Knowing the snow wont last - at least not yet - it was important to get outside and enjoy it as much as possible. Rain is coming tomorrow.
knowing what these buggers can do to a monarch caterpillar.... I get sick whenever I spot one... and this is the main reason when I spot a Monarch egg, I bring it safely inside!!
About the Tachinid fly:
The Tachinid fly (also know as Tachinidae and/or tachina flies or simply tachinids) is a large family of parasitoid flies that lay their eggs in host insects (usually caterpillars). The fly eggs hatch and feed on the host insects, eventually killing the host and emerging as a larva (maggot) that then turns into a fly. One type of Tachinid fly targets the Monarch caterpillar (see images above and below). This Tachinid fly injects its egg or eggs into the Monarch caterpillar, where the eggs hatch and grow as parasoids, eventually killing the caterpillar (or chrysalis). I've actually seen a Tachinid fly land on and inject its egg into a Monarch caterpillar. From what I've witnessed, the fly doesn't really land on and sit on the caterpillar. Instead it's more of a hit-and-run. The fly just touches the caterpillar and leaves, and the caterpillar spasms and drops to the ground, where it writhes and thrashes about, appearing to attempt to rub its back on the ground to dislodge whatever has just hurt it. I've only seen a Tachinid fly hit a caterpillar twice, and it's a blink-of-the-eye thing... usually I just see flies in the area, and then I will notice a caterpillar drop to the ground and wiggle and flop. All of the sources I've read have said the Tachinid fly targets the Monarch caterpillar, but one source said the fly can also inject its egg into a Monarch egg. I am trying to determine if this is true. As you'll also read below, I tried raising two "wild" Monarch caterpillars that were only about a 1/4" long, and they both eventually died from Tachinid maggots. I used to think Tachinid flies only targeted big caterpillars, but from my experience with the 1/4" long caterpillars eventually dying, it is clear to me that Tachinid flies can also target (inject) small Monarch caterpillars. What is unclear is if the Tachinid fly also targets the Monarch egg, as well as what can be done about the dreaded Tachinid fly.
Before knowing the weather condition of the Himalayan region we should understand its geography. The Himalayan region covers an area of 2,250 km with an average width of 200 km. The forest belt of the Himalayan region consists of Oak, Rhododendron, Birch, Pine, Deodar, and Fir. And the monsoon season in this region lasts for mid June till the end of September. The Himalayas influences the meteorological conditions in the Indian subcontinent to the south and in the Central Asian highlands to the north to a great extent. It acts a climatic divider circulating the air and water system to a great extent. Because of its altitude and location it blocks the passage of the cold winds coming from the north to the Indian sub continent thereby making India's climate much more moderate. It also influences the rainfall pattern in India. The combined effect of rainfall, latitude and altitude largely influences the forests belts in the Himalayan region. The rainfall is mostly recorded during the monsoon time of June to September but it decreases as you travel from east to west. The snow-capped ranges of the Himalayas stretch 2, 250 km from the Namcha Barwa to Nanga Parbat on the Indus. The range extends from east to west up to central-Nepal and then takes a southeast to northwest direction.

Not knowing what you're looking at in a picture can sometimes be annoying. But if you look long enough you might see two circular ramps of a parking-garage around midnight. All artificial lit. The pink area's are illuminated by cars coming down the ramp. The blue parts are "normal" lit.
So, just shapes 'n' colours....
Enjoy!

The base of this work is my very first Save the Family painting, a triptych painted about my own family, including my six children. My first son, third child, Brian, was born and only lived in this world for a little over an hour, and yet he is and always will be a member of my family. He is on the left-hand side, faintly, outside the hearts, indicating he left this world. On the right-hand side is my other son, Séan, who was in a coma for 4 days with Meningitis, thankfully, he survived. At the back are Gerry and I, and in front of us in the middle are our girls, in order: Kristina, Michelle, Karen, and Diana. If you look closely, we are all there, not in reality but in the abstract. Having been blessed with a big and close family made bigger through our grandchildren, needless to say, family is the most important subject of my work.
This is my last entry for the February Hearts in Art Contest.
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, and stay safe! ❤️❤️❤️
Knowing there was an extra job set to run to Luthy and back on this gorgeous Sunday morning, I set my sights on Wolcott and kept my hopes extremely low.
I was expecting light power or a long hood forward locomotive, but what I was not expecting was the CF&E 3316, recently transplanted from its home road.
The 3316 brings a decent cut of cars past the former PRR depot in town.
Happy Sliders Sunday! 😊
I chose a random text from the Tao Te Ching to weave in with my tree watercolour. And when I looked up a translation I had to smile … it was just right! I have to fight myself to stop overdoing my painting … and the wise words are a perfect lesson for me!
"Better stop short than fill to the brim.
Over-sharpen the blade, and the edge will soon blunt.
Amass a store of gold and jade, and no one can protect it.
Claim wealth and titles, and disaster will follow.
Retire when the work is done.
This is the way of heaven."
(number 9)

This work is dedicated to women and their uphill battles of juggling work and family life. I address the importance of accepting motherhood for our children, hoping that our society will change and allow women more time with their children after birth. Starting with breastfeeding, which is on a 3-hour basis, and creates a special lifetime bond between mother and child. Promoting a strong educational and loving environment for children to grow in. Mothers are the family base, very much in tune with their children, and are always working for the best for their children. This takes time, and the time should be available, especially if we want peace, diversity, and acceptance in our world.
Mothers are often the family base, tuned in, and working to achieve the best for their children. This endeavor demands time which is too often is in short supply due to the uphill battle of juggling work and family life.
My late husband’s deep love and respect for his mother grew into love, respect, belief in, and support, for myself and our four daughters. His belief in us empowered our lives as he valued our dreams and endeavors. I wish that all men and partners had this positive and supportive attitude, as it makes life easier for the whole family.
A mother’s role is important in their children's lives. In order to bring up healthy and well-balanced children, sufficient time is required to be given to the children, time should be made available at birth and through an extended time. Child development psychologists state that the first 3-5 years of a child's life are the most important. Sadly, many employers do not see things that way.
In order to provide mothers with time to nurture their family, with the understanding that it is in the best interest of young children, the government needs to change the concept of Stay-At-Home-Mothers, making it acceptable for mothers to look after their children full-time with the help of family benefits and tax credits.
Thoughtful employers can make a difference in the possibilities for mothers. Flexible work schedules, providing more time for maternity leave is an example seen throughout Europe. Employers could make a leave of absence possible, providing a young mother with time for her children. Women should without exception be paid equally and provided with the same benefits as men who are doing the same work. If women have been invaluable workers, why treat them with anything other than respect and understanding?
Something is very wrong here, and this needs to change. Often the $ £ is more important than human life today. If we all work together, helping one another, we can get closer to equality. I know that total equality does not work, but equality within reason, most certainly does. Providing a strong educational and loving environment for children to grow up in takes tremendous effort and time. If we value peace, diversity and acceptance, we should work together to provide this time.
I often choose to use bright and strong colours for my work to make my message stronger and to elaborate on my concern for what is happening in today’s world. I always try to give a positive message, believing that I have a better chance of a positive reaction.
*A special mention for my cousin, Dr. Carole Ulanowsky Rose, who shares her works with me. Thank you, dear Carole, you are an inspiration!

Not knowing when we would again have the pleasure of visiting Gothenburg, we headed out this evening in the rain on an exploratory photo-walk.
On our way to Mathuggests Scenic Point, we passed by Stora Hamnkanalen (Grand Harbour).
Gothenburg was founded in 1621 on a low-lying area on the southern bank of the Göta River . It was planned to build a number of canals according to the Dutch model, to drain but also for the city to function as a port.
Stenpiren, the Stone Pier, was built in 1844 and was Gothenburg's first big harbour by Göta Älv.
Work on the Stora Hamnkanalen, or Grand Harbour, began in the summer of 1620 when Gustav II Adolf employed two Dutch "conducteurs" (technical supervisors), canal and dike masters Jan Aertsen and Joost van Werdt to lead the harbor construction.
Stora Hamnkanalen was the Gothenburg harbour more than 200 years.
The building of it started directly after the town was founded. It was built after Dutch pattern and with Dutch management. Works started in 1620 and it was opened in 1622.
Stora Hamnkanalen directly became the vital nreve of the town
Knowing the forecast tanked anywhere on the MRL, I woke up at 4am in Helena and blasted north for the 3hr ride toward Glacier, where it looked like at least a good chance of sun in the morning. I ran into this train at Grizzley and the chase was on! Here is the EB stack train at Browning, MT with an uncommon ACE in the lead! This was THE shot on my hit list, after getting shagged here on a couple BN trains in the very early 90's. "check"!
Knowing 60055 and 56091 would be working 6Z26 back through the Hope Valley on a fine afternoon it would have been rude not to make the 15 minute drive to Hope to get an approaching and trailing shot of the two DC locos. At this point 56091 was ticking over.
... knowing that we know how fossils are created, and how that process is a once in million ... and how fleeting life is, we should be putting items from our time period in sediments so that future intelligence will be able to find millions of years from now evidence of our existence after we are long gone.
Need to go bury things in the right sediments now :)
We've been feeding the Ducks on this stormy day.

I see my path, but I don't know where it leads. Not knowing where I'm going is what inspires me to travel it. Rosalia de Castro

Knowing what lay below Wishram, WA on the Oregon Trunk Sub, I kept an ear to the radio while shooting the busier Fallbridge Sub, and heard this guy getting the bridge over the Columbia dropped for him. I was way out of position but I headed for Maupin, OR and began following south. A few miles later, i got him here at Boxcar Rapid, on a gorgeous fall morning.

Peace is never long preserved by weight of metal or by an armament race. Peace can be made tranquil and secure only by understanding and agreement fortified by sanctions. We must embrace international cooperation or international disintegration. Science has taught us how to put the atom to work. But to make it work for good instead of for evil lies in the domain dealing with the principles of human dignity. We are now facing a problem more of ethics than of physics.
Bernard Baruch
From the prophets' dreams of the time when nations would beat their swords into plowshares to today's aspirations of a nuclear-weapons-free world, we have sought to avoid armed conflict and not yield to despair in the search for universal peace. The nuclear threats from Iran, North Korea, and terrorists can only be overcome through international cooperation. We call upon Congressional leaders and those worldwide to join together to ensure the fulfillment of these long-overdue initiatives and the achievement of a safer future without nuclear weapons.
David Saperstein
Simply put, international terrorism made international cooperation mandatory rather than elective. Collective security has become the only real security against the hydra-headed monster of international terror.
John Ashcroft
The war on terror, if this is a war on terror, can only be won by a sincere regional and international cooperation. All have to believe they have something at stake and work together. In the absence of this it will become political and interest-oriented.

Maybe the title is a bit overdramatic, but seriously, knowing what we should focus on at what point in our lives is the tricky bit. Hope you have a great day. HSS!
I'm always amused by the niche stalls you find in markets in Thailand. These complementary ingredients would go into making base sauce for many Burmese dishes.
Knowing 160 was leading this morning’s slightly late Eastbound California Zephyr, I set my alarm for 5:00 and rushed out of the house to snag some shots of the unit both in Nebraska and Iowa. Here, the train rushes towards downtown Omaha with low sun in full effect.
Knowing the impending closure of Rousellot and considering I've only shot BO-1 twice, a friend and I made the trek up toward Peabody to get our shots. A handful of other railfans had the same idea as we watched MEC 507 switch out Rousellot at Allens Lane in Peabody, MA.
