if you press L or on the photo itself it will enlarge and then you can see the first words we used to learn in Holland, like aap, noot, mies, wim, zus.

Steller's jays are always a welcome sight, but none more beautiful of a time than in the winter. I love to see the contrast between their beautiful tones of blue with black against the white of the snow. On this day, we watched as a group of Steller's jays foraged for food in the hardened snow patch. This jay had found some and tossed them back to swallow. So interesting.
Happy Wednesday!!

Had an amazing day at Ian Howells Wildlife Photography hide, his set up is first class and the birds visiting are spectacular, the highlight of course was this Goshawk, seen here interacting with a squirrel! The squirrel was looking for a fight but clearly no match and backed off! More photos of the coming days and take a look at my small video on Youtube youtu.be/_vpLNWLF09o
Die Viermastbark Peking wieder zu Hause im Hamburger Hafen: Flying P-Liner oder kurz P-Liner nannten Seeleute in der Zeit der Windjammer hochachtungsvoll die Segelschiffe der Hamburger Reederei F. Laeisz. 66 der 86 Segelschiffe, die sich im Besitz der Reederei F. Laeisz befanden, trugen Namen mit dem Anfangsbuchstaben „P“. Dies ist auf eine kleine Bark, die im Jahre 1856 für die Reederei bei H.C. Stülcken gebaut wurde, zurück zu führen. Die Bark wurde nämlich PUDEL getauft – nach dem Spitznamen der Reedersgattin Sophie Laeisz. Heute gibt es nur noch vier erhaltene Flying P-Liner – die POMMERN, die PASSAT, die PADUA und die PEKING. Die PADUA wird immer noch als Segelschulschiff genutzt, während die POMMERN und die PASSAT als Museumschiff in Mariehamn (Finnland) und in Travemünde fest vor Anker liegen. Die PEKING ist aus New York nach Deutschland zurückgekommen und wird nun Museumsschiff in ihrer Heimatstadt Hamburg.
The four-mast boat Peking back home in the harbor of Hamburg: Flying P-Liner or P-Liner for short, sailors in the time of the Windjammer highly named the sailing ships of the Hamburg shipping company F. Laeisz. 66 of the 86 sailing ships owned by the shipowner F. Laeisz bore names with the initial letter "P". This can be traced back to a small bark built in 1856 for the shipping company at H. C. Stülcken. The bark was baptized PUDEL – after the nickname of the shipowner’s wife Sophie Laeisz. Today there are only four surviving Flying P-Liner – the POMMERN, the PASSAT, the PADUA and the PEKING. The PADUA is still used as a sailing school ship, while the POMMERN and the PASSAT are used as a museum ship in Mariehamn (Finland) and Travemünde (Germany) . The PEKING has returned from New York to Germany and is now a museum ship in its hometown of Hamburg.

Now I'm back from my short trips to Bavaria and then to my bro, who lives in the Breisgau...
Will catch up next!
As normality descends on our household ( children return to school today) so I thought I’d go back to ‘normal’ on Flickr!
Hope you all have a good day and thanks for stopping

My new collection is coming soon. Hey guys! Are you readyyyyyy? :P
A Chesnut-backed Chickadee! The Chickadee landed on our dwarf pine tree waiting for a turn at our Suet feeder. We usually only see the CBCH during the Winter months.

do you see the other yet?

I'm finally trying to get back into the swing of things. Life here in the States has gone a little off the rails, and work has become much more demanding. Finding time to get out with the drone has been like searching for a needle in a haystack.
I was recently in St. Pete, Florida, on the Gulf Coast, and stopped at the Pinellas Bayway South Bridge to capture a few drone shots. It was one of those brutally hot Florida afternoons, and I was on my way to a business meeting, dressed in a suit.
I'm sure the locals were wondering why there was a guy in a business suit standing outside his Jeep, staring into the sky while flying a drone in the middle of the day. 😂
Sometimes you just have to take advantage of the opportunities when they present themselves. I hope you enjoy the photos, and I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone's amazing work again! ✌️😎
The four DL Alcos that have just dropped their train in Pocono and Cresco are closing in on Scranton with their return train. The set is crossing Roaring Brook River viewed from Davis trail, a neat way to finish the day.
A quick pic of my new little piece of heaven. I finally found a corner lot and made good use of it! This is the Trompe Loeil house from Collaborate last month. This is a raw shot in FS from SL, I just played with Windlight and water settings.

@ Port Mann Bridge, Surrey
Last week, the New Port Mann Bridge opened to eastbound traffic.
At 65 meters wide, it's the world's widest long-span bridge according to the Guinness World Records.

Sony A7r (720nm IR) Olympus Zuiko 21mm f/3.5
After the watery demise of my A7r, I now have a replacement.
The end of my walk, in the village of Studham, at the southern tip of Bedfordshire, nestling in a hollow south of Dunstable Downs surrounded by an extensive plateau. It was a warm day and the outside temperature gauge in the car read 25 degrees.
I had a nic lunch in 'The Red Lion' pub, sitting outside before the drive home.
. . . Skipper was allowed outside. Now all the cats are strictly indoor cats. Sometimes it makes me sad for them, but they do much better inside.
... at the damage from Storm Arwen.
The storm that ripped through Aberdeenshire in November/December 2021 is still ever-present here; the slow work of tackling fallen and damaged trees is still ongoing. So many long familiar stands of trees have been decimated ... the sadness lingers on!
The shot here was taken a year ago, in February 2022, when the repair work on the Kirk was getting underway. A huge old tree was blown down and took a lot of the front wall and fencing with it. The massive root ball was not easy to move! Further back in the shot you can see the ruins of the old Kirk, they survived the storm.
And as I upload this morning, the first named storm of our winter, Storm Otto, is raging outside. It woke us at 6 a.m. so I am uploading this early in case we have the expected power cuts. With so many miles of overland pylons it is wise to prepare for cuts .. and after Arwen we have invested heavily in all manner of ways to make it easier to endure days with no power or mobile connectivity!
A link to our final rescue after almost a week of sub-zero in 2021 in the first comment field.
HFF!

As I review the photos from our Utah trip, I keep going back to the Bryce Canyon National Park. This was a photo from our first day there, April 21, 2023. My eyes kept getting drawn to those areas beyond the Silent City, or Bryce Amphitheater. The object here was what I thought might be a dry water reservoir and/or some part of the Aquarias Plateau.
