I hate spiders. Like, a whole bunch. I got the creeps just editing this picture. No worries, though.. I made Ethan kill the nasty thing after I took this picture. :)
oh, and please excuse how horribly grainy this picture is....
(ps: sorry if you're one of those bug-loving people who don't believe in killing them or something... I'm 100% for killing creepy crawlies, and this one had to go!)
In 1999 nam de NMBS de beslissing om in Brussel een Gewestelijk ExpresNet (GEN) op basis van de RER ( Réseau Express Régional ) in Parijs uit te bouwen. In tegenstelling tot het Parijse voorstadnet, zou men in Brussel wel verschillende vervoersmogelijkheden (trein, metro, tram en bus) integreren. In 2004 begonnen de eerste infrastructuurwerken. De capaciteit van het spoor werd op bepaalde lijnen verdubbeld, bestaande stations werden gerenoveerd en er werden ook enkele nieuwe stopplaatsen gebouwd. In 2008 kocht de NMBS 305 Desiro-treinstellen, waarvan 95 stellen specifiek gekocht werden voor dienst op het GEN.
Voor de komst van de Desiro’s en de ingebruikname van het GEN, werd er eerst een proef uitgevoerd onder de naam “CityRail”. Aangezien de infrastructuur nog volop in aanbouw was, werd een beperkte treindienst opgesteld met 6 CityRail-lijnen. Met uitzondering van één lijn, maakten alle CR-lijnen gebruik van de verzadigde Noord-Zuidverbinding. Voor de exploitatie van deze lijnen werden een aantal klassieke motorstellen uit de reeks 70TH en 73 gemoderniseerd. Er werd ruimte gemaakt voor fietsen en de stellen werden voorzien van automatische halteaankondiging. Aan de buitenzijde waren de treinen te herkennen aan de opvallende livrei die afweek van de typische New Look-livrei van de andere gemoderniseerde klassiekjes. Daarnaast hadden de treinen ook een buitendisplay waar het CR-lijnnummer op werd weergegeven. In totaal werden er 40 CityRail-klassiekjes omgebouwd.
In de praktijk waren deze treinstellen het zelfde lot beschoren als de Breaks van de Brussels Airport Express. Ze kwamen in de reguliere dienst terecht en reden dus door heel het land. Met de start van de dienstregeling van 2013 verdween de benaming CityRail. Twee jaar later werd het GEN officieel in gebruik genomen met de S-trein, afgekeken van de Duitse S-Bahn . In 2018 kregen ook Antwerpen, Charleroi, Gent en Luik een eigen GEN, wel zonder grote infrastructuurwerken.
Ondertussen hadden de specifieke CityRail-stellen geen nut meer. Vanaf 2018 werden de treinen dan ook voorzien van een nieuwe variant van de New Look-livrei. Vanaf 2020 werden de eerste treinstellen buiten dienst gesteld. Hierdoor zijn de authentieke CityRail klassiekjes een zeldzaamheid geworden op het net, maar af en toe duikt er toch nog eentje op.
Onderweg als IC 4219 van Turnhout naar Antwerpen-Centraal, rijdt één van de laatste CityRail-klassiekjes door Lier richting Berchem. Al meer dan tien jaar rijdt de 984 rond in deze livrei, waarvan slechts één jaar als échte CityRail. De merknaam is intussen al verdwenen door het veelvuldig verwijderen van graffiti, maar de rest van de oude livrei blijft voorlopig nog staan. Aangezien alle klassiekjes stillaan aan het einde van hun carrière zitten, zal het treinstel wellicht niet meer voorzien worden van de New Look-livrei.

My praying mantis babies continue to grow- some are completely green now and as big as 2 knuckles. I go look for them every day and there are still at least 5 or 6 around.
a return to the bay today looking for the snow bunting a 3 hour plus wait around resulted in some good shots ,this one taken from a flat out on the beach position ,hence the title worth lying(down) for
Esta imagen se la dedico a Mª Africa.
Teo la tenía de lateral y yo preferí buscar este ángulo para lo que .... a tirarse al suelo y reptar hasta llegar a la distancia deseada. Así obtuve esta toma de la hembra madura de Brachythemis impartita
Nos llamó la atención el poco sombreado de las alas.

Teo had it on the side and I preferred to look for this angle for what ... to lie on the ground and crawl until you reach the desired distance. So I got this shot of the mature female of Brachythemis impartita
We were struck by the little shading of the wings.

The beguinage in Lier has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998.
It is a typical 13th century street beguinage with 11 narrow streets and 162 small houses. The front doors of the houses feature the name of a saint or a biblical scene. Most of the houses date from the 17-18th century.
Time for a girl to lie back and think of England..... So good to have my wedding dress draped all over the bed.
Drake's Island is a 2.6-hectare island lying in Plymouth Sound, the stretch of water south of the city of Plymouth, Devon. The rocks which make up the island are volcanic tuff and lava, together with marine limestone of the Devonian period. For more than 400 years the island was fortified.
The first recorded name for the island was in 1135, when it was referred to as St Michael's after the chapel erected on it. At some later date the chapel was rededicated to St Nicholas and the island adopted the same name. From the latter part of the 16th century the island was occasionally referred to as Drake's Island after Sir Francis Drake, the English privateer who used Plymouth as his home port. Even well into the 19th century, maps and other references continued to refer to the island as St Nicholas's Island and it is only in about the last 100 years that this name has slipped into disuse and the name Drake's Island has been adopted.
It was from Plymouth that Drake sailed in 1577, to return in 1580 having circumnavigated the world, and in 1583 Drake was made governor of the island. From 1549 the island began to be fortified as a defence against the French and Spanish, with barracks for 300 men being built on the island in the late 16th century.
For several centuries, the island remained the focal point of the defence of the three original towns that were to become modern Plymouth. In 1665 the Leveller Robert Lilburne died imprisoned on the island. He had been sentenced to life imprisonment for his part in the regicide of Charles I. A few years later John Lambert, a former general of the New Model Army in the English Civil War, was moved to Drake's Island from Guernsey, where he had been imprisoned since 1662. Like Lilburne, he never regained his liberty, dying on Drake's Island in the winter of 1683.
In June 1774 the first recorded submarine fatality in history occurred north of Drake's Island, when a carpenter named John Day perished while testing a wooden diving chamber attached to the sloop Maria.
Beyond the island is Mount Edgcumbe Country Park which is listed as Grade I on the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens and is one of four designated country parks in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The 358 hectares country park is on the Rame Peninsula, overlooking Plymouth Sound and the River Tamar. The park has been famous since the 18th century, when the Edgcumbe family created formal gardens, temples, follies and woodlands around the Tudor house. Specimen trees, such as Sequoiadendron giganteum, stand against copses which shelter a herd of wild fallow deer. The South West Coast Path runs through the park for 14 km along the coastline.
The park also contains the villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, as well as Mount Edgcumbe House itself. The Formal Gardens are grouped in the lower park near Cremyll. Originally a 17th-century 'wilderness' garden, the present scheme was laid out by the Edgcumbe family in the 18th century. The Formal Gardens include an Orangery, an Italian Garden, a French Garden, an English Garden and a Jubilee Garden, which opened in 2002, to celebrate the Queen's Golden Jubilee. The park and Formal Gardens are open all year round and admission is free. The park and gardens are jointly managed by Cornwall Council and Plymouth City Council. Although the park covers a large area, the park has limited formal maintenance. This gives it a rough and ready rural feel in all except the Formal Gardens.
The folly was built in 1747. It's an artificial ruin which replaced a navigation obelisk. It was built from stone from the churches of St. George and St. Lawrence, Stonehouse.
The title "A Devon Island" is a tongue in cheek reference to Space Deniers. Apparently, some people are convinced that NASA's Mars missions are a big hoax, and that the space agency's rovers are actually sending back photos from an island in Canada.
