Waterfall Wednesday - a little Yosemite love! Yosemite falls is usually dry in the fall when we like to visit. This was a real treat!

The hospital sent Graham home this afternoon, by ambulance, with instructions to rest. Although, he's still having huge problems with walking. With the help of a friend we've upped the home nursing care to every day, rather than 3 times a week; although I'm not sure if that counts the weekend too, but I hope so.
Apparently, the hospital said his foot/ankle wasn't broken - we didn't think it was, and that's about it. Neither of us overly impressed. Just hope that whatever is wrong with his foot clears up on its own.
I'll do my best to keep up, but obviously G comes first. I might even get out at some point for some new photos, but that all depends on when and if I can leave G.
Better viewed large, and thank you for your favourites. :)
Winter swells pounding the NSW coastline under an East Coast Low weather system. Penguin Head provides a front row seat to watch the Culburra Bombora working.
Down to Dave’s father’s the other day. Dave was out in the front yard fixing his dad’s birdfeeder. Maggie was sitting on the desk watching the activity in the front yard.
Happy Window Wednesday.

Goody Addams: The path of a Raven is a solitary one. You end up alone, unable to trust others, only seeing the darkness within them.
Wednesday Addams: Is that supposed to scare me?
Goody Addams: It should.

A misty morning with intentional blur. This is how Melbournians may be feeling as we learn today whether our lockdown is extended (Yes another 7 days until 10 June inclusive). Infections are being tracked to NSW and around into regional Victoria which is concerning.
So more vigilance and more vaccinations are the tasks for authorities today. For me, I am so rugged up against the cooler days and waiting it out, working from home and wandering the streets again for my daily exercise.
With a bit of wonderful Kerstin Frank texture.
A lovely socially distancing walk today from Woodbridge to Martlesham - quite a few butterflies on the wing,and this Comma settled long enough for a shot ot two Happy Wing Wednesday everyone!
Doing a random act of kindness recently, I had the occasion to go down the side of this neighbor's house (which is a few house down from me). Built the same year as mine ... 1925 ... I had the opportunity to see his side windows, the same as mine, same trim, same doo-dad hardware on the upper trim piece. I always wondered and pretty much thought it was hardware to hang a screen from. You see, 100 years ago they didn't have screens in their windows in these Florida cracker houses in The Packing District. And lo and behold, he's got the original screens, hung up and everything. Bless his heart he's having hard times, but he made my day and didn't even know it.
I want to have screens made again for my windows for the historic aesthetics (although I have new PGT WinGuard hurricane windows installed in mine). I just wonder where I'll ever find the hardware that goes on the screen part.
Anyway, interesting for me and I hope for you. Happy Window Wednesday.
PS October 2025 ... I sure do miss Happy Window Wednesdays and miss you all.
The Tin House can be found in Ottawa’s ByWard Market. This popular attraction was installed in 1973, and hangs on a building wall in a courtyard that is now named after the work.
The Tin House is a reconstruction of the facade from a house that was owned by Honoré Foisy, which was located a few blocks from the ByWard Market. Foisy was a tinsmith who used sheet metal to create a facade that was made to look like other building materials, such as wood and brick.
When the house was demolished in 1961, the facade was saved, and later reconstructed by artist Art Price, using the original work, along with other re-created pieces.

La maison de fer-blanc est installée au marché By, à Ottawa. Depuis 1973, cette œuvre est accrochée à l’un des édifices de la cour qui porte maintenant son nom et dont elle est devenue l’attraction artistique.
Il s’agit de la reconstruction de la façade de la maison d’Honoré Foisy, qui se trouvait à quelques coins de rue du marché. Foisy, un ferblantier, s’était servi de feuilles de métal pour créer une façade imitant d’autres matériaux, comme le bois et la brique.
Quand, en 1961, la maison a été démolie, on a sauvé la façade qui a ensuite été reconstruite par l’artiste Art Price à partir de l’original et de pièces fabriquées.
I came across a flock of Musk Lorikeets feeding in a Flowering Gum Tree in Royal Park yesterday. This one obliged for a shot.
Happy Wing Wednesday!

This is the shot I took for last week and couldn't find it. This new apartment building across from the AdventHealth Cancer Institute is finally all finished, all decorated and landscaped. It's really beautiful.
Happy WIndow Wednesday, ya'll, and may God bless you for your visit and comment.
In a double whammy Water/WSOR Wednesday submission, I continue with the Reedsburg Sub. Here L863, now with the 3947 and 4187, are almost home as they cross the Yahara River at Westport, north of Madison, with a big slug of grain from Rock Springs.
I don't remember exactly how the events of this day unfolded to get L863 heading south through here early Friday afternoon. I do recall that the train died at Baraboo the previous night. The crew ended up overnighting in Reedsburg and went on duty the next day to bring this train south.
At any rate, by winter 2018, it was getting pretty hard to find L863 down here in daylight; the last time I had chased a train south of Baraboo was in the autumn of 2017. Funny enough, this would mark the last time I chased a train south out of Baraboo since. Eventually, L463/L863 would be replaced by L467/L867, a Baraboo Turn/Rock Springs Job respectively.
I must come clean, I did some trickery here and removed some wires to the left of frame.
I have more photos from this spot and the rest of the line in my Reedsburg Subdivision Album.
