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
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.
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!
The seawall in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, is a stone wall that was constructed around the perimeter of Stanley Park to prevent erosion of the park's foreshore. Colloquially, the term also denotes the pedestrian, bicycle, and rollerblading pathway on the seawall, one which has been extended far outside the boundaries of Stanley Park and which has become one of the most-used features of the park by both locals and tourists. James "Jimmy" Cunningham, a master mason, dedicated his life to the construction of the seawall from 1931 until his retirement. Even after he retired, Cunningham continued to return to monitor the wall's progress, until his death at 85. While the whole path is not built upon the seawall, the total distance from CRAB park, around Stanley Park and False Creek to Spanish Banks is about 30 kilometres (19 mi).

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.
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.
We hiked up Mason Creek yesterday. The creek was often full of new tree fall and debris. But I found this sweet little spot.
Explored.
This locomotive always fascinates me. Built by Keith Mason in his machine shop from parts bought, bartered and traded for and built to the plans for an 1890's class 'A' climax. Multiple photo ops have been attended by myself and would love to attend one more. This run on the Locust Heights and Western in West Virginia.
Mason was one of a litter of four kittens, gifted to us in 2005 by a little pregnant stray we named Coconut. Sixteen years of wonderful memories would follow. Thank you, Coconut.
