As much as I would have wanted the classic angle at Union Baptist Church in Dante, the angle of the sun wasn't going to allow it. While a tighter and altogether not as interesting scene, it still captures the feel of Appalachia railroading at this well-known spot. M893 creeps southward through town, with a meet with M692 planned at the south end of the Dante siding.
….. A popular N/Trust location in the Langdales in Cumbria, Blea Tarn is another honeypot for photographers - generally the other side of the fence is chosen from what I’ve seen - see first comment box! Alan:-)…..

Only one tree gets the glory up at the Quiraing, but as this shot from my archive shows, other trees are available!
After running some errands I wasn't planning on doing anything else for the day, but a hot tip about a daylight EDPL made me muster up enough motivation to go out. Here we see EDPL blasting south by CPR-33 in Deerfield, MA with a pair of GP40's powering the 35 car train. CPR-33 is one of the last interlockings on the Conn River that still uses B&M searchlight signals (the other being the southern home signal at CPF 385). As I type this post, EDPL is currently tied down on the Controlled Siding at CPR-1 in Springfield, where it will be capped with a Cab Signal equipped leader for the rest of their journey overnight to Plainville.
Unlike any other elfin, the Eastern Pine Elfin with its bold pattern of brown and white stripes that resembles a pine cone, is the only butterfly species that uses pines as the larval host plant, preferring the hard pines such as the Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda) or the Virginia Pine (Pinus virginiana).
As with other elfins, this butterfly is univoltine producing only one adult generation per year and flying only for a short time in early spring. Both the larvae and the adults are smartly colored to mimic the host plant to evade predators.
Right now, in the dead of winter, this species is a very small pupa trying to survive the harsh winter conditions. The adults will emerge sometime in spring.

After we photographed the Burrowing Owl the other day, we turned to put our gear in the car. A Turkey Vulture was flying in towards us and then landed in the middle of the road...right in front of the owl. It looked at us and slowly walked towards the owl's burrow. What the heck?! It approached the owl slowly and walked behind the burrow.
We were just in awe of watching this interaction. The owl didn't appear to be stressed, it seemed to just watch the vulture approach. I wondered if the vulture was looking for remnants of the owl's previous meal. I somehow just got the feeling this wasn't the first time for this behavior. It was so incredible to watch. The vulture finally spread its wings and flew over the fence and landed just on the other side. WOW. Nature is just so grand!!
Other frogs may be a lot more colourful, but I love the Borneo eared frog. Taken at a Just Frogs photo day with CaptiveLight in Bournemouth.

I suspect you are all gonna get a little bored of this scene over the next 12 months or so . This was looking t'other way. You do get a better snse of the blowing snow for some reason.
I have tried to clone out the gate but it looks a right dogs dinner. Maybe next time I should just open it!

Common Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) flight_w_9066
The common cuckoo is a member of the cuckoo order of birds, Cuculiformes, which includes the roadrunners, the anis and the coucals.. This species is a widespread summer migrant to Europe and Asia, and winters in Africa. It is a brood parasite, which means it lays eggs in the nests of other bird species, particularly of dunnocks, meadow pipits, and reed warblers.
I spotted these gerbera in a neighbour's garden and I love how it looks like one flower is gently wrapping it's petals around the other.
Seen in Explore on the Front Page on 12th March, 2009 - not picked by Scout - how does this work LOL??
Cleo rarely visits the world on the other side of the fence as usually she doesn't see any sense in summoning the energy for such an endeavor. It's not easy for a cat of her size to climb over a fence. She has a ladder on my side of the fence which makes it easier for her but there still remains the big question how to get back. The neighbour hasn't seriously considered yet to put a ladder on his side of the fence as well. When Cleo has ended up in the neighbouring garden and wants to return home she often rather walks around the neighbour's house and along the street to our front door where she has to wait until someone finally lets her in. As she can't reach the door bell that can take a while. If she is lucky a neighbour who sees her informs me that "the big cat" is waiting in front of the door. Cleo doesn't consider "big cat" as a compliment, btw. :) Happy Fence Friday !
I often stare at the flies and other insects that I come across, so I'm not surprised when I find them staring at me. It's only fair.... : )
Hope everyone has a fantastic Fly Day and a peaceful and enjoyable weekend!
For those in the USA that are starting their 4th of July celebrations early, be safe, and have fun! :)

North Pier is the most northerly of the three coastal piers in Blackpool, England. Built in the 1860s, it is also the oldest and longest of the three. Although originally intended only as a promenade, competition forced the pier to widen its attractions to include theatres and bars. Unlike Blackpool's other piers, which attracted the working classes with open air dancing and amusements, North Pier catered for the "better-class" market, with orchestra concerts and respectable comedians. Until 2011, it was the only Blackpool pier that consistently charged admission. Wikipedia
