Yesterday, I saw this Great Blue Heron standing in the water about 200- 400 yards up the beach from me. So, I slowly made my way up towards it to hopefully get a shot or two. But I hadn't gone very far before I could tell it was about to go fishing, so I quickly grabbed a few shots as it came up with this fish. Looks like a perch of some kind. I took some shots of one fishing in this area a few years ago and it came up with an eel.
This is obviously a crop. If you want to see how much of one, check the next image. Lots of detail as you can see ... water drops, bill piercing the fish, etc. Certainly happy with the Sigma 150-600/ D810 combo.
I did get a little closer and the next shot after the original from this one is a crop from one of those closer images. Better, as you can see.
As a comparison of the Sigma 150-600/Nikon D810 gear, compare it with a shot I took in much the same area in July of 2013 with the Sigma 150-500/NikonD300. That one is not a crop, by the way. Wish I could get that close now.
Osprey flies with its prize over the 'Deep Hole' at Lower Myakka Lake, Myakka State Park, Florida (5 March, 2020) Almost got some eyeshine in the fish, which may be a white crappie.
Pop-Up Event
✨Thank you everyone for making this event a great success!✨
We had no idea what to expect but today's turnout was amazing! Costumes and outfits were on point, and so was the music! Our team at INIQUITY has been elated all day long! ☺️💖
Big thank you once again to our sponsors: LAVIARA, Kaithleen's, Lalou, and Bee Designs! Today could not have happened without you and your support!
Now let's play a game shall we?
🔬Spot the avie! Tag your friends, if you see them!
Today we ran around Prospect Park without stopping for the first time. We’d set a goal of being able to do that by June and now we’ve done it. Hot damn!
Andrew Barclay 0-4-0 saddle tank 'Success' (W/No.1167 built in 1909) and behind it, Hunslet 0-6-0 saddle tank 'Good Luck' (W/No.498 built in 1898) at Haunchwood colliery in the mid-1960s.
Both locos had been transferred there from Griff Colliery at Nuneaton but were not popular. 'Success' saw a very limited amount of use. They spent a long period dumped in the open until both were scrapped in June 1966 by John Cashmore Ltd of Great Bridge.
Thanks to Gordon Edgar for the information.

When we share laughter, there's twice the fun;
When we share success, we surpass what we've done.
When we share problems, there's half the pain;
When we share tears, a rainbow follows rain.
When we share dreams, they become more real;
When we share secrets, it's our hearts we reveal.
If we share a smile, that's when our love shows;
If we share a hug, that's when our love grows.
If we share with someone on whom we depend,
that person is always a very true friend.
And what draws us closer and makes us all care,
Is not what we have, but the things we share.
Today I share this poem with you...
To show how much I care...
And to thank you for sharing your friendship with me.

A Titan-ic success: Here is Webb’s first look at Saturn’s largest moon, Titan. Because Titan has a dense atmosphere, its surface is hidden in visible light. Enter Webb’s infrared eye, which captured clouds as well as bright & dark patches on its surface.
Titan is unique in the solar system. It is the only planetary body other than Earth that has rivers, lakes, and seas. Rather than water, they are made up of “hydrocarbons” — molecules like ethane and methane.
The two clouds seen by Webb validate long-held predictions that clouds form in the northern hemisphere during Titan's late summer, when the Sun warms its surface. Follow-up observations by the Keck Observatory also revealed clouds, confirming seasonal weather patterns.
Note that this is Webb science in progress and has not yet been peer reviewed. Scientists are still analyzing data and have more observations planned, which will probe the composition and surface of this region in ways even the Cassini spacecraft could not.

Image description:
Side-by-side images of Saturn’s moon Titan, captured by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera on November 4, 2022. Left image labeled “lower atmosphere and clouds” is various shades of red, from nearly black to nearly white. Three bright spots are labeled. Spot along the edge at 11 o’clock is labeled “Cloud A.” A larger, brighter spot at 1 o’clock is labeled “Cloud B.” A nearly white, crescent-shaped spot along the bottom from about 5 to 7 o’clock is labeled “Atmospheric Haze.” Right image labeled “atmosphere and surface,” is shades of white, blue, and brown. Clouds A and B are bright spots in the same locations as in the left-hand image. Cloud A, at 11 o’clock, is quite small and subtle. Cloud B, at 1 o’clock, is brighter and appears larger than in the left-hand image. Three surface features are labeled: Dark patch near Cloud A labeled “Kraken Mare.” Dark patch in middle lower right quadrant labeled “Belet.” Bright patch just inside the edge at about 4 o’clock labeled “Adiri.”
She has been told a million times that she would never have a successful career with tattoos. Wrong!
After several weekends of trying a number of fixes, the beast roared once again. Apparently comments like "well, you are a chemical engineer" and "just call the guy" are considered a "throw-down" to a stubborn do-it-yourselfer. He was rightfully beaming this afternoon. Bring on the snow!

Having made it back from Mt. Pocono, the quintet of ALCos drift out of Nay-Aug Tunnel and into Scranton, PA having made another successful round trip.
Wonderful to see this little duckling---totally delighted: he finally got the worm!

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

Emirates 235 from Dubai wraps up it's 14hr 47min flight to Chicago. Since service to Chicago began in August of last year, 66,000 pax and over 3,400 tons of cargo have flown between ORD and Dubai. As a result of this success, Emirates plans to replace the 77L with the 77W this spring.
Being a fan of rallying I just love the cars Lancia made for this sport. Especially in the eighties Lancia had great successes with the Group B “037” and “Delta S4”, and later the Group A HF Delta Integrale, which originated from the Delta HF4WD in 1987. In 1991 the development of the HF Delta Integrale by the factory team came to its end and the final version was the “Evoluzione”.
In 1992 there was no official Lancia entry in the world rally championship, but the Martini sponsored cars where now run by Jolly Club, a well-known Italian semi-privateer team. It was thought the “Evoluzione” would be outcasted by the more modern Toyota Celica rally cars, but that didn’t really happen, and the factory title was once more taken.
The model I recreated with original Lego parts in scale 1:11 is the 1992 car driven by Frenchman Didier Auriol in the Tour de Corse, which he won with his navigator Bernard Occelli .
The model is composed of about 1700 bricks and build in four months. It has full detail in and outside, and functional doors, hood and bonnet. I designed the stickers together with Jaap Kroon, (www.flickr.com/photos/jaaptechnic), and Jaap tuned and refined them before cutting.
The third attempt to get the RHTT and the 6F22 ,being loaded, almost side by side.
The first one had the 66 near to the loader, and the second had the 66 behind the station wall.
66769 'Prostate Cancer' on the
6F22, while 56105 on the rear of the 3S71 which nearly caught me out as it was on time today,
after 2 days of late running.
Local News ! The Menai Suspension Bridge was closed today because of structural weakness. It could take up to 16 weeks to repair ! Not even cyclists or pedestrians to cross as well as vehicles.The Britannia
Bridge which gets queues at peak times anyway has become a nightmare on steroids !
Note: It has reopened for walkers and cyclists who push their bikes with monitors in attendance.

"To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need." --Emily Dickinson
(For Poetography Theme 82--Success; Literary Reference in Pictures)
A bee searches for nectar in a globe thistle (I think that's what it's called) at the Michigan State University arboretum. I asked him to hold still, but he refused. I didn't argue.
Seeking nectar is a bee's sorest need, but it's we humans Dickinson speaks of in her poem. For us, we understand how sorely we seek triumph, success, but like the defeated, dying soldier who hears "The distant strains of triumph/Burst agonized and clear," we don't define its value until we can't have it.
