The bee is going for all she's got to get to that sweet nectar at the bottom of this petunia getting covered in pollen.
Over a foot and half of snow and bone chilling temps. 5* all day yesterday and I walked to the mail box and fed the birds...........that's it.
Been looking through the archives. What an emotional journey! Anyway, here is an image I processed several years ago and I for some reason didn’t feel it was up to the mark. Well today I do! Enjoy!
Old, photography, nostalgia, blar blar blar!

The pair of 567's are humming while WSOR 4492 and 2002 are pulling for all their worth, as we climb the steep grade out of Utley on the Markesan sub with a full pull from Delmonte and Badger Mining on this fine summer afternoon.

Lower Saxony - Göhrde
The Göhrde is the largest contiguous mixed forest area in northern Germany. Here you can get to know a natural area that is unique in its own special way. The Göhrde state forest is an impressive woodland area and its core areas are covered with very old trees.
Also known for the Göhrde murders.
It used to be the hunting ground of the Dukes of Brunswick and Lüneberg and later, the Kings of Hanover and the German Emperor. At the time of the murders the forest stood close to West Germany's border with East Germany.
Also the E6 is on the route.
The E6 European long-distance hiking trail is part of the European hiking trail network and runs from Kilpisjärvi in north-western Finland to the Dardanelles in Turkey. The total length is 6030 kilometers.

This is how we were affected by the swell,the odd bit of water coming onboard and obviously our speed was right down.
FYI we are 60 metres wide and at the time our draft was 22.0 metres
Pileated Woodpecker digging into an old log for grubs. He carved some pretty decent holes very quick and was rewarded with some tasty bites.
Our friend here is sat on the wall of the excellent allotments in Bramham village encouraging us to dig for victory against this horrible virus. More homegrown food the less time we spend in the shops.
Stay safe and be alert my friends
Bramham is a village in the civil parish of Bramham cum Oglethorpe, West Yorkshire, England
Bramham is at the crossroads of the east-west Roman road from York through Tadcaster to Ilkley and the north-south Great North Road, now the A1 road, giving it a history that goes back to the Romans

This is from back in the day when there was plenty of activity down in the open cast pit at Fuxin. But the bucket shovels were searching for seams of coal that were already running out.
I detect there is a narrow gauge electric line at the top of the picture. I guess that’s the track running to the depot on the south side of the pit, but how did it fit in with the grand scheme of things.
The big electric loco was bringing the coal up to the rim for use in the local power station.

The Batten Kill is a truly a time warp, and if you're lucky enough to spend anytime along the line when they are operating you will feel like you have been transported back a half century or more.
Here is one such example. No ditch lights, ptc antennas, high viz vests or any other signatures of modern railroading are visible. Here is an Alco RS3 blt. in Sept 1952 on home rails paused beside a 1909 built ex Delaware and Hudson passenger station. This is MP A136.9 on the old D&H Washington Branch and BKRR 4116 has paused just north of the Main Street crossing so engineer and railroad president and owner Bill Taber seen here could get down with shovel in hand to help clear some ice and snow before pushing through a four foot high berm as he and his hardy little crew work to open the railroad after the epic three feet of snow that was dumped on Washington County and much of the northeast.

A juvenile grey butcherbird came to perch close by me when I was gardening, early one morning.
It stayed there for such a long time, watching me and probably looking for any unearthed grubs and bugs that my digging had produced.
It was great to work in the company of this little character.
Butcherbirds are named for their fascinating way of feeding. Once prey is captured, the butcherbird hangs it off a branch or tree fork, and hacks at it, just like a butcher.
It also hangs uneaten food in the fork of a branch or impaled on a twig and will then return to eat the leftovers later.
Grey butcherbird song is a sound synonymous and strongly connected with life here in Australia.
Cracticus torquatus, 25 cm body length.
