Returning from fishing, a manu o ku serves up a breakfast of colorful, translucent larval fish to its nestling. The manu o Kū, bird of the war god Kū, catches fish and squid, often alternating heads and tails after multiple sequential captures. Manu o Kū is also known throughout the tropics as the white tern (Gygis alba). They are arboreal nesting seabirds, though no nest is actually constructed. These terns lay a single egg in a hollow or forked branch of a tree to incubate and raise a chick. Strong sharp claws and reduced webbing on their feet facilitate clutching the bare branch.

Vi ho già parlato di loro, Milo Isabel e Kenia, ma mentre altri hanno trovato adozione, loro si trovano ancora al Rifugio Ohana di Banda a 4 Zampe Umbria.
Lei è Isabel, una cagnolina bionda e di piccola taglia che è al rifugio con la mamma Danielle. E' più timidina della mamma, ma ora comincia anche a uscire in passeggiata, e con un po' di pazienza si farà coraggio. Ad ogni modo non verrà data in adozione da sola, ma con la mamma. Non è molto dolce?

The exceptional view from Titterstone Clee, all the better for being served up on a crisp, clear winters morning when the distant hills of Malvern and the Brecon Beacons are all clearly visible...
My Dad took this shot of Extra 712 West at Newberry on August 16, 1986. Lighting was poor but I thought it was pretty neat after looking at it awhile with the Conductor heading for the power with a lunch to go for his crew from Timber Charlie's Restaurant & Bar which is just west of the M-123 crossing that's behind Dad in this shot. 712 and 4418 have 13 cars and will soon be off for the next stop which appears to be Munising Junction by the trains make up. Much work done in Lightroom/Photoshop to bring this Thirty Thursday submission.

I come back to the flood in Gdańsk in 2001 and the effects it had on railway in the area. From numerous pictures here (to which I don't link again today) you know, that the mainline from Gdańsk to Tczew was cut off by flood and the train were diverted from Gdynia to old Coal Trunk Line via Kościerzyna. The secondary line that suffered from downgrading several stations to usual passenger stops and capacity dropdown served then as the mainline.
The number of diverted train was so great, that usual regional passenger services had to be prioritized differently. They ran irregularly, some of them were even cancelled. The picture shows the example of balancing the rolling stock. Two regional trains were joint together and served as the one, 90147 from Kościerzyna to Gdynia Główna. The delays were so ennormous, I can't even be sure whether it was 90147 or any other one. This one just the closer in relation to the time. SU42-524 and SU42-523 haul four passenger wagons while departing from Rębiechowo passenger stop. July 10, 2001.

Powracam do tematu powodzi w Gdańsku w 2001 roku i jej konsekwencji dla kolei w okolicy. Z wielu zdjęć tu zamieszczonych (jeśli nie widzieliście, to poszukajcie) wynika, że odcięcie powodzią linii z Gdańska do Tczewa spowodowało przerzucenie całego ruchu kolejowego na drugorzędną wówczas starą Magistralę Węglową. Linię, która w poprzednich latach została dotknięta likwidacją wielu stacji i której przepustowość spadła drastycznie do ok. jednego pociągu na 20 minut.
Pociągów przekierowanych na Magistralę Węglową było multum - praktycznie cały ruch pasażerski dalekobieżny, oprócz pociągów do Szczecina, które pojechały szerszym objazdem z Tczewa przez Chojnice do Szczecinka. W konsekwencji ucierpiał ruch regionalny - pociągi były koszmarnie poopóźniane, a wiele z nich poodwoływanych. Aby zachować obiegi składów, niektóre pociągi były łączone dla oszczędzenia przepustowości. I tak jest na fotografii: duet SU42-524 oraz SU42-523 z czterema wagonami (dwa składy regionalne) odjeżdża z Rębiechowa jako pociąg osobowy 90147 z Kościerzyny do Gdyni (ten numer był najbliżej rozkładem, ale nie mam pewności, czy to jechało jako ten). 10 lipca 2001 roku.

Toddington railway station serves the village of Toddington in Gloucestershire, England. Since 1984 it has been the main base of operations for the heritage Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway.
A pair of retired form MARC commuter rail units sit derelict stored on the property of shortline Columbia and Reading. GP40WH-2s 56 and 58 were heavily rebuilt by Morrison–Knudsen from GP40 freight units (originally IC 3040 and PC 3141 respectively) gaining flared SD45 radiators and wide noses from old F45s at that time. They served as primary MARC power from 1994 until sometime between 2009 and 2011 when the fleet was sold off excepting one retained for non-revenue service. Purchased by M-K successor Motive Power Inc. many were remanufactured again into MP32PH-Q locomotives for use on SunRail as seen in this recent image I shared: flic.kr/p/2kVW4Uj But these particular two have languished here for years along with sisters 54 and 57 which recently departed. It appears that MPI successor Wabtec sold all four to Staunton, VA based Precision Locomotive Leasing account all four are listed on their website here: www.pnlxrail.com/locomotives so maybe their story isn't over just yet!

Embraer ERJ-175LR (msn 17000812) Operated by Horizon Air, this is one of several "Honoring Those Who Serve" special liveries.. Seen at ANC.
Dinner is Served - Adult female Belted Kingfisher with prey. Not sure exactly what the fish was, but looked like some sort of sunfish. The heavy rains and flooding have caused the river to swell, and the kingfishers were enjoying good hunting. A tight crop, but my first prey shot with this species.
Species: Belted Kingfisher (Megaceryle alcyon)
Location: Santa Clara County, CA, USA
Equipment: Canon EOS R5 + EF 100-400mm IS II + EF 1.4x III Extender
Settings: 1/100s, ISO: 500, f/8 @560mm, Electronic Shutter, Handheld
Apparently, the first time these two aircraft types have ever been displayed together. In the foreground, the red de Havilland DH.88 Comet, a 1934 racing aircraft that won the England to Australia air-race in that year. Behind, the DH100 Venom, the first single-engined jet aircraft to serve with the RAF - thousands were built, and they were widely exported.
Maybe surprisingly, both aircraft are substantially made of wood. The Comet is almost entirely wooden, apart from the engines, undercarriage etc, and the Venom's cockpit nacelle is also made of wood. (The wings, tail and jet engine mounting are made from metal.)
The de Havilland company was expert in fabricating strong and light aero-structures, including complex double curvatures, from wood - often balsa sandwiched between plywood. The DH.98 Mosquito is probably their best known product.
The Vampire design dates from 1943, just 11 years after the Comet. It could fly at well over 500mph and entered service a few months after the end of the war. Over 3,200 Vampires were built, and many survive in flying condition today. This one is beautifully presented by the Royal Norwegian Air Force Historical Squadron.
The Comet, as a type, had a somewhat less successful career. Apart from winning the race, it was little use for much else, and only a handful were ever built. G-ACSS 'Grosvenor House' is owned and operated by The Shuttleworth Collection, based at Old Warden aerodrome in England, where the two aircraft are seen in the picture.

"Remember the fallen. Honor those who serve. Teach the next generation the value of freedom."
These are the words from Wreaths Across America's (WAA) website noted as "Our Mission". And, it is clearly observed in their commitment to the soldiers buried across the country in the many "national cemetery's" with the wreaths placed against the headstones. However, this is just one of the many ways that WAA remembers, honors, and teaches the next generation about our fallen. Please check out their website for more information about the many ways they accomplish this goal...
Additionally, the location of the photograph above is the Nashville National Cemetery in Madison, Tennessee (just north of Downtown Nashville) which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). More information about this "national cemetery" can be found here:

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

If you are someone inclined to look at exif data you would notice that after 6 years there is a camera change here. I am not one who needs to keep up with the "latest and greatest". My little D610 has served me well and given me many images that I love. However, my eyesight which has been poor since childhood has taken a nosedive over the last couple of years due to retina complications. I found it harder and harder to focus my manual lenses...especially my favorite old 135mm. Even on auto focus I couldn't really see whether my images were acceptable unless I was tethered to my computer and that was rare since I only do a little studio shooting.
For many months I deliberated over whether I could justify the expense...and which Nikon to go for. The D850 images had crazy awesome megapixel stats...but it is heavy and pricey. Then Nikon ran a sale on the D780 and I bit. I am so glad I made the leap...I can see so clearly through the viewfinder, and the live view option as well as the tilting screen have made the chore of shooting into a delight again.
So just as these fresh new ferns signal a new beginning with summer, so my camera switch is providing a fresh approach in my photographic journey.
OH and PS...if anyone with decent eyesight is looking for a perfectly good used D610 cheap, just let me know.
