Red squirrels are pretty smart! They know exactly who is carrying a Cliff Bar. This little guy came racing up the trail to meet us and followed right out onto the shore ice, well away from any cover of the trees. At one point Lynn lost sight of him and he'd climbed up on top of her backpack. He or she must have been pretty hungry.
This is a cropped section of an image from this weeks adventure in Bentonville. Like much of the country lately, it was very windy.
The Royal Imperial Palace of Schönbrunn, Vienna, as seen from behind the Neptune Fountain, which was built at the command of Empress Maria Theresia. Excavation began in 1776 and the fountain was completed in 1780.
Captured with what is currently my favourite lens - the very quirky XR Rikenon 1:2.2 55mm. In certain situations it behaves as a soft-focus lens (see my other images). But have a look at those bars - as sharp as one could want...

At one point whilst photographing this godwit a dog walker came down one of the ramps onto the small beach within the harbour. Interestingly as the dog approached the godwit the godwit moved much closer to me
Nahum 3:13 “Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open unto thine enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars.”
Widespread in summer across northern Europe and Asia, this godwit also crosses the Bering Strait to nest in western Alaska. Big, noisy, and cinnamon-colored, it is conspicuous on its tundra nesting grounds. Bar-tailed Godwits from Alaska spend the winter in the Old World.
I bought this tiny bar of soap over a year ago thinking it might make a nice prop. I've no idea what it looks like inside, but I liked that it glowed when the sun shone through it ... and that it was tied up with hairy string! There's a dolls house bath behind it and the starfish in the foreground is madly tiny (less than ½" across). :)
For this week's Looking Close... on Friday! group theme, Soap Bar.
The Bar-tailed Godwit is a rather plain, but quite large wader, more or less confined to marine habitats around Britain’s coasts.
Birds arrive from late summer and on into early winter from their arctic breeding grounds, favouring low-lying coasts with a muddy or sandy substrate. Their winter dress is pale greys and browns and they have a long, very slightly upturned bill, which is pink at the base.
The Wetland Bird Survey estimates a wintering population in Britain approaching 30,000 birds with two thirds spending the winter months on The Wash in eastern England. The tideline is the best place to observe Bar-tailed Godwits feeding, and at high tide they gather in tight flocks to roost.
I found it fascinating that these birds have the remarkable ability to flexibly curl the top of their beak. Amazing. :))
Early Conrail leased anything they could get for power. CN units were everywhere. BAR power was also around, but with a smaller fleet, since it was a smaller RR. BAR 87 & 83 probably got paired up often up in Maine, but it was a big deal to catch them together on this Eastbound at Goodman Street in Rochester, NY on May 10, 1978. I should have paid more attention to that Frisco box car too.
