The Blue Patch strong broken clouds create some odd colors in this beautiful sunset in North Carolina.
Patched - Both the sides and the roof of this old barn look to have been patched together over the years. It looks like there is more patching to do if this one is to survive.

In these here parts, this time of year, skies spend almost all of their time grey or rainy or both. But a brief interlude to the damp gloom this week drew me downtown to try to find some abstracts in the urban reflections.

The laughing kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae) is a bird in the kingfisher subfamily Halcyoninae. It is a large robust kingfisher with a whitish head and a dark eye-stripe. The upperparts are mostly dark brown but there is a mottled light-blue patch on the wing coverts. The underparts are white and the tail is barred with rufous and black. The plumage of the male and female birds is similar. The territorial call is a distinctive laugh that is often delivered by several birds at the same time, and is widely used as a stock sound effect in situations that involve a jungle setting.
The laughing kookaburra is native to eastern mainland Australia, but has also been introduced to parts of New Zealand, Tasmania, and Western Australia. It occupies dry eucalypt forest, woodland, city parks and gardens. This species is sedentary and occupies the same territory throughout the year. It is monogamous, retaining the same partner for life. A breeding pair can be accompanied by up to five fully grown non-breeding offspring from previous years that help the parents defend their territory and raise their young. The laughing kookaburra generally breeds in unlined tree holes or in excavated holes in arboreal termite nests. The usual clutch is three white eggs. The parents and the helpers incubate the eggs and feed the chicks. The youngest of the three nestlings or chicks is often killed by the older siblings. When the chicks fledge they continue to be fed by the group for six to ten weeks until they are able to forage independently.
A predator of a wide variety of small animals, the laughing kookaburra typically waits perched on a branch until it sees an animal on the ground and then flies down and pounces on its prey. Its diet includes lizards, insects, worms, snakes and are known to take goldfish out of garden ponds. (Wikipedia)
This bird seems happy to visit my back yard from time to time. This image was taken on an overcast winter afternoon.

The last controller you'll ever buy!
Did you ever wonder what would happen if one were to cross a crab with a controller? Yeah, probably not, but here we are regardless.
Compare this Willow Warbler with the one I posted yesterday which is a normal Spring Willow Warbler. This one I found on the patch at the same time ,its the palest Willow Warbler I think ive ever seen there are 3 possibilities really, and none are easy to determine. I have consulted an expert on the subject and the answer isn't clear. There is a possibility its a Northern race bird (Acredula) but this bird is paler than those , then it could be the Eastern Race (Yakutensis) which would be very rare but unfortunately there is also crossover between races. The other option and probably most likely , is its the normal race Willow Warbler (trochilus) but for some abnormal reason it has not moulted at all,in the winter and the plumage is so worn it has become almost washed out , as the feathers do look worn . Normal Spring Willow Warblers are prestine green and yellow which as you can see this bird isn't at all , so which race cannot from pictures be totally determined , but whatever it was it was a smart unusual Willow Warbler , like none ive seen before really, in 50 years of birding,also when it tried to sing , it was nothing like a Willow Warbler so possibly a 2nd cy bird that even has a aberant song.
Red-Bellied Woodpecker.
10 inches in length. Barred black and white above, pale buff below and on face. Sexes similar except that male has red crown and nape while female has red nape only. Reddish patch on lower abdomen seldom visible in the field.
Its habitat includes open and swampy woodlands. It also comes into parks during migration and feeders in winter.
It breeds from South Dakota, Great Lakes and southern New England south to the Gulf Coast and Florida. Northern most birds sometimes migrate south for the winter.

Patches swims by but keeps an eye out to make sure I am taking her photo.
(Sorry to have been away, we had a horrible ice storm and lost electricity for three days.)
Really neat cab detail on 1747; You can see the 4701 number that was applied when it was first painted in Family Lines for SCL after rebuilding, the SBD patch that came next, two sets of sublettering for CSX and CSXT with 1747 in their font, and finally the CWCY sublettering.

My wife spent this summer sewing patches onto a jean jacket and I think the results are pretty nice. I have to track down a few more patches to get it looking perfect.
We met last night and we shared precious moments together and our common friend theepa did bad photography for us.
I would like to thank all of you my friends who did the magic to let us realize our mistake. Love you all
