A trip to Gloucestershire, Plan A failed, Plan B failed so Plan C was to spend a few hours at WWT Slimbridge to rescue the day.
A Sparrowhawk flew low across the water to land on a fence post and then viewed its surroundings for 15 minutes before flying off.
Sparrowhawks are small birds of prey.
As a top predator, Sparrowhawks can only thrive if their prey is present in good numbers and has a healthy population.
The Canadian Pacific Navy unit #7022 leads train 149 up the Portal Subdivision just a few miles outside of Minot, North Dakota. Don't quote me I'm no mechanic, but it appears the turbo is beginning to fail as you could hear the clutch disengage and it would belch out thick black smoke for about 30 seconds and then run normal for a few miles before the cycle started over.
The Quiraing in the north of Skye is a fascinating and weird landscape. The Quiraing (Scottish Gaelic: Cuith-Raing) is a landform on the eastern face of Meall na Suiramach, the northernmost summit of the Trotternish escarpment on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. It takes the form of a craterous hollow surrounded by a high rampart of rock. Within the hollow is a raised plateau the size of a football field, known as the Table. Other distinctive features of the landscape are the Needle, a jagged pinnacle rising to 120 feet (37 m), and the Prison, a mass of rock resembling a medieval keep.
Like the rest of the Trotternish escarpment, the Quiraing was formed when a thick layer of flood basalt spread over the peninsula and destabilized the weak sedimentary rocks below, causing a succession of landslides. It has been renowned for its fantastical appearance since the Victorian period. The poet Alexander Smith dubbed it "a nightmare of nature".
There was evidence of landslips while I was there. One of the steep grassy slopes had slid right to the bottom leaving a patch of rich dark earth as if all the turf had been lifted for a football pitch. And there had obviously been a sizeable rock fall with debris obliterating the path along the escarpment. In places the path is just a notch cut into the hillside making me wonder if the weight of walkers might be enough to start it sliding down the hill. Perhaps more likely in wet weather. And in many places the worn path, perhaps barely a foot wide, narrowed to half that where one side had disappeared down the slope. It worried me a bit as I wandered along: do I worry about boulders crashing down from above or worry about the path collapsing below my feet? Oh well, I failed to spot any bodies down below, and I hadn't heard of any deaths at the Quiraing in the News. Mind you the News is full of so much other stuff these days it is quite likely such an event would be unreported.
Colorado Pacific Rio Grande (follow-on to the San Luis Rio Grande) runs a train from Alamosa, CO to Walsenburg via historic La Veta Pass on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Noting that a couple of the road's repainted ex-BNSF SD70MACs were "missing" from Alamosa earlier in the morning, I figured they'd be leading this train. Nope. Same ol' ex-CSX junk I'd seen on other internet sources. Nonetheless, the remains of earlier snow storms adds interest as the train approaches La Veta. The crew will work the siding there for a good 45 minutes before embarking on the 2.5 hr journey across the Pass at a nail-biting 10 mph.
I never did find the missing locomotives, but since two are reported to be destined for the ex-MoPac Towner Line, they could've been hiding out in Pueblo. Never saw them there either.
A failed attempt to drag out a smaller steam roller from the undergrowth - the rain had made the ground slippery and adding to the uphill gradient.......
Was a great demonstration but the persistent rain that started caused to me retire to the dry engine shed for a welcome mug of tea.

This is the same plane as my last pic. While I usually get the exposure right, that was not the case here. Besides: Everything was moving. Anyway: I sort of like the photo.
I'm between work and orchestra practice. Not only has my schedule not allowed me to do much more than work and sleep, there have been multiple crises within my family and friends over this past weekend.
I'm to the point where words fail me. Not because I am the one hurting, but because I'm watching others hurt.
I've little or no time to 'flickr' until Friday... please forgive.
I started with seeds from a rotting organic tomato. Seeds were healthy. Should’ve grown but after nearly a month this is the result. Clearly GMO not organic. I’ve purchased three organic vegetables for a test. I’ll be posting photos as the project progresses.

When you are trying to make the most of it to be a surprise but its just your luck ! I would blame it on my outfit? Merry... Oh no!!
Rien ne peut nous vaincre.
rien ne peut nous arrêter.
Nous seuls sommes un obstacle.
Restons ensemble.
Marchons, pas à pas sur ce chemin.
J'ignore ce que sera demain, Mais je peux déjà le construire maintenant.
Je ne marche plus seul, je le sais.
I'm in love with you, you silly thing
Anyone can see
What is it with you, you silly thing
Just take it from me
It was not a chance meeting
Feel my heart beating
You're the one
You could take all this, take it away
I'd still have it all
Cause I've climbed the tree of life
And that is why, no longer scared if I fall
When I get lost in space
I can return to this place
Cause, you're the one
Nothing fails
No more fears
Nothing fails
You washed away my tears
Nothing fails
No more fears
Nothing fails
Nothing fails
I'm not religious
But I feel so moved
Makes me want to pray,
Pray you'll always be here
I'm not religious
But I feel such love
Makes me want to pray
When I get lost in space
I can return to this place
Cause, you're the one
I'm not religious
But i feel so moved
Mmmm mmm...
I'm not religious
Makes me want to pray
I'm not religious
But i feel so moved
Makes me want to pray
Pray you'll always be here
I'm not religous
But i feel such love
makes me want to pray
I'm not religious (I'm not religious)
But I feel so moved (but it makes want to pray)
I'm not religious (I'm not religious)
Makes me want to pray (But it makes me want to pray)
I'm not religious (makes me want to)
But I feel so moved (pray)
I'm not religious (pray)
Makes me want to pray (pray)
Nothing fails

Madonna, Nothing fails
My resolution for the new year was to stop eating chocolate. I have failed miserably already. The more I try the more I want to eat it. This thing is gonna kill me.
Minha resolucao para o ano novo era parar de comer chocolate. Ja falhei miseravelmente. Quanto mais eu tento nao comer mais eu quero.
Esse vicio ira me matar.
I spent an embarrassingly large amount of time creating bubbles and having every one of them fail. My bubble solution needs to be remade because the bubbles die and pop very quickly but instead of pouring it out and starting with fresh, I kept going. I wanted to make it work and even though I was frustrated that they lost color and popped. I won't make that mistake tomorrow but need to use one of the images from today as a reminder that when things aren't working we should stop and fix them. I am not sure if you need to hear this message today too but if you know something isn't working instead of just powering through you will end up with better results and be happier if you fix the problem instead of just ignoring it and thinking it will go away. Learn from my failure... especially all of my grammatical errors.

8f class locomotive 48305 is seen on shed at Haworth 1940s weekend. The loco is in light steam as it had failed earlier in the day
This guy is sick of waiting to finally transform himself into a butterfly and be able to fly. Using some balloons he tries to take off from the ground and see the world from above ...
But obviously he miscalculated the correct size and number of balloons to get into the air. Try again or keep on waiting buddy! ;-)
I love Victoria sponge but somehow I just haven't mastered :( All this folding business and combining, I just chuck it all in and hope for the best!! Still tastes good though....

With arguably the working of the year, 37218 powers past what would become the Tarmac plant in Washwood Heath yard, leading 4M51 South Bank Tees Dock to Daventry. The tractor was brought in to assist after the Class 66 had failed earlier in the day. Going to this spot today, it would be hard to recognise from this photo.
Not deliberately water entered the camera. It was in vertical position and inclined upwards, with the weak part up.

A couple of miles west of the Giant's Causeway, at Runkerry Head, you can see hints of hexagonal basalt columns which didn't quite make it! (Or, have they been eroded by the sea?)
I ventured up this hill near my home for the first time a few months ago (spare time being the only upside to unemployment!) , and the words "In England's green and pleasant Land" from The famous choral song "Jerusalem" came to mind.
"And did those feet in ancient time" is a short poem by William Blake from the preface to his epic "Milton a Poem".
Today it is best known as the anthem "Jerusalem", with music written by Sir Hubert Parry in 1916. Although my musical taste has its roots in the late 60's early 70's, this anthem never fails to give me goose bumps, and stirs up the Brit in me!
What is probably less well known is that the man who adapted this prose (Sir Charles Hubert Hastings Parry) from Blake's original preface, into this wonderful song, lived at Highnam Court,(just outside Gloucester)which is about 4 miles from the hill where I took this photo.
I wonder if he walked these hills, and perhaps gained the inspiration from them to help him come up with the music to "Jerusalem". You never know?
