The change from Daylight Saving Time back to Standard Time has been a source of consternation for the cats as I try to shift their feeding times an hour later. It is expressed with counter stalking and dramatic licking of the scoop that I use to dole out portions of dry food--as if to say "I am on the brink of starvation".
I can not get them to understand the concept. :D

Guru is almost 8 months old, muscular and solid, but you can see the kitten in him still, peering into that dish towel.
Puerto Deportivo de Alicante / Alicante Marina: a group of twelve rowers plus coxswain (=13!) clad in eye-catchingly bright t-shirts exemplifies teamwork, rowing their boat. As they glide through the calm water, the Saturday morning sun is shining brightly over the nautical scene, highlighting nearby moored yachts and the palm trees on the quayside.

Not the name of the Falls, just the position. Leaving both the top and the bottom of the falls seems to have focused attention on the mid ground. This area is typically part of the narrative and not the story itself. So, I placed it front and center, making it the story.
After all, this is the area of activity. While the top will feed the falls, and the bottom will exit the falls, the mid area is a concentration of activity.
Naples Memorial Town Hall is a historic town hall located at Naples in Ontario County, New York. It was built in 1870-72 and is a lavish and imposing, two story rectangular brick building in the Italianate style. It was designed by A. J. Warner & Company,[2] the Rochester partnership of A. J. Warner and Charles Coots. The town hall served as the center of the village and town's social and recreational activities until World War II. Between 1942 and 1972, the building was in private hands and served a variety of commercial and light industrial uses. In 1972, it was reacquired by the town and serves as a community center and host site for the annual Naples Grape Festival
One from Rufford Old Hall (National Trust). Lots of activity collecting nectar from a nearby Willow to relay back to the hive

After all the excitement of the Highland Widlife Park I came to nice quiet surroundings of Loch Insh. The loch was partly frozen and the only company were some ducks. The mountains beyond have a good covering of snow, the water here was not frozen but there was a cold wind . There is a large watersports activity centre here with all the usual facilities.
Part of my afternoon stroll at Shorncliffe earlier this week. In the distance one may make out Moreton Island, a popular tourist destination and not too far by ferry from Brisbane.
After catching the UP MNPRVX at Doyle, my friend and I made our way out to Sand Pass, Nevada, to begin our chase of the MGRRV.
Earlier in the day, we had caught the INPOA descending into the foothills around James, California, alongside a BNSF HBARPAS/HFRSPAS. We'd catch the BNSF a handful of miles east of Belden, followed up by a shot at Keddie. We were pretty hungry and decided to get some breakfast after our shot at Keddie.
Currently, the Bug Fire is running rampant, burning hundreds of thousands of acres just east of Scotts/Reno Junction. Many have been evacuated, and firefighters are working hard to contain the fire. My friend has posted his shot of this train on his page, and the fire is clearly visible. Go check it out: flic.kr/p/2suCgbL
As for the MGRRV, we'd grab our first shot at Sand Pass (seen here), followed by Omira, Reno Junction, and Portola. Of the 4-5 trains on the lineup for Portola (that we would've seen in light), we photographed only 2. It sucks, but that's what happens when you shoot the former WP!

On January 22, solar reports warned of high solar activity with the presence of two important active regions associated with class M solar flares (www.spaceweather.com/glossary/flareclasses.html). In the image on the left you can see the configuration of the active regions on the Sun's disk. Active region 3559 (detail on the right, left in the complete image of the Sun), had rapid growth and crossed the solar disk in the course of the week. On January 23, this active region and 3561 (on the right in the image of the solar disk separated by around 500,000 km), erupted simultaneously, generating a "sympathetic solar flare", produced by a physical connection between both active regions, which caused shortwave radio blackouts in Australia and Indonesia (www.spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=23&mo...). The large active region 3559 had a "beta-gamma" class magnetic field and more than thirty sunspots, while 3561 evolved over the course of the week reaching about 100,000 km wide and twenty dark cores.
Details associated with the day of capture: www.spaceweatherlive.com/es/archivo/2024/01/22/dayobs.html
The image of the entire disk on the left was taken with a "Meade" 80/400 refractor telescope and the detail on the right, with an "Explore Scientific" 127, f/15 Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope. In both cases a "Meade" 575 white light filter was used (remember not to expose your eyes to the Sun or photographic equipment without the appropriate filters), a Player One Neptune-M camera and a Player One IR685 filter.

Are there extraterrestrials living among us on earth? What do they do? These are the type of questions humans have debated for ages, and after a weekend at Death Valley National Park, I believe I am ready to solve them. Speculate no more, as aliens are playful creatures who, it turns out, live in the mountains around The Racetrack Playa and come out every full moon to move around rocks.
Why you might ask, would aliens do this when there are so many things they could see and do on earth? The answer is simple: to mess with tourists. It’s probably a higher calling on their planets. As the legend goes, no one has ever seen these rocks in Death Valley National Park move. Nonsense. As the hit film Men in Black taught us, aliens have the power to erase our minds. Heck, there’s a good chance I saw aliens the night I took this photo. I don’t remember seeing them, but I cannot say definitively that I did not see them....
