I take less photos now ( especially because I am working on reducing the amount of photos on my PC) but I did that one on Friday . It was our first bike ride of 2023. About 26 km of hills!!! I am happy to say that I managed pretty good...and those hours of workout may have made a difference .I still like walking but cycling is fun too. Happy Monday to all. And Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday !!!!!!!!!!!!
Je prends moins de photos maintenant (surtout parce que je travaille à réduire la quantité de photos sur mon PC) mais j'ai fait celle-là vendredi. C'était notre première sortie à vélo de l'année 2023. Environ 26 km de collines !!! Je suis heureuse de dire que je me suis bien débrouillée... et ces heures d'entraînement ont peut-être fait la différence... J'aime toujours marcher, mais le vélo est aussi amusant. Bon lundi à tous.
The Digger memorial , a remembrance cenotaph in many small towns throughout Australia . They were erected at the end of the Great War of 1914 -18 . A permanent reminder of the huge sacrifice this young country paid with the lost of so many young lives in time of war .
With a population of fewer than 5 million , 416,809 enlisted , 62,000 were killed and 156,000 wounded gasses or taken prisoner .
Anzac Day . Less We Forget .
Considerably less beloved than E8s were the low-slung Bombardier LRC locomotives, built to power matching trainsets. At least in the early days they looked somewhat impressive as eight and nine car consists with an engine on each end, as in the case of VIA No. 6908 at Brockville on 6 July 1986 with a corridor train.
Phoeniconaias minor.
Lesser flamingo.
Aspecto típico de los flamencos, aunque de un tamaño claramente menor que el flamenco común, lo que es especialmente visible si observamos ejemplares de las dos especies juntos. Plumaje de coloración rosa intenso que el del flamenco común. Posee un pico muy oscuro.
El flamenco enano llega como divagante hasta Marruecos, y también parece que la mayoría de los registros españoles y del sur de Francia podrían corresponder a aves venidas desde el noroeste de África, tal vez acompañando en sus migraciones a los flamencos comunes. En España tiene una presencia muy escasa pero regular, llegando a criar algunos años en la laguna de Fuente de Piedra (Málaga).
Durante varios años se han observado algunos ejemplares en el parque natural de El Hondo y alrededores.
El flamenco enano tiene su principal zona de cría en el sur del Sáhara, en los lagos del valle del Rift en Etiopía, Tanzania y Kenia .
La foto no tiene la calidad habitual por su lejanía pero si que es testimonial de su presencia en la zona.
The Humber Bay Marina, with much less ice today, seen from a 34th floor balcony of our condo building.
Best seen large by clicking on the photo. Merry Christmas! Joyeux Noël! Feliz Natal! Feliz navidad! Buon Natale!
One of the most numerous and widespread diving ducks in North America, especially on inland waters. Can be very active when feeding, diving and surfacing repeatedly. In winter often seen on lakes and bays in dense flocks, numbering hundreds or even thousands, and often with no other species of ducks associated with them. The two species of scaup sometimes occur in the same places, but they tend to keep to themselves rather than mixing freely.

This couple was taking a photo in the midst of Andaman sea where water level was less
Take a leisurely venture to the iconic Phra Nang Cave Beach. A fascinating shrine honors the Princess Goddess, Phra Nang, at this sacred site. The beach itself is a veritable paradise, boasting powdery white sand and pristine waters that are perfect for swimming and snorkeling.
With probably less than 15 minutes before the direct sun light died, CN 2016's headlight popped around the bend in the distance with limestone, much to my chagrin. They were following shortly behind the BLE 903 which also had limestone. I was really hoping to make use of a last patch of nose light along with the late season goldenrod. Made for a great twofer, sometimes you luck out. There have certainly been plenty of times that scenario has played out where I watched the light die entirely, only to have the headlight appear moments later.
Idling 645 prime mover echoes high note in the air as the cold night slowly take over the town of Cochrane in an already lost battle.
The Cochrane yard crew sit for now, inside the warm cab of GP9 1601, waiting for ONR Polar Bear mixed train arrival before starting the chores assigned to it.
Hard to believe but in less than 30 minutes, the place will be surrounded by railroad employees, passengers and locomotives assisting with the Bear's yarding.

As I was shooting my first test exposure, this giant bolt shot down from the cloud, and I captured it, over-exposed and (frustratingly) out of focus.
I got three more frames with less exciting (but properly exposed and focused) sticks, but just 7 minutes after I arrived, rain started coming down in sheets so I split.
4 frame composite, shot September 22, 2016 over the Indian River from Melbourne, Florida.
Every time Whiskey Monday unveils a new sim, I go and photostalk it. She hasn't left rez on yet but I know I'll catch her out one day.
These are her words taken from her picture and invitation HERE.
"On the Rocks
My new sim design is inspired by a low country tidal marsh at ebb tide. I can only take credit for the inspiration and the creative brief. The sim was designed by Sparkle Skye, who once again took my ideas and magically brought them to life. Well, less magic and more hard work. If you need sim design, I can't say enough good things about her work. She nails it every time, and I am not an easy client.
Feel free to drop by and wander around. And be sure to bring peanuts for Edgar the crow."

This was one of the views that I really liked, so I took some time lining it up. The EEP is Dave's HD Afternoon, you can find them on MP under Dave Fride. This shot is raw and unedited straight from SL.
One of our less common warblers, and one that I indeed do not see frequently. I was therefore happy that it was reasonably cooperative on such a dark day, the photo still came out sharp… At the Loch, Central Park, New York.

I took this photo several years ago. I would estimate it was taken around 2009 with the Canon Rebel XT that I had at the time. I went to visit my daughter on this day. She lives in Wolcott CT, one block from Cedar Lake. I saw this scene when I was driving home and I stopped to snap a shot. This a driveway to someone's home and you would never know this is a very residential neighborhood from the pic. This goes to show you that you should always bring your camera when you leave the house. ;-)
I remembered the photo when I went upstairs today and my husband rebooted his pc and this photo is his screensaver. I told him where I took the shot and he told me he thought it was a Microsoft screensaver. LOL
I am not sure why my older images that are uploaded to Flickr can not be viewed at a larger size. hmmmm
I am trying to get the courage to go out in the melting heat today and get something new. LOL The good news is the mostly sunny skies are starting to cover with clouds and I am hoping it will keep up so there will be diffused light today. Fingers crossed. ;-)
Please follow me on my Facebook page at the following link. I would love to see you there!!!
