♫ Slow, slow hands
Like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry
No, no chance
That I'm leaving here without you on me
I, I know
Yeah, I already know that there ain't no stoppin'
Your plans and those
Slow hands (woo) ♫
a tranquil noon, the end of the summer in the island of Gräsö.../ Sakta ner, en lugn sensommardag på Gräsö.../ Desacelerando, mediodía a fines del verano en la isla de Gräsö...(DSC-6182-5)
Last weekend, one of the enchanting moments this winter was: minus 20 degrees outside temperature, a fog bench and slowly the sun turns on and after and after the fog bench. Fantastically cold, but crazy light.

Erdkröte (bufo bufo)
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erdkr%C3%B6te#:~:text=Die%20Erdkr%C...(Bufo%20bufo)%20ist,Familie%20der%20Kr%C3%B6ten%20(Bufonidae).
Die Erdkröte (Bufo bufo) ist ein häufiger und im paläarktischen Raum weit verbreiteter Froschlurch aus der Gattung der Echten Kröten innerhalb der Familie der Kröten (Bufonidae). Nach heutiger Auffassung handelt es sich wahrscheinlich nicht um eine einheitliche biologische Art, sondern um einen Komplex mehrerer Taxa, deren genaue systematische Stellung und Abgrenzung derzeit unklar ist.[1]
Die Erdkröte wurde von der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Herpetologie und Terrarienkunde zum Lurch des Jahres 2012 gekürt.
Common toad (bufo bufo), European toad, toad
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_toad
The common toad, European toad, or in Anglophone parts of Europe, simply the toad (Bufo bufo, from Latin bufo "toad"), is a frog found throughout most of Europe (with the exception of Ireland, Iceland, and some Mediterranean islands), in the western part of North Asia, and in a small portion of Northwest Africa. It is one of a group of closely related animals that are descended from a common ancestral line of toads and which form a species complex. The toad is an inconspicuous animal as it usually lies hidden during the day. It becomes active at dusk and spends the night hunting for the invertebrates on which it feeds. It moves with a slow, ungainly walk or short jumps, and has greyish-brown skin covered with wart-like lumps.
... approaching a hopefully sunny and warm weekend - TGIF!

Pahto (Mount Adams), seen from Mount Rainier National Park, Washington
Last weekend I decided to meet up with a friend for a sunset hike at Mount Rainier National Park. We made detailed plans ahead of time for both the hike and sunset watching, and then ended up both arriving later than planned, doing a different hike, and hiking more slowly than anticipated due to snow (yes, more snow!) on the trail and a stop to search for my friend's dropped phone. But sunset wasn't until 8:51pm so we figured we still had plenty of time.
We were hiking with the sun behind us, and time was flying by as it has a way of doing when we hike together, so when we emerged from a forested section of the trail into a meadow, we suddenly noticed that the sun was starting to drop into the trees, and realized we had to turn around and hustle back down the trail to where we had planned to watch the sunset over Tahoma (Mount Rainier).
As we hiked at a quick pace back, through every break in the trees, my eyes were drawn to this view of Pahto and the south Cascades. In the evening light, with that fog rising from the forest below, I finally decided it was necessary to stop for photos, despite our time constraints.
Note: Pahto is the second highest peak in Washington, standing 12,281 feet/3743 meters tall and is considered one of the 5 active volcanoes in the state, although the last eruption was 1000 years ago. It is one of the five sacred mountains to the native Yakama peoples and part of the mountain is territory of the Yakama Nation.
Later than last year the trees are showing their first green, sunny but chilly is the theme of April. Hiking is fun, but a warm jacket is still required. Dehme, Ostwestfalen, Germany
This shot was taken from a ferry leaving Buenos Aires towards Colonia. They are located within the port, just a few hundred meters from the Museum of the Immigrant and not far from Puerto Madero, the newest part of Buenos Aires that is being developed on top of recovered old port buildings and terrain gained to the Rio de la Plata.
Looking back we had such a strange week in Scotland. At some stage in every day, normally late afternoon the wind would completely die down and the nearby sea or loch would become totally calm. I don't think I've ever seen such still bodies of water so often. It was a magnificent Slow Show by The National. It's so hard to resist Stac Pollaidh, my only companions here were thousands of toads, singing away.
Passata è la tempesta
odo augelli far festa
e la lumaca, tornata in su la via
scivolando se ne va
Nel mio giardino vive una discreta colonia di chiocciole, in numero però non sufficiente (per loro fortuna) per un bel piatto di lumache trifolate, così le lascio libere di scorazzare e mangiarmi qualche piantina.
C&A makes its twice weekly run down to Elizabeth City, NC, passing the grain elevators in Shawboro, NC. 2 years ago, you would not have seen any orange G&W locomotives on this line. Instead, you would have been treated to 2 GP7 in C&A and SCRF paint, but in 2023 you can now see the slow transition to the G&W company's livery on GP38 locomotives, the new normal in 2023.
... towards the end of a not so pleasant year - TGIF!
