in the country when the animals lay down or low to the ground rain is always on the way...they feel the humidity...
The storm glass says so, and so does the met office. About 3pm. No need for a jacket this morning 😊
Hmmm, annoying.
Rest day today. Forecast was relatively poor but better than the previous days.
I knew that the Dutch registered M.V. Eendracht had docked at Workington on Sunday. On board were the latest two Class 68s from Vossloh in Spain.
With gusty winds forecast I wasn't sure whether the unloading of 68018 & 019 would take place today and the fact that there was no STP in for a Kingmoor - Docks light-engine move convinced me that it wouldn't so I was just poncing about at home. By the time a gen' site had informed me that 68001 had already worked across to collect the newbies it was nigh on 11am before I floored it down there.
The previous arrivals were offloaded by a crane hired in specifically for the event and assembled on the day but the Eendracht has its own cranes and consequently both locos had been disembarked by the time I arrived.
Bugger!
Anyway, you can just about discern the three locos behind the catamarans which service the Robin Rigg wind farm.
The large crane left of centre was purchased for the lifting of containers.
Unfortunately anything more than a light breeze rendered it unusable and then the only container train to use the docks had its flow terminated rendering the machine somewhat of a white elephant.
Friday, 5 June 2020: our temperature late morning is 13C (windchill 12C). Sunrise is at 5:23 am, and sunset is at 9:46 pm. Bright and sunny so far today. Tomorrow and Sunday are forecast to be very different - rain and thunderstorms.
After finally getting to sleep around 2:30 am on the morning of 31 May, I was woken an hour later by a huge crash of thunder, along with some lightning and heavy rain. My alarm clocks had been set for 4:30 am, so I ended up with about an hour of sleep to last me the whole day for the annual May Species Count. There were just four of us covering this particular area, SW of the city, travelling in three cars. It worked out well, as it was easy to socially distance, especially as we were driving most of the time. At lunch time, we all sat in our own cars in the parking lot at Brown-Lowery Provincial Park.
When I first got up, I was really hoping that the rain would end, even if just for my drive on the highway to get to our meeting place. Thankfully, it did stop and even brightened just a little. I had planned to get there a few minutes early, so that I could check a favourite spot, knowing that the forecast was for more rain. I was thrilled to find five Wilson's Snipes perched on fence posts, waiting to be photographed : ) They are one of my absolute favourite birds to see and photograph.
Our total number of bird species seen is approximately 67 (waiting to be confirmed), though as usual, I did not see every species on the list. We had a great day, with such a mix of bird sizes and colours. The couple had brought along their spotting scope, too, which enabled us to see three very, very distant Bobolinks, down on the ground in a grassy field. A joy to see the straw-coloured patch on the back of the head.
Feeling so fortunate to be able to enjoy a day such as this, knowing what extreme and understandable pain and anger our neighbours south of the border are experiencing this week (not to mention for years).
Partially cloudy. -1° C / 30° F.
It's been tweaked in Photoshop, but the clouds are not photoshopped in, and my wallpaper really is blue.

My contacts must be getting a little tired of me talking about the weather, but what else do we have for a conversation in Minnesota. This morning the weather bureau has switched our storm watch to a storm warning. We are expected to pick up 7 to 10 more inches of snow this evening and on Sunday. Winds will increase on Monday blowing all the new snow. The only good thing is that it is slowing the melt down, severe flooding is still very much in the prediction.
The forecast was for a very pleasant afternoon in mid-March so we set up a small group shoot at a parking garage in downtown Boise. The weatherman lied. It was bitterly cold, windy, and then it snowed a bit. The poor models froze but toughed it out.
Andrea hates cold weather and it was tough to drag her out of her car. We alternated - 5 minutes shooting, 5 minutes warming up in the car, repeat. It ended up being a fun shoot - especially at the end where we shot in a stairwell - it wasn't heated but it was out of the wind. I think she is still talking to me!

With the imminent demise of HST's along the north Cotswold line and beyond to Hereford I have taken every opportunity avaialable to capture the last days.
43174 with 43022 on the rear head through very murky conditions on the approach to Ledbury tunnel on 5-2-19
Had it been sunny the shadows would have caused a problem at this time of year
The working was the final regular day time HST service, the 1W00 0821 London Paddington to Hereford operates by Great Western Railway
The last HST through to Hereford operated on the 15-2-19
The Malvern hills which are normally visible have disappeared from view due to the cloud and mist.
Horse Tower, Mexico City.
Strength and manliness. Sharp and well finished. The Horse Tower is one of the coolest buildings i saw in Mexico. Notice that there is a horse sculpture in the top right corner of the building; it gives a nice match detail with the one on the bottom.
There are four facing buildings on this street intersection, but this one takes all the credit.

The icelandic weather forecasters are good! When we arrived at the hotel in the aftermath of the storm, the prediction for any nightime activity was nil - the entire sky was overcast with sleet and drizzle. Strangely, it did show a small period of clear skies passing over our heads between 3am and 6am.
Given the weather for the following morning was meant to be pants, and the rest of the week wasn't looking stellar, I set the alarm and decided to have a look out of the window.
Sure enough, a small section of clear(ish) sky and some northern lights, so we packed up and headed to the nearest open space to see what we could get.
Out of everything, I think this was the best and we were just glad that we know we'd go home having seen them again. Then we went back to the hotel for a lie in while we waited for the rain to clear.

Well I was shooting fall colors in Zion National PArk when I saw that they had forecast snow for Bryce Canyon, so instead of heading back to LA, I headed out to Bryce Canyon! And I was treated to snow, sun, clouds, snowstorm, and then a glorious sunrise over the s-capped hoo-doos in Bryce! :)

With a decent day forecast decided to take an early morning run to Blandford Forum, Dorset. Well worth the trip. This mum and her two cubs were showing well on the river from 10ish through to 2. At times I couldn't believe how close they came to the bank and those that had gathered to watch them (I had expected it to be far busier and was pleasantly surprised at how easy going it all was) - on many occasions the whole family would surface to look directly at me from only 6 feet away. I had the camera down and just enjoyed the contact.
For this image I used some of the basic ideas I'd picked up in Scotland. Seeing which direction the otters were heading in I would get ahead of them and move further upstream. When I was a hundred yards or so ahead I then get down low with as much cover as possible and wait - with luck the group continued on their merry way and I was able to get these shots. This all being said these otters were so confident in human company that traditional field craft wasn't such a big deal.

Hearing the weather forecast about the cold front and a few more days of looming gloomy weather, we decided to savour the remaining hours of sunshine. We took a bubble stick and went for walk in the park with our camera.
The wind was quite strong before the storm, hence the bubble get blown out and did not have time to form a more spherical shape. They looked like transparent potatoes in the air!
One is never too old to play.............
Well, the weather forecast for Kananaskis for 24 September 2019 was not exactly accurate - sun, with cloud in the afternoon. They kind of forgot to mention the strong wind, light rain .... and SNOW! For a few minutes, it was one kind of weather, then a few more minutes of a different kind, repeated throughout the afternoon.
Our temperatures are falling - forecast for rain/light snow today, then three days of snow with temps down to around -1C. What a way to celebrate the first few days of fall. The expected snow will probably remove quite a few of the golden leaves, so I wanted anther chance to see and photograph them while I had the chance.
The sky was blue when I set out that morning and I felt quite hopeful. When I go to Kananaskis, I always go south from the city. I had no idea where I would be going, but I knew that it wouldn't be as far as I would have liked. As it turned out, I had a few surprises along the way, so it was a real mixed day of photo opportunities - my favourite kind of day.
After stopping to take a few scenic shots on the way to the main highway through Kananaskis, I eventually reached the area where the American Pikas live. I really lucked out almost straight away, as the only few photos I took were when one Pika showed itself, and that was within maybe ten minutes. By this time, the wind was strong and it was snowing, and it was cold! Time to get out of there, as the scree slope is treacherous enough on a calm, clear day.
Driving further north, I was delighted to see a convoy of maybe eight or ten beautiful old cars heading in my direction. Couldn't resist, so I followed them when they turned off into a small picnic area. I asked if I could take a few quick photos and they were happy enough for me to do that. One car owner did comment about blurry photos because of the falling snow, but surprisingly my photos came out sharp enough.
Further on, I made a quick stop at another pull-off and was happy to notice a few mushrooms. When I turned around to head for home, I was even happier. I pulled over to take a photo of one of the mountain peaks. One tiny white speck in the distance, just off the road, caught my eye. When I went to check it out, I found myself staring at a little group of Shaggy Mane/Inky Cap mushrooms. The largest one had already started the process of curling up the rim of its cap and dripping a black ink. So much rain this year has resulted in such an amazing fungi season.
Much closer to home, I decided to take a side road that has such beautiful hill and mountain views. An old wooden barn was a welcome surprise - I don't remember seeing this one before.
So, a lovely day out, driving 320 km, with such a mixture of weather and sightings. So glad I did decide to go - as usual, a very last minute decision, but basically, I just need to grab my cameras and go : )
Bird migration forecast maps show predicted nocturnal migration 3 hours after local sunset and are updated every 6 hours. Colorado State University and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology currently produce these forecasts.
A new kind of style and I´m very happy to try something new :)

The weather forecast for 2 September 2017 virtually promised wall to wall sunshine in south-west Wales during the day before clouding over and heavy rain overnight, well, they got that wrong as it clouded over mid -morning. Unfortunately, this change of weather (typical for railway photography) somewhat spoiled the hoped-for shot of two brightly coloured locomotives on an enthusiasts excursion in this area.
The Branch Line Society in association with West Coast Railways organised the '565 Special' and it ran as 1Z56, the 05.35 Carnforth to Carmarthen (via Crewe, Chester, Shrewsbury, Newport and Cockett). From Crewe two Colas Class 37s numbered 37254 'Cardiff Canton' and 37175 provided motive power, the consist is seen at Kidwelly (between Llanelli and Carmarthen) crossing the Gwendraeth Fach river.
Of interest is that the two Class 37s both started their railway life allocated to Cardiff Canton diesel depot (86A), 37254 being known than as D6954 and 37175 as D6875. 37254 was named in honour of its former depot in April 2017.

I have a few of these Atomic Clocks around the house and do like having the time, indoor and outdoor temperatures displayed all at the same time. I also like that they change on their own, no more taking them off the wall and fiddling with the little buttons on the back.

We should be well into the 80's if not 90's at this point.
Not that I'm complaining but the highs in the mid 60's the past couple of days do seem just a little bit odd!
