The ferry trip from Kiel to Kiel-Friedrichsort and there by foot through the village to the beach Falkenstein. It was a sunny and beautiful little boat trip on the Kiel Fjord. At the end we had a pretty good view of the Marine Memorial Laboe and the lighthouse near Falckenstein beach.
Here's the landing dock Falkenstein (Falckensteiner bridge is currently closed, unfortunately).

Ausflug mit der Fähre von Kiel nach Kiel-Friedrichsort und zu Fuß durch den Ort bis zum Strand Falckenstein. Friedrichsort ist wegen dem schönen Sandstrand mit Dünen und der Werft Lindenau bekannt.
Es war eine sonnige und schöne kleine Schiffsreise auf der Kieler Förde, an deren Ende wir auch eine recht gute Sicht auf das Marineehrenmal Laboe und den Leuchtturm Friedrichsort am Falckensteiner Strand hatten.
Hier der Landungssteg Falckenstein (die Falckensteiner Brücke direkt am Strand ist zur Zeit leider geschlossen).

Arawacus leucogyna FELDER & FELDER, 1865
(Narrow-lined Hairstreak / Tecla rayada)
Arawacus leucogyna is distributed from Belize to Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru. This species is found in forest edge habitats. Males perch on the foliage of shrubs and saplings at trail intersections. Forewing: 16 mm.
There are 18 species of Arawacus, all confined to the neotropical region. All have a similar pattern of brown or black stripes radiating from the tornus of the hindwing and terminating at points along the forewing costa.
The pattern serves to divert the eye of birds away from the butterfly's head and body, and towards the 'false antennae' tails. Immediately after settling, the butterfly characteristically gyrates to face in the opposite direction and dips its head. It then slowly oscillates the hindwings, causing the tails to wiggle, which further acts to focus the observer's attention on the rear of the butterfly.

CNW GP30 815 is headed eastbound toward Norfolk at Tilden, NE on September 15, 1988. This scene is almost unrecognizable as the railroad was abandoned in 1992 and is now a trail and much of the related infrastructure gone.
This same train appeared on the back cover of "The High, Dry and Dusty: Memories of the Cowboy Line" as the other photographer on this day was on the other side of the tracks. Brian Walker photo.

Ridgeway Lane girder bridge
The bridge carries an ancient track called Ridgeway Lane (now a county unclassified unmetalled road) over the now-dismantled Rugby to Leamington line. The cutting, approximately 60 feet deep, took the railway through a ridge of high ground between Hunningham Hill and Snowford.
The single-span wrought-iron bridge is of trussed lattice girder construction and when built in 1851 it was the longest such bridge ever constructed. In later years, four lattice columns and cross-ties were added to reinforce the original structure

The Ilkisiusiu Pride early one morning making their way across open ground to a small wooded area where they will find a shady spot to sleep the rest of the day. Here we see four adult lionesses, two older subadults (fifth in line and one right at the back), two larger cubs leading the second group, and the three smaller cubs from one of the previous photos (the two at the front and their sibling coming in from the right).
An interesting point to note, is that this particular photo was taken at 6:30am. We'd been with the pride for 15 minutes or so, before which we'd had a half-hour drive from camp. By 6:40am the pride had gone into cover and would not come out again until late afternoon. The moral of course being that if you don't break camp early before the sun rises, you'll not witness experiences like this.
Four of the Mallard ducklings on Saturday. Sadly on Sunday there were only two but in this picture they will always be together.

I keep my eyes wide open all the time

Because you're mine, I walk the line. "

There is just something about discarded flowers, left out in the rain and ground into the pavement, that stirs my imagination and has me wondering about the story behind them.

I am thankful for adversity. Likewise, I am thankful for the humility and utter reliance on God it points me to.
Now, before you think I'm all some kind of noble, let me also say that adversity hurts. And the conflict and outright hostility from some in my life hurts especially hard... dismissive ridicule masquerading as high-minded tolerance; mocking sneers written into shaded words; assumptions and presumptions born of enmity and estrangement.
I have lost to that estrangement close family and friend alike. Job would understand. So would Paul, and Luther, and Wilberforce, and Schneider. Each drew a line that defined an arc of adversity against which they leaned continually throughout their days. Mine, like theirs, has become an anchor.
God, it is said, draws straight lines with crooked sticks. And mine was particularly misshapen. But as an invited resident in my life, the line Christ has drawn for me has become a dividing line with those who bear adversity in their bosoms as if it their very breath. And for that I am thankful. No, not that we are divided. But thankful that by that line I am forever tethered to a hope and peace and assurance I would not have otherwise discovered.
As adversity isolates it also frees. And I am free, indeed.
