When a few flowers died in each of two bunches of flowers I was given, I merged them together and think the colours go well.
Day 17 post-op yesterday and I took a walk down the road, with Ray and 2 crutches for company (although I can now manage fine with 1 indoors) my target being to the local church and back. It was slow, the traffic a bit noisy to somebody unaccustomed to walking out but there is a handy seat near the church.
Once home, Ray checked the distance and found I had walked just over half a mile - well pleased!

We stumbled by chance on a coast guard rescue operation while visiting Las Teresitas.
Helicopter and boats were searching around a specific spot on the coast.
We checked later and found out that tragically two young swimmers got trapped in a small cave and drowned before help arrived.
Operation Shingle (January 22, 1944), during the Italian Campaign of World War II, was an Allied amphibious landing against Axis forces in the area of Anzio and Nettuno, Italy. The operation was commanded by Major General John P. Lucas and was intended to outflank German forces of the Winter Line and enable an attack on Rome. The resulting combat is commonly called the Battle of Anzio. (Read the article on wikipedia).
Unfortunately, this is only a very small part of the cemetery.

Union Pacific SD40-2 No. 3626 idles in Salt Lake City on Aug. 23, 1992. It is one of three UP SD40-2s to wear the "Operation Redblock" scheme.
From UP.com: "Operation RedBlock began as a joint labor-management effort in the late 1970s in response to increased substance use among railroad employees. A local UP labor representative suggested that these employees should have the opportunity for rehabilitation rather than dismissal."
Traffic rolls on as 93M and it's lone Operation Lifesaver GP38-2 glide over Herr Street in downtown Harrisburg as they return to Harrisburg Yard from the Steelton Industrial Track.

Operation Barbarossa started on June 22nd, 1941, with the Germans rapidly invading the Soviet Union and decimating Soviet forces in virtually every battle. Hitler's plan was to conquer Eastern Europe for future German colonization called "Lebensraum". Ukraine was especially desired since at the time it was the breadbasket of Europe. When the Germans were conquering the Soviet Union, the Ukrainians and other peoples welcomed them as heroes because of the fact they "freed" them from communist oppression. The Holodomor was fresh in the average Ukrainians memory which was an artificial famine that killed millions and they were still resentful towards Stalin.
Two groups that wanted to take advantage of this moment was the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) which was into Italian fascism, was led by Andriy Melnik and the younger more violent OUN-B, was National Socialist which was led by Stepan Bandera. They originally existed because they were angry that Poland was "occupying" the province of Galicia which is claimed by both Poles and Ukrainians (even to this day).
However, the Ukrainians would learn that the Nazis were replacing one form of oppression with another. Hitler hated Slavic peoples and wanted them enslaved, "transferred" (possibly to Siberia) or at worst exterminated. When the OUN declared an independent Ukrainian state, that was shut down as quickly as possible. The Nazis committed atrocities against the Ukrainians which soon led to the growth of more partisan groups and led to some joining the Soviet army by the time they started "liberating" it from the Nazis.
In a last ditch effort, the Nazis freed imprisoned Ukrainian nationalist leader, Stepan Bandera to inspire the Ukrainians but that ultimately failed. Even during his imprisonment all the OUN-B did was mass murder Poles in the provinces of Galicia and Volhynia. Today he's seen as a controversial figure as he is popular in Western Ukraine which is full of Catholic Ukrainians and hated in Eastern Ukraine which is full of Orthodox Russians.

In organising this stealth operation times were agreed, watches synchronised and 4 troops would meet at the given time.
Officer Dixon and Fly by the seat of his pants Pedlar had assembled at the RV point, yet no signs of the other 2 soldiers.
Polite whistling was exchanged between OD & FP to while away a bit of time, but still no show.
So the two dedicated soldiers decided to put on their combat equipment, namely wellies and set off alone on this mission.
As the two soldiers were almost approaching the venue to be photographed, their attention was drawn to a lady several metres up the cliff face sitting at a table of the Port William pub, waving her arms in an uncoordinated manner, shouting “get up here, my glass is empty again, your round”.
So the two soldiers duly obliged where they joined Christine and Dave.
With glasses charged a thoroughly enjoyable 4 way conversation ensued in one of the most idyllic drinking locations on the north coast of Cornwall.
Following a whole load of banter it was felt while we were still able to walk we had better head down and see what we could load onto our memory cards at Trebarwith Strand.
So good to meet up again Christine, Dave and Mark.
Hope you all have a great weekend out there in Flickerland.
I so appreciate you viewing my photos and leaving the comments and banter

Almost done for the season! All the volunteers and most of the staff are finished for this year. Just the shippers remain, but have a break right now until January 7th. The remainder of all the shoebox gifts are destined for West Africa. We will start to ship on January 9th. I will be part of this, along with my son.
Happy New Year, my Flickr friends! I will be out of the country on a road trip until January 6th.
Paris. 2017
After last year’s terrorist attacks on Paris, the French government launched Operation Sentinelle, in which combat troops patrol streets and protect key sites around the cities. The now permanent presence of thousands of soldiers in full combat gear across Paris and major cities has transformed the image and mood of France.

Canadian Forces Snowbirds fly over Edmonton on their cross country tour to salute front line healthcare workers and all Canadians doing their part to fight the spread of Covid-19 - dubbed OPERATION INSPIRATION. Heather and I saw the CT-114 Tutors fly almost directly over our house at 14:37 in the Snowbird signature formation called BIG DIAMOND. Two days later, on May 17th, Snowbird 11 crashed shortly after takeoff in Kamloops, BC. We mourn the death of Captain Jenn Casey and hope for the speedy recovery of Captain Richard MacDougall.

Final part of Operation Alcatraz.
"You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world."- Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower.
80 years ago today, the largest land, air, and sea invasion in the history of the world took place. After years of careful planning and deception, the Allied powers began the invasion of Nazi occupied Europe. In the early morning hours of June 6th, 1944, American and British paratroopers descended from their planes into the towns of Normandy to secure strategic towns and bridges, while the Allied navy was transporting the ground forces across the English Channel. The Americans would land at Omaha and Utah beaches, while the British and Canadians would land at Gold, Sword, and Juno beaches. They were also accompanied by free French, Dutch, Greek, Norwegian, Polish, Czech and others from occupied nations. A total of 156,000 of allied troops would take part in the invasion.
Upon landing, the Allies would encounter fierce German resistance, and the defenses of the Atlantic Wall. Despite suffering heavy casualties, the landings were successful. The Germans did not expect landings at such a scale to take place in Normandy, and instead prepared for landings at Calais. Within months, much of France would be liberated, with few remaining German holdouts. By the end of the invasion, a total of 1.4 million allied troops would be in France, with more on the way. The success of the invasion would pave the way for the eventual end of the war against Nazi Germany.

Union Pacific Railroad Operation Lifesaver caboose at North Little Rock, Arkansas on July 31, 1986, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This car was known as EAST ONE when it was on the Missouri Pacific. Yeah, I know, I could have framed this shot better. I was not an invited guest, so I grabbed the shot from my car and moved on.

Bosch
Nació gracias al impulso del ferrocarril, En Febrero de 1892, el Medico Juan Manuel Bosch cedió una parte de sus campos en el partido de Balcarce para que se construyera una estación de ferrocarril que permitiese el traslado de cargas y pasajeros. Dicha estación perteneciente al Ferrocarril Sud, se encuentra entre las estaciones Balcarce y Ramos Otero. Ahora es un paraje con unas 4 a 5 viviendas, algunas de ellas portadas de estancias que se encuentran frente a la abandonada estación de ferrocarril. Se encuentra a 29 Kilómetros de Balcarce, con un tramo de tierra se accede desde la ruta Nº 55. También se accede desde la Ruta Nº 226, atravesando los “Cinco Cerros” y 18 km de tierra. Cerca de allí se encontraba la cantera “Punta Tota”, actualmente cerrada, donde se extraía Gneis (usado para el adoquinado de las calles) y mármol. Esta estación contaba con un Almacén de Ramos Generales frente a la estación (hoy cerrado) y cercano a la Escuela rural Nº 25 en funcionamiento y en tareas de remodelación

Bosch
It was born thanks to the impulse of the railroad, In February of 1892, the Doctor Juan Manuel Bosch gave a part of his fields in the party of Balcarce so that a railway station was built that allowed the transfer of loads and passengers. This station belonging to the Sud Railroad, is located between the stations Balcarce and Ramos Otero. Now it is a place with some 4 to 5 houses, some of them covered with rooms that are in front of the abandoned railway station. It is located 29 Kilometers from Balcarce, with a stretch of land accessed from Route No. 55. It is also accessed from Route No. 226, crossing the "Five Hills" and 18 km of land. Nearby was the quarry "Punta Tota", currently closed, where Gneis was extracted (used for the paving of the streets) and marble. This station had a general store in front of the station (now closed) and close to rural school No. 25 in operation and remodeling tasks

I was honoured by being named Brickworld Master last year and following in the footsteps of Arthur Gugick (who gave out scorpions last year for no apparent reason), I decided to do something to mark that occasion and pay tribute to some of the builders I look up to whose work has inspired me. I tried to combine a few of their iconic looks/builds into a single silly simon build. :)
I'll leave it up to you, intrepid reader, to try to figure what I stole from whom.
Intelligence obtained from Operation Blue Moon indicated that an exchange of radioactive material will be taking place in the Middle East in an area within the Russian sphere of influence. Additionally, intelligence suggested that the Russian arms dealer, codename Panther, will be personally at the exchange.
To capture the radioactive material and the High Value Individual Panther, a Victorian special operations task force was assigned with the operation. As soon as the task force arrived at the forward operating base Camp Oasis, they immediately made preparations for the upcoming operation.
