To those who don't know me. I suffer from fibromyalgia and go through periods of immense pain and cannot do the typing to properly thank you all. Please accept my thanks here for your faves & comments.
Ok, ok - birds don't have tonsils like we do... but they have similar lymphoid tissue in their throats too and it is located to the left and the right of the vertical slot (the choana), sometimes indeed called the pharyngeal tonsils.
This juvenile red-backed shrike, who probably had just left its nest as it hard a hard time flying anything more than 5 meters at a time, shows its pharyngeal tonsils quite well, while calling for its dad, who was sitting nearby.
He might act all rough and tough but those eyes just don't lie.. Always so soft and gentle.
Thank you Zyrus for posing with me. Always great to see you.

This was one of those mornings when I knew that the amount of available light was going to be minimal due to the thick fog that enveloped the Looe River. There were sporadic moments when the sun would make a fleeting appearance and those were the occasions when I needed to be ready, with camera mounted on tripod and ND grad filters in position. I worked hard on my photography during this particular morning and my remit was to make some images from from the West Looe side of the river. This was possibly my strongest effort.
***This pic is dedicated for two great personns that I knew SION Y ARIA... for all or their softness, their kindness, their large heart and all tender thoughts that I carry to them...***
What did you say
I know I saw you saying it
My ears won't stop ringing
Long enough to hear
Those sweet words
What did you say
And now the day
The hour hand has spun
Before the night is done
I just have to hear
Those sweet words
Spoken like a melody
All your love
Is a lost balloon
Rising up through the afternoon
'Til it could fit on the head of a pin
Come on in
Did you have a hard time sleeping
'Cause a heavy moon was keeping you awake
And all I know is I'm just glad to see you again
See my love
Like a lost balloon
Rising up through the afternoon
And then you appear
What did you say
I know I saw you saying it
My ears won't stop ringing
Long enough to hear
Those sweet words
And your simple melody
I just have to hear
Your sweet words
Spoken like a melody
I just wanna hear
Those sweet words

Those familiar with Ansel Adams may recognize this scene.
I used a 5x7 crop instead of the original 4x5 (medium format), and include more of the land on the right side. I couldn't get on top of a van to see more river. Plus the pine tree forest is older and larger with more growth obscuring the left bend in the river, and the mountains are capped by a storm.
What a delight to follow Ansel Adams' footsteps.
on a perfectly crispy chilly sunshiny morning and you idealize it
(and of course the reality is different)

God, hear me!
They told me you didn't exist, and I trusted them like a jerk.
But last night, in the garnet hole, I saw your heaven.
Suddenly, I realized they were lying to me.
If I tried to take a good look
on the things you created,
I'd understand right away that those
they denied that the cat is cat.
It's strange that I had to
get to this hell,
so I can have time to see your face
I like you so much...
That's what I wanted you to know.
There's going to be a terrible battle coming up.
Who knows?
Maybe I'll come to your place tonight.
We weren't good friends,
And I'm asking, my God,
will you be waiting for me at the door?
Look, this is how I cry!
I'm the one who's here going to start whining!
If only I'd known you sooner...
let's go! We have to go now!
It's ridiculous:
When I met you,
I'm not afraid to die anymore.
goodbye!

I shot this in the store of Abercrombie and Fitch in NYC..this male models job is "greeter", basically standing at the door with just a pair of jeans on and smiling..the girl is a tourist..
Those of you who looked at yesterday's post saw a Coyote from September, still wearing its sleek summer coat. This one, from two years ago, is decked out for winter: thicker fur, in which she can withstand the coldest weather. Of course, at 40 below she will probably sleep a lot, curled up in her cozy den in some remote hillside or embankment.

A final image from my pre-Christmas Torridon trip. With the sky finally clearing over Liathach I was hopeful that when we made our last stop at Beinn Alligin the peaks would be equally visible. It was therefore somewhat disappointing to find the cloud seemed to be persistently clinging around the tops. Eventually it broke almost enough for an image of Alligin to the left and Beinn Dearg at right, with a small falls on the Abhainn Coire Mhic Nobuil adding some interest in the sunlit foreground.
This was another one of those days where the weather just wouldn't play ball. Great, fast moving clouds that I knew would create a really atmospheric, long exposure image. But my progress was hampered by squally rain showers that regularly peppered me just as I was set up and ready to shoot. Fortunately, there was a break in the showers that was long enough for me to get a couple of compositions in the bag. Having to work quickly is not something I like to do but nonetheless, I am pleased with the images I got of Cullen Bay in Morayshire, Scotland.
I just couldn't get enough of these units...unquestionably my favorites I saw on my trip. Man they just sounded sooooo good! Despite being cloaked in CN red, white and black, that is only skin deep as these are original home road units, Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway 211 and 212! In fact these two EMD SD38-2s are the very last orignal bought new Missabe units still on the property, part of a five unit order of the 2000 hp normally aspirated locomotives delivered in 1975. The model was a relatively small seller for EMD with just a total of 90 produced including 13 each for sister US Steel roads EJE and BLE.
This shot looks south off the popular St. Louis River Road bridge at the north end of Proctor yard right at about MP 9.1 on modern day CN's North Division Missabe Subdivision mainline. The veteran duo are emitting a nice haze of EMD blue smoke as they switch on the E lead pulling up the Southbound with a cut of mixed freight.
This is an area that needs no introduction to even the most casual fan as the Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway is in a word legendary. I won't bore you with pages of history as I couldn't do the road or region justice anyway. It simply needs to be experienced for oneself. But I will direct you to two resources. Absolutely check out the fabulous historical information here: www.missabe.com/

For those of you who enjoy black and white photography, please visit and join my group www.flickr.com/groups/fabworldinbw/ where a lot of very talented photographers and artists are sharing their extraordinary work.
I sometimes find myself reshooting places. Sometimes it's purposely planned. Other times, like this, it's purely accidental.
Well, not purely.
I follow a path when I travel. I have certain things I need to shoot, and I generally don't deviate from that path. Somehow this old service station was on my path, but not marked as a stop.
This happens a lot too. I have no idea how long a day will last or where I'll stay or get to even the next day. I love traveling like this. There's enough of a sense of wandering to satisfy that primal urge. But there's also a sense of order to satisfy all those orderly bits about me.

I have always granted myself the freedom to exercise artistic license and pursue whatever brings me joy. Currently, shots from my cellphone and digital AI artwork fulfill that purpose, at least for the time being.
If in doubt which is my work and which is Generative AI, just look for the watermark on my photography.

Stora Sundby - Södermanland - Sverige / Sweden
In the middle of beautiful Södermanland lies Stora Sundby Castle, overlooking the waters of Lake Hjälmaren. The history of the estate dates back to the Middle Ages, when a defensive fortress was established on the site.
The architectural features of the castle resemble those of a calendar, four large towers symbolizing the seasons, twelve small towers symbolizing the months of the year, 52 rooms symbolizing the weeks of the year, and a window for each day of the year (365). Architect was Peter Frederick Robinson.
Looking particularly sharp in that colour and with those Alfa Romeo (155?) wheels.
Just back from the now annual trip to Turin, and a satisfying amount of photos taken, although it still isn't as easy spotting cars there as it was in Catania.

You just have to love flickr's autotags......listen guys: these are NOT toucans !
One of those photo's I probably should not have published, every so now and than you screw up and this is one of the finest of my, walking the dogs on a fine summer day and you see the sun light and the shadows and in your mind it's all you can think of and as a done deal, this is gone be a fine shot, and I forget the check the meter in the camera, bonkers son of a ......
So why published then you might ask, because this is still my photography, and also a bad photo is still a photo, and in some sort of way I do like the idea of making this photo, hopefully the next time I keep my mind on the job and check the light before shooting.
