A return trip to Wyoming in late October found me back at Tie Siding on 10-29-16 to record the passage of this hot eastbound stack train.
Hey, Star Sugar fam! 💖 After taking some much needed time off, I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be back to creating in 2025! 🎨🌟 This year has been a whirlwind, but it gave me a chance to recharge and reflect on the magic I want to bring to Star Sugar.
I can’t wait to share what I’ve been dreaming up new designs, fresh ideas, and all the sparkles you’ve come to love. Thank you so much for sticking around and supporting Star Sugar. Here’s to a year of creativity, fun, and all things sweet! 🍭💫
Stay tuned exciting things are just around the corner! ️💞
Love, Alice
After picking up their interchange traffic at Hilton, Bay Line's Hilton turn heads back west as they cross the Chattahoochee river back into Alabama.
Liked the setting sunlight hitting the adjacent building (off frame) that was back-washing this old hotel there in Ocean City. Taken from the Boardwalk while strolling down for the evening with Ms. Krach :)
This is one of my favorite photos I took a while back. Back lighting is by far my favorite way to light a scene, so when I came across this fern, lit up by a single ray of sun that had made its way through the dense forest, I knew I had a great shot.
RUTA: "It doesn't look like spring! Where have our beautiful spring flowers gone?"
OTIS: "Oh....looks like the flowers have been deleted out by the snow!"
ODESSA: "Oh, we'd better go back to the room......"
PAT: "Agree....let`s go!...Don`t fall down, Ruta...you have no boots."

Here you see her near Port Lockroy, Antarctica.

A considerate Slaty-backed cleaning the marina roof gutters. This photo shows the wide white trailing edge to the wings (on both wings this time!) as well as the "string of pearls" running down the wingtips. This Slaty appears to be the same bird which was at Lower Monumental Dam (seen 1-8 to 1-11), the first record for Eastern Washington. Accepted by the WBRC.
ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S27508727
ID Marks:
Wide white trailing edge to the wings,
String of pearls, unlike in Western or hybrids,
Somewhat light eye,
Light streaking on the head/neck region is fine because Slaty-backed Gulls are really variable (like the one at Gog-Le-Hi-Te Wetlands in Tacoma) and this bird's streaking was more evident in the field than in this photo,
Legs are very deep pink, Westerns have lighter pink feet,
Smudging around eye gives gull "eyebrowed" look,
Darker mantle than surrounding California Gulls (As dark as Lesser Black-backed Gull, also present). The Northern populations of Westerns have similar mantle shade to California, thus would also have lighter mantle shade than Slaty-backed.

🎵Took you like a shot
Thought that I could chase you with the cold evening
Let a couple years water down how I'm feeling about you (feeling about you)
And every time we talk
Every single word builds up to this moment
And I gotta convince myself I don't want it, even though I do (even though I do) 🎵
🎵You could break my heart in two
But when it heals, it beats for you
I know it's forward but it's true 🎵
🎵I wanna hold you when I'm not supposed to
When I'm lying close to someone else
You're stuck in my head and I can't get you out of it
If I could do it all again
I know I'd go back to you 🎵
🎵I know I'd go back to you
I know I'd go back to you 🎵
Back to work again, the time at home passes at twice the speed than at work.
Flying over Scapa Flow this afternoon on the way to Aberdeen
It's been months since my last visit to Japan. People are more energy conscious now, I see alternate lights switched off. The city skyline is not as bright but by and large it's the same. Great to be back.
Away a few days.

We have visited this country pub, restaurant and garden many times over the years but sadly not for the last 12 months because of coronavirus restrictions.
However, we recently went for a walk and noticed the man on the right busily refurbishing the outside tables. I assume they are preparing to reopen as lockdown restrictions are starting to ease.
A check on their website reveals that, if all goes well, outside dining only will resume on 28 April. The only other factor which cannot be anticipated is the British weather, unpredictable at the best of times!
We have a small backyard. I would even call it tiny. I've been for the last four years trying to convert it into my little refuge, built around existing trees, shrubs and hardscape. I've been growing a lot of things in pots, and finding items at resale shops. Many of the plants I have were found as discards, or offered to me by kind neighbors. The image on the left shows a dark corner that I am calling the "fern garden." In addition to the canopy provided by young maple, the space is dominated by a rhododendron and bordered by two neighboring fences. It's dark in there and I have been adding native PNW ferns and other forest floor plants, like wild ginger, columbine and oxalis. I've also scrounged some nice larger lava rocks to add to the landscape. There have been some failures. The patio is dominated by small trees in pots. Some may find their way into the ground, but space, both in back and out front is limited.
The images were taken in the summer of 2022, before we lost Wesley (in November).

A female Red Backed Shrike is seen perched high in a bush calling to another of its species. This is a bird that has seen a huge decline in the UK with barely no breeding population left. There were however a reasonable number to be seen on my recent trip. At the storefront in Baku I came across a few including this one. I recall when I was a youth being fascinated by the shrikes action of catching its prey, taking it to a larder and impaling it on a thorn bush to safe for later. Although I haven’t witnessed this practice this is the first time I have come across one of these birds.
