Fenniarail's timber train from Kurkimäki has started it journey to Kouvola, and it is approaching the small town of Suonenjoki. As the train crosses the local waters, it gives a quick addition to the dominating colour green.

This is the original George. Georgina looks so much like him I got them confused. He is a big boar now, not quite as large as Brutus, most bears aren't. Any desire to get the low off the water pov was quickly diminished when our eyes met...too bad that would have made such a good shot :)

Quick visit to Arcot to let someone I know try out my setup as he is wanting to upgrade, would be a crime not to take a shot whilst there
I found this RTH while looking for migratory birds i.e. warblers etc. There are three colors of the RTH in Washington State. The typical, Dark Morph and the Rufus. I have been lucky enough to photograph all three. The Rufus and and Dark Morph are not as frequently seen as the typical and I was thrilled to find this one. I quickly forgot about not finding any migratory song birds. :-)
I put out a hanging flower pot in the back deck and today I quickly snapped these guys (one in the bottom could be a young male or female). Tomorrow I will try to take my time and ensure my exposure etc are set right, so I can avoid the grain (below) and darkness (above) ..
Thanks to my friend Janet (aka Dark Spinner) for her continous encouragements in my photography in general (also for those helpful hummingbird tips). I told you I'll have some hummingbird for you later.

Wig style is based on this picture www.zerochan.net/880850 in different color but I'll make another one in same color when the fur shipment arrives "yep I'm a fan of Tsubasa Amaha"
items you most need:
1- Socks "color is close to skin tone" (made of thin and stretchable fabric )
2- White glue
3- Hair (either fur, heat resistance fiber, human hair etc..)
4- tooth pick
5- scissors (preferably micro tip one )
See the steps in the picture below
For the hard cap:
1- warp the head with plastic warp and tie it with rubber band to hold it in place (so it won't get dirty)
2- Insert the head inside the sock
3- Stretch the sock around the head evenly and tie it with rubber band to hold it in place
4- Now coat the head with white glue and wait for it to dray and then coat it again (at least do 3-5 coats)
5-Then by using pencil draw the cap shape then cut it
We have been getting hit with a series of "bomb cyclones" the past few days bringing in heavy rains and high winds. On the brighter side though between each storm we get a few moments of the most beautiful light. You just have to be quick to catch it is all
This prominent vantage point and strategic site was quickly recognised by the Normans, who built a huge timber fortress here by 1100 AD. Originally built by Robert de Toeni, (later known as Robert of Stafford),
in the Norman period, Stafford Castle has dominated the local skyline for over 900 years.
In the years shortly after the Norman invasion of 1066, William the Conqueror is believed to have ordered defences to be built against a still hostile and rebellious native community. The fortunes of the castle and its owners, the Stafford family, fluctuated greatly.
An impressive example of the motte and bailey system, Stafford Castle enjoyed mixed fortunes throughout the medieval period. In the 14th century Ralph, a founder member of the Order of the Garter, became the1st Earl of Stafford. He ordered the building of a stone keep on top of the motte in 1347 and the following year was granted a licence to crenellate and so constructed the battlements.
In 1444 Humphrey Stafford was created Duke of Buckingham and the castle entered its heyday. By the early 17th century however the condition of the castle had deteriorated and during the English Civil War the Parliamentary Committee in Stafford ordered it to be demolished.
By the early 17th century, the castle's fortunes waned. During the early part of the Civil War it was defended by the Gallant Lady Isabel but was eventually abandoned and demolished. Extensively rebuilt in the Gothic Revival Style in 1813, the castle fell into ruin through this century. Rebuilt by the Jerningham family in the early 19th Century using the same foundations the keep was again a magnificent four storey structure. However, given over to caretakers and then abandoned again in the 1950s it became derelict once more.
Now after recent restoration work and a programme of archaeological investigation Stafford Castle is considered one of the best surviving examples of Norman earthworks in the country. A programme of archaeological excavations has gradually revealed many of its secrets. Visitors can follow an informative trail of interpretation panels to discover the castle's history. Today, the remains of the castle, together with the surrounding grounds, give visitors a fascinating insight to the 900 year history of this important site.
An inventory taken in 1537 shows how herbs were an important part of daily life at Stafford Castle. They were widely used for their medicinal, aromatic and edible properties. From this detailed inventory, a herb garden was planted in the castle grounds. Great faith was placed in the use of herbs and they still have an important role to play today. This garden has been designed with sixteen beds, each containing herbs related to specific illnesses. As well as being extremely enjoyable to walk around, the herb garden provides a unique insight into living history.
so lucky to find this open stall in a market to buy this (GUESS WHAT IT IS) for a quick repair of my back pack. costs USD10cents
Quickly, bring me a beaker of wine, so that I may wet my mind and say something clever.

I stood out in the cold waiting for this shot for about 30 minutes with my camera in position, focused and ready to shoot as soon as the color appeared. The color only lasted about 3-4 minutes before it was gone and the clouds turned dark and grey. It was a "Quick Sunset" but well worth the wait.
