Traveling for our postponed and overdue vacation last week. Plenty of captures to share incoming, including this set of frisky trucks outside our hotel stop along the way.

The heated birdbath is a must in the winter time. We have been getting 100's at a time of Cowbirds like this female coming to the feeders and then to the bath for a drink. It was in the 40's so I went out on the deck with Bandit for a while. Lots of kisses from my happy boy. My backyard. Central Bucks, PA.

The light house is wrapped in plastic this last past week. Getting work done inside and out from a company down state.

It must have been a chilly June morning (about 6 AM) when this image was taken as the beautiful female mountain bluebird has puffed up some of her feathers.

 

These special birds will be back in about 7 or 8 weeks. Given the cold and snow in Alberta at the moment, it seems like a pipedream. However, there is lots of time for the sun to warm things up as the days get longer.

Finally decking the house out for the holiday. Merry Christmas!

 

Raw, unedited photo.

Used the 90mm prime to get a little closer to the Swan St Bridge. It was easier than walking!

A view from Blaven (Bla Bheinn) on the Isle Of Skye. Blaven is an outlier to the Black Cuillins.

…… Another ‘at home’ day today and we’ve been doing exciting things like cleaning & reproofing the walking boots & shoes in readiness for our annual Lake District trip! They should cover all eventualities & weathers. So that's my Bootifull #268 shot of the day, taken on my phone in Apple RAW then edited in Lightroom. Alan:-)

Getting the stare-down from this guy in my uard in NE Oklahoma.

The hierarchy of deer feeding. It is so interesting to watch who gets to eat and how some deer try to sneak in for a bite to eat

Work does not cease at the Oskova washery of RMU Banovici, and photographic opportunities continue to present themselves, but the lure of the warm hotel with food and drink just 10 minutes drive away, deep in the the adjoining forest, was a necessity to prise one away from this most incredible steam-worked industrial operation well into the 21st century. During the evening of 24th February 2015, this standard post-war Yugoslavian industrial 760mm gauge 0-6-0 tank locomotive No.25-30 built in 1949, while attempting to get its rake of partly discharged hopper wagons on the move again through the tipping dock to allow further wagons to be manually discharged, unexpectedly slipped violently and in the process deposited some the contents of its firebox into the night sky and onto the track. It had been a particularly busy two days at the washery, with demand for coal being high. With this frame 'in the can' just before 8.00pm, it was certainly time to finally call it a day and grab a nice cool beer.

January.

January gets a bad rap. Yeah.... the holidays that most people look forward to are over... the next paid holiday (at least in my world) is Memorial Day! Most of us have eaten our way through the holidays and have now made ridiculous resolutions about losing weight, exercising and getting healthy... along with numerous other resolutions that rarely survive the first month of the year. It's cold. It's dark.... it's dark when we get up and dark when we get out of work. It's like an endless Monday.... (well, for most people... I, personally love Mondays, so that's not really how I feel!) ... 31 days straight of

Mondays for everyone else. And speaking of Mondays... and survival... here's another fun fact (almost as fun as the one about owls eating the heads off of pheasants).... The third Monday of January is regarded as the most depressing day of the year. It actually has the highest suicide rate of any other day of the year. Yup.... did you know that? And it's coming.... I'm going to survive Monday... because, hey! it's my favorite day of the week... now, Tuesday... that's another story altogether.

 

Anyway.... there are good things about January. It's a "catch up" month. We get to do things that we didn't have time to do because we were prepping for the holidays. It's dark... so we get to come home from work and put pajamas on at 7:00 (some of us are even asleep by 7:30!!) So, we get to catch up on sleep. It's cold... so we get to use wool.... wool blankets, wool scarves, wool sweaters, wool fingerless gloves. I love wool. Oh...and we get to wear many layers... which hide the extra pounds that have been added due to all of the chocolate covered goodies that appeared in the kitchen at work during all of December. It's cold and dark... so it gives us an excuse to curl up under blankets, with a good book, and go to sleep early. And if there's something you are supposed to do, that you don't want to.... you can pray for snow to get out of it... or just use the excuse... it's too cold. And if you do go out, like when I go to Waterloo Village every day...you have the place all to yourself (because it's cold... and it's dark!!) ... but having the place all to myself... PERFECT!! Just the way I like it! There... don't you feel better already? Yeah, I have no problem with January, and it's almost over anyway (although I have several other things to whine and complain about that aren't even close to being over... ugh)

  

Is it me or does little guy not appear to be hanging on very tightly?

 

SOOC on my nightly walk with you know who. She is a great decoy as the birds turn their heads for the camera!

HFF everyone! A Happy Thanksgiving weekend to my friends in the US.

A couple of visitors tried to get an earlier glimpse of the rising sun.

 

Have an exciting day, everyone...

The juvenile Great tit at our feeder gets yellow feathers.

.. to stand on his hind legs to get at the tastier shoots higher up at Holkham, Norfolk.

On a quick trip to check out some photo spots on the Montana Rail Link we followed a coal train up Bozeman pass to Muir. We figured we would scout a spot to get the helper set running back light.

 

That didn't happen.

 

As we turned the corner on Bozeman Hill Road our eyes got big...real big! A pair of eastbound trains with older EMD power were waiting to top the grade.

 

What luck.

 

What fun.

 

What a day.

Getting close with a leaf of, if my research is correct, a felt bush or elephant's ear kalanchoe (Kalanchoe beharensis). This plant, an intriguing but mysterious shrub with thorny stalks as a contrast to its fuzzy leaves, came with the house I bought in 1996.

 

This view of the leaf is about 2½" (63.5mm) wide.

couple of SEO shots from earlier this year , hopefully get a chance at these again soon

Every time I break night, I get twisted in the morning.

One of many shots I took at Porthcawl Lighthouse yesterday when the seas were very rough with Storm Herminia passing through. It is very safe there taking shots as most people stand behind the sea wall but a few stalwarts stand very close to the sea - it isn't quite as scary as it looks as they can reach the safety of higher ground very quickly but I must admit I would never risk it! I took way too many shots but will upload a few when I get time to sort through them.
