Finally some good warbler action this afternoon in a few weeks. Looks like the winds are favourable for lake Ontario and hopefully these birds stick around for a few days! Also heard my first Blackpoll which signifies the beginning of the end.
The Diamond T Motor Car Company was founded in Chicago in 1905 by C. A. Tilt. Reportedly, the company name was created when Tilt’s shoe-making father fashioned a logo featuring a big “T” (for Tilt) framed by a diamond, which signified high quality.[1] The company's hood emblem on trucks was a sled dog in harness. From its beginnings manufacturing touring cars, the company later became known for its trucks. By 1967, as a subsidiary of White Motor Corporation, it was merged with Reo Motor Company to become Diamond Reo Trucks, Inc.[2]
During World War II, Diamond T produced a prototype of a heavy truck in the 980/981, a prime mover which was adapted and quickly acquired by the British Purchasing Commission for duty as a tank transporter tractor. Coupled with a Rogers trailer, the truck gave sterling service with the British Army in North Africa Campaign, where its power and rugged construction allowed the rescue of damaged tanks in the most demanding of conditions.[3] [citation needed] In addition Diamond T built the entire range of the G509 series 4 ton 6X6s, including cargo, dump, semi tractor, and wrecker trucks,[4] as well as some lighter trucks, and even G7102 half tracks.[5] Diamond T ranked 47th among United States corporations in the value of World War II military production contracts.[6] Diamond T manufactured three pickup trucks: The Model 80,201 and the Model 202. The pickups were powered by the Hercules QX-series 6-cylinder engines. The model 80 was produced from 1936 to 1938 and the Model 201 was produced from 1938 to 1949.
Commercial models
1928–1929 brought major mechanical improvements across the entire range. A closed cab with doors was introduced. All-wheel hydraulic drum brakes were used. Six-cylinder engines were available from Continental and Hercules for heavy trucks and a four-cylinder Buda powered light trucks. All trucks had geared-differential rear axles. By 1929 there were chassis load ratings (the weight of the body and payload) up to 12 tons (10,900 kg) on three axles.
1933–1935 In 1933 a new all-steel covered cab with doors and roll-up windows was introduced. In a 1935 model year style change it had been improved with a "streamlined" V-style windshield. This cab would be used on commercial and military trucks until replaced in 1951. In 1935 the trucks were also improved mechanically and new models were introduced. They developed through the rest of the 1930s. In 1935, Diamond T sold 6454 units and in 1936 it increased to 8750 trucks [8]. In 1938, Diamond T sold 4393 units and in 1939 it increased to 5412 trucks [9]. In 1940 Hercules six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines up to 118 horsepower (88 kW) were used and Cummins diesels up to 200 horsepower (150 kW) were introduced in 1940.
1940–1942 In 1940 Hercules six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines up to 118 horsepower (88 kW) were used and Cummins diesels up to 200 horsepower (150 kW) were introduced. In 1942 improved models went into production and then stopped after only 530 units for military production of tactical trucks and half-tracks.
1946–1947 Production of commercial trucks was stopped for military production in 1942. A small number of commercial trucks began to be built in 1944 and more in 1945. In 1946, the first year of full commercial production, there were five models, in 1947 there were fourteen. After World War II heavy trucks were measured by Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), the total weight of the chassis, body, and payload. In 1947 there were chassis rated from 8,000 pounds (3,600 kg) to 36,000 pounds (16,000 kg) with conventional, sleeper, and COE models. Annual model changes were discontinued and many models continued unchanged until 1950. Gasoline and diesel engines were offered by Continental, Cummins, and Hercules. Single and tandem rear axles were available in many wheelbases.
The meaning of hydrangeas varies culturally. In Japan, they signify heartfelt emotion and apology, while in Europe, they can symbolise arrogance and vanity, with a historical belief linking them to singlehood.

Here in Germany we can buy colored eggs at the supermarket all year round, not just at Easter time, signifying that they are hard boiled.
There is a little selfie in the teapot reflection, too.
We have named our home here at Keefer Lake, "Ithaka." Symbolically, Ithaka is associated with the notion of returning home, signifying the journey of self-discovery and the yearning for a place to truly belong. Ithaka's connection to Homer's Odyssey is one of its most famous features as the home of the legendary hero Odysseus.
Our little A-frame home and property is just to the right of the sun in this photo behind the small island in the very center of the image.

The lily of the valley signifies the return of happiness. It is a very poisonous flower that would kill if ingested, but smells so sweet. However, it was used in perfume produce by Dior. You might recall you have heard of J'adore.
100 years ago today President Warren G. Harding drove the golden spike to signify the completion of the 470 mile long Alaska Railroad from Seward to Fairbanks. The ceremony took place just at the north end of the massive Mears Memorial Bridge across the Tanana River from the community of Nenana. I wish I could be there today with my friends and colleagues for the reenactment and celebrations taking place, but alas I'm some 3300 miles away (in a straight line...4500 or so to drive).
But since I can't here's a photo from a half dozen years ago just north of that hiatoric location as the ARR's local coal turn (train 188W) is headed north back to Fairbanks from the Usibelli Coal Mine in Healy behind a SD70MAC / GP40-2 alongside the Parks Highway at about MP 414.7.
In the background about a mile behind them is the Mears Bridge, a mighty 700 ft long structure which is one of the longest simple truss bridges in the world and was the final obstacle in the completion of this monumental wilderness railroad.

I have no idea if the numbers signify some nautical blurb, but when googled they are the same as Hadrian's Cycleway (NCN 72) which goes from west to east coast of UK
when proceeding toward the sea or leaving port, red buoys are kept to port side and green buoys to the starboard side. Red buoys are always even numbered, and green buoys are odd numbered. Red and white vertically striped buoys mark the center of the channel.

In some cultures the black cat is considered good luck, whereas in others it signifies bad luck .. whatever your superstition I present .. the Black Cat
The colours of Spring are signified by a solitary hawthorn blossom bush and a field of buttercups; meanwhile 33029 and 33025 drift downgrade from Whiteball with the 1Z25 07.00 Burton upon Trent-Paignton "The Crompton Torbay Venturer" excursion, promoted by Pathfinder Tours. It's been several years since a pair of Class 33/0's last worked into Devon; the last known workings I could locate for this pairing appear to be 1988 and 1992 respectively (unless anyone can correct me otherwise).
Taken with the assistance of a pole - it was a rather breezy day, but my recently acquired carbon fibre pole stood up to challenge and impressively managed to remain steady to capture this picture when previously (with the old pole) I wouldn't have bothered in similiar conditions.
Sunlight breaks across the rocks in Garden of the Gods, and hopefully signifies the breaking of winter's grip as well. March has been a snowy month along the Front Range, although it is typically one of the snowiest months of the year. Are we finally done with snow until next fall? Somehow I doubt it! Springtime in the Rockies - gotta love it!
Thank for your views and comment!
The "Corn Moon" is the common name for the September full moon, named by many Native American tribes to signify the time of year when corn was harvested in the Northern Hemisphere
The Myvatn area has many volcanic and geothermal features. Contrary to the Hverfell crater which is very dry and dark, Viti is filled with deep blue water and colorful mountains.
This Viti is a large crater approximately 300m in diameter whose name signifies Hell. It was formed during a 5-year long explosive eruption of the west side of Krafla at the beginning of the Myvatn Fires in 1724.
Every autumn, or at the end of a growing season, the leaves on trees change colors. They turn from green to red, yellow, purple, and sometimes blue. This signifies that soon the tree will shed its leaves so that new ones can take their place. But before this happens, people in certain parts of the world get to enjoy a splendid display of color.
Took this dramatic image Mid Aftrenoon using a Tamron 28-300mm lens and polarising filter.
A quarter of an hour earlier this cloud was overhead creating squally conditions with heavy rain - indicative of this type of cloud which are also capable of producing thunder, lightning and other dangerous severe weather such as heavy rain and hailstones. Throughout the day we've had a constant stream of varying types of Cumulonimbus Clouds, no lightning or hailstones, but thunder as well. They are formed beneath 20,000ft - are relatively close to the ground and the reason they have so much moisture.
Incoming on a South Westerly airstream, they would have gathered much moisture when crossing the Irish Sea before making land.
- Reflection from Lions Gate Bridge
Ship going under the bridge - signifies we're almost back to Canada Place - Vancouver Port. It was a remarkable trip and I've enjoyed sharing vignettes of it with you through some of my photos.
-The Lions Gate Bridge,
A pair of cast concrete lions, designed by sculptor Charles Marega, were placed on either side of the south approach to the bridge in January, 1939.
The total length of the bridge including the north viaduct is 1,823 metres (5,890 feet). The length including approach spans is 1,517.3 m (4,978 ft), the main span alone is 473 m (1,550 ft), the tower height is 111 m (364 ft), and it has a ship's clearance of 61 m (200 ft). Prospect Point in Stanley Park offered a good high south end to the bridge, but the low flat delta land to the north required construction of the extensive North Viaduct.
The traffic volume on the bridge is 60,000 - 70,000 vehicles per day
Many thanks for you visits and kind comments.

The Smile on Saturday theme today is a reflection on the way poppies have signified a remembrance of those who have died on the battlefield to protect freedom, so I juxtaposed my photo of poppies on a photo of a cemetery in Pennsylvania with American flags next to the gravestones of American veterans.
Light up the dark souls? Never seen that before, lampposts at a cemetery. The Catholic cemetery of Zevenaar.

I'm imagining the young one's mouth open was signifying approval--Do it more!--whether there was anything audible or not.
"In some neighborhoods, shoes tied together and hanging from power lines or tree branches signify that someone has died. The shoes belong to the dead person. The reason they are hanging, legend has it, is that when the dead person's spirit returns, it will walk that high above the ground, that much closer to heaven."

A 1000' (304.8m) reel holding red leader film, normally used to signify the tail end.
Even though it's called leader, red brings up the rear, so to speak. It's just like previews, nicknamed trailers even though they appear before the movie (originally, they followed the movie, hence the name).
The October full moon is called the Harvest Moon as it signified the latest part of the year that American native Indians could harvest any crops before Winter set in. It was also called the Hunters Moon for those tribes whose food for the winter consisted mainly of wild animals they could kill before the snows came.
So pleased to see these gorgeous Stargazer Lilies come in to bloom again this year. A special gift from a special friend last year.
Stargazer lilies are a combination of Oriental and Asiatic lilies. They were named by Leslie Woodruff, a lily grower and breeder, in reference to the way the blooms of this flower point towards the sky. Stargazers have only been around for a couple of decades but have quickly gained popularity.
Stargazers are believed to symbolise innocence and purity but the meaning changes with the colour of the flower. For example, a pink stargazer lily symbolises prosperity and abundance. Yellow stargazers express joy and of course, white stargazers signify purity and innocence. Other meanings for this good-looking flower are success and determination, commitment, passion and the fulfilment of dreams.

Full moon signified the event tonight. I thought that it would be meaningful to have a shot of lanterns with full moon.
It took me a lot of bad shots to finally get this one.

Mural signifies Thorold’s embracing of heritage
"Proudness and sheer delight’ in downtown Renaissance
By Paul Forsyth Niagara This Week - Thorold

A stunning new mural that greets people entering historic Front Street is being called a powerful symbol of how Thorold is embracing its rich past as a vital part of its future.
About 100 people gathered on the street near the corner of Sullivan Avenue on Saturday morning for the unveiling of the 80-square-foot mural on a newly restored building that once housed the Welland House Hotel, in the block of buildings historically known as the Schwaller Block that was built following the great fire that consumed much of Front Street in 1866.
The mural, by local artist Catharine Mellor, depicts a horse-drawn trolley and the streetscape as it was in the late 1800s, and contains the very same building it’s now installed on.
The mural was commissioned by building owner Ross Boncore, the latest property owner to restore a historic building on Front Street as part of a major Renaissance of the downtown.
Pamela Minns, secretary-treasurer of Heritage Thorold, the city’s architectural conservation advisory committee, said Thorold is proof that heritage attracts visitors and can play a role in economic development.
Boncore said Mellor has created a lasting legacy with their mural.
This pottery was found out in the open in Montsalvat in Eltham, Victoria. It signifies all the little artistic treasures found around the grounds.
Humans think we are the rulers of the world and the most important and powerful things on the planet. When one sees how small we are in comparison to the power of nature, one gains an entirely new perspective.
