One of the adorable little leaf-cutter bees that I gave a home to last summer. I live in Maryland but these were ordered from a breeder.

Fort Mason, once known as San Francisco Port of Embarkation, US Army, in San Francisco, California, is a former United States Army post located in the northern Marina District, alongside San Francisco Bay.
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...

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.
We scrambled around the lake to a small campsite to eat lunch far from the noisy crowd. There was a cold wind blowing but no rain. Would have been good to have a rain (we had raincoats along) because everything was very, very dry.

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

In the large size you can see the pits that give this wasp its name... The ID was confirmed by iNaturalist.
The Winter Solstice holds a special significance for us. We chose it as our wedding date. Even though Mason isn’t particularly fond of winter, the Solstice brings us great joy. It marks the return of light to the world, and that symbolism holds deep meaning for us.
This year, as we celebrate our anniversary, the Solstice carries even greater significance. Our little family has experienced five losses, and through that grief, we have learned to lean on one another for comfort and strength. As we remember our loved ones, we also look ahead with hope—welcoming a new year and the light that continues to return.

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*
Wonderful to come home after a day at work to see all the Mason Bees out in the sunshine buzzing around and exploring the bee hotels!
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.
