It’s Titfield Thunderbolt Thursday and there appears to be a problem with a flatbed lorry that’s ‘broken down’ on the crossing.
Standing in front of the engine, Terry Tuttle-Thomas-Smythe is always on the lookout for a business opportunity, and just like in that well known scene in our favourite Ealing Comedy thinks ‘ah, a stand-off, how very wonderful, please place your bets with me now”.
Waving Wayne cues the stand-off to begin, though there is a little confusion because Wayne has been waving for years, he even waves in his sleep by all accounts. Meanwhile Bob Geeza Cat sits on the dinghy in the canal watching the proceedings and quickly comes to the conclusion that he’s probably in the best place especially if things get explosive.
And finally, Deidre shouts over to George and says that she’ll dump him if he sides with the road haulage company.

A stunning supercell storm over the vast plains of Colorado, this storm produced thousands of lightning bolts and several funnel clouds with powerful straight-line winds, dramatic to watch and difficult to photograph at times. Colorado, USA.
If you would like to chase storms across America and learn how to capture images like these, we will be running a 10-day photography tour in June 2020, with www.weatherholidays.com This will be Tour 5 of the 2020 chase season starting in Denver.

A little Queen throwback...because that is what I think of when I see bolts of lightning!
Came across this shot in the archives...A year and a half has gone by since I had a chance to storm chase. It feels like forever. I guess I should take a moment to update everyone on life here on the Banks. Here goes...
Two years ago I took a leap of faith and signed on with two shops and two galleries for my art and photography. My first year and second I was in one, and keeping fairly busy. That one turned out not to be a good fit for me. She refused to take my photos...only my art, because she already had “a photographer” selling in her shop. Not even considering my style being very different than the other person. She always eyed my somewhat fun and playful art pieces with a skeptic eye but would place them in the store. They would sell. After a few times, she said to me “I don’t know what it is about your art. It is not something I would buy, but people seem to love it...so go home and make more weird art.” I suppose that was a kind of back hand compliment, but began to think she was quite passive aggressive.
Fast forward to halfway into year two...the said owner has now branched out to include a restaurant...(which has since closed because of many issues, not the least being her passive aggressive personality). our checks, due on the 5th were becoming more and more late. Sometimes close to the time for the next check. She kept telling us it was a “banking mix up” but I sensed it had to do with moving funds around because she was over extended AND had opened another store. I gave notice that I would not be renewing my contract with her. She was not happy....oh well!
I was given the name of a new shop looking for vendors and so I talked with the owner...and took that leap of faith to pay for a vendor space. I am delighted ...she and I are SO on the same page it is amazing and I love having my things there. She makes her 15 or so vendors laugh and is always willing to help us out! From there I signed on to another brand new shop, because I had a really good feeling about it when I interviewed and showed samples of my work... I do VERY well there in spite of some people saying it might not go well due to location...but it has been fantastic! I then was asked to place my photos in a gallery about 45 minutes down island...and that gave me the impetus to finally show my artwork to my favorite gallery here...one that I told myself if I aver got into I would die a happy woman!! I was accepted and even have someone that shops there...no clue who she is...that “follows” my work and is on the store waiting list for when I new painted Dough Bowls come in!
This, in a nutshell is why I have been MIA for awhile, as things got so busy I was chained to my table making art! I exhausted myself, because with the pick up in the economy here, Pre-season has been rolling in in March instead of April and Second season has been lasting until Christmas and the restaurants that used to close for winter are opening earlier or staying open all year!
Time management is my goal this year...with scheduled time for Flickr and my friends. Miss and love all of you that have followed me on my journey...you are indeed my floaties on the sea of life!
Finalmente anche io posso dire di averne fotografato uno :)
Scatto che ha sicuramente errori tecnici, attenderò una seconda uscita per fotografarli come si deve :)
