautiful snowdrops certainly are battered by the very wet conditions but they are such symbols of hope and new life to come.

This is one of my favourite trees along the Walltown Crags section of Hadrian's Wall. It has so much character to it, year after year it hangs on, clinging to life in one of the harshest environments that is prone to every possible weather situation throughout the year.
