Persistent fog is starting to lose its battle with rising pleasant temperatures as CSX westbound empty ethanol train K677 (Baltimore - Chicago/CN) digs into the hill at Philson as it works its way up Sand Patch in its effort to conquer the Alleghenies. Despite shooting directly into the sun here, I will make do with any train I can given traffic levels can be somewhat sporadic on Sand Patch. With intel that said preferred light eastbounds were few and far between, I did what I could with K677.

I have seen this tropical species in both 2017 and 2019 now at Clifton Gardens. This particular shot was taken in a ledge with a big moray (clipped in bottom right corner of shot) - perhaps the goby wasn't big enough to count as an entree? Note it's P nuchifasciata on FoA but WoRMS confirms P nuchfasciatus
Though North America is a full month into astronomical spring, the Great Lakes have been slow to give up on winter. As of April 22, 2014, the Great Lakes were 33.9 percent ice covered. The lake they call Superior dominated the pack.
In the early afternoon on April 20, 2014, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this natural-color image of Lake Superior, which straddles the United States–Canada border. At the time Aqua passed over, the lake was 63.5 percent ice covered, according to the NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab (GLERL). Averaged across Lake Superior, ice was 22.6 centimeters (8.9 inches) thick; it was as much as twice that thickness in some locations.
GLERL researcher George Leshkevich affirmed that ice cover this spring is significantly above normal. For comparison, Lake Superior had 3.6 percent ice cover on April 20, 2013; in 2012, ice was completely gone by April 12. In the last winter that ice cover grew so thick on Lake Superior (2009), it reached 93.7 percent on March 2 but was down to 6.7 percent by April 21.
Average water temperatures on all of the Great Lakes have been rising over the past 30 to 40 years and ice cover has generally been shrinking. (Lake Superior ice was down about 79 percent since the 1970s.) But chilled by persistent polar air masses throughout the 2013-14 winter, ice cover reached 88.4 percent on February 13 and 92.2 percent on March 6, 2014, the second highest level in four decades of record-keeping.
Air temperatures in the Great Lakes region were well below normal for March, and the cool pattern is being reinforced along the coasts because the water is absorbing less sunlight and warming less than in typical spring conditions. The graph below, based on data from Environment Canada, shows the 2014 conditions for all of the Great Lakes in mid-April compared to the past 33 years.
Lake Superior ice cover got as high as 95.3 percent on March 19. By April 22, it was reported at 59.9 percent; Lake Huron was nearly 30.4 percent. News outlets noted that as many as 70 ships have been backed up in Lakes Michigan, Huron, and Erie, waiting for passage into ports on Lake Superior. The U.S. Coast Guard has been grouping ships together into small convoys after they pass through locks at Sault Ste. Marie, in order to maximize ice-breaking efficiency and to protect ships from damage.
Superior is the world’s largest freshwater lake by area (82,100 square kilometers or 31,700 square miles) and the third largest by volume. The waters average 147 meters (483 feet) in depth, and the basin is believed to hold about 10 percent of the world’s liquid fresh water.

Title: Rey and Jerry Wood Canoeing the Wakulla River
Date of film: ca. 1940
Physical descrip: 6:20; color; silent
Local call number: V-259; BA436
General note: This film shows a couple paddling what appears to be a homemade boat or canoe. According to the film’s intertitles, the couple is Rey and Jerry Wood, “two youthful adventurers paddling their way from California to New York City.” The film shows the pair paddling through the “scenic jungle” of the Wakulla River and into Wakulla Springs. Promoter and expert swimmer Newt Perry dives from a high platform into the spring. He swims to the boat and invites Jerry to take a dip. Jerry removes his pants to reveal a bathing suit and dives in. Newt Perry offers Jerry his diving mask, and they take turns going under water until Jerry returns to the boat, giving thanks and waving goodbye.
Rey and Jerry paddle back onto the river and through lush, tree-canopied areas. Jerry smokes his pipe as they paddle through swampy grasses. The last intertitle reads, “They reluctantly paddle down the river to the gulf and more adventure carrying with them plenty of material for a chapter on the Wakulla Springs in their new book.”

Rascón europeo
(Rallus aquaticus)
Difícil de observar —al igual que ocurre con sus cercanas parientes las polluelas—, el rascón europeo se detecta principalmente por su canto; no obstante, resulta algo más fácil descubrir su presencia que la de las polluelas, pues nada con mayor frecuencia en aguas abiertas en busca de alimento o bien se posa en los matorrales que limitan los humedales donde se instala. Se trata de un rálido relativamente habitual en nuestro país, ya que cría en buena parte de los humedales peninsulares y de Baleares y alcanza una cierta densidad en algunas localidades de Andalucía occidental.
Descripción y Clasificación
Orden Gruiformes; familia Rallidae
Longitud 22-28 cm. Envergadura 38-45 cm.
Identificación
Muy similar a las polluelas en el diseño, el rascón se diferencia de aquellas por su tamaño más voluminoso, así como por la posesión de un largo pico de color rojo intenso. Ambos adultos resultan muy similares —las hembras algo menores y con el pico más corto—, y en ellos la coloración de las regiones dorsales es pardo-olivácea con los centros de las plumas negruzcos, en tanto que la cara, la frente, el pecho y el vientre muestran una tonalidad gris-azulada oscura. Los flancos aparecen listados
de blanco y negro, mientras que las infracoberteras caudales resaltan vivamente por su llamativo color blanco (dibujo 1). Los jóvenes, por su parte, aunque muy similares en las zonas dorsales a los adultos, presentan el pecho más marrón, así como abundantes barrados y moteados en las regiones inferiores, por lo que, en conjunto, muestran una coloración más parda; asimismo, poseen el pico menos rojizo (dibujo 2). Reacio a volar —como los otros componentes del grupo—, cuando se eleva
sobre el agua o la vegetación palustre, con aleteos rápidos y las patas colgantes, se desplaza únicamente trechos cortos.
Canto
Emite una gran variedad de voces a modo de gemidos, gruñidos y notas quejumbrosas, a veces similares a una explosión de chillidos estridentes que inmediatamente quedan ahogados y convertidos en un guip-guip-guip rápido y persistente

This is my mother. I´m trying to push myself to use different people in my photographs, something that can be rather scary when you´re used to having all the control yourself. I think the hardest part is to direct the model, but with this I had the picture clear in my head, and that always makes it much easier.
I have had no luck finding a plant growing out of a rock, it's too early for most plants here. So this is a weed growing between the concrete edgers of my garden.

Dans son autobiographie, La Vie secrète de Salvador Dali, l’auteur explique qu’un soir, ayant fini son repas par un camembert coulant, il s’est intéressé «aux problèmes posés par le «super mou»
Dali annule la fonction première d’une montre qui est d’indiquer l’heure et de voir l’écoulement du temps.
Elles symbolisent donc l’inutilité de mesurer le temps.
Dali suggère de se libérer des contraintes matérielles et de la rigidité du monde en se libérant du temps qui passe.
Sans montre, le temps devient éternel et tout devient possible
comme dans les rêves.

"Persistent legend"
Village de Lanslevillard (Savoie - Vallée de la Maurienne)
The dahu (sometimes spelled dahut) is an imaginary wild animal living in mountainous areas, the environment that affected his physical evolution over generations. The existence of dahu is usually mentioned in rural and joke with particularly naïve individuals and citizens unfamiliar with the mountain fauna. (from Wikipedia).
Le dahu (parfois orthographié dahut) est un animal sauvage imaginaire vivant dans les zones montagneuses, environnement qui a influé sur son évolution physique au fil des générations. L'existence du dahu est généralement évoquée en milieu rural et par plaisanterie auprès de personnes particulièrement naïves et de citadins peu au fait de la faune montagnarde.
