When I first came to live on Merseyside in 1999 Avon buses operated a number of deckers but for most of the intervening years they have been an exclusively saloon fleet. Lately they have acquired deckers again. Y173 NLK, a Plaxton-bodied Volvo B7TL new to Metroline and preserved Ribble Leyland National TRN 808V, frame ex-First Alexander ALX400 buses with similar underpinnings in the operator's yard.
The "Manchester Wheel" circles above the crowds. Higher still is the trail of an airplane. Both are real and reflected in Selfridges (I think) windows. This is one of the few images on my photostream that I conceived beforehand, but I hadn't planned for the airplane trail (which I think adds something to the overall result)
I took quite a few variants of this, each from a slightly diffferent perspective. It seemed obvious to angle it so the line of the glass split the image exactly in two down the centre, with the airplane trails nicely joining up. But in the final analysis I much preferred this offset version.

We spent the last few days at Jewel Lake Provincial Park, Kootenay Boundary. The loons were wonderful and this guy, along with his mate, was a special treat.
He is also known as the Arctic three-toed woodpecker.
Their range is boreal forest across Canada. In particular the species is a burnt-forest specialist, feeding on the outbreaks of wood-boring beetles that feed on recently burnt trees.
Picoides is a genus of 3 three-toed woodpeckers in the woodpecker family, Picidae, that are native to Eurasia and North America. The species are the Eurasian three-toed, the American three-toed and the black-backed woodpecker.
The genus Picoides formerly contained around 12 species. In 2015 a molecular phylogenetic analysis of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences from pied woodpeckers (the tribe Dendropicini) found that three existing genera (Picoides, Veniliornis and Dendropicos) were polyphyletic. After the creation of six new monophyletic genera and the subsequent rearrangement in which most of the former members of Picoides were moved to Leuconotopicus and Dryobates, only three of the original species remained. Some taxonomic authorities, including the American Ornithological Society, continue to place some of the species now found in Dryobates and Leuconotopicus here.
The foot of all three species show an extreme adaptation to arboreal living by lacking the first digit, or hallux. It has been pointed out however that various species of pied woodpecker are similar in having a short first digit. Two species of woodpecker in genus Sasia (not closely related) also lack the first digit.

Analysis of my brain pan revealed lots of activity of a bird-like nature. I've been assured it's harmless.

Resolutions:
1. Cut myself some slack
2. Don't let things I can't control control my happiness.
With a start of a new years comes some more self-analysis. I've realized that taking photos has become less fun for me because I'm trying to make everyone else happy. The amount I like a picture is being decided by all the wrong things and I'm done with it. So with a new year comes a new idea, I'm taking photos for me, and if you like them that's peachy, but my opinion is what matters the most to me.

It's been a while, but I'm gonna do my best to be consistent here.
I'm back from NY, so here's the first of likely many more to come.
