It is 37 years since I saw a Greater Sandplover in Britain, and that one was a dull immature bird, so I leapt at the chance when some friends offered me a lift to see this breeding-plumaged male at Redcar yesterday. I think there have been only about twenty seen in Britain since the first record in 1978. But it is difficult to be sure as some individuals wander widely, and this individual was in Aberdeenshire the day before it turned up in Redcar. It was feeding on a seaweed-strewn beach with a number of Ringed Plovers, but it was noticeably larger than those, with proportionately longer legs, and with a black face mask and orange breast band, characteristic of adult males. It breeds in desert regions north of the Himalayas from China west to the Caspian Sea, with only small numbers breeding within the Western Palearctic in central Turkey. Its odd scientific name Charadrius leschenaultii commemmorates the French traveller and naturalist Jean-Baptiste Leschenault de la Tour (1773-1826), who collected the first specimen from the south-east coast of India in 1819 and was named by René Lesson in 1826, the year of Leschenault's death.
The church of St Andrew's in the village of Chaddleworth in the heart of West Berkshire. There was a church here in Saxon times and some stones from then can apparently be found at the base of the tower. However, the building as we see it is mainly Norman with 13th century additions. The south door is a superb example of decorated Norman work.The village of Chaddleworth lies on the southern slopes of the Berkshire downs on the A338 which runs between Hungerford and Wantage.

ever since I built the Brush piles out back 8 or 9 years ago, more and more Birds and Wildlife has come into our yard. I add to it every year. So it does get bigger, and bigger. A brush pile can can be a home for a lot of Wildlife. Birds, Raccoon's, Squirrels, Chipmunks, Rabbits, Fox, Bugs, Salamanders, so on and so on. So if you do have a little space in your yard, built a little Brush pile, and give it some time you will be surprised at what moves in. Here we have a White-throated Sparrow who is a Winter visitor to one of our Brush Piles. our backyard, Southeastern, Connecticut
EC-GXJ arrived on the 27th of January from Malmo and should have continued to Helsinki but has parked since possibly due to engine trouble.
Since I couldn't find a typical chilean costume to celebrate my Country's Bday, I had to put some elements together and design the dress myself :) Long Live to Chile! ¡Viva Chile!

Moscow Financial District, Moscow, Russia.
Moskva City, the shining financial district also known as the Moscow International Business Center, has been in the works since the early 1990s and was planned as an ultra-modern blend of business, living and entertainment spaces.
But as the Russia economy is ravaged by plummeting oil prices and international sanctions, half of the available spaces in the district are going unoccupied.

Since it was a bit rainy again this morning, I went to the Aquarium again trying to get a few different shots. I'm on a kick I guess. For some reason, I always stop by the little round tanks that hold the Newts, and try to get different shots of them through their thick glass homes. I sort of feel sorry for them looking out at me, submerged in all their water. I wonder if they see me and wonder how dreadful it must be on the outside where everything is so dry?
Since my birthday falls on Tuesday this year, my sons, Pete and Don arranged a surprise dinner cruise last Sauturday on the Wild Goose at Newport Harbor in Newprt Beach, California.
She is a 136 feet long ship used by the US Navy in 1943 as a minesweeper in World War II. In 1965, she was purchased and renamed the Wild Goose by legendary actor John Wayne and converted into a luxurious yacht that he owned for 16 years before he died.
Since I've already shown one set of my everyday carry items (including the obligatory Leatherman multitool), this Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II also comes along for the ride on the belt. This is my whatever-piques-my-interest camera, the latest in a series of compact Canons that I've carried every day. I also have an employer-supplied iPhone by my side, but I reserve that for work-related photographs as I prefer the ergonomics and flexibility of an advanced point-and-shoot.
Composed to fit within the 3" (76.2mm) constraints.

Since Roman times, obelisks have been taken to the great cities of the world to decorate them, or as trophies of a conquered land. Arsubanipal, Assyrian king, moved two to Nineveh, the Roman emperors moved several to Rome and Constantinople. In modern times, this mobilization continued, like the one in Luxor, given by Viceroy Mehemet Ali to King Louis Philippe of France. This is why despite the fact that the obelisks were scattered throughout the Egyptian territory, and that there was no temple in a capital that did not have one, today, of the 27 ancient Egyptian obelisks that are standing, only 6 remain. in Egypt: the one in Heliopolis, the three in Karnak, the one in Luxor and the one in Cairo. The rest are scattered on each continent.
The obelisks continue to be architectural elements that adorn squares and parks in every corner of the world. Very few know the meaning and effort required for its construction, yet it continues to evoke a sense of stability, permanence and majesty as it did for the ancient people of the Nile River.

Since Aurizon’s take over of the One Rail Australia business, it’s become increasingly uncommon to see two CLF/CLP class locomotives paired up without other motive power outside of local transfers and intrastate grain traffic, so seeing two CL’s on an Intermodal service was a welcomed change as CLP16/CLF6 run Aurizon’s 6MX1 from North Dynon to Spencer Jct via Port Pirie through the locality of Calomba on Saturday the 21st of December 2024.
After arrival in Port Pirie, this train will shunt to enable fellow Aurizon Intermodal service 6SP1 to arrive and add the In-Line Fuelling wagon, the Crew Car and the loading for the journey West to Forrestfield. The Streamliners and a sole flat wagon containing ILF tanks will then run to Spencer Jct and stable to form 4114S back to Adelaide with 7PS1’s loading on Monday.
Hired power from Railfirst Asset Management dominates this train on most services however reliability issues with the GL and CM classes has seen Aurizon’s locomotives featured more regularly in the month since I photographed this service last. It’s expected that further orders of ACD class units due to arrive during 2025 will enable the two GL class locomotives to be dehired while the CM’s will remain, further Aurizon locomotives from the Eastern Bulk business unit are rumoured to arrive during the new year for traffic such as MX/XM services.

It's been awhile since I pulled out the Nikon D70s and the "nifty fifty" lens (Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 D AF). So armed with the D70s, I decided to find the wine goblet again this morning (it's only water in the goblet, but its 5 o'clock somewhere!), as I watched the sun rise this morning. Hope everyone has had a great week, and I wish you all a wonderful weekend! CHEERS! This photograph is available as a limited edition poster of 500. Should you be interested, flickr-mail me and I'll send you a link on where to purchase a poster.
Oh yeah, and HAPPY HALLOWEEN, Everyone!

Added Feb 18, 2011... Thanks to those at Spiritualteachers.org who also think it okay to copy the picture to imageshack and then post it on their blogs!. But do have to say that at least one poster did provide a link back to that one person's credit, before one of their "senior" members decided to put it on imageshack and post it on their blogs.
Appartently they can't read the disclaimer below, and have no spirituality and definitely NOT teachers, by stealing! Does it really hurt to ask to use a photograph??

Apparently so!

I've just started playing Fate/Grand Order for 6 days but I knew this game for almost a year. 😅
Since 1702, Elfreth's Alley has been home to more than 3,000 people. Today thirty-two houses, built between 1728 and 1836, line the alley. They form one of the last intact early American streetscapes in the nation. Elfreth's Alley is a National Historic Landmark District, one of the first districts that celebrates the lives of everyday Americans.
Since my doggie kids can't buy me presents I had to make myself a cake ;o)
After seeing what dubbie did with hers, I decided to change things a little too. Inside the cake, instead of fresh strawberries, I used strawberry halves marinated with some sweet white wine, sugar and kirsch. I then added some simple syrup to the marinade and soaked the genoise cake layers with it.
Thanks for the inspiration, dubbie! It was yummy!

Since our eldest guinea-pig died - about 2 weeks ago now - Scooter (our other guinea-pig) felt very lonely. So we decided to buy him a little friend. Yesterday the two met each other and became friends immediately!
Ollie is so cute!
This year marks 150 years since the first railway line was opened in the Emmental region of Switzerland. To mark the anniversary, BLS, which operates the lines in the area, and several local associations organized a large-scale event on the weekend of May 17-18. Open days were held at several stations and depos in the region, and special trains arrived from different parts of the country for the programs. The transportation between the different open days was facilitated by nostalgic trains: everything from steam engines to electric traction trains could be encountered on the extensive railway network of the region.
One such train was the RBDe 4/4 I. The more than 50-year-old train was manufactured in 1974 and was considered a pioneer in its time as Switzerland's first swing-door railcar. A few years ago, enthusiastic volunteers, crowdfunding and donations saved it from scrapping, and since then we can see it on nostalgia tours of the association created for the train. The motor car no. 222 and its control car no. 922 ran between Burgdorf and Konolfingen every two hours.

Idén 150 éve, hogy átadták az első vasútvonalat a svájci Emmental régióban. A kerek évforduló alkalmából május 17-18 hétvégén a környékbeli vonalakat üzemeltető BLS és jópár környékbeli egyesület egy nagyszabású rendezvényt szervezett. Több állomáson és telephelyen nyílt napot tartottak a régióban, az ország különböző pontjairól pedig érdekesebbnél érdekesebb különvonatok érkeztek a programokhoz. A különböző nyílt napok közötti közlekedést nosztalgiavonatok segítették: a gőzösöktől a villany vontatású szerelvényekig mindennel lehetett találkozni a régió kiterjedt vasúthálózatán.
Egyik ilyen szerelvény volt a képen is látható RBDe 4/4 I-es. A több mint 50 éves szerelvényt 1974-ben gyártották és maga idejében úttörőnek számított Svájc első lengőajtós vasúti motorkocsijaként. Pár éve lelkes önkéntesek, közösségi finanszírozással és adományokkal megmentették a lángvágótól, azóta a szerelvénynek létrehozott egyesület nosztalgiamenetein találkozhatunk vele. A 222-es pályaszámú motorkocsi és 922-es vezérlőkocsija Burgdorf és Konolfingen közt közlekedett a hétvégén két óránként.

Ever since my friend Stephanie found one of these beautiful Okefenokee Zale Moth caterpillars on the Jeff Friend Trail back in 2016, I always check for them there every April...I've managed to find them every year except for 2018...so I was very glad to find eight of them the other day! This particular trail seems to be the only place in Alabama that they've ever been reported! There's a lot of Fedderbush along this trail!
