Today is my birthday and to say I'm unwell is a bit of an understatement. I have 2 of the children home ill as well as an ill husband. So thought I would have a little look through my archives and this is what I found. I hope you all like it x

mileage 23
because my tire and odometer are being changed, I will be back to '0' on the next ride so remember this number, 87. I'll call this the pre-season and tack that mileage on at the end of the season.
But until it warms up again, I'll be picking up sticks.

"Down on the left a busy little digging mechanism had come into view, emitting jets of green vapour and working its way round the pit, excavating and embanking in a methodical and discriminating manner. This it was which had caused the regular beating noise, and the rhythmic shocks that had kept our ruinous refuge quivering. It piped and whistled as it worked. So far as I could see, the thing was without a directing Martian at all..."

Digging up old photos during this COVID lockdown. Another photo of the common kestrel hunting for prey. He was quick to jump, but this time he didn't find anything. He dug up the ground lightly and put his beak pulling up some plants, but nothing to eat!
Thanks in advance for your views / comments. Much appreciated.
This image is not a photographic marvel, but might be of interest for those in other climates. This shows conditions today, Feb 13 2019. The storm wan't quite as major as predicted, but the driveway had already been plowed once and still needs more clearing. It is garbage day, so we are clearing a path to the sidewalk. We are also trying to dig into the snowbank behind Sue as the plow keeps taking less and less of it, thus narrowing the driveway. Neighbours later brought their snowblowers around and cleared the rest of the driveway for us. People tend to get more neighbourly after a storm than at any other time.

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.
Shot of Carré grinning (probably because I am hysterical) up at the blog: blog.louobedlam.com/post/60111487/as-you-may-or-may-not-k...

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.
