A Quick Trip to see the "Victor" and "Vulcan" together Event at North Tyneside Steam Railway - Stephenson Museum - I was lucky to get a lift to the museum while a friend had an abortive shopping trip (long queues) to a shopping outlet.
As Usual, the Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
403 - "Victor" was Visiting from the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway and meeting up with 401 - "Vulcan", a Home Locomotive built by the same factory for the "Victor" and "Vulcan" together Event at North Tyneside Steam Railway - Stephenson Museum.
Here, 403 - "Victor" is hauling the train I am on into the Percy Main station and passing 401 - "Vulcan" on the run round loop and about to form a Double Header for the journey back up the line.

Black Rock cottage, Glencoe, Scotland
We've just got back from a week long holiday touring through Glencoe and the Isle of Skye, but we're still having a debate/argument as to who ACTUALLY suggested going there in the first place! Kathy wanted a midge free day with dark nights in an isolated lodge, bottle(s) of wine and a good book... and me - all the scenery I could merrily click away at until my heart's content! What we got was light showers, sudden downpours, driving rain, torrential downpours, non-stop rain, storms, high winds, gales, ferry cancellations, falling rocks, landslides, road closures and the odd scenic flood... oh, did I mention the rain?
And to cap it all off... Storm Callum, just to make the 400 mile drive home a little more tense and interesting!
The drive up on the Saturday morning went with 'spreadsheet' precision with every stop neatly planned (I'm sure there's a song in there somewhere). We left Manchester in the customary rain, which eventually cleared just after the northern lakes. A full hearty breakfast stop at Tebay and a couple of 'optional wee' stops on route and we were soon at Loch Lomond in brilliant sunshine and blue skies. At this point, I feel it's worth mentioning my photography hopes. I wasn't interested in pretty colourful blue sky images but was rather hoping for dark stormy skies full of menace (but without all the bloody rain) so in hindsight, be careful what you wish for!
After a couple of snap shots at either end of Loch Lomond we headed straight for my first proper location shot - the Black Rock cottage, just off the A82 and on the single track road to the Glencoe Mountain Resort. Holidaying at this time of year I was expecting very few tourists, but how wrong could I be! The area was packed and parking a nightmare, but more of that in another upload. When we arrived at this cottage my heart sank as hikers and mountaineers had already parked up were busy unloading their gear from their cars right in front of the cottage.
Having been on the road for a good six hours, I couldn't hide my disappointment of not having a clear shot, free of people and cars so I wandered across to the group of people to have a friendly Mancunian word. I politely asked how long they were staying and if their cars would be parked up the whole time. It turns out they were there for the weekend, but were also curious as to why I was asking. Explaining my wish to get a photo, the friendly group not only moved their gear and cars but also took some shots themselves and invited us in to have a look around the cottage. Turns out they were all members of the LSCC who administer bookings for the cottage. We spent a good half hour talking to them all and learnt a few things about the area.
I know this is just another cliché shot of this familiar landmark, but I can't speak highly enough of the people there for going out of their way to make this shot happen for me. In hindsight, turned out to be one of the best days of the holiday and it was only the start!

An intense frolic of anther scratching ecstasy.
She spends a full minute on each flower, covering herself in pollen, then tidies it all to her corbiculae. Great to watch her through the lens between clicks. I will post some the pictures of her with loads of the big pollen grains on her over the next day or 2.

This week-end involved 2 Heritage Railways with the Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
Here, after arriving at the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway (EVR) for their Steam in the Valley 21 Event and going on a journey behind Steam Locomotive "Henry Ellison" from Wirksworth Station on a train up the very steep 1 in 27 Ravenstor Incline, I went along the line to Duffield Station and back hauled by BR Std. 4 Tank 80080.
Here, Back at Wirksworth Station - after my second round trip and just before setting off to stay near Kings Lynn to go to the NNR on Sunday, I got my last photo of the "Steam in the Valley 21" Event and of the other main heritage line loco in use this day GWR 9466.
9466 was designed by Hawksworth as part of the "94xx Class" for the GWR which rather strangely was built at Robert Stephenson and Hawthorn Ltd at Darlington as a 0-6-0PT.

Pale cream pollen load. A single bee continuously working this pot yesterday. Easy to photograph as the pot is on the the patio table!
There is something a bit strange but pleasant about sitting comfortably while taking bee-on-flower macros. I am used to lying on the ground or being in uncomfortable stances trying to reach the shot.

A Photo from Day 4 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
The West Somerset Railway runs trains from Bishops Lydeard station to Dunster with a bus transfer to Minehead at the moment due to a problem with a level crossing.
There is ample car parking at the Bishops Lydeard end of the line so I started there.
The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there were 3 steam excursion running hauled by Steam Locomotives.
Here, 7822 "Foxcote Manor" is about to power the Steam Excursion I have a ticket for.
7822 is a Collett designed GWR "Manor Class" 4-6-0 loco.

The Wainwrights are the 214 fells (hills and mountains) described in A. Wainwright's seven-volume Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells (1955–66). Over two million copies of the Pictorial Guides have been sold worldwide since their publication.
But not to me... I just went walking in the Lakes a lot and sort of did them all by chance. I had a friend, sadly passed away now, who was an obsessive ticker and list fanatic and I just went wherever I was told.
We got to all sorts of obscure places when he decided he felt the need to visit every single spot height and contour ring over 1,000 feet in the Lakes.... he did them all, I even still have his spreadsheet somewhere with all of them on if anyone fancies a challenge?

Enjoy. Why not? Of course you will. I know, you know it.
Corylopsis veitchiana is a shrub/small tree in the witch hazel family (Hamamelidaceae). Very attractive looking in flower. This one is about 2 metres tall.
There were a few bees working it.
As far as i could see for think for nectar only.

This plant was buzzing with both honey bees and white tailed bumble bees on Thursday at Rowallane Gardens. Good to clock it as a good bee plant that i hadnt known about and to get to add a new entry to my Honey bees on named flowers set!

____________________________________
Edit>>December 1st 2018: - I have decided to pick this as best picture of year for me. Certainly not one of my more popular pictures. Not explored (I got more pictures explored this year than any previous year on Flickr). It is technically questionable for a couple of reasons. However still something I just really like about this one.
I have got into Honey bees on named flowers pictures last couple of years and have a very nerdy botanically sorted spreadsheet at:
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-_uJANb_oKgIZLEvm0mFjYq3W...
In the garden.
Gorse and dandelion are what my bees are on at present. I have 10 apple trees in flower in the garden and lots of crabapples in the hedges but hardly any bees visiting them. I also have a great bay leaf tree covered in flowers and thought it would be great for a bee on flower picture but the bees are just not interested - It is about 20 meters from the hives.
Most of my hives have dark bees but one strong hive has a lot of bees with orange bands so I am pretty sure this girl is from that hive.

A Photo from Day 4 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
The West Somerset Railway runs trains from Bishops Lydeard station to Dunster with a bus transfer to Minehead at the moment due to a problem with a level crossing.
There is ample car parking at the Bishops Lydeard end of the line so I started there.
The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there were 3 steam excursion running hauled by Steam Locomotives.
Here, I am on a train hauled by GWR large Prairie 5199 passing 7822 "Foxcote Manor" while on the Steam Excursion return journey to Bishops Lydeard from Dunster.
7822 is a Collett designed GWR "Manor Class" 4-6-0 loco.

A Photo from Day 5 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
The East Somerset Railway (ESR) runs trains from Cranmore station to Mendip Vale station and back on a 5 mile round trip along its Heritage Railway line.
Along the line, there is also a halt and Cranmore West Station which is near the Sheds.
There is ample car parking at the Cranmore end of the line on normal running days so I started there.
The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there was only 1 steam Locomotive running although another was at the sheds and could have been steamed if thought necessary.
Here, at Cranmore Station, my last photo on this visit to ESR is of 46447 which has just powered the return journey the Steam Train I have a day rover ticket for and which I joined at Cranmore West station after visiting the Sheds.
46447 is a Ivatt designed LMS "Class 2" 2MT 2-6-0 loco.

Another Double Railway Day and I decided to go to the North Norfolk Railway (NNR) in the morning and I can move onto the Mid Norfolk Railway (MNR) in the afternoon. It is only about 50 minutes by car between the 2 railways.
When I arrived at Dereham Station on the Mid Norfolk Railway (MNR), there were 2 Locomotives operating.
Here, at Dereham Station, GWR 813 is in steam and moving up and down the station from time to time and is posing for Photographs with a few freight wagons.
