now no longer mean anything to me at all! all gone. From trust to the external material. Please, please turn off the life of me go. I don't need you anymore because you was that I should cry more and not focus in education, learning becomes very bad.
Not happening quite yet. There are braver people than me on the ice. Way out there is an ice fishing hut.

... während der TV-Lebenshilfe-Serie: "Hilfe, mein Kind nörpelt".
Heute zu den Fragen:
"Nörpeln, nur eine pubertäre Randerscheinung?
Wie ratsam ist die Nörpelschutzimpfung?"
Verbindlichen Dank dir, lieber Klaus, genannt "Objektkontrast" www.flickr.com/photos/tykle/ ,

A pair of people having an emotionally charged conversation. Taken this winter - only just got around to processing.
Breakups are hard ... but saying goodbye to scenes like this for another year are especially tough ;-)

Looking good in spite of a broken heart with items from Designer Showcase. For more info and links, see my Blog ~ aznanasfandangles.blogspot.com/2018/02/valentines-breakup...
The Tanana River (meaning 'river trail' in Athacascan, and pronounced 'TA-na-naa') east and north of Tok has not quite let go of it's winter ice, though much of the river downstream from here to the Yukon River is running ice free.
As you can see by lots of tracks, this river is an important 'highway' in both summer and winter, for travel both upstream and down, to places not served by a roadway. River travel is regulated by the Dept of Transportation, in much the same way as conventional roads.
The City of Arcadia is the county seat for DeSoto County. It is centrally located between Orlando, Ft. Myers; Sarasota and Lake Okeechobee at the crossroads of US 17 and State Route 70.
Arcadia is famous throughout Florida for its historic downtown antique district. Additionally, on the fourth Saturday of each month, vendors from surrounding locations take over our streets with even more wares and precious finds. Tucked between the shops, you'll have the chance to enjoy cafes, home cooking, a tea room and even an old fashion ice cream parlor, complete with homemade delicious flavors, sundaes and shakes.
The Arcadia All-Florida Championship Rodeo is held in March, the Annual Watermelon Festival in May at the height of the harvesting season, and car shows, parades, and special events take place throughout the year.
According to The Atlas of Florida, "The Rev. James Madison ("Boss") Hendry (1839–1922) named the town in honor of Arcadia Albritton (1861–1932), a daughter of Thomas H. and Fannie (Waldron) Albritton, pioneer settlers. Arcadia had baked him a cake for his birthday and he appreciated it so much that he named the city after her."
In 1886, transportation improved in Arcadia when the Florida Southern Railway (later the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad) was built through Arcadia on its way from Bartow to Punta Gorda. The railway caused Arcadia to grow significantly, which led to Arcadia becoming incorporated a year later. A second railroad line, the Charlotte Harbor and Northern Railway (later the Seaboard Air Line Railroad), was built through Arcadia from 1907 to 1910 on its way from Mulberry to Boca Grande. Both lines have since been consolidated into a single line by CSX with the Seaboard line surviving north of Arcadia and the Atlantic Coast Line surviving to the south. Arcadia was also served by the short-lived East and West Coast Railway which connected Arcadia with Bradenton from 1915 to 1934.
During the late 19th century Arcadia was the county seat of what would become many counties. In 1921 legislation enacted called for Arcadia to remain the county seat of DeSoto County and resulted in the creation of the present-day counties of Charlotte, Hardee, Glades and Highlands. Prior to this breakup Arcadia's population had grown considerably, with over 1,000 permanent residents and 3,000 square miles (7,800 km2) for ranching.
On Thanksgiving Day in 1905 the town was destroyed by a large-scale fire that originated from a mid-town livery stable. The fire was exacerbated because the town did not have a working water system or fire department. The estimated monetary damage was $250,000, but there was no loss of life. Much of the business district was not spared. It would be years before the town recovered.
Oak Street is the "main street" in Arcadia. The downtown is far more elaborate than neighboring counties' downtown areas, as Arcadia is older and was their county seat prior to the formation of their present counties. Arcadia is also home to many early 20th century homes, houses of worship and several historic public buildings.
From 1917 to 1922, Arcadia was the home of Carlstrom Field, a grass airfield of the U.S. Army Air Service named for deceased aviation pioneer Victor Carlstrom. Carlstrom Field was used for pilot training both during and after World War I. In May 1941 the site again became an airfield for military primary flight training, operated by the Embry–Riddle Aeronautical Institute (now Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University). Carlstrom Field, one of several satellite fields in the Fort Myers area, also trained pilots for the Royal Air Force until its closing in 1945.
Arcadia's historic buildings include the Johnson-Smith House, William Oswell Ralls House and Micajah T. Singleton House. Also, approximately 3,400 acres which includes the downtown area are part of the Arcadia Historic District.

Breakup of a vibrant rainbow.
A few minutes, and a few miles previous of "Morning Storm"
Curves adjustment and more of a square crop.
This is taken right off Front Street in Kotzebue, the sound is breaking up and floating out to sea. It's really quite amazing to witness . . .
I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time, walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme. You know my love goes with you as your love stays with me, it's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea, but let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie, your eyes are soft with sorrow.
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.
Doc and I had several things to do in Glennallen this morning, and marveled at how fast the warm temperatures, and stiff breezes from the south - were melting the snow.
Outside of our local bank, the usual "breakup" lake had formed. It is not only large - but pretty darned deep as well. Each spring, Doc and I refer to it as "Wells Fargo Lake".
Sadly - if the melt keeps up at its current rate - there will be massive flooding along all of our rivers. It is something most rural Alaskans think about and prepare for. You must be ready to leave your property at a moment's notice.
Mating Behavior
Once mature, a male dragonfly or damselfly establishes a territory from which he chases other males. When on territory, he produces packets of sperm called spermatophores at the tip of his abdomen (tenth segment), reaches the tip forward and places the spermatophores in a depression on the lower surface of the second abdominal segment.
With his sperm receptacle filled, the male flies out and grasps a female's head with his clasping genitalia at the abdominal tip. Each species' male genitalia fit the head of only the female of that species. (Slaty Skimmer Clamped in Tandem.) In some dragonflies and damselflies, the shape of the male genitalia is the most constant and accurate identifier of the insect's species.
Once the male has grasped a female, they fly in tandem for some time (Swamp Spreadwing in Tandem). The male usually flies while the female rests. Rarely, the female will fly while the male rests. It is unusual for both odonates to be flying at the same time.After some time, the female reaches the tip of her abdomen below her body and grasps the male's second segment to pick up the spermatophores he placed there. During this process, called the wheel formation, the two dragonflies take on a circular or heart-shaped pose. The two may stay in the wheel formation for upwards of fifteen minutes before the female releases and returns to the tandem position. (Eastern Forktails in Wheel Formation image.)
Egg Laying
Once the wheel is broken, the female may leave the male, separate from him as he remains close to her, or they may stay together in tandem as she goes about laying eggs (oviposition). Oviposition may take many forms:
•Skimmer females usually leave their mates soon after breakup and fly over shallow water, dropping to the water's surface to lay her eggs and rising again.
•Darner males do not release their females and carry them to likely places for oviposition. The female dips her abdomen to the water's surface and they rise a couple of inches before flying to a new location.
•Some damselfly males do not release their mates – even when the female climbs down a plant stem to lay her eggs in that stem, but several centimeters below the water's surface. The male may be dragged down until he is almost submerged, but he is needed to help her break through the water surface once egg laying is over.
•Emerald dragonfly females have thorn-like ovipositors with which they stab the mud surrounding the bogs in which they lay their eggs. (Red and yellow arrows in the photo of the Clamp-tipped Emerald.) The eggs are deposited below the surface of the mud to hatch when rains raise the level of the bog and submerge the mud.
•Some damselflies and dragonflies, including the two primitive Anisotrophomorpha species, lay their eggs in the stems and leaves of sedges, rushes, and aquatic plants. Many that use aquatic plants have saw-like ovipositors that slice through the outer tissues of these structures and allow the eggs to be inserted below the stem surface. (Red arrow in the Eastern Forktail Female picture.) There have been several studies on ovipositioning scars on fossil leaves and stems from the Carboniferous Period, and many of these scars have been attributed to dragonflies and damselflies.
Dragonflies are unique in the insect world in their morphology and behaviors.
Breakup in Fairbanks Alaska isn't complete without the threat of ice jams on the Chena River which flows through downtown.
This year I watched as an ice jam from upriver pass through, it was pretty darn neat
I thought the cracks made an interesting pattern. It was also interesting to see those large plates of surface ice rise and fall as the waves passed invisibly beneath them. The breakup of harbour ice is an indication that winter is finally coming to an end in Toronto. This was taken on the vernal equinox.

A mix of sun and cloud today. The ice has gone down alot in the past couple of days along the shore
Have a great week friends

The original Reading & Northern cab units, PRR E8A pair 5898-5706, roll west at Erwins NY with the Glass City Limited, an excursion that originated in Buffalo, headed east to Rochester including mileage on the West Shore, then south through Geneva on the Corning Secondary to its destination. The return trip headed back on the Erie main as seen here on the 18 October 1987 voyage. The E-units were acquired by RBM&N from Amtrak, and were two of five units overhauled with HEP for service on the eastern portion of the Northeast Corridor. Two of the other rebuilds became Conrail executive units 4020 and 4021, and upon the breakup wound up with Juniata Terminal who restored the pair to PRR colors in a similar manner to this pair.
Was outside at the right time last night, in the East South East sky at about 38 Degrees, object breaking up at a 45 Degree angle. Was my first Meteorite breakup, falling apart as it descended to oblivion. Was in the process of taking picture of faint object in sky, Exposure is approx. 1 min 24 seconds prior to release of shutter. Used a Nikkor 55-300 mm lens, set at 100mm @ F/5.6 ratio / taken w/Nikon D3200 Iso 800
