People just decide that their boat isn't worth it anymore, they dump it or maybe it breaks down. According to CJ a local boat captain it costs they county about 15k to remove these boats and they only have a budget each year of 85K. So, when these owners determine enough is enough for them, they remove the VIN numbers and anything of value and let the rest of us pick up the mess. I really dislike people like that. Best part.... If you look at the name of the boat close up... Integrity.

The Coso Petroglyphs have been subject to various interpretations as to their meaning and function. One perspective argues that the drawings are metaphoric images correlated with individual shamanic vision quests. Alternatively it has been argued that they are part of a hunting religion that included increase rites and were associated with a sheep cult ceremonial complex.[3][4] However these alternative explanations might be somewhat complementary in that the medicine persons could have been the artisans but their messages might have often been associated with religious observances centering on the veneration of bighorn sheep.[5]
In addition to the extant petroglyph rock art, the Coso People carried out extensive working of obsidian tools and other 'manufacturing.' There is considerable archaeological evidence substantiating trade of these products between the Coso People and other Indigenous peoples of the Americas and Native American tribes.[6] For example, distant trade with the southern Californian Pacific coast Chumash People is confirmed by archaeological recovery from California sites in San Luis Obispo County, California[7] and other coastal indigenous peoples' sites.
Big and Little Petroglyph Canyons are situated on property of the China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station. The two canyons are a designated U.S. National Historic Landmark. In 2001, they were incorporated into a larger National Historic Landmark District, called the Coso Rock Art District.[8]
In 2014, the Ridgecrest Petroglyph Festival was created as an annual celebration and showcase the petroglyphs located in the two canyons.

Birch trees need to be self reliant since they usually have no neighbouring tree species to give them shade or protection. They grow a lot faster than many other trees. But it also means that they “burnout” sooner from overtaxing their resources. In the book “The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben”, Peter says this, “ Birches rush through life, live beyond their means, and eventually wear themselves out.” Sounds like some people I know. Keep it simple folks. Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday.

The Arecaceae are a botanical family of perennial plants. Their growth form can be climbers, shrubs, tree-like and stemless plants, all commonly known as palms. Those having a tree-like form are colloquially called palm trees. They are flowering plants, a family in the monocot order Arecales. Currently 181 genera with around 2600 species are known, most of them restricted to tropical and subtropical climates. Most palms are distinguished by their large, compound, evergreen leaves, known as fronds, arranged at the top of an unbranched stem. However, palms exhibit an enormous diversity in physical characteristics and inhabit nearly every type of habitat within their range, from rainforests to deserts.
Palms are among the best known and most extensively cultivated plant families. They have been important to humans throughout much of history. Many common products and foods are derived from palms. In contemporary times, palms are also widely used in landscaping, making them one of the most economically important plants. In many historical cultures, because of their importance as food, palms were symbols for such ideas as victory, peace, and fertility. For inhabitants of cooler climates today, palms symbolize the tropics and vacations. Most palms are native to tropical and subtropical climates. Palms thrive in moist and hot climates but can be found in a variety of different habitats. Their diversity is highest in wet, lowland forests. South America, the Caribbean, and areas of the south Pacific and southern Asia are regions of concentration. Colombia may have the highest number of palm species in one country. 36744
ANY AND ALL SECOND LIFE have chosen my capture for their group cover. Thanks! That's cover number 73 for the hack here XD
These beautiful American White Pelicans are starting a group feeding. You can see that they are picking up speed by the amount of water they are pushing up.
American White Pelicans cooperate when feeding. Sometimes, large groups gather in wetlands. They coordinate their swimming to drive schooling fish toward the shallows. The pelicans can then easily scoop up these corralled fish from the water.
They are extraordinary creatures and one of my very favorites. More shots to come ... I wish I had had the presence of mind to turn on the video recorder!

The leaves of aspen trees are among the most wind-sensitive leaves of all plants. To me, they seem to act as a kind of sensorium to their surroundings. This beautiful partly backlit leaf was blown away a second after I took this picture. Tempus fugit—memento mori.

Their problem is that they want to eat grass of same place. A spat was the evidence that they get along with each other. After this photo, they walked together again. : )
Pretty is their bright red feathers, Crimson Rosellas are the most timid of all the birds who visit my yard. They wait on the periphery until the other birds leave, and often there is no food left, but I always find some extra for these beauties.
Most are seen during their autumn migration, when they are passing through Britain on journeys from Scandinavia to their African wintering grounds.

“Let him keep careful watch over his thoughts. Let him observe their intensity, their periods of decline and follow them as they rise and fall. Let him note well the complexity of his thoughts, their periodicity, the demons which cause them, with the order of their succession and the nature of their associations.”

He says, whenever you are plagued by distractions, “try to look over their shoulders, as it were, searching for something else—and that something is God, enclosed in the cloud of unknowing.”

After their overnight run from Medley, FL, FEC train 336 switches onto the Cemex City Point lead at CP City Point in Cocoa, FL.
CP City Point was rebuilt from its original configuration a few months prior to this photo. Originally, it was just the single main and the City Point lead with some standard vaders. Now, as you can see, there's a whole new main being built and two tracks that turn west off of the main to head toward Orlando for Brightline.
Rags, Caithlin, Bastian and their humans Finn & Lene wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Great Yuletide, Sweet Solistice or whatever you may celebrate with your loved ones. :)
Thank you for every Fave click - and for the wonderful work that you yourself have so generously shared here on Flickr. Keep love and hope alive at all times so that we may see light at the end of the tunnel... ♥ :)

"Like two cathedral towers these stately pines
Uplift their fretted summits tipped with cones;
The arch beneath them is not built with stones,
Not Art but Nature traced these lovely lines,
And carved this graceful arabesque of vines;
No organ but the wind here sighs and moans,
No sepulchre conceals a martyr's bones.
No marble bishop on his tomb reclines.
Enter! the pavement, carpeted with leaves,
Gives back a softened echo to thy tread!
Listen! the choir is singing; all the birds,
In leafy galleries beneath the eaves,
Are singing! listen, ere the sound be fled,
And learn there may be worship with out words."
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow~
While most of the northern states, and Canadian Provinces have already had their first snowfall of the year, the coastal region of BC has been blessed with positive temperatures and near constant rainfall instead. In spite of this, I set off this past weekend to shoot the Fraser Canyon. Train activity was quite slow for a Saturday morning, so I was forced to pivot from my plan to stay on the 'CP' side of the canyon, and instead go wherever the traffic was moving.
After hearing that I would have an extended drought of eastbounds running up the Cascade Sub, I headed over to the Yale Sub to wait for the next westbound departing Boston Bar. A new location that was on my list, was on the east side of the Chapman's Bar Tunnel. Credit for figuring out this location goes to Ryan A, who shot a great scene here a week prior. (Thanks Ryan!)

GLC's high bay where their drop table and crane are located is much different than it was when I was a kid. Recently GLC spray foamed the entire high bay to help insulate and keep the building warm. Until they did this the entire section of the shop was large windows that were cold drafty and not very efficient, also with the upgrade to make up for the lack of sun light they installed LED lighting. Here is what it used to look like. flic.kr/p/s7ACNQ
Their green flanks
and swells are not
flesh in any sense
matching ours,
we tell ourselves.
Nor their green
breast nor their
green shoulder nor
the langour of their
rolling over.

The common warthog (Phacochoerus africanus) is a wild member of the pig family (Suidae) found in grassland, savanna, and woodland in sub-Saharan Africa.
The common warthog is the only pig species that has adapted to grazing and savanna habitats. Its diet is omnivorous, composed of grasses, roots, berries and other fruits, bark, fungi, insects, eggs and carrion. During the wet seasons, warthogs graze on short perennial grasses. During the dry seasons, they subsist on bulbs, rhizomes, and nutritious roots.
Although they can dig their own burrows, they commonly occupy abandoned burrows of aardvarks and other animals. The common warthog reverses into burrows, with its head facing the opening and ready to burst out if necessary.
Although capable of fighting (males aggressively fight each other during mating season), the common warthog's primary defense is to flee by means of fast sprinting. The common warthog's main predators are humans, lions, leopards, cheetahs, crocodiles, wild dogs and hyenas.
Common warthogs are not territorial, but instead occupy a home range. Common warthogs live in groups called sounders. Females live in sounders with their young and with other females. Subadult males associate in bachelor groups, but live alone when they become adults. – Wikipedia
Many of the dabbling ducks use their flat bills to strain food items from the water, but the big spatulate bill of the Northern Shoveler is adapted to take this habit to the extreme. Flocks of shovelers often swim along with their big bills barely submerged in front of them, straining food from the muddy soup of shallow waters. Despite their heavy-set build, shovelers are good fliers; at large gatherings, groups often are seen taking off, circling the area repeatedly, then alighting again.

On a lazy Sunday afternoon sitting in the afternoon sunshine. Where did all those years ago ! The two gents sit engrossed watching a game of boules under the dappled shade of the tree .Probably, a routine they have followed for many a year.The one's has his walking frame by his side as he smokes his pipe,the other relaxed and watching proceedings as he perhaps fights to stay awake. This scene really caught my attention,so much character in their faces and so much interest in the shot.
They're all gathered at their burrow because an alarm was sounded for some threat. This time, I think it was someone walking near.
It's interesting to watch them develop. Just a week ago, they never wandered further than a few feet from the burrow. Now, they're out foraging, maybe up to 50-feet away. Still, they're all alert for threats and scurry back to the burrow whenever an alarm is sounded. I think there are unique alarms for things like birds of prey vs. people walking or a car nearing. They react with different degrees of caustion.

The hearts of young adults' parents bleed as they look over the graves in the Belgian Polygon Wood, when they read their names and especially when they see their age.
Australian and New Zealands troops fought in this wood in the First World War 1914-1918 during the battle for the town of Ypres (Ieper) that was occupied by the enemy.
The First World War was the most insane and useless War of all Wars.
For Australia and New Zealand the First World War was important in their identity formation after their independence.
