The weather forecast all week had pointed to a good weekend, so my son & I planned a (long) daytrip to the Trossachs.
Our plan was to walk the Meall nan Tarmachan ridge: a circular route taking in the Munro of Meall nan Tarmachan.
But as can be seen from the shot (& the title), the weather didn't quite work out as we had hoped, with the cloud level stubbornly sticking around the 500-600m level. Thus we curtailed the plan to a sometimes soggy there and back up Meall nan Tarmachan (see shot in comments for 'visibility at the summit!).

After taking this shot i realised that the sign actually looks like an abstract painting of the landscape. Well, sort of.
Shot is taken at sunset in the forelands of the river IJssel near Olst.
The forecast was for wind and rain so I picked the last few of my sunflowers and brought them indoors. As it was Sunday I played with them - HSS!
Thanks to pareeerica for the texture
Camera had a mind of its own this morning. I thought I was on 1/1000th not 1/100th. Batteries were fading and then the bird flew the coop. Some days....
The winter winds are forecast to sweep down and bring frost and even snow in the next few days, so we caught the fleeting sunshine at Fyvie Castle this morning.

I didn't expect to take any photo's on this day as the rain was heavy and the monotone sky lacked drama. Thankfully the weather improved mid afternoon. The light produced looked amazing.

With parts of the East Midlands battered by heavy snowfall on the Sunday afternoon and a minty Monday morning forecast, a local move was made to capture 60100 "Midland Railway-Butterley" with traces of snow and icicles on the front end passing Lockington with the 6m57 Lindsey-Kingsbury tanks.
I'm stuck indoors today, so here's one from the archives that I've just rediscovered. It shows the beautiful Konik ponies at my favourite nature reserve. It repays a viewing in large screen if you have the time.
The weather forecast today said wall to wall sun, no cloud, for the area I needed to go.. So I thought I would go out and hunt down some of these. Can anyone please explain why I spent four hours in a freezing cold mist that wasn't forecast. How could they be so WRONG???
Archive shot.
Thank you for looking at my images. It's much appreciated
A showery forecast took me up Derwent to the Salt Cellar. I've been here many times but never photographed it. The heather is on its way out but it's a lovely place. Some very heavy showers had me crouching under some of the rocks nearby. I didn't bother waiting around for sunset as the sky cleared, much prefer this type of weather.
Slight morning fog, remnants of yesterdays fire, some clouds and sunny spells, and many more bombs are expected in Aleppo.
Today's Forecast: Blistering Heat and Bone-Dry! Chances of this dry stream bed filling with water: Less than nil.
I had the questionably good fortune of spending a night camping in my vehicle in this foreboding and forsaken landscape. Nothing stirred during the day (except I did spot a lizard). After sunset, however, the desert came to life. I heard various types of critters making noises throughout a rather sleepless night.

Ambition and an MSC cruise ship in harbour in St Georges, Granada. Through the morning rain clouds came over with more rain in the afternoon as well.
The weather forecast was unsettled today with the hope of some sunlight breaking through, I never expected what actually unfolded in front of me.
These hills commonly nicknamed the Dragon's Back are the remains of a limestone reef knoll eroded by the ice sheets that covered this area.

Weather Network {360} Backdrop
Good evening, residents.
Today’s forecast across the grid shows scattered roleplay storms in the medieval regions, heavy shopping showers at the latest events, and a strong wave of creativity moving through the artistic sims.
Travel advisory: teleport delays possible during peak hours.
Fashion pressure remains high, and there’s a 90% chance of dramatic entrances after sunset.
This has been your Second Life Weather Network ,where imagination sets the climate.
It's a preview of winter, nothing more. On October 23rd we woke to snow - not unheard of, but definitely a shock, considering that only six weeks earlier we were baking in the last heat wave of summer, with temperatures in the high 90s Fahrenheit. It can change fast on the prairie.
My neighbour has some crabapple trees on his property, growing in a sheltered spot, and I know that migrating songbirds often stop here on their way south. Sure enough, the action was nonstop. American Robins, White-throated Sparrows, Dark-eyed Juncos, Bohemian Waxwings, and at least one Blue Jay competed for the frozen fruit. All I had to do was stand there and try to keep my hands warm and dry (impossible).
It all melted within a few days; this was just a taste. The last fall colour in the trees, seen here behind the robin, was gone. Some of those leaves may have become mulch for the garlic I planted (garlic needs to over-winter to produce big bulbs). My car is set, with four new studded snow tires. I have nailed my kitchen window closed for the winter (don't ask). This morning I found my winter boots. The weather forecast is calling for a major snowfall, beginning today (November 7). This time it won't melt. Most of the robins - many of which hatched right here in May and June - have departed. Every season here has a unique beauty, and believe it or not I'm expecting to enjoy this one.

With a sunny forecast for Sunday I figured it would be a good time to get out and chase Pan Am Railways WAAY (Waterville, Maine to Ayer, Massachusetts) also known as the Poland Springs water train. The new train provides a relatively rare morning westbound freight move in Maine and New Hampshire. I was a little disappointed when I realized they were early enough that the first place there would be sun was the Salmon Falls River bridge over its' namesake Salmon Falls. I've worked in S. Berwick since 2000 so I've pretty much beaten the shot from the road to death. I figured it would be a good chance to try a different perspective with the drone. Power for the train was a trio of matched SD40-2's, something that will likely become increasingly rare with the influx of the C40-8's. All three units were built new as ATSF SD45-2's. On the head pin are paper loads from the Sappi Somerset mill destined for the railroad's GMX affiliate warehouse in Ayer followed by Eimskip containers loaded with the water. Unfortunately what I had hoped would be an all day chase was rather short lived as they ended up waiting several hours in Newfields.

(Pedionomus torquatus)
Somewhere 70km North of Deniliquin - NSW
Austrália
When we were planning our trip and looking for interesting places and species to photograph in/around Victoria, we came across this amazing but endangered bird. From that moment, we couldn’t wait to have the oportunity to get some shots of it!
However, when we contacted Patricia Maher in late April, we found out that Philip Maher’s available dates were super limited. Since we’d already booked our internal flights, it didn’t seem doable at first. But we’d left our last day in Melbourne free, partly to avoid the risk of delayed or canceled flights and partly to enjoy the city a bit before heading back home on the 26th.
That gave us a whole day (the 25th) to go for this bird! We booked two nights in Deniliquin and braced ourselves for a birding marathon starting at 6:30 AM and possibly ending at 2 AM on the 26th (luckily, our flight home from Melbourne wasn’t until 3 PM).
Two days before the big day, we got in touch with Patricia again, and she told us the weather forecast wasn’t looking great – rain was expected. But hey, plans are plans.
The day before, we drove from Melbourne to Deniliquin (a 3-hour, 270km drive) under nonstop rain. By this point, we were beyond exhausted: after 4 weeks of birding (our longest trip ever!), dealing with an 11-hour time difference, staying in 12 different accommodations, catching 5 internal flights and 3 international ones, eating food very different from what we were used to (and often skipping meals), waking up most days at 5 AM, we almost decided to turn back.
Plus, we already had a decent collection of photos on our hard drives. Honestly, all we wanted was to head back to Melbourne, relax, and enjoy the photos we’d taken.
The idea of driving in the rain for what might turn out to be a wasted effort wasn’t motivating at all. We were this close to turning around and heading back.
Thank goodness we didn’t! Not only did the rain ease up the next day, but we also managed to spot more than 40 new species – including both the male and female of this gorgeous bird. We got hundreds of photos from all the angles and distances we wanted! The female wasn’t super cooperative (she didn’t show off her pretty legs), but the male was a real show-off and a photographer’s dream. I’ll share his photos later too.
Note 1: This is the female of the species. She’s actually more colorful than the male, though some individuals are even more vibrant than this one.
Note 2: Nope, she’s not in the nest. Fun fact about this species: it’s the male that incubates the eggs and raises the chicks. The female focuses on defending her territory and mates with multiple males.
==================***==================
All my photos are now organized into sets by the country where they were taken, by taxonomic order, by family, by species (often with just one photo for the rarer ones), and by the date they were taken.
So, you may find:
- All the photos for this trip Austrália (2024) (309)
- All the photos for this order CHARADRIIFORMES (1170)
- All the photos for this family Pedionomidae (Pedionomídeos) (4)
- All the photos for this species Pedionomus torquatus (4)
- All the photos taken this day 2024/11/25 (30)

It's been a while since I posted a monochrome image so here is one of my favourite subjects in a high key format.
I had originally aimed to catch the Belhaven Bridge in bad weather with heavy skies and stormy waters but the forecast was so far off that I was met with sunbathers and the flattest seascape I think I've ever seen. Not a ripple!
Still, I alway say that you need to make the most of what is available so instead of mean and moody skies we have a bright light image of soft clouds and smooth milky water.
The forecast had promised snow on three consecutive days before and including this one. As you can see, there was no snow and the day was drab and gloomy. At least the clouds were interesting.
While the weather forecast did not look favorable for the westbound deadhead run of the CP business train we decided to pursue the train anyway. Then CP stuck the train at the "Murray Motel" for a couple of hours waiting for other trains. The result was the sun did indeed come out, and the high sun period passed so DK and I could go crazy shooting the train, along with many others. Here is the "shot of the day" as the train traverses the Minnesota lake country east of Elbow Lake.
From my fall foray into shorebird photography - the colours are appealing after a day of off and on again snow, and a forecast of snow through next week.
For my Flickr friends following our integration of increasingly-less-feral Gracie Jo into our household of 8 cats, this is the loft in our workshop/garage where I fixed cat "houses" for GJ. Last night, though, the temperature was forecast to drop to 22º F. (-5.6º C.); I picked her up and brought her inside (without incident). This was her 5th night in my room. For the first time, she spent most of the night on the bed instead of under it. It was convenient, because I needed to catch her to take her to the veterinarian's office this morning. Another first!
Retail Forecast: Gloomy
Not many cases left either. 20 Suitcases in that window... maybe. Not much left to sell us.
