Listening : Grounding : Busy - I sat out in the backyard very, very still listening for the chirps of the hummingbird that I had seen earlier. I forced myself to stay longer than I thought I should since the day was so busy, but I'm glad I did because the stillness had a grounding effect and I was also rewarded with a visit from our little friend. #thesummermiracle #AugustBreak2015 #thesummerslowdown2015 #thehereco

The fine brown groundings are Ruibosch tea. The teabags were emptied so that Maya could make her own hand-sewn teabags with mint from the garden. I wanted to show how well an eggbox makes a bottom liner.

Short Description: A book of 17 photographs taken of my compost caddy whenever I found the contents interesting because of the colours or composition of elements or both. The photographs were taken with natural light from a skylight which gives a variation in the speed and aperture used. This information is recorded on the facing page with date of capture. The camera used was always a Sigma DP2 with Foveon sensor.

I've only recently realized how many strong and grounding Taurus people I have in my life. While sometimes it feels like the running of the bulls with them, I'm thankful for their influences in my life. Here birthday boy Brock Axthelm provides a strong and solid foundation for the people around him in life. Happy birthday to all my Taurus friends this month.

On Tuesday, Jan. 25, a 55-foot-long vessel named the Vivens Aqua, registered in Maryland, grounded near the south end of Ocracoke Island after attempting to navigate Ocracoke Inlet. After several attempts to remove the Vivens Aqua failed, all fuel oil was removed from the vessel.
In the year of the ash cloud, grounding all flights in Northern Europe, our regular trip to Jersey for the Primary School's football festival was affected thus meaning a ferry from St Helier rather than the usual short flight back to Birmingham.
A 12 hour journey home was made that year that would otherwise take around 4 hours to complete.

Norwegian coastal-express M/S Nordstjernen -- in trouble in the night of Feb 22, as engines stopped & she drifted towards land. She also had a slight touch with the seabottom off Værlandet.

Passengers switched to MS Lyngen.

The first full day of Air Cadet Air Experience Flying at 3 AEF, Colerne, Since the grounding 14 months ago
It is always a pleasure to see United's fleet of Boeing 777s which have returned back with abundance at London Heathrow following not only COVID-19, but also the temporary grounding of the Pratt & Whitney-powered examples following high-profile engine failures.
For United Airlines, the Pratt & Whitney-powered Boeing 777-200ERs often work interchangeably with their General Electric counterparts ever since they received Polaris cabin refurbishments, the only exception being on the airline's longest range flights.
In the past, the Pratt & Whitney examples typically were based out of Chicago-O'Hare (Boeing 777 base since closed), San Francisco and Washington-Dulles, with occasional visits at Newark-Liberty, whilst the General Electric examples predominantly from Houston-George Bush Intercontinental and Newark-Liberty. Since their refurbishments, they have been far more interchangeable with all 55 Boeing 777-200ERs to be found across Houston-George Bush Intercontinental, Newark-Liberty, San Francisco and Washington-Dulles.
Once upon a time, seeing a Pratt & Whitney-powered Boeing 777-200ER operating from Houston was a somewhat rarity, indeed on their twice daily flights between London Heathrow and Houston, the General Electric examples would have been utilised. Now since their refurbishments, this is no longer the case.
Today, United Airlines continues to operate twice daily flights between London Heathrow and Houston-George Bush Intercontinental, with both UA880/879 and UA5/4 utilising Boeing 777-200ERs, whilst the former is consistently performed by the General Electric-powered variants, the latter sees more of a mixture between General Electric and Pratt & Whitney variants.
Currently, United Airlines operates 96 Boeing 777s, which includes 19 Boeing 777-200s, 55 Boeing 777-200ERs and 22 Boeing 777-300ERs.
November Seven Nine Five Uniform Alpha is one of 55 Boeing 777-200ERs operated by United Airlines, delivered new to the carrier on 9th December 1997 and she is powered by 2 Pratt & Whitney PW4090 engines.
