After many years of visiting Anglesey I was beginning to think that the claim of Red Squirrels on the island was a tourist marketing ploy.
But no, they do actually exist and finally got a shot to prove it! It isn't my finest shot but hey, it'll do.
Good morning guys! Today is a big day because finally we reveal you our Lego® Ideas project we worked on since January! 🌟🌟🌟
Help us to make this idea real, supporting this project here! 😍
This project features a highly detailed replica of the iconic 1968 Fiat 500 F! Produced from 1957 to 1975 the Cinquecento is considered one of the first real city cars.
Consisting of 1157 pieces (all add-ons included) this model would be the ultimate for any fan of the Italian legend and definitely a great addition to any Lego collection.
This is a collaboration between saabfan and me

Good morning everyone. And as the title indicates, I finally got some pics of a Red-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta Canadensis). Been a long time coming since I first spotted one a little over a month ago.
The day this was taken three appeared, but only briefly together. Plus with the colder temps they are now visiting daily. But you need to be there at the right time with camera in-hand when they do. Plus very patient as they are hyper little birds and rarely ever sit still for long.
Just two pics of the same bird on different tree limbs, of which the second one can be found in the comment section and my stream. And while it's difficult to differentiate between gender, I'm pretty sure this is a male.
Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you have a truly great day and weekend.

Bee's wig finally came too! I LOVE how she looks in it! She looks so adorable in the golden colour. She has to be my favourite dal <3
This summer I finally had a chance to see some puffins in real life on the island of Hornøya on the east coast of northern Norway. It had been on my bucketlist for a while already.
Honestly, I expected these cute birds to be the size of a big sturdy chicken, but to my surprise they were the size of little bantams instead. Aww :)
Eventhough they look kind of quirky in resting mode, it was impressive to see these birds in action. They are so incredibly fast, diving from the rocks and soaring across the sea. They can even swim underwater, 100% adapted to this particular environment.
I saw some razorbills, guillemots and large cormorants on this island as well. It was wonderful to see their feathers up clothes.
At first, I wasn't sure how I would feel about invading their space, but luckily it didn't seem to bother them too much. Obviously they see people all the time. A strange situation, but wow, what an experience!
It was there!
From my trip to the Sunshine Coast, this was taken at Kings Beach.
Note the rocks are very slippery here, I went down 3 times, I didn't find it too funny but a few people on the cliff behind me did! :-)
Photo is 6 exposures tonemapped in Photomatix.
Did some shading, unmask sharpening and saturation in PS.
Finally had a chance to explore the beautiful Elysium Sim. Well worth the venture, and a lovely place for some photography.
Mons
Nouvelle gare | New station
Située à proximité du centre de la ville de Mons, la gare fut mise en service en 1841 par les Chemins de fer de l'État belge et reconstruite à trois reprises depuis lors.
Le troisième bâtiment, qui datait de 1952, a été démoli en 2013 puis est progressivement remplacé par une nouvelle gare, conçue par l'architecte Santiago Calatrava ; le budget, prévu à 37 millions d'euros en 2006, atteint 480 millions en 2024 (en fin de chantier), soit 13 fois le montant initial.
En août 2023, la fin des travaux de la nouvelle gare (prévue à l'origine pour début 2015) est annoncée pour février 2024. En mai 2024, le chantier « touche à sa fin». La nouvelle gare a finalement été mise en service le 18 décembre 2024 et sera inaugurée le 31 janvier 2025.

---------------
Located near the centre of the city of Mons, the station was opened in 1841 by the Belgian State Railways and has been rebuilt three times since then.
The third building, which dated from 1952, was demolished in 2013 to be gradually replaced by a new station, designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava; the budget, planned at 37 million euros in 2006, reached 480 million in 2024 (at the end of the construction), i.e. 13 times the initial amount.
In August 2023, the end of the work on the new station (originally planned for early 2015) was announced for February 2024. In May 2024, the construction site "neared its end".
The new station was finally opened on 18 December 2024 and will be inaugurated on 31 January 2025.
Finally now posting pics from May, starting with 43272 at North Staffs junction. Working was the 3Q52 2356 Doncaster West Yard - Derby RTC test train via Sheffield, Stockport & Chester 1/5/25.
After having to wait for over 2 hours for a conductor to finally arrive, CSX L810 departs Cedartown after working GEO Specialty Chemicals, as seen here as they cross the diamond with Norfolk Southern’s Cedartown District. The reason for the massive delay is a bit unique to this line. Due to union agreements, because this subdivision is former SCL territory & the crews for it would have been based out of Birmingham back when it the whole line between Birmingham & Atlanta was still connected, this local is still manned by “SCL crews” that are based out of Birmingham, even though Cartersville is the official on duty-off duty location. Normally, this isn’t much of a fuss in part because the regular guys that hold it live fairly close & CSX gives whoever works it an extra $100-plus per day for working it as travel reimbursement essentially. This week, however, the regular conductor that holds it was on vacation, so they were having to pull from the extra board for conductors & on this day, they weren’t able to finally get a conductor out of Birmingham to Cartersville until sometime after 9am. This was annoying for me since I had to be at work that afternoon, thus resulting in a short chase for me, but at least a bunch of others had the chance to get it as a result of its late departure. 10-12-23
Been chasing this guy for months but he's always been too far, even with my telephoto. Finally, as I walked out the door to the deck, there he was, as close as he's ever been on a bush branch, seemingly ready for his close up.

Finally we made to South Queensferry in time for the sunset... it was calm with no wind, there was patchy mist passing by.. only the long waited sunset did not come - it just went dark...
I've edited the image using Hipstamatic, I was messing around with the app and was quite pleased with the result so thought I'd share it.
The original image is a screenshot from www.qwertee.com.
It's a t-shirt i bought a while ago, I think it's a corker!
We finally got to visit the windmill which is one of the biggest in Norfolk. It is quite difficult to get to as there is no road and unless you have a boat which we don't it is a six mile round trip walk although there is a tiny railway request stop fairly nearby. I was really impressed by the size of the mill so it was well worth the walk.

This is the culmination of well over a year’s worth of work: I think I started this project a little after the UCS Republic Gunship was released. So it feels good to finally have this finished and show it off!
I strived to make an accurate, studless version of the ship which incorporated some of the discoloured panels like the UCS version. I used the reference material collected from Star Wars Episode 2, 3 and Battlefront II.
Over the course of this project, a few outstanding Gunships emerged in the LEGO Star Wars community, which was both inspiring and slightly disheartening as they set the bar for MOCs of this vehicle incredibly high! Bousker made an excellent Clone Wars version and you may see some similarities between mine and Jhae's. Though we came to the solution of using the grated cheese slopes independently, his design helped inform some of the internal structure and the bed of the troop compartment.
I also looked to atlasr's version for inspiration, which while digital and at a slightly larger scale than I was aiming for, is perhaps the most accurate LEGO version I’ve ever seen.
Massive thanks to all the dudes for their inspiration, encouragement, feedback, and numerous ideas which I stole, you know who you are!
I have not been out with the camera for weeks due to the grim weather at the weekends and the fact I have been decorating and too knackered at the end of the day to muster up the energy to go snapping!
Anyway the weather has been superb this Bank holiday weekend so as the conditions looked good yesterday visited my favourite location to capture sunsets, Langstone Harbour, Hayling Island, Hampshire and was treated to this wonderful display of colour!
This was the first time this summer that I have visited this location to find that the sea was calm to provide some decent reflections - it was a real pleasure to watch this beautiful sunset develop!

Thanks for any comments you may wish to leave.
For the past several years, I have hoped to get a full on frontal photograph of the Lover's Lane Falls located in the Olympic National Park.
I finally did.
My kids and I tromped through some very heavy underbrush to get this particular angle that you see above. I had hoped to repel down (probably fall, breaking bones!) to the base of the falls, but thought better of this idea based on the steepness of the gorge. It is possible with perhaps more than just a rope. More planning is needed!
We had a wonderful day in the Sol Duc forest and as always, were grateful for each others good company :)
