Climbing the hill out of Livingston. Power was the typical hodge podge of company and leased locomotives, this time all pointed west.
Interesting fallen flag hopper too.

Here's another little bird I wouldn't have bothered with till my birder friends Pekabo and W9 pointed it out: Purple Finch, way up there in the dead pine needles, a first for me. If you click on the image, it still has some better detail viewed large.
Sweet pointed peppers, as the name suggests, are thin and pointed and come in an array of colours and flavours. Unlike the chilli pepper from the same Solanaceae plant family, pointed peppers can be incredibly sweet and mild in heat, similar to the commonly grown bell pepper but with a thinner skin.

Australasian Darter
Anhinga novaehollandiae
Anhingidae
Description: The Darter is a large, slim water bird with a long snake-like neck, sharp pointed bill, and long, rounded tail. Male birds are dark brownish black with glossy black upperwings, streaked and spotted white, silver-grey and brown. The strongly kinked neck has a white or pale brown stripe from the bill to where the neck kinks and the breast is chestnut brown. Females and immatures are grey-brown above, pale grey to white below, with a white neck stripe that is less distinct in young birds. The Darter is often seen swimming with only the snake-like neck visible above the water, or drying its wings while perched on a tree or stump over water. While its gait is clumsy on land, it can soar gracefully to great heights on thermals, gliding from updraft to updraft. It has a cross-shaped silhouette when flying.
Distribution: In Australia, the Darter is found from Adelaide, South Australia, to Tennant Creek, Northern Territory and then to Broome, Western Australia. it is also found in south-western Australia, from Perth to Esperance. Worldwide, it has been thought of as one of two mainAnhinga species (the other, A. anhinga, is found in North America), found in the southern half of Africa, Madagascar, Iraq, Pakistan, India, south-east Asia, Indonesia and New Guinea. However, A. melanogaster is now considered to be further divided into three species, with rufa being found in Africa, melanogaster in south Asia and novaehollandiae in New Guinea and Australia (the Australasian Darter).
Habitat: The Darter is found in wetlands and sheltered coastal waters, mainly in the Tropics and Subtropics. It prefers smooth, open waters, for feeding, with tree trunks, branches, stumps or posts fringing the water, for resting and drying its wings. Most often seen inland, around permanent and temporary water bodies at least half a metre deep, but may be seen in calm seas near shore, fishing. The Darter is not affected by salinity or murky waters, but does require waters with sparse vegetation that allow it to swim and dive easily. It builds its nests in trees standing in water, and will move to deeper waters if the waters begin to dry up.
Feeding: The Darter catches fish with its sharp bill partly open while diving in water deeper than 60 cm. The fish is pierced from underneath, flicked onto the water's surface and then swallowed head first. Smaller items are eaten underwater and large items may be carried to a convenient perch and then swallowed. Insects and other aquatic animals, including tortoises, may also be eaten, as well as some vegetable matter. In hot weather, adult birds may pour water from their bills into the gullets of their young chicks when they are still in the nest.
Breeding: The Darter is usually a solitary bird, forming pairs only while breeding. Breeding is erratic, happening whenever water levels and food supplies are suitable, but most often occurs in spring and summer. Nests are usually solitary, but Darters may nest within loose colonies with other water birds that nest in trees, such as cormorants, spoonbills and ibis. The male decorates a nest-site with green leafy twigs and displays to attract a mate, with elaborate wing-waving and twig-grasping movements. The male carries most of the nest material to the nest-site, which is normally in the fork of a tree standing in water, usually about 3.5 m above the water's surface. Both sexes complete the nest, incubate the eggs and raise the young. Chicks are kept warm by brooding continously (or cooled down by shading with spread wings) for up to a week after hatching and both adults stay in the nest with the chicks overnight. In hot weather, the adults will even shake water over the chicks after a swim. Chicks can swim after about four weeks in the nest and start to fly at about 50 days.

This was shot at a pine plantation in Jarrahdale, Western Australia earlier this morning. With the Milky Way directly overhead there was a lot of sky to cover, hence the number of shots it took for this image. There are no Magellanic Clouds in this one as I pointed my camera in the other direction, towards the city of Perth, using the light pollution to silhouette the pine trees. The dirt road was light painted using a hand held spotlight (which took several attempts to NOT light the surrounding trees). The location itself is only 20km (12mi) from the outskirts of the city.
With the colder weather arriving, I've been bit again by the knitting bug and decided to take a stab at some fingerless mittens (always good for photographers). :-) Here's the beginning of the first one, as I'm just getting started...
These will be long (several inches up the arm) and have just a thumb hole, so easy access to camera controls. I can't wait to finish them and try them out (gotta hurry and finish them before the "s" stuff arrives... they won't be warm enough then).

Next to the Kurkimäki wood loading terminal, Fenniarail's timber train to Kouvola is ready to leave after the train has been shunted from the loading platform on the waiting track number 003. Despite it being rainy and wet, the powerful locomotive is determined to haul the train even through the darkness.
The largest species of booby, the masked booby ranges from 75 to 85 cm (30 to 33 in) long, with a 160–170 cm (63–67 in) wingspan and 1.2–2.2 kg (2.6–4.9 lb) weight. It has a typical sulid body shape, with a long pointed bill, long neck, aerodynamic body, long slender wings and pointed tail. The adult is bright white with dark wings and a dark tail.
The sexes have similar plumage with no seasonal variation, but females are on average slightly heavier and larger than males. The bare skin around the face, throat and lores is described either as black or blue-black. It contrasts with the white plumage and gives a mask-like appearance.
The bill of the nominate subspecies is pale yellow with a greenish tinge, sometimes greyish at the base. Conical in shape, the bill is longer than the head and tapers to a slightly downcurved tip. Backward-pointing serrations line the mandibles. The primaries, secondaries, humerals and rectrices are brown-black. The inner webs of the secondaries are white at the base. The underwing is white except for the brown-black flight-feathers that are not covered by the white coverts.

The Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) bid farewell to Vulcan XH558 as it roared above the World’s largest military air show in its final display season.
Tens of thousands of cameras pointed skywards myself included as the cold war delta winged bomber saluted the RIAT crowd one last time escorted by the Red Arrows.
we were challenged to take one shot only. this was ideal as the day was busy. i pointed the camera at him and waited. I even yawned at him, and then........
this is sooc.
I dashed out the door with camera pointed upward, when my husband alerted me that Sandhill Cranes were calling in the distant sky. I could not get all of the birds into the shot, but there were approximately 70-80.
The Lions are a pair of pointed peaks (West Lion - 1,646 m (5,400 ft);[1] East Lion - 1,606 m (5,269 ft))[2] along the North Shore Mountains in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. They can be seen from much of the Greater Vancouver area, as far as Robert Burnaby Park in East Burnaby, south to parts of Surrey, and from the west on the Howe Sound Islands and the Sunshine Coast. Along with the Lions Gate Bridge named in their honour, these twin summits have become one of the most recognizable Vancouver landmarks. The city's BC Lions CFL football team is also named in their honour. Lions Gate Entertainment which was founded in Vancouver in July, 1997 is also named for the peaks. Wikipedia
Despite their pointed spines and the rugged landscape where they tend to grow, the agave has always been my favorite desert plant. It has a poise and elegance of a lotus blossom with, what I would consider, one of the most beautiful colors of the surrounding botany. Those silver blue-green leaves sing against the backdrop of red rocks in Sedona, Arizona.
A couple of weeks later, went back with a friend Nicole from the Melbourne Camera Club. We spent a while with this guy, he was all over the place but preferred to be in the undergrowth, protected. Probably a good idea because sometimes there was a row of cameras and phones pointed at him. It was quite dark in there.
With long slender neck and straight, pointed bill (like the cormorant) it hunts for fish while its body is submerged in water. It spears a fish underwater, bringing it above the surface, tossing and juggling it before swallowing the fish head first. The body remains submerged as it swims, and the slender neck alone is visible above the water, which accounts for the colloquial name of snakebird. Like the cormorants, it has wettable feathers and it is often found perched on a rock or branch with its wings held open to dry.
