Said, whats wrong, my long time friend?

Somethin's botherin' you

Tell me what the problem is

I'll see what I can do

There are times we disagree

We agree more than we don't

We wont always see eye to eye

But we will more than we won't

We got friendship

The kind that lasts a lifetime

Through all the hardship, you know

You're a friend of mine

Yeah, we got friendship

The kind that lasts a lifetime

Through all the hardship, you know

You're a friend of mine

If you're on the street, I'll take your hand

If you're hungry, I'll give you food

If its money you need, I got some saved

If you're sick, I'll visit you

I have been where you are right now

You saw me through it all

I'll lean on you, you can lean on me

I am never gonna let you fall

'Cause we got friendship

The kind that lasts a lifetime

Through all the hardship, you know

You're a friend of mine

Yeah, we got friendship

The kind that lasts a lifetime

Through all the hardship, you know

You're a friend of mine

Talk to me, old pal of mine

If you feel you can't go on

Don't you sweat, it ain't over yet

This bond we share is strong

Now your welfare is my concern

You weigh less than you think

I'll carry you, through the circumstance

Safe I'll let you sing

Cause, we got friendship

The kind that lasts a lifetime

Through all the hardship, you know

You're a friend of mine

Yeah, we got friendship

The kind that lasts a lifetime

Through all the hardship, you know

You're a friend of mine

Yeah we got friendship

The kind that lasts a lifetime

Through all the hardship, you know

You're a friend of mine

Through all the hardship, you know

You're a friend of mine

Queen Mary is a retired ocean liner that sailed primarily in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1936 to 1967 for the Cunard Line (known as Cunard-White Star when the vessel entered service). Built by John Brown & Company in Clydebank, Scotland, Queen Mary along with her running mate, the RMS Queen Elizabeth, were built as part of Cunard's planned two-ship weekly express service between Southampton, Cherbourg, and New York City. The two ships were a British response to the superliners built by German and French companies in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Queen Mary was the flagship of the Cunard Line from May 1936 until October 1946 when she was replaced in that role by Queen Elizabeth. The vessel also held the Blue Riband from 1936 to 1937 and then from 1938 to 1952 when she was beaten by the new SS United States.

 

Queen Mary sailed on her maiden voyage on 27 May 1936 and captured the Blue Riband in August of that year; she lost the title to SS Normandie in 1937 and recaptured it in 1938. With the outbreak of World War II, she was converted into a troopship and ferried Allied soldiers for the duration of the war. Following the war, Queen Mary was refitted for passenger service and along with Queen Elizabeth commenced the two-ship transatlantic passenger service for which the two ships were initially built. The two ships dominated the transatlantic passenger transportation market until the dawn of the jet age in the late 1950s. By the mid-1960s Queen Mary was aging and though still among the most popular transatlantic liners, was operating at a loss.

 

After several years of decreased profits for Cunard Line, Queen Mary was officially retired from service in 1967. She left Southampton for the last time on 31 October 1967 and sailed to the port of Long Beach, California, United States, where she remains permanently moored. Much of the machinery including two of the four steam turbines, three of the four propellers, and all of the boilers were removed, and the ship now serves as a tourist attraction featuring restaurants, a museum, and hotel. The ship is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The National Trust for Historic Preservation has accepted the Queen Mary to be part of the Historic Hotels of America.

 

I wanted to stop by to say hello, and post a little photo that I took with my new lens. Hoping to post more soon as time permits.

Taken on Acaill (Achill), County Mayo in Ireland. I used a Lee 10 stop ND filter which I learned to use during the workshop I was doing.

always great to first hear and then see a group of these wandering around

I posted three Long-eared Owl images this evening.

This is a lifer and one I have wanted to photograph for many years. I posted two shots of the adult. The other adult image shows the behavior of elongating their body when in the presence of an intruder. I also posted a shot of a nestling.

 

If you look at the adult shots, you can see that something is wrong with her right eye. The left eye pupil contracted in relation to the light. but her right eye pupil remained dilated and fixed with some of the pupil crossing the boundary of the iris at the bottom.

 

Richard Chamberland who provided me with this opportunity told me he has seen this condition in a few Owls of different species and thinks it is an injury caused by a poke on a twig. It doesn't seem to impair their ability to fly or hunt. These Long-eared Owls are raising four and at least two are at the branching stage.

Larry and I had such an exciting birding day yesterday. We actually saw three Long-eared Owls with two sitting on the same long branch! Here is a photo of one of the two sharing a branch - this beauty actually had its eyes open for a bit. It was a beautiful day with pretty decent light so I was able to get a number of photos of all three of them.

Prior to the end of February, I had never been lucky enough to see a Long-eared sitting in its environment so this really was incredible and something that I will never forget!
