I took a relaxing day trip to the Adirondacks on Saturday. I got some nice drone images while there.

 

I hope everyone enjoys this image! :D

On our return from P3, we passed Mason Lake, shimmering in the late afternoon sun.

Just another wider take on this scene to help give you a sense of how truly massive these cranes are.

 

Remember in this post how I shared a bit about my surprise as to how busy the Savannah rail terminal is: flic.kr/p/2orwBib Well this should put it into starker relief for your. This is the Mason Mega Rail Terminal viewed looking down from Bourne Ave. (compass northwest) at the east half of the 18 track yard. Each of the two groups of 9 tracks has four wide span cranes reaching across its breadth. Everything here you see is new to support the absolute explosion in container volume through the Georgia Port Authority's. To put in perspective in 2003 the port handled 1.5 million TEUs (twenty foot equivalent units) and 5.9 million in 2022 and are building out capacity to support up to 9 million by 2025! There are tons of stories online about the port and this growth but here are a couple specific to the rail terminal in this photo:

In days of old the port trackage was operated by the Savannah State Docks Railroad but since 1998 has been operated under contract to the Genesee and Wyoming as the Savannah Port Terminal Railroad. With the contract extended it seems like this road will be around for the long term and busier than ever.

A pair of Georgia Central GP38-2s are dwarfed by the cranes with GC 2115 having been blt. Nov. 1979 as Chicago and Northwestern 4610. The SAPT only rosters three units in their own lettering and two of those, original Savannah State Docks SW1001s, are on the EPA consent decree 'kill list' that was all the talk a couple months ago. Sadly I eient get to see them during my very brief outing.

A stunning little beast. Quite fascinating creatures. As ever, Stephen Falk has documented them rather well - www.flickr.com/photos/63075200@N07/collections/7215763704...

Awesome furry blue little guY!

 

Pretty sure this is a Mason Bee.

Wishing all my Flickr friends a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

We traveled around Mason Lake to a peaceful campsite where we had lunch. A few dozen people were around the bend on the other side of the lake noisily enjoying themselves. Thankfully, we didn't hear them very much in this spot.

From Wikipedia about the name Mason.

 

The popularity of this name has increased in recent years, becoming the second most popular name given to boys in the United States in 2011

 

By a strange coincidence, I named my cat in 2011 by this name

Delighted that a few Osmia bicornis Red Mason bees have begun to emerge from the bee hotel in my garden (see photo in first comment). ID confirmed as a male Red Mason Bee on the Insects/Invertebrates Ireland FB page. The males emerge before the females apparently.

 

My Dad made the bee hotel & as he had several already he gave it to me when I was over visiting them in Hereford last Summer. Several of the tubes were sealed with mud. Coming back on the car ferry I suddenly panicked & thought "what if I'm introducing a new species to Ireland"? Thankfully Red Mason bees are already here, phew! HWW & HBBBT!

I am hopeless. I have done nothing all day... so much for all of the projects I had in my mind (where they generally stay...forever). I went back to the abandoned stone house and took more pictures.... and I found these mason jars... and they followed me home....

Someone really needs to save me from myself...

Mason jars are a wonderful thing. You can fill them with treasures... like seashells, or buttons, or clothespins (yes, they are treasures, too) and then add them to the thousand other mason jars filled with treasures.... *sigh*

Mason Greenwood is 18 and there was an article about him in today's Times.

 

That shouldn't come as a surprise as there was an article about him in yesterday's Times, too. And the day before, and the day before that ... and ...

 

You get the picture. Mason may just be a special footballer.

They emerge from their nests again. Spring has begin!

After we crossed Defiance Ridge, we took the Defiance Trail down to Mason Lake. Finally, the clouds were starting to break up.

Mason bees I think. On our driveway. Picked them up in case they got stood on. Quick mobile snap and let them carry on, in the safety of the garden.

Mason is my nephew from my brother

he is 8 months old now<3

 

Him and Jake are the only good things to happen to me this year, true story.

We hiked up the steep old Mason Lake trail and down the new Ira Spring trail. The old trail gives opportunity to see several small waterfalls along Mason Creek.

  

Happy Waterfall Wednesday!

  

Explored.
