Gradients as steep as 1 in 40 tackled by small engines produced spectacular sights on the Nidd Valley Light Railway. A freight train, bound for the Scar House Reservoir construction site and probably carrying bagged cement, is pictured in 1934 by H.G.W. Household. It is double headed and double banked. The location appears to be on the section beyond Lofthouse station, possibly the approach to Scar House Tunnel. The gradient has just eased, indicated by the angle of the rearmost engine. Note the bicycle leaning on the fence. Most likely, the photographer used it to reach this isolated location near the head of Nidderdale. The railway, opened in 1907 and owned and operated by Bradford Corporation Waterworks Department, closed to all traffic in 1937. Passenger services ceased on New Year's Eve, 1929.

We went outside this morning before it got too hot and played ball, then while I was off taking photos she decided to amuse herself and dig a hole. I had to take a photo of her, she had that devilish look on her face.

I was fascinated to watch how these reed bees were able to shove their way into the Gompholobium flowers. They just kept forcing their little heads between the wings to access the pollen presenter within. It looked like a very arduous task and took this little lady several minutes to complete her task. At one point she looked well and truly stuck in there! Thankfully her persistence paid off and she was able to free herself. Here we have a good shot of her beehind sticking out, so I will include it for Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday! [Colo, NSW]

This is the entrance for a beautiful cave.
If you expect a tiger or bear to be in this one, then you are in for a surprise. This is in a beach and is constructed by those who can walk only sideways! This is a cave whose entrance was not more than 1 cm.

Our maintenance crews had their work cut out for them digging out from a storm at the I-90 Ryegrass Rest Area.
Farmer was digging the ground when CC20152 hauled KA 159-Logawa Express,passing at Awar-Awar Village,Nganjuk.
Yesterday was that unusual day we get along about January some years, a day when it seems like nearly every bird we have that visits our yard decides to come visit at once. And on this day, we had a flock of ten or twelve Northern Cardinals working the feeder while the snow gently fell to the ground around them - multiple males and females alike. That's a treat in itself.
Along with the Cardinals, we had Blue Jays, House Finches, a Downy Woodpecker, a Red-bellied Woodpecker, Dark-eyed Juncos, the Carolina Wren, and a mix of Sparrows of course, all together for a period of about forty minutes. And all the while this was going on, a handful of Squirrels was playing tag among the birds in the trees out back.
