A love session for the resident Kingfishers at Stafford Wildlife Hides - hopefully this means they will successfully have a second brood this year.......
Which side of the moss is on the tree?
Hypothetically, if I was walking next to the river (which is true), and if was lost (which is true, sort of), I should be able to tell which direction the moss is on the tree.
What do you do when the moss goes all the way around the trees? That is just as helpful as a spinning compass.
The Internet says, which it is always true, the moss grows on the North of the trees.
Except in the South hemisphere when the moss would be on the South side of the trees.
What about in the Equator?

The South Tyndale Railway. Leaving Lintley Halt and heading for the end of the line at Slaggyford. Not only a great little railway but a wonderful 23 mile footpath linking Tyne Head with Haltwhistle. The path runs next to the railway for about half its length, the Halts along the route provide great stops for a packed lunch when shelter is needed.
The next generation is now on the wing! A trip to Bempton on Thursday and the first time I have seen a juvenile Kittiwake flying! Aren’t they gorgeous! Sadly Kittiwakes are on the red list, the highest conservation priority - numbers have declined by 40% since the 1970s. So sights like this are to be treasured. Along with better managed fishing of sandeels, every little thing we can do to help slow/reduce climate change will help these beautiful members of the gull family, along with many, many other species.

...if you believe that sorta thing.
I believe this is a nifty sign. It's still there, and the Cleaners still in business.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Basilica of Saint Servatius is a Roman Catholic church dedicated to Saint Servatius, in the city of Maastricht, the Netherlands. The architecturally hybrid but mainly Romanesque church is situated next to the Gothic church of Saint John, backing onto the town's main square, Vrijthof.
The present-day church is probably the fourth church that was built on the site of the grave of Saint Servatius, an Armenian missionary who was bishop of Tongeren and died allegedly in 384 in Maastricht. A small memorial chapel on the saint's grave was replaced by a large stone church built by bishop Monulph around 570. This church was replaced by a larger pilgrim church in the late 7th century, which was then replaced by the present-day structure, which was built in several stages over a period of more than 100 years. The nave was built in the first half of the 11th century, the transept in the second half of the century, and the choir and westwork in the 12th century. The Romanesque church was built during a period in which the chapter of Saint Servatius kept close ties to the Holy Roman Emperors, which resulted in a building that has the characteristics of a German imperial church. The dedication of the church in 1039 was attended by the emperor Henry III and twelve bishops. Most of the church's Medieval provosts were sons of the highest ranking German noble families. Several held the office of chancellor of the German Empire; at least eight provosts went on to become archbishops.
[17:36] Taladis Tower wrinkled his nose as he came down from the small ramp. Reaching up the dark cat pulled the cigar from his mouth - tossed it to the floor and proceeded to step on it. He walked forward and leaned on the railing that led to the beach, looking over at the Cyborg Zero.
[17:39] Damienn Kiranov is blatantly amused when he sees the black cat walk up to the railing. He takes a drink from his flask, then puts it back in his pocket. A wry smirk crosses his lips as he speaks. "Well well well. Look what we have here. Sure as hell took you long enough. Surprised?"
[17:41] Taladis Tower grumbled in response to the man's comment. Instead, he moved down the sidewalk - as he walked he was unwrapping the gauntlets around his wrists. He tossed them on the ground as he continued to walk, only leaving the wrappings on his hands. Closing his fists, he just looked at Kiranov with that cold expression.
[17:43] Damienn Kiranov yawns. "Oh God. Now we go to this again... What are you gonna do now? Hmm? Seems kinda pointless to start a brawl when we don't have an audience."
[17:44] Taladis Tower wrinkled his nose at Kiranov's comment before practically growling out, "This isn't about people watching." His ears falling against his head, "You were supposed to be dead."
[17:45] Damienn Kiranov laughs and shakes his head. "You've got to be kidding me... Do you really think they would've left out any explosives training when I worked as an operator?"
[17:47] Taladis Tower grumbled lowly, "I don't care. I walked away because I expected you to be dead. You shot me, you left me for dead. I left /you/ for dead, you were just supposed to die. Now - we're somewhat at a crossroads, aren't we?"
[17:49] Damienn Kiranov pops his knuckles and takes his flask out of his pocket. "I guess we would be. So, what's your choice? I could care less about continuing this boring rivalry, since you're not the one I was looking for." He takes a drink from his flask, then pockets it.
[17:50] Taladis Tower watches Kiranov's movements carefully. Tal's cold gaze soon locking on the man's face once more. He wrinkled his nose, a grumble escaping his lips, "Next time that I see you? This won't be 'boring.'" Tal growled as he turned away, then knelt over to pick up his gauntlets before wandering off.
On its first day in revenue service, a next-generation Acela set brings Amtrak 2170 northbound across the Dock lift bridge. This was the second of two northbound trains run on the launch day, running all the way up to Boston. A third weekday set was added recently (November 2025).
It's been a long, fun filled day at the arboretum for these little ones! A long swim across the lake, crossing a wooded path, a trip to a big grassy field, and back again.
With three close at hand, Mom and Dad are now waiting for the other five stragglers to catch up.
Who knows what their next big adventure will be? From the looks of it, it might just be time for a power nap!
Enjoy your holidays in this tiny house that offers nice views over the picturesque seascape, peebbles beach and the Sodhaigh mor and Tarasaigh Islands, very private. ;-))

With a deserted barn in the background, a rusted old car hitched to a pleasure boat sits hub deep in grass, remaining in place until its loaded up and taken to a junkyard. My father was a workaholic, rarely taking us kids for anything resembling a vacation. Never one to crush our hopes, he always mentioned "next week".
Words are the worst way to say what I have to say, but sometimes you can't play how you want to play to show it well. And this is one splinter of a sentence, both a pain and a pleasure to try to expel. But I have to tell about the years of influence and artless advice that can still only escape in a struggling, stilted excuse for a smile. And when you're parked over on the wrong side of nowhere no amount off nothing is going to make it worthwhile. A touch, subdived, rinsed, and sold, before the hands have a chance to get cold, as an eyelash pries an hour from the schedules of the uninvolved. And your sills so-called insulation can only sigh at December Sundays, unsolved. So like the transportation of the suns, you must hold steady to the ones who light your mornings, nights, and aftermoons. And if you should grow angry with the pace of chance, don't be afraid to make some plans for December Sundays soon. Today you missed her getting up once again. Well boy, you've got to listen to me-promise her you'll rise this day next year from this very bed.
…Così come il movimento del sole, devi tenere stretto a te chi t’illumina le tue mattine, le notti, i pomeriggi. Se cresce in te la rabbia ad un passo da un’opportunità non aver paura di fare progetti per una domenica di dicembre . oggi l’hai persa rialzati ancora una volta. Bene ragazzo, devi ascoltarmi promettile che illuminerai da ora gli anni prossimi da questi anni orrendi
A quick shot of the Orion Nebula (M42), one of my favourite celestial objects and a really satisfying target. I've been waiting a year for an opportunity to image this nebula again, this time with a polar alignment and guiding to enable much longer exposures than the 15 second subs I took last time and with a lower ISO to reduce noise. The next project with this is to either stitch two shots together or, better still, rotate the camera in order to fit both the Orion Nebula and the nearby Running Man Nebula into one frame.
13 x 4 minute exposures at 400 ISO
8 x dark frames
10 x flat frames
21 x bias/offset frames (subtracted from flat frames only)
Total exposure time - 52 minutes
Guided with PHD
Processed in Nebulosity, Maxim DL and Photoshop
Equipment
Celestron NexStar 127 SLT
GoTo AltAz mount with homemade wedge
Orion 50mm Mini Guide Scope
ZWO ASI120 MC guiding camera
Canon EOS 700D DSLR
[Wikipedia] The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky. M42 is located at a distance of 1,344 ± 20 light years and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light years across. It has a mass of about 2000 times the mass of the Sun. Older texts frequently refer to the Orion Nebula as the Great Nebula in Orion or the Great Orion Nebula.
The Orion Nebula is one of the most scrutinized and photographed objects in the night sky, and is among the most intensely studied celestial features. The nebula has revealed much about the process of how stars and planetary systems are formed from collapsing clouds of gas and dust. Astronomers have directly observed protoplanetary disks, brown dwarfs, intense and turbulent motions of the gas, and the photo-ionizing effects of massive nearby stars in the nebula. [Wikipedia]

It was exciting to see this juvenile Red bellied Woodpecker show up the other day, checking out the seed-leg feeder. I can only guess mom and/or dad showed him where to come for some good eatin' in the neighborhood. LOL!
Here's hoping to more Red bellies in the future, and that they will also show their young where some of the best buffet dining can be found.
