Formerly killed in huge numbers for their fur, especially during the 1920s and ’30s, koalas dwindled in number from several million to a few hundred thousand. In the southern part of their range, they became practically extinct except for a single population in Gippsland, Victoria in Australia. Some were translocated onto small offshore islands, especially Phillip Island, where they did so well that these koalas were used to restock much of the original range in Victoria and southern New South Wales, Australia.
the little busy bee is on the way into the weekend but first needs to restock the food suplies in the "Friday Rose" 😃 Wishing everybody a sunny weekend ☀️ TGIF!

Getting the yard ready for summer! Restocking the pond.
Hopefully the raccoon, or whatever likes to go fishing in there and eat them all, will not be back this summer! We actually found ONE lonely fish that made it thru all fall, winter and spring without being fed! I think the neighbors all heard me shriek at Steve to turn off the pump we were using to empty the pond when I saw a fish had survived! I was so happy :) So now he has 12 new friends to make a perfect "Baker's Dozen!"
This is how the Royal Navy, and other navies, restock their ships at sea.

Macro Mondays - theme of August 3, 2020: Chocolate
[a heaped teaspoon of (sweetened) chocolate powder on top of frothed milk - width of this image: about 5 cm]
I couldn't do MM for ages now, but this theme was too enticing to skip another round - even though we don't have any chocolate at home right now (grrr - forgot to restock) ... but luckily my husband likes to drink hot chocolate and the chocolate powder somehow never runs out, lol :))
Happy Macro Mondays, everyone !!
[there are some problems with the Internet connection today - so I might be off and on for a while]

... heiße Schokolade ist wie eine Umarmung von innen ...
spontaner Entschluss, endlich mal wieder bei MM mitzumachen - das Thema war dann doch zu verlockend. Allerdings haben wir gerade keine Schokolade im Haus (grrr - vergaß, den Vorrat aufzufüllen) ... aber zum Glück trinkt mein Mann gerne heiße Schokolade und das Schokoladenpulver geht seltsamerweise irgendwie nie aus ;))
Einen fröhlichen Montag euch allen !!
With 1 clay and 2 soda cars, the 3 Yard job approaches Empire Junction with the boats running into the sun. The train will spot at the clay shed and bring back whatever empties they have and leave them at Queens for CN to pick up.
Thank you for helping us through these dark days and bringing us hope of spring. Counting my blessings No. 7 living in a world where there are so many people to thank.
Dan, the Lilliputian strong man has been tricked by his friends, he happily volunteered to restock the bar with soft drinks but little did he know that the cans belonged to Lemuel Gulliver! He stands at one and a quarter inches and the cans are nearly half his height.
It turns out I stored a lot of my film in my bag rather than waking it with me carry on - a big no no meaning that a lot of my film could have been damaged before I took a shot, let alone through seven flights to Scotland. So with that im not feeling too good, but at least have restocked all my film for iceland and will do so again for the USA.
Anyways, this was the last shot i captured with film and pretty much sums my mood.
Next comes "duck and cover".
We are still rambling around the southwest checking out the least populated and remote places we can get to. The only fly in the ointment is resupply of essentials. We managed to stock up on enough food to last another week before we need to look again. Our nearest settlement has a population of 300 on a busy day; the next big town has about 1800. Hopefully we can restock there.
Eventually we do have to return to ground zero; until then we are remote and isolated.
The round trip over the road is almost done for the day as the crew has the plant in site after clearing Escalante Jct. They'll spend the next few hours dumping the 40+ cars, getting it set up for tomorrow's run, and handling any mechanical needs that came up today. Hopefully they'll even set the caboose out on the service track so it can be restocked for the next run. 😉
Klineline Pond is routinely restocked with fish for the locals, including the birds. In fall and winter the Double-crested Cormorants hang around waiting for the bounty. There must be some kind of a bird internet, because when the ponds are actually stocked the number of cormorants goes up from four or five to a good 15 or so. This was a no-stock day.
Today's snow fall bought lots of birds to the garden and I was constantly restocking the feeders. This photo was taken from the kitchen window.
One from the archives, re-worked - this was Langley Park Lake after the big refurbishment of the lake, new path had been laid from the right-hand side and the lake emptied, dig out, refilled and restocked with fish. Lot of debris round the near end though.
Shot was taken on Nikon D300 with Tokina AT-X Pro 11-16mm with big stopper. Aperture f/22, ISO 200, 28 seconds exposure.
The Tokina was a very sharp lens in its day but maybe the tripod moved slightly as not quite as sharp as it should be here. But bear in mind we are 15 years on from then !!!
Stanier Jubilee Galatea with Alberta number on the cabside and Sierra Leone Namplates stands at Carlisle after arriving from Manchester. Introduced from 1934 in Staniers massive restocking of the LMS. Not an immediate success due to the use of low degree superheat and draughting proporions. Although mechanicaly superior to former L&Y. LNW and Midland types not much more boiler power than a Claughton. A good example of this was the up Thames Cylde Express. If a Scot was not available and a Jubilee or Patriot substituted then pilot assistance was required to Kilmarnock from Glasgow due to Neilston Bank. This was a regular occurance
The late shift - cleaning, repairs and restocking.

According to the UK Government:
Staff who regularly work at least 3 hours during the ‘night period’ are night workers.
The night period is 11pm to 6am, unless the worker and employer agree a different night period.
If they do, it must be 7 hours long and include midnight to 5am. It must be agreed in writing.
Staff may also be night workers if there’s a collective agreement (for example, trade union agreement) that states their work is night work.
The National Minimum Wage applies to night workers but there is not a higher night working rate.
Sleep-in shifts:
The number of hours that workers get paid the National Minimum Wage depends on whether they’re expected to sleep or work for most of their shift.
Workers who are expected to sleep for most of a sleep-in shift (for example, a care worker), and are provided with suitable sleeping facilities, will only get the National Minimum Wage for the periods when they’re awake to perform tasks.
Workers who are expected to work for most of a shift will get the National Minimum Wage for their whole shift, even if they’re allowed to sleep between tasks.

While exploring the West side road I ran into snow somewhere short of my destination of George Lake and frankly the road was boring me so I went back down to a cairn that I saw lower down. Shortly after entering my 'secret' trail is a sign that simply reads 'trail unmaintained'. I thought that it ended at Tahoma creek because there were no further signs until I saw the pink ribbon markers tied to downed trees leading to where it reenters the forest further up stream. The creek swallows it up on a few more occasions affording nice views to the mountain and then you come to this. I love finding things like this. At it's terminus is a sign signifying that it's the 'Tahoma Creek Trail, usage discouraged'. Once home I discovered that it is a major artery of the Emerald Ridge Loop, a connector to the Wonderland for restocking and a back door to Indian Henry's Hunting Grounds. Hello Washington Trails Association!
Blow it up and look around, pretty cool little scene.

A few weeks ago, I noticed that my neighborhood had sprouted a suggestion box. The cards and pens disappear quickly, but are restocked frequently. One clever bit is that there are two slots: a private one, guarded by a combination lock, and a public one that can be opened by anyone. Anyone can read all the public submissions, and that's most of the fun. It's a fascinating collection. My favorite so far is something like "Someone should figure out what the ants are up to over by that tree", to which someone else added a few choice words of agreement. (I haven't found the ants yet, but I'll keep looking.)
There's an sfzero.org tag on it, so it wasn't hard to track down the people who put it up. Their description uses typical modern art language, so it's a bit pretentious for my tastes, but I like the box and I've enjoyed chatting with people around it.
The two adults were sitting in trees this morning, and finally one of them decided it was hungry. It only caught a tender morsel though. I think most of the bit trout in this alpine lake are gone until they restock the lake in a few months. Zoom in to see the tiny trout in its talons. Zoom in all the way to see the expression on the poor trout's face.
Lake gets restocked with rainbow trout.
Double-crested cormorants follow and show up in big numbers . And White pelicans follow cormorants.
Cormorants can dive in catch the fish but pelicans can only scoop up the fish. So when a cormorant catches a big one it takes a bit of time for cormorants to align the fish properly and swallow which gives photographers to get some nice action shot and Pelicans to attack and rob off the fish.
Most of these cases pelicans win but in this case both lost, looked like fish was dropped back in the lake

A productive day spent in the kitchen trying to restock the freezer. By the end there were peanut butter cookies, pumpkin loaves, orange and cranberry muffins and blueberry muffins. Now to sit down with a coffee and have a quick taste test. After all I wouldn't want to keep anything that didn't meet standards.

Thank you always for your love. ;)
stopped at Walmart to restock of food and other necessities. on the way out I saw a small tree and loved the lingering leaves and their color. and oddly I began to think of friends and love, now gone... and hope perhaps someday we'll meet again. funny how thoughts creep in at very unexpected times. oh well, back to driving and more time to ponder.
I had a bit of free time today so thought I would spend it restocking the freezer. After all you never know if someone will drop by for a tea or coffee.

ENGLISH
On the evening of August 3, 1492, Columbus departed from Palos with three ships; one larger carrack, Santa María, nicknamed Gallega (the Gallician), and two smaller caravels, Pinta (the Painted) and Santa Clara, nicknamed Niña (the Girl). (The ships were never officially named). They were property of Juan de la Cosa and the Pinzón brothers (Martin Alonzo and Vicente Yáñez), but the monarchs forced the Palos inhabitants to contribute to the expedition. Columbus first sailed to the Canary Islands, which was owned by Castile, where he restocked the provisions and made repairs, and on September 6, he started what turned out to be a five-week voyage across the ocean.
Land was sighted at 2 a.m. on October 12, 1492, by a sailor named Rodrigo de Triana (also known as Juan Rodríguez Bermejo) aboard Pinta. (Columbus would claim the prize.) Columbus called the island (in what is now The Bahamas) San Salvador, although the natives called it Guanahani. Exactly which island in the Bahamas this corresponds to is an unresolved topic; prime candidates are Samana Cay, Plana Cays, or San Salvador Island (named San Salvador in 1925 in the belief that it was Columbus's San Salvador). The indigenous people he encountered, the Lucayan, Taíno or Arawak, were peaceful and friendly. In his journal he wrote of them, "It appears to me, that the people are ingenious, and would be good servants and I am of opinion that they would very readily become Christians, as they appear to have no religion." He also wrote of them, two days after landing, "I could conquer the whole of them with 50 men, and govern them as I pleased."

Cristóbal Colón, en representación de los Reyes Católicos de España, realizó cuatro famosos viajes desde Europa a América en 1492, 1493, 1498 y 1502. En el primero de ellos llegó a América el 12 de octubre de 1492, a una isla de las Bahamas llamada Guanahani, cuya exacta localización aún se discute. En el tercer viaje llegó a territorio continental en la actual Venezuela.
El primer viaje de Colón se inició en Palos de la Frontera, el 3 de agosto de 1492. La escuadra colombina estaba formada por las carabelas Pinta, Niña y Santa María. Para el equipamiento de las naves fue decisiva la colaboración de los hermanos Pinzón, que participaron también en el viaje. Colón se dirigió hacia las Canarias y desde la isla de Gomera se lanzó a la travesía del Atlántico (6 de septiembre). El 12 de octubre llegó a la isla Guanahaní (Walting, en las Bahamas), a la que llamó San Salvador. Arribó después a la isla de Cuba, bautizada con el nombre de Juana, y posteriormente a La Española. El 25 de diciembre encalló la carabela Santa María y con sus restos construyó un fuerte llamado Navidad, en el que dejó una pequeña guarnición. Con las dos naves restantes, la Pinta y la Niña, emprendió el viaje de retorno (16 de enero de 1493). Durante la travesía las dos naves se separaron. Colón llegó a Palos el 15 de marzo y marchó a Barcelona para informar a los reyes de su descubrimiento.
