I received a private flickr mail to say I had made a mistake and Friday is always Flickr Happy Fence Friday or some such rubbish. Now I might have a bit of a reputation for thinking differently to the mainstream, apparently different to anyone else in the whole world, but I've always thought it was Fungus Friday. Sure that I wasn't wrong I entered " Happy Fungus Friday", I entered those three words in Flickr Search. Well, I felt vindicated to see there are one thousand, five hundred and twelve postings under those tags. So I'm not alone. Today is also called Happy Fungus Friday whether some people like it or not.
Having my faith in myself suitably restored I decided to see how many also people believe that snails hop. Again entering "snail hop" into flickr search I found 446 postings. Indeed, this is also significant proof, and no mere coincidence, that indeed snails do hop. Make sure you go out in the garden to see this magnificent sight.

El conjunto de los lagos de Covadonga (llamados Llagos de Cuadonga o Llagos d'Enol en asturiano) está formado por dos pequeños lagos, el Enol y el Ercina de origen glacial situados en la parte asturiana del Parque Nacional de los Picos de Europa, en el macizo occidental de dicha cadena montañosa. Existe un tercer lago, el Bricial, que sólo tiene agua durante el deshielo, pero también pertenece al conjunto. En Asturias son conocidos, simplemente, como Los Lagos.
Se sitúan en el concejo de Cangas de Onís y se accede a ellos a través de una carretera de 14 km que nace en el Real Sitio de Covadonga para llegar en primer lugar al lago Enol. Su frecuente uso desde 1983 como final de etapa en la Vuelta ciclista a España ha popularizado internacionalmente el paraje.
La afluencia masiva de turistas, sobre todo aficionados al ciclismo, ha obligado a limitar el desarrollo de pruebas ciclistas en el entorno de Los Lagos. No obstante, la zona cuenta con una excelente infraestructura turística.
En las proximidades del lago Ercina, en Buferrera, hasta 1979 se explotaron minas de hierro, manganeso y mercurio.
El lago Enol es uno de los dos lagos que conforman el conjunto conocido como Lagos de Covadonga, en Asturias, España. Se trata del más grande de los dos, quedando situado a unos 10 kilómetros de Covadonga y a unos 25 de Cangas de Onís.
Se encuentra situado a unos 1.070 metros de altitud, en el macizo occidental o del Cornión (Picos de Europa), teniendo un calado máximo de unos 25 metros, con un máximo de longitud de 750 metros y una anchura de unos 400 metros.
Es un lago cuya formación es debida a la retirada de un frente glaciar, quedando la morrena frontal como cerrojo.
En el lago se encuentra sumergida una imagen de la virgen de Covadonga, que cada 8 de septiembre es elevada para sacarla en procesión.
Localización
Desde Cangas de Onís, y tomando la carretera AS-262 se llega, después de 10 km, al Santuario de Covadonga, que es donde realmente comienza la subida, a través de la CO-4.
Características
Desde el Santuario, la subida consta de 14 km, en los que se salva un desnivel de 962 m, lo que supone una pendiente media del 6,87 %. El tramo más duro se encuentra entre los km 7 y 9, en las zonas conocidas como La Huesera (una recta de 800 m con rampas de entre el 12 y el 15 %) y el Mirador de la Reina, con rampas que alcanzan el 14 y el 15% de desnivel.3
Historia
Lagos de Covadonga se ascendió por primera vez en la historia de la Vuelta ciclista a España en la edición de 1983, el 2 de mayo. En una etapa procedente de Aguilar de Campoo y en un día de lluvia y viento, el vencedor en su cima fue Marino Lejarreta, y el posterior vencedor de la carrera, Bernard Hinault, llegó a comparar este puerto con el mítico Alpe d'Huez, lo que le empezó a dar fama mundial. En los días previos a la carrera, debido a que estos lagos son también conocidos como Los lagos de Enol, los periodistas deportivos hicieron un juego de palabras ante la batalla que se avecinaba y los llamaron Los lagos de Hinault, nombre con el que serían conocidos desde entonces en el mundo ciclista. En 17 ocasiones la Vuelta ha tenido final de etapa en Los Lagos.

The Lakes of Covadonga (el. 1134 m.) are of two glacial lakes located on the region of Asturias, Spain. These lakes, often also called Lakes of Enol or simply Los Lagos, are Lake Enol and Lake Ercina located in the Picos de Europa range and they are the original center of the Picos de Europa National Park, created in 1918.
Vuelta a España
The road ascending from Covadonga to the lakes is a popular climb in professional road bicycle racing, having been used by Vuelta a España many times in the last 25 years.
Lagos de Covadonga is the most important climb in the modern history of the Vuelta. The road that leads to the lakes starts at Covadonga and is 12.6 kilometres long at an average gradient of 7.3% (height gain: 1056 m).[1] The most demanding section is La Huesera, 7 kilometres from the top of the climb, with an average gradient of 15% during 800 meters. It was featured for the first time in 1983 with the victory of Marino Lejarreta.

This little fella was all coiled up under my Oregano plant in the herb garden. He was probably about 12" long, so not big and not very intimidating. I'm a big scary human compared to this little guy.

Sinds 1 januari 2019 verzorgd LINEAS de tractie voor de eerder door onder andere DB Cargo en RRF gereden dolimetreinen die hun weg vinden tussen de steengroeve van Lhoist in Hermalle-Sous-Huy en Nedmag in Veendam. In principe worden deze treinen over hun gehele traject van tractie voorzien door een tweetal HLR77 waardoor we bij uitzondering onlangs al het tweetal geheel gehuisstijlde locs voor de trein vonden én fotografeerden. Echter het kan altijd nog iets beter!
Het gebeurde op 30 april 2019 nog maar voor de tweede keer dat de enige Class 66 in LINEAS livrei de taak kreeg de extra dolimetrein naar het noorden te rijden wat voor mij de logica betekende dat hij een dag later bij daglicht zuidwaarts zou rijden. Gezien ik de eerdere keer niet in de gelegenheid was de reis doordeweeks te maken werden nu alle zeilen bijgezet om dat nu wel voor elkaar te krijgen. Niet alleen immers is Class 66 zeer geliefd bij mij maar deze loc laat zich hoe dan ook vrij moeilijk pakken gezien de tijdstippen en dagen waarop hij meestal in actie komt.
Met nu wel de mogelijkheid op pad te gaan werd ondanks het grijze begin van de dag rekening gehouden met een eventueel zonnetje wat me in eerste instantie op de Paleisbrug in 's-Hertogenbosch bracht. Door een enorme kans op een tegentrein op het verkeerde moment en het feit dat het noodzakelijk zou zijn ietwat te groothoeken besloot ik alsnog de bewolkte Brabantse hoofdstad achter me te laten en koers te zetten naar het enige kilometers zuidelijker gelegen Vught.
Strak volgens schema passeert de LINEAS 513-10 met lege dolimetrein 47627 het pitorekse stationnetje en het tweetal fotografen in het 5 minuten eerder ontstane zongat. Zo bleek al snel was de verhuizing naar Vught een goede zet, was het al niet om een eventuele tegentrein dan was het wel om het feit dat het zeer waarschijnlijk grauw en grijs bleef op de eerder gekozen plaats. Iedere spoorliefhebber kent de talloze pogingen waarin iets niet helemaal mag lukken maar pogingen zoals deze maken dat soort momenten ruimschoots goed en motiveren vooral lekker door te hobbyen!

Kind of feel like I dropped the ball, the source description has it more at 'manta' but I can't seem to find a way to make extending the fuselage any further sideways look better, ugh.
edit: it's pretty funny how absolutely bad Explore is at picking images

Vediamo un po' cosa ci si potrebbe immaginare con questa foto:
"Le scarpe di flickr?"
"Flickr farà le scarpe a tutti?"
"Flickr lancia la moda delle scarpe bicolore"
"Flickr ispira i passi dei fotografi"
"Flickr porta a spasso i fotografi"
"Flickr, passo dopo passo"
... continuate voi =)))

Sorry not to be posting recently, but I have been coding up a Flickr photo mining tool I hope you will like. There's lots to do yet, but I think it's ready for a beta test:
What can you do right now?
Search and display photos, with thumbnails up to 250x250, by Tags, Text, Username, Recentness, or Explore.
Retrieve up to 500 results at a time - little or no paging, as long as your computer can deal with it and flickr doesn't revoke my API keys.
Todo list:
a) No authentication yet, so this will only find public photos. DONE
b) No searching of contacts or favorites yet. COMPLETE
c) I want to add a license filter you can retrieve only photos that offer certain license terms.COMPLETE
d) It will be easy to add intelligent reading of date formats people type in, but that's not there yet... COMPLETE
This tool is dedicated to AnnuskA Hjärta and her Flickritis.
Also thanks to Flickr Leech for inspiration.
Female Mallards hunkered down on snow, fog, and icicles poking their feet and feathers. About as shot. Wouldn't want to make it look all sunny and perky, right? Grateful for the chance to connect.
The power of feathers, perhaps.

Thanks for looking, although I don't blame you if you don't...
Aan het experimenteren met macro, licht en pse. Kijk daar is m'n opstellinkje :-) Als het niet duidelijk genoeg is kan dat komen door: -het niet al te goede point en shoot cameraatje -beetje te donker op de zolderkamer - de fotograaf of ..................................................het is bewust en je komt bij de volgende foto weer kijken of er meer details komen :-) LOL
A slightly blurred photo today. My cat says thank you very much for this week's topic. Everything is rolled around the room, dragged away or rolled under the closet. Or you just lie in the middle of it.
It was not possible to build something without him taking part.
So, made the best of it and just presented the little challenges when taking photos.
Please join the campaign, if you do not like the proposed new flickr layout.
Please download this picture and upload it to your stream on Sunday, January 5, 2014. You can also make your own picture with the text as seen in this picture ( or of similar nature, but make sure to emphasize the boycott ), in any language of your choice. Please circulate it and remember to upload it on Sunday, January 5, 2014 ( or before, if you know you'll be away on January 5 )

Beta feedback : Completed / Top ideas / Hot ideas
---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
Beta is a test preview of the change that is getting ready to be implemented soon. It can be for a limited group of flickr members, intended to seek feedback and correct faults ( if any), before it is made public.
Change is good and public has always welcomed good changes. The preference for Windows XP by most people even after the introduction of Vista is a classic example of public acceptance. The public liked and preferred the predecessor ( Windows XP ) and the follower ( Windows 7 and Windows 8 ) versions of Vista. A change is good and often gladly welcomed by public, if it provides more utilities and user friendliness, without depriving even a single advantage of the predecessor.
The Beta version is unacceptable to the majority of Flickr users* ( who happened to experience it ) , because it's not user friendly and has only disadvantages to mention. *Please check the Beta feedback : Completed / Top ideas / Hot ideas
The layout itself is a disaster. Please check : Try our new photo experience beta / Comment box
However they try, it's quite evident that it's impossible to provide more space for descriptions, comment box, and comments; not to mention comments with pictures , group invites / awards. The more they try to fix it, the more cumbersome it becomes. The buddy icons now appear as dots making the page more unaesthetic than what you see in the earlier pictures of beta . They are desperately trying to make it appealing and user friendly, which is literally impossible with the proposed layout .
It's a big challenge for the programmers to try find means to provide more space in a vertical column which is already cramped.
Is it possible to make a rugby stadium inside a 100 square feet ground ?
