one of the goslings taking a few steps before flopping down in the grass again with its siblings ! so darn cute
May 2021
I was sitting at the computer and heard these little masked rascals in the feeder, I slid up the screen as quietly as I could and stuck my camera out the window for a few shots!
Good thing my friend Donald made a pretty sturdy "bird" feeder! I love the way they are looking at me!
I feel bad for my little flying squirrels, I could hear them squeeking out on the tree, this is the feeder they eat out of at night!
On a misty spring morning in 1804, John James Audubon crouched beneath a sycamore in rural Pennsylvania, his eyes fixed on a flighty eastern phoebe. Its tail flicked as it darted from a low perch, snagging a beetle mid-flight. Audubon, then a young naturalist with a wild mop of hair and a sketchbook tucked under his arm, had an idea—something no one had tried.
With a thin thread of silk from his wife Lucy’s sewing kit, he gently captured the bird, tying a delicate silver band around its leg. “A marker,” he murmured, “to know you again.” Released, the phoebe fluttered off, its sharp “fee-bee” call ringing through the woods.
As the following spring came to life, Audubon spotted that same thread on a returning phoebe, he grinned—proof of its journey. That simple act, born of curiosity and patience, sparked a legacy of bird banding, forever tying Audubon's name to ornithology.
it's funny. you go into shoots sometimes and parents have this whole idea of what they may want; running around frantically telling their kids to button up, change their shirt, stand up straight, stop hitting each other, start smiling, I can go on--
"act natural" is a phrase I've heard so many times and I've noticed that it's typically said when their true character has already fully unveiled itself. ofcourse the smiling photo is doable, but boys will be boys. the only thing you can do is work with their mischievous ways. throw in a few props and make a story.
Against a rocky backdrop, a girl expertly makes her way across a log spanning a depression in the Oboke Gorge, Shikoku Island, Japan. Some fall vegetation, including the pretty tassels of maiden silver grass (Miscanthus sinensis) are included in the shot.
And the award for the best supporting act goes to........
37716 and 37422 outside York Thrall (Holgate) during the evening on Sat 16th December 2023.
These are 2 out of a total of 5 Class 37’s that were included in the line up, following the end of the locomotives use on the 2023 railhead treatment trains based at York. I feel a bit mean referring to these 2 as a mere supporting act. They were of course much more than that, although it's probably fair to say that the majority of attention went the way of the other 3.
The photo shoot was organised by the well respected Network Rail Director Chris Gee, and involved a huge amount of detailed preparation and organisation amongst both DRS and Network Rail, as well as numerous individuals. It was a great success and all of the proceeds raised (£3,000.00) will be donated to Martin House Hospice.
Terwijl ACTS 7105 wacht om te mogen vertrekken met twee ketelwagens, een van GATX en een van Wascosa, rijdt een fraaie Rolls Royce weg die al een tijd geparkeerd stond achter me. Gelukkig vond de bestuurder een ruime keercirkel noodzakelijk :-)
Op verzoek van de gemeente Groningen herstart VAM in 1998 het vervoer van huisvuil per trein. Direct na de opening van de aansluiting in september 1998 start ACTS een dagelijkse afvaldienst naar Wijster. Vervoerd wordt GFT-afval, grof huishoudelijk afval en RDF, een restproduct van de vergistingsinstallatie die biogas produceert.
Vanaf 2001 wordt het RDF middels een wekelijkse rijdende afvaltrein naar Schwarze Pumpe in Spreewitz afgevoerd. Twee jaar later komt er tweemaal per week een RDF-trein bij naar Bremen. De trein naar Spreewitz vervalt herhaaldelijk, die naar naar Bremen stopt in het voorjaar van 2009. In de loop van 2010 wordt het vuilvervoer bij Vagron geheel gestopt.
In 2008 werden naast de Vagron-containers beladen met RDF naar Bremen ook containers meegenomen vanuit Veendam. De containerdraagwagens en afvalwagens werden in Onnen gecombineerd en vanaf daar tweemaal per week via de grensovergang bij Nieuweschans afgevoerd naar Leer en Bremen.
Op 6 juni 2008 is ACTS-loc 7107 na de kruising met Arriva uit Leer vertrokken met trein 47728 richting Leer en passeert hier de brug over de Westerwoldsche Aa. Rechts is een deel van de Oude Remise, een voormalige locomotiefloods van de Staatsspoorwegen, uit 1876 te zien. In 1996 werd het gebouw opgenomen in een reeks van industriële monumenten in de provincie Groningen. De Oude Remise herbergt ondermeer een koffieschenkerij, de Stichting Bruisend Bad Nieuweschans, een toeristisch informatiepunt, een kunstencentrum en museum De Graanrepubliek gevestigd.
A custom build for my nephew for Christmas. He asked for Actric Explorer sets. Got him the Arctic Snowmobile set to go along with this.
'Disappearing Act'
4/365
This morning instead of a thunderstorm, it was a very billowy fog that was brushing up against the windows. Even though it was just beginning to be light, I tumbled out of bed and ran around the house trying to find my snuggly parka and tripod and remote. Then I made a quick dash out the back and tried to play it casual for the passing cars as I ran along the road a little ways to the big field where the fog was sitting in clouds on the ground.
The ground was covered in silvery frost and the moon was still hanging over the mountain. Through the fog it looked very beautifully ghostly and soft.
These are my most favorite times in all of my life; little solitary moments when the world transforms back into fairyland again and I can disappear into it for even just a short while

The Wright Brothers Monument sitting atop Big Kill Devil Hill is a testament to the towering achievements of Wilbur and Orville Wright who did what no one before them could manage: manned, powered, controlled, heavier-than-air flight. To commemorate such an outstanding accomplishment a monument was erected at the site of their gliding experiments. This granite structure was designed by Alfred Easton Poor and Robert Perry Rodgers in 1928, 25 years after the first flight. Their architectural firm, Rodgers & Poor, won a contest to decide who would design the monument. Poor, who served as a pilot in the Navy in both World War I and World War II, was an already established architect with degrees from both Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania. He also had the distinction of being the president of the National Design Center for 10 years. Rodgers, who also served in the Navy during World War I, received a degree from Harvard University as well as receiving a diploma from the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris.
The design of the monument features an Art Deco style which highlights bold geometric shapes. A notable part of the monument is the inscription that reads, “In commemoration of the conquest of the air by the brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright. Conceived by genius. Achieved by dauntless resolution and unconquerable faith.” The monument also features curved, wing-like designs on either side and a lit beacon at the top which functions similarly to a lighthouse. Prior to construction of the memorial’s Mission 66 era visitor center and museum, the inside of the monument acted as a contact station. Visitors could even ascend the very narrow stairs to the top and peer out 150 feet above sea level towards where the Wright brothers flew four flights on December 17th, 1903.
Construction of the monument itself was started in 1928 with Orville Wright in attendance at the laying of the cornerstone. A local organization called the Kill Devil Hills Memorial Association (now the First Flight Society) led the efforts to protect and preserve the site, eventually gaining national support. The monument was proposed by Representative Lindsay Warren of North Carolina and Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut, who set out to convince President Coolidge and Congress of the importance of building the monument. Ultimately the funds were secured, and the “Kill Devil Hills Monument National Memorial” was established and managed by the War Department. To ensure that the monument wouldn’t be susceptible to sand erosion, Big Kill Devil Hill was sodded, and shrubs and other grasses were planted to stabilize it. Construction of the first bridges to the Outer Banks also started during this time in an effort to extend better access to the islands and to the memorial itself. In 1933 control of the monument was given to the National Park Service, and in 1953 it was officially renamed “Wright Brothers National Memorial.” The Memorial was dedicated on November 19th, 1932 with Orville again in attendance as well as prominent aviators and politicians of the time.Today the monument continues to sit atop big Kill Devil Hills and reigns over it as one of the highest points in the Outer Banks while continuing to honor the legacy of two brothers.

Sunrise in Cades Cove at Sparks Lane on October 16, 2016. Heavy cloud cover to the North South and West erupted in color at sunrise because of clear skies to the east. This is the opening act of color that morning...best sunrise I have seen in a while, without a doubt the best I have seen in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Watching it build was a special treat.
Mike and I are in no way perfect when it comes to being eco-friendly. We do try, though, and are always open to changing things to be kinder to our earth. None of us can live without having an impact on the planet, but we can choose what kind of impact we make.

We found this juvenile Crested Caracara (Caracara cheriway) feasting on some roadside trash. As I crept up to it on my belly, it walked over so that there was a grassy berm in between me and it...it made for an interesting composition I think!
