... That big diesel motor is a playing my song Thank God and Greyhound you're gone... Have always enjoyed that old Roy Clark song. Wonderful recreation of the Heath Springs bus station. Unclear if this was the original station, however very nice right now.
This shot reminds me of a Wizard casting a magic spell. I've been wanting a shot of a Wood Duck flapping its wings for a while. This was one of my last shots during the time spent with these ducks, and I was extremely happy to get it. Even at 1/2000th a second there is still some minor wing blur, which gives you an idea of how fast the ducks flap their wings. Hope you enjoy the wizardry of the male wood duck!
It is Wednesday. Thanks for stopping by~!
These reminded me very much of the Eurasian Blackbirds that were so common - I hope they still are - back in the UK.
Very dark montane thrush. Robin-sized, all black with white eye and yellow eyering, bill, and legs. Female browner than male. No similar species in limited range. Found singly or in pairs at high elevations, usually above 2200m. Usually in the open, sometimes conspicuously hopping around on the ground but also at the forest edge ~ eBird
‘Ring of bells’. This Fuchsia reminded me of the Bell that hangs by the back door with its rope tongue to swing the clapper against the bell - I don’t think the Fuchsia would make as much noise though!!! And for the interested - the knobbly ball on the bottom is called the Stigma which is hanging on the Style from the middle of the Stamen, and they surrounded by the true Petals - the Red outer parts are called Sepals.

366 - I’ve decided to do this to force me to pick up a camera other than when we are away on our travels (they will be posted as normal) - I will be interested to see what transpires, they will be varied I’m sure so we’ll see where inspiration takes me over the course of the year, hopefully at the end of it I will be a better photographer. Feel free to critique as you see fit, but please don’t feel obliged, I anticipate they will not be to all tastes. Have a great year and if you also have embarked on a 365 project then good luck in seeing it through, Alan:-)

Reminds me of sapin- sapin, a favorite sweet treat. Mornings at the foot of the Eastern Sierras offer wonderful colors to make your drive more enjoyable.

It’s a poor excuse at best, but it’s all I’ve got. There have been some obstacles along the way beginning earlier this year with some health issues that came my way as well. I managed to get through all of the health issues and will not linger on those points. First a sinus infection along with the self-inflicted back injury that kept me off the water. I had put off doing a partial remodel of the house but finally managed to put that into motion. What was supposed to be a quick job turned into a lengthy process and I was stuck at home babysitting people that showed up late and were not dependable. They did the work properly for the most part and the end product was acceptable, but it took far too long and almost five weeks total.
Another sinus infection managed to make its way into my life and this time it was one of the worst that I have ever experienced. Not certain that it wasn’t complicated by the moisture and mildew that was discovered in the home under the old carpets that were removed during the remodel. I delayed going to doctor for too long and the infection took its toll on me. I finally asked my daughter to help, and my doctor was not pleased with me when I crawled into her office. The meds did their job, but I was not in good shape, and this all happened while the construction crew was doing work on my home.
So, let me throw in the fourth termite infestation in my home that was discovered in the kitchen around my built in ovens. Another headache entered the things that kept me away from Flickr. They were treated but had also done damage that would need to be repaired as well.
The remodel was finally completed, and I could finally get my life back in order…maybe. My unexpected visit to the ER because a severe pain in my upper back (morphine wouldn’t take it away) was another little road bump along the way. I was released from the hospital and sent home with kidney stones still stuck in place. I fortunately passed those kidney stones (all three of them) and got back to moving everything back into the newly remodeled guest room and my newly remodeled play room. I’ll take photos when it’s finally finished. It’s progressing along but not as quickly has I had hoped for. That remodel put quite a dent in my budget, but it was well worth the money and had to be addressed.
Am I done yet…well no!! Hold on canoe boy ‘cause the construction team that was assigned by the pest control company was about to step in. I did get lucky and managed to purchase a policy a few years ago for termite damage in my home and the company wanted to begin the repairs to the kitchen. UGGGGHHH! They would take care of everything, but that necessitated yet another construction crew being in my home. I had to remove dishes out of he cabinets and clear out my pantry as well. I enjoyed trying to prepare breakfast with most of my kitchen items in the dining room. What a pain. I thought that things would move smoothly, but it took a while to get the job approved and that drug along for a little over three weeks. They were supposed to be finished with the project but will return sometime this week and finish the project. The managed to damage a part of the oven and it’s one order and will be replaced.
DEEP BREATH!!!! I hope you are still with me, but if you’ve not read this far, that is okay as well.
Canoeing??? Not certain what that is! Photography??? I’ve not picked up my camera since March. Maybe someday! I am also experiencing some minor stability issues with my back that have lingered since the injury occurred earlier this year. The back is fine after I spend some time stretching in the morning and absolutely perfect when I go to bed at night. I’m either sleeping wrong or my recently replaced mattress needs to be replaced with a different type. Just not sure.
Phew!! I’m doing okay and will try to get on the water soon. Just don’t now when I’ll be back here on Flickr full time. I am not hurting (except for the issues in the morning) but will have to see how things progress. This is the first time that I’ve logged on to Flickr in weeks and I’ll try to get to everyone’s messages as soon as possible. Wishing everyone a wonderful week ahead. If I can remember where my photos are stored and if I can locate a nice one, I may see if I can recall how all of this works. Enjoy your week.

reminds space or video game, but it's just a part of an old beach volley stadium, also.. in some way, i'm thinking of the Don Quixote's hat :-)

Making this image reminded me that I was going try to make Photoshop users aware of something that was put into the CS-6 version and it seems only a bare few know it's there or how to use it.
To find this put an image on your screen in Photoshop ,then go to the Add New Layer Adjustment, it its the round ball on your layers palette that's half black and half white click it and about 2/3rds of the way down you will see Colors Lookup. Click on this, you will see three files you can open, the top one is Open 3D LUTS.
Luts is short for Lookup Tables. When you click on the New Layer Adjustment it adds a new layer on top. The 3D Luts gives you 27 ways to change your image from Moon Light to Candle Light to changing an image from Day to Night. I used the Filmstock on this image which brightens the color to where it looks like it may pop out of the Picture,
Some of the changes are subtle, and some are severe. Take a look and click them all to see. This is very similar to the effects you can get from Topaz.
If you don't like any just turn off the top layer and you get the original image back. BTW...Jeremiah is our Grandson.

Reminding the fact this right of way was built to passenger train standard and speed, four MLWs works upgrade out of Maria,QC and into one of the road's super elevated curve.
With no passenger train since Transport Canada embargoed the line for VIA Rail back in August 2013, 115lbs jointed section of rails only saw tired RS18s plying them fortunately with more tonnage every time since the bad years of the line after the sale from Canadian National and the closure of the huge Gaspésia Pulp and Paper plant in Chandler and Smurfit Stone cardboard plant in New-Richmond.
Passenger trains should be back on the track in 2026 after expensive work over the line's bridges and roadbed who led to the reopening of the whole 202 mile-long line down to Gaspé, like they did for the first time more than a century ago.

Again- really reminds of the Exorcist, right? Here's the full view of the castle wall from the previous shot.
I'm pretty sure we were caught in the beams once or twice- I wonder if our giant forms were suddenly cast upon the castle for all to see?
We did our best to stay hidden though, moving -I think- like trained spies, from shadow to shadow, crouching and sprinting. I mean, in the rubbishy way the two of us do. But still.
I took quite a lot of shots whilst we were here, but the lighting conditions were just dire so I think this will be the last one. There was a nice one of the interior courtyard, but I think I'd be embarrassed to upload it to Flickr. I don't want people knowing how bad a photographer I really am..

I won't be able to take a walk tomorrow, or probably the day after, so this will have to suffice for my Thursday Walk. There are only so many places within walking distance of my work that I can get to in a reasonable amount of time. The small, man-made ponds by the hotel across the street rarely have much of interest.
And then I saw a bird's nest. At eye level. One click of the shutter and I knew this was going to be today's picture.
Basilisks remind me of dinosaurs. I imagine they could be a huge versión of this one. Common Basilisks are recognized for their ability to run over water as an option to escape from predators.
