Old Dark Grey Universal Carrier Mk. II. The first of several vehicles that will be part of my small WW II Canadian force.
100% free built (no instructions) with heavy design credit to Dan Siskind (Brickmania) for the overall size, dimensions and general exterior. Additional part credit use to Captain Eugene for his ingenious idea of using lego ski's as fenders.
Additional notes about this project:
Built this as a test/ prototype to work out detail ideas with the intentions of building 3 total. Each carrier will come with a custom built Bren machine gun along with additional appropriate armament (Vickers MG, etc) along with various stowage configurations. Dark Bley Brickarms U-Clips are temporary and will be replaced with Gunmetal clips.
Better quality pictures will be posted once final version (with stowage and permanent weapons) is completed.
MANY THANKS FOR YOUR KIND COMMENTS AND FAVS........ PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT MY PHOTOSTREAM, FOR GENERAL PHOTOS OF NATURE ACROSS THE SPECTRUM OF WILDLIFE.
Found throughout Europe and into Asia, as far as northwestern China, this large damselfly (calopheryx splendens) can be seen each year from May to the end of August, fluttering gracefully along the margins of slow moving water, such as rivers and streams, particularly where there is lush vegetation.
With translucent wings and iridescent colours, blue in the male and green/bronze in the female, they may look beautiful, but like all damselflies, are predators of other insects, which they takes on the wing.
Males are territorial and to attract female, perform aerial displays. The female lays her eggs beneath the surface of the water, and is able to submerge herself, if necessary, using air trapped between her wings to breathe.
They prefer water bodies with muddy bottoms, where larvae thrive, hunting prey over a period of two years, before emerging as adults.
For half an hour or so, starting an hour after sunset, the clouds became very wispy and gave me the impression of a charcoal drawing.

Thanks for looking!
Literally the only drawing I’ve done that I’m actually proud of. It was a gift for a good friend that I looked up to as an artist.
I love doujin... big secret I know. I wanted to try seeing if I could draw a doujin cover page using her character. 25 hours of sweat and frustration later thisnis the result. It’s not often I finish my work especially if line art is involved as I don’t do lines or anatomy very well but I think the desire to impress and make her happy really pushed me to do this. She is the reason I tried to become an artist after all!
Looking back now there is an ungodly amount of anatomy errors LOL but I’m still happy with it more so the fact that I finished it and didn’t throw it away or give up. Thanks Oouna for everything you’ve done to inspire me!
This drawing is old as hell but figured I’d share it on here since people seem to like my “art”
Done for EXPLORE Worthy - REMIX THIS PIX 17 (2019 Art).
I used this image by Cathy Labudak

I often wonder what life will have in store for my boys, all I wish for them is to live life to the full and I hope with all my heart that they will have a happy life.
I bribed Harry to be a hand model for me here...he was promised that he could take a shot of his Teddy sheila when I had done...hehe he made me hold her like he'd held the paper for me, which I did without any moaning "have you done yet...this is the last shot" hehehe.
You can find Harry's Teddy pic in the comments below.
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord

Thanks so much Frank for this beautiful poem.

Happy Halloween!

For Smile on Saturday
Theme: In Spooky Company
Twice upon a time
In the valley of the tears
The auctioneer is bidding
For a box of fading years
And the elephants are dancing
On the graves of squealing mice
Anyone for tennis?
Wouldn't that be nice?...

Shooting has been incredible lately. I feel like there is a new force pushing me along. It is overcast today so I'll be out shooting for most of it, and I can't wait. I've never felt so motivated to pick up my camera and click.
Over a year ago I did a photo using fake snow, and I said to myself that i'd never use fake snow again in place of fake cobweb...but when it came down to it, I had a ton of fake snow this year (I was trying to emulate the christmas spirit as seen in Pennsylvania) so I had to put it to use :)

love love lovemy Toms shoes. It was nice today, not too hot but warm enough for shorts :) My dad just put up our hammock for the summer so I took advantage of that.
Rarely do I see Rooks posted online by wildlife photographers because they are common. But for me they are one of the most interesting birds we have in the UK.
Waiting for some birds to show up.

A visual tribute to the sparks that he threw into the air from the bandstand. And a thanks to Dr. Daniels for his Lester Leaps in biography.
I like walking for exercise both with and without my sticks.These are the boots I use in the winter. Luckily I live in a country where you can walk wherever you like, not just on special footpaths. The law gives you the right of way everywhere except on land next to somebody's house. You can also pick flowers, berries and mushrooms in the wild.

Headed for town, near Singapore River, yesterday hoping that I meet up with the White Bellied Sea Eagle who dives for his fish around 3 pm. Waited for 2 hrs and no show. So I started to shoot Beautiful People from where I was sitting on the floor.
Thank you my friends for popping by.
I really appreciate your visits, comments & favourites.
Wishing all my Flickr friends a Beautiful Day
Take care and stay safe everyone

My entry for the LUGNuts "Fire and Ice" challenge. A rescue truck used predominantly in the winter for ice rescue missions, but the tracks can be replace with wheels to become the station's swift water rescue.

You know what they say!
A new broom sweeps clean, but the old brush knows all the corners?
'A new broom sweeps clean' means that someone with a new perspective can make great changes. However, the full version is 'a new broom sweeps clean, but an old brush knows the corners', which warns that experience is also a valuable thing.
I could NOT walk past this, it was begging to be photographed!

Iowa Northern Railway train BUWA has IANR 4100, 3809, 3802, and 3803 for power on this December Sunday to make the run from Butler Yard near Shell Rock, Iowa to Bryant Yard in Waterloo. The train had 75 cars out of Butler, but have brought the head 15 into the CN Waterloo Yard for interchange. In the background EJE 667, still in orange, is paused in between it's duties as the yard switch engine, and a few other motors are laying around at the engine facility including EJE 658 in CN paint.
The CN is in the process of purchasing the IANR but is still awaiting STB approval, and so this is perhaps a bit of a look into the future. Meanwhile the past is well represented in this view too, as the Illinois Central Roundhouse here in the background has been present in at least in some form, (it's had stalls added and removed over the years) back to as far as 1901 (and possibly longer, it was hard to pin down a good date for the roundhouse construction from just some quick online research).
The Iowa Northern Railway uses the CN Mainline in Waterloo and Cedar Falls for a few miles from Waterloo West to Cedar Falls Junction as part of an arrangement going back to the 1980s and a highway project that saw the consolidation of some lines in Waterloo to make room for US 218. Normally from what I've seen the interchange work is typically done by the IANR in either direction at some siding tracks just west of Waterloo West and so they don't come into the yard like this. But occasionally when traffic warrants the CN will have the IANR come directly into the "A Yard" here at the Waterloo Terminal to make their setout and pickup as seen here. They would tie onto a cut of cars and shove back out of the yard to the rest of their train waiting on the mainline.
I had gone out after this BUWA even though it was likely to be a cloudy day because IANR 4100 on the point is one of the road's newest units (arrived to the IANR in August 2023 per some online notes, though it's originally a C&O unit) and still looks pretty sharp. But it was a nice bonus to get them making this less-common move, and this angle normally would be a heavily backlit-view if the sun were present.

“The freedom of birds is an insult to me.”
― Cormac McCarthy
I hate envy. It is evil and I truly thank God that I've never envied others in my life BUT I sometimes tend to envy the birds or let say wish I have their capacity to fly high and to fly freely...to swim in the air and to let its power carry me aimlessly. I believe freedom is the most precious gift man can ask God for and though it comes in many kinds and forms, the core remains the same. Still, it is always relative as long as we as we are here on earth.
This is an old photograph that I took last year when I noticed a red batman-shaped kite in the sky.
Sorry but I've been extremely busy over the last couple of days. I'll do my best to catch up.
Honestly wishing you all a very blessed holidays...
Merry Christmas to all of you in advance!
I'm dedicating these next four photographs to one of Australia's greatest poets: Gwen Harwood. Gwen would have been 100 years old this year, and very few poetry books have made the impression on me that her last, "The Present Tense" (1995) has.
adb.anu.edu.au/biography/harwood-gwendoline-nessie-gwen-2...
Gwen was born in Queensland, but moved to Tasmania in 1945. She ended up settling in the beautiful little southern town of Kettering, a gateway to the wonderful Bruny Island. Her husband Bill built boats and Gwen went fishing, kept poultry, and wrote some of her finest poems.
When she died at 75 (from breast cancer) her friend Dr Norman Talbot described Gwen Harwood this way:
"She is the finest poet Australia has ever had in terms of range and the mixture of sensitivity and wit. Gwen Harwood, in fact, was one of the wittiest and bravest of all the Australian poets. And technically she had everything you could possibly ask a poet to be."
Facing death was something Gwen accepted with courage. As Dr Talbot said, "She was ready to die but she was damn sure she wasn't going to do it any earlier than she had to. She was a great hero, that lady."
And indeed you were Gwen. And you still inspire today with your grasp of time, history and eternity.
And also for others who are suffering the effects of a Nor'Easter on the U.S. Atlantic coast, and gloomy weather anywhere.
I took this at the entrance to the soccer field where there are banks of these roses lining the fence and going up the sidewalk to the upper fields.
California may have earthquakes, devastating fires and crazy governing but it also has roses all year round.
