The Flickr Lounge: Week 39: They come in twos.
Actually Balck Skimmers do not come in twos. They tend to travel in flocks. ( See below.) But I just happened to see a couple of them at the edge of the flock.
I could have picked up this pair of geisha figurines for only $48, but I settled for a free picture instead.
Day 7 of Pentax Forum's Daily in January 2018 Challenge
(Theme: blur).

We've completed two weeks after one round of chemo. Second week has been kind of a roller coaster in terms of progress. There were so many variations and keeping track of it felt a little exhausting.
Say someone is on a path to lose some holiday weight and takes measurement every day. If you look closely at each dayâs value, itâll go up and down and you might feel that there isn't any progress made. But if you look at trends of say 7 day window, then it becomes a lot easier to see if you are making progress or not. Tracking Thunderâs food intake has been a similar experience.
On an average Thunder has been eating close to 2 cups. Earlier heâd finish his entire intake in one sitting. Now he spreads it over the entire day by consuming smaller portions. Along with this, his interest in baked chicken has gone back to being normal. Overall there has been good changes to his appetite. Iâm not sure if this is due to the daily drugs he consumes or not, but at the moment this has been a welcome change.
We have Babar as a guest at home. He is a dachshund and a cute little fella. Why him? A bit about Thunderâs personality.
Thunder is a very dominant one. Generally he is curious about other dogs and will engage in some rough play. He only prefers to run and can get irritated if the other dog is all over his face. As long as they are around and not dominant, heâll get along just fine. But if we bump into another dominant dog, then heâll surely get into a fight. Weâve had some close calls and I can go over elaborate details about those encounters. Iâll reserve it for another day.
Size does matter to him. Heâll pick fights with other dominant dogs only if they are medium sized and above. Small ones, he really doesnât care and will avoid them. That's where Babar fits in. He is small and very vocal. Babar can bark all day and still have energy to run a couple of soccer fields in the evening. Thunder tolerates Babar, no matter how loud his barks are. When it's done too much an occasional growl is all it takes for Babar to slightly back off and they both are happy puppies. Thanks to Babarâs dad (Ashish Kasturiya) for allowing Babar to come and stay with us.
We move onto week 3 and at the end of it, will be ready for the second round of testing. Thanks to all of you for your prayers and wishes. They are very much appreciated!

Two Norfolk Southern Railway trains meet at what railroaders called Devine Junction in Columbia, South Carolina. The name harkens back to when this area was filled with warehouses and manufacturing facilities.
The rock train is on the W Line waiting for NS local train P75 which is on the R Line heading south.
In the past 20 years, DV has morphed into the Greek Village for the University of South Carolina. It was probably a really good idea to mix college students and freight trains.

On Wednesday, 13 September 2023, I couldn't stop thinking about all the beautiful Shaggy Mane/Ink Cap mushrooms that I had seen growing at a certain location in Kananaskis in September twice before. So, with that as my destination, I set out for a long drive (346 km in total), leaving home at 9:15 am..
The weather forecast was good, apart from the few raindrops that fell on my windscreen. Not too hot, either. Fall colours were starting to show.
A Red-tailed Hawk was the first thing I came across, perched on a fence post way out in a field. This was followed by a small cattle drive, moving the cattle from one field, across the road into another field. I must admit that I was amused at watching the cowboys on their horses who tried their best, but failed, to catch three or four of the cows, who absolutely refused to do what they were supposed to do. A moment later, a convoy of massive cattle trucks came down the road and turned into the ranch where most of the cows now were. I always love seeing a cattle drive, even though this one was shorter than others I have seen.
Continuing my drive, the next sighting was a small group of Bighorn Sheep, females and young ones. A while later, I reached my mushroom destination and was delighted to find a sprinkling of these fascinating fungi. A few were already turning into black ink, but others were fairly young.
At one point in my drive, I stopped to take a scenic shot or two and found two people were standing there. One man was holding a bear tracking device and I was thrilled to bits to be able to listen to the beeping sound coming from the Grizzly Bear's collar to the tracking device. This gentleman told me all sorts of interesting information and I really appreciated his taking the time to chat. I would never have spotted the bear, very high up on a distant mountain slope. Describing what I saw with the naked eye as smaller than a distant 'speck' turned into a larger speck once I had zoomed in on my camera. As you can see from the photo I posted, the bear was a long, long way off! It kept disappearing into the trees, but then would descend the slope a little way and sometimes would break into a very short run, possibly chasing a Ground Squirrel. A young man was accompanying the man with the tracker. I wish him all the very best and hope he eventually finds a career that is interesting and in beautiful surroundings. So glad I met both these people. It made my day!
Another place I stopped was to see if I could find an American Pika. After my really bad trip and fall back in the city one year ago, this rock-covered ground was definitely not the best idea. However, I only climbed a matter of a few steps, holding tight to my hiking pole and moving extremely slowly and carefully. My reward was seeing two little Pikas, so busy collecting plants to store in their 'caves' for the winter. Not the best photos I've ever taken of these cute little creatures, but a few are OK to post. My focus was more on trying to make sure I didn't trip over any rocks.
While I was watching the Pikas, I could hear some kind of sound and eventually realized it was coming from three distant Bighorn Sheep that were standing on the highest ridge. After a while, one appeared near the highway and she stood and waited in the middle of the road for quite a while, looking up the slope for the others. I didn't see them at all, but I'm sure she must have found them in the end.
I continued my drive to another favourite scenic location, then turned around to face the long drive home. What started off as a mushroom drive turned into a great day of unexpected and much-appreciated happenings!
