Been in the Kalahari for a week now and this is the first time I have managed to get the internet to work, it's really pretty bad. Been really busy training but managed to take my camera out a few times. Hopefully I can upload some more and maybe even get a blog post sometime soon.

First York 39520 not in service heading into town. 25th March 2021.
The first geese of the season arrived in Fairbanks this year on March 29. It's the earliest arrival time on record. Some in the group might think it was a poor decision.
first snow of the year !! i have shot this tree alot but have never gotten anything as good as this so gonna post it and keep working on this tree .
Back in Fontainebleau after years away and delighted to see our favourite patisseries are still doing fine and still absolutely delicious. I'm going to gain 50kg on this trip...
I left Fort Bragg before sunrise and pointed the car north on Highway 1 along the California coast. I reached the town of Westport at first light. Just north of town I pulled over along a stretch of shoreline and headed down to the water. As the darkness lifted I was confronted with this Zen-like scene. It pays to get up early.

First flight.
I came across tree swallows fluttering around a nest box making a lot of noise. Suddenly a young swallow launched itself from the box and flew unsteadily around the box. Four times it tried unsuccessfully to land on the box, but on its fifth attempt it made a very clumsy landing. Mom, dad and even its siblings were all very excited.
The young swallow had apparently had enough excitement so after resting for some time it somehow managed to get itself back into the nesting box.

➣ Great Blue Heron paused on the Rivière des Prairies in Montreal North. The adult Great Blue Heron is more than one meter long and weighs approximately 2.5 kg. Always fascinating to see a Great Heron catch a fish with such ease in such a turbulent river.
➣ Grand Héron en pause sur la Rivière Des Prairies à Montréal-Nord. Le Grand Héron adulte mesure plus d’un mètre avec le cou allongé et il pèse environ 2,5 kg. Toujours fascinant de voir un Grand Héron attraper un poisson avec autant de facilité dans une rivière aussi turbulente.
➣ Una Ardea herodias pausa en el Rivière des Prairies en Montreal North. El adulto mide más de un metro de largo y pesa aproximadamente 2,5 kg. Siempre es fascinante ver a una Gran Garza atrapar un pez con tanta facilidad en un río tan turbulento.
Not the best of shots, but my first of one of these in Daventry for a good many months. First Leicester 33728 (SN12 ALO) is seen along Prospect Way, Daventry, with an inbound BHX3 service to Amazon. 27th March 2023
In my own mind I have no doubt that we would have summited if we continued. The weather at that point was as good as we could have expected albeit a little breezy and cool. With the forecast for bad weather and strong winds 'later in the day' whatever that really means, would we make it out?
The descent was more the issue for me than the ascent. None of us had been here before and looking down on the ridge that we were to descend was, to be quite honest, pretty daunting. Is this the sort of descent that we would risk doing in bad weather? No thanks.
The ropes attached and packs lifted we took our first steps away from the summit. I felt a certain emptiness. So here we were, the three of us, heading down a steep ridge toward a sea of cloud waiting below.
The ridge though was a pretty exciting view. I couldn't believe that was our path out. Ion was off without a hint of hesitation. This was his element. The Romanian cowboy seemed well at home on this rock and snow ridge and with confidence started the descent. I was nervous but still excited at the route. The drop on either side of this ridge was...well, check out the photo!
From my hometown I can clearly see the whole mountain chain of the Alps, with their foothills in front of them. Yesterday I found them whitened by the first fresh snow of the season. Winter is coming. We must prepare ourselves, my dog and I.

Ponce de Leon claimed Florida for Spain in 1513. (Christopher Columbus discovered North America in 1492 but actually landed in the Bahamas). Other Spanish explorers later found gold and silver in Mexico and Peru. The treasure was sent back to Spain in ships sailing in the Gulf Stream. Spanish settlements needed to be built in Florida to protect the Spanish Treasure fleets. King Phillip II of Spain sent Pedro Menendez to settle in Florida and drive out French garrisons recently established there. In September 1565, Pedro Menendez with 700 soldiers and colonists landed 'here' and founded St. Augustine making it the oldest continually occupied European settlement in North America ~ Saint Augustine Inlet
