M503 is back up to speed after hanging back at Woodland Jct, waiting on a motive power plagued L375 here at Milford. The local is finally in the clear and the C&EI towards Evansville is finally open for southbound movement again. Afternoons tend to be busy on this leg of the C&EI and this 1st of December is no different. I195, M500, L375, M503 and I129 all ran in daylight between Woodland Jct and Danville.
Love does not stand firmly in one place demanding it's own way.

Matthias Church is a Roman Catholic church located in Budapest, Hungary, in front of the Fisherman's Bastion at the heart of Buda's Castle District. According to church tradition, it was originally built in Romanesque style in 1015. The current building was constructed in the florid late Gothic style in the second half of the 14th century and was extensively restored in the late 19th century. It was the second largest church of medieval Buda and the seventh largest church of the medieval Hungarian Kingdom.
The I-90 bridges are two floating bridges over Lake Washington that connect the east side of Seattle to and from the city. The section of bridge seen here is the connection between land to floating sections. The Murrow Bridge is the second-longest floating bridge on Earth at 6,620 ft (2,020 m); the longest is the Governor Albert D. Rosellini Bridge—Evergreen Point (2016, original: 1963), a few miles north on the same lake. The third-longest is the Hood Canal Bridge, about thirty miles (50 km) to the northwest. The original Murrow Bridge opened in 1940 and was called the Lake Washington Floating Bridge. It was renamed the Lacey V. Morrow bridge in 1967. The original bridge closed in 1989; with the current bridge opening in 1993.

I've learned to take everything someone says with a grain of salt. They will tell you what they want you to believe, but in reality the truth is usually in focus, they just forget that it's been shown. Have the courage to speak the truth, rather than avoiding the situation.....

De nuevo Atxabiribil, Sopelana (Bizkaia), en esa tarde de nubes grises potentes, viendo otro angulo de los posibles. Utilice un filtro ND 1.2 de Tiffen y un degradado 0.9 de Lee para dar ese aire de "fin del mundo" en el cielo. Con Photoshop aumente contraste y toque los niveles un pelin ya que estaba bastante bien de luz para mi gusto. Aumento de nitidez y filtro ruido para el cielo.

Armed Forces Day Observed on the third Saturday every May, this is a day dedicated to paying tribute to those currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.
Two years ago in early November I bought my current and first DSLR camera. I had not done any night shooting prior to my coming to the annual lighting of the Pigeon Point Lighthouse's Fresnel Lens. I was a nervous wreck trying to get set up, and a fellow photographer even attempted to sabotage me by telling me to do things that made my shots worse.
I came away that evening with a decent shot, but because I used a high ISO a very grainy shot. Well, it's been two years and they re-lit the lens tonight and I was able to try getting that shot one more time.
I met some wonderful people and got to hang with my friend Paul and even saw another flickr contact I haven't seen in a while.
It was a fantastic evening!
A pale sone with some drizzle and temperatures significantly above zero. That is the current weather situation nor here in Northwest Germany. Time to use the holiday season for a hiking tour along River Weser between Minden and Petershagen. Ostwestfalen, Germany
Sixth image in my current Ice and Snow series...
We regularly have Canada geese and Mallard flocks that overwinter at our city's lakeshore, often swimming among the ice floes and freezing water. And sometimes we have surprising visitors that join the regulars, in this case a Trumpeter Swan!
As I often do in the wintertime, I went down to the lakeshore at sunset a couple days ago to photograph the ducks and geese and I discovered this beautiful, white swan. It was hanging around the geese.
I didn't get many shots of it before 50 geese decided to lift into the air and fly away, which triggered this swan to do the same. I was disappointed but was glad I got at least this nice capture to share with you.
What appears to be dirt and debris floating on the water surface here in the foreground is actually small bits of ice. How ANY of these birds can comfortably swim in such cold water is beyond me. But they don’t seem to mind and they carry on as if it were summer.
I love the pure white of the swan bathed in the reflected colors of the sunset here. Enjoy!
La Ceja, Antioquia, Colombia; Central Andes; 2.300 meters above sea level.
The Andean squirrel (Sciurus pucheranii) is a tree squirrel endemic to Colombia.
The Andean squirrel is a typical tree squirrel, in its general proportions resembling the Eastern grey squirrel of North America. However, it is much smaller, with a body length of only about 14 centimetres (5.5 in), and a 12 to 16 centimetres (4.7 to 6.3 in) tail. It has soft, silky, reddish-brown fur over most of the body, merging to greyish-yellow on the underparts. The tail fur is darker than that on the body,
It inhabits montane rain forest and cloud forests of the Cordillera Occidental and Cordillera Central of the Colombian Andes, at elevations between 2,000 and 3,300 metres (6,600 and 10,800 ft). As a tree squirrel, it lives among Cecropia trees, palms, and tree ferns. It is believed to be diurnal, but sufficiently little is known about its habits, population, and habitat requirements, that it is currently listed as data deficient by the IUCN.

Reef Heron ( Egretta sacra )
"Early one morning"....Clever bird stood in breaking light on a steep sided edge waiting...
A dead fish lay nearby, so with each surge small fish came surfing to grab a mouthful. In turn some filled the Herons crop.....
I photographed this bird sometime in 2016 but to stay current ,one has to put a new date?.....
My house is built on hallowed ground and land that was reclaimed from the sea. It suits the essence of me and calms my spirit to walk in my garden knowing that it was left for many years, an abandoned place until the house was built and the stony and sandy ground where nothing much grew except ancient plants; wild flowers that blew in on the wind. Then someone planted trees from all four corners of the earth and plants that should not have survived began to flourish as if the roots of these trees breathed new life into the earth. There have been only a few guardians of this magical place and I am honoured to be the current guardian. At first I tried to plant what I liked; tried to enforce my will on this holy place, but in time I realised something … you cannot force a garden to grow; to bend to your will. A garden evolves slowly over time of it's own accord mostly and we, as guardians, should allow it to guide us. In this way I have found peace and happiness here and I embrace the changes of my ever-evolving garden. I seldom buy anything new to plant. I wait for the winds; I wait for the seasons; I witness the changes and I grow and evolve as a person in much the same way as my garden does. It is a joy to anticipate each new season; each new wind; and to see what appears. There is always something unexpected appearing. Life is full of surprises; of serendipitous moments. I wonder sometimes about these old trees. I think whoever planted them was guided and perhaps the garden welcomed the dappled shade on what once was a desert. Certainly I feel myself sometimes directed to introduce a new species. Perhaps I am guided also by a hand that I cannot fathom. We are not meant to understand everything. If we allow ourselves to just be, we may find, without effort, how our path unfolds with relative ease. I have found this to be the case. All those years of struggle and now I can just let go … it really is that easy to be content.
p.s. I was compelled reluctantly to remove a Laburnum tree that I thought might be harmful to my cats. I had always wanted such a tree with it's beautiful yellow flowers … but in it's place a Forsythia grew with a profusion of yellow flowers. I did not plant it! Magic? Yes, I believe so! : 0)

“We leave our footprints in a place to mingle with the echoes of all that went before; our heartbeats; our rhythm; the patterns of our lives.” - AP
I wander in the wilderness
my garden of delights
a jungle by the turquoise sea
a land so flat; the moon at night
shines down with silvery fingers
and touches the ground with magical spells
and come the breaking dawn of morning
all ills are banished and all is well
the dark and mysterious creatures
who loiter in the dusk
emerge in brilliant sunshine
with all-seeing eyes; an elephant tusk
protrudes and scythes the longest grasses
parts the meadow like the ancient sea
leaving behind a trail of crimson
flowers of sorrel and sweet harmony
reigns here as the King of the Jungle
seeks solace in the afternoon siesta
ignores the urban sounds outside
these walls; these trees; a back-firing Fiesta
alerts the songbirds from their idle rest
they flitter and flutter from tree to tree
and as I lie within the striped hammock
I swing and sing low to the sound of the breeze
a mist arises suddenly; springs up from the sea
settles a cloak; an air of mystery
around the shoulders of myself and the limbs
of the ancient trees as I sip my Pimms
I can barely keep my eyes from closing
the warmth of the air so cloying and deep
I find myself falling gently to the humming of bees
as I lapse now into a soundless sleep
I awake to find the blue sky black
lit by a billion diamonds or more
an infinite guide is laid out before me
the wisdom of ancient celestial stars of yore
some say when we see them
they have already died
long ago before our ancestors
what does this imply
do our eyes deceive us
or are we psychic or perhaps
we are more knowledgeable than we realise
all we need falls easily into our laps
but still we often ignore
the instincts that are given
override them; divide them
dilute them; we're driven
to only see clearly to the end of our noses
we fail to stop often to smell the scent of the roses
take stock; stand still
absorb the nature of all living things
for in this garden I discovered
nature brings happiness and happiness brings
peace of mind; plentiful bounty
the sweetest fruits of the earth
the love that will bind us
circumnavigate the world's girth
here I find every day all that I need
the flora; the fauna; all that set seed
and I've no desire to be anywhere else
as much as I desire to be here
in this garden full of Heaven
there is love; there is goodness that I hold dear
from the humblest of creatures
find the beauty in a fly
sing so loud like a blackbird
view the world through a child's eyes.

Female Long Tailed Duck fighting a strong current... When I used to hunt many years ago, these were known as "Old Squaw" ducks. In the interest of PC, that name has been pushed aside in favor of the name "Long Tailed Duck". These ducks are among the most adept of the diving ducks, being able to dive to depths of 200 feet and thus being powerful swimmers. They need to be to live and feed in the Indian River Inlet where the currents are swift and the depths reach 100 feet in places.
I have been in hospital since 10th April 2022 after a fall. It looks like I will be in hospital for at least 2 - 4 more days.
To my sponsors, I will try to make up for it after I get out.
With the lack of opportunity to move freely during Covid 19, I decided to take a series of shots of reflections in the local streams, ponds, ditches and a short stretch of the River Thames. This one was taken next to Hampton Court Bridge.
