Last month I met some friends and we had beautiful clear winter day shooting the Tetons from about as many angles that we could think of and get to! We didn't want to stroll too far from the vehicles in the -10 degree F. temperatures.

All done! I'm really pretty happy with how these two turned out. They're now on their way to their new home in Minnesota.

Two stapelias on my windowsill. They are both blooming at my home now :)
Stapelia is a genus of low-growing, spineless, stem succulent plants, predominantly from South Africa with a few from other parts of Africa. Plants grow from 5 to 30 cm high, producing numerous shoots and forming clusters. Most Stapelia flowers are visibly hairy and generate the odor of rotten flesh when they bloom. Such odours serve to attract various specialist pollinators including, in the case of carrion-scented blooms, blow flies of the dipteran family Calliphoridae. They grow in well-drained soils in dry, usually rocky areas, between rocks and under bushes. A handful of species are commonly cultivated as pot plants and are even used as rockery plants in countries where the climate permits.

Moje domowe stapelie. Obie kwitną teraz na moim parapecie :)
Stapelia – rodzaj roślin należący do rodziny toinowatych, liczący około 39 gatunków pochodzących z południowej Afryki. Rośliny o wysokości od 5 do 30 cm, wytwarzające liczne pędy i tworzące skupiny. Roślina tworzy na młodych pędach, od jednego do dziesięciu pięciokrotnych, gwiazdokształtnych lub rzadziej dzwonkowatych, obupłciowych kwiatów, w odcieniach brązu, czerwieni, żółci lub fioletu. Kwiaty zapylane są przez muchówki w większości i wydzielają zapach podobny do zepsutego mięsa. Rosną na dobrze przepuszczalnych glebach na obszarach suchych, zazwyczaj kamienistych, między skałami i pod krzewami. Kilka gatunków jest powszechnie uprawianych jako rośliny doniczkowe, a nawet jako rośliny do ogródków skalnych w krajach, w których pozwala na to klimat.

Both of these Dreams started out as a very dark photo of peaches on a plate. This one was crossed with a palette-knife oil painting with light, bright colors.

With both 60001 & 019 required at Acton for traction training in the next week or two this was possibly the last chance to capture a tug on the local stone traffic.
Originally showing the return as caped on the system a very late input had this in as a STP so everything finally came together with 60001 passing Berkley with the 7c66 Wotton Bassett-Merehead empties on driver training duties.

The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) typically dominate other fox species. Arctic foxes generally escape competition from red foxes by living farther north, where food is too scarce to support the larger-bodied red species. Although the red species' northern limit is linked to the availability of food, the Arctic species' southern range is limited by the presence of the former. Red and Arctic foxes were both introduced to almost every island from the Aleutian Islands to the Alexander Archipelago during the 1830s–1930s by fur companies. The red foxes invariably displaced the Arctic foxes, with one male red fox having been reported to have killed off all resident Arctic foxes on a small island in 1866. Where they are sympatric, Arctic foxes may also escape competition by feeding on lemmings and flotsam, rather than voles, as favoured by red foxes. Both species will kill each other's kits, given the opportunity.
Red foxes are serious competitors of corsac foxes, as they hunt the same prey all year. The red species is also stronger, is better adapted to hunting in snow deeper than 10 cm (4 in) and is more effective in hunting and catching medium to large-sized rodents. Corsac foxes seem to only outcompete red foxes in semi-desert and steppe areas. In Israel, Blanford's foxes escape competition with red foxes by restricting themselves to rocky cliffs and actively avoiding the open plains inhabited by red foxes.:84–85 Red foxes dominate kit and swift foxes. Kit foxes usually avoid competition with their larger cousins by living in more arid environments, though red foxes have been increasing in ranges formerly occupied by kit foxes due to human-induced environmental changes. Red foxes will kill both species, and compete for food and den sites. Grey foxes are exceptional, as they dominate red foxes wherever their ranges meet. Historically, interactions between the two species were rare, as grey foxes favoured heavily wooded or semiarid habitats as opposed to the open and mesic ones preferred by red foxes. However, interactions have become more frequent due to deforestation allowing red foxes to colonise grey fox-inhabited areas.
Wolves may kill and eat red foxes in disputes over carcasses. In areas in North America where red fox and coyote populations are sympatric, fox ranges tend to be located outside coyote territories. The principal cause of this separation is believed to be active avoidance of coyotes by the foxes. Interactions between the two species vary in nature, ranging from active antagonism to indifference. The majority of aggressive encounters are initiated by coyotes, and there are few reports of red foxes acting aggressively toward coyotes except when attacked or when their kits were approached. Foxes and coyotes have sometimes been seen feeding together. In Israel, red foxes share their habitat with golden jackals. Where their ranges meet, the two canids compete due to near identical diets. Foxes ignore jackal scents or tracks in their territories, and avoid close physical proximity with jackals themselves. In areas where jackals become very abundant, the population of foxes decreases significantly, apparently because of competitive exclusion.
Red foxes dominate raccoon dogs, sometimes killing their kits or biting adults to death. Cases are known of foxes killing raccoon dogs entering their dens. Both species compete for mouse-like prey. This competition reaches a peak during early spring, when food is scarce. In Tartaria, red fox predation accounted for 11.1% of deaths among 54 raccoon dogs, and amounted to 14.3% of 186 raccoon dog deaths in north-western Russia.
Red foxes may kill small mustelids like weasels, stone martens, pine martens, stoats, kolonoks, polecats and young sables. Eurasian badgers may live alongside red foxes in isolated sections of large burrows. It is possible that the two species tolerate each other out of mutualism; foxes provide badgers with food scraps, while badgers maintain the shared burrow's cleanliness.:15 However, cases are known of badgers driving vixens from their dens and destroying their litters without eating them. Wolverines may kill red foxes, often while the latter are sleeping or near carrion. Foxes in turn may kill unattended young wolverines.
Red foxes may compete with striped hyenas on large carcasses. Red foxes may give way to hyenas on unopened carcasses, as the latter's stronger jaws can easily tear open flesh that is too tough for foxes. Foxes may harass hyenas, using their smaller size and greater speed to avoid the hyena's attacks. Sometimes, foxes seem to deliberately torment hyenas even when there is no food at stake. Some foxes may mistime their attacks, and are killed.:77–79 Fox remains are often found in hyena dens, and hyenas may steal foxes from traps.
In Eurasia, red foxes may be preyed upon by leopards, caracals and Eurasian lynxes. The lynxes chase red foxes into deep snow, where their longer legs and larger paws give them an advantage over foxes, especially when the depth of the snow exceeds one metre. In the Velikoluki district in Russia, red foxes are absent or are seen only occasionally where lynxes establish permanent territories. Researchers consider lynxes to represent considerably less danger to red foxes than wolves do. North American felid predators of red foxes include cougars, Canadian lynxes and bobcats. Occasionally, large raptors such as Eurasian eagle owls will prey on young foxes, while golden eagles have been known to kill adults.
Both locos are clearly working hard on the final stretch of 1 in 36 gradient approaching the summit tunnel, I suspect the class 47 was added purely as a positioning move.

Both were AEC buses.
RM1 received all the show and publicity of being the first Routemaster, whereas RM2 was used much more as a test bus: tolerance to stress, hill climbing, steering movements, driving over rough surfaces, etc. RM2 had a smaller 7.68 litre engine at this stage, but it was later changed to 9.6 litre engine requiring the protruding radiator.
From “Routemaster” by Ken Blacker, he writes of RM 2 being at Chobham for endurance tests. Before this it was, working backwards, at Titsey Hill for hill climbing, the MIRA, Nuneaton for strain and stress testing, and with RM1 at Northholt for engine comparison, RM2 having a smaller engine than RM1. Staines was the centre for information gathering.

They both love the snow but Bob was really loving it! Nibbling and frolicking, frolicking and nibbling ... Bob was in heaven :)
I pretty much stayed in the same spot to get this photo of both the bookstore and the lantern. With Christmas over and the only other holiday that involves decorations a month away (Valentine's Day), the Chinese New Year Lantern is now in place.
both are important

Good times for both the cheetah family and for me :-)! It was so nice seeing them so relaxed and enjoying themselves! The cheetah cubs having playtime while mama cheetah keeps watch! This photo was taken in the Mara North Conservancy in Kenya, Africa!
morning sun waking up and evening light going down, shortly meeting... wishing all of you a peaceful and festive end of the year, thank you for visiting and all your sharing in 2013 - I truly enjoyed watching your (not only visual) choices :) !
With both of Conway Scenic's steam locomotives currently out of service, recently restored Boston and Maine F7's #4266 and #4268 were used as a substitute to the Mass Bay Rail Enthusiasts 2023 "Steam in the Snow" fan trip. Despite the cloudy skies, the two old gals put on a good show, with a couple inches of fresh powder on the ground to boot.
The new stuff doesn't tickle my fancy but seeing these workhorses from days gone by restored to their former glory reminds me why I have a fondness for railroads and their history. There is no question that the best days of the railroad industry are dead and buried, but thanks to donations to the 470 Club and the hard work of many volunteers and Conway Scenic employees, history survives the test of time and the scrapper's torch in 2023.

Both my best friend of four years (and no, not without complications along the way), and my son. Without you, I question if I would have ever learned what true friendship feels like. Working through our differences, finding ways to be able to be in one another's life. ♥
