Did this side of the bridge about an hour later as the sun was just at the correct angle to provide direct light on the side of the bridge. And yes it was really that bright out.
I never did much with CP when we were still going to Millinocket, mainly because I was usually the conductor for that job. That being said, I did get them a few times, as seen here with Andy and Matt heading north at North Twin.
CP GP38-2 3051 is leading CMQ 9020 with about forty cars, marking the last time a CMQ engine went north to Millinocket. It's just starting to snow here, the beginning of a predicted fourteen inches of snow, and within an hour, there were already several inches of snow on the ground.
We did a longish coastwalk from Newton Ferrers to Mothecombe at the weekend. It looked like it was going to rain when we arrived at Newton Ferrers but the sky cleared to give a warmish winters day with some great views.

I did have a steam and fence shot, but I've left that at home, this one is a reminder of the snow just before Christmas so festive and now just a distant memory it would seem.
Got knocked back from a fence group last week, so this one is a little more obvious:) hope it is ok.
Happy fence Friday!

It did not surprise me, that nobody played tennis that day, but what was surprising that there were no kids on toboggan hill next to the courts. Kids are so used to being cooped up at home, possibly doing virtual skiing, tobogganing and yes even playing tennis on their screens. (I did play tennis once on computer). This was two weeks ago. All snow is gone now.

Did a short hike up to Mt Ettalong Lookout — a cracking spot to take in the sleepy little village of Pearl Beach.
I’ve always loved the way the beach curves away like a brushstroke of gold against the ocean.
Fun Fact: That little island off the headland is Lion Island — a nature reserve named after its shape, though from this angle it looks more like a sleepy seal than a lion to me.
Across the water are Sydney’s northern beaches — only about 3 km away as the seagull flies, but nearly a 100 km (and 90-minute!) drive to get there by car.
Maybe one day, when I win Lotto, I’ll move to Pearl Beach!
Have a great week everyone — and thanks as always for the comments, they’re truly appreciated!

I did some color chance on the other side of my newest tessellation 'Play'.
And found these four swinging ladies dancing on the music by Whitney Houston: 'I wanna dance with somebody ' .
They both are folded from German wrapping paper, grid 1:64", hexagon about 33cm, finish size about 15 cm, and again slightly concaaf. I think due to the density of the pattern and the thickness of this paper.
If you are interested to see more, have a look at my tessellation album Origami - Tessellation Progression".
It's too late now. I know some people on flickr would die for a foreground of icy shapes like this. But with Effie waiting in the car, I just hopped down onto the rocks and did my snapshot thing, slapdash, without a moment's thought. The sea loch had frozen over and when the tide went out the ice was left as a thin sheet over the rocks on the shore, which eventually punched up through the ice splintering it and creating a bizarre and unusual sight. Perhaps common in Finland, but the Baltic Sea has no tide to speak of, so it probably doesn't do this there.
I'm sorely tempted to go back and do the job properly....but the weather might just change, and I lose my opportunity. Damn!
Any ideas for what techniques you would use for this scene, much appreciated! Let it all out!
Honest opinion, please
My thanks to all of you who stop, look and comment. I will be sure to check out your photostream

I did go check on the SoCal celebrity Snowy Owl over the weekend. She was still hanging out on the neighborhood rooftops by day, heading out on her hunt at dusk. I really wanted to see her fly, so I hung in there. For the last half hour or so I watched her get ready - preening, stretching, pooping, and I agonizing as I moved my ISO higher and higher. By the way, she's carefully watched by wildlife management who report she's eating well - a variety of rodents. For my own theory why she roosts on the rooftops: I think it's pretty safe for her. No animal predators like coyote or fox, and no large raptors like Red-tailed Hawks to bug her since they don't hang out in human housing developments. There's some wide-open spaces just a few blocks away from her chosen neighborhood where she can find her prey. She does tend to snuggle unphotogenically up to the rooftop vents.
Krazy technical info here, work in Lightroom and Topaz Denoise. I got 18 shots in less than a second before she flew behind a tree and I lost her.
While waiting for the sun to rise on the banks of a perfectly calm Patoka Lake, something devoured something else. If I had to guess, I would go with a larger fish took a much smaller one who was swimming near the surface. It was the distinctive gulp sound that caught my ear and directed my eyes to this lone bubble with the smallest of ripples departing its base.
As I viewed and photographed the bubble, shown here, I remember thinking “Why in the hell did you just photograph a bubble?” It was while editing that it hit me that it is the last remnant of a life…and like that life, it will only be here for a short while.
Adventure before our lone bubble.
We did the Seven Sisters walk from Beachy Head to Cuckmere Haven which was pretty tiring but there some great views to be seen on the way.

Bodnant House, one week ago...before the weather turned more towards Winter...as it certainly has today.
Glad I don't have to go out today...my wig might blow off...not a cool look for a Milk Tray Man.
~ Did you see the frightened ones
Did you hear the falling bombs
Did you ever wonder
Why we had to run for shelter
When the promise of a brave new world
Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky
Did you see the frightened ones
Did you hear the falling bombs
The flames are all long-gone
But the pain lingers on
Goodbye blue sky ~

Wow! where did that week go??? I don't think I've stopped at all and still have a few days to go LOL
Had to search through the archives for a fence Friday shot today.... Mum and I were here last year and were fortunate enough to have the road to ourselves :)
The dark hedges are rows of beech trees lining a road near Armoy, Ballymoney. They are some of the most photographed trees in Northern Ireland and have been made famous by the recent TV series Game of Thrones.
Wishing you all a Happy Fence Friday :)
Thank you everyone for the fantastic comments on my bluebell pic and my jumping quad pic :)
Really should be Viewed On Black
Ana's reaction: (i love her poetry!):
she had a frontier made of glass.
sometimes she feels
she could arrive
she doesn't have sure
about the
future's door
i believe
she must arrive
to that
clear department
of
open
windows
I said treat to get her to look at me lol she definitely is my favorite subject for now. She belongs to my daughter & son in-law and are moving out of state. Their other dog had surgery and is in a kennel most the day she's a total sweetheart as well. Thanks for stopping by!
Also using a new lens its all manual...unfortunately is a Laowa 100mm/2.8 2:1 ultra macro
Did you spot the four-leaf clover?
Let me tell you about the day I found it. We decided to go on a shorter walk that day and after an hour it started to rain. Suddenly I saw this four-leaf clover! I have to admit that I find them from time to time: I am always looking out for special flowers and for four- or five-leaf clovers. Meanwhile, the rain was coming down faster and faster. Not much luck there ...
We were sheltering under a large tree in the wood when two people came from the opposite direction and sought refuge under the exact same tree. We had a pleasant conversation. They were the only two hikers we met that day.
After some time the rain became less intense and we continued our walk. The light and the sky were special and I made a couple of nice photos. And in the evening I made the 'Clouds In The Valley'-photo (see my photostream), which now has the most views so far.
Is this sensational? No, but little things like this can really make me happy!
The lion was asleep when I stood at his enclosure but I waited a while and hoped that he would move. Finally he at least opened his eyes because a leaf fell on him and by the way he looked at me I could tell that he thought it was me who had woken him up.
When I did my last photo I remembered Venxia, a place I have not visited a long time.
Venexia is a dark role-play SIM and in my opinion one of the building highlights in second life.

Last spring, I was taking a drive through the park, and it was lightly snowing. It wasn't hard to spot this bright blue mountain bluebird off in the distance because he really stood out against the snowy landscape. Generally, they are pretty skittish, but this little guy hung around for quite some time, giving me ample opportunity to capture a few decent shots. I just loved his expressions in this one, like he was questioning whether it was really spring. Apparently, there have been sightings of them in the park already this year, so I'm hoping to catch up with them later this weekend.
Did you know that Pine Siskins can survive in very cold temperatures? The metabolic rates of this species are typically 40% higher than a "normal" songbird. When temperatures plunge as low as -70 degrees C or -94 degrees F, they can accelerate that rate up to five times normal for several hours! (CornellLab)
