On a Road trip to Colorado. But first, a day on the way... in Beautiful Utah !!

An alternative view of Penzance Roman Catholic Church....."The Immaculate Conception of Our Lady"

 

I took a similar view back in 2016, the only thing that has changed is the addition of no parking lines, but for the life of me I can't see how you'd get a car there and park.

Icterus chrysater

(Yellow-backed Oriole / Turpial Montañero)

 

The Yellow-backed Oriole is well-named, as it is one of the very few species of orioles with a yellow back. Indeed, this oriole shows only two colors, yellow and black: the wings are entirely black, the feathers lacking the white or yellow feather margins that are shown by most other species of oriole.

 

The Yellow-backed Oriole has an oddly discontinuous distribution: it occurs from southern Mexico south to northeastern Nicaragua, and again from Panama south to northern Colombia and Venezuela, but is absent from Costa Rica and from most of Nicaragua. This oriole has a very broad elevational range, ranging up to 2500 m in Central America and almost to 2700 m in Colombia.

Back on black button on my new(ish) coat, must admit I tend to go for coats that have cool details like this!

 

I was going to go for a less obvious choice, but I like subjects like this too much! Bit of a challenge to get the highlights vs shadow balanced on this one.

 

HMM! Button

The low standing sun was proudly illuminating the backs of these beautiful flowers.

Back in black

I hit the sack

I've been too long I'm glad to be back. Yes, I'm

Let loose

From the noose

That's kept me hanging about

I keep lookin' at the sky

'Cause it's gettin' me high

Forget the hearse cause I'll never die

I got nine lives

Cat's eyes

Abusin' every one of them and running wild

 

'Cause I'm back

Yes I'm back

Well I'm back

Yes I'm back

Well I'm ba-hey hey hey

Hey hey hey hey

Well I'm back in black

Yes I'm back in black, hey

 

Back in the back

Of a Cadillac

Number one with a bullet

I'm a power pack

Yes, I'm in a band, with a gang

They've got to catch me if they want me to hang

'Cause I'm back on the track

And I'm beatin' the flack

Nobody's gonna get me on another rap

So look at me now

I'm just makin' my play

Don't try to push your luck

Just get out of my way

 

'Cause I'm back

Yes I'm back

Well I'm back

Yes I'm back

Well I'm ba-hey hey hey hey

Hey hey hey hey

Well I'm back in black

Yes I'm back in black

 

Well I'm back

Yes I'm back

Well I'm back

Yes I'm back

Well I'm ba-hey hey hey hey

Hey hey hey hey

Well I'm back in black

Yes I'm back in black

 

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Yes I am

Hey yeah, yeah oh yeah

Back in now

Well I'm ba-hey hey hey hey (I'm back)

Hey hey hey hey, (I'm back)

Hey hey hey hey, (I'm back)

Hey hey hey hey, (I'm back)

Hey hey hey hey, (I'm back)

Hey hey hey hey

Back in black

Yes I'm back in black

Well, not back as such, I never left! Do you take play shots waiting for the light? Well, this is mine. Can you imagine how excited I was? And then the clouds rolled in snuffing out any hint of dawn colour. As the sun rose behind the wall of cloud, the inversion dissipated leaving not scrap of mist 😆

 

Crap, noisy high ISO shot (to keep the definition in the cloud). How I wish I'd taken an LE and blended! Ah well, you live and learn. Still an absolutely brilliant day charging around the fells.

 

*** Edit: Swapped noisy for smeary. The noisy version is here (not like you care but for my own records 😁):

Great horned owl giving the over the shoulder look back

Back Tor on the Great Ridge separating the Hope Valley and Edale.

I went looking for salamanders on Wednesday and found a few Red-backed ones. They are the ones usually out first so it wasn't a surprise.

 

I hope everyone enjoys this image! :D

Back Tor on the Great Ridge separating Edale and the Hope Valley.

The little beauty was preening its breast feathers, and when it raised its head back up, it had its feathers all puffed out.

On June 24th the MRL bridge at Twin Bridges, Montana collapsed while a train was passing through it taking down two of the three through truss spans over the Yellowstone river. The remaining one was sufficiently undamaged that an impressively quick reconstruction project by BNSF and MRL had the bridge back in service with this cobbled together assortment of spans in a short timeframe with the first train crossing the bridge on Saturday, July 22nd. In this view a couple days later on the 26th of July a westbound BNSF coal train is rolling across the "new bridge" at Twin Bridges, east of Reed Point, MT.

VENICE - Reminded me of the wonderful track by Curved Air - I went to a Festival at Cardiff Castle (Headliners: Status Quo) and was told that Curved Air were Danish - not true, though the lead singer Sonja Kristina was danish sounding. Nowadays I can re-live Sonja singing 'Back Street Luv' via the internet - Amazing? (Youtube is the obvious option)

Creí que, como el mar

una noche de verano, tu sonrisa

me invitaba a sumergirme

(únicamente

a mi)

en tus aguas

profundas.

Pero salió la luna

y vi la playa llena

de exhaustos nadadores
