My reliable bougainvilleas which faithfully burst out with beautiful pink bracts every summer decide to take a break this year. Have done nothing different and no clue what's happening. Suggestions welcome.
Reliable sources mentioned today, that Gustaf took an evening off........
He was seen standing at Tranquil Bay watching the view for quite a while, before he started to fish.

This is a break wall that runs the entire length of the causeway between Apalachicola and St. George's Island in the panhandle of Florida. The intent is to keep high water from washing over the highway but it doesn't appear to be very reliable.. It has seen it's fair share of storms already...

This lovely rooster, the ultimate morning person, was a reliable alarm clock while we were visiting. He loved to greet the new day at Zero Dark Thirty each morning.
I keep this in the silverware drawer to use almost daily on jars or lids or other such frustrating things. I think this makes me much more gentle than tossing something across the room, don't you?
Back after I ask my significant other what the proper name of this is, if you're interested.
Ah, a pair of duck-billed pliers with which to grip, bend, and twist small things. Small enough for my smallish hand.
This is Mia, a grown-up female dog which looks kind and friendly. She is indeed, but not to the people whose faces are new to her. Once she sees any strangers enter the front gate from her shelter, which is located just a few meters away from it, she will angrily and continuously bark loud to notify her master of the presence of possible intruders.

The Port Authority Building (Dutch: Havenhuis), or the Port House, is a government building located in Antwerp, Belgium, built between 2009 and 2016.
It is located near the area of Eilandje, in the Port of Antwerp, and acts as the new headquarters of the Antwerp Port Authority, housing various departments.
Designed by Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, the building opened in 2016, the year of her death. It is the sole government building designed by Hadid. The design of the building incorporates the use of a fire station, integrating it into the building. Attached above and connected to the fire station is a contemporary diamond-shaped structure marked by straight edges, with an additional column providing support from the floor.
The building houses approximately 500 employees, and acts as a meeting place for international contacts of the Antwerp port community. According to the Antwerp Port Authority, the building is meant to "symbolise the dynamic, reliable, ambitious and innovative nature" of the Port of Antwerp.
Not long ago, the Willow Emerald Damselfly had only been reliably recorded in the UK on 2 occasions, in 1979 and 1992. A single individual was then recorded in south-east Suffolk during 2007, followed in 2009 by a sudden boom of 400 records of the species from this same general area. Since this time, the Willow Emerald has spread rapidly across the south-east of England, gaining footholds in new counties on a yearly basis. The natural colonisation and spread of this damselfly in the UK is incredible.
Willow Emerald Damselfly females lay eggs into the bark of trees; these eggs overwinter and then with the coming of spring they hatch and the larva falls into the water below.
This was my first sighting of a Willow Emerald Damselfly, seen clinging for life on a Sallow twig in 40mph gusts of wind in Suffolk. My thanks to Sue Gough, a talented guide for Naturetrek, who told me where to look.
… Reliable sources report the Twins were seen watering their horse close to where these 3 columns still stand, circa 496 BCE :-)
When I used to work afternoons, I would regularly check before I left what L505, a Sarnia-Battle Creek train, had for power. The train was a magnet for what crews would consider garbage, this often meant old standard cabs and barns would end up on the train. After working Flint and Durand, L505 is back on the move heading for Battle Creek as they pass through Morrice past the former Meal-N-More elevator that has long been gone, now only a memory like most of the barns.
According to a reliable source, the previous owners of this home rented out the property as an airbnb. It was completely renovated from top to bottom and sold ready for new owners that would appreciate its beauty....I have featured the outdoor patio area because it serves as some very usable living space. As shown, it makes for a great garden area....and it looks like someone has already started planting some roots...

Thanks for the continued support! Be safe, be happy....Wishing you all a great week ahead!! 😊
Always a reliably beautiful bloom! One of the favourites in our garden. I love the colours of the newly opened, juvenile flowers.
Saint Nestor the Chronicler c. 1056 – c. 1114, in Principality of Kyiv, Kyivan Rus') was the reputed author of the Primary Chronicle (the earliest East Slavic letopis) Life of the Venerable Theodosius of the Kyiv Caves, and Account about the Life and Martyrdom of the Blessed Passion Bearers Boris and Gleb.
In 1073 CE, Nestor became a monk of the Monastery of the Caves in Kyiv. The only other detail of his life that is reliably known is that he was commissioned with two other monks to find the relics of St. Theodosius of Kyiv, a mission which he fulfilled successfully. It is also speculated that he supported the reigning prince Svyatopolk II, and his pro-Slavic party disliked Greek influence in Kyiv.

Chevron Gas Station in Ghost Town of Nelson, Nevada
Located in southern end of Nevada, in El Dorado Canyon in Clark County, Nevada.
The area known as Nelson was originally called Eldorado in 1775, by the original discoveries of gold in the area that is now Eldorado Canyon. The town was the site of one of the first major gold strikes in Nevada and one of the biggest mining booms in state history. Gold and silver were discovered here around 1859. The rush to the canyon began in 1861.
The community called Nelson was named for Charles Nelson, a camp leader.
One of my first shots with my new X-E2 (with a reliable prime lens mounted). This is a second hand camera, seven years old (16MP). I am going to fine-calibrate this camera for monochrome JPEGs. The first attempt looks promising. And this is said by somebody who can't be persuaded easily - as you can clearly see.
This is my favorite formation in the slickrock area near Page, AZ. I've posted a couple of shots of it before.
The erosion patterns are so elaborate and complex. And the color is lovely.
An expensive car is buried in the large snow bank. It spent some time under the thick layer of snow, enjoying the music. The radio antenna is the only part of the car free and, presumably, workable. It's the end of March now. The car will be finally free of snow in a week or so, and the owner will get it to the service station or maybe to the scrap-yard. If there still is the owner. Black and white version. I don't know whether it is an example of surreality, a pattern of urban horror or just a case of I-don't-give-a-hoot?
Just finished a big week of concerts and spent yesterday racing from a sunrise in Laguna Beach out to Death Valley for a sunset attempt. I was tempted to get right into processing those shots, but I thought I would pause and take a look back first at my ever growing backlog of photos. I still have quite a pile from my trip up to the Columbia River Gorge from last May, and Spirit Falls was definitely one of the big highlights of the trip. A big shoutout again to Ryan Engstrom without whom we would have never found this particular set of Falls. To this day, I have no clear idea where these falls were located other than they were on the Washington side of the gorge. We were racing against the clock as our daylight was disappearing fast and suddenly Ryan yelled for us to pull over at a non descript pullout. From where we pulled over, we could hear no sound of running water, and off to the side of the road there was simply a jumble of boulders and scraggly looking trees. We all thought Ryan had lost it at that point. But trusting Ryan, (who had been pretty reliable so far), the four of us plunged over the ravine, and the spot Ryan led us to was easily one of the most gorgeous locations I've ever seen.
Our time shooting down there was very short, but I definitely want to return there soon. I just hope I can find it again on my next visit.

Corymbia ficifolia, commonly known as the red flowering gum, is a species of small tree that is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It has rough, fibrous bark on the trunk and branches, egg-shaped to broadly lance-shape adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, bright red, pink or orange flowers and urn-shaped fruit. It has a restricted distribution in the wild but is one of the most commonly planted ornamental eucalypts. Corymbia ficifolia grows in sandy soil in low forest on slopes and is restricted to a sub-coastal distribution south-east of Perth, east of Mount Frankland, Walpole and the Stirling Range. Red-flowering gum is one of the most widely cultivated of all eucalypts, both in Australia and overseas. It is best suited to temperate districts with low summer rainfall and is rarely reliable on the east coast of Australia. 47252
On this particular day, if there was one thing I could count on, it was the sun to light up the sky for a lovely sunset. It did not disappoint. Wish you were there too...

Tennessee. 4/15/2016. This species can reliably be found in areas of briars in an area just west of Cookeville. The white wing bars have hints of yellow which is not unusual for this species. This bright male is living up to it's name better than many, showing a nice blue tone to the wings, and dorsal tail feathers. I find this species much easier to photograph when using a blind.
Robin - Erithacus rubecula
Our ever reliable Little Robin...
Double click image.
The European robin (Erithacus rubecula), known simply as the robin or robin redbreast in the British Isles, is a small insectivorous passerine bird, specifically a chat, that was formerly classified as a member of the thrush family (Turdidae) but is now considered to be an Old World flycatcher.
The robin occurs in Eurasia east to Western Siberia, south to Algeria and on the Atlantic islands as far west as the Azores and Madeira. It is a vagrant in Iceland. In the south-east, it reaches the Caucasus range. Irish and British robins are largely resident but a small minority, usually female, migrate to southern Europe during winter, a few as far as Spain. Scandinavian and Russian robins migrate to Britain and western Europe to escape the harsher winters. These migrants can be recognised by the greyer tone of the upper parts of their bodies and duller orange breast. The European robin prefers spruce woods in northern Europe, contrasting with its preference for parks and gardens in Ireland and Britain.
Attempts to introduce the European robin into Australia and New Zealand in the latter part of the 19th century were unsuccessful. Birds were released around Melbourne, Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington and Dunedin by various local acclimatisation societies, with none becoming established. There was a similar outcome in North America as birds failed to establish after being released in Long Island, New York in 1852, Oregon in 1889–1892, and the Saanich Peninsula in British Columbia in 1908–1910.
The robin is diurnal, although has been reported to be active hunting insects on moonlit nights or near artificial light at night. Well known to British and Irish gardeners, it is relatively unafraid of people and drawn to human activities involving the digging of soil, in order to look out for earthworms and other food freshly turned up. Indeed, the robin is considered to be a gardener's friend and for various folklore reasons the robin would never be harmed. In continental Europe on the other hand, robins were hunted and killed as with most other small birds, and are more wary.
Robins also approach large wild animals, such as wild boar and other animals which disturb the ground, to look for any food that might be brought to the surface. In autumn and winter, robins will supplement their usual diet of terrestrial invertebrates, such as spiders, worms and insects, with berries and fruit. They will also eat seed mixtures placed on bird-tables.
The robin features prominently in British folklore, and that of northwestern France, but much less so in other parts of Europe. It was held to be a storm-cloud bird and sacred to Thor, the god of thunder, in Norse mythology. Robins feature in the traditional children's tale, Babes in the Wood; the birds cover the dead bodies of the children.
More recently, the robin has become strongly associated with Christmas, taking a starring role on many Christmas cards since the mid 19th century. The robin has appeared on many Christmas postage stamps. An old British folk tale seeks to explain the robin's distinctive breast. Legend has it that when Jesus was dying on the cross, the robin, then simply brown in colour, flew to his side and sang into his ear in order to comfort him in his pain. The blood from his wounds stained the robin's breast, and thereafter all robins got the mark of Christ's blood upon them.
An alternative legend has it that its breast was scorched fetching water for souls in Purgatory.
The association with Christmas more probably arises from the fact that postmen in Victorian Britain wore red jackets and were nicknamed Robins, the robin featured on the Christmas card is an emblem of the postman delivering the card.
In the 1960s, in a vote publicised by The Times, the robin was adopted as the unofficial national bird of the UK.
In 2015, the robin was again voted Britain's national bird in a poll organised by birdwatcher David Lindo, taking 34% of the final vote.
Getting the chance to turn back the clock on a Class 1 is always a treat, especially on a former flagship route like CSX’s ex-L&N lines from Cincinnati, OH to Knoxville, TN (via Corbin, KY), which has become yet another example of routes that have fallen on the sword of traffic contraction and network consolidation. On this day, the chance was CSX’s Queensgate-Winchester turn L348-11, seen here blazing past the searchlight signals for the disused south-end double track at Robinson, KY with three GP40 variants and 27 cars for Winchester’s Patio Yard.
