The resident male looking worse for wear after a long summer feeding the kids. Looks like they have done well this year which is a relief after last years difficult conditions. He is back to taking larger food items now so I guess the current brood are well on the way to fledging. Got quite attached to these little guys over the last 12 months they make for such a beautiful subject the Himalayan balsam that grows all along the river gives a great background. This little guy sat in the rain tweeting away bringing a splash of colour on a grey old day.

things are gonna get worse - john cooper clarke
Will we look back on this modern 'rainbow era' of Pan Am in a few years with wistful fondness or disdain? Will whatever the future holds for the hallowed ground be better or worse? 2022 is shaping up to be an era of great change here, possibly as much or moreso even than the changes that were wrought in the 1980s. While those changes were decidedly for the worse one can only hope that the end of Pan Am brings something better....
For now though let's all endeavour to document what we have at the present for it is fleeting.
In this view looking east off the famed 'railfan bridge' at the west end of the former Boston and Maine East Deerfield yard we see a pair of nice looking matched B40-8s in the company colors making up their short four car EDSP which will be departing shortly for points south on the Conn River mainline. While off to the right a pair of much less attractive patched ex CSXT sisters sit on what may be an EDBF to head north up the Conn River later. Meanwhile over to the left in the pit a mix of EMD and GE power awaits the call to service with the jarring turquoise nosed C40-8W punctuating the lineup.
I really can't see how any would be sad to see either of those at left or right go away, but maybe these ugly beasts have their admirers.

Or worse, feeling interrupted and tired, "Wha—?
There might be things people will get away with. And not just motel towels. There might be great illicit loves, enduring joy, faith-shaking accidents with farm machinery. But you have to not know in order to see what stories your life’s efforts bring you. The mystery is all.”
― Lorrie Moore, Birds of America
it was worse a few years ago ...
I think we're getting accustomed to it ...
seen earlier today.
song by Hank Williams - "The Old Log Train"
some fascinating photos with the video.
It can't get much worse anyway.
BUT I have to admit that I've learned stuff today. For example, that according to the American president my continent is losing its culture because of the refugees we take in (we meaning these European countries that agree that there comes responsibility with being a part of the EU, not economic benefits only). I might doubt The Orange Pest has a notion of culture, but coming from a nation of mainly immigrants he must have put some thought into this before warning against them, I guess. Wouldn't have expected such a sophisticated conception of history though.
And as a side note: can we talk about the bravery of women for a moment? Theresa May had to have breakfast, lunch AND dinner with the man?! Different political views aside, female solidarity compels me to express my deepest respect for her.
Mountain Avens, I have looked for this high and low and never found it but there it was on Cairngorm Mountain but looking a bit worse for wear due to the strong winds and bad weather.
I HATE FEEET ! I think there so gross, but I got really bored and wanted to do something new. :)

1. My favorite color is purple.
2. I'm obsessed with fisheye lenses.
3. I can take pictures 24/7 and not get bored.
4. I love music & concerts.
5. I wish I lived in Seatle again or California.

7. The beach is my second home, I could be there everyday and not get bored.
8. I'm 5'7 1/2.
9. I always space out and i'm always smiling.

I would write waaay more but I can only write 16. :(
The day we reached Hallstatt, there was a cloud cover all day. Inclement weather isnt really a photographers friend and to make odds even worse, I decided to shoot this landscape on a 85 mm prime... with a tighter composition. Nevertheless the shot turned out to be one of my favorite images from this beautiful village... The dark skies, a perennial cloud cover, geese trying hard to stay warm and a distant white castle in the mountains are the kind of elements that do turn all odds in your favour.

While there are much worse things to have to do, sanding and staining/varnishing is one of my least favorite things to do on a project- but it's such a necessary part of any woodworking project. These panels are for a cart that will hold my new Bosch router table, and unlike the miter saw station I have to varnish both sides of the boards. That's a LOT of varnishing!
Side note: right before the camera clicked a family of deer bolted through my forest. They didn't even bother to help sand or varnish- how rude...

Nothing worse than being at school on a Sunday morning. Oh wait, I was also here yesterday too. Ahh, just got worse.
From hearthside to hilltop with deep valleys full of waterfalls and lochs holding remote impossible paths and hidden caves and well known places for either a fateful tryst, or a bold engagement with the elements, this bright and also then midnight world within worlds so readily generating the local lore and all framed up with the Church and the Law to give stories of reiving and smuggling, with tales of harsh impressment, worse imprisonment and of free rebellion bringing rightful conclusions of hell and damnation and dutiful fulfilment of sweet salvation. Pictured here is the landscape that within crofts and palaces, from ungovernable lawless banditry to righteous courts the people demanded to hear the stories and to enjoy any additions delicately woven within the weft of the telling such that hearts were set racing and breath was audibly held to hear of the facts and fictions that captivated their audience in the quite fabulous kenning of life and of fantastic love with severe and sweet sentiments flowing in the warp of the stories first told, repeated and crafted and then later collected and eventually published.
There are many lives shaped and even saved by the literature brought to life here in still running and racing heart the Scottish Borders. There are readers, listeners and viewers that have much more than idled their time in these highly praised poetic ballads and the rhapsodic idealised idylls and rather have instead seen the ways of history and remembered the times long gone with heroes and villains only known through the stories as the more formal records that remain lay closeted and less sought after than the fleshed out fanciful and factual literary treasures still selling in written form and in so much else the wonderful notion of this esteemed even venerated land, people and traditions giving a reverence to the continuation of the present informed in that tradition.
So the folklore and the stories have come to be told and retold, published and edited such that our history is focus and finessed from the hearthside through the bards words and the images available to our screens and so much more all across the internet fuelling the first flowering of some interests and fulfilling the passion of a sense of place and feeling of belonging for those that identify with the living and the dead upon this land.
Here the Sun is setting on the locations that were the inspiration of Thomas the Rhymer, here are the fields and flocks of James Hogg the Ettrick Shepherd, the banks of Baronial Sir Walter Scott and the bonnie braes of Robert Burns. This is the landscape that has now been transported around our world and is held in heart and mind and some will find it as soul food for their eternal sense of self. As the Sun sets the stories arise close by shared fires and in so many places and spaces that the light leaving the land sets us on our quest to embrace it all the better as we are shared companions with those that have loved and left it so loved for us to continue in the bright light and dark night aware of the consciousness around us propagating affection and the heat of a passion and of much due appreciation that brings us to great accomplishment.

Preserved GE boxcab CN 6710 is looking even worse then when I shot it in January 2016 and it seems it may only be a matter of time before it gets scrapped.
10 January 2021: The downward trend in the number of people testing positive for Covid-19 - based on the rolling average for 7 days - has been stopped. 1,776 people tested positive for coronavirus on average each day between 31 December and 6 January, a 10 percent rise on the week. This increase does not come as a surprise. However, there is no reason to panic, experts say. The number of Covid tests is 9 percent up on the week, standing at 30,100 per day. This is because fewer people had themselves tested during the Christmas holidays, and because many returning holiday makers are obliged to take a test when returning from a red zone abroad. Therefore, virologists have suggested that it may be better to look at the number of hospitalisations these days, since these are not subject to changing testing numbers. These numbers are still okay, with an average of 130 patients taken to hospital each day on average between 2 and 8 January. This figure, which is 3 days more recent, is 11 percent down on the week. However, the real test is still coming in the next two weeks, when we will see the full impact of returning tourists and the reopening of our schools. The key question is will it get worse before it will get better. To forget about the Covid saga we went for a long, corona proof, walk on the beach yesterday – De Haan, Belgium.

This looks worse than it was - these two are brothers and at the time they have a lot of fun together. In one or two years they'll be adults and won't live that easy together, and one of them will have to leave into another zoo. It was amazing to watch these two gicantic animals playing in the water, but while watching them I felt so sad thinking on their future in nature. The global warming will endanger so many wonderful creatures. When will we ever learn..?

A British idiom, meaning "there are much worse things than this". Probably owing its origin to the reputation of the sea as a place of disasters, wrecks and death.
Native English speakers offer another interpretation, that's to say "It is not that bad". This is a more optimistic interpretation.
This reminds me of the Engineer's Consolation, namely
"you can't fall off the floor" .

25 February 2021: The trend that was started earlier this week, is being continued as the average number of new Covid cases is up again. In the week to 21 February on average 2201 people tested positive each day in Belgium. The figure is up 20% on the week. In Ghent the rise is a staggering 70 percent. Whilst the coronavirus statistics are taking a turn for the worse the Flemish Prime Minister, Jan Jambon announced yesterday that serous relaxations will be possible as of April. Try to make sense out of that… Yesterday’s good news was that the FDA announced that the one-shot coronavirus vaccine made by J&J provides strong protection against severe disease and death from Covid-19 and may reduce the spread of the virus by vaccinated people. The same statement also said that the F.D.A. could authorize the vaccine as early as next Saturday. I’m wondering how long it will take for the EMA to come to the same conclusion. To cope with the frustration that is creeping up on me I’m continuing to snap my way around Ghent. On display today is a wimmelbild of a bored bus driver waiting for his passengers to arrive – Zuid, Ghent, Belgium.
"...worse things than that when you are young. The worst thing is when you have adults around you that forget that children are there to remind us the magic is real, that innocence is one of the things that’s big enough to create the world all over again every day, bigger & brighter every time. When you have adults around you who forget that, they do mean & stupid things that can hurt for your whole life."

The day we were leaving the storm got worse. Even so, we decided to access by another place to Los Urros. We wrap ourselves up to the eyebrows and with the essential gear we get out of the car in a moment of supposed calm. Within seconds the weather got even worse than before. Still, we made it to the cliff and took some photos. This is one of them.
No te rindas por una tormenta.
El día que nos íbamos la tormenta empeoró. Aún así, decidimos acceder por otro lugar hasta los Urros. Nos abrigamos hasta las cejas y con el equipo imprescindible salimos del coche en un momento de supuesta calma. A las pocos segundos el clima de puso todavía peor que antes. Aún así, llegamos al acantilado e hicimos algunas fotos. Esta es una de ellas.
