Jubilee 45690 "Leander" makes a spirited climb to Ais Gill with last nights returning Dalesman. The 3 cylinder roar could be heard long before and after she came into view powering her 12 coach load past Angerholme in lovely early evening sunshine.
With both EMD's roaring on a fully loaded 5444N Westons grain from Penny's Rd at Bellata, SSR102 and SSR101 bog down and struggle up the harsh 1/40 grade as they snake their way out of Doughboy Hollow to the top of Ardglen Bank.
The train would arrive into Newcastle long after dark and become one of the first SSR trains to tip at Carrington, where the train would form to 4841N and head West to load again.
A Rufous Hummingbird digs deep in search of nectar, it was an amazing scene of activity as the morning broke and they began to feed
Carré exudes innocence. I'd first met her years ago, through a friend, and that was always (having never really had a conversation with her) the impression that I came away with.
But then she joined my stable of models, we had several conversations of increasing depth, and I realized that image of innocence belied a deep reservoir of things far more complex.
And I'd like to think that shows from shoot to shoot, that each time we shoot I get closer and closer to some core truths about her in my photographs.
Which is probably why I enjoy photographing her so much, because every time I do, there's this intent of scratching away at the surface, to get to know her better, to display something more significant in the images.
As they once said in The State, I seek knowledge, and its bastard son, Truth.

Messing around with a new technique, doing combined natural light and flash focus stack of unknown parasitoid wasp. Was observed taking massive beetles much larger than itself from a tree in a controlled fall and dragging them into a burrow in muddy soil next to mangroves.
The chase is on. Two Red Fox kit siblings (Vulpes vulpes) chase in play but they always stay close to the entrance to their den. Image taken in Jackson County, Colorado.

Digging into History
Young Hollish then spent the rest of the day in the Castle's vast library, and after climbing several ladders to find unused, dust covered cabinets locked with strange spells and heavy iron bands, she came away with a family history of Nightrose.
No such traditions as the Duke described were mentioned, and certainly nothing about flaming puppies of any kind. It did however mention that every other Solstice, the Duke's bride had to be sacrificed to appease "The Vengeful Harpy of the Woods"...whatever that was.
It said this Harpy was kept imprisoned just beyond the tree line towards the coast and she resolved loudly to go investigate it that very evening.
The Duke, sneaking around behind her...was less than pleased about that resolve, but grateful that being young and mostly innocent she tended to speak all her thoughts out loud as exposition.

With a bit of "digging" on my part, it could be a female Northern flicker.
With Kevin Rose, founder of Digg, and Nathan Myhrvold (former CTO of Microsoft). The founders of Google and Twitter were to my right for this TED Braintrust lunch.
An usual confluence of invitations had me dining with Gates for lunch and dinner on the same day (coincidentally, philosopher-king Daniel Dennett was also at both meals).
After we sat down, Gates lamented the setback from the Muslim clerics who preached that polio vaccines made the girls infertile: "The anti-vaccine movement has killed many people. It's frustrating. But we are working with the clerics. It is very hierarchical, so we can start at the top. In the next three years, we will either conquer polio, or we won't. It's a very important time."
Nagarkot , Nepal! It was chilly morning. Went for a walk in Nagarkot, I wish I had take many more photos.

Hitting the road this morning, but not before a snowy send off. One of my Mother's fine neighbors clearing the sidewalks in front of her home. My sister lives close by an showed up as I was pulling away to clear the driveway and whatever else was missed. I'm fortunate that I leave my mother in the good hands of great neighbors and my sister, certainly allows me to feel she is looked over while I'm away. She's 82, very independent and healthy of body and mind, but some help with the heavy lifting is so appreciated.
