The birdflu threatens the cranes on their migration this year - the reports are devastating. Let's hope that enough will make it back next year!
Kraniche verlassen nach Sonnenaufgang ihren Übernachtungsplatz in der Diepholzer Moorniederung.
Wegen H5N1 steht ihnen eine sehr gefährliche Migration bevor - drücken wir die Daumen, dass es viele schaffen werden!
Happy Caturday, my Flickr friends 😺😸😹😻😼

Made with www.adobe.com/go/psx Avila Beach History, The name Avila commemorates Miguel Ávila, who was granted Rancho San Miguelito in 1842.[4][6] The town was established in the latter half of the 19th century, when it served as the main shipping port for San Luis Obispo. Around this time, Luigi Marre built a honeymoon hotel here and steamboats brought customers from San Francisco and Los Angeles.[7]
Although Avila Beach still has a working commercial fishing pier and the inland areas have extensive apple orchards, tourism is now the main industry. There are few historical structures remaining; among the oldest is the Point San Luis Light, built in 1890 after a series of shipping accidents. During World War II the beach and port were used for the Amphibious Training Base Morro Bay.[8]
In the late 1990s, Unocal began the cleanup of decades old oil seepage discovered years earlier from corroding pipes under the township, and which had caused a massive oil spill under the town.[9] Over 6,750 truckloads of contaminated material was sent to a Bakersfield landfill, and replaced with clean Guadalupe Dunes sand.[10] Many of the town's homes and businesses, including several blocks of Front Street, were razed as a result of the quarter-mile-wide excavation. New buildings, homes, businesses, modern walkways and sea motif walls and benches have been constructed.[11] Wikipedia
Szell: Is it safe?
Babe: You're talking to me?
Szell: Is it safe?
Babe: Is what safe?
Szell: Is it safe?
Babe: I don't know what you mean. I can't tell you something's safe or not, unless I know specifically what you're talking about.
Szell: Is it safe?
Babe: Tell me what the "it" refers to.
Szell: Is it safe?
Babe: Yes, it's safe, it's very safe, it's so safe you wouldn't believe it.
Szell: Is it safe?
Babe: No. It's not safe, it's... very dangerous, be careful.

Thankfully, you only have to keep a distance from other visitors, not the art in Potsdam's fabulous Monet exhibition.
Throwback Thursday
Vegas Safely
Statue of Liberty
New York - New York Hotel & Casino
Las Vegas, Nevada
July 22, 2020
Five years ago, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, even Las Vegas’s Statue of Liberty donned a face mask—a striking symbol of an unforgettable moment in history.
My sweet boy was missing for nearly 50 hours--he made me a nervous wreck. Finally, this morning he made his way home~~soaking wet and very hungry.
He's grounded and can't go outside for a day or two.
Southampton has become a real fishing port. I counted 3 fishing tugs in the little harbour. Benjamin-Charles is just one. On this day there were men maintaining their tug. Winter layup is the perfect time to do maintenance.

OK, so it was before 10am on a Sunday morning and not many people about, when I spied this little bike. And I had a good giggle to myself.
But for my photo, I wanted something else going on in the background, and so waited a bit.
Three lots of Muggles wanted to know why I was standing in the rain with a camera near this bike, and when I explained they just looked at me as if I was mad ... which of course I am.
Anyways, I'd rather be mad and smile at simple things like this, than a Muggle who misses the pleasure of the little things in life.
And why B&W ... the first vehichle to come along was a bright red van!
I could tell you that a storm caught us out here, but that wouldn't be the whole story. The whole story would have to mention that we ventured out intentionally hoping to get caught by this storm, and we found the spot on the island right at the edge of the late day's light and the dark, brooding threat of the thunder storm rolling across the land. And then it started to rain. Hard. Hard enough that I was mildly concerned for my camera, even if it is Swedish built and all mechanical and was the choice of camera for use on the surface of the moon. But moments like that produce moments like this, and they are often quite worth the soaked clothes, wet cameras and mild risk of electrocution.
we went to west bay today to snorkel (i am learning to be more and more comfortable and i was thrilled to see a bunch of colorful fish and a sting ray)
we saw this on our way home.
each day i am truly blessed to be able to live on this island.
i never tire of it.. never.
explored.. thanks everyone...
A "well timed grocery store visit" found me trackside while CP 199 happened to be strolling through the depot with CP 7014 leading in the Script Lettering scheme. Managed to snag a shot (or several)
Thank you all for your comments and faves!
